　　C. leaving; lie D. left; lay

　　【解析】選B。句意: 聽到這個消息, 女孩毫不猶豫地沖了出去, 行李放在地板上, 然后消失在黑暗中。leave意為“使……處于某種狀態”, lying作leave的賓語補足語, leaving the luggage lying on the floor是現在分詞短語作狀語, 表示自然而然的結果。

　　【拓展延伸】

　　自然而然的結果用doing; 意料之外的結果用only to do。doing結構作結果狀語, 往往表示自然而然的結果。例如: There is mud and water everywhere, making it difficult to travel from place to place.

　　到處都是泥和(積)水, 這使得到各地旅行很困難。

　　本句中making it difficult to travel from place to place作結果狀語, 表示前面發生的事情“到處都是泥和(積)水”所產生的自然而然的結果。還有一類結果狀語表示意料之外的結果, 常用only to do結構來表示。例如:

　　He returned home many years later only to be told that his wife had left him.
