问题补充:
no bus, we had to take a taxi to go to the station.
A. There was
B. There to be
C. There had been
D. There being
答案:
A. There was
B. There to be
C. There had been
(答案→)D. There being
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:由于没有公交车,我们不得不乘坐出租车去火车站。根据句意可知,前一个分句表示的是原因,选A、C的话,前后两分句没有用and连接;there to be表示将来,根据句意可知,是发生过的事情,排除B;there being在此相当于because there was。故选D。
