Question

There was an oil painting _______ in the corner. It _______ there for several days.

A．laying; had laid

B．lain; had laid

C．lying; had lain

D．laid; had been lain

Answer 1

C

試題分析：考查分詞做定語。第一空中的動詞lie與an oil painting構(gòu)成主動關(guān)系，故使用現(xiàn)在分詞短語lying in the corner修飾an oil painting。第二空根據(jù)句意說明使用過去完成時，lie（位于，躺）是一個不規(guī)則動詞，過去式和過去分詞為(lay, lain)；故C正確。
點(diǎn)評：當(dāng)分詞做定語的時候，如果構(gòu)成分詞的動詞與名詞構(gòu)成主動關(guān)系，就使用現(xiàn)在分詞做定語；當(dāng)二者構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，使用過去分詞做定語。單獨(dú)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。
