[考點(diǎn)]定語從句
【精析】A 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,逗號后面是一個非限制性定語從句。關(guān)系詞指代的是先行詞novels, Oliver Twist與先行詞之間為所屬關(guān)系,所以應(yīng)用介詞of,空處應(yīng)用of which。故選A。

[考點(diǎn)]虛擬語氣
【精析】C 根據(jù)句中的時間狀語tomorrow和should invite可知,從句是對將來情況的假設(shè)。在表示對將來情況假設(shè)的非真實(shí)條件句中,從句的謂語動詞用過去式(be動詞用were)或“should/were to+動詞原形”的形式。當(dāng)if引導(dǎo)的非真實(shí)條件句中含有were, had或should時,可省略if,并將were, had或should放在主語前面,形成倒裝。故選C。

[考點(diǎn)]?非謂語動詞
【精析】A It's no use doing sth.是固定用法,意為“做……是無用的”,所以空處應(yīng)用動名詞形式,It作形式主語,真正的主語是后面的動名詞短語。故選A。此外,類似的結(jié)構(gòu)還有:It is no good/no help/fun/a waste of time…+doing…。
