B.tobuild

C.built

D.beingbuilt參考答案：C【考點(diǎn)】考察分詞做定語本句中的動(dòng)詞build與名詞thehouse構(gòu)成邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故使用過去分詞在句中做定語。他們想要山腳下的房子被修建成一種看起來很漂亮的樣子。本題AB兩項(xiàng)表示的都是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，D項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在分詞的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，表示正在進(jìn)行。本題并不表示正在進(jìn)行。故C正確?！九e一反三】Forbreakfastheonlydrinksjuicefromfreshfruit_____onhisownfarm.

A.grown

B.beinggrown

C.tobegrown

D.togrow〖答案〗A〖考點(diǎn)〗考察非謂語動(dòng)詞〖解析〗早餐他只喝在自己農(nóng)莊種植出來的新鮮水果的果汁。水果成熟了才會(huì)拿來做果汁,因此用過去分詞作后置定語,表示已經(jīng)完成及被動(dòng)的意思。答案A。24.The_____lookonhisfacesuggestedthathe_____itbefore.A.surprising;wouldn'tknow
