Answer 1

C

試題分析：考查虛擬語氣。句意：這位老工人堅(jiān)持說他不老，堅(jiān)持要求重新回到工作崗位。insist有兩層含義，當(dāng)它作“堅(jiān)持要求，”講時(shí)要用虛擬語氣,從句用should+動(dòng)詞原形,should可以省略。而作“堅(jiān)持說，堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為”講時(shí)不用虛擬語氣。故第一空不用虛擬語氣，根據(jù)動(dòng)詞insisted提示可知應(yīng)填was’t,第二空則要用虛擬語氣，he 與sent之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用被動(dòng)語態(tài)should be sent ,should 可省略。故選答案C。
