Question

______ and out of breath, we reached the top of the mountain and stopped _____ the beautiful scenery.

A．Tiring, to admire	B．Being tired, admiring
C．Tired, to admire	D．Tired, admiring

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查形容词用法和固定词组。固定词组stop to do sth停下来做另外一件事情；stop doing sth停止做某事；第一空的形容词是对句子的主语情况进行的说明。句意：很累而且上气不接下气，我们到达了山顶，停下来欣赏美丽的风景。故C正确。
点评：固定词组stop to do sth停下来做另外一件事情；stop doing sth停止做某事；另外要注意：过去分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰人或者与人有关的事物如look, appearance；现在分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰事物。这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或者定语修饰名词，也可以在句中构成形容词短语对主句的情况进行说明。
