2016年成人学位英语考试复习练习-非谓语动词3

　　1. I am considering ___my job as I’m not getting on well with my boss.

　　A. changing B. to change C. changed D. to be changed

　　【答案】A consider后面接动名词做宾语，表“考虑做某事”;consider sb./sth. to do表“认为”。因此A为正确答案。本句的意思是：“我正在考虑换工作，因为我和老板关系不太好。”如：We are considering learning a foreign language.我们正在考虑学一门外语。

　　2. Charles Babbage is generally considered ______ the first computers.

　　A. to invent B. inventing C. to have invented D. having invented

　　【答案】C此题考查的是非谓语动词中不定式的用法。Be considered/said/ believed to do 表示：据认为/据说/据相信做……，而后面的动作若已经发生，则用完成时表示，故选to have invented.

　　3. Mary regretted ___ to John’s birthday party last Sunday.

　　A. not going B. not to go C. not having been going D. not to be going

　　【答案】A。regret后面要跟动名词做宾语，动名词的否定式是在动名词之前直接加not。

　　4. I regret _______ you that we are unable to offer you a job.

　　A. in forming B. having informed C. to inform D. to informing

　　【答案】C。regret to do sth.遗憾做某事。我很遗憾的告诉你我们不能给你这份工作。
