Question

It’s such a surprise! Never did she dream of _______ a chance for her to be sent abroad for further study.

A．there to be

B．there having

C．there being

D．there is

Answer 1

C  

解析试题分析:考查非谓语动词。B选项形式错误；介词of后不跟陈述句做宾语从句，排除B、D选项； there to be 用做动词宾语和介词for的宾语，而there being 用做状语或者除for以外其他介词的宾语，所以C选项正确。句意：这可真是一个惊喜。她做梦都没想到会有一个被派到国外深造的机会。
考点：考查非谓语动词。
