1.(2010上海)That is the only way we can imagine __________ the overuse of water in students’ bathrooms.
A. reducing B. to reduce C. reduced D. reduce

答案:B
解析:本题考查非谓语动词。句意“那是我们能设想出来的,用于减少学生浴室用水过度的唯一方法”,“we can imagine”为定于从句,修饰“the only way”,中间省略了关系代词“that”;不定式“to reduce…”也是“the only way”的后置修饰语(定语),相当于“of reducing”,故选B。

2.(2009全国I)The children all turned __________ the famous actress as she entered the classroom.
A. looked at B. to look at C. to looking at D. look at

解析:此处用to look at表目的。句意:当这位著名的女演员进入教室时,所有的孩子都转过头去看她。

3.(2009北京)All of them try to use the power of the workstation __________ information in a more effective way.

6.(2009浙江)__________, the pay isn’t attractive enough, though the job itself is quite interesting.
A. Generally speaking B. On the contrary C. In particular D. To be honest

答案:D
解析:句意:说实话,这点工资没有足够的吸引力,但工作本身还是非常有趣的。To be honest往往引导转折句,其他选项明显不符合题意。

7.(2009四川)He told us whether __________ a picnic was still under discussion.
A. to have B. having C. have D. had

答案:A
解析:句意:他告诉我们是否出去野餐还在讨论中。这里考查了非谓语动词的不定式结构作主语。该题目的新意在于结合了whether引导的宾语从句结构,不定时to have a picnic作从句的主语。在非谓语动词中,只有不定时和动词-ing形式可以作句子的主语。不定时结构能用于表示将来或为发生的动作,而动词-ing形式常表示一般性或常规的动作。

8.(2009湖南)Nowadays people sometimes separate their waste to make it easier for it __________.
A. reusing B. reused C. reuses D. to be reused

解析:句意:现在人们有时把废弃物分开,位的是更容易地再利用。for it …中的it指代waste,与use构成被动关系,注意句型“主语+动词+it+形容词+for…+to do / to be done”中的不定式结构的运用。

9.(2009安徽)The play __________ next month aims mainly to reflect the local culture.
A. produced B. being produced C. to be produced D. having been produced

10.(2009山东)We are invited to a party __________ in our club next Friday.
A. to be held B. held C. being held D. holding

答案:A
解析:句意:我们被邀请参加下周五在我们俱乐部举行的聚会。hold与party为动宾关系,所以hold应用被动形式;to be held作后置定语,表将来,修饰a party。
