非谓语动词高考考点分类“透视与点拨”
孙玉忠
在句子中不充当句子的谓语的动词,叫做非谓语动词。非谓语动词是学习英语时的难点,也是考查的重点,英语中非谓语动词有三种:动词不定式、过去分词和动词 v-ing 形式。本文结合近几年的高考试题,分类谈一下高考对非谓语动词的考查,希望能对同学们能有所帮助:
一、高考与不定式
不定式是高考重要考点 , 不少内容理解难度较大 , 考生在这些方面容易失分。不定式的形式多样,结构复杂,内涵丰富,作用也很大,最能体现英语独特的形式特征,因此命题人热衷于使用它来作为考查武器就不足为怪了。下面笔者分类整理了近年高考对其的考查情况,然后逐一进行分析,希望能对同学们学习备考这一重点内容有一个比较大的帮助。
考点 1 :不定式的时态和语态
点拨:大多数情况下不定式以一般式形式出现 , 但不少情况下可能会出现时态、语态的形式 , 如进行式、完成式、被动式等。
【经典考例】 ----Is bob Still performing ?
----I'm afraid not . He is said ______ the stage already as he become an official.(NMET2005 江苏卷 )
A. to have left B. to leave C. to have been left D. to be left
解析:本题答案为 A 。根据句子的意思“据说他已经离开了舞台”,要用不定式的完成形式,当然要用主动形式。
【经典考例】 The news reporters hurried to the airport, only ____ the film stars had left. (2004 福建卷 )
A. to tell B. to be told C. telling D. told
解析:答案为 B 。动词不定式与 only 连用表示未曾预料的结果, to be told 的意思为“被告之”,用不定式的被动语态。
考点 2 :不定式的功能
点拨:不定式是非谓语动词常见的一种形式,它具有名词的特征,在句子中可以作主语或宾语;具有形容词的特征,在句子中可以作表语、定语或补足语;具有副词的特征,在句子中可以作状语。
( 1 )、形容词性
【经典考例】 Paul doesn't have to be made ______ .He always works hard. (NMET2005 重庆卷 )
A. study B. to study C. studied D. studying
解析:答案为 B 。 不定式结构 be made to study 作主语补足语,如果是 make sb. study ,也就是它的主动形式的话,则不带 to 的不定式结构作宾语补足语。
( 2 )、副词性
【经典试题】 It was unbelievable that the fans waited outside the gym for three hours just ______ a look at the sports starts. ( NMET2005 上海卷)
A. had B. having C. to have D. have
解析:答案为 C 。本题考查不定式作目的状语,“球迷们等在体育场外面,目的就是为了仅仅看一下这些体育明星们。”
( 3 )、名词性
【经典考例】 When asked by the police , he said that he remembered _____ at the party, but not _____. (NMET2005 北京卷 )
A. to arrive; leaving B. to arrive; to leave C. arriving; leaving D. arriving; to leave
解析:答案为 C 。 remember 后跟动名词作宾语,表示“记得做过某事”,跟不定式结构作宾语,表示“记住要做某事”,根据句子的意思“记得到过舞会,但不是离开舞会” ,都要选动名词结构。
【经典考例】 In fact ______ is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match. (NMET2001 上海 )
A. this B. that C. there D. it
解析:答案为 D 。真正的主语是不定式短语 to keep order in an important football match 。这样的句子主语就显得太长而导致句子得结构不平衡,所以 D 为正确答案。
考点 3 :不定式的省略
点拨:不定式的省略我们可以看分作两种,一种是不定式符号“ to ”后省略实义动词的形式;另一种则是对不定式符号“ to ”的省略。
【经典考例】 The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him _____. (NMET2005 重庆卷 )
A. not to B. not to do C. not do it D. do not
解析:解析:答案为 A 。 tell sb. to do sth. 的意思是 “ 让某人做某事 ” 。在英语中,为了避免重复,常用省略形式,在这个句子中省略了 do it 。选项 B 如果加上 it ,也可以选 B 。
【经典考例】 Paul doesn't have to be made _____ . He always work hard. ( NMET 1995 )
A. learn B. to learn C. learned D. learning
解析:答案为 B 。 make , let , have ,see, feel ,watch ,notice 等动词,后面接不定式作宾补时,不定式不带,例如: As you've never been there before , I'll have someone show you the way. (1990 上海 ) 。但是,这类动词用语被动结构时,作主语补足语时的动词不定式必须带 to 。
考点 4 :不定式的否定形式
点拨:动词不定式的否定形式是在不定式的符号“to ”前直接加上 not , 有时为了强调也可以用否定词never 来否定。
【经典考例】 The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier, ______ it more difficult. ( NMET 1999 )
A. not make B. not to make C. not making D. do not make
解析:答案为 B 。动词不定式 to make life easier 和 not to make it more difficult 都作 is 的表语,做这类题目时,要比较非谓语动词的形式,前后要保持相同,后面不能省略 to 。
考点 5 :不定式的搭配形式
