做非谓语动词题的经典妙招

做非谓语动词题的经典妙招

妙招一 用作目的状语，原则上要用不定式

1. When asked why he went there, he said he was sent there _________ for a space flight.

A. training                  B. being trained           C. to have trained       D. to be trained

【解析】答案选D。由于被训练进行航空飞行是他被派往那儿的目的，所以要用不定式，因此可排除A和B。另外，由于“他”与“训练”之间为被动关系，故选D。

2. _________ this cake, you’ll need 2 eggs, 175 g sugar and 175 g flour.

A. Having made           B. Make                      C. To make              D. Making

【解析】答案选C。由于是表示目的，故要用不定式，句意为：为了要做这块蛋糕，你需要2只鸡蛋、175克糖和175克面粉。

妙招二  用于名词后作定语时，使用非谓语动词的原则是：用不定式，表示动作尚未发生；用现在分词，表示动作正在进行；用过去分词，表示动作已经发生，同时表示被动意义

1. The Chinese are proud of the 29th Olympic Games _________ in Beijing in 2008.

A. hold                     B. holding                     C. held                       D. to be held

【解析】答案选D。由于2008年奥运会尚未举行，故要用不定式。

2. There are hundreds of visitors _________ in front of the Art Gallery to have a look at Van Gogh’s paintings.

A. waited                   B. to wait                     C. waiting                    D. wait

【解析】答案选C。由于表示“正在等”，故用现在分词作定语。

3. “Things _________ never come again!” I couldn’t help talking to myself.

A. lost                        B. losing                      C. to lost                      D. have lost

【解析】答案选A。因things与动词lose之间为被动关系，故用过去分词。

注：受the first, the second…the last修饰的名词或代词后原则上要用不定式作定语。如：

—The last one _________ pays the meal.

—Agreed!

A. arrived                    B. arrives                     C. to arrive                   D. arriving

【解析】答案选C。因为在the first, the second, the third, …, the last等结构后习惯上要接不定式作定语，又如：I’d be the first to admit I might be wrong. 我愿第一个承认我可能错了。You are the second to make that mistake. 你是第二个犯这错误的人。

妙招三  用作伴随状语，原则上要用现在分词

1. As the light turned green, I stood for a moment, not _________, and asked myself what I was going to do.

A. moved                   B. moving                   C. to move                   D. being moved

【解析】答案选B。由于与句子主语I之间为主动关系，且表示当时持续了一会儿，故用现在分词。句意为：当信号灯变绿时，我站在那儿一会儿没动，心想自己该怎么办。

2. Peter received a letter just now _________ his grandma would come to see him soon.

A. said                      B. says                        C. saying                       D. to say

【解析】答案选C。此处用现在分词表伴随，又如：A card came yesterday saying Sue will arrive tomorrow. 昨天收到的明信片上说，休明天到。Alan received a telegram saying his father was ill. 埃伦收到一封电报，说是他父亲生病了。

3. Whenever he was asked why he was late for class, he would answer carelessly, always _________ the same thing.

A. saying                   B. said                       C. to say                      D. having said

【解析】答案选A。现在分词saying在此表示伴随。

4. We often provide our children with toys, footballs or basketballs, _________ that all children like these things.

A. thinking                 B. think                     C. to think                    D. thought

【解析】答案选A。现在分词thinking在此表示伴随。
