Though____ with housework all day long, Julia managed to spare some time to learn Chinese A．occupying B．occupied C．being occupied D．occupy

Answer 1

B

试题分析：考查形容词用法。固定搭配occupy oneself with sth使某人忙于sth；转换成形容词短语be occupied with sth；本题中的occupied with…是一个形容词短语。句意：尽管整体忙于家务，Julia仍然设法抽出时间来学习中文。故B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。
