做状语的非谓语动词主要考查其各种形式的选择，如：
① ______ the earth to be flat， many feared that columbus would fall off the edge of the earth。(1996。6)
a。 having believed b。 believing c。 believed d。 being believed
② _______ a teacher in a university， it is necessary to have at least a master‘s degree。(1995。1)

a。 not wanted b。 no to want c。 not wanting d。 wanting not
④ ___ it or not， his discovery has created a stir in scientific circles。(1997。1)
a。 believe b。 to believe c。 believing d。 believed
从以上各题来看，考查的侧重点有：
(1)状语类别的判断
不同的状语对非谓语动词的要求不同，目的状语要求用不定式，如②。
(2)非谓语动词与句子属于之间的逻辑关系
根据主谓关系或动宾关系的不同来确定用现在分词还是用过去分词。
(3)非谓语动词的否定形式
not否定非谓语动词时置于非谓语动词之前，如③。
(4) 独立成分
有些非谓语动词的使用不受与句子主语关系的限制，称为独立成分，这类成 分只记忆即可。如：
generally speaking， judging from……， to tell the truth……， 等。
5) 做补足语的非谓语动词的选择
做宾语补足语的非谓语动词受谓语动词的限制，不同动词后的宾语补足语形式要求不同。近几年对各类宾补都有考查。如：
① they are going to have the service man ____ an electric fan in the office tomorrow。(1998。1)
a。 install b。 to install c。 to be installed d。 installed
② after a few rounds of talks， both sides regarded the territory dispute ______。(1998。6)

⑥ the sale usually takes place outside the house， with the
audience _____ on benches， chairs or boxes。(2000。1)
a。 having seated b。 seating c。 seated d。 having been seated
考查涉及到
感官动词后的宾语补足语，如③。
have， make， let， leave等特殊单词后的宾语补足语。
regard类后面的宾语补足语
with独立分句后面的
常用动词后面的宾语补足语。
6) 做表语的非谓语动词的选择
表语的考查多侧重于分词做表语形式的选择，很少有动名词的用法的考查，虽然选项中有不定式作为干扰项，只要能看出是做表语的也就不用考虑。如：
① the house was very quiet， ____ as it was on the side of the
mountain。(1999。6)
a。 isolated b。 isolating c。 being isolated d。 having been isolated
② these surveys indicate that many crimes go _____ by the police，mainly because not all victims report them。(2000。6)
a。 unrecorded b。 to be unrecorded c。 unrecording d。 to have been unrecorded
分词做表语可以做系动词be的表语，也可以做其它系动词的表语，如go， feel，seem， look， remain等等。这些系动词后非谓语动词的饿用法规则是相同的。
7) to作为介词与作为不定式符号的选择
to可以是介词，也可以用来引导不定式，四级考试中对种类用法的考查也比较多。如：
① i have no objection _______ your story again。(2000。6)
a。 to hear b。 to hearing c。 to having heard d。 to have heard
② the traditional approach ____ with complex problems is to break down into smaller， more easily managed problems。(1996。6)
a。 to dealing b。 in dealing c。 dealing d。 to deal
③ the man in the corner confessed to _____ a lie to the manager
of the company。(1997。6)
a。 have told b。 be told c。 being told d。 having told
这类考题的考查方式有两种，一是四个选项中有两个相对的选项to do something 和 to doing something，这时考查的自然是to的性质;另一种是to在题干中，如③。
8) 分词前连词的使用
分词前连词的使用是为了使分词的作用更加明了，使考生更加准确地理解试题。考查有两种情况
(1)根据连词选择适当的分词形式
michael used to look hurt and surprised when ______。(1995。1)
a。 scolding b。 to scold c。 having scolded d。 scolded
when的使用说明非谓语动词做时间状语，答案不可能是b，从scold与句子主语间的逻辑关系来看，应该是动宾关系，答案应该是d。
(2)根据状语的功能选择不同的连词
careful surveys have indicated that as many as 50 percent of
patient do not take drugs ___ directed。(1996。1)
a。 like b。 so c。 which d。 as
由上下文的意思可以看出，分词所做的是方式状语，连词应该是as。
