动词-ing形式作宾语和表语
1.动词-ing形式作宾语
(1) 作动词的宾语
Would you mind opening the window 你介意打开窗户吗?
I suggest going swimming now. 我建议现在就去游泳。
注意:
常接动词-ing形式作宾语的动词可用下面的口诀帮助记忆:
避免错过少延期(avoid, miss, postpone)
建议完成多练习(advise, finish, practise)
喜欢想象禁不住(enjoy, imagine, can't help)
承认否定与嫉妒(admit, deny, envy)
逃避冒险莫原谅(escape, risk, excuse)

(3) 在有些动词的后面,如 start, begin, continue 等既可接动词-ing形式也可接不定式作宾语,两者意义区别不大。
They continued working/to work as if nothing had happened.
他们继续工作,似乎什么也没发生过。
(4) 有些动词或动词短语后跟动词-ing形式或不定式都可以,但意思不同。接不定式一般表示动作尚未发生,而接动名词则表示动作已经发生。
remember/ forget to do. . . 记着/忘记要做……
remember/forget doing. . . 记着/忘记做过……

①主语 +have a problem/ trouble/difficulty/ a good/hard time (+in)+doing...
②主语+spend time(+in)+doing...
③主语+be busy(+in)+doing...
(7)主动形式表被动意义need, require, want 作“需要”讲时,接动词-ing 形式作宾语,相当于不定式的被动形式。
主语+want/need/require +doing/ to be done 主语需要被……
2. 动词 -ing 形式作表语
(1) 动名词(短语)作表语,表示抽象的一般性的行为,用来说明主语的内容,与主语通常是同一概念,表语和主语常可互换位置。
My favourite sport is swimming. (=Swimming is my favourite sport.)我最喜欢的运动是游泳。
(2) 现在分词(短语)作表语,表示主语的某种性质和特征,这类分词通常可以看作形容词。
The news is quite shocking,这消息很令人震惊。

作表语的动词-ing 形式,许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有:moving, interesting, encouraging, exciting, inspiring, boring, surprising, puzzling, amusing, astonishing等。这类词有“令人……的”的含义,常修饰物。

答案:
1.答案:to distinguish
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:人类有能力分清好坏,明辨是非。分析句子结构可知,空处应用动词不定式作后置定语,故填 to distinguish。
2.答案:taking
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:他选择利用这个机会去参观北京。favour doing sth,表示"较喜欢/选择做……"。
3.答案:anxiety
解析:考查名词。根据并列连词or和后面的depression可知设空处应填名词形式,故填anxiety。句意:吃大量新鲜蔬菜的女性患焦虑或抑郁的可能性要小得多。
4.答案:to age
解析:考查动词不定式。have a tendency to do sth.有做某事的倾向。故填to age。句意:有些人认为,女性的身体细胞比男性的衰老得更慢。
5.答案:distracting
解析:考查动名词。prevent sb. from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”。故填distracting。句意:我们的老师尽全力阻止学生在课堂上分散注意力。
6.答案:embarrassed
解析:考查形容词。句意:既紧张又尴尬,他低下了头,不知如何是好。设空处和and前面的Nervous是并列成分,所以此处应用形容词,句子的主语是he,故填形容词embarrassed,意为“难堪的,尴尬的”。“Nervous and embarrassed”为形容词短语作状语。
7.答案:lowered
解析:考查过去分词。句意:男孩低着头,避免与老师目光接触。此处是“have+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,宾语his head和lower之间是被动关系,故应用过去分词。故填lowered。
8.答案:cycling
解析:考查动名词。be occupied in doing sth.忙于做某事。故填cycling。句意:他忙着和他的朋友们沿着风景优美的路线骑自行车。
9.答案:to practice
解析:考查动词不定式。employ sth.to do sth.意为“利用某物来做某事”。故填to practice。句意:我决定利用一切机会来练习英语口语。
10.答案:to travel/travel(l) ing
解析:考查bother的用法。bother to do/doing sth.意为"费心做某事",为固定用法。
核心素养对接高考
一、阅读理解
A lot of people ask this question: "Why is body language so important " Studies have shown that in the process of communication, nonverbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than the actual text. This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say". Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to do preparations for your interviews, and nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can't integrate with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
"People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted," academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that “our body language will also affect our perception(感知) of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will inadvertently(不经意地) receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself".
Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any objects or have a hunched back. Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture(姿势)—of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life. Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior, which could help you achieve better results. So, every time you are nervous or feel that you can't do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself "Fake it till you become it!"

