Question

_________ to become a superstar, Lady Gaga did all she could to create various shocking images to impress people.

A．Determining

B．To determine

C．Being determined

D．Determined

Answer 1

D

试题分析：be determined to do 下决心做某事，determined是形容词化了的过去分词，做状语。此处不表被动，而是表状态，句意，决定要成为一个超级明星，Lady Gaga 尽一切所能创造出各种雷人的形象来给人以印象。
点评：形容词化了的过去分词，做状语。此处不表被动，而是表状态，类似的还有：be seated,be dressed in ,be lost in ,be located in/at,be faced with,作状语时直接把be 去掉即可。
