1．(2014·琼海高一检测) The decision ________， what is to be done now is how to carry it out.
A．is made B．has been made
C．having been made D．having made
答案：C 考查独立主格结构。句意：决定已经做出，我们现在所要做的就是如何实施它。题干中逗号前缺少状语，根据题干前后整体看，空白处不可能为句子，the decision与make之间是被动关系，the decision having been made符合句意。
2．He sat on a chair under the shade of the tree, ________ a novel.
A．read B．to read
C．reading D．read
答案：C 句意：他坐在树荫下的椅子上看小说。句子的主语he与read之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。故选C。
3．(2014·石家庄高一检测) After graduation from college, he began to go from city to city, ________ a suitable job.
A．hunting for B．carrying on
