經(jīng)典例題解析：

1．The Olympic Games, ______ in 776 B.C,did’t include women players until 1919.
playing ? be first played ? played ?? be first playing

析：根據(jù)題干，必須選表示被動的選項，故排除A、D；因B選項表“將要被舉行”意，不合題干之用，只有C選項（相當于which was first played）才合用。

2．European football is played in 80 countries, ______ it the most popular sport in the world.
?? ???? ??? make

析：B、C是謂語動詞，在此不可用。D項to make或表目的，或表“將要使得”，這都不合題干情景。只有,可作狀語，表結果。再舉一現(xiàn)在分詞作結果狀語例： The bus was held up by the snowstorm,causing the delay.公共汽車被大風雪所阻，因而耽誤了。

3．Little Jim should love ______ to the theatre this evening.
be taken ?? take ??? taken ?

析：根據(jù)this evening,應選表示將來義的選項，C、D應排除。Take后無賓語，必然要用被動式，故答案為A。

4．John was made ______ the truck for a week as a punishment.
wash ??g ??? ??? be washing

析：根據(jù)be made to do sth.句式，可定答案為A。

5．The patient was warned ______ oily food after the operation.
eat not ?? not ??? to eat ?? eating

析：根據(jù)warn sb.(not)to do sth.句式，可排除B、D兩項；又根據(jù)非謂語動詞的否定式not總是在首位的規(guī)律，又可排除A，而定C。
　　
6．——I usually go there by train. ——Why not ______ by boat for a change?
try going ? to go ?? try and go ? going

析：此題可根據(jù)why not后直接跟原形動詞規(guī)律而一舉確定正確答案為D。若將B項改為try to go，則要根據(jù)其與try going意義之別來確定答案。依據(jù)題干對話內容，乙方是建議甲方嘗試乘船變變花樣，所以答案仍為D。
　　
7．______ a reply,he decided to write again.
A.Not receiving ???B.Receiving not ? C.Not having received? ?D.Having not received

析：非謂語動詞的否定式not應置于首位，B、D皆為錯誤形式。A項不能表達先于decided的動作，只有選C項才表沒收到信在先，決定再寫信在后，所以C為正確答案。
　　
8．Charles Babbage is generally considered ______ the first computer.?
invent ??ing ?? have invented ? mvented

析：consider表“考慮”意時，其后動詞用doing形式，此處不表“考慮”，而表“認為”，這時consider后作賓語補足語或主語補足語多為to do,to have done,to be等形式。據(jù)此可排除B、D兩個選項。又因A表“要發(fā)明”意，不合題用，只有C表“發(fā)明了”意，才合題用，故選C。
