when she woke up in the hospital,she told the newspaper reporters that she was the only one____the shipwreck
A.surviving B. having survived C. to survive D. survived
答案是A ，为什么？

Answer 1

句意：

当她在医院里醒来，她告诉报纸记者她是沉船事故唯一的幸存者。

首先这句话里不缺少谓语动词，survive表示存活下来主语是人，也不能把survived理解为过去分词。先排除D。

动词不定式做后置定语时，一般表示“即将要做的事”，这里幸存下来已经是事实，所以排除C。

幸存下来是目前的一种状况，并没有强调这个动作（在另外一个动作之前）已经完成，所以排除B。

Answer 2

who survived 的另外一种形式，因为跟前面是主动关系所以用ing形式
