B.savedC.saving

D.havingsaved參考答案：C【詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意：由于“糖稅”,食品工廠在食品中減少了糖,節(jié)省約4500萬公斤的糖。句中主語foodfactories和動詞save是主動關(guān)系，用現(xiàn)在分詞的一般形式作結(jié)果狀語，表示現(xiàn)在的情況。故選C.【點(diǎn)睛】現(xiàn)在分詞短語在句中可以作結(jié)果狀語，它的邏輯主語便是句中的主語，該短語相當(dāng)于一個結(jié)果狀語從句，且用主動語態(tài)。分詞短語在句中作結(jié)果狀語時，通常位于句末，中間有逗號。有時為了加強(qiáng)語氣，就在分詞前加thus。Theircarwascaughtinatrafficjam,thuscausingthedelay.=Theircarwascaughtinatrafficjam,thusitcausedthedelay.他們的車遇上交通阻塞，因而耽誤了。16.Therehavebeenseveralnewevents________totheprogramforthe2008BeijingOlympicGames.A.add
