試題分析：句意:你聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)嗎？消防戰(zhàn)士沖進(jìn)燃燒的房子，其中的三人不幸被困住了，失去了生命。這里是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，three of them與catch是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去分詞；three of them與lose之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞，故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題難度適中。獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)是高中的難點(diǎn)，近幾年考得次數(shù)較少，需要考生有分析理解復(fù)雜的句子結(jié)構(gòu)的能力，還必須能夠理解句意。
即學(xué)即練：The thief fell to the ground, his left foot _____ and blood _____ down from his mouth.
A. breaking; running      B. broken; running
C. breaking; run               D. broken; run
解析：B。句意：考查獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。foot和break之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，blood和run是主動(dòng)關(guān)系。
