Question

The big concert,      to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia, worked out very well.

A．being meant

B．meaning

C．meant

D．had meant

Answer 1

C

試題分析：考察形容詞固定搭配。本題的meant是動詞mean的過去分詞轉換的形容詞。固定搭配be meant to do sth旨在于做某事；本題指的形容詞短語meant to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia用來修飾主語the big concernt。相當于which was meant to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia.句意：旨在于為澳大利亞的颶風受害者籌集資金的音樂會最后的結果非常好。故C正確。
點評：由分詞轉換成的形容詞用法是考查較多的內容。過去分詞轉換的形容詞常常用來修飾人或者與人有關的事物如look, appearance；現在分詞轉換的形容詞常常用來修飾事物。這樣的形容詞經常在句中做表語或者定語修飾名詞，也可以在句中構成形容詞短語對主句的情況進行說明。
