考查現在分詞的典型考題

1. ________ many times, he finally understood it.

A. Told                     B. Telling                 C. Having told          D. Having been told

【解析】D。根據句意可知，句子主語he與動詞tell之間為被動關系，所以可以排除選項B和C；又因為tell與understand之間明顯的先后關系，即先被告訴然后才明白，所以選D不選A。又如：Having been told so beforehand, he was not surprised. 因為之前已經有人告訴他了，所以他并不驚訝。

2. They use computers to keep the traffic ________ smoothly.

A. being run             B. run                       C. to run                   D. running

【解析】D。此題考查keep…doing sth結構，其意為“保持……做某事”“使……不停地做某事”。又如：He kept the fire burning. 他讓火燃著。I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. 對不起讓你等了。

3. There is a great deal of evidence ________ that music activities engage different parts of the brain.

A. indicate                B. indicating             C. to indicate            D. to be indicating

【解析】B。從語法上看，“there be+名詞”后面既可接不定式，也可接現在分詞，其區別是：用不定式表示將要發生的情況，和現在分詞表示正在進行的情況或通常性情況。根據句意，顯然應用現在分詞。句意為：有大量證據表明音樂活動與大腦的不同部位有密切關系。

4. A small plane crashed into a hillside five miles east of the city, ________all four people on board.

A. killed                   B. killing                  C. kills                     D. to kill

【解析】B。現在分詞短語killing all four people on board在此用作結果狀語。又如：He fired, killing one of the passers-by. 他開槍了，打死了一個過路人。I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. 我摔了個跟頭，頭撞在了門上，劃了個口子。
