3.The lecture,________ at 7:00 p.m. last night,was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.
A.being started B.starting
C.to start D.to be started
答案 B [本题考查非谓语动词。句意:报告于昨晚七点开始,报告之后便是用望远镜观察月球。题干中已出现谓语动词was followed,又没有连词的情况下,空格中要填的是非谓语形式,而且start用在不及物动词,和主语the lecture是主动关系,所以要用现在分词,相当一个定语从句:which started at 7:00 p.st night。being started为现在分词的被动式,做定语只能表示正在进行的动作或和谓语动词同时进行的行为。不定式作定语表将来,与语境不符。]
