Question

（2014重庆一中高三下第三次月考）8. — What’s up?
— There are so many problems _____.

A. remained to be solved	B. remaining to solve
C. remained solving	D. remaining to be solved

【考点】考察动词remain的用法

Answer 1

D

动词remain仍然，保持；它的现在分词remaining可以转换成形容词，意为“留下，剩下”；单独使用时通常放在所修饰的名词的前面。如果是一个短语要放在所修饰的名词的后面；还构成另外一个固定搭配sth remain to be done某事有待于被做。本句中的形容词短语remaining to be solved作为定语修饰名词many problems，意为是一个短语，所以要放在后面。句义：—怎么了？—还有很多有待于被解决的问题。故D正确。
