Question

—We didn't find the Blacks ________ the lecture.

—No one had told him about ________ a lecture the following day.

A．to attend；there to be B．attending；there being

C．attended；there be D．attend；there was

 

Answer 1

B

【解析】第一空動詞attend為及物動詞，表主動，根據(jù)感覺動詞find所跟復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，不可使用to attend，過去分詞attended表被動，意義也不成立，可選用attending或attend，但根據(jù)句意，此處強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài)，故attending現(xiàn)在分詞為最佳選項；第二空介詞about后應(yīng)使用動名詞形式there being。
