Question

The village seemed______, the only sign of life____some trees waving in the howling wind．

A．alone; were	B．deserted; being
C．lonely; was	D．abandoned; to be

Answer 1

B

第一空考查形容词辨析：alone;孤单，一个人，deserted荒芜一人的， lonely;感到寂寞的， abandoned被抛弃的，修饰村子是用deserted，第二空考查独立主格结构，因为两句话之间没有连词，用现在分词being，和逻辑主语the only sign of life，一起构成独立主格结构。选B。
