A. flooding B. to flood C. flood D. flooded
【答案】A。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】此题考查come后接现在分词的用法。come doing有两个主要用法：一是表示与go doing方向相反的动，二是表示“来”的方式。如：Why don’t you come ice-skating tonight? 今晚来溜冰好吗? She came running into the room. 她跑进屋来。
23. They’ve won their last three matches, ________ I find a bit surprising. (2009辽宁卷)
A. that B. when C. what D. which
【答案】D。
【考点】考查定语从句的用法。
【解析】that不用于引导非限制性定语从句，故被排除；when可用引导非限制性定语从句，但只用于指时间，与句意不符，故也被排除；而what不是关系代词，不能用于引导定语从句，故也被排除；which在此引导非限制性定语从句，并在定语从句中充当动词find的宾语。句意为：他们赢了最后三场比赛，我发现这有点令人吃惊。
24. Excuse me, Marcia, a reporter from Vanity Fair ________ all day. Could you speak to her now? (2009辽宁卷)

【答案】C。
【考点】考查动词时态的用法。
【解析】C。根据句中的时间状语all day和谓语动词phone的特点（为非延续性动词）可知，句子应用进行时态（表示动作不断重复），而选项中只有C为现在完成进行时。句意为：玛西娅，打搅你一下，有名来自《名利场》的记者一整天都在打电话来，你现在能和他说说吗？又如：She is very tired. She’s been typing letters all day. 她很累了。她整天都在打信件。

【解析】while在此表示对比，其意为“而”，这样用的while通常用于两个待比较的句子之间，如：I went swimming while the others played tennis. 我去游泳，而其余的人则去打网球了。但有时也可置于第一个分句之前，如：While most children learn to read easily, some need extra help. 大多数儿童学会阅读很容易，有一些儿童却需要特别帮助。

A. have left B. leave C. left D. will leave
