1. Now that we’ve discussed our problem, are people happy with the decisions ________?
A. taking B. take C. taken D. to take
【解析】C。由于名詞decision與動詞take之間為被動關系,所以只能選過去分詞taken,其中taken用作定語,修飾名詞decision。句意為:我們已經討論了我們的問題,人們對作出的決定會滿意嗎?又如:We couldn’t agree on any of the problems discussed. 我們未能就所討論的任何問題達成協(xié)議。
2. For breakfast he only drinks juice from fresh fruit ________ on his own farm.
A. grown B. being grown C. to be grown D. to grow
【解析】A。由于名詞fresh fruit與動詞grow之間為被動關系,所以首先可排除選項D。而B和C雖然可以表示被動,但與句意不吻合,因為being grown表示一個正在進行的被動動作,to be grown表示一個尚未發(fā)生的被動動作,均不合題意。
3. ________ twice, the postman refused to deliver our letters unless we chained our dog.
A. Being bitten B. Bitten C. Having bitten D. To be bitten
【解析】B。根據(jù)句意,句子主語the postman與動詞bite之間為被動關系,所以首先可排除選項C;再根據(jù)句意(尤其是注意關鍵詞twice)可知,表示正在進行選項A和表示將要發(fā)生的選項D均不合題意。全句意為:郵遞員被狗咬了兩次之后要我們把狗拴起來,不然就不給我們送信了。
4. ________ and short of breath, Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of Mount Tai.
A. To be tried B. Tired C. Tiring D. Being tired
【解析】B。首先要注意tired與tiring的意思有區(qū)別:前者表示“感到疲勞的”,后者表示“令人疲勞的”或“累人的”,根據(jù)句意,顯然不宜用tiring,故可排除C;由于是與形容詞短語short of breath相并列,所以應選形容詞tired。句意為:雖然累得上氣不接下氣,但安迪和魯比是最先到達泰山山項的。
5. Michael’s new house is like a huge palace, ________ with his old one.
A. comparing B. compares C. to compare D. compared
【解析】D。compared with為英語慣用表達,其意為“與……相比”。又如:Compared with many women, she was indeed very fortunate. 和許多女人相比,她的確算是很幸運的了。
6. With the government’s aid, those ________ by the earthquake have moved to the new settlements.
A. affect B. affecting C. affected D. were affected
【解析】C。根據(jù)句意和空格后的介詞by短語可知,空格處應填一個表被動意義的選項;同時由于句子中已有謂語have moved,所以空格處不能再用謂語形式,而應用非謂語形式,故選C。過去分詞短語affected by the earthquake在句中用作定語,修飾those,句意為:在政府的幫助下,那些受地震影響的人搬進了新家。
7. ________ not to miss the flight at 15:20, the manager set out for the airport in a hurry.
A. Reminding B. Reminded C. To remind D. Having reminded
【解析】B。此題考查的是remind sb not to do sth(提醒某人不要做某事),因句子主語the manager與remind之間為被動關系,所以remind要用過去分詞,即選B。為便于理解,此題可改寫為:As the manager was reminded not to miss the flight at 15:20, he set out for the airport in a hurry.
8. ________ the right kind of training, these teenage soccer players may one day grow the international stars.
A. Giving B. Having given C. To give D. Given
【解析】D。因動詞give與句子主語these teenage soccer players之間為被動關系,所以要用過去分詞given。為便于理解,此題可改寫為:If these teenage soccer players are given the right kind of training, they may one day grow the international stars.
9. ________ by the advances in technology, many farmers have set up wind farms on their land.
A. Being encouraged B. Encouraging C. Encouraged D. Having encouraged
【解析】C。根據(jù)句意和空格后的介詞by短語可知,空格處應填一個表被動意義的選項,故可排除B和D;而選項A為現(xiàn)在分詞的被動式,除表示被動外還表示動作在進行,與句意不符,故也排除。
10. Every evening after dinner, if not ________ from work, I will spend some time walking my dog.
A. being tired B. tiring C. tired D. to be tired
【解析】C。此題從四個選項來看是考查非謂語動詞的用法,但本質上是考查省略結構,句中的if not tired from work為if I’m not tired from work(如果我下班回來不是很累的話),其中的tired已轉化為形容詞。
