练习8 动名词的用法
一、单项选择
从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳选。
1.What made the boy annoyed most was _______ to go sightseeing alone.
A.his not allowing
B.his not being allowed
C.his being not allowed
D.having not been allowed
【答案】B
【详解】考查动名词。句意:最让那个男孩生气的是不允许他一个人去观光旅行。本句是what引导的主语从句,根据句意,小男孩不被允许,所以用被动形式,动名词的否定在其前否定,故选B项。
2.When David had to stop due to health problems, he chose to learn to play the piano.
A.to swim
B.swimming
C.swim
D.having swum
【答案】B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:当David因为健康问题而不得不停止游泳时,他选择学习弹钢琴。分析句子结构可知谓语为had to stop,所以此处应选择非谓语动词形式;由句意“停止游泳”以及动词stop(停止)可知此处应选择动名词形式swimming,stop doing表示“停止做某事”,故选B项。
3.It is proved that the latest scientific equipment allows the sportsmen to get the best out of their training.
A.using
B.used
C.to use
D.use
【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:事实证明,使用最新的科学设备能使运动员在训练中发挥最佳作用。分析句子结构可知此处使用it作形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的主语从句,主语从句缺少主语,非谓语动词中可作主语的形式有:动名词doing或动词不定式to do,故B,D两项排除;动名词作主语时,通常表示一件已知的事或经验。不定式短语通常表示一件未完成的事或目的。由句意可知,在本句主语为“使用最新的科技设备”这件事使运动员在训练中发挥最佳作用,为已知的事,所以应用动名词作主语,故选A项。
4.–Tom, you are late for school again!
–I am sorry, but you cannot imagine _________ difficulty I had _________ up this morning.
A.which; getting
B.which; got
C.what; getting
D.what; got
【答案】C
【详解】考查宾语从句和动名词。句意:—汤姆,你又迟到了!—对不起,但是你不能想象我今天早上起床有多么困难。分析句子可知,从句是宾语从句,从句中缺定语,根据句意引导词用what;短语have difficulty(in)doing sth.中in 是介词,其后接动名词作宾语。故选C项。
5.If you apply yourself to ______ about the problem, you will soon solve it.
A.think
B.be thought
C.thinking
D.have thought
【答案】C
【详解】考查动名词。句意:如果你全身心投入到这个问题上来,你很快就会解决了它。分析句子结构及根据句意可知,句中运用固定用法 apply oneself to doing something,意为“致力于做某事”。to为介词后接动名词。故选C项。
6.You can't imagine what difficult we had _______ home in the snowstorm.
A.find
B.found
C.to find
D.finding
【答案】D
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:你根本想象不出我们在暴风雪中找家有多么困难。题干中difficulty后接定语从句“we had _______(find) home”;将先行词带入到定语从句,从句中有短语“have difficulty doing sth(做某事有困难)”;从句完整的表达为“we had difficulty finding home”。故选D。
7.It’s necessary to be prepared for a job interview. _____ the answer ready will be of great help.
