典例剖析

[例1](2004年辽宁,30)______ by the beauty of nature,the girl from London decided to spend another two days on the farm.

A.Attracting        B.Attracted          C.To be attracted      D.Having attracted

部析: 这里考查的是非谓语动词作状语。非谓语动词作状语时,其动作的发出者必须和句子的主语保持一致,即女孩被某物所吸引,排除主动形式的A、D两项;动词不定式作状语表示目的,与题意不符,排除C项。

答案:B

[例2](2004年春季上海,42)After his journey from abroad,Richard Jones returned home,______.

A.exhausting                           B.exhausted         

C.being exhausted                       D.having exhausted

剖析:过去分词作状语,其逻辑主语为Richard Jones。

答案:B

[例3] (2004年重庆,30)Laws that punish parents for their little children’s actions against the laws get parents ______.

A.worried           B.to worry           C.worrying          D.worry

剖析:本题考查非谓语动词。备选答案是动词 worry的某种形式。worry多为及物动词,意为“使……担心/着急”。此外,空中应填宾语补足语,表示宾语的动作、状态、身份等。这样的法律使父母感到担心,也就是说父母被这样的法律弄得担心。所以宾语与补足语之间有被动的主谓关系,而过去分词正好表示被动意义。

答案:A
