②有些假设的情况由介词短语表示,或通过上下文来体现。
Had I had time,I would have gone there.
我要是有时间,早就去那儿了。
Were I you,I would never believe him.
如果我是你,我永远都不会相信他。
Should he come tomorrow,we would have no trouble.
要是他明天来的话,我们就没问题了。
But for the storm,we should have arrived earlier.
要不是那场暴风雨,我们早就到了。

7.If the person being interviewed agrees, we sometimes use small recorders to make sure that we get all our facts straight.
如果正在被采访的人同意,我们有时使用小型录音机录音以确保我们把事实搞清楚。
(1)the person being interviewed“正在被采访”。若被修饰词与现在分词是被动关系时,须用现在分词的被动式(being done)作定语,表示“正在被”。如:
The song being broadcast is very popular with the young students.
正在播放的歌曲深受青年学生的欢迎。
(2)get sth. straight.[俚语]意为“明确某事,把某事弄清楚”。如:
Let's get it straight.

答案:C
8.Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.
对摄影我不仅是感兴趣,在大学里我还专修过业余摄影课来更新我的技术。
not only am I interested in photography是一个倒装句,因为有表示否定意义的副词not位于句首,其正常句子结构为:“I am not only interested in photography”。
●特别提醒
在句型“not only...but(also)”中,如果not only位于句首时,该句主谓部分需要倒装,而but (also)部分则不需倒装。
注意:在not until引导的时间状语从句位于句首时,从句不倒装,主句倒装。
①Not only do the nurses want a pay increase, but also they want reduced hours.
护士们不仅想要提高报酬,而且想要减少工作时间。
②Not until he got back at midnight, did he realize he was taken in and suffered a great loss.

四、语法精讲
(一)不定式的时态形式
1.不定式的一般时表示的动作通常与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生或者在其后发生。
2.不定式的进行时表示的动作一般与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。
3.不定式的完成时表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前。
(二)不定式的语态形式
4.不定式修饰的名词或代词和不定式逻辑上构成主谓关系时,用主动形式。
5.不定式和它前面被修饰的名词或代词构成逻辑上的动宾关系,同时又和该句的另一名词或代词构成逻辑上的主谓关系时,用主动形式表示被动意义。
6.不定式作表语形容词的状语和句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系时,用主动形式。
7.当不定式的逻辑主语是不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,一般用不定式的被动形式。
8.在“be+性质形容词+不定式”结构中,用主动形式表示被动意义,常见此类形容词有easy, hard, pleasant, impossible等,它们说明不定式的性质。
9.当不定式与疑问代词连用,不定式所表示的动作与疑问词之间存在动宾关系时,用主动形式表被动意义。
(三)非谓语动词作定语的用法比较
10.现在分词(短语)作定语与所修饰的名词之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动、进行。
11.过去分词作定语与所修饰的名词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动、完成。
12.动词不定式作定语多表示将来的动作。
13.动名词作定语表示它所修饰名词的用途,不存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
(四)非谓语动词作状语的用法比较
14.动词不定式作状语常表示目的或结果,表示在谓语动词之后发生的动作。
15.现在分词可作目的、原因、结果、条件或伴随等状语。其一般时表示与谓语动词动作同时发生的动作;完成时表示在谓语动作之前发生的动作。
16.过去分词形式作状语表示完成或被动。其动作是由句子的主语承受的。而不定式和现在分词作状语时,其动作是由句子主语发出的。
(五)非谓语动词作表语的用法比较
17.动词不定式作表语表示将要完成的某一具体动作。
18.现在分词作表语往往带有主动意义,说明主语的性质或特征。
19.过去分词作表语常含有被动意义,表示主语因外部原因而产生某种状态。
20.动名词作表语常可与主语换位,说明主语的内容。
(六)非谓语动词作补语的用法比较
21.现在分词作宾补表示动作正在进行,与补充说明的成分之间有主动关系。
22.过去分词作宾补与宾语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,与补充说明的成分之间有被动或完成的关系。
23.动词不定式作宾补与宾语之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系。表示动作的全过程,或已结束或即将发生。使役动词后常接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。
(七)非谓语动词作主语的区别
24.动名词作主语表示泛指经常性、抽象的动作;不定式常表示特指的、一次性的、具体的动作。都可用it作形式主语。
25.动名词作主语表示已经完成的动作,不定式作主语表示可能实现的动作,且不定式作主语时常用it作形式主语。
(八)非谓语动词作宾语的用法
26.有些动词只能用不定式作宾语如afford, agree等;有些则只能用动名词作宾语如admit, enjoy等。还有些动词(短语)用两种形式均可,但意义不同,如forget, remember, regret等。
(九)独立主格结构
27.独立主格结构由名词或代词作为逻辑主语,加上分词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语构成。这种结构在形式上与主句没有关系,但又不是真正的独立。可以在句中作时间、原因、条件、方式、伴随状语等。
