先请看下面两道高考题:
1. (2005年全国春)__ with a difficult situation, Arnold decided to ask his boss for advice.
A. To face B. Having faced
C. Faced D. Facing
2. (2005年湖南)_____ in a white uniform, he looks more like a cook than a doctor.
A. Dressed B. To dress
C. Dressing D. Having dressed
【解析】 正确答案为1.C 2.A。但许多学生却误选了D和C,以为Arnold与face,he与dress是主动关系。其实,这里faced和dressed都已由过去分词转化为形容词,构成系表结构,此时这种动词已不再强调动作,而是表示状态。它们常呈现“be+过去分词+prep.(by除外)或不定式”形式。为便于学习掌握,笔者现将表示状态的过去分词分类介绍如下:
