A．you to delay making B．your delaying making C．your delaying to make D．you delay to make 【答案】B 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：只要不是太晚，我不介意你延期做出决定。mind后接动名词，mind one's doing sth意为“介意某人做某事”，固定短语，逻辑主语可用形容词性物主代词your；delay后也接动名词，构成“delay doing sth (延期做某事)”。因此“your delaying making”符合结构。故选B。 3．— Why don’t the doctors stop ________ lunch? — Because they are busy ________ a patient. A．to have; to save B．having; saving C．to have; saving D．having; to save 【答案】C 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：——为什么医生们不停下来吃午饭呢？——因为他们正忙着抢救病人。第一空，根据语境可知，此处指医生们为什么不停下来去吃午饭，应使用stop to do sth.结构，表示“停下正在做的事情去做另一件事情”，to do不定式作宾语，指的是要去做的事情，故用to have；第二空，be busy (in) doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“忙于做某事”，应用动名词saving作宾语。故选C。 4．— Can you go to the movies with me tonight? — ________. I have to finish my homework first. A．It’s a shame B．Take it easy C．I’m afraid not D．You are welcome 【答案】C 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——今晚你能和我一起去看电影吗？——恐怕不行。我得先完成作业。A. It’s a shame真遗憾（表达同情或惋惜）；B. Take it easy不要着急；C. I’m afraid not我恐怕不行（表委婉拒绝）；D. You are welcome不客气。根据“I have to finish my homework first.”可知，要先完成作业，所以恐怕不能和对方一起去看电影，表委婉拒绝。故选C。 5．— Would you like to go to the concert with me this Saturday evening? — ________ I have to prepare for the coming exam. A．It’s none of your business. B．I’d love to, but I can’t. C．Sure, I’ll go with you. D．Why not? 【答案】B 【详解】考查情景交际。句意：——这个星期六晚上你愿意和我一起去听音乐会吗？——我很想去，但是不行。我必须为即将到来的考试做准备。A.
