2、per, glanced at the man _ next to a woman.Apretending; seatedBpretended; seatedCpretending; seatDpretended; seatingA解析： 第一空是现在分词作非限制性定语， 修饰the detective, 二者之间为主动关系， 所以用现在分词； 第二空是过去分词作定语， 修饰the man, seat“使就座”， 所以用其过去分词形式。 3(2016启东中学考前辅导)Scientists have created the worlds smallest“snowman”， _about a f
3、ifth of the width of a human hair.Ameasures BmeasuringCmeasured Dto measureB解析： measure作“量度达” 讲时是不及物动词， 和被修饰词snowman之间构成主动关系， 所以选measuring作定语。 4At last, the boys found themselves _ in a pleasant park with trees providing shade.Ato sit BsatCsitting Dhaving satC解析：此处为现在分词作宾补， 宾语themselves和sit之间构成主动关系，
4、且强调进行，所以用其现在分词形式。5Love means you care about the _ of a person, that is, you hope he or she can lead a happy life. Aauthority BbeliefCpreference DwelfareD解析： authority权威， 权利； belief信仰， 相信； preference偏向， 优先权； welfare福利， 幸福； 根据you hope he or she can lead a happy life(你希望他或她能够过着幸福的生活)可知横线上应该填一个与此句对应的名词。

7、draw some of my savings out before Ive none in hand.Ahas run out Bis running outChas been run out Dis being running outB解析： 句意：我的钱快用光了， 在用完之前我得去银行取一些。 run out为不及物动词短语， 不能用于被动语态。 9He stood up, _ a cigarette and left the room.Alighting BlightedCto light DlitD解析： 这里表示的是三个连续的动作， 所以动词都用过去式形式， “点燃” 用作谓语时，
8、 过去式通常是lit, lighted通常作定语。 10(2016浙江慈溪高三调研)According to a recent survey, some TV programs should take _ for teenagers negative behavior.
