3.作表语
动词ing形式作表语时,句子的主语常是表示无生命的事物的名词或what引导的名词性从句。表语动词ing形式与主语通常是对等的关系,表示主语的内容,此时主语和表语可互换位置。
Your task is cleaning the windows.
=Cleaning the windows is your task.

二、动词ing形式的逻辑主语
带有逻辑主语的动词ing形式称为动词ing形式的复合结构。当动词ing形式的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致时,要在动词ing形式之前加上物主代词或名词所有格,这便构成了动词ing形式的复合结构。其中物主代词(名词所有格)是逻辑上的主语,动词ing形式是逻辑上的谓语。动词ing形式复合结构在句中可作主语、宾语、表语等,分别相当于一个主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句。
Her coming to help encouraged all of us.
=That she came to help encouraged all of us.
她来帮忙鼓舞了我们。
Our only worry is his overestimating himself.
=Our only worry is that he overestimates himself.
我们唯一担心的是他高估他自己。

三、动词ing形式的时态和语态
其否定形式是在 doing前加上not。
1.动词ing形式的一般时表示的动作通常是一般性动作,即不是明确地发生在过去、现在或将来的动作,或是与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生的动作。
时态 主动语态 被动语态
一般时 doing being done
完成时 having done having been done

课时语法精讲

(1)它的一般时表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生,或在其前发生。
I appreciate being given this opportunity.
我很感谢给了我这个机会。
课时语法精讲
90

Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven and developed the skills that helped her earn a top 50 ranking among the ITF Junior division. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. “There's no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic study there.” Siwosz said.
课后课时作业(一)
114
Her desire to have a quality education led her to America. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply for fouryear schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country.
When she had earned all her credits, Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn't what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”
课后课时作业(一)
115
After one year at Baylor, Siwosz made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to her friend Lee, a former Berkeley student and keen tennis player. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer. I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了波兰女孩Siwosz(西沃兹)去美国追求自己接受高等网球教育这一梦想的故事。
课后课时作业(一)
116
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后三句“Siwosz wanted to do more with her life ... academic study there. Siwosz said.(Siwosz想利用其(有限的)生命做更多的事情,而不仅仅是打网球,这促使她寻找让她也能接受顶尖教育的机会。‘波兰没有大学体育,也没有体育文化和学术研究。’Siwosz说。)”和第二段第一句“Her desire to have a quality education led her to America.(她对良好教育的渴望促使她去了美国。)”可知,Siwosz去美国是为了接受顶尖的教育。故选D。
1.What did Siwosz go to America for?
A.Learning sports culture. B.Developing tennis skills.
C.Becoming the top player. D.Receiving a top education.
课后课时作业(一)
117

A.Because she was inexperienced at application.
B.Because she was unqualified for the education.
C.Because she was misinformed of the application.
D.Because she was misled by her friends from Poland.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“While Siwosz was talented enough ... in her home country. (虽然Siwosz才华横溢,可以在大学开始自己的网球生涯,但她只能上社区大学,因为她错过了申请四年制大学的最后期限,主要是因为她的祖国提供的错误信息。)”可知,Siwosz的祖国提供的错误信息使她错过了申请四年制学校的最后期限,因此她上的是社区大学而不是四年制的学校。故选C。
课后课时作业(一)
118
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“‘I thought it would be ... and I just wanted more.’(Siwosz说:‘我觉得这是个好主意,但它真的不是我想的那样。网球水平很高,但学术水平与之不匹配,我还想要更多。’)”可推知,Siwosz认为贝勒大学的教育是不太令人满意的。故选D。

When I was six, I was so desperate to be out in nature. I'd be transported through David's documentaries (纪录片) to all these amazing places. I did a PhD studying ants and butterflies, before getting a call from the BBC asking about my work for a show called Life in the Undergrowth. I was so excited and immediately begged, “Please let me help!”

Sir David himself came to film with me, so I got to meet him early on, and he is the loveliest person. Something was wrong with the car. He dived straight under it to try to fix it. His enthusiasm and passion was so real. The first trip I did with him was to Israel as an assistant producer, then in Madagascar. My dream came true.
Usually, we spend six weeks filming for about three minutes of TV. What usually happens is that we're going to film one thing but the animal ends up doing something else. We stay in whatever basic accommodation is the closest, because we can't waste time on the way. So it's rare that we stay in a hotel. Patience is the key, then learning and listening.

Of course you encounter animals that could hurt you. There was a moment on Planet Earth where a wolf approached me and we had to push it off with a camera. During filming for Seven Worlds we came across a beautiful but deadly snake, which casually came into our room. I took it up in a hat and put it back into the jungle. I still remember the chimps in Senegal jumped on a tree next to me and pushed it to the ground. He was like saying, “You can stay here, but if I wanted to crash you, I could.”

When we film certain animals, like lions for example, we must be vigilant. We know they will attack other creatures for their territories, but there's something fascinating in the small creatures.

解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词下一句“We know they will attack other creatures for their territories, but there's something fascinating in the small creatures.”可推知,作者在拍摄时,必须很小心,因为有些动物会袭击侵犯它们领地的人。由此可推知,画线词的意思为“小心的,谨慎的”。故选A。
5.What does the underlined word “vigilant” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Cautious. B.Strict.
C.Energetic. D.Powerful.

Michael Saul Dell was born in 1965 in Houston, Texas. While he displayed intelligence and imagination from an early age, he had little interest in school. When he was twelve years old, he operated a mailorder trading business for stamps and baseball cards, earning $2,000. At the age of fourteen, Dell got his first computer, an Apple Ⅱ and soon realized that he had a knack for taking computers apart and putting them back together. While in high school, Dell took a job delivering newspapers for the Houston Post. His aggressive selling strategies resulted in earnings of $18,000.
课后课时作业(二)
143
In 1983, when Dell entered his freshman year at the University of Texas at Austin, his parents hoped he would become a doctor, but Dell's skills lay elsewhere. In examining the personal computer, or PC industry, he noticed an opportunity to sell PCs for less, as Dell realized that he could assemble computer parts, skip the step of selling to a dealer, and go directly to the consumer. That way the consumer could buy the product for less, and Dell held on to every penny of the profits. Dell thus combined his knowledge of computers with his welldeveloped business sense and began his own business, assembling upgrade kits for personal computers.
课后课时作业(二)
144
In 1999, Dell recalled operating his new business out of his University of Texas dorm on the twentyseventh floor: “People would ride up to the 27th floor with their computers. I'd put in some memory or a disk drive, they'd pay me, and I'd send them on their way.” His earnings soon reached about $25,000 a month. After one year at the university, Dell had decided to drop out of college. His company began building PCs, starting with parts from such established computer companies as IBM and Compaq and adding elements to make the products unique. Dell continued to sell directly to consumers, a strategy that paid off in vast sums: by the end of 1984, his company had earned $6 million. Dell was off and running, leading his company to big growth year after year.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
“What's wrong? Are you well?” She asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
“I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you,” I responded. “Just the two of us.” She thought about it for a moment, then said, “I would like that very much.”

During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation. We chatted nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events of each other's life. Memories of the old days we spent together came crowding in. We talked so much and attentively that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed with delight. After a brief silence, I turned around and hugged her, saying “Mum, I love you!”

You could not imagine how happy I was to have the chance to say these words and return the favor to my beloved one before it was too late. Nothing in life is more important than your family.
