Question

After starting work, Cao spent his evenings _____ in his books and was eventually admitted to a secondary technical school.

A．burying	B．buried
C．being buried	D．having buried

Answer 1

B

解析试题分析:句意：在开始工作后，Cao花费晚上的时间埋头读书，最后被一所中等专科学校录取了。此题容易误选A，spend time/money doing sth“花费时间或者钱做某事”，而此处只表示埋头读书这一状态，不强调动作，be buried in “埋头于”，做状语时省略be动词，答案选B。
考点：考查非谓语动词。
