几道非谓语动词作
1. He walked in, _____A____ a book in his hand, went to a table near the window and sat down in silence.
A. carrying B. carried C. to carry D. having carried
【解析】答案选A。此题考查分词作状语的用法。首先不定式表示目的和将来可以排除;having done强调动作的完成,不符合题意,只剩下A和B,这是一个并列句,句中有三个谓语动词walked in, went to 和sat down。句中的carrying a book in his hand是现在分词,用作状语,修饰walked in,表伴随。提醒:此题易错选B。
2. _____B_____for many years, the novelist suddenly became famous.
A. having ignored B. Having been ignored C. to have been ignored D. to be ignored 【解析】正确答案为B。此题考查分词作状语。因ignored和the novelist是动宾关系,而不是主谓关系,即“被忽视”,故可排除表主动意义的A。至于C和D,首先可排除D,因为它是不定式的一般式,表示将来意义,与句意不符;而C是不定式的完成式,一般不作时间状语。
3. _____B_____ to the consumers, more and more advertisers are using images of pop stars in their ads. A. Appealed B. to appealed C. appealing D. to be appealed
【解析】正确答案为B,考查不定式的用法。首先可以排除A和D,因为appeal是不及物动词,不能用过去分词表被动,从句意来看,题目想表达的是为了吸引消费者,不定式作目的状语,而现在分词一般情况下不能表目的,所以选B。
4. — What’s the matter with you
—____D___ the heavy suitcase, my waist was hurt unexpectedly.
A. Having carried B. Carried C. While carrying D. While I was carrying
【解析】正确答案为D,考查非谓语动词的逻辑主语。一般说来,非谓语动词的逻辑主语需要和主句主语一致,此题中,主句的主语是my waist,而非谓语动词的逻辑主语是I,所以不能用非谓语动词,只能用状语从句,所以选D。
5. ____D____with enough instruments necessary for the experiment, these scientists are expecting to finish it ahead of time. A. To be supplied B. to
supplied C. supplying D. supplied
【解析】正确答案为D,考查非谓语动词作状语。这句话的主语是scientists,与非谓语动词supply是动宾关系,也就是被提供,因此排除了B和C,不定式作状语表示将来和目的,与题意不符,所以选D。

1. B. 因为collection (收藏品,收集物) 是可数名词,此处为单数,又不是特指,所以用不定冠词;books是名词复数表示种类,而非特指,所以不用冠词。又如:a fine collection of paintings精美的绘画收藏品。
2. B. word (话、话语) 是可数名词,without saying a word意为“没说一句话”;虽然silence (沉默)是不可数名词,但此处是特指前面提到的那种沉默,所以用the。
3. A. 因为school, college, university, hospital, prison, church, table, bed名词等指其用途时,不用冠词。leave college意为“大学毕业”。又因为表示职业或身份的单数名词前通常要用不定冠词,所以选A。
4. C. price前加定冠词表特指。句意为“如果你买10个以上,他们会从那个价钱中减掉20便士”。 5. B. 因为division后有介词短语between…and…的限制,这是特指的,所以要用the。又因为concern作“所关切的事”解是可数名词,所以前面要用冠词。
6. D. 因为house和cottage都是可数名词,且都不是特指,所以都用不定冠词。句意是“威尔逊一家住在大海附近的一栋A形房子里,那是一座17世纪建的别墅”。
7. A. 从next time可知,对方这次住了旅馆,第一空的hotel就是特指这个旅馆,所以用the;第二空的单数可数名词bed不是特指的,所以用不定冠词。句意是:你下次来这里度假,就不要到这旅馆来住了,我在我的公寓里帮你弄张床。
8. D. 虽然understanding是不可数名词,但作“了解、理解”解时,却常常要加不定冠词(尤其是当其前有形容词修饰时),排除B和C。又因为life作“生活、人生”解,是不可数名词,不是特指,不用冠词。have a better understanding of life指“对生活有更深刻的理解”。
9. B. 虽然通常说the world,但world有定语修饰时,表示“一个…的世界”时,要用不定冠词。题中两个world都有定语修饰,后者是前者的同位语,所以两个都用不定冠词。句意是:这是一个奇妙的世界,一个什么事都有可能发生的世界。
10. C. 因part后面有一定语从句修饰,是特指,用the;又因为“工业革命”是由普通名词构成的专有名词,所以前面也要用the。
11. A. 因为discovery作“被发现的事物”讲是可数名词,前面用不定冠词,又如,make an important discovery scientific discovery (作出重大的科学发现)。man作“人、人类”解,是既没有复数形式,也不能在前面加冠词的,understanding前又受名词所有格man’s修饰,也不能用冠词,所以第二空不用冠词。
12. A。information 是不可数名词,前面不用冠词,因此排除 B 和 D;have a word with是固定短语,意为“和某人谈一下”。句意为“我想请你帮我看一下旅馆的管理材料”。“好的,你可以和饭店经理谈,他会帮你的”。
13. A。此题考查不定冠词和不用冠词的情况。抽象名词knowledge前加不定冠词a使其具体化,a knowledge of English意为“懂英语”;而international trade是泛指,意为“国际贸易”,前面不用冠词。句意为“很多人认为懂英语是当今国际贸易所必需的”。
14. D。此题在特定语境中考查不定冠词的用法。第一句句意为“你看见一支钢笔吗”是泛指,用不定冠词。第二空“是黑色的吗”不是二次提及上文的钢笔,也是泛指,故也用不定冠词。
15. C。(be) in use是固定词组,意为“在使用中”;第二空是序数词前要加定冠词,the thirteenth century 指第13世纪。句意为“十三世纪马可波罗访问中国时,中国已用纸币”。
16. B。animals 是名词复数表示泛指,不用冠词;kind是单数可数名词,of…kind“…种类的”。根据句意“多数动物与另一类的动物没有关系,除非它们以其为食”。可指应用a表示泛指。
17. C。句意为“从一万英尺高的飞机里跳出来是一次非常激动人心的经历”。airplane表泛指,以元音开头用an;experience当“经历”讲时是可数名词,因此表示“一次经历”要加不定冠词。
18. B。fire泛指“火灾,失火”,不用冠词;red button 是特指,第二空用 the。句意为“那块牌子上写着:“万一失火,打碎这块玻璃,按那个红色按钮”。
19. B。第一空用the表示特指“今日的新闻”;第二空reports是复数名词表泛指,不加冠词。句意为“在今天的新闻中有关于那个地区的大雪的报道”。
