问一道英语题

_____, her heart was beating faster and faster.
A、 listening to the coming footsteps
B、As she listened to the coming footsteps
C、When listening to the coming footsteps
D、To the coming footsteps as she listened

Answer 1

选B、As she listened to the coming footsteps

1.As she listened to the coming footsteps， her heart was beating faster and faster.
as 在这里的意思是“当.....的时候”
当她听着越来越靠近的脚步声时，她的心越跳越快。
这里的as 引导的是一个时间状语从句，主句放在了后面-----her heart was beating faster and faster.
调整一下句子顺序，可以表述为
Her heart was beating faster and faster as she listened to the coming footsteps.
这时候主句是 Her heart was beating faster and faster ，主语是her heart

2.A不能选的原因是， listening to the coming footsteps是现在分词形式做状语，有主动的意味，主语应该是人，如 Listening to the coming footsteps，she felt that her heart was beating faster and faster.
这时候主语是she，listen这个动作是她发出的，就没有问题了。

3.C不能选也是同理，when引导的时间状语从句，省略了she was
整个句子应该是
When （she was)listening to the coming footsteps,she felt that her heart was beating faster and faster.

主要还是看动作的发出是主动还是被动，这里因为主语是her heart，就不能用listening了，因为是人 ，也就是she was listening to....
