问题
选择题
______ 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
答案
答案:B
该句的意思是:尽管累并且喘不过来气,但是Andy and Ruby是最早到达泰山山顶的人。形容词可以作状语表示伴随,原因或让步等关系。在该题中形容词作状语是表示让步的,可以恢复为though they were tired and short of breath,然后在进行省略。该题容易误选D。要注意的是形容词作状语时其前不能加being。
