1.With the couple in a nearby town, the house seems pretty empty most of the time.
A．work B．to work
C．working D．worked
【答案】C
【解析】考查with复合结构。work 和其逻辑主语the couple是主谓关系，表示现在的状况，所以用现在分词表主动。句意为：这对夫妻在附近镇上上班，（他们的）房子大部分时间都是空荡荡的。
2. John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work ________, he gladly accepted it.
