2、e of mail_for her.(2013辽宁,28)Awaited Bto wait Cwaiting Dwas waiting答案C解析考查非谓语动词。句意为:Laura出差巴黎一周多,当她回家时,有一堆邮件在等着她。分析句子可知,空格处用作后置定语修饰mail,且mail与wait之间为主动关系。waited为过去分词,表示被动或完成;to wait为不定式,表示未发生的动作;waiting为现在分词,表示主动和正在进行;was waiting为过去进行时的谓语部分,而句中不缺少谓语。故选C项。3The sun began to rise in the sky,_the mounta
3、in in golden light.(2013湖南,25)A bathed BbathingCto have bathed Dhaving bathed答案B解析考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为:太阳开始在天空升起,金黄色的阳光沐浴着大山。主语the sun和动词bathe“沐浴”是主动关系,所以用现在分词短语作伴随状语。 4You cannot accept an opinion_to you unless it is based on facts.(2013湖南,29)Aoffering Bto offerChaving offered Doffered答案D解析考查非谓语动词的用法。句意为

6、want to eat there again.(2013山东,33)AHaving eaten BTo eatCEat DEating答案A解析考查非谓语动词作状语。句意为:以前在那家自助餐吃过饭,蒂娜不想再去那里吃了。解答本题的关键是分析句子结构。句子的主语Tina与eat构成主动关系,需用doing;再根据句中的关键词before知“eat”这一动作发生在主句谓语动词“didnt want”之前,故用doing的完成形式having done,因此本题选having eaten。8_ how others react to the book you have just read crea
7、tes an added pleasure.、(2013浙江,7)AHearing BHearCHaving heard DTo be hearing答案A解析考查非谓语动词。句意为:听到别人对你刚读的一本书的反应会增加你的快乐感。you have just read为省略that或者which的定语从句, creates an added pleasure是谓语和宾语,空格处需要填一个可作主语的非谓语动词。B项为动词原形,不能作主语;C项是作状语的形式;D项表示将来进行的动作,不符合题意。A项为动名词,可作主语,故A项正确。9The engine just wont start.Someth
8、ing seems _ wrong with it.(2013重庆,34)Ato go Bto have goneCgoing Dhaving gone答案B解析考查非谓语动词。动词seem后只能接不定式,不接doing,故排除C、D两项;又go wrong动作发生在谓语动词之前,故用不定式的完成式。10I stopped the car_a short break as I was feeling tired.(2013山东,29)Atake Btaking Cto take Dtaken答案C解析考查非谓语动词不定式作目的状语。根据语境,此处应用to do不定式表达停车的目的。所以答案选C
9、项。11With the couple_in a nearby town,the house seems pretty empty most of the time.Awork Bto workCworking Dworked答案C解析考查with复合结构。work 和其逻辑主语the couple是主谓关系,表示现在的状况,所以用现在分词表主动。句意为:这对夫妻在附近镇上上班,(他们的)房子大部分时间都是空荡荡的。12_to get a seat for the concert,he didnt mind standing in a queue all night.ADetermine BT
10、o be determinedCDetermined DBeing determined答案C解析过去分词作原因状语,“Determined to get a seat for the concert”相当于“Because he was determined to get a seat for the concert”。13The direct flight has proved successful,_ Taiwan another tourist destination for people on the mainland.Amade Bmaking Cmake Dmakes答案B解析从
