非謂語動詞是教學的重點和學習的難點,也是高考考查的熱點。下午借助對2006年高考中一些的試題的分析歸納,對動詞不定式、過去分詞、現在分詞這幾個方面的解題關鍵進行一些歸納。
一、動詞不定式
例1.It took a long time for the connection between body temperature and illness______.
A. to makeB. to be madeC. makingD. being made
解析:B.邏輯主語the connection與make構成被動關系,而此結構中常用不定式的復合
結構,故選不定式的被動式。
例2.It remains ________ whether Jim'll be fit enough to play in the finals.
A. seenB. to be seen C. seeing D. to see
解析:.B. remain是系動詞,后面可以跟不定式、過去分詞和-ing分詞,但動詞see是
及物動詞,后面卻沒有賓語,而whether從句是remain的真正主語,且還沒有發生,因此,應用不定式的被動式B.to be seen。
例3.Police are now searching for a woman who is reported to _______ since the flood hit the
area last Friday.
A. have been missing B. have got lost C. be missing D. get lost
解析:A.此題考查不定式做補語的用法。“sb/sth + be + reported to do”結構表示“據報
道……”,本句中有since從句,因此,不定式得用完成式。而B項中的have got lost只表動
作,故選A.have been missing。
4.He hurried to the booking office only_______ that all the tickets had been sold out.
A. to tell B. to be told C. tellingD. told
解析:B. “only + to do”結構在英語中通常做結果狀語,表示事與愿違的結果。根據句意
應為結果被告知,所以用被動式B.to be told。
5.Mr. Green stood up in defense of the 16-year-old boy, saying that he was not the one________.
A. blamedB. blaming C. to blameD. to be blamed
解析:C. (be) to blame為固定搭配,表應該受責備,沒有被動結構,應選C.to blame。
解題關鍵:第一,準確理解和熟練運用動詞不定式的三種時態,不定式的一般式to do通常只指將要發生的事;進行式to be doing一般指正在發生的事;完成式to have done指過去或在謂語動詞之前發生的事。如:(1)Tom is said to go abroad next week. “to go abroad”表將要出國。
(2)Tom is said to be studying French at present. “to be studying French”表示正在學法語。
(3)Tom is said to have gone abroad last year. “to have gone abroad last year” 表去年已經出國了。第二,不定式位于句首只做目的狀語。如:“To learn English well, we must enjoy losing face.”為了學好英語,我們必須不怕丟臉。第三,牢記不定式的一些固定搭配。如: “sb /sth is said /reported /believed”后面一定是不定式; “only to do” 表示一種偶然的結果; “be to blame”表示被責備;“remain to be seen”意為依情況而定。
二、過去分詞
6.______ with so much trouble, we failed to complete the task on time.
A. FacedB. FaceC. FacingD. To face
解析:A . “be faced with”為固定結構,表示“面臨,面對”,故選A. Faced 。
7.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:A. 邏輯主語the works of Beethoven 與perform 構成被動關系。根據語境,貝多
芬的作品被頻繁地演出,所以選A. performed。
