问题 选择题
Shortly after suffering from a massive earthquake and ________to ruins,the city took on a new look.
A.reducingB.reduced
C.being reducedD.having reduced
答案

C

题目分析:句意:“在遭受大地震,沦为废墟之后不久,这座城市就呈现出了新的面貌。”shortly after在……之后不久,引导时间状语。after在此可视为介词,后接动名词作其宾语。根据短语reduce the city to ruins(使城市沦为废墟)可知,逻辑主语the city 与reduce构成被动关系,排除A、D两项;而and连接两个并列成分,根据suffering from a massive earthquake and________to ruins中suffering 的形式,可确定答案为being reduced。故选C。
