动词的­ing形式是动词的一种非谓语形式，由动词原形加­ing构成，此结构既强调动作也具有名词、形容词的性质。在句子中用作主语、表语、宾语、定语、补语和状语。本单元学习动词­ing形式作主语和宾语。 一、动词­ing形式作主语 1．动词­ing作主语时常表示一般性的、习惯性的动作或状态，动词­ing有时态和语态的变化，且作主语时谓语动词通常用单数形式。 Going to Hangzhou by train takes about 16 hours from here. 从这儿乘火车到杭州大约要16个小时。 Being laughed at in public is what you will never want to happen to yourself.被当众嘲笑是你绝对不想发生在自己身上的事情。 Still，continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. 不过，继续在精神上挑战自己、让自己的头脑保持忙碌，只能起到帮助作用。 2．动词­ing作主语时，可位于句首和句末。动词­ing位于句末时要用it作形式主语。动词­ing作真正的主语且用it作形式主语的常见句型： It is no use/no good/a waste of time/...＋动词­ing... It is a waste of time trying to persuade such a stubborn person. 试图说服这么固执的人是浪费时间。 It is no use waiting here. 在这儿等无济于事。 3．动词­ing形式和to do作主语时的区别 动词­ing形式和to do都可以作主语。动词­ing形式作主语表示比较抽象的一般行为，to do作主语往往表示具体的或一次性的动作。 Finally we will get over the idea that playing with computers and the Internet is haturally helpful. 最后我们要克服玩电脑以及互联网会对我们有所帮助这一观点。 Be careful！To play with fire will be dangerous. 小心点！玩火会带来危险。 Singing is my hobby，and to sing at my friend's birthday party is my dream. 唱歌是我的爱好，在朋友的生日宴会上唱歌是我的梦想。 To surround the enemy in such bad weather is not easy for them. 对他们来说，在如此恶劣的天气里包围敌军不容易。 [对点集训1] 完成句子 ①再跟他谈也没有什么用了。 It is useless/no use talking with him again. ②谈论这些没用的事情是在浪费时间。 It is a waste of time talking about such useless things. ③朗读是学习语言的一个好办法。 Reading aloud is a good way in learning a language. 二、动词­ing形式作宾语 动词­ing作宾语时，可位于动词之后，也可位于介词之后，此处重点讲动词­ing作动词的宾语。 常接动词­ing形式作宾语的动词及动词短语 appreciate(欣赏)，consider(考虑)，delay(耽误)，avoid(避免)，finish(完成)，imagine(想象)，miss(错过)，mean(意味着)，resist(抵抗)，risk(冒险)，suggest(建议)，mind(介意)，escape(避开)，admit(承认)，allow(允许)，give up(放弃)，insist on(坚持)，feel like(想要)，be used to(习惯于)，lead to(导致)，look forward to(期待，盼望)等动词(短语)后通常接动词­ing形式作宾语。 Do you mind passing that dictionary? 你介意把那本词典递给我吗？ I have been looking forward to hearing from you. 我一直盼望着收到你的来信。 Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger. 现在，他希望其他城市能考虑让他们的街道变得更漂亮，而不仅仅是让街道变得更大。 [巧学助记] 口诀记忆只接动词­ing形式作宾语的动词 有些动词接­ing，它们形式要记清： 推迟享受与冒险，建议想象必完成(delay，enjoy，risk，advise，imagine，finish)； 延期避免非介意，考虑宽恕不错失(put off，avoid，mind，consider，forgive，miss)； 允许抵制或放弃，坚持练习要感激(permit，resist，give up，insist on，practise，appreciate)。 [对点集训2] 单句语法填空 ①Would you mind opening(open) the window? ②The boy was lucky to escape being punished(punish)． ③We don't allow diving(dive) in the pool.

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Each May since 1956 people from across Europe and around the world have gathered around their televisions with friends and family for an evening of international entertainment(娱乐)：The Eurovision Song Contest.It may well be a fun event but perhaps it's not the shared celebration of European language that it could be.In the first ten years of Eurovision，the UK and Ireland were the only two countries to sing in English.Now English is what we expect.Is it that English is becoming，or has become the official language of music? From high streets in Hungary to supermarkets in Sweden，from bus stops in Bulgaria to parks in Poland，people listen to English­language music everywhere.And people don't just listen，they sing it too！From sporting events in Spain to nightclubs in Norway，from concerts in Croatia to fitness classes in France，people sing along to popular songs in their everyday lives，in English.But why? For one evening each year Eurovision is the dinner party of Europe.A dinner party to which each guest brings something special.Their clothing，tradition and food show their culture and their language shows the character of a nation.Although there are 50 nations with 83 languages，for Eurovision，English is the only language.Does Eurovision really represent Europe? English is an international language spoken by over 1 billion people worldwide.It is no surprise that so many musicians make music in English.Of course，music makes money and more listeners make more money.According to Ragnar Thorhallsson，singer and guitarist with the Icelandic indie band(乐队)“Of Monsters and Men”，English is simpler and is easier to make rhythms(节奏)．Could this be true? Let's remember that although English­language music is everywhere，music is not everything.As long as we continue to learn，to speak，to love，diversity(多样性) shall be valued.After all，what fun is a dinner party if the guests can't communicate(交流) or express themselves in the way they choose? [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过介绍一年一度的欧洲歌唱大赛所使用的语言——英语，以及英文歌曲当前在世界的盛行情况，探讨了英语是否已经成了音乐的通用语言。 1．What do we know about Eurovision? A．Singers sing English songs. B．It helps protect European cultures. C．It is the most popular contest in the world. D．Singers mainly come from the UK and Ireland. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段“Each May since 1956 people from across Europe and around the world have gathered around their televisions with friends and family for an evening of international entertainment(娱乐)：The Eurovision Song Contest.”