以上摘自2023年高考英语新全国卷1阅读理解A。
请问句中的 including 到底是介词还是现在分词?
句中的 including 宜理解为介词,而非现在分词。
原因很简单:如果将 including 宜理解为非现在分词,根据英语语法,现在分词作状语时,其逻辑主语应该就是句子主语,而本句中的 including 的主语显然不是句子主语 we。
其实,一般词典都收录有 including 用法介词的用法。如:
Including Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I've got a week off work. 包括圣诞节和节礼日在内,我可以休假一个星期。
The good news delighted everyone, including me. 好消息让每个人都开心,包括我。
I've got three days' holiday including New Year's Day. 包括元旦在内我有三天假。
We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, including basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes.
解答:如果一定要把“including”当作现在分词理解的话,可以理解为现在分词作非限制性定语,由于include(包括/包含)属于静态动词,静态动词现在分词作定语,相当于一般体定语从句作定语即,which include basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes.
【1】We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, including basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes.【现在分词作定语】
备注:including.....and children’s bikes为现在分词作非限制性定语,修饰前面的名词“the newest bicycles”。
【2】We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, which include basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes.【定语从句作定语】
备注:which include.....and children’s bikes为非限制性定语从句作定语修饰前面的名词“the newest bicycles”。关系代词which指代先行词“the newest bicycles”并在定语从句作主语。

楼上陈老师和蒋老师已解答得非常好。我在此补充一下。
如果查外版词典,including 大都是列在介词项下,说明看作介词已是共识。
夸克等著的《英语语法大全》(A Comprehensive Grammar of the English
Language)提到 including
为“边缘介词”(marginal preposition)(P667):
作为介词的 including
可以作同位语的“标记词”(indicator),用于举例(P1307-1308):
including 用于举例时,国内薄冰和章振邦二位都采纳“标记词”的说法。
