【分析】此題容易誤選B，想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為 insist 后的從句謂語(yǔ)要用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”這樣的虛擬語(yǔ)氣。事實(shí)上，insist后的從句謂語(yǔ)是否用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”這樣的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，要看該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的含義。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，若該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生，或尚未成為事實(shí)，則用虛擬語(yǔ)氣;若該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作已經(jīng)發(fā)生，或已經(jīng)成為事實(shí)，則要用陳述語(yǔ)氣。對(duì)上題而言，坐牢的這個(gè)人堅(jiān)持了兩點(diǎn)：一是沒做錯(cuò)事，二是應(yīng)該釋放。很顯然，在坐牢這個(gè)人看來(lái)，“沒做錯(cuò)事”應(yīng)該是事實(shí)，故用陳述語(yǔ)氣;“被釋放”還不是事實(shí)(因?yàn)樗€在坐牢)，故用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。所以此題的最佳答案應(yīng)為A。又如：He insisted that I had read his letter. 他堅(jiān)持說(shuō)我看過(guò)他的信。(“看信”已成為事實(shí)，故用陳述語(yǔ)氣)He insisted that I should read his letter. 他堅(jiān)持要我看他的信。(“看信”尚未成為事實(shí)，故用虛擬語(yǔ)氣)
