Question

MR .Blank hurried to the airport, only___________ the flight had taken off

Afound;Bfinding;Cfounded;D to find

Answer 1

选D
一 . “ only ＋不定式”结构常用来作句子的结果状语，表示随后发生的动作是一个未曾预料到的令人懊丧的结果。例如：

1. They lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet. 他们搬起石头却砸了自己的脚。

2. I hurried to the airport only to be told that the plan had taken off. 我匆匆忙忙赶到机场，却被告知飞机早已起飞了。

二 . 表示结果的“ only ＋不定式”结构，可以改为由 and 或 but 连接的并列句，但仍然表示结果之意。例如：

1. I ran to the school, only to be informed that I wasn't admitted by Beijing University.

相当于： I ran to the school and was informed that I wasn't admitted by Beijing University. 我是跑着去学校的，却被告知没有被北京大学录取。

2. He survived the crash only to die in the desert. 相当于： He survived the crash but died in the desert. 飞机坠毁时他幸免遇难，但却死在了沙漠里。

Answer 2

D
这里的关键是only
only to do 作状语表示发现不好的事情
如本句中 发现飞机已经起飞了
主要通过句意和only来判断

Answer 3

B

Answer 4

应该选A吧，B是现在进行时，和语境不符； C中found已经是过去时了，没有founded这个用法; D项中不定式一般表示目的和将来，这里都没有这个意思

Answer 5

D
