Question

【題目】George returned after the war, only _______ that his wife had left him.
A.to be told
B.telling
C.being told
D.told

Answer 1

【答案】A
【解析】句意：?jiǎn)讨螒?zhàn)爭(zhēng)后回到家，結(jié)果被告知妻子已經(jīng)離開了。此處only to do/be done表示意料之外的結(jié)果；現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語則表示自然的結(jié)果。這里George和tell之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此用to be told。故選A。
