解析：本题考查非谓语动词。句意：汤姆和他的朋友们昨天去了海滩。他们整个白天都在那里。根据句意，这里表示状态，因此用现在分词形式作宾语补足语。4、Theteacheraskedustoreadthebook___________(be)recommendedbyProfessorSmith.答案：recommended

解析：本题考查过去分词。句意：老师要求我们阅读由史密斯教授推荐的这本书。根据句意，book与recommend之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式作后置定语。5.I____(1)__myhomeworkeveryeveningbeforegoingtobed.A.finishB.finishesC.finishedD.finishingAnswer:A
