{01}______________________, he had to walk home at midnight.

A.There was no means of transportation

B.With means of transportation to take

C.Although there was no means of transportation

D.There being no means of transportation

解析：
试题分析：句意：因为在半夜没有交通工具，他不得不走着回家。整个句子逗号后是句子，如果逗号前是句子必须有连词，选项C，虽有连词句意不通，故排除C；选项A是句子但缺少连词，故排除A；选项B，用的是with的复合结构，但是句意不通，“有交通工具，所以走着回家。”，故排除B；根据句意故选D。
点评：本题较难。独立主格结构是高中的难点，近几年考得次数较少，需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力，还必须能够理解句意。
即学即练：The manager looks relaxed, _______.
A. many things settled       B. many things are settled 
C. and many things settled   D. many things being settled
解析：A。句意：许多事情已经处理好了，经理看上去很轻松。（事情已经处理好了，用动词-ed形式settled表示动作已经结束）
本题选D。
