非謂語動詞考題五種常見設題陷阱

 陷阱一：形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查省略句

1. The flowers his friend gave him will die unless _________ every day.

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

【解析】答案選A。unless watered可視為unless they are watered之省略。又如：

Unless changed. this law will make life difficult for farmers. 這項法令除非進行修改，否則將給農民的生活造成困難。

2. No matter how frequently _________, the works of Beethoven still attract people all over the world.

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

【解析】答案選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.

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

【解析】答案選D。Sound good為It sounds good之省略。

陷阱二：形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是形容詞的用法

1. He is very popular among his students as he always tries to make them _________ in his lectures.

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

【解析】答案選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.

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

【解析】答案選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surpring。

陷阱三：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.

— _________ her this weekend?

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

【解析】答案選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.

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

【解析】答案選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。

陷阱四：形式上是考查非謂語動詞，但實質上是考查祈使句

1. Mary, _________ here — everybody else, stay where you are.

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

【解析】答案選A。此處考查祈使句的用法，故用動詞原形(from www.hz123456.com)。

2. —What should I do with this passage?

— _________the main idea of each paragraph.

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

【解析】答案選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。

陷阱五：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.

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

【解析】答案選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

【解析】答案選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。

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

A. prepare, cook                                          B. preparing, cooking

C. preparing, cook                                       D. prepare, cooking

【解析】答案選A。題干部分為兩個并列的祈使句，故均用動詞原形。
