试题答案

答案:A

提示:

本题考查现在分词和过去分词的区别。英语中有不少成对出现的分词,如:tiring,tired;boring,bored;interesting,interested;exciting,excited;puzzling,puzzled等,这时现在分词一般修饰或说明某事或某物怎么样,而过去分词则修饰或说明某人感觉怎么样。题干的意思是“史密斯先生对这种枯燥的讲话已感到不耐烦,他开始读起小说来”。某人感到厌烦应用tired;讲话很枯燥应用boring。又如:I think that football is boring. /I amtired of traveling in a rainy season.
