7. What is the chance of______another typhoon in this area this summer?
there being
there to be
there be
there going to be
本题主要考查there be复合结构。由选项可知,题干意为“今年夏天这个地区再有台风的可能性有多大”。因为介词of后面有动词时要跟动名词,所以本向中的being可以看作是动名词作of的宾语,there可以看作是动名词的逻辑主语,there being构成动名词的复合结构。比如: She denied therebeing any misunderstanding between them (她否认他们之间有任何误会)。因此,A项符合题意,B、C、D三项均不符合。故正确答案为A。
