A. are exhibiting B. is exhibiting C. are being exhibited D. is being exhibited
【答案】C。
【考点】考查主语一致和动词语态。
【解析】由于“天津传统民间艺术”与“展览”之间为被动关系,故应用被动语态,由此可排除A和B;另外,从表面上看,空格前的traditional folk arts of Tianjin like paper cutting都是主语,但严格说来,真正的主语是arts,其中的traditional folk, of Tianjin和like paper cutting均为修饰主语的定语。所以其后谓语要与arts保持一致,故要用复数,也就是选C。

A. caused B. having caused C. causing D. to cause
【答案】C。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】从句法上分析,空格后的名词是动词cause的宾语,所以空格处不能填过去分词,故可排除A;另外,由于rained用的是过去式,说明“下雨”已经发生了,这说明导致洪水也应发生了,所以不宜选表示将来意义不定式,故可排除D;至于B,从逻辑上看,应该是先下雨,后涨洪水,而having caused为现在分词的完成式,这表明它发生在rained之前,这显然不合情理,故也可排除。
