似是而非的非謂語動詞的考點歸納

一、形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查省略句

①The flowers his friend gave him will die unless _______ every day. (四川卷)

A. watered            B. watering           B. water                 D. to water

答案為A。unless watered可視為unless they are watered之省略。又如：

②No matter how frequently _______, the works of Beethoven still attract people all over the world. (廣東卷)

A. performed        B. performing           C. to be performed    D. being performed

答案為A。No matter how frequently performed可視為No matter how frequently they are performed之省略。

③— I was wondering if we could go skiing on the weekend.

— ________ good. (湖北卷)

A. Sound              B. Sounded          C. Sounding         D. Sounds

答案為D。Sound good為It sounds good之省略。

二、形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是形容詞的用法

①He is very popular among his students as he always tries to make them ______ in his lectures. (江蘇卷)

A. interested        B. interesting        C. interest             D. to interest

答案為A。過去分詞interested在此已轉化為形容詞，interested in意為“對……感趣”。

②_______ and happy, Tony stood up and accepted the prize. (全國卷)

A. Surprising       B. Surprised         C. Being surprised  D. To be surprising

答案為B。由于與形容happy并列，故可排除C和D。又因為是用以說明主語Tony的心情，故用surprised，不用surprising。

三、形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查某種句式

①—It’s a long time since I saw my sister. (全國I)

—_______ her this weekend?

A. Why not visit   B. Why not to visit    C. Why not visiting   D. Why don’t visit

答案為A。Why not…為英語中常用句式，用于提出建議，其后只接動詞原形，不接不定式或現在分詞。注意不能選D，但是若D改為Why don’t you visit也可以選。

② If you are planning to spend your money having fun this week, better _______ it—you’ve got some big bills coming. (廣東)

A. forget                B. forgot                C. forgetting          D. to forget

答案為A。此處的better實為you’d better之省略。根據英語習慣，had better之后只能接動詞原形，故選A。

四、形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查祈使句

①Mary, _______ here — everybody else, stay where you are. (全國I)

A. come                B. comes               C. to come             D. coming

答案為A。此處考查祈使句的用法，故用動詞原形。

②—What should I do with this passage?

— _______the main idea of each paragraph. (重慶卷)

A. Finding out     B. Found out        C. Find out            D. To find out

答案為C。此處考查祈使句的用法，故用動詞原形。其實，此題也可視為You should find out…之省略。

五、形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查并列句

① At last, we found ourselves in a pleasant park with trees providing shade and _______down to eat our picnic lunch. (上海卷)

A. sitting               B. having sat        C. to sit                  D. sat

答案為D。由句中的and可知，此句為并列結構，且空格處填sat，與其前的謂語動詞found并列。

② _______ many times, but he still didn’t understand it.

A. Having been told                           B. Though he was told  C. To have been told   D. He was told

答案為D。句中的并列連詞 but 表明整個句子為并列句，同時表明but前應是一個獨立的句子，而不能是一個非謂語動詞短語(所以不能選A或C)，又因為though為從屬連詞，用以引導讓步狀語從句，它與連接并列句的并列連詞 but 不“兼容”，所以也不能選B。

③First _______ the rice by washing it, then _______ it in boiling water.

A. prepare, cook  B. preparing, cooking    C. preparing, cook    D. prepare, cooking

答案為A。題干部分為兩個并列的祈使句，故均用動詞原形。
