　　A. seizing; disappeared B. seized; disappeared

　　C. seizing; disappearing D. seized; disappearing

　　【答案】D。考查谓语动词和非谓语的辨别。首先看到and，判断and前面缺少谓语动词。排除A、C。而and后面已经有谓语动词，所以disappear应该用非谓语形式。Man和disappear是主动关系，因此排除A，选D。突然，这个驾着金色车子的高个男人抓住那个女孩，并把她带走了，消失在树林里。

　　46. ___ in the air, fuels give off heat.

　　A. hoped B. to hope C. hoping D. having hoped

　　【答案】C如果选A项,则它前面应有and,与主句构成并列关系. 排除A. to get our support本身即表示目的，没有必要再在前面加上不定式to hope表示目的,故排除B.而D项表示完成,从句没有完成的意思.故选C,现在分词短语作伴随状语. 句意是“他们给我们发了声明,希望获得我们的支持.”
