【解析】选B。考查动词pretend的用法。句意: 他父亲回来时, 那个男孩假装已经入睡。动词pretend后要接不定式结构, 表示“假装已经做某事”要用pretend to have done sth. 结构。故答案为B。
【拓展延伸】
只能接不定式作宾语的动词还有: afford负担得起, arrange安排, ask要求, choose选择, decide决定, demand要求, determine决心, expect期待, 预计, hesitate犹豫, hope希望, long渴望, manage设法, offer主动提出, plan计划, prepare准备, promise答应, refuse拒绝, want想要, wish希望等。
