例7、With a lot of difficult problems _______, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.
A. settled B. settling C. to settle D. being settled 答案为C

例8、More and more people are signing up for Yoga classes nowadays, ____ advantage of the health and relaxation benefits.
A. taking B. taken C. having taken D. having been taken
答案:A
【解析】 take advantage of (利用)和句子主语More and more people 构成主动关系,且和句子谓语sign up for (报名参加)同时发生,所以选择A。
例9、 Sandy could do nothing but ________ to his teacher that he was wrong.
A. admit B. admitted C. admitting D. to admit 答案为A。
【解析】 该句中的but是介词,后接动词不定式。当谓语动词是do,does或did时,后接不带to的不定式;是其他动词时,后接带to的不定式。该句的谓语是could do nothing,要填动词原形admit。译文:山德不得不向老师承认自己错了。
例10、 He sent me an e-mail, ________ to get further information.
A. hoped B. hoping C. to hope D. hope 答案为B。
【解析】 现在分词hoping表示与send me an e-mail同时发生的动作。一些考生认为应该填不定式作目的状语。不定式作目的状语时,句子的正确形式是:He sent me an e-mail to get further information.不需要hope一词,如果要选择“hoped”时,句子的正确形式是:He sent me an e-mail and hoped to get further information。“hope”和“sent”作并列谓语。
