________ the severe damage caused by the earthquake in Sichuan on April 20 th , 2013, people in the earthquake-stricken areas show great courage and determination. A．Faced with B．Faced C．Facing with D．Face

Answer 1

A

试题分析：考察形容词用法。固定搭配be faced with…面对着…；本短语是由face…with…转换而来。句中的形容词短语faced with…是对后面句子的主语people的情况进行的说明。句意：面临着地震多带来的巨大的破坏，在地震袭击地区的人表现出了巨大的勇气和决心。故A正确。 点评：由分词转换成的形容词用法是考查较多的内容。过去分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰人或者与人有关的事物如look, appearance；现在分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰事物。这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或者定语修饰名词，也可以在句中构成形容词短语对主句的情况进行说明。
