C. Having been shown
D. To show

3.The maths problems is very difficult, for they have tired -------.
A. every means possible
B. every mean possible
C. possible every means
D. every possible means

Answer 1

1.B.分析：A great many+可数名词复数；Large quantities of 后既可接可数名词复数也可接不可数名词，但请注意此处后面的progresses是复数，而has却是单数。A large number of后只接可数名词复数。
2.C.分析：正确使用分词、动名词和不定式做状语的先决条件是它们的逻辑主语即意义上的主语必须是句子的主语（做评价性状语的不定式和垂悬分词，独立结构除外），此句中即we做分词或不定式的逻辑主语。因为不定式置于句首主要用作目的状语，故排除B和D。在A、C之中，B使用了被动式，意为“（我们）被领着参观了‘水立方’之后，”，所以正确答案是C。
3.D.分析：此题考察形容词的排列顺序问题。every属于限定词，故排在首位，possible属于描述性形容词，而 means是一名词，意为“方式，方法”，注意它与mean完全不同。

Answer 2

1.B A deal of+不可数名词，故 has been 2.C Having been shown 是现在完成时的被动。having是动名词，作主语。 we were then taken to see the Bird's Nest for the 2008 Olympic Games. 也是被动。 3。means 是方法，故排除B，答案C.

Answer 3

1.B a great deal of 修饰不可数名词progress
2.C 分词短语作状语。因为参观是被带领，表示被动，用过去分词；且参观水立方在前，故用完成式。
3.D 考查形容词修饰中心词的排序问题。还有句中tired应为tried,打印错误。
