A. performed B. performing

　　C. to be performed D. being performed

　　【分析】答案選A。現在分詞短語performed在此相當于they are performed。No matter how frequently they are performed的意思是“無論它們(指貝多芬的作品)被演奏多少次”。

　　五、用作伴隨狀語

　　1.典型例句

　　He sat in the chair reading a newspaper. 他坐在椅子上看報。

　　Don't you sit there doing nothing. 別什么也不干坐在那里。

　　He came in, followed by his wife. 他走了進來，后面跟著他的妻子。

　　2.理解技巧

　　理解“伴隨狀語”的關鍵是要理解“伴隨”二字。分詞(短語)用作伴隨狀語時，它表示的動作伴隨句子謂語動作同時發生，即句子謂語所表示的動作為主要動作，分詞短語所表示的動作伴隨性的次要動作。

　　3.高考實例

　　(1) Don’t sit there ______ nothing. Come and help me with this table. (2006湖北卷)

　　A. do B. to do C. doing D. and doing

　　(2) My cousin came to see me from the country, ______ me a full basket of fresh fruits. (2006安徽卷)

　　A. brought B. bringing C. to bring D. had brought

　　(3) Whenever he was asked why he was late for class, he would answer carelessly, always ______ the same thing. (2006江蘇卷)

　　A. saying B. said C. to say D. having said

　　(4) We often provide our children with toys, footballs or basketballs, ____A___ that all children like these things. (2006全國卷)

　　A. thinking B. think C. to think D. thought

　　【分析】以上四題答案分別為CBAA。

　　六、用作方式狀語

　　1.典型例句

　　He earns a living driving a truck. 他靠開卡車謀取生。

　　I'm returning you letter as requested. 我按要求給你退信。

　　2.理解技巧

　　分詞(短語)用作方式狀語與用作伴隨狀語的情形比較接近。有時用作方式狀語的現在分詞可以轉換成by doing sth的結構，如上面第一句也可換成：

　　He earns a living by driving a truck.

　　注：近幾年高考對分詞用作方式狀語的情形考得較少。

　　七、用作結果狀語

　　1.典型例句

　　He fired, killing one of the passers-by. 他開槍了，打死了一個過路人。

　　He died, leaving his wife with five children. 他死了，留下他妻子和五個兒子。

　　It rained and rained, vehicles bogged and bridges washed out. 雨不停地下，車輛陷入泥沼，橋梁被水沖去。

　　2.理解技巧

　　分詞(短語)用作結果狀語時，通常可轉換成并列句，如上面兩句也可轉換成：

　　He fired and killed one of the passers-by.

　　He died and left his wife with five children. (from www.nmet168.com)

　　It rained and rained, and vehicles were bogged and bridges were washed out.
