析:根据关键词“by”判断,正确答案为C。
四、关注标点符号能快速锁定最佳选项
英语的标点符号常常是我们借以判断最佳选项的重要信号,因此,我们在审题时要特别注意它的功能,不同的标点有不同的作用。
1、--- ______ a second time, will the man have one more try ?

A. Turn down B. If turning down
C. He was turned down D. If turned down
析:根据逗号 “,”的功能判断,逗号的前部分要么是从句要么是非谓语动词(短语)或独立主格,此空应用被动结构,所以答案选D。
2. _____ some exercise every day — I'm sure you'll get fit sooner or later.
A. To take B. taking C. Have taken D. Take
析:破折号“——”相当于“and”,前后结构应保持平衡,因此答案为D。
