高二英语人教课标选修6非谓语动词专项练习

高二英语（非谓语动词）

例1、The discovery of new evidence led to _________.

A. the thief having caught

B. catch the thief

C. the thief being caught

D. the thief to be caught

答案为C。

【解析】lead to这个词组中to是介词，后面跟名词，于是B被排除，the thief是动名词逻辑上的主语，构成动名词的复合结构，与catch之间应是被动关系，故排除A。常见的带介词to的短语有：(get) be used to, look forward to，look up to, stick to, object to, be devoted to, pay attention to等。

例2、Though _______money, his parents managed to send him to university. A. lacked B. lacking of C. lacking D. lacked in

答案为C。

【解析】lack是及物动词，后接宾语money。his parents与lack是逻辑上的主谓关系，要用现在分词作状语。译文：虽然缺钱，他的父母亲还是设法让他上了大学。

例4、 _____ to sunlight for too much time will do harm to one's skin.

A. Exposed

B. Having exposed

C. Being exposed

D. After being exposed

答案为C。

【解析】在非谓语动词中，用动名词或不定式来作主语，而分词和介词短语不能作主语，因此A、D被排除。在这个句子中，will do是谓语，缺少主语，要用动名词作主语。expose与one's skin是动宾关系，所以要用动名词的被动式being exposed。译文：在阳光下晒太长时间对人的皮肤有坏处。

例5、____ into use in April 2000, the hotline was meant for residents reporting water and heating supply breakdowns.

A. Put

B. Putting

C. Having put

D. Being put

答案：A

【解析】put sth. into use “让……投入使用”。显然，put 和句子主语the hotline 构成被动关系，所以用表示被动的过去分词。

例6、It was unbelievable that the fans waited outside the gym for three hours just ____ a look at the sports stars.

A. had

B. having

C. to have

D. have

答案：C

【解析】动词不定式充当目的状语。

例7、With a lot of difficult problems _______, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.

A. settled

B. settling

C. to settle

D. being settled 答案为C

【解析】动词不定式to settle作为difficult problems的定语表示现在或将来要解决的难题；过去分词settle作定语表示已经解决的难题，现在分词的被动式being settled 作定语表示正在解决的难题。

例8、More and more people are signing up for Yoga classes nowadays, ____ advantage of the health and relaxation benefits.

A. taking

B. taken

C. having taken

D. having been taken

答案：A

【解析】take advantage of （利用）和句子主语More and more people 构成主动关系，且和句子谓语sign up for (报名参加)同时发生，所以选择A。

例9、 Sandy could do nothing but ________ to his teacher that he was wrong.

A. admit

B. admitted

C. admitting

D. to admit

答案为A。

【解析】该句中的but是介词，后接动词不定式。当谓语动词是do，does或did时，后接不带to的不定式；是其他动词时，后接带to的不定式。该句的谓语是could do nothing，要填动词原形admit。译文：山德不得不向老师承认自己错了。

例10、 He sent me an e-mail, ________ to get further information.

A. hoped

B. hoping

C. to hope

D. hope

答案为B。

【解析】现在分词hoping表示与send me an e-mail同时发生的动作。一些考生认为应该填不定式作目的状语。不定式作目的状语时，句子的正确形式是：He sent me an e-mail to get further information.不需要hope一词，如果要选择“hoped”时，句子的正确形式是：He sent me an e-mail and hoped to get further information。“hope”和“sent”作并列谓语。

2. D

of为介词，后应用-ing形式，且此处是there be结构。故选D。

3. A

由题意知，农田逐步消失，故应用is getting lost，表示渐进的过程；consider作考虑讲时，后应接动词的-ing形式或带有疑问词的不定式结构。故选A。

4. B

5. C

介词from后应用动词的-ing形式，且settle与problem之间存在着被动关系，故选C。

6. A

此题可采用减元法。George thought of 是way 的定语从句，可以去掉，则该句变为What is the way_____ enough money to buy the house？way的定语可用to do或of doing。故选A。

7. B

很明显答语在结构上缺少主语。To do 与-ing都可充当主语，但to do充当主语多表示某一具体的动作，且多表将来。故选B。

本题考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。award与修饰的名词medal存在着被动关系，且发生在主句动作won之前，故选A。

12. B

本题考查过去分词充当条件状语的用法。此题可采用增元法，把if从句补全为if he is well_______ ,显然，B为正确答案。

13. D

本题考查现在分词充当原因状语的用法。save这一动作发生在主句动作之前，且动作发出者为主句的主语Jane。故选D。

14. B

本题考查非谓语动词充当宾语补足语的用法。过去分词表示被动和完成，-ing形式表示正在进行；在see 、watch、make、hear等词后的宾语补足语应用不带to的不定式，表示动作的全过程。本句句意为不管我们到哪儿参观，都看到新房子正在建设，且build与houses存在被动关系；故选B。

15. B

本题考查非谓语动词充当定语的用法。start发生在过去，complete将发生在将来，且都与project存在着被动关系。故选B。

16. B

improve与much之间存在被动关系，且还未发生；若用improved，则表示已完成。故选B。

17. C

非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语要和主句的主语保持一致。to get的逻辑主语应为one(人)。故选C。

18. A

explain的逻辑主语是she，用explaining表伴随状语，the students have done at home 为定语从句，省略了关系代词that/which。故选A。

19. D

本题可采用增元法。When it is_____alone(当单独看它时)。显然，D为最佳选项。20. B

to make things worse/worse still/what’s worse更糟糕的是，是一固定短语，多充当插入成份。故选B。

21. D

22. C

know 与Dr Lillian Glass存在被动关系，应用过去分词。故选C。

23. A

not speak与to stay at his own machine，keep his eyes on his screen是并列关系，

形式应一致。故选A。

24. B

动词不定式完成时的用法有二一是表示过去完成的动作，二是表示与过去事实相反的动作。本题考查Sb is reported/said to do结构中完成时的用法。故选B。

25. D

本题考查-ing形式作伴随状语的用法。and放在began前表示sat、took与began是并列的，look发出的动作作伴随。故选D。

26. C

本题考查have sb do/doing；have sth done的用法区别。have sb do 让某人做某事，have sb doing，让某人处于某种状态，have sth done让别人做某事。故选C。

27. B

本题应跳出思维定势的干扰，不是考查spend some time doing的用法。此句的语义环境为为了不被打扰，我把自己关在书房里呆了三天。lock in my study 作伴随状语。故选B。

28. B

本题可采用减元法，把强调句型中的It was…that…去掉，就不难看出该句缺少主语。Her

being careless是-ing形式复合结构，在句中充当主语。故选B。

29. B

本题考察with+宾语复合结构的用法。用动词不定式to be settled作宾语补足语,表示动作还未发生。经理之所以这么焦急是因为有很多困难要处理。

30. B

要想被美国的大学接受，外国留学生要有较好的口语和书面语的能力。动词不定式to be accepted在句中作目的状语。

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.

They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous. Modern Art(29th century to today) At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is

高中英语选修6 Unit 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times.
