Question

My brother bought a teapot ________ like a Chinese duck, the price of which was much lower than expected.

A．shaping

B．being shaped

C．to be shaped

D．shaped

Answer 1

D

試題分析：考察分詞做定語。本題中的動詞shape使…成形；構成固定搭配shape sth like…；把sth弄成…的樣子；如何轉換成be shaped like…形狀像…一樣；本句在shaped like…前面省略了which is。句意：我的兄弟買了一只茶壺，形狀很像鴨子。價格要比預料更低一點。故D正確。
點評：很多情況下分詞都轉換成形容詞來修飾名詞。當分詞做定語的時候，如果構成分詞的動詞與名詞構成主動關系，就使用現(xiàn)在分詞做定語；當二者構成被動關系，使用過去分詞做定語。單獨的一個分詞做定語要放在名詞的前面，分詞短語做定語要放在分詞的后面。