点拨:一般情况下不定式都是独立存在的 , 但强调不定式所表动作的时间、地点、内容、方式等时 , 不定式可出现 " 疑问词+ 不定式 " 的结构 ; 强调不定式所表动作的使用工具、范围等时应使用 " 不定式 + 介词" 的结构。这些结构形式新颖 , 考生常难以识别。
【经典考例】 It is said that in Australia there is more land than the government knows _____. (NMET2002)
A. it what to do with B. what to do it with C. what to do with it D. to do what with it
解析:答案为 C 。本题考查“疑问词+不定式”和动词短语 do with 的用法,根据本题的意思可以看出,由于 know 不可以直接跟动词不定式而排除 D ;“疑问词+ 不定式”结构当然要把疑问词置于前面,从而排除 what …do with… 实际上是一个常用的短语,在短语中 what 作 do 的宾语,句中的 it 作介词with 的宾语,故选 C 。
二、高考与过去分词
在高考英语阶段的学习中,过去分词的学习是一个重要的语法内容。作为非谓语动词,它成了高考年年必考的“重头戏”。过去分词主要起形容词或副词的作用 , 表示 " 被动、完成" 的意义 , 在句中作状语、定语、补足语、表语、等, 也可以构成独立主格结构。本文拟结合近几年的高考试题 , 就过去分词的用法及易考点加以点拨 , 希望对高三的同学们复习备考这一用法有所帮助。
考点 1 、过去分词作状语
点拨: (1) 过去分词作状语时,通常可相当于时间、原因、条件、方式等状语从句。此时要注意两条前提:一是从句主语必须与主句主语一致;二是从句谓语动词表示的动作是相对稳定的或是有规律性的,且具有被动含义。( 2 )如果动词过去分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致 , 就应使用状语从句、独立主格结构、 with 的复合结构或调整句子的主语来表达。( 3 )已成固定结构的评说性独立成分 , 过去分词作状语 , 其逻辑主语不要求与句子主语一致。
【经典考例】 ______ in a white uniform, he look more like a cook than a doctor. (NMET2005 湖南卷 )
A. Dressed B. To dress C. Dressing D. having dressed
解析:答案为 A 。过去分词短语 Dressed in a white uniform ,相当于 Being dressed in … 作方式状语。本句的意思是:穿着白色的制服,如其说他是个大夫,还不如说他更像个厨师。
【经典考例】 ______ from other continents for millions of years, Australia has many plants and animals not found in any other country in the world. (NMET2005 湖北卷 )
A. Being separated B. Having separated C. Having been separated D. To be separated
解析:答案为 C 。此题考查非谓语动词的用法,为过去分词作原因状语,“ having been separated ” 表示“已经被分开了许多年”,而“being separated ”表示“正在被分开”,“ having separated ”表示主动,“ to be separated ”表示“目的”。
考点 2 、过去分词作定语
点拨:过去分词作定语时,通常可替换某些定语从句。此时要注意两点:首先,在被替换的定语从句中,使用的必须是作从句主语的关系代词;其次,定语从句中的谓语动词通常使用表示已经完成或被动的时态。
【经典考例】 Prices of daily goods ____ through a computer can be lower than stone prices. (2002 春招 )
A. are bought B. bought C. been bought D. buying
解析:此题考查过去分词短语作后置定语的用法。我们可以把 bought through 还原成一个定语从句: Prices of daily goods that are bought through a computer… ,可知最佳答案为 B 项。
考点 3 、过去分词作宾补
点拨:动词的过去分词作宾语补足语时表明宾语是该动词的动作对象 , 动词与宾语之间有逻辑上的动宾关系。可以带动词过去分词作宾语补足语的动词有:find, feel, hear, see, have, get, leave, like, keep, expect, want, make 等。 如 :
【经典考例】 Helen had to shout ______ above the sound of the music. (NMET2004 卷3)
A. making herself hear B. to make herself hear
C. making herself heard D. to make herself heard
解析:答案为 D 。首先要用不定式短语作目的状语。然后在不定式短语中,过去分词 heard 作 herself 的宾语补足语,表示喊叫的目的是在嘈杂的音乐声中使别人听到自己所说的话。
考点 4 、过去分词作表语
点拨:动词的过去分词作表语 , 其实可以看作是过去分词的形容词化 , 说明的是主语在该动作完成后所处的状态。常用一般现在时和一般过去时 , 这类过去分词有 closed, covered, dressed, shut, broken, wounded, killed, finished, completed, injured, lost, gone, typed, known, written 等。
【经典考例】 Sara, hurry up. I'm afraid you won't have time to ____ before the party. (NMET2004 全国卷 1)
A. get changed B. get change C. get changing D. get to change
解析: 答案为 D 。 get changed “换衣服”,系动词 get 后接过去分词作表语,表示被动,表示某人换衣服要用被动语态。
三、高考与 V-ing 形式
动名词和现在分词皆由动词构,并总以v-ing 形式结尾。当 v-ing 形式作用象名词时,叫做动名词,而当 v-ing 形式其作用象形容词或副词时,就叫做现在分词。然而这两大功能之间有一些重叠,故往往难于(也不必要)作出有效的区别。本文为使广大考生能够较容易地掌握这种形式,因此在使用这一形式中概括了动名词和现在分词结构。现分类分析如下:
