9、n followed. A. being given B. having given C. to be given D. having been given 解析:该题考查非谓语动词的用法。该题较难, a lively question-and-answer session followed 是一个完整的句子,该题的两部分之间缺少连词,所以逗号前面的不能是句子,只能是一个独立主格结构。名词 his lecture与动词 give 之间构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词表示被动,排除 B项。 A项表示正在进行, C项不定式表示将要进行。都符合语义, D 项 having been done 在作状语
