Answer 1

16) B) holding
独立主格结构, his right hand 发出hold的动作,故用现在分词形式holding.
句意:老人费力地上楼,右手拄着拐杖以求支撑。

17) C)having been defeated
分词形式作原因状语, 因为defeat的动作发生的 decide 之前,
且与 the boxer 是被动关系,故用分词的完成被动式.
注: decide应为decided.
句意:接连被打败三次之后,拳击手决定放弃博斗.

18)A) Accused of
过去分词作原因状语,表示被动及完成了的动作.
句意:因为受到指控忽视我们的教育,所以父亲送我去上学.

19)D) Though remembered
过去分词作让步状语,相当于让步状语从句:
Though remembered mainly for the invention of the telephone
=Though he is remembered mainly for the invention of the telephone
句意:虽然阿历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔是因为发明了电话而被人们记住的,
但他一生都献身于帮助聋哑人.

20)A) Given
given+that从句,意思是"考虑到, 在...的情况下"
句意:虑到他们刚走出大学校园, 这些年轻人的工作已经算是做得很不错了.
