Have you heard of it ? Firefighters rushed into a burning house, three of them unfortunately
in and their lives.
A.caught; losing
B.catching; lost
C.caught; lost
D.catching; losing
答案:A
题目分析:句意:你听说过吗?消防战士冲进燃烧的房子,其中的三人不幸被困住了,失去了生命。这里是独立主格结构,three of them与catch是被动关系,故用过去分词;three of them与lose之间是主动关系,故用现在分词,故选A。
点评:本题难度适中。独立主格结构是高中的难点,近几年考得次数较少,需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力,还必须能够理解句意。
即学即练:The thief fell to the ground, his left foot _____ and blood _____ down from his mouth.

C. breaking; run D. broken; run
解析:B。句意:考查独立主格结构。foot和break之间是被动关系,blood和run是主动关系。
