【高考走向】
非謂語動詞，即不定式、-ing分詞和 -ed分詞作定語的用法較靈活,是高考重點考查內容之一。
高考對非謂語動詞作定語的考查主要包括以下幾個方面的內容：
1．不定式作定語；
2．-ing分詞作定語；
3．-ed分詞作定語。
【典型例題】
1．(北京2000, 單項填空)The picture _______ on the wall is painted by my nephew.
A. having hung B. hanging C. hangs D. being hung
正確答案：B 根據題干判斷，句中需要一個既作定語又表狀態的非謂語動詞，所以選B。
2．（NMET97，單項填空）The Olympic Games,______in 776 B.C., did not include women
players until 1912.
A. first playing B. to be first played
C. first played D. to be first playing
正確答案：C 此題考查分詞作非限制性定語的用法，有被動意義，動作已完成，所以選C。
3．（NMET94，單項填空）The first text books _______ for teaching English as a
foreign language came out in the 16th century.
A. having written B. to be written C. being written D. written
正確答案：D 此題考查分詞的限制性定語用法，其他與例2類似，所以選D。
【知識點撥】
1．不定式作定語
�、� 不定式作定語常用于不定代詞或被the first/next/only/last等修飾的名詞和其他一些名
詞、代詞之后。其中，不定式的一般式通常表示一個將來或經常性的動作，完成式則表示
該動作發生在謂語動詞所表示的動作之前。
例如：She is always the first (one) to come and the last to leave.
② 如果作定語的不定式與被修飾的名詞有動賓關系,在不及物動詞后通常要加上適當的介詞.
例如：Let's first find a room to live in / to put the things in.
We have nothing to worry about.(=There is nothing for us to worry about.)
�、� 不定式作定語修飾一個在邏輯上是其賓語名詞時,若在句子中能找到該不定式的邏輯主語,
則該不定式多用主動表被動，否則，用被動式。
例如：I have a lot of things to do today. ( I ... do ... things)
Have you got anything to say at the meeting? ( you... say ... anything)
Here is a letter to be taken to Mr. Li.
在there be句型中，有時用主動式或被動式意思不同。
比較：There is nothing to do at present.(=We have nothing to do at present.)
There is nothing to be done at present.(= We can do nothing at present.)
2．-ing分詞作定語
�、� 單個的-ing分詞作定語一般前置,說明名詞的性質、特征或用途等,-ing短語作定語一般后
置；強調動作的單個-ing分詞也常后置。
例如：a sleeping car ( = a car for sleeping )
a sleeping child ( = a child who is sleeping )
the boy standing there ( = the boy who is standing there )
The girl singing is my classmate.
�、� -ing分詞作定語一般要求其動作與謂語動詞所表示的動作同時發生或是在說話時該動作正
在進行，否則，要用從句作定語。
例如：Do you know the boy talking ( = who is talking ) to the teacher?
Did you notice the boy sitting ( = who was sitting ) at this desk
yesterday?
The man shaking ( = who is now shaking ) hands with Mr. Li visited our
class yesterday.
比較：誤：He is the man visiting our class yesterday.
正：He is the man who visited our class yesterday.
3．-ed分詞作定語
-ed分詞作定語一般表示一個被動或已完成動作,-ing分詞表示一個主動或正在進行的動作,
-ing分詞的被動式則表示一個正在被進行的動作。
例如：a developed/developing country
He is a student loved by all the teachers.
The building being built will be the third Teaching Building of our school.
4．像定語從句一樣，分詞作定語也有非限制性的，其作用相當于一個非限制性定語從句。
例如：The students, wearing their school uniforms, marched into the playground.
The substance, discovered almost by accident,has greatly changed the world.
