答案解析
正确答案:A
解析:
这是一道典型的英语语法填空题,考查的是介词后接动词形式的用法。以下是针对第2空的详细解析:
**正确答案:A. living**
**解析步骤:**
1. **定位考点**:
题目所在的句子是:“Sometimes you can get a bit bored of ____2____ in a tree house.”
这里的关键结构是 `bored of`。
2. **语法规则分析**:
* 在英语中,`of` 是一个**介词**(preposition)。
* 根据英语语法规则,介词后面如果跟动词,该动词必须使用**动名词形式**(Gerund),即 `V-ing` 形式。
* 固定搭配 `be/get bored of doing something` 意为“对做某事感到厌烦”。
3. **选项排查**:
* **A. living**:这是动词 live 的动名词/现在分词形式。符合“介词 of + V-ing”的规则。
* **B. live**:这是动词原形。介词后不能直接跟动词原形。
* **C. to live**:这是动词不定式。虽然有些形容词后接不定式(如 happy to do),但在介词 of 之后,通常不接不定式,而是接动名词。
4. **句意理解**:
整句话的意思是:“有时候,你可能会对**住在**树屋里感到有点无聊。”
使用 `living` 准确表达了“居住”这一持续性的状态或行为作为 `bored of` 的对象。
**总结:**
因为空前是介词 `of`,所以空处必须填动名词 `living`。故选 **A**。
