有關(guān)系動詞feel的一道考題

請看下面這道題：

“Do you like the material?” “Yes, it _________ very soft.”

A. is feeling                        B. felt                        C. feels                        D. is felt

【分析】此題容易誤選D，想當(dāng)然地根據(jù)“這布料摸起來很柔軟”這一句意，認(rèn)為“布料”應(yīng)是“被摸”，所以 feel 選用被動語態(tài)。其實，此題正確答案為C，因為 feel 在此為連系動詞，而所有的連系動詞均為不及物動詞，不能用于被動語態(tài)，盡管有時其漢語意思有被動意味。請看以下類例 (答案均為D)：

(1) Her forehead _________ hot. I’m afraid she is ill.

A. is feeling                        B. felt                          C. is felt                           D. feels

(2) The new school has been completed. It _________ very beautiful.
