Question

(2013·江苏高考)Shortly after suffering from a massive earthquake and ________ to ruins, the city took on a new look.

A．reducing	B．reduced
C．being reduced	D．having reduced

Answer 1

C

选C　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空格处与suffering from是and连接的两个并列成分，在形式上应保持一致，又因reduce与the city之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此选being reduced。