专题专练
1. I have a lot of readings________ before the end of this term.
A.completing B.to complete
C.completed D.being completed
答案:B
解析:考查非谓语动词。根据语意可知此处表示一个将要发生的动作,所以用动词不定式,故选B。语意为:在这学期结束之前我有大量的阅读要完成。C项作定语表示已经完成,D项作定语表示正在进行,故都应排除。
2. His first book ________ next month is based on a true story.
A.published B.to be published
C.to publish D.being published
答案:B
解析:考查非谓语动词。下个月要出版的他的第一本书是以一个真实的故事为基础的。此处表示将来,是被出版,要用不定式的被动式作定语。
3. A great number of students ________ said they were forced to practise the piano.
A.to question B.to be questioned
C.questioned D.questioning
答案:C
解析:考查过去分词作定语。句中question与其修饰的名词students之间是动宾关系(被动关系),因此用过去分词作定语。
4. In many people's opinion, that company, though relatively small, is pleasant ________.
A.to deal with B.dealing with
C.to be dealt with D.dealt with
答案:A
解析:考查动词不定式的用法。某些形容词(pleasant,nice,comfortable,difficult,hard,easy等)后接动词不定式时,常用主动形式表示被动意义。
5. There were many talented actors out there just waiting ________.
A.to discover B.to be discovered
C.discovered D.being discovered
答案:B
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:很多有天赋的演员在那里就是为了等着被人发现。discover与many talented actors之间是动宾关系,且强调将来,故用不定式的被动语态。
6. The traffic rule says young children under the age of four and ________ less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat.
A.being weighed B.to weigh
C.weighed D.weighing
答案:D
解析:考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语young children与weigh之间构成主谓关系,应该用weigh的现在分词形式weighing,相当于“young children who weigh less than 40 pounds”,答案选D项。
7. Mrs. White showed her students some old maps ________ from the library.
A.to borrow B.to be borrowed
C.borrowed D.borrowing
答案:C
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:怀特老师向她的学生展示了一些从图书馆借来的旧地图。maps与borrow为动宾关系,因此空白处应用过去分词作后置定语,故答案为C。
8. ________ from the top of the tower, the south foot of the mountain is a sea of trees.
A.Seen B.Seeing
C.Having seen D.To see
答案:A
解析:考查非谓语动词作状语的用法。当从塔顶看的时候,南边的山脚是一片树的海洋。动词see与句中主语是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词。此非谓语结构相当于一个状语从句If/When it is seen from the top of the tower。
9.Lots of rescue workers were working around the clock, ________ supplies to Yushu, Qinghai Province after the earthquake.
A.sending B.to send
C.having sent D.to have sent
答案:A
解析:考查非谓语动词。地震过后,许多救援人员正日夜不停地工作,向青海玉树运输救援物资。现在分词短语作伴随状语,表示同时发生的动作,故选A项。C项表示动作已完成,不符合题意。不定式表示出乎预料的结果,作目的状语时一般不与主句隔开,可排除B、D两项。
10. With Father's Day around the corner, I have taken some money out of the bank ________ presents for my dad.
A.buy B.to buy
C.buying D.to have bought
答案:B
解析:考查非谓语动词。父亲节即将来临,我已经从银行取了些钱要给父亲买礼物。空白处应用动词不定式作目的状语,因此答案为B。
11. In April, thousands of holidaymakers remained ________ abroad due to the volcanic ash cloud.
A.sticking B.stuck
C.to be stuck D.to have stuck
答案:B
解析:考查非谓语动词。四月份,成千上万的度假者由于火山灰的影响而被滞留在国外。此处remain作系动词,后跟过去分词作表语,表示被动,故选择过去分词stuck。
12. Listen! Do you hear someone ________ for help?
A.calling B.call
C.to call D.called
答案:A
解析:考查非谓语动词。hear sb. doing sth.表示听到某人正在做某事,calling在句中是现在分词作宾补。语意:听!你听到有人正在喊救命吗?
13. The living room is clean and tidy, with a dining table already ________ for a meal to be cooked.
A.laid B.laying
C.to lay D.being laid
答案:A
解析:考查with复合结构。lay意思是“摆放,搁”,和其逻辑主语table是动宾关系,already表明动作已经完成,表示被动和完成应该用动词的过去分词形式。语意为:起居室既整洁又干净,为了正要做的饭,一张餐桌已经摆好了。
14. Lucy has a great sense of humour and always keeps her colleagues ________ with her stories.
A.amused B.amusing
C.to amuse D.to be amused
答案:A
15.The children went home from the grammar school,their lessons________ for the day.
A.finishing B.finished
C.had finished D.were finished
答案:B
解析:本题考查动词时态。因前后两句的动作在同一个时间发生,故第二句的谓语动词也用一般过去时。
16.—Come on,please give me some ideas about the project.
—Sorry. With so much work________ my mind,I almost break down.
