托福詞匯:現(xiàn)在分詞的考法

字號(hào):

現(xiàn)在分詞
    現(xiàn)在分詞和過(guò)去分詞的主要區(qū)別在于:現(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng)意義;過(guò)去分詞表被動(dòng)意義。
    現(xiàn)在分詞較過(guò)去分詞形式靈活,除部分能接賓語(yǔ)之外,可有被動(dòng)形式(being done)和完成式(having done, having been done), 當(dāng)然being done和having been done也可理解成過(guò)去分詞變形為進(jìn)行式
    1. 現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)
    現(xiàn)在分詞常接在名詞之后作定語(yǔ),經(jīng)常可與定語(yǔ)從句替換
    如:the man sitting behind me, 相當(dāng)于:the man who is sitting behind me
    the kids running about in the garden, 相當(dāng)于:
    the kids who are running about in the garden
    單個(gè)的分詞作定語(yǔ)可放在被修飾詞之前,如:the sleeping baby, a running nose
    改錯(cuò)題中若出現(xiàn)名詞之后直接接動(dòng)詞,且之間是主謂關(guān)系,但不是句子主謂語(yǔ),此處必定有錯(cuò),可改為現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)
    例題:
    (1)
    The boiled point of any liquid is determined by the pressure of the surrounding gases.
    應(yīng)改為:boiling.
    解釋:沸點(diǎn)的英文表達(dá)應(yīng)該是boiling point. 類似的表達(dá)如: boiling water(沸水); boiled表示已完成的狀態(tài), 如boiled water意為白開(kāi)水, 即已沸騰過(guò)的水
    (2)
    The slide rule uses sliding scales with marks ---- numbers and their logarithms.
    (A) representing
    (B) represented
    (C) are represented
    (D) they are representing
    答案:A
    解釋:空格前是句子的主謂成分,空格處需要marks的定語(yǔ),C, D可先排除;B是被動(dòng)式,無(wú)法接賓語(yǔ)numbers; 因此A正確,是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語(yǔ)
    2. 現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)
    分詞還可在句中作狀語(yǔ),可放在句首、句中或句尾。現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語(yǔ)時(shí),通常都表示主語(yǔ)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作/伴隨動(dòng)作或者表示原因。
    1.現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)可以作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),相當(dāng)于when, while, as soon as等所引導(dǎo)的從句
    如:Hearing the news, he couldn’t help crying.
    = When he heard the news, he couldn’t help crying.
    2.現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)也可以表示原因,代替由since, as等所引導(dǎo)的從句
    如:Not knowing what to do about the situation, she turned to him for help.
    =Since she didn’t know what to do about the situation, she turned to him for help.
    Being so poor in those days, we couldn’t afford to go to school.
    =As we were so poor in those days, we couldn’t afford to go to school.
    3.如果分詞表示的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句動(dòng)作之前,那么此時(shí)分詞就需要用完成形式
    如:Having finished the work, she went to the park.
    =After she had finished the work, she went to the park.
    特別注意:分詞狀語(yǔ)的邏輯主語(yǔ)和句子的主語(yǔ)要保持一致
    如: Seeing from the moutain, the ocean is emrald green.
    此句是一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的句子, 因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)分詞狀語(yǔ)的邏輯主語(yǔ)和句子的主語(yǔ)要保持一致的原則, seeing的邏輯主語(yǔ)也應(yīng)該是the ocean, 而the ocean是不能自己seeing的, 應(yīng)改為Seen from the mountain.
    例題:
    (1)
    Snow aids farmers by keeping heat in the lower ground levels, thereby ---- from freezing.
    (A) to save the seeds
    (B) saving the seeds
    (C) which saves the seeds
    (D) the seeds saved
    答案:B
    解釋:thereby一詞習(xí)慣上接現(xiàn)在分詞作句子的結(jié)果狀語(yǔ),只有B符合要求
