Ⅰ.单句语法填空(非谓语动词)
1. (2014·北京海淀区高三期末)Doctors always advise us ________(drink) plenty of water to stay healthy.
答案:to drink 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:医生总是建议我们多喝水以保持健康。这里用advise sb. to do sth.表示“建议/劝告某人做某事”,用带to的不定式作宾补。
2. (2014·浙江考试院抽学校高三抽测测试)________(please) with the effect of the color change, the woman smiled with satisfaction.
答案:Pleased 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:这位女士对颜色变化的效果感到很高兴,她满意地笑了。此处非谓语动词的逻辑主语是the woman,与please之间构成动宾关系,所以用过去分词pleased。动词不定式一般表示将来。
3. Milk companies saw their prices ________(fall) as investors' confidence was hurt.
答案:fall 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:由于投资者的信心受到伤害,乳制品公司经历了价格的下跌。分析句子结构可知,空处作saw的宾语补足语,且saw后而应该用省略to的不定式作宾补。
4. Sitting at the corner of the meeting room, he looked sad because there were so many problems ________(remain settle).
答案:remaining to be settled 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:他坐在会议室的角落里,看起来很伤心,因为仍然有那么多问题需要解决。remain短语在there be结构中作后置定语,由于remain是不及物动词,故应用现在分词remaining;且settle与problems之间构成动宾关系,故用不定式的被动形式。
5. As the immune system weakens, it loses the ability ________(fight) illnesses.
答案:to fight 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:由于免疫系统减弱,它失去了与疾病抗争的能力。表示“……的能力”,要用不定式作后置定语来修饰the ability。
6.(2014·南京高三模考)The white building, ________(survive) threats to pull it down, is now a private house in the possession of a retired professor.
答案:having survived 解析:考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知, ________threats to pull it down是非谓语动词短语作状语,The white building和survive是主谓关系,再根据survive的动作发生在句子谓语动作之前可知,应用现在分词的完成式。
7.(2014·陕西高三教学质量检测)All the passengers, please put the trash and waste in the plastic bags ________(provide) on your right.

答案:Having abused 解析:考查非谓语动词作状语。句意:威廉姆斯作为市长滥用职权给他的朋友安排工作,现在在接受调查。分析句子结构可知,________ his position as mayor to give jobs to his friends是非谓语动词短语作状语,动词abuse与句子主语Williams是逻辑上的主谓关系,且动作发生在谓语动作之前,因此用动词-ing的完成式。
9.(2014·北京东城区高三检测)The visiting professor was interested in the teaching methods ________(use) in the classroom.
答案:used 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:客座教授对这个班级所采用的教学方法很感兴趣。根据句子的结构判断,此处应是非谓语动词形式作定语,修饰the teaching methods,且“the teaching methods”和use之间是动宾关系,所以用过去分词短语作定语。

答案:having caught 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:汤姆那天赶上了第一班公交车,及时到了医院。本空用非谓语动词作状语,表示先于谓语动词发生的动作,因此用现在分词的完成式。
