Question

I thought I could continue to work here, but________I shall have to look for another job.

A. in fact    B. as it is

C. as usual    D. as is the case

Answer

B

【解析】考查固定结构。句意：我原以为我能在这儿继续工作，但看样子我得另找工作了。in fact“实际上”，应用逗号隔开；as it is照现状看，看样子；as usual像平常一样；as is the case情况就是这样的。故选B。

【名师点睛】

浅谈as it is 与 as it were

as it is
1．really；in reality事实上
We hoped that things would get better，but as it is， they are getting worse．我们本希望情况会好转的，但是事实上，现在情况正在恶化。
2．without changes or improvements（used after the word it modifies）照原来的样子（位于被修饰词之后）
Leave it as it is．听其自然。It's good enough as it is．照现在这个样子已经很不错了。
as it were
1．in a manner；as if it really were 宛如；似乎
He is，as it were，a walking dictionary．他仿佛是部活字典。
2．so to speak可以说
Books are，as it were，his life．书可以说就是他的生命。
