3. The little boy still needs the ______ 20 dollars to do with some things ______.
A. remaining; remained to be settled
B. remaining; remaining to be settled
C. remained; remained to settle
D. remained; remaining to settle
答案及解析:
1、D There being no rain为 there be句型的独立主格形式。
2、B 由and连接的两个单数名词作主语时,一般用复数形式,但and所连接的并列主语是同一个人,事物,或概念时,谓语动词用单数。这两种情况区分如下:a/the+单数名词+and+单数名词,指的是同一个人或物;a/the+单数名词+and+ a/the+单数名词,指两个人或物。
3、B 第一个remaining用作形容词,作“剩下的”解;第二个remaining to be settled是-ing形式短语作定语。
