12．"Chinese dama"，a group ________ mainly of married women between 40and 60，_____ the attention of the public for the first time in 2013．（ ）| A． | consisted；grabbing | B． | consisting； grabbing | ||
| C． | consisting； grabbed | D． | consisted； grabbed |
分析 中国大妈，一个主要由已婚的40到60岁之间的妇女组成的群体，2013年第一次吸引了公众的注意．
解答 答案是C．本题考查非谓语动词；第一空需要的是a group的定语，consist of （组成），不用被动语态和进行时态，往往用现在分词做定语和状语，由此排除A和D；去掉逗号中间的同位语，可以发现句中的grab充当谓语，用谓语动词的形式；题干中有了过去的时间状语2013，故grab用过去时，答案是C．
点评 首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．要关注常见非谓语动词的搭配．

1．There are good reasons to cherish our friendships．Some years ago a public-opinion research firm，Roper Starch Worldwide，asked 2007people to name one or two things that said the most about themselves．Friends far outranked homes，jobs，clothes and cars．
"Ironically，"says Brant R．Burleson，professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette，Ind．，"the better friends you are，the more conflicts you may face．"And the outcome can be what you don't want-an end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended．
Swallow your pride．It wasn't easy，but that's what Denise Moreland of Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii did when a friendship turned sour．For nearly four months，Moreland，45，had watched over Nora Huizenga's two young daughters，who were living with their father on the base，while Huizenga，40，completed training as a dental hygienist in Nevada．"I felt honored to be asked to step in，"Moreland says．
"When Huizenga returned at Christmas，"Moreland recalls，"I had so much to tell her，but she never called．"
One daughter had a birthday party，but Moreland wasn't invited．"I felt like I'd been used，"she says．At first，Moreland swore to avoid Huizenga．Then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt．Huizenga admitted that she'd been so worried about being separated from her family that she'd been blind to what her friend had done to help her．Today she says，"I would never have figured out what happened if Denise hadn't called me on it．"
When a friend hurts you，your instinct is to protect yourself．But that makes it harder to solve problems，explains William Wilmot，author of Relational Communication．"Most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open．"
Apologize when you're wrong-even if you've also been wronged．But over the course of a friendship，even the best people make mistakes．"We don't think clearly when we're arguing，"says Michael Lang，a professional mediator （调解人） in Pittsburgh．Instead，says Lang，ask："What's going on？This doesn't make sense．"
See things from your friend's point of view．Sociologists Rebecca Adams Rosemary and Blieszner interviewed 53adults who each had many friendships lasting decades．"We were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long，"says Blieszner．Tolerance is key，the researchers learned．"It's surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding，"adds psychotherapist Anne Frenkel．
Accept that friendships change．"Friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change，"Wilmot observes．
Making friends can sometimes seem easy，says Yager．The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships．Her suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift，and worth the effort to treasure and nurture．
