Ⅲ.佳句填空 1．You may find ________ astonishing that Charlie ________(teach)to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 你或许会对此十分惊讶，那就是卓别林刚学会说话就被教着唱歌，刚能走路就被教着跳舞。 2．Unfortunately his father died, ________(leave)the family even ________ ________， so Charlie spent his childhood ________(look)after his sick mother and his brother. 他的父亲不幸去世，使他的家境更加贫困，因此卓别林童年的时光在照顾生病的母亲和弟弟中度过。 3．______ ______ ______ ______， he began making films. 随着时间的推移，他开始制作电影。 4．Charlie first picks out the laces and eats ________ as if they ________(be)spaghetti. 查理首先挑出鞋带吃起来，好像它们是意大利面条一样。 5．The acting is so convincing ________ it makes you believe that it is one of the ________(good) meals ________ has ever tasted!

Ⅳ.语法过关 ving形式作表语、定语和宾语补足语 1．The lady was so absorbed in her job that she didn't hear a customer ________(knock) at the door. 答案：knocking 考查非谓语动词。句意：这位女士如此专注于她的工作以至于她没有听到有位顾客正在敲门。hear sb.doing sth.听到某人正在做某事。
2．The traffic rule says young children under the age of four and ________(weigh) less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat. 答案：weighing 考查非谓语动词。现在分词短语weighing less than 40 pounds和介词短语under the age of four同时作定语，修饰children，因为children和weigh是逻辑上的主谓关系。
3．The church ________(date) from the 18th century is under repair at present. 答案：dating 考查非谓语动词。句意：建于18世纪的那座教堂目前正在被修缮。date from的意思是“追溯到，始于”。the church与date from之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用dating。此句可以转化为“The church that/which dates from the 18th century is under repair at present.”。 4．A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady ________(follow) him around. 答案：following 考查非谓语动词。notice sb.doing sth.注意到某人正在做某事。 5．The driver braked hard to avoid ________(hit) a child coming in his way. 答案：hitting 考查非谓语动词。此处谓语动词avoid后面要跟动名词作宾语，类似的动词与词组有enjoy，suggest，imagine，consider，dislike，risk，insist on，get used to，can’t help等。
