Question

----What are you busy with?
---- The conference_______ in our city next week.

A．held

B．to be held

C．be holding

D．will be held

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：--你在忙什么？--在忙下周要举行的会议。这里是简略回答，只回答了The conference，它的后面是不定式作定语，因为下周举行，所以用不定式表将来，conference与hold之间是被动关系，故用不定式的被动式，故选B。
点评：本题难度适中。非谓语动词是近几年高考的热点，本题是对已学知识点的回顾，需要考生能够理解该题的语言环境，进而作出正确的判断。这里考生容易误选D，认为这应该是一个句子。
即学即练：The pilot asked all the passengers on board to remain ________ as the plane was making a landing.
A. seat           B. seating    C. seated     D. to be seating
解析：C。句意：“飞机登陆时，飞行员要求所有飞机上的乘客坐着不动”。remain是系动词，seated作表语，表示状态。
