1. ________ in the traffic jam, I usually set out at 7:00 in the morning from home by car.
A. To avoid to be caught B. To avoid being caught.
C. Avoiding being caught D. Avoiding to be caught
【答案解析】 B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了避免遭遇交通堵塞，我通常早晨7点开车从家出发。分析句子结构可知此处应用不定式短语在句中充当目的状语，固定短语avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”，主语I与catch构成被动关系，所以要用动名词的被动语态。故选B。
2. Much disappointed as he is ____ in the job interview, he still keeps his confidence.
A. to have failed B. to fail C. having failed D. failing
【答案解析】 A
【详解】考查倒装句式及不定式。句意：虽然他对于工作面试失败很失望，但他还是保持自信。本题是as的倒装句，还原后是Though he is much disappointed ______,这时可以看出是句型：sb/sth is +adj +to do这个句型，这里的不定式是主动表被动，而且如果不定式的动作在主句的动作之前发生，用不定式的完成时。本句中的面试失败发生在失望之前，表示动作已完成并对现在产生了影响，此时要动词不定式的完成时，故选A。
