A．consisting of

B．consisted of

C．making up of

D．made up

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：价格系统是一个复杂的网络，它包括经济方面所有被买进和售出的产品的价格以及大量服务项目的价格。consisting of包含，包括；这里network与consist是主动关系，consist of 没有被动； those＝the＋复数名词，代指the prices。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。题目的设置注重了情景化和结构复杂化，加大了考生对题干句的理解难度。
即学即练：Dinosaurs have completely died out on the earth，never _________ again.
A. to be seen                    B. being seen
C. seen                          D. having been seen
解析：A。不定式短语作结果状语的用法。never to be seen again，意为：结果再也没有人见过。
