20xx届高考英语非谓语动词语法专题教案 XX年高三一轮复习金子般的学案语法部分：非谓语动词（新人教版）非谓语动词包括不定式(to do)、动名词(－ing)、现在分词(－ing)与过去分词(－ed)。它们不受主语人称和数的限制，在句子中不能充当谓语，但可以充当句子的其他成分，并且有时态和语态的变化。所以，要正确使用非谓语形式，一定要充分理解不同形式所表现的意义，要明确非谓语动词与逻辑主语之间是“主动”还是“被动(或状态)”，所表示的动作是“过去”、“现在”还是“将来”，以及和谓语动词所表示的动作是同步发生还是有先后之分。一、不定式和动名词作主语【例句观察】吸烟在这儿是禁止的。 smoking is prohibited here. (抽象) 吸烟太多对你不好。 it is not very good for you to smoke so much. (具体)

【结论1】动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作，而不定式作主语表示具体动作。【例句观察】 working in these conditions is not easy. (一般式) 在这样的条件下工作不容易。 having studied computer is an important qualification for the job. (完成式) 学过电脑是获得这份工作的重要条件。 their not being served by the waiter added to their anger. (被动式，their不可用they和them，not在doing前)没有被服务增添了他们的愤怒。【结论2】动名词和不定式作主语除了一般式和主动式，还有完成式、被动式。完成式表示该动作比谓语动词动作先发生。【完成例句】 (1)他的到来将会是很大的帮助。 his coming here will be a great help. (不可用he和him) (2) jack的突然消失使他们很担忧。 jack's suddenly disappearing made them worried. (不可用jack) 【结论3】当动名词带逻辑主语时，只可在其前加上物主代词或名词的所有格，不可以用人称代词主格和宾格，也

A．to eat；to try B．eating；trying C．eating；to try D．to eat； trying 【答案】D 【解析】考查短语固定搭配。句意：我不打算吃任何东西，但冰淇淋看起来如此的好以至于我忍不住的要试一试。固定短语短语mean to do（打算做），couldn’t help doing忍不住做。故选D。点睛：本题考查动词短语固定搭配。同学在平时学习中要多把握动词不同搭配的不同含义，本题需要区分“mean to do打算做”与“mean doing意味着做”和“can’t help to do sth.不能帮助做”与“couldn’t help doing忍不住做”之间的含义。 2． Hours of playing violent video games can affect the way the brain works, ______ damage to certain cells of brain. A．to cause B．cause C．causing D．caused 【答案】C 【解析】试题分析：考查非谓语动词。causing 现在分词作结果状语。句意：连续几个小时打暴力的电子游戏会影响大脑的工作方式，危害大脑细胞并减慢大脑的活动。故C正确。考点：考查非谓语动词 3．Life is a journey _____with hardships, joys and special moments. A．filled B．to fill C．filling D．having filled 【答案】A 【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词，句意：生命是一个充满艰辛，快乐和特别时刻的旅程。在题干中_with hardship做journey的后置定语，与所修饰的journey构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词filled。be filled with做定语的时候，可以把be去掉。也可以转换成定语从句。故选A。 4．For breakfast he only drinks juice from fresh fruit________on his own farm.
