        4) 做状语的非谓语动词的选择
        做状语的非谓语动词主要考查其各种形式的选择，如：

        ④ ___ it or not, his discovery has created a stir in scientific circles.(1997.1)
        A. Believe B. To believe C. Believing D. Believed
       
        从以上各题来看，考查的侧重点有：
        (1)状语类别的判断
        不同的状语对非谓语动词的要求不同，目的状语要求用不定式，如②。
        (2)非谓语动词与句子属于之间的逻辑关系
        根据主谓关系或动宾关系的不同来确定用现在分词还是用过去分词。
        (3)非谓语动词的否定形式
         not否定非谓语动词时置于非谓语动词之前，如③。
        (4) 独立成分
        有些非谓语动词的使用不受与句子主语关系的限制，称为独立成分，这类成 分只记忆即可。如:
        generally speaking, judging from..., to tell the truth..., 等。
       
        5) 做补足语的非谓语动词的选择
        做宾语补足语的非谓语动词受谓语动词的限制，不同动词后的宾语补足语形式要求不同。近几年对各类宾补都有考查。如：
