　　本单元语法——动词的-ing形式和不定式

　　1．Do you mind __________ alone at home?

　　A．Jack’s being left

　　B．Jack leaving

　　C．Jack having left

　　D．Jack to be left

　　解析：选A。mind后跟动词-ing形式作宾语，且Jack和leave之间为被动关系，故用其被动形式。

　　2．After a month’s training of working long hours in the desert，we are made completely used __________ in the open air.

　　A．to eat

　　B．to eating

　　C．of eating

　　D．eat

　　解析：选B。句意：经过在沙漠中一个月的数小时工作训练之后，我们已经完全习惯于在户外吃饭了。used to eating是过去分词作主语补足语，意为“习惯于……”。

　　A．feel；do

　　B．feeling；doing

　　C．feel；doing

　　A．singing

　　D．to sing

　　解析：选B。as引导的原因状语从句的主语为it，即歌曲，与sing构成被动关系，即“歌被唱”，故应用过去分词。

　　A．it to be

　　B．there to be

　　C．that to be

　　D．to be

　　解析：选B。考查非谓语动词。句意：在考试之前，大多数学生期待有更多的复习课。动词expect后通常接动词不定式作宾语或接复合宾语。因此表示“期待有某种情况”就用“expect there to be sth.”结构。

　　7．If you are found __________ in the schoolyard，you __________ by the teachers.

　　A．smoking；are blamed

　　B．smoke；are punished

　　C．smoking；are to blame

　　D．smoking；are to punish

　　A．Not having come；of being

　　B．Having not come；to be

　　C．Having not come；of being

　　D．Not having come；to being

　　9．Having been attacked by terrorists，__________.

　　A．doctors came to their rescue

　　B．the tall building collapsed

　　C．an emergency measure was taken

　　D．warnings were given to tourists

　　解析：选B。现在分词短语作状语，其逻辑主语就是句子的主语，被恐怖分子袭击的不可能是an emergency measure(紧急措施)或者warnings(警告)，也不可能是doctors，因为医生是来救援的，只能是the tall building。

　　10．(2017·南京模拟)________the working efficiency，the boss allows the employees to have a coffee break.

　　A．Improving

　　B．To improve

　　C．Having improved

　　D．Improved

　　解析：选B。考查非谓语动词的用法。根据题意可知，这里应用动词不定式表示目的。句意：为了提高工作效率，老板允许职工喝杯咖啡休息一下。

　　1．(2017·兖州高三检测)I found him sitting in his chair，completely ________a magazine.

　　A．absorbing　B．being absorbed in

　　3．—How about the book you are reading now?

　　—Excellent indeed.You can find many problems we have come across ________ in it.

　　A．covered

　　B．covering

　　C．are referred

　　D．referred

　　解析：选A。句意“——你现在正读的那本书怎么样？——真的非常好，你会发现我们遇到的许多问题都包含其中”。we have come across是定语从句，修饰many problems。本题考查的是find sth.done结构，problems和cover之间构成被动关系。

　　4．I hadn’t seen him for 10 years but I ________ him at first sight.

　　A．realized

　　B．spotted

　　C．watched

　　D．observed

　　解析：选B。本题考查动词辨析。realize意识到；实现；spot发现；认出；watch注视；看；observe观察。句意：虽然我已经10年没有见他了，但我第一眼就认出了他。故只有B项符合句子需要。

　　5．(2017·北京东城区示范校高三模拟)To go abroad to study，you should________master the language.

　　A．belonged；calling

　　B．belongs；called

　　C．were belonged；calling

　　D．belonging；called

　　解析：选D。第一空belong与名词house为主动关系，所以用belonging作定语；第二空call与名词gentleman为被动关系，所以用called作定语。句意为：2008年的夏季，我是佣人，在一所大房子里做事，这房子属于一位先生，叫Major Donthorne。

　　7．People have always been ________ about how living things on the earth exactly began.

　　A．strange

　　—He’s signed up but he’s considering________.

　　A．not to go

　　B．not going

　　C．not go

　　D．against going

　　9．The bell________the end of the period rang，________our heated discussion.

　　A．indicating；interrupting

　　B．indicated；interrupting

　　C．indicating；interrupted

　　D．indicated；interrupted

　　解析：选A。indicating the end of the period这个现在分词短语作bell的定语；interrupting our heated discussion这个分词短语作伴随状语，起补充说明作用，这两个词与主语bell是主谓关系，所以都用现在分词形式。记住，一个句子没有and，but这种连词连接的话只能出现一个动词性质的词来作谓语，多出来的动词只能转换成分词形式，比如这里rang是中心动词，所以interrupt和indicate只能变成现在分词。

　　10．It is reported that three students were________in the unexpected accident.

　　A．injured

　　B．wounded

　　C．cut

　　D．harmed

　　解析：选A。injure主要指意外事故中损害健康、容貌等，强调功能的损失。句意为：据报道有三名学生在突如其来的事故中受伤。

　　A．scolded

　　B．to scold

　　C．scolding

　　D．being scolded

　　解析：选D。avoid，admit，mind等动词用动词ing形式作宾语，又因为表示被动，所以用ing的被动形式。句意为：为了避免被父母责骂，这个男孩决定不将真相告诉他的父母。

　　(Mr.Jones，the owner of a farm，was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he raised.The animals were excited to be free and independent.More importantly，they were masters of their own and，of course，their farm.The animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.)

