非謂語動詞

考點提示：

1. 對非謂語動詞的考查，主要集中在單項填空；在短文改錯中，也常有一題考查非謂語動詞的基本用法。

2. 非謂語動詞在高考中考查占分與時態(tài)語態(tài)相當。

3. 高考主要考查非謂語動詞的基本用法，且重點考查非謂語動詞作狀語、定語、補語和賓語的語法功能及相互間的用法區(qū)別。

語法精析

一、判斷句子中動詞是否用非謂語動詞形式

1. 動詞中的行為動詞或連系動詞在句子中的句法功能是用作謂語，但也可作其他句子成分，如：主語、賓語等。動詞在句子中用作謂語時，就用相應的時態(tài)、語態(tài)或虛擬形式；如果動詞在句子中不充當謂語，而作其他句子成分，則動詞應使用相應的非謂語形式，即動詞不定式、動名詞、現(xiàn)在分詞或過去分詞。

2. 判斷句子中的動詞用作謂語的情況，是正確使用非謂語動詞形式的前提。判斷的方法是：一個句子的構成不可缺少作謂語的動詞；如果一個句子中有兩個或以上的動詞，它們之間（或至少最后兩個間）有連詞and或其他并列連詞連接，則這些動詞應是并列的謂語動詞，否則，除作謂語的動詞外，其他動詞應用相應的非謂語動詞形式。如：This morning my mother went to the market alone， met an old friend of hers during her school days and talked to her for about two hours. （went，met和talked是三個并列的謂語動詞）；Helen shouted to make herself heard above the sound of music. （shouted是謂語動詞；to make是動詞不定式作狀語；heard則是過去分詞作賓補）。

二、非謂語動詞形式的用法區(qū)別

1. 動詞不定式、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞用作定語、狀語和補語的用法區(qū)別：

記住12個字，即：主動、將來（動詞不定式）；主動、進行（現(xiàn)在分詞）；被動、完成（過去分詞）。

注意：

（1） 這12字的運用是針對動詞不定式、分詞的一般式而言。

（2） “主動、被動”是指非謂語動詞與其邏輯主語構成的是主動還是被動關系。“將來、進行、完成”分別指非謂語動詞發(fā)生的時間在句子謂語動詞時間之后、同一時間或之前。

（3） 選用非謂語動詞形式時，要同時考慮滿足非謂語動詞與其邏輯主語的主動、或被動關系和非謂語動詞發(fā)生的時間關系。另外，動詞不定式用作賓補時也可表動作發(fā)生的全過程（尤其是在感官動詞see，hear等后）；現(xiàn)在分詞的動詞是狀態(tài)動詞，在作定語時，可表示存在的情況；過去分詞，也可表示出現(xiàn)的情況或存在的狀態(tài)，無時間概念。

（4） 非謂語動詞的邏輯主語，指的是：當非謂語動詞作狀語時，句子的主語就是其邏輯主語；作定語時，它所修飾的名詞或代詞就是其邏輯主語；作賓補時，其前面的賓語就是它的邏輯主語。

2. 動詞不定式與動名詞作賓語的用法區(qū)別：

（1） 在介詞后作賓語，動詞用動名詞形式（少數(shù)例外，如：except，but）。

（2） 在及物動詞后作賓語，著重記憶后面只能接動名詞作賓語的動詞（suggest， advise， allow， permit， forbid， admit， finish， enjoy， dislike， consider， avoid， miss， escape， mind， practise等）以及后面既可接動詞不定式，又可接動名詞作賓語，但詞義有區(qū)別的動詞（try， mean， stop， remember， forget， regret等）。如：remember to do記住去做；remember doing記得做過。

三、非謂語動詞的特殊用法

1. 主動形式表被動意義

（1） 動詞不定式作定語時，和它所修飾的名詞或代詞構成邏輯上的動賓關系，又和該句另一名詞或代詞（常常是主語）構成邏輯上的主謂關系時，不定式常用主動形式，不用被動形式。

（2） 不定式在表語形容詞后作狀語，不定式用主動形式，不用被動式。如：English is easy to learn.

（3） There be結構中動詞不定式在名詞后作定語，可用主動式，也可用被動式，意義有區(qū)別。

（4） need，require，want三詞在表示“需要”時，后面接動名詞的主動式，表示被動意義。be worth doing結構中的動名詞也為主動式表被動意義。

2. 動詞不定式符號to的有無

（1） 動詞不定式在感官動詞see，watch，notice，hear，feel等和使役動詞make，have，let后作賓補時，不定式不加to。但在被動結構中作主補的不定式要加to。

（2） 當不定式動詞重復了前面動詞，為了避免重復，?？墒÷圆欢ㄊ絼釉~原形，但保留to，如：I haven’t been to Hong Kong， but I wish to.

注意：

（1） 當want，like用于when，if，what，as等從句中時，它們后面的to也常省略。如：You may go if you like.

（2） 當省略的不定式中含有be或have時，to后要保留be或have 。如：He didn’t come， but he ought to have.

第二部分 閱讀理解（第一節(jié)共10小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

第一節(jié)

A

If you are planning to study in the USA， you need to consider several factors. Everyone has a different opinion about where are the best places to live in； also the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally， many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusettes Institute of Technology， for example， is a great school for computer science and technology—related fields of study. However， if you want to study oceanography（海洋學）， your interest may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.

Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.

California is a nice state. Northern California specially has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story though. Life in LA is full of excitement and speed， and sometimes—dangerous. As for me， I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusettes， Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California， but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Midwest. Middle America， I think， is home to the true America sense of values. In addition， there are many good universities there.

Also， you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow？ Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space， nature and peace and quiet？ Then you probably should stay away from America’s larger cities. Are you interested in government？ Then Washington DC is the only place for you.

36. From Paragraph 1 we can conclude that in the US ___ .

A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities

B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful cities

C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places

D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places

37. What should be considered first if you want to study in the US？

A. The climate.B. The living condition.

38. From Paragraph 3 we can find that ___ .

A. California is the best place to live

B. California is the worst place to live

D. California is a small state in the US

39. From the last paragraph we can get to know that ___ .

Tourism campaigns featuring bikini—girl models and images of the outback（內(nèi)地）as in the new movie Australia have helped Australia win the title of world’s top country brand for the third continuous year.

An annual country branding index designed to track travel trends（趨勢）and find out opportunities for tourism made Canada rise to the second place in the list of countries with the best brand reputations. The United States slipped one place to be ranked the third in the index came from a survey of 2，700 travelers from nine countries by brand consultancy（顧問）FutureBrand and public relations firm Weber Shandwick.

Other countries to make the top 10 in the fourth annual Country Brand Index （CBI） were Italy， Switzerland， France， New Zealand， Britain， Japan and Sweden.

The index identified China， the United Arab Emirates and Croatia as the top three “rising stars”—those are likely to become major tourist destinations in the next five years.

FutureBrand’s senior managing director Rina Plapler said some countries were now taking on board the idea of brand but this was still a largely underdeveloped part with most countries not using marketing to differentiate themselves.

Australia has just launched a global tourism campaign making itself as a place to “find yourself” along with the outback movie Australia released this month starring Nicole Kidman， focusing on the beauty of the country’s vast land.

Tourism numbers to Australia dropped 4.7 percent last year as the country relied on a failed campaign starring a bikini—girl model asking “Where on earth are you？”

Although Australia became the top， when it came to the best branded countries for arts and culture， the list was led by Italy， France and Egypt.

The best country brands for doing business were named as the United States， Germany， Britain， France and Italy.

When it came to nightlife， the leaders in branding were Japan， Brazil and Spain； For fine dining the winners were Italy， France and Japan， and for shopping， it was hard to beat the United States， United Arab Emirates and Singapore.

But when it came to the country where travelers would most like to live in， Australia came the first followed by New Zealand， Canada， and Switzerland.

The survey also identified various travel trends including women traveling more and without men， rich retires traveling with their grandchildren， and more people visiting places or species that are seen in danger or in some form of time—related environmental risk（瀕危游）.

As our truck pulled up to the ranch（牧場）to start a three—month program for troubled boys， we passed a cowboy on his horse. Bill was the owner of the ranch， and he sat at the gate to wave us in. We made eye contact through the dusty window and he looked at me and touched the edge of his cowboy hat in welcome.

All summers long Bill and his ranch—hands taught us to ride horses， tie hay（干草）， cut up wood， and round up cattle. He understood the value of working with our hands， and we respected him for his knowledge and gentle leadership. He knew how important it was for boys like me to know that someone believed in us. He trusted us to do the job and do it right， and we didn’t want to let him down. Several times in that summer he took me fishing and we not only talked about how to cast a line， but also about my dreams and what I wanted from life. He encouraged me to make goals and shared stories from his own experiences.

The last day at the ranch， Bill pulled me aside and praised me for the work I had done in that summer—not only on the ranch， but also on myself. He told me that if I ever needed anything I could depend on him. Four years later， I took him up on that offer. I called him up and asked for a job. I told him how his belief in me had given me the courage to change my life. I explained that I wanted to help others in the same way. He offered me a job at once. I’m proud to say that each summer I’m the one who opens the gate for a truck full of young men who need someone to believe in them， so they can learn to believe in themselves.

43. According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？

A. The writer and Bill are not friends.

B. The writer went to the ranch every summer.

C. his ranch was short of workers at that time

45. What would be the best title for the passage？

How to Find Yourself

Do you often feel lost？ Do you think you are living somebody else’s life？ If yes， discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.

46. _______________

If you are thinking， “How to find yourself when you are lost？”， then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work， personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of over work？ Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to？ Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you？ Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your anxiousness.

47. _______________

For once， instead of being the way others want you to be， be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in， the place that you would like to stay in， the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead， if you didn’t have the society or people around you， judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace， then think， what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person？ Or adventurous？ Or loving， or realistic？ Once you look within， you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.

48. _______________

Thinking deeply about the past， the time or situations when you were the happiest， is another way to find yourself.Think what you were doing or with whom you were， when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.

49. _______________

Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So， it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts， which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows maybe one day going through it， you will find yourself.

50. _______________

Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life， make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting， go ahead and do it. If you want a career change， plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it， break away. At the beginning， you may find yourself slightly unbalanced， but with time everything will be fine.

It is very important for you to truly find yourself， before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now， you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know， i.e. yourself.
