---What do you think they are in praise of?
----_________________.
A.ForTomtowinthefirstprize
B.Tom’swinningthefirstprize
C.Tomwonthefirstprize
D.BecauseTomwonthefirstprize
答案:B
题目分析:句意:--你认为他们表扬什么?--汤姆赢得了第一名。这里是do you think是插入语,第二句是应该回答第一句的what,它在第一句中作的宾语,选项AD不能做宾语,故排除AD,选项C是句子不能直接作宾语,第二句完整的是They are in praise of Tom’s winning the first prize.故选B。
点评:本题难度适中。动名词的复合结构是高中阶段的重难点之一,动名词的复合结构的否定式由“名词所有格或物主代词+not+动名词”构成。
即学即练:Victor apologized for ________ to inform me of the change in the plan.
A. his being not able B. him not to be able
C. his not being able D. him to be not able
解析:C。句意:考查动名词的复合结构作宾语。句意为“Victor因没能通知我计划的改变向我道歉”。
