A. Come
B.Came
C. Coming
D. Having come
Come what may 是一个固定的用法,其中come总是用原形动词,在这一用法中,主谓必须倒装,其实就是what may come 的倒装 (无论如何,不管发生什么情况)

从句式结构分析,_____的部分是以从句,再结合主句的谓语should have断定这是与将来情况相反的虚拟语气用法。条件句的谓语应该用should+动词原形或者were to+动词原形。If +subject +should do/were to do, 而且可以将should 或者were提到句首,而省略if。
主句的谓语为should,would,could,might+do;C和D似乎都可以,但是这里come ,go ,leave ,arrive等动词,进行时表将来,不是to do.
9. As ____ clear from his manners, he is a teacher.
A. being
B. is
C. to be
D. been
As 在句首,做关系代词,引导的特殊attributive clause。as意为“如,照(某种事实或情况)”, 指代后一个分句,as代替整个句子作主语时,谓语动词通常必须用单数。Now let’s review together the word “as” used as conjunction in English

本句的原因状语采用现在分词主格结构,由于主句和从句的主语不一致,故在作状语的现在分词之前加了其逻辑主语more and more advanced farm machines。从时间上看,产量的提高发生在使用先进机械之后,所以需要用完成时,而从语态上看,被动语态才能够阐述所要表达的意思。
