Question

Apple has given in to intense pressure from Chinese state media about its customer service practices, ________  to consumers in its second-largest market.

A．apologizing

B．apologize

C．having apologized

D．to apologize

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意： 面对中国官方媒体对其客户服务政策的巨大压力，苹果(Apple)屈服了，它向自己第二大市场上的消费者做出了道歉。这里是非谓语动词Apple与apologize之间是主动关系，give in与apologize之间是同时发生，或apologize在之后发生，故用分词故选A。
点评：本题难度适中。非谓语动词是高中阶段的重难点之一，内容多又杂，不容易理解，需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力。还要会判断其逻辑主语与非谓语动词之间的关系。
即学即练：________ little of each other’s language, so they have to express themselves with the aid of all interpreters.
A. Knowing                   B. Having known
C. That they know            D. They know
解析：D。此处考查分句间的关系，由于两句由so连接，所以不能选A项，前面应该是一个独立的分句，故选D项。
