题目内容

While watching television,____      

A.the doorbell rang                       B.the doorbell rings

C.we heard the doorbell ring                D.we heard the doorbell rings

 

【答案】

C

【解析】

试题分析:句意:当我们看电视时,门铃响了。这里while引导的是省略的从句,完整的是while we are watching television,当从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,并且从句的谓语动词有be时,可以把从句的主语与be都省去,故主句的主语也应该是we,所以排除AB;这里是hear sb do听见某人做某事。故选C。

考点:考查省略的用法。

点评:本题难度适中。为了使话说得简明扼要,英语句子中某个单词、短语甚至从句或主句都可以省去。这种省去句子某些成分而保持句子意思不变的现象,称为省略。它是高中阶段的重要的语法项目,需要考生仔细分析句子结构,来确定省略的内容。

即学即练: He is rather difficult to make friends with, but his friendship,____   is more true than  any other.

A.once gained           B.when to gain

C.after gaining        D.while  gaining

解析:A。句意:once gained =" once" it is gained。当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致且从句中含有be动词时,可省略从句中的主语和谓语部分。

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of two port cities lost under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a researcher said yesterday.

Herakleion and Menouthis were rich and proud cities until something reduced them to rubble (碎石) and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, French underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference.

“This is a mystery that is ongoing,” said Goddio, a founder of the European Institute of Marine Archeology, a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein(列支敦士登基金会).

The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandria while exploring sunken ships from Napoleon’s fleet.

Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists(海洋考古学家) and others, are using high powered vacuums, satellite navigation systems and sophisticated sonar(声纳) to excavate(挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high.

Walls of shops, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered.

Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a series of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists believe felled Troy(特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of the collapsed columns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby.

Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could explain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities.

“The argument, as you can see, continues,” Goddio said.

    “It’s such a problem to   35   to drive on the right side, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for   36   .” I replied. “You had better go   37   on the way home,” my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had   38   on the first day, wouldn’t you?” While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English,“ Would you mind telling me   39   you are thinking of leaving?   40   are you going to sit in your car all day?”
