3、he proverb _ “Where there is a will, there is a way” is valued much by us.A. goes B. going C.reads D.says答案:B解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,“The proverb is valued much by us.”是句子主干, “_ Where there is a will, there is a way”做“proverb”后置定语,所以本题考查的是非谓语动词作后置定语。选项中只有B项going(现在分词)是非谓语动词,其余为谓语动词。23. poverty, wars tho

8、e _ on the Internet.A. flexible B. brilliant C. conventional D. Available答案:D解析:考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,and前后连接的是两个接连发生的动作(“said”和“walked”),因此本题考查的是非谓语动词,故正确答案是A,现在分词做伴随状语,表分词动作(turned)伴随主句动作(walked)发生。B项把原句and放在第二个逗号后,前后连接三个接连发生动作,才可以选;C项从时态上可以排除;D项不定式表将来或目的,不合语境。31.
