答案应是 measuring。由于此处的 measure 为连系动词,没有被动式,故可排除A和D。而比较剩下的A 和 C,显然此处应用现在分词表示状态较为合适。

没有查到大写的 P.5 或 P5,但是查到了大写的 Page 5:the diagram on Page 5 第5页上的图表(《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》on词条)但我想,既然可以用大写的 Page 5,那么用大写的 P.5 以及 P5 也应是顺理成章的事。因为后者只是前者的略写而已。

凡是表示“完全”的副词都可修饰by accident。比如英语不仅可以说quite by accident, completely by accident,而且可以说entirely by accident,purely by accident等。如:Helen got into acting purely by accident. 海伦进入演艺界纯属偶然。We met each other again completely by accident. 我们再次相遇,...

▲若只是一般地“叫(或请)某人做某事”,英语不用call sb to do sth,可根据情况使用ask [tell] sb to do sth等,但可以用call on / upon sb to do sth,该结构有两个含义,一是表示“叫(请)某人做某事”,二是表示“号召某人做某事”。如:The boss called on me to wait for him. 老板叫我等他。The Party called on us to stu...

动词 cancel 后面好像通常不接动词的(即既不接不定式也不接动名词),遇此情况可以考虑改用其他相关表达,如give up going on a trip to the seaside,若一定要用cancel,可用cancel the trip to the seaside。

没错,答案就是would have got lost,不能是had got lost或would get lost。请注意句中的without which,它隐含有一个条件,相当于if we hadn’t had a map。这里的主句和从句谓语之所以分别用would have got lost和hadn’t had,是因为前面的句子Fortunately we had a map用的是一般过去时,说明这里是针对过去情况作假设。...

for reasons that并不引导从句,但其中的 that 引导一个定语从句,修饰 reasons,同时that在定语从句中用作主语。整个的for reasons that…其实是一个介词短语,表示“原因”。又如:Official policy has changed, for reasons that remain obscure. 官方的政策已改变,原因尚不清楚。原句意为:Flight delays do occur, for r...
