Question

"Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple,but it remains ______"
"Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple,but it remains ________ whether they will enjoy it．
A.to see
B.to be seen
C.seeing
D.seen"

Answer 1

答案B
该题考查非谓语动词的用法.根据句意和结构,后一个并列分句中的remain为系动词,意思是“留待”.前一个it为形式主语,真正的主语是后边的主语从句whether they will enjoy it；后一个it指前一个并列分句的主语Having a trip abroad.该分句中句子主语是作表语的动词不定式动作的承受者,不定式要用被动式.题干的意思是“出国旅行对于一个老人来说当然不错,这还有待于看他们是否喜欢出国旅行再说”.答案为B.例如：
Outcome remains to be seen．结局还要看看再说.
Many questions remain to be answered．还有许多问题要解答.
