有关英语高考单选题
请教单选题:it is said that to buy a house _______ more than 140 square is taxed more .
A,measuring B,measured
这题为什么选A?

你好, measure在这里看做系动词,没有被动结构.
这句话的意思是 据说买一个超出140平米的房子要付更多的税. measuring more than 140 square 做后置定语修饰前面的名词house,measure的意思是 量起来是.,用法和look,sound,taste很接近,充当了系动词.
比如 The soup tastes delicious.
The room measures 120 square.
