The opening ceremony is a great occasion. It is essential ________for that.
A . for us to be prepared B . that we are prepared
C . of us to be prepared D . our being prepared

【详解】考查虚拟语气及固定句式。句意:开幕式是一个伟大的时刻。我们必须为此做好准备。 A.for us to be prepared 让我们做好准备; B.that we are prepared 我们准备好了; C.of us to be prepared 我们要做好准备; D.our being prepared 我们做好准备。虚拟语气用于主语从句中, it is essential+that 从句,从句的谓语动词应用( should ) + 动词原形, should 可省略。故选项 B 不对;固定句式: it is+ 形容词 +of/for sb +to do sth. 而 essential 后面应用 for 。故选 A 。
