9、d of his time.A. Sounding B. SoundedC. To sound D. Having been sounded答案与解析A句意:因为听起来很抽象,所以伽利略的理论在他那个时代是非常难懂的。the theory与表示感官的动词sound是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。12_ enough money, Jim was unable to buy his girlfriend expensive jewellery.A. Not to save B. Not savingC. Not saved D. Not having saved答案与解析D考查非谓语动词。句意
10、:因为没有攒够足够的钱,吉姆不能给他女朋友买昂贵的珠宝。根据句意,save与其逻辑主语Jim之间是主谓关系且这个动作发生在was unable to buy之前,故用现在分词的完成式。13_ herself to listening to music, the girl cared little about any other things.A. Devoting B. DevotedC. Having devoted D. To devote答案与解析A考查非谓语动词。句意:沉浸在音乐中,这个女孩很少关心其他事情。devote oneself to“致力于;献身于;专心于”;本句也可以用be
11、 devoted to表达。故选A项。14_ his crazy behaviour, the killer quietly waited for the police instead of running away.A. To finish B. Have finishedC. Having finished D. To have finished答案与解析C考查非谓语动词。句意:结束了他的疯狂行为之后,那个杀手没有逃跑而是平静地等着警察到来。此处非谓语动词表示的动作与其逻辑主语之间是主动关系,又因该动作先于谓语动词表示的动作发生,故使用现在分词的完成式。15A primary school
12、 in south Germany encourages pupils to chew gum in class, _ that it helps the children concentrate and deal with stress.A. having said B. saysC. to say D. saying答案与解析D考查非谓语动词。本空动词say与谓语动词之间没有连词连接,因此用非谓语动词形式,这里动词say与句子主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,用现在分词一般式进行补充说明。句意:德国南部一所小学鼓励学生上课时嚼口香糖,说这能帮助学生集中注意力,应对压力。.完形填空Although I
