The witnesses ______ by the police just now gave very different descriptions of the fight.
A. questioned
B. being questioned
C. to be questioned
D. having questioned
题目解答
答案
A. questioned
解析
本题考查过去分词作定语的用法。解题关键在于:
- 判断动词与被修饰名词的关系:witnesses与question之间是被动关系;
- 确定动作的时间:时间状语just now表明动作已完成;
- 排除干扰项:注意区分现在分词、不定式、现在分词完成式作定语的区别。
选项分析
- A. questioned:过去分词作定语,表示被动和完成的动作(证人被警察询问,动作已发生)。
- B. being questioned:现在分词进行式,表示动作正在发生,与时间状语just now矛盾。
- C. to be questioned:不定式表示将来动作,与时间状语不符。
- D. having questioned:现在分词完成式表示主动完成,但此处应为被动关系。
关键结论
过去分词作定语时,表示被动和完成的动作,符合题干中“被警察询问”且动作已完成的语境。
