Question

Aluminum isn’t found free in nature, owing to its always ____ with other elements, most commonly with oxygen.

A．being combined	B．having combined
C．combine	D．combined

Answer 1

A

試題分析：combine …with…與……結(jié)合；這里owing to中的to是介詞，故它的后面應(yīng)跟動(dòng)名詞，這里是its+動(dòng)名詞也就是動(dòng)名詞的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。又因?yàn)閕ts與combine之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用being combined。句意：在自然界中發(fā)現(xiàn)的鋁不是自己存在的，因?yàn)殇X和其它元素結(jié)合在一起，通常情況下是和氧在一起。故選A。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題較難。不容置疑，高考將繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)對(duì)非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的考查，試題的特征將繼續(xù)呈現(xiàn)出“情景化”和“設(shè)問(wèn)角度的多樣化”的趨勢(shì)，但試題的難度將會(huì)有所控制。
