15．(2012·湖南高考)The lecture, ________ at 7：00 pm last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.
A．starting C．to start
B．being started D．to be started
解析：句意：昨晚7点开始的演讲结束之后，紧跟着的是对月球用望远镜进行了一次观测。此处start用作不及物动词，表示“开始”，故用现在分词作后置定语，其形式相当于which started...。而不定式的一般式多表示将来的动作；若start用作及物动词，则此处要用被动形式，而B项being started表示正在开始，D项to be started表示将来的动作，均与原题中last night不符。故选A项。
答案：A
16．(2012·江苏高考)________ an important decision more on emotion than on reason, you will regret it sooner or later.
A．Based C．Base
B．Basing D．To base
解析：base...on...意为“把??建立在??基础上”。由于逗号前后没有关联词，可排除构成祈使句的C项，该句主语you与base为主动关系，可排除A项，此项表示被动的过去分词形式；不定式在句首通常表示目的，不合逻辑，可排除D项；答案为B项，现在分词形式作条件状语。句意：如果你把一个重要的决定建立在情感之上而不是理智之上，你迟早会后悔的。
答案：B
17．(2012·江西高考)John has really got the job because he showed me the official letter ________ him it.
A．offered C．to offer
B．offering D．to be offered
解析：该题容易误选A项，因为大家一般认为letter与offer存在被动关系，但此处offer后面有两个宾语，显然，应使用offer sb.sth.的主动形式作后置定语修饰the official letter，说明信的内容。
答案：B
18．(2012·辽宁高考)The old couple often take a walk after supper in the park with their pet dog ________ them.
A．to follow C．followed
B．following D．follows
解析：句意：这对老年夫妇经常晚饭后去公园散步，后面跟着他们的宠物狗。此处是with的复合结构，宾语dog与作宾语补足语的follow存在逻辑上的主动关系，且表示伴随情况，故用现在分词作宾语补足语。
答案：B
19．(2012·课标全国)The party will be held in the garden, weather ________. A．permitting C．permitted

答案：A
