Question

Many people stood outside the manager’s office, nervously waiting _________    for the job.

A．to choose

B．being chosen

C．choosing

D．to be chosen

Answer 1

D

试题分析：句意：许多人站在经理办公室的外面，焦急地等着被录用。这里many people与choose之间是被动关系,动词不定式表目的，故排除ABC,故选D。
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。这里需会分析动词chose与逻辑主语的关系。
即学即练：Having been attacked by terrorists, ________ .
A. doctors came to their rescue           B. the tall building collapsed
C. an emergency measure was taken         D. warnings were given to tourists
解析：B。非谓语动词作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子主语一致。根据句意，受到攻击的应是“高楼”，而不是其他，故选B。
