做非謂語動詞題的經典妙招

妙招一 用作目的狀語，原則上要用不定式

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】答案選D。由于被訓練進行航空飛行是他被派往那兒的目的，所以要用不定式，因此可排除A和B。另外，由于“他”與“訓練”之間為被動關系，故選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】答案選C。由于是表示目的，故要用不定式，句意為：為了要做這塊蛋糕，你需要2只雞蛋、175克糖和175克面粉。

妙招二  用于名詞后作定語時，使用非謂語動詞的原則是：用不定式，表示動作尚未發生；用現在分詞，表示動作正在進行；用過去分詞，表示動作已經發生，同時表示被動意義

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】答案選D。由于2008年奧運會尚未舉行，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】答案選C。由于表示“正在等”，故用現在分詞作定語。

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

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

【解析】答案選A。因things與動詞lose之間為被動關系，故用過去分詞。

注：受the first, the second…the last修飾的名詞或代詞后原則上要用不定式作定語。如：

—The last one _________ pays the meal.

—Agreed!

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

【解析】答案選C。因為在the first, the second, the third, …, the last等結構后習慣上要接不定式作定語，又如：I’d be the first to admit I might be wrong. 我愿第一個承認我可能錯了。You are the second to make that mistake. 你是第二個犯這錯誤的人。

妙招三  用作伴隨狀語，原則上要用現在分詞

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】答案選B。由于與句子主語I之間為主動關系，且表示當時持續了一會兒，故用現在分詞。句意為：當信號燈變綠時，我站在那兒一會兒沒動，心想自己該怎么辦。

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】答案選C。此處用現在分詞表伴隨，又如：A card came yesterday saying Sue will arrive tomorrow. 昨天收到的明信片上說，休明天到。Alan received a telegram saying his father was ill. 埃倫收到一封電報，說是他父親生病了。

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】答案選A。現在分詞saying在此表示伴隨。

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】答案選A。現在分詞thinking在此表示伴隨。
