(2012·山东高考)George returned after the war, only ________ that his wife had left him.
A.to be toldB.telling
C.being toldD.told
A
选A 考查非谓语动词。句意:乔治战争后回到家,结果被告知妻子已经离开了他。此处是动词不定式作结果状语,表示意料之外的结果,而且George和tell之间是被动关系,因此用to be told。如果用动词­ing形式,则表示意料之中的结果。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. ____小题1:____ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. ____小题2:____ One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. ____小题3:____, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means––practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? ____小题4:____ Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
____小题5:____, learn from the poor: practice remembering.
A.What do you think of it?
B.Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.
C.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory
D.So if you want a good memory
E. When someone else says that he is poor in the health
F. Why is this?
G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.
