13、 he stopped and looked to see whether.”，由于从句和主句有相同的主语和谓语，故将从句的主语、谓语同时省略，而只留下目的状语“as if to see”。答案D13The fruit _fresh in his fruit stand sells well.Alooking Blooked Clook Dto be looked解析句意为：在他的水果摊上看起来很新鲜的水果卖得很好。句子的谓语动词是sell，所以looking是现在分词作定语相当于定语从句that looks。答案A14_it with me should be a good choice.T
