问题补充:
(·山东高考)George returned after the war, only that his wife had left him.
A. to be told
B. telling
C. being told
D. told
答案:
(答案→)A. to be told
B. telling
C. being told
D. told
解析:选A考查非谓语动词。句意:乔治战争后回到家,结果被告知妻子已经离开了他。此处是动词不定式作结果状语,表示意料之外的结果,而且George和tell之间是被动关系,因此用to be told。如果用动词ing形式,则表示意料之中的结果。
