2019年mpa考试英语真题——固定短语11

{01}Thinking about the fact that I was not prepared well enough, and _______ to lose my face, I gave up this year’s civil service exam．
A.didn’t want
B.not wanted
C.not wanting
D.not to want
解析：这个句子是由and连接的两个并列的句子, 所以时态应保持一致。在句中现在分词短语作原因状语。
本题选C。
{02}They ________ each other for many years before they ________．
A.had been in love; got married
B.fell in love; got married
C.had fell in love; married
D.love; got married
解析：fall in love with sb．“爱上某人”，fall为瞬间动词，不与表示一段时间的状语连用，只有be in love with sb．能与表示一段时间的状语连用。句意为“他们相爱了很多年才结婚”，因为相爱在结婚之前，应用过去完成时。
本题选A。
