After his journey from abroad , Richard Jones returned home, _____. A．exhausted B．exhausting C．being exhausted D．having exhausted

A



试题分析：考查形容词用法。Exhausted感到疲倦的（修饰人或者与人有关的事物）；exhausting令人疲倦的（修饰事物）；句意：在到国外旅游以后，Richard Jones回到了家，筋疲力尽。本句中的exhausted是对句子主语进行说明。故A正确。
点评：由分词转换成的形容词用法是考查较多的内容。过去分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰人或者与人有关的事物如look, appearance；现在分词转换的形容词常常用来修饰事物。这样的形容词经常在句中做表语或者定语修饰名词，也可以在句中构成形容词短语对主句的情况进行说明。
