由于受思维定势的影响，同学们在做题时往往只注意到了表面的形式，而忽视了语言的本质。从表面上看，某种形式可能就是我们非常熟悉的句型结构，其实并不尽然。平时对于某种结构或用法不断强化的结果，使得我们一看到某种形式，便迫不及待地得出答案，此时便中计了，掉进命题人员所设计的陷阱中。在学习英语动词的用法时，尤其要注意克服思维定势影响，防止掉进出题者设置的陷阱。下面就是一些常考易错的题目，供同学们在复习时强化练习。

参考答案：
1、B，此题容易受“spend… in doing
sth.”的影响而误选A或C。spend在此句中并不作“花费”讲，而是“度过”之意，相当于live/
stay。应该用过去分词locked，作为状语表示方式和伴随。
2、C，此题A、B、D的干扰性都较大，本句意思并不是“成功的做了某事”，而是表示“如何成功的”，故应该用by表示方式。
3、C，此题容易误选B，enjoy的宾语应该是fishing or watching TV，to go是不定式作状语表示目的。
4、B，此题容易误选A和D，句子结构应该是have sb. do sth.。
5、D，此题容易误选C，本句缺少谓语动词，应该用succeeded。they had devoted themselves
to是定语从句，省去了关系代词that/ which。
6、A，proved应该是谓语动词，并不是作为stuck to的宾语，所以不能用proving。
7、B，to solve和he thought of 一起作定语修饰the theory，并不是作thought of的宾语。
8、A, 此处应该是和visited并列的谓语动词，而不是分词做状语，不能选A或C。
9、A，本句中could后省去了动词do，此处应该用不定式作状语，所以答案选to help。
10、B，大家一看到can’t help，就会想起can’t help doing，但此处意思应该是“帮助做某事”，必须用help
do/ to do sh.。
11、C，insist作“坚持说、坚持认为”意思讲时，其后的宾语从句中应该用陈述语气。
12、D，本句中suggest的意思是“表明、暗示”，其后的宾语从句不用虚拟语气，而应该用陈述语气。
13、D，此题很容易误选A，横线处应该是不定式做结果状语，而不是过去分词作宾语补语。如果把句中的easy改为easily，就可选A了。
14、B，本句中arrive应该是谓语动词，而不是look forward to的宾语，所以不能用动名词形式arriving。
15、B，横线处应该用动词不定式作目的状语，并不是作finish的宾语。
16、C，本句是“spend time doing sth.”，中间插入“as much as he could”结构。
17、C，本句是“have sth. done”结构，
18、D，此题很容易误选B，这句话的意思是“你有一些衣服要洗吗？”，应该用动词不定式的被动形式作定语。
19、C, 此题容易误选D，本题考查的并不是“prevent sth/ sb from
doing”这一固定搭配，应该用动词不定式表示目的，意思是“消防队员所做的工作目的是使环境更安全”。
20、B，此题容易误选A，此处应该是分词的独立主格结构作状语，表示伴随。而不是作谓语动词。
21、B, 此题考查的是with的复合结构，用过去分词bought作补语，而不是作need的宾语，所以不能选C。
22、B，此题考查的是分词的独立主格作状语，表示原因，不能用谓语动词，故不能选A。
23、D, 此题考查分词的独立主格结作状语。
24、B，过去分词作定语，并不是谓语动词，不能选A。
25、A，此题考查分词的独立主格结，并不是句子，故不能选B和C。
