D．having marked

Answer 1

B

解析試題分析：A不定式放句后，表示出人意料的結(jié)果：B 現(xiàn)在分詞做結(jié)果狀語，表示自然帶來的一種結(jié)果；C marked做謂語沒連詞，如是分詞則與主語是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，語法錯(cuò)誤；D現(xiàn)在分詞完成時(shí)表示動(dòng)作先于主句動(dòng)作發(fā)出，句意：“憤怒的小鳥”的制作人在周二宣布它將在上海開始它的第一個(gè)海外合作項(xiàng)目，標(biāo)志著明顯向繁榮的中國(guó)市場(chǎng)邁進(jìn)的一步。所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
