单项填空

A．are intending to read
B．are intended to be reading
C．are intending to reading
D．are intended to be read
解析：选D。be intended to do 为……准备(设计)的。再依据后面的 by passing cardrivers 可知，此处应用被动语态，所以答案为D。
2．(2012·河北石家庄模拟)The stones each__________as much as two tons.
A．weighs B．are weighed
C．weigh
D．is weighed
解析：选C。考查主谓一致和语态。本句主语 stones 是复数形式，故谓语动词用复数形式；weigh为连系动词，意为“重达”，无被动语态。如：This marble ramp weighs one ton.这个大理石台阶重一吨。
3．His invention__________of great use at that time.
A．considered being
B．considered to be
C．was considered to be
D．was considered being
解析：选C。句意：当时人们认为他的发明十分有用。sth.is considered to do 表示“某物被认为……”，因为时间是 at that time，故用过去时态。
4．Tony was not unhappy for__________to the party.
A．having not been invited
B．not having invited
C．having not invited
D．not having been invited
解析：选D。for 是介词，后接动名词作宾语；Tony 与invite 之间是被动关系，要用被动形式；且invite 应在 be unhappy 之前，所以要用完成形式；not 要放在非谓语动词形式的前面。
5．Customers are asked to make sure that they__________the right change before leaving the shop.
A．will give
B．have been given
C．have given
D．will be given
解析：选D。句意：顾客在离开商店前，都被要求确认找给他们的零钱正确。they 和动词 give 之间显然是被动关系，所以用被动语态。
