Question

【题目】Nearly 3,500 years ago,people chewed on leaves or drank a kind of tea made from leaves_______a special chemical to reduce body pains and fever.

Answer 1

【答案】possessing

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：在大约3500年前，人们咀嚼一种含有特殊的化学物质树叶或饮用由这种树叶制成的茶，来减少身体的疼痛和退烧。根据句意得知填写“含有”。本句的谓语动词是chewed or drank，而动词possess和谓语之间没有连词。可以判断出此处填非谓语动词。树叶和加工是主动关系，因此用现在分词。填possessing。
