问题描述:

About two weeks ago an earthquake ________ 8.6 on the Richter scale struck the coast ofIndonesia leaving residents along coastlines ________ to high ground in panic.A.measuring fled B.measured fleeing C.measuring fleeing D.measured fled
我选的是B,为什么呢?

解释:
1. flee是不及物动词,不能用其过去分词来表示被动用法,排除AD;
2. measure做动词表示“度量为...”时,也是不及物动词,其后常加名词短语做状语(并非做其宾语).
同样,其过去分词形式也不能用于被动,排除B(measured表示earthquake和measure之间为被动关系).
类似用法的动词如weigh.
例:The elephant weighs 10 tons.
而不能说:The elephant is weighed 10 tons.
3. 综上所述,答案C为正解.
