单项填空

①This book is worthy of ___   twice .

A. Reading                    B. read

C. having read              D. being read

②He is well skilled___ playing the piano, so his music is worth                     .

A. with; listening          B. with; listening to

C. in; listening               D. in; listening to

解析： ①选D。

be worthy 后可以用不定式的被动语态或of being done结构，而worth后用动名词的主动语态表达被动概念。

②选D。be skilled in doing 也可以用be skilled at后跟名词或动名词表示，意思是“在……方面熟练的;在……方面有能力的”。

worth意思是“值得”,后跟动名词的主动语态表达被动概念。在句中，music作listen to的逻辑宾语，而listen为不及物动词，因此to不可以去掉。
