Question

______ and short of breath, Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of Mount Tai.

A．To be tried

B．Tired

C．Tiring

D．Being tired

Answer 1

B

該句的意思是：盡管累并且喘不過來氣，但是Andy and Ruby是最早到達泰山山頂?shù)娜恕Ｐ稳菰~可以作狀語表示伴隨，原因或讓步等關(guān)系。在該題中形容詞作狀語是表示讓步的，可以恢復為though they were tired and short of breath，然后在進行省略。該題容易誤選D。要注意的是形容詞作狀語時其前不能加being。
