___ to give up smoking, he threw away his _____ cigarettes.
A.Determined; remained
B.Determined; remaining
C.Determining; remaining
D.Determining; remained
答案:B
题目分析:句意:他决定要戒烟,所以他扔掉了剩下的烟头。sb be determined表示某人已经下定了决心,故它的非谓语动词是determined;remaining剩下的,不能用remained,故选B。
点评:本题难度适中。非谓语动词是高中阶段的重难点之一,尤其这里考生难以理解某人自己下定决心而为什么用过去分词;这里remaining往往做前置定语,left剩下的,做后置定语。
即学即练:Reading is an experience quite different from watching TV; there are pictures _______ in your mind instead of before your eyes.
A. to form B. form C. forming D. having formed
解析:C。句意:form表示“出现、产生”,是不及物动词,又因为pictures与form是主动关系,故用现在分词作定语。
