1.【答案】B
【解析】have后面可跟”宾语+不带to的动词不定式”或”宾语+-ing”或”宾语+过去分词”,例如:I had him fill out a form.我叫他填了一张表。在本句中不带to的动词不定式作宾补。又如:He had us laughing all through the meal.他使我们在吃饭的过程中自始至终笑个不停。在这里现在分词作宾补。再如:I really must have my watch repaired.我真得把表拿去修了。本句中过去分词作宾补。因为finish的非谓语动词形式与宾语report具有逻辑上的动宾关系,因此应用have sth.done结构,所以A项、C项和D项错误,而只有B项正确。
2.【答案】B
【解析】该题旨在考查非谓语动词中的独立分词结构。一般情况下,分词作状语时,应与句子的主语存在一定的逻辑关系(主谓或动宾关系),否则分词就须有自己的逻辑主语来构成”名词或代词+分词”的独立分词结构,用来表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随情况等,例如:The experiment being over,the students began their discussion.做完实验后,学生们开始讨论。Nobody having any more to say, the meeting was closed.大家都没有什么可说的了,会议也就结束了。由此可见,B项是最佳选择。英语语法要求在同一个句号前,不允许存在两个既不是并列关系、也不是从属关系的句子,故A项不正确。”名词+不定式”虽然也是一种复合结构,但它表示将来,例如:Here are the first two volumes,the third one to come out next month.这儿是头两卷,第三卷下月出版。可见C项也不正确。D项是分词的被动形式,不符合题意。
3.【答案】B
【解析】有些动词如:begin,continue,hate,like,love,prefer,proppose,start等后既可以跟动名词也可以跟不定式,差别不大。但是在强调动作是具体的某一次时,like,love,hate,prefer等词后一般使用不定式;而表示一般经常性的动作时,一般要用动名词。例如:As I lie in bed,I like to imagine that I am in a spaceship.当我躺在床上时,我喜欢想象自己正在宇宙飞船上。I like living in the city,especially in winter. 我喜欢住在城市,尤其是在冬天。
4.【答案】A
【解析】postpone意为”延缓,耽搁”,后接动名词作宾语,例如:The company postponed sending an answer to the request.该公司没有及时答复这一请求。由此可见A项是正确答案。
5.【答案】D
【解析】try后面既可接动名词,也可接带to的动词不定式,但意义有差别。接不定式时,表示”试图做某事,尽力做某事”,例如:The prisoner tried to escape without being noticed.囚犯企图趁人不注意时逃跑。而接动名词时表示”试着做某事”,例如:I tried standing on my head but it gave me a headache.我试着倒立,但这使我很头疼。由此可见,此处应选D项。
