單項(xiàng)填空
①This book is worthy of twice .(2009·12·江蘇南京月考)
A. Reading B. read
C. having read D. being read
②He is well skilled playing the piano, so his music is worth . (2009·12·山東煙臺(tái)模塊檢測(cè))
A. with; listening B. with; listening to
C. in; listening D. in; listening to
解析： ①選D。 be worthy 后可以用不定式的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)或of being done結(jié)構(gòu)，而worth后用動(dòng)名詞的主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)表達(dá)被動(dòng)概念。
②選D。be skilled in也可以用be skilled at后跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞表示，意思是“在……方面熟練的;在……方面有能力的”。worth意思是“值得”,后跟動(dòng)名詞的主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)表達(dá)被動(dòng)概念。在句中，music作listen to的邏輯賓語(yǔ)，而listen為不及物動(dòng)詞，因此to不可以去掉。
