1. (2011年高考湖南卷)The ability________an idea is as important as the idea itself.
A.expressing B.expressed
C.to express D.to be expressed
解析:考查在特定语境中使用非谓语动词作定语的能力。句意:表达观点的能力与观点本身同等重要。“做某事的能力”应该表达为“the ability to do sth.”故选C项。
答案:C
2.(2012年高考湖南卷) We've had a good start,but next,more work needs ________ to achieve the final success.
A.being done B.do
C.to be done D.to do
解析:句意:我们已经有了一个很好的开始,但是为了取得最后的成功,接下来会有更多的工作需要做。考查非谓语动词。more work与do之间为逻辑上的被动关系,动词need后加不定式的被动式(to be done)或动名词的主动式(doing)表示被动。故答案为C项。
答案:C
