题目内容

18．The dinner party ______ at 7：00 pm  will be followed by a concert．（　　）
A．to startB．startingC．startedD．being started

分析 晚宴下午7：00开始，随后将有一场演唱会．

解答 答案：B
分析句子结构可知，"______ at 7：00 pm"作定语，修饰句中的主语"The dinner party"；其中，start与主语构成主动关系，所以要用现在分词作定语修饰"The dinner party"；D．being started 是现在分词的被动语态，该结构主要用于表示正在进行的被动动作，此处并没有表达被动的意义关系，所以D不正确．故选B．

点评 本题考查了现在分词的用法．要注意区分现在分词以及现在分词的被动语态的用法．

  Ask Dr？JeffersThis month Dr．Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works．
Dear Dr．Jeffers，
One of my colleagues，Felix Moeller，told me that scientists are learning to use computer to‘read minds'．Is there any truth to this story/
-Jane Leon，New York，USA
Dear Ms．Leon，
Well，a lot of research is being conducted in this area，but so far，the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven't been able to actually read thoughts．In one experiment，tes t subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen．They were then asked to choose between adding or subtra cting（减）the two numbers．Using this method，researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time．It's not quite mind reading，but it's certainly a first step．

Dear Dr．Jeffers，
My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably．The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn't do it．Why not？
-Glenn Lewis，Vancouver，Canada
Dear Mr．Lewis，
It's because of how the brain works．The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore．It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen，but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling．For example，you don't notice how your shoulder feels while you're walking down the street．But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder，you may jump in fear．It's that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction．
-Dr．J．
