Question

The big concert,      to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia, worked out very well.

A．being meant

B．meaning

C．meant

D．had meant

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考察形容词固定搭配。本题的meant是动词mean的过去分词转换的形容词。固定搭配be meant to do sth旨在于做某事；本题指的形容词短语meant to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia用来修饰主语the big concernt。相当于which was meant to raise money for the victims of the hurricane in Australia.句意：旨在于为澳大利亚的飓风受害者筹集资金的音乐会最后的结果非常好。故C正确。
点评：由分词转换成的形容词用法是考查较多的内容。过去分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰人或者与人有关的事物如look, appearance；现在分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰事物。这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或者定语修饰名词，也可以在句中构成形容词短语对主句的情况进行说明。
