2.a 考查介词。a unique problem一个独特的问题。

3.leaving 考查非谓语动词。现在分词作结果状语。句意：在她们涂上口红之后，会用嘴唇压在镜子上，留下很多的小唇印。

4.them 这里用them代指上文的lip prints。

5.explained 考查动词的时态 句意：她对女孩子们解释那些唇印会给每晚清洁镜子的管理员带来大麻烦。动作发生在过去，故用explained。

现在分词与动词不定式做结果状语的区别

不定式作结果状语大家较为熟悉，尤其是在下列常见的句型中：

1. Would you be so kind as to lend me your new bike ?

请你把你的新自行车借给我，好吗？

2. The ice is thick enough to walk on.

冰厚得可以在上面步行。

3. That’s much too heavy for you to lift.

那太重，你拎不动。

此外，不定式还可以表示一个随后发生的动作，这个不定式短语的功能也是结果状语。

4. He got home to learn that his father was ill.

他回到家中，得知他父亲病了。

有时为了强调，可以在不定式短语前加only。

5. Tom got to the station only to find the train had gone.

汤姆到达车站，却发现火车已经开走了。

6. Marry hurried back only to find her mother dying in the hospital.

玛丽匆忙赶了回来，结果却发现她母亲在医院里奄奄一息。

从上例可知，不定式做结果状语通常表示的是一个未曾料到的不愉快的结果。现在我们再来看几个用现在分词作结果状语的例子，注意一下它和不定式做结果状语在用法上有什么区别：

7. His parents died , leaving him an orphan.

父亲去世了，（结果）他成为孤儿。

8. It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in that country.

大雨滂沱，造成了那个国家洪水泛滥。

9. He cut off the electricity quickly, preventing an accident.

他迅速切断了电源，防止了一起意外事故。

10. He watered the flowers in the garden more often, only making things worse.

他更为经常地给花园里的花浇水，结果反而更糟。

从上面四个例句中我们可以看得出来，作为结果状语的现在分词短语所表示的都是谓语动词的直接结果，是意料中的结果。“他成为孤儿”是“父母双亡”是直接结果；“洪水泛滥”是“大雨滂沱”后意料中的结果；“防止了事故”是“切断电源”的直接结果；而“园中花木反而更糟”当然是违背植物生长规律，“浇水过勤过多”的自然而然的结果。这些皆不同于4、5和6中不定式短语所表示的结果——未曾预料到的结果。
