非谓语动词
一（2014安徽卷）32．While waiting for the opportunity to get , Henry did his best to perform his duty.
A. promote B. promoted C. promoting D. to promote
考察谓语动词用法 【答案】B 本题考察的非谓语动词的固定搭配“get+过去分词”，如“get burnt”被烫伤，get paid获得报酬；本句中的get promoted获得提拔。句义：在等待着背提拔的机会的时候，Herry全力以赴地尽好自己的责任。故B正确。
二（2014北京卷）25. Last night, there were millions of people _______ the opening ceremony live on TV.
A. watch B. to watch C. watched D. watching
考察非谓语动词用法 【答案】D
本句考察的是非谓语动词中的现在分词短语做定语的用法，因为动词watch与前面的名词millions of people构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以使用现在分词做定语。本句中的watching the opening ceremony live on TV相当于定语从句who were watching the opening ceremony live on TV.同时本句只是一个简单句，已经有了一个主谓结构了。句意：昨天晚上有成千上万人在电视里观看了开幕式。故D正确。
【举一反三】The lecture, ____ at 7:00 pm l ast night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes. A. starting B. being started C. to start D. to be started
【答案】A 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。
根据last night可知start已经发生，故排除C、D（不定式常表将来），B（being done）一般表进行，也排除。非谓语动词的主动语态和被动语态现在分词作定语
三（2014北京卷）28 . There are still many problems ______ before we are ready for a long stay on the Moon.
