问题补充：

Laura was away in Paris for over a week.When she got home，there was a pile of mailfor her. (·辽宁，28)

A. waited

B. to wait

C. waiting

D. was waiting

答案：

A. waited

B. to wait

(答案→)C. waiting

D. was waiting

解析：

考查非谓语动词。句意为：Laura出差巴黎一周多，当她回家时，有一堆邮件在等着她。分析句子可知，空格处用作后置定语修饰mail，且mail与wait之间为主动关系。waited为过去分词，表示被动或完成；to wait为不定式，表示未发生的动作；waiting为现在分词，表示主动和正在进行；was waiting为过去进行时的谓语部分，而句中不缺少谓语。故选C项。
