5．According to the rules of the hotel, guests __are_requested__(request) to vacate their rooms by noon on one day of departure.

6．The manager gave his command that measures __(should)_be_taken__(take) immediately to correct all the mistakes made in marketing.

 

解析：考查虚拟语气。command所接名词性从句中应用“(should＋)动词原形”的虚拟语气。再由句意可知，应用被动语态。

 

7．She was __more_worried__(worry) than angry when her daughter didn't come home.

 

解析：考查固定句式。more...than...与其……不如……。

 

8．I think in English study it is your attitude, not your teachers that __plays__(play) the key role.

13．Marco Polo is said to have sailed on __the__ Pacific Ocean on his way to Java in __the__ thirteenth century.

 

解析：本题考查冠词。句意：据说马可·波罗在十三世纪去爪哇的路上在太平洋上航行过。在表示“江河湖海山脉群岛”的名词前加定冠词the；在世纪表达法中的序数词前面要用定冠词the。

 

14．The film star wears sunglasses.Therefore, he can go shopping without __being_recognized__(recognize)．

 

解析：本题考查非谓语动词。句意：那位影星戴着墨镜，因此他可以在没人认出的情况下购物了。without为介词，后面接动名词形式；the film star与recognize之间存在被动关系，故用动名词的被动式，即“being done”结构。
