英语选择题，选什么，为什么

_No one had told them about ____ a lecture the following day
A.attending; there being B.to attend;there to be
C.attended; there be D.attend; there was
题目错了打错了
-we didn't find the Blacks ___ the lecture.
_No one had told them about ____ a lecture the following day

Answer 1

-- We didn't find the Blacks _____ the lecture.
--No one had told them about _______ a lecture the following day.
A. attending; there being B. to attend; there to be
C. attended; there be D. attend; there was
答：A
译：我们没发现布莱克夫妇去听讲座。
关于第二天有个讲座的事，没人告诉过他们。
析： find sb. doing sth.发现某人做某事。 about后跟名词作宾语，只有there being...可以看作是一个特别的动名词短语。
评：这题出得欠佳。一是两个空八个选择没有一个重合，只要能确定一空就能排除三个，缺少干扰项。题句明显是人工造句，脱离生活,为出考题生造句。口语中回答：No one had told them that there would be a lecture the following day. 已经够文的了，用there being ...这种书面得很的语言，与对话题不符。第一句用We didn't find sb. in the lecture也比那个好。

Answer 2

选A
find不是使意动词不能直接加动词原形，因此attending做后置定语，
about是介词，后面用动词动名次形式

Answer 3

A项，因为Blacks是黑人吧，句意应该为我们找不到有黑人参加演讲，因为句子已经有动词find所以attend为非谓语，又因为黑人是人所以用主动即ing形式，用排除法所以选A

Answer 4

选a
空一 ：attend做非谓语，考虑到attend 与the Blacks 是主动关系，用attending
空二 ：用there to be 或 there being将 ____ a lecture the following day
名词化,但B 项已排除
注：the Blacks 应该是指布莱克一家，而不是黑人，不然不会大写的。

Answer 5

A find 后面只能接doing或done，about 后面跟一个动名词形式

Answer 6

选A.发现某人做某事用find sb.doing sth.
about 是介词，后面应该用 -ing形式。