　　THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS

　　1．Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.

　　2．Whatever goes upon four legs，or has wings，is a freind.

　　3．No animal shall wear clothes.

　　4．No animal shall sleep in a bed.

　　5．No animal shall drink alcohol.

　　6．No animal shall kill any other animal.

　　7．All animals are equal.

　　It was very neatly written，and except that “friend”was written “freind” and one “S” was the wrong way round；the spelling was correct all the way through.Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others.All the animals nodded in complete agreement，and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the commandments by heart.

　　“Now，comrades，”cried Snowball，throwing down the paintbrush，“to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”

　　But at this moment the three cows，who had seemed uneasy for some time past，let out a loud lowing.They had not been milked for twentyfour hours，and their udders were almost bursting.After a little thought，the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully，their trotters(蹄子) being well adapted to this task.Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.

　　“What is going to happen to all that milk？”said someone.

　　“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food，”said one of the hens.

　　“Never mind the milk，comrades！”cried Napoleon，placing himself in front of the buckets.“That will be attended to.The harvest is more important.Comrade Snowball will lead the way.I shall follow in a few minutes.Forward，comrades! The hay is waiting.”

　　So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest，and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

　　1．Who is the leader of the animals?

　　A．Snowball.B．Jones.

　　C．Napoleon.

　　D．Cows.

　　解析：选C。Napoleon指挥动物们在Snowball的带领下去割草，并说它自己随后便会赶到，并且当它说了“Forward，comrades！The hay is waiting.”这句话后，所有的动物都出发去割草了。由此可推知，它应该是动物们的头领。

　　2．When does the story take place?

　　A．In spring.

　　B．In summer.

　　C．In fall.

　　D．In winter.

　　解析：选C。根据文章中Snowball说的“‘Now，comrades，’．..‘to the hayfield！Let us...get in the harvest more...’”可知，这是在秋天的收获季节。

　　3．What can we infer from the story?

　　A．The animals are having a revolution.

　　B．The animals are doing a play.

　　C．The animals don’t think they are equal.

　　D．The animals will live a harmonious life.

　　解析：选A。根据文章内容可知，动物们将饲养他们的主人Mr.Jones赶走，自己做了农场的主人，并制定了七条规定。因此A项正确。

　　4．Who is indicated as the animals’ enemy?

　　A．The chicken.

　　B．The human being.

　　C．The cow.

　　D．The pig.

　　解析：选B。根据动物制定的七条规定可知，它们的敌人是人类。

　　Mark Twain was a famous American writer.He wrote many stories and many of them were very funny.These stories are still read by many people all over the world.Besides writing，he also liked hunting and fishing very much，so one year he went to Maine (缅因州) for a holiday and spent three very pleasant weeks in the woods there.

　　When he had to go back home，he went to the station with his baggage.There he asked a porter(搬运工)to put it into the train.Then he got into the smoking car and sat down in one of the comfortable seats there.The car was empty when he got in，but a few minutes later，another man got in and sat down on the seat opposite his.Mark Twain looked at the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant.However，it would

　　be impolite to say nothing in that situation，so he said good morning to the man，and they began to talk.

　　First they talked about the heavy snow and then they talked about Maine.The stranger said，“We have some beautiful woods in Maine.It would be a pity to come to Maine without spending some time there.I suppose you have been in our woods，haven’t you？”“Yes，I have，”answered Mark Twain.“I’ve just spent three weeks there and I had a very good time，too.And let me tell you something.Although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine at this season，I’ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish with my baggage in this train.I like to eat fish，so I packed it in ice to take it home with me.May I ask who you are，sir？”

　　The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered，“I’m a police officer.My job is to catch people who hunt and

　　fish during the wrong seasons.And who are you？”

　　Mark Twain was surprised and frightened when he heard this.He thought quickly and then answered，“Well，I’ll tell you，sir.I’m the man who tells the biggest lies in America.”

　　Christmas was just a week away and I had five people left to shop for but only three dollars.

　　“Let’s set a price limit on our gifts this year，” I suggested to my best friend Joanie.

　　“That’s a good idea，” Joanie agreed.“How about something over five dollars？”

　　“How about sixty cents？” I felt like the biggest cheapskate in the world.

　　“I guess this is where I’m supposed to say it’s not the gift but the thought that counts，” Joanie smiled.

　　It is almost impossible to buy anything under sixty cents，so it was really going to have to be very small gifts with very big thoughts.

　　Finally，Christmas Day arrived.I gave my mother a candle with a note that said，“You are the brightest light in my life.” She almost cried when she read the note.

　　I gave my brother a wooden ruler.On the back of it I had painted，“No brother in the world could measure up to you.” He gave me a bag of sugar and wrote on it，“You’re my sweet sister.”

　　For Joanie，I painted a pair of shoes with a note that said，“No one could ever fill your shoes.”She thanked me and said I always tickled (使……高兴) her and made her laugh.

　　To my other two friends，I gave Annie a paper fan and a note on it，“I’m your biggest fan.” I gave Helen a calculator that cost one dollar and

　　I painted a message on the back，“You can always count on me.”

　　My mother knows she is the most important person in my life.My

　　brother thinks I’m sweet.Joanie thinks I’m funny and make her laugh，which is important because her dad moved away last year and she misses him and is sad sometimes...
