1．(2019·无锡模拟)—Where is Jimmy?
—Just now I saw him sitting under the tree, ________ in his video games.
A．absorbed B．absorbing
C．to absorb D．absorb
解析：选A 考查非谓语动词。句意：“Jimmy在哪儿？”“我刚才看见他坐在树下，沉醉于视频游戏。”be absorbed in“专心于，沉醉于”，在句中作伴随状语，故选A项。
2．This policy, which used to be very successful, is a ________， though it no longer meets the needs of the current situation.
A．sacred cow B．Pandora's box
C．Mickey Mouse course D．good Samaritan
解析：选A 句意：这项过去非常成功的政策，尽管不再适应现状的需求，但仍然是不可动摇的。sacred cow“圣牛(印度教等的)；不可批评的人(思想或事物)”；Pandora's box“潘多拉盒子；灾难之源”；Mickey Mouse course“容易的课程”；good Samaritan“心地慈善的人，乐善好施的人”。
3．The new bridge under construction, ________ twice as long as the old one, is due to be completed next month.
A．measures B．measuring
C．measured D．to measure
解析：选B 句意：正在建造的新桥下月将竣工，其长度是旧桥的两倍。measure为不及物动词，故用现在分词measuring作定语，修饰bridge。
