2015～2011年各省市高考题(改编)
用括号内所给词的正确形式填空
1.(2015·江苏，24)Much time (spend)sitting at a desk, office workers are
generally troubled by health problems.
解析 句意：大部分时间坐办公桌，办公室职员通常被健康问题所困扰。time 与spend之间构成被动关系，另外该题实际考查了非谓语动词的独立主格结构。
答案 spent
2.(2015·湖南，30)When the clerk saw a kind face wrinkled in an apologetic smile, she
stood rooted to the ground, (wonder)whether to stay or leave.
解析 句意：当店员看到一张充满善意的脸上挂着满怀歉意的微笑时，她呆呆地站在原地，不知该走还是不走。wondering 是现在分词作伴随状语，修饰动词stood。
答案 wondering
3.(2015·湖南，34)Sometimes I act as a listening ear for fellow students
(talk)over what is bothering them.
解析 句意：有时候我充当同学们的倾诉对象，让他们通过倾诉释放心头的烦心事。for sb to do sth是不定式的复合结构，在句中作定语，修饰a listening ear。
答案 to talk
