Question

________ a little money, Jane was able to buy her mother a lovely new watch.

A．To save

B．Saving

C．Having Saved

D．Saved

Answer 1

C

试题分析：To save表示目的；Having done表示它的动作发生在谓语动词之前；根据was able to能够买并且也已经买了可知这里不是表目的，简给她的母亲买一块新表的愿望已经实现了，根据句意应该先攒够钱然后又买的，故选A。
点评：本题较难。主要考查的是非谓语的一些最基本的用法。但是，题目的设置注重了情景化和结构复杂化，加大了考生对题干句的理解难度。
