______ to reach them on the phone, we sent an email instead.
A.FailB.Failed
C.To failD.Having failed
D

试题分析:考查分词做状语。本题的动词fail与句子主语we之间构成主动关系,且没有打通电话发生在发邮件之前,故使用现在分词的完成式。句意:因为没有打通他们的电话,我们就发了一封邮件。故D正确。
点评:当分词做状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词做状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。
