典例 Smart phones ________ by Huawei are getting more and more
popular around the world.
A. made B. making C. to make
【点拨】用语法判定法解题。句意：由华为制造的智能手机正在全世界
变得越来越受欢迎。主语“smart phones”与所填动词“make”构成逻辑上
的动宾关系，且所填词在句中作后置定语修饰主语“smart phones”，表示
被动关系，应填其过去分词形式。

Christmas.
考点5 care about 关心；在意 强调出于责任感而“关心；在乎”。
e.g. His parents care about him too much.

been dead＋ for＋时间段”或“died＋时间段＋ago”。
强调的是“死”的动作，是个短暂性动词，强调“死”的一瞬

promise 承诺，许诺。从语境可知，这里指的是已经答应弗兰克了，不能
再答应杰克去野餐了。