A.filled B.filling
C.to fill D.being filled
答案:B
解析:考查with的用法,with+宾语+宾补,work与fill是主动关系,所以用filling。
17.________the water run while you brush your teeth wastes water.
A.Don't let B.Let
C.Not letting D.Letting
答案:D
解析:句意:当你刷牙的时候让水流着就浪费了水。分析题干知,letting the water run是动名词短语作主语,wastes是谓语动词,while you brush your teeth是时间状语从句。故D项正确。
18.—Dad, do you consider it any good ________ the computer again?
—Yeah, it won't cost much.
A.to repair B.repairing
C.repaired D.being repaired
答案:B
解析:分析题干知,consider是谓语动词,it是形式宾语,any good是宾语补足语,常用“v.?ing”短语作真正的宾语。故B项正确。
19.The time and effort he has devoted during the past few years ________ trees in that remote area is now considered to be of great value.
A.to planting B.to plant
C.plant D.planting
答案:A
解析:句意:在过去的几年里,他在偏远的地方种树所花费的时间和精力现在看来有很大的价值。解答此题关键是划分句子成分。主语是The time and effort,谓语动词是is considered,而he has devoted during the past few years是主语的定语从句,其谓语动词使用了devote...to doing结构,故A项正确。
20.He spends, I think, a lot more time in reading English than I do ________ French.
A.learning B.to learn
C.learn D.having learned
答案:A
解析:首先分清句子结构,I think是插入语。spends是谓语动词,a lot more time是宾语;(in)reading English是补语,than后是比较状语从句,do代替spend,改写完整是I spend(in) learning French。他学英语花费的时间比我学法语的时间还要多。故A项正确。
21.After the operation, the first thing he does every morning is ________ plenty of exercise.
A.to take B.taking
C.take D.to be taken
答案:C
解析:根据语境知,手术后,他每天早上做的第一件事情就是大量的锻炼。分析题干知,he does every morning是the first thing的定语从句,is是系动词,用to do作表语,因定语从句中的does是实义动词,故省略to,因此C项正确。
22.—You look pale.
—I feel a little ________.
A.tire B.tired
C.tiring D.tiresome
答案:B
解析:A项“使感到累”;B项“疲倦的;累的”;C项“引起疲劳的;累人的”;D项“无聊的”。根据语境知感觉有点累,故B项正确。
23.Henry can't attend the party ________ at Tom's house at present because he is preparing tomorrow's presentation.
A.hold B.to hold
C.to be held D.being held
答案:D
解析:Henry在准备明天的报告,因此不能去Tom家参加晚会。被修饰词party与hold之间构成被动关系,故排除选项A和B;从时间状语at present知要用进行时,故D项正确。
24.The flowers ________ sweet in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature.
A.to smell B.smelling
C.smelt D.to be smelt
答案:B
解析:句意:植物园里那些芳香的花儿吸引着游客来感受自然之美。smell“闻起来”,它是系动词,无被动语态,故用v.?ing短语作后置定语,相当于一个定语从句,即The flowers which smell sweet...,故B项正确。
25.There will be more than 750 projects ________, creating nearly 40, 000 jobs this summer, including 15,000 in a Youth Conservation Corps.
A.started B.to be started
C.starting D.to start
答案:B
解析:projects与start之间构成被动关系,排除选项C和D;根据语境知,这些工程即将动工,故用动词不定式来表示,它含有将来时间概念。故B项正确。
26.________ by a greater demand for green products, the food company has set higher standards to ensure the quality.
A.Driven B.Being driven
C.To drive D.Having driven
答案:A
解析:分析句子知,drive与其逻辑主语the food company之间构成被动关系,故排除选项C和D;从句子谓语动词has set形式可知,drive所表达的动作发生在谓语动词动作之前,故A项正确。
27.The pop star walked out of the stage, ________ her hands elegantly to her crazy fans.
A.waving B.was waving
C.waved D.to wave
答案:A
解析:句意:那位歌星走出舞台,向她疯狂的粉丝们优雅地挥手。此处用v.?ing作伴随状语,表示与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。
28.Explosion happened in Wisconsin early this Monday, ________two visitors.
A.killed B.killing
C.to kill D.having killed
答案:B
解析:句意:星期一早些时候在Wisconsin发生了爆炸,导致两名游客死亡。由此知,此处要用结果状语,故排除选项A和D;B项表自然而然的结果;C项表出乎意料的结果。因此B项正确。
29.________ 30 to 60 minutes before the voyage, the medicine is very effective against seasick.
A.Take B.Taking
C.To take D.Taken
答案:D
解析:句意:航海前半小时到一小时服用这个药的话,它对抵制晕船很有作用。take与它的逻辑主语the medicine之间构成被动关系,故D项正确。
30.As far as I know, ________ their task ahead of time, they often stayed up late into the night.
A.finishing B.having finished
C.finished D.to finish
答案:D
解析:句意:就我所知,为了提前完成任务,他们常常熬夜。此处是动词不定式作目的状语,为了强调置于句首。故D项正确。