A. What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B. Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
C. We should attach great importance to body language.
D. Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
2. According to Amy Cuddy, why is body language important to us
A. It decides whether we are promoted.
B. It influences people's impression of us.
C. It makes us look more authoritative.
D. It helps people understand who we are.
3. What does the underlined word “hunched” possibly mean
A. Broken down. B. Tied behind. C. Bent forward. D. Straightened up.
4. Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A. New arrivals in the workplace. B. Body language researchers.
C. Working adults to be promoted. D. Viewers of a TV talk show.
二、七选五
We all know that most communication is nonverbal, but did you know that the same body language can mean something totally different based on culture ①________.

③________
“Rules” on physical contact are very complex and usually differ. But in general, people from high contact cultures such as Southern Europe tend to stand close when speaking. ④________. Those from medium contact cultures stand quite close when speaking and will occasionally make physical touch, while those from low contact cultures stand farther apart and generally avoid physical touch.

答案以及解析
一、阅读理解
1.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。由开头的提问“为什么肢体语言如此重要 ”以及后续的回答可知,本段主要阐述肢体语言的重要性,告诉我们应该非常重视肢体语言。故选C。
2.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据题干中提及的人物Amy Cuddy可定位至第三段,由第三段中Amy Cuddy说的话“People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives可知,Amy Cuddy认为人们通常从肢体语言判断一个人,肢体语言影响他人对我们的印象,并且这些判断结果直接影响生活,故选B。
3.答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。下文“Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture(姿势)”建议你应该试着保持你的身体放松,你甚至可以以一个相对权威的姿势站立。instead表示转折,结合画线词前的“try not to lean on any objects”可推知,此处表示不恰当的姿势(尽量不要靠在任何物体上或者驼背),结合选项可知应选C。
4.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think.”和最后一段中的“Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life.”可知,文章探讨的是肢体语言在职场中的重要性,且部分语句直接以第二人称与读者交流,给出一些建议,因此推断文章的目标读者是职场新人。故选A。
二、七选五
答案:DEBAG
解析:①考查上下文的承接及逻辑关系。该选项承接前一句中的“the same body language can mean something totally different based on culture”,同时又引起下文。故选D项。
②考查与上文的承接及逻辑关系。前一句提到:在中东,只有同性之间才会有眼神交流。该选项中的otherwise承接上文,构成转折的逻辑关系,该句的意思为"否则,(异性之间眼神交流)就非常不合适了。"故选E项。
③考查小标题。该段第一句中的"physical contact"、第二句中"high contact cultures"和"stand close"、最后一句话中"medium contact cultures stand quite close"、"occasionally make physical contact"、"low contact cultures stand farther apart and
generally avoid physical contact"可以看出,该段主要介绍了关于身体碰触及相距距离的肢体语言。故选B项。
④考查上下文的承接与逻辑关系。上句中提到了"people from high contact cultures",下句中提到了"Those from medium contact cultures"和"those from low contact cultures ",因此本段介绍了三种不同的关于身体碰触方面的文化。关于相距距离三种文化的表现分别为"stand close"、"stand quite close"、"stand farther apart"横线后提到了其中的两种文化在交流时"occasionally make physical touch"和"generally avoid physical touch"因此,横线处也会提到身体碰触的问题。故选A项。A项中的also也与上一句构成承接关系。
⑤考查主题句及与下文的逻辑关系。本段提到的手势有: "OK"、"the thumbs-up sign"、"curling(弯曲) your index finger to signal someone over",这几种常见的手势在一些国家并不是通常所表示的含义,甚至有时候会"be punished under the law"。因此,答案为G选项,句意为"在一个国家常见的手势在另一个国家可能是不适合的"。
三、书面表达
答案:
Body Language
Good morning, everyone! I'm glad to have the chance to share my view on "Body Language". Body language is of great importance when it comes to communicating with others. On various occasions, it conveys more than the words we speak. Accordingly, proper body language assists us in leaving a good impression on others.
As for me, I prefer to smile when communicating with someone. A smile can narrow the distance between us. It goes without saying that it is much easier for us to make approaches to people with a smile. Besides, a smile makes our communication joyful.
