  固定结构考点
  如:
  ① the professor could hardly find sufficient grounds _____ his
  arguments in favor of the new theory。(2000。6)
  a。 to be based on b。 to base on
  c。 which to base on d。 on which to base
  ② the pressure _____ causes americans to be energetic, but it
  also puts them under a constant emotional strain。
  a。 to compete b。 competing
  c。 to be competed d。 having competed
  ①题为不定式做定语的固定形式,答案为d,②题为某些特定名词的定语结构,答案为a。在英语中有些名词,如动词变来的名词,形容词变来的名词,以及means, way, time, moment, reason等要求其后用不定式做定语,不定式没有体的变化。
  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:
  ① ______ the earth to be flat, many feared that columbus would fall off the edge of the earth。(1996。6)
  a。 having believed b。 believing c。 believed d。 being believed
  ② _______ a teacher in a university, it is necessary to have at least a master‘s degree。(1995。1)
  a。 to become b。 become c。 one becomes d。 on becoming
  ③ realizing that he hadn‘t enough money and ____ to borrow from his father, he decided to sell his watch。(1995。1)
  a。 not wanted b。 no to want c。 not wanting d。 wanting not
  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
