　　1. the girl taken to the court by the police claimed that__________(被说服吃药).

　　2. ______________ (如果你按照我的指令的话), the computer wouldn't have broken down.

　　答案解析:

　　1. 答案: she had been talked into taking medicine//she had been persuaded to take medicine

　　详解:

　　考查被动语态:主语the girl是"说服"的承受者，故用被动结构。

　　考查看常用表达:"被说服"表达为be talked into doing sth，也可用be persuaded to do sth表达。

　　查固定搭配:"吃药"用take medicine表达，不能用eat medicine

　　2.答案: if you had followed my instructions/orders //had you followed my instructions/orders

　　详解:

　　考查虚拟语气:当主句出现woukl not havc done的形式时，从句应采用过去完成时，即"had+过去分词"结构。如果用if引导从句则是if+主渭的形式: if也可省略，在这种情况把had过于主语之前，构成倒装结构。

　　考查固定搭配:"按照我的指令"，表达为follow my instructions/orders,注意多样化的表达。
