题目解答
答案
本题考察分词作后置定语的用法。主句为"These changes mean..."，空格处需修饰"These changes"。
- A项"combine with"会导致主句出现双谓语，不符合语法。
- B项"combines with"与主语"These changes"不一致，排除。
- C项"which is combined with"表被动，与语境不符。
- D项"combined with"表"与……结合"，作后置定语，最符合句意。
完整句子为：
"These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others."
答案：D. combined with
解析
本题主要考查分词作后置定语的用法。解题的关键在于分析句子结构，确定空格处的成分是用来修饰“These changes”的，并且要结合语法规则和语境来判断各个选项的正确性。
- 对于选项A：“combine with”是动词原形形式。如果选择A，句子中“These changes”后面就会同时出现“combine with”和“mean”两个谓语动词，这不符合英语句子一个主语通常只能对应一个谓语动词（除非有连词连接）的语法规则，所以A选项错误。
- 对于选项B：“combines with”是第三人称单数形式。而句子的主语是“These changes”，是复数形式，主谓不一致，所以B选项错误。
- 对于选项C：“which is combined with”是一个非限定性定语从句，“is combined with”表示被动。但在这个语境中，“changes”和“a natural desire”是主动结合的关系，并非被动，所以C选项不符合语境。
- 对于选项D：“combined with”是过去分词形式，在这里作后置定语，用来修饰“These changes”，表示“与……结合”，符合句子的语法和语义要求。完整句子 “These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others.” 表达的意思是“这些变化，与一种被他人接受的自然渴望相结合，意味着人们很容易将自己与他人进行比较”。
