问题
选择题
______ himself with too much homework, he had no time to participate in outdoor activities.
A．Being occupied
B．Occupied
C．Occupying
D．To be occupied
答案
C.
题目分析：本题考查分词作状语。occupy oneself with sth. 或者be occupied with sth. 意为“忙于某事”。 句子主语he是occupy himself的执行者，故用现在分词；若将题干中的himself去除，句子主语he则是occupy的承受者，此时应该用过去分词。此类动词常见的还有：dress, seat, devote, concern, prepare, lose, expose 等。因为课后作业太多，所以没有时间参加户外活动。occupying himself…是原因状语。本题答案C.
