   him to be not able

Answer 1

C
解析：
试题
分析：句意：大卫向我道歉因为没有通知我计划的变化。这里apologize for因为……而道歉，因为for介词后用动词，这里是动名词的复合结构的否定形式，not应该在动名词的前面，故选C。考点：考查非谓语动词的用法。
点评：本题难度适中。不容置疑，高考将继续加强对非谓语动词的考查，试题的特征将继续呈现出“情景化”和“设问角度的多样化”的趋势，但试题的难度将会有所控制。这里考生容易误选A。即学即练：There is a great deal of evidence _{____} that music activities engage different parts of the brain.A. indicate                     B. indicatingC. to indicate                  D. to be indicating解析：B。考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。现在分词indicating在句中作后置定语，修饰evidence，二者之间为主谓关系。
