正確答案:選B. sounds exciting
即:The news he told us sounds exciting, do you think so?
翻譯:他告訴我們的消息聽起來很激動,妳這樣想的嗎?
解析:首先,news,新聞,消息是不可數名詞,這壹點有些同學可能會被迷惑,因為news 是以s結尾的單詞,誤認為是復數形式,其它它是壹個不可數名詞,沒有復數形式,永遠都是單數形式;另外,excited 與 exciting 都是形容詞,並且都是從 excite 變化而來的。在句子中都可以用作定語或表語,但它們的意思和在句中的用法有差異。 excited 意為興奮的,壹般修飾人;而 exciting 意為令人感到興奮的,壹般修飾物。簡單說也就是物作主語(修飾物時)用ing結尾的,人作主語(修飾人時)用ed結尾的,其它的詞也是這樣,如interesting, interested;surprising, surprised;amazing, amazed等都是這樣的。
例如:
1 ) Was it an exciting match ?
2 ) Are you excited about going to Beijing ?
3 ) Look ! The excited reader is coming .
4 ) That film is exciting .
二、像這樣表示情感、情緒的詞很多,只要稍加分析,就不難發現這樣的規律:帶 -ed 的詞表示人的感受,帶 -ing 的詞表示物的性質和狀態。例如:
1 ) My work is getting more interesting .
2 ) He learnt very fast and became very interested in science .
3 ) Miss Wang was very pleased with their performance .
4 ) It was a boring match .
5 ) That is amazing !
6 ) He was amazed at all the colours , and all the beautiful fish .
從上面的例句可知,帶有 -ed 和 -ing 的詞在句子中出現頻率很高,但在考試中,學生們常常容易做錯。其實,它們的用法和 excited , exciting 的用法壹樣,若修飾人,就用
-ed 形式的詞,若修飾物就用 -ing 形式的詞。
