题目

________ and short of breath, Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of Mount Tai. A. To be tried B. Tired C. Tiring D. Being tired 答案:B 解析: 首先要注意tired与tiring的意思有区别:前者表示“感到疲劳的”,后者表示“令人疲劳的”或“累人的”,根据句意,显然不宜用tiring,故可排除C;由于是与形容词短语short of breath相并列,所以应选形容词tired。句意为:虽然累得上气不接下气,但安迪和鲁比是最先到达泰山山项的。
