6．The poor man stood there，with his hands_________，his eyes_______ upon the dark cave.

A．crossed；fixing

B．crossing；fixing

C．crossed；fixed

D．crossing；fixed

答案　A

解析　考查with的复合结构。"with＋宾语＋宾补"是with的复合结构。本题中cross是hands的补足语，二者构成被动关系，用过去分词；fix的发出者是the poor man，二者构成主动关系，故选A项。

7．I must thank my parents _________ to be a college student.

A．to make it possible for me

B．to make it possible to me

8．What surprised me was not what he said but _________ he said it.

A．the way B．in the way that