可知，自1956年以来，每年5月，来自欧洲各地和世界各地的人们与朋友和家人聚在电视机前，参加一个国际娱乐之夜：欧洲电视歌唱大赛。再结合“In the first ten years of Eurovision，the UK and Ireland were the only two countries to sing in English.Now English is what we expect.”可知，在欧视最初十年里，英国和爱尔兰是唯一两个用英语唱歌的国家，现在英语已成为大家期待的语言。由最后一句的反问句“Is it that English is becoming，or has become the official language of music？(难道英语正在或者已经变成音乐的通用语言了吗？)”可以看出，欧视是歌手唱英语歌曲的一个平台，故选A。 答案　A 2．How does the writer show the popularity(广泛性) of English music in Paragraph 2? A．By asking questions. B．By giving examples. C．By making comparisons. D．By following the order of space. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“From high streets in Hungary to supermarkets in Sweden，from bus stops in Bulgaria to parks in Poland，people listen to English­language music everywhere.And people don't just listen，they sing it too！From sporting events in Spain to nightclubs in Norway，from concerts in Croatia to fitness classes in France，people sing along to popular songs in their everyday lives，in English.”可知，从匈牙利的大街到瑞典的超市，从保加利亚的公共汽车站到波兰的公园，人们到处都在听英语音乐。人们不只是听，他们也唱！从西班牙的体育赛事到挪威的夜总会，从克罗地亚的音乐会到法国的健身班，人们在日常生活中用英语演唱流行歌曲。由此可以看出，作者在第二段是通过举例说明来展示英语音乐的广泛性。故选B。 答案　B 3．What's Ragnar Thorhallsson's opinion of English? A．It is easy and beautiful. B．It should be used in all music. C．It is the best language in the world. D．It helps musicians make money easily. 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句“According to Ragnar Thorhallsson，singer and guitarist with the Icelandic indie band (乐队) ‘Of Monsters and Men’，English is simpler and is easier to make rhythms.”可知，据冰岛独立乐队“怪物和男人”的歌手兼吉他手Ragnar Thorhallsson说，英语更简单，更容易产生节奏感，因此可以看出，他认为英语歌曲简单上口，也是最押韵的语言。故选A。 答案　A 4．What is mainly discussed in the text? A．Why we should protect language diversity. B．How language and music affect each other. C．Whether English is the official language of music. D．Why Eurovision is becoming more and more popular. 解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Is it that English has become the official language of music？”可知，开头提出的一个话题就是英语是否成为音乐的主打语言。所以本文谈论的主题是英语是否成了音乐的通用语言，故选C。 答案　C B Mom wanted only one thing for her birthday.“Can you find me another copy of this song？” she asked，and handed me a worn­out cassette tape.I knew exactly what was recorded on it：My Redeemer.I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up.After so many years，the cassette tape was too worn out to be used.I promised her I would find a replacement. My Redeemer became Mom's favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973.The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist(独唱者) was.These days，I thought the song would be easy to find out.I went home and searched the Internet.Several songs with that title popped up，but none of them was the one Mom loved.I got frustrated. Mom's birthday drew near and then one day，I was driving home，listening to our local radio station.A familiar tune came on.It was My Redeemer！As soon as I could，I phoned the station.I got a line on the soloist，who was called Alan Parks.I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina.Minutes later，I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom.He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally.I gave him my address.“Red Lion，Pennsylvania？” he said.“Do you know the Logans？” “They are our neighbors！” “I've been friends with them for 25 years，” Alan said.“They'll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th.Would you and your mom come too？” We sure would.Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her，live in concert—on the evening of her 87th birthday. [语篇解读]　本文为记叙文。文章主要讲了My Redeemer这首歌曲对作者的母亲很重要，因为这首歌对作者的母亲来说是个安慰，作者的母亲希望作者能找到这首歌曲的录音带作为生日礼物送给自己，通过作者的努力，最后作者带母亲去现场听了My Redeemer主唱的音乐会。 5．Why was the song My Redeemer so important to the author's mother? A．It reminded her of the love from her husband. B．It could comfort her sad and painful mood. C．It was given to her by a very important friend. D．It was the only thing that the author's brother left her. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My Redeemer became Mom's favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973.The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.(1973年，我的弟弟蒂姆被一名酒后驾车的司机撞死后，My Redeemer成了妈妈最喜欢的歌曲。唯一能帮助她平静下来的是当地电台传来的My Redeemer深情的声音。)”可知，My Redeemer这首歌曲对作者的母亲很重要，是因为这首歌对于作者的母亲来说是一个安慰，能让她平静下来。故选B。 答案　B 6．What does the underlined part “got a line on” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Talked happily with. B．Thought a lot about. C．Made request of. D．Got information about. 解析　词义猜测题。根据上文“As soon as I could，I phoned the station.”(我第一时间给电台打电话)及画线词所在句“I got a line on the soloist，who was called Alan Parks.(这个独唱者是Alan Parks。)”可知，画线词组意为“得到一些关于……的信息”。故选D。 答案　D 7．What can we learn about Alan Parks from this passage? A．He lived in Red Lion，Pennsylvania. B．He is a kind and warm­hearted musician. C．He offered to give the author two cassette tapes.
