Unit 20 Disability
1. How do you manage in your wheelchair?
manage意为“设法完成、能够办到、勉强维持”。既可作及物动词,也可作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,后常接名词、代词或动词不定式作宾语。
But they didn't ______ to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions.
A. try B. manage C. succeed D. do their best
分析:此处but暗示“虽然尽力了,但是没有成功”,故可排除A和D,因为try和do one’s best只表示“尽力了”,没有说明“成功”与否;succeed虽然意为“成功”,但其后不可接动词不定式,要接in doing sth. 故本题选B。
2. Some people have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities, considering them to be stupid.
-ing形式短语在句中作伴随状语。
The secretary worked late into the night, ______ a long speech for the president.
A. to prepare B. preparing C. prepared D. was prepared
分析:“为总统准备长篇发言稿”是进一步解释说明“工作到深夜”的具体内容,要用-ing形式短语,表示伴随运作。故本题选B。
consider作“认为、以为”讲时,可接含有不定式的复合结构,即consider + sb. / sth. + (to be) / to have done sth.。consider作“考虑”解时,不可直接接动词不定式,可接-ing形式,意为“考虑做某事”。
Charles Babbage is usually considered ____ the first computer.
A. to invent B. inventing C. to have invented D. having invented
分析:分析整个句意可知,此处的consider用于被动语态结构,意为“认为”,由此可排除B、D两项。“发明第一台电脑”发生在谓语动词之前,要用不定式的完成式。故本题选C。
3. Not once did we visit the city on our own.
含有否定意义的副词或介词短语如:not/ little/ seldom/
never/ by no means (决不) / on no account(决不)等置于句首,以示强调时,句子要用部分倒装语序。
Not a single song ____ at yesterday's
party.
A. she sang B. sang she C. did she sing D. she did sing
分析:not位于句首,句子应用部分倒装。故本题选C。
I finally got the job I dreamed about. Never in all my life ____ so happy.
A. did I feel B. I felt C. I had felt D. had I felt
分析:后句中never位于句首,句子要用部分倒装;纵观全句时态,可知本题应选D。
4.Rather than on a crowed bus,he always prefers ________ a bicycle.
A.ride;ride B.riding;ride
C.ride;to ride D.to ride;iding
分析: 本题考查prefer后跟动词不定式的用法。prefer表示“宁愿做A事也不愿做B事”时,有两种表达形式,即prefer doing A to dong B和prefer to do A rather than do B。例如:I prefer reading to watching TV.(我宁愿看书而不愿看电视)。或者表达为I prefer to read rather than watch TV。本题把rather than放在句首,句子意思没变,因此C为正确选项。另外还可说prefer sb.to do sth.(宁愿某人做某事),prefer sth.to sth.(宁愿某事而不愿某事)。
5.If a man ________ succeed,he inns work as hard as he。
A.will B.is to C.is going to D.should
分析:动词be与不定式连用时可表示职责、义务、意图、约定、可能性等。本题句意为“如果一个人想成功,他就必须尽力工作。”在此句中的is to表示“意图”,所以是合理的,因此选项B正确。be going to常用来表示计划或安排的事,且不用于条件句;should表示“应当”,或可用在虚拟语气句型的条件从句中;will一般不用在条件从句中,但当will表示“愿望”时,可用于条件句中,但此句中无这层意思,故A、C、D都错误。另外,be to还用来发出指示,或用来征求对方的意见。例如:The door is not to be opened.此门不得打开。(指示、命令)What’s to be don next?下一步该怎么办呢?(征求意见)
6.I would rather ________ home than _______ on in such a raining day.
A.stay;go B.to stay;to go C.stay;to go D.to stay;go
分析:本题考查would rather的用法。一般可表达为:
would rather do sth.(宁愿做某事),would rather no do sth.(宁愿不做某事),would rather do sth.than do sth.(宁愿做某事而不愿做某事),would rather sb.did sth.(宁愿别人做某事)。因此本题答案为A。
7.The missing boys were last seen _______ near the river.
A.playing B.to be playing C.play D.to play
分析:此题考查的是非谓语动词作宾语补足语的用法。某些动词see,watch,observer,hear,listen to,notice,keep,find,feel,make,smell,get,have等后跟名词或代词作宾语,再跟一个非谓语动词作宾语补足语。此句意为“看到某人正在干某事”,应该用现在分词作宾语补足语。故A为正确答案。用不定式作宾语补足语,表示动作的完成,即感觉到动词的全过程。故B和D项错误。而C项省略了to,只有在主动语态中see后面的不定式to才能省,所以C项也错误。
8.Do you know they boy _______ under the big tree?
A.lay B.lain C.layig D.lying
分析:此题考查现在分词作定语的用法。根据题意“男孩正躺在树下”,D为正确选项。lay为lie(躺)的过去式或及物动词“放”;lain为lie(躺)的过去分词;
aying为“放”的现在分词,A、B和C项均不会题意。现在分词作定语可改为定语从句,本例即为:Do you know the boy who is lying under the big tree?
另外,动名词作定语表示用途。动词不定式作定语则表示动作尚未发生或有可能发生。试比较:a swimming suit = a suit for swimming 游泳衣
a swimming man= a man who is swimming 在游泳的人
I have a letter to write this afternoon.今天下午我有封信要写。
9.What worried the child most was ________ to visit his mother in the hospital.
A.his not allowing B.his not being allowed
C.his being not allowed D.having not been allowed
分析:此题为动名词的复合结构作表语。题意为“使这个孩子最担心的是他不被允许看望在医院里的妈妈”。非谓语动词的否定形式not放在非谓语动词之前,故C项和D项错误。此题含有被动意思,故A项也错误,所以B为正确答案。
10.He can write songs and play the piano ____.
A.also B.too C.as well D.as well as
分析:答案:C项。also,too和as well都有“也”的意思。also一般置于实义动词之前而不能置于句末。too用予肯定句中,位置不固定。as well指除此以外,还有别的。