考点 1 、对 v-ing 形式作状语时的考查,常见的可分以下几类:
( 1 )、作原因状语:
【经典考例】 ______ in the queue for half an hour , Tom suddenly realized that he had left his wallet at home. (NMET2004 北京卷 )
A. To wait B. Have waited C. Having waited D. To have waited
析:答案为 C 。 根据 for half an hour 可判断出要用现在分词的完成形式 having waited 填写,表示排队发生在汤姆意识到把钱包忘在家里了之前。
( 2 )、作方式状语,表伴随情况。
【经典考例】 “You can't catch me” Janet shouted, ______away. (NMET2005 全国卷 3)
A. run B. running C. to run D. ran
析:答案为 B 。 现在分词 running away 在这里作伴随状语。题意是一边跑着,一边喊着说。
( 3 )、作时间状语:
【经典考例】 The old man , ______ abroad for twenty years, is on the way back to his motherland. (NMET2004 江苏卷 )
A. to work B. working C. to have worked D. having worked
析:答案为 D 。根据 for twenty years 可确定用现在分词的完成形式 having worked 做时间状语,表示他在回国前在国外工作了二十年。
( 4 )、作结果状语:
【经典考例】 More and more people are signing up for Yoga classes nowadays, ______ advantage of the healthy and relaxation benefits. (NMET2005 上海卷 )
A. taking B. taken C. having taken D. having been taken
析:该题考察非谓语动词的用法。四个选项均为take 的不同形式,由句中的逗号及空白前后的逻辑关系考虑,此空应填现在分词表结果,答案为 A 。
考点 2 、对 v-ing 形式作宾语时的考查,
点拨:可分为两类:在 risk, admit , avoid, consider, dislike, enjoy, escape, face, fell, like, finish, forgive, give up, imagine, include, keep, mention, mind, miss, practise, put off, can't help, can't stand, look forward to, insist on 某些动词或词组之后只能用 v-ing 形式,不能用不定式做宾语;在 forget, go on, like, mean, regret, remember, stop, try 某些动词之后可带动名词或不定式作宾语,但意义上有区别。
【经典考例】 He got well prepared for the job interview, for he couldn't risk ______ the good opportunity. (NMET2005 上海卷 )
to lose B. losing C. to be lost D. being lost
解析: risk 后面跟 V-ing 形式作宾语,并且为主动语态,故答案为 B 。
考点 3 、对 v-ing 形式作宾补时的考查 :
点拨: V-ing 形式作宾补时通常在 see, watch, observe, look at, hear, listen to, notice, leave, get , have 等动词之后,表示该动作正在发生。
【经典考例】 He looked around and caught a man ______ his hand into the pocket of a passenger. (NMET2004 北京春季 )
A. put B. to be putting C. to put D. putting
解析:答案为 D 。现在分词 putting 作宾语补足语,表示主动。 Catch sb. doing 表示“当场抓住(撞见)某人在做某事。”
考点 4 、对 V-ing 形式作定语时的考查:
点拨: v-ing 形式作前置定语,表示用途,即“用来做 …… ”或表示性质,即“ …… 的” ; V-ing 形式作后置定语,往往表示正在发生或与谓语动词同时发生的动作,其作用相当于一个定语从句。
【经典考例】 Mr. Smith ,________ of the ______ speech, started to read a novel. ( 2003 北京春季 )
A. tired; boring B. tiring; bored C. tired; bored D. tiring; boring
析:这是一个典型的 v-ing 形式作前置定语以形容词功能出现,在这里, tiring 意为“令人疲老的”。在这里过去分词 tired 作状语,表伴随, 故答案为 A 。
考点 5 、对 v-ing 形式作主语时的考查
点拨:此时 v-ing 形式多表示一般或抽象的多次性行为。
【经典考例】 It's necessary to be prepared for a job interview . ______ the answer ready will be of great help. ( MEET 2005 北京卷 )
A. To have had B. Having had C. Have D. Having
析:动名词短语 Having the answer ready 把答案准备好,作主语,故答案为 C 。
考点 6 、对 v-ing 形式作表语时的考查
点拨:可分为两种情况:第一种表示“使人感到……的一种性质或特征。第二种表示抽象概括的动作,这种动作未必在进行。
【经典考例】 It is believed that if a book is ______, it will surely ______ the reader. (NMET2003 上海 )
A. interested; interest B. interesting ;be interested C. interested; be interesting D. interesting; interest
解析: interesting 意思为“有趣的”, interest 在这里作及物动词,意思为“使读者感兴趣”。故答案为 D 。
