几道英语题，求解！！！

1.Something as simple as （ ）some cold water may clear your mind and relieve pressure.
A.to drink B.drinking C.to be drinking D.drunk
2.Lots of rescue workers were working around the clock,( )supplies to Yushu,Qinghai Province after the earthquake.
A.sending B.to send C.having sent D.to have sent
要说原因，谢谢！！

Answer 1

1，B
解析：as simple as 表示‘与····一样简单’一般结构为as simple as +名词或名词短语，显然这里是用动名词表示，drinking some cold water ‘喝些冷水’所以选B,
2，B
解析：从语义判断，Lots of rescue workers were working around the clock抢救人员在争分夺秒地工作，选B不定式结构表示目的，目的是为了提供帮助；若是A，现在分词做伴随状语，就没这种意思了，就成了强调动作是同时进行的。（而且伴随的动作一般比主句的动作要不重要些，）

Answer 2

B，动名词做主语，喝一点冷水，做后面AS从句的主语
B,援救人员与时间作斗争，是为了输送物资到玉树灾区。表示目的
