重點語法精講：Olympic Games

　　1.The Olympic Games， ______ in 776 B.C，didt include women players until 1919.

　　A.first playing B.to be first played C.first played D.to be first playing

　　析：根據題干，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.

　　A.making B.makes C.made D.to 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A.making，可作狀語，表結果。再舉一現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.

　　A.to be taken B.to take C.being taken D.taking

　　析：根據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.

　　A.to wash B.washing C.wash D.to be washing

　　析：根據be made to do sth.句式，可定答案為A.

　　5.The patient was warned ______ oily food after the operation.

　　A.to eat not B.eating not C.not to eat D.not eating

　　析：根據warn sb.(not)to do sth.句式，可排除B、D兩項；又根據非謂語動詞的否定式not總是在首位的規律，又可排除A，而定C.

　　6.——I usually go there by train. ——Why not ______ by boat for a change？

　　A.to try going B.trying to go C.to try and go D.try going

　　析：此題可根據why not后直接跟原形動詞規律而一舉確定正確答案為D.若將B項改為try to go，則要根據其與try going意義之別來確定答案。依據題干對話內容，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

　　A.to invent B.inventing C.to have invented D.having 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。據此可排除B、D兩個選項。又因A表"要發明"意，不合題用，只有C表"發明了"意，才合題用，故選C.
