27、m at primary school.Can you recognize me in it?Ataking Bwas taken Ctaken Dbeen taken答案C解析taken in my classroom为过去分词短语作定语，修饰photo，表示被动和完成。A项为现在分词，现在分词作定语时表示与被修饰的名词之间为主动关系，并且表示动作正在进行；B项为谓语动词，显然是错误的；没有D项这一形式。5The flowers sweet in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature.Ato smell
28、 BsmellingCsmelt Dto be smelt答案B解析从选项的设置来看，本题考查不定式与分词作定语的区别。分析题干可知，句中的smell为系动词，后跟形容词作表语，故不能用被动形式，所以先排除C、D两项；主语the flowers与非谓语动词之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，且强调目前的状态，因此答案为B项。6In the past，most kids took a lunch to the school if they lived far.Abeing packed Bhaving packedCpacking Dpacked答案D解析being packed表示一个被动的动作正在进行；
29、having packed为现在分词的完成式，主要用作状语，表示在谓语所表示的动作之前所发生的动作，不能作定语；packing表示一个主动的动作正在进行；packed表示一个被动的动作，并且该动作已完成。因被修饰的名词lunch与分词之间为被动关系且表完成，故只能用过去分词形式。7The prize of the game show is $30,000 and an allexpenses vacation to China.Apaying BpaidCto be paid Dbeing paid答案B解析paid是过去分词形式，与expenses是被动关系，allexpensespaid作

31、y really want to do.Abeing called Bhaving calledCcalling Dcalled答案D解析根据句子结构分析，空格处应是定语，修饰前面的programme，表示被动关系。A项虽是被动形式，但它表示动作正在进行；B项和C项表主动意义。句意为：一个叫做“Heart to Heart”的电视节目邀请观众说出他们真正想做的事情。10Scientists think that the continents always where they .Aarent；are Barent；wereCwerent；are Dwerent；were答案C解析本题考查一般过
32、去时和一般现在时的区别。第一空是指过去的状态用一般过去时；第二空是指现在的状态用一般现在时。句意为：科学家们认为大陆过去并不一直是在现在所处的位置。11It is said that the early European playing cards for entertainment and education.Awere being designed Bhave designedChave been designed Dwere designed答案D解析句意为：据说，欧洲早期的扑克是为了娱乐和教育而制作的。此句要用一般过去时。12Could you tell me something ab
