2019年mpacc考试英语真题——介词和介词短语461

{01}We ______ him to take the job, but failed
A.persuaded
B.asked
C.advised him
D.tried to persuade
解析：考查短语。try to persuade sb to do试图劝服。句意：我们试图劝服他从事那份工作，但失败了。
本题选D。
{02}Many parents died in Wenchuan earthquake,_____their children orphans.
A.remaining
B.keeping
C.leaving
D.letting
解析：本题考查动词辨析。所选之词与their children orphans构成“动词+宾语+名词宾补”结构， 由此排除A D项；而keep强调原来状态的持续，与题意不符。“leave +宾语+宾补”使宾语处于某种状态。
本题选C。
