四、非谓语动词使用错误
: K4 f# W: ?! L1 P- ?$ |7 W非谓语动词在六级综合改错里算是一个较为令人头疼的改错类型,它包括不定式、分词、动名词。六级改错中主要出现的是非谓语动词和主要谓语动词之间的混淆,具体分为以下两种情况:
4 D! _! W9 ]+ U, X+ U/ m① 分词,主要是现在分词和过去分词的误用,如: a puzzled question → a puzzling question ; an exciting girl → an excited girl 等。
4 s8 u6 ]- @9 x7 S' Z l5 |$ r* P! P0 v② 动词非谓语形式做主语、宾语,有时需要 it 作形式主语或形式宾语。如: This is no good arguing with him.(This → it )

% J3 F3 q0 ]' w* Jwork is realized by every student.- G) L* Z m ^8 s$ @/ B; ]
分析句子结构可知:the idea是主语;is realized是谓语部分;that引导同位语从句。从句中learn a foreign language是主语,而learn是动词形式,应改为动名词“learning”。

“reconstructing”表示正在进行的动作,而根据原句可知,“skeleton”本身并不能发出这个动作,而应该为“reconstructed”,意为“the skeleton that is reconstructed”,这是过去分词作为定语。

“passed ships”表示“已经过去的船只”,当然不可能再给予警告,这不符合逻辑,应该改为passing,意为“过往的船只”,此处现在分词作定语。) M* V: u$ H& K* b

根据句意可知,这些代码所有的船只都知道,即“a code which is known to all ships”的省略形式,“knowing”表示“正在知道,了解”这个动作过程,显然不符合题意,故应该将knowing改为known。2 ]8 {: u- R, m+ V- i( `
非谓语动词的使用错误虽然不外乎不定式、分词(包括现在分词和过去分词)以及动名词三种类型,然而使用起来往往容易混淆,而且也不易区分,所以得分率通常都较低。
