In the job interviews applicants often find themselves ______ unexpected questions, some very difficult to answer.
A.asked
B.asking
C.to be asked
D.to ask
答案:A
题目分析:考查find oneself done,过去分词作宾语补足语。分析其宾语与补足语之间的关系:动作未发生用不定式;动作已发生用分词,主动关系用现在分词,被动关系用过去分词。句意:在工作面试中,申请者常常发现自己被问到意想不到的问题,一些很难回答。
点评:“find+宾语+宾补”的用法:
“find+宾语+宾补”这一结构中的宾语补足语可以由现在分词、过去分词、名词、形容词、副词、介词短语以及不定式to be等来充当。分别举例如下:
(1) You will find it a very difficult book.
(2) The youth found it a hard problem to think about.
(3) When he came to himself, he found himself surrounded by a group of boys.
(4) I hope to find you in better spirits when we meet again.
(5) I find the Chinese people to be happy and cheerful.
注意:find+宾语+宾补这一结构中通常不使用动词原形来充当宾语补足语,即没有“find+宾语+动词原形”这样的结构。
