非谓语动词包括不定式。动名词和分词。它们是高中所学的基础语法，也是高考必考内容，既是高考的亮点又是高考的热点。1995——2006年全国高考一共有23个（含全国卷1--3）。预测今年仍是高考考点。

在实际运用中,非谓语动词有一些比较细的规则和特殊用法.如果运用以下口诀,联想学习中的一些,答案时思路就会清晰的多。
一、看句中作何用,形式时态慎选择
例: European football is played in 80 countries, ______ it the most famous popular sport in the world .(NMET98)
此题答案为A.making 是现在分词,在句中作壮语,与主语European football 是主动关系, D 项是不定式的主动形式,可作目的壮语,但目的壮语前不用句号,B、C项均属语法错误.
二、看动词作搭配,约定俗成是规则
例: (1) While shopping, people sometimes can’t help _______ into buying something they don’t really need (上海96)
A to persuade B persuading C being persuaded D be persuaded
can’t help 是 “抑制不住,情不自禁”的意思,其后要接 doing 或 being done 的形式,属固定搭配,故排除 A 、D两项,从句意来看,是人们“被说服”,故答案为C。
(2) I can’t stand _______ with Jane in the same office, she just refuses ______ talking while she works.(北京2006)
A working stopping B to work stopping
C working to stop D to work to stop
can’t stand 后接 Ving 形式,表示难以忍受,refuse后用to do,表示拒绝做某事。故答案为C。
三、看句型与句意,特殊用法要记牢
例: 1 How about the two of us ____ a walk down the garden ? (MET93)
A to take B take C taking D to be taking
how / what about ＋doing (n/pron) 是固定句型,答案是C ,该句中的the two of us 是动名词taking 的逻辑主语,the two of us taking 一起构成动名词的复合结构,在句中作介词about 的宾语.
2 The research is so designed that once _____ nothing can be done to change it. (NMET2002全国卷)
A begins B having begun C beginning D begun
解析: 非谓语动词的用法,new events 与add“增加”该句中的once begun 是once it is begun 的省略句,意为一旦开始,所以答案为D.
3 ---How do you deal with the disagreement between the company and the customers ?
---The key _____ the problem is to meet the demand _____ by the customers?(NMET 2002 北京卷)
A to solving, making B to solving, made
C to solve, making D to solve, made
该题中的the key to sth./doing sth.意为“…的关键,… 的答案”, to 为介词,其后要跟名词和动名词,第二空有短语by the customers,很明显要选过去分词made,所以正确答案为B, 该句的意思是“解决这个难题的关键是满足顾客所提出的要求。”

1．Paul doesn’t have to be made__B__.He always works hard.(MET91)
A.learn B. to learn C.learned D.learning
[点击]感官动词see,watch,feel,hear,notice,observe,listen to,look at和使役动词let,make,have等后接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语,如变为被动句，不定式前要加to。
2.The chair looks rather hard,but in fact,it is very comforable to_B___.(MET’88)
A. sit B. sit on C.be sat D.be sat on
[点击]sit on与chair有逻辑关系上的动宾关系，sit是不及物动词，故需要加介词on.注意：heavy, pleasant, comfortable等一些作表语的形容词后用不定式的主动式表被动。
3. —You were brave enough to raise objections at the meeting.
—Well.now I regret__ D__that.(NMET’95)
A.to do B.to be doing
C. to have done D.having done
[点击]remember,forget和regret三词后跟动名词，表示一个过去、完成的动作；后给不定式表示一个将来是动作。
4. Mother _C___ us stories when we were young.(MET88)
A was used to tell B is used to telling
C used to tell D used to telling
[点击] 由when we were young 这一信息句判断，应用used to 表示过去常常。A 项意为“被用来去做…，B项意为现在习惯于做…。D项有语法错误。
5．We agreed _C___ here but so far she hasn’t truned up yet .(NMET95)
A having met B meeting C to meet D to have met
[点击] 由 pretend , agree , want , wish , hope , expect , decide , promise , manage, refuse 等动词后接不定式作宾语。如是不定式，应将not 放在to不定式之前。
6. The first textbooks _D___ for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16 th century .(NMET94)
A having written B to be written
C being written D written
[点击] 此题是考查过去分词作定语的用法。过去分词作定语表示一个已经被完成的动作。
7. Tom kept silent about the accident __ B__ lose his job .(MET90)
A so not as to B so as not to
C so as to not D not so as to
[点击] so as to 相当于 in order to ，否定词 not 应放在不定式 to 之前。但 so as to 不可置于句首引导目的壮语。
