问题描述:

____________and short of breath ,Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of Mount Tai .
____________and short of breath ,Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of Mount Tai .
A、To be tried B、Tired C、 Tiring D、Being tired
为什么,A和D不行?

是语境的原因,题干里说Andy and Ruby经过短暂的休息之后,第一个到达了泰山顶.所以应该选B.而A的意思是将要短暂的休息,D的意思是正在短暂的休息,都于语义不符.
