3.动词 ing形式作宾语时也可有自身的逻辑主语。
“逻辑主语+动词 ing”是动词 ing形式的复合结构,动词 ing形式的复合结构作宾语时,逻辑主语的常见形式:
(1)逻辑主语有生命时:名词所有格、名词原形、形容词性物主代词、人称代词宾格
I am astonished at Mary/Mary's suddenly becoming rich.
我对玛丽的暴富感到惊奇。
Would you mind my/me using your cell phone
你介意我用你的手机吗?
(2)逻辑主语无生命时:原形

我一点儿也不知道窗户开着。
4.动词-ing形式与动词不定式作宾语的区别
(1)love, like, hate 等动词后可跟动词 ing形式和动词不定式作宾语。动词 ing形式通常表示习惯性、经常性的动作,动词不定式则表示一次性的、具体的动作。
He likes swimming.
他喜欢游泳。
He doesn't like to go to swim this afternoon.

Your house needs repairing (=to be repaired).
你的房子需要修缮。
Your coat wants washing (=to be washed).
你的外套该洗了。
(1)单句语法填空
①I first considered writing (write) to her but then decided to see her.

He__made__a__quick__exit__to__avoid__meeting__his__mother.
⑤我认为读书不求甚解是没用的。
I__think__it__useless__reading__without__understanding.
二、动词 ing形式作表语
1.动名词(短语)作表语
作表语的动名词(短语)所体现的是名词的特性,用于对主语的内容进行解释说明,且可以转换到句首作主语。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
=Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽可能使报告厅保持干净。
What I am tired of is waiting here alone.
=Waiting here alone is what I am tired of.
我厌烦独自在这里等待。
2.现在分词(短语)作表语
作表语的现在分词(短语)是形容词性的,表示主语的性质或特征,常用来作表语的现在分词有astonishing, amusing, puzzling, shocking, confusing, disappointing, boring, encouraging, inspiring, moving, tiring, interesting, surprising等,主语和表语不可换位置。
The problem is quite puzzling.
这个问题很令人困惑。
The result of the accident is shocking.
这一事故的后果令人震惊。
3.动名词(短语)作表语与动词不定式(短语)作表语的区别

我们的工作是盖房子。
Our main task now is to build this house. (具体的某次行为)
我们现在的主要任务是盖这间房子。
His wish is to become an artist.(将要发生的事)

动词 ing形式作表语时,其逻辑主语往往是句子中的主语,但用作表语的 ing形式也可带有自己的逻辑主语。 What worries me most is her staying up too late every night. (staying up too late every night的逻辑主语是her) 最让我担心的是她每晚都熬夜到太晚。
(1)单句语法填空

Humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We've been doing this for tens of thousands of years.
Apes (猿) have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off of me”.
Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos (two kinds of apes) for years. Though the two groups of apes use different signs in a few cases, they share over 90% of the same gestures.
The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. For the videos, the researchers chose 10 of the most common gestures used by chimpanzees and bonobos. Thousands of people played the game.
The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. That's twice as good as people would be expected to do by chance. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the gesture of wiping the mouth, which people correctly guessed meant “give me that food”.
The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it's not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They're also curious about how humans understand other animals, like dogs.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。科学家们发现人类能够理解大部分类人猿的动作手势,但原因尚待继续研究。
1.What does the underlined word “gestures” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Defence. B.Thoughts.
C.Knowledge. D.Movements.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“They use about ... means ‘help pick insects off of me’.(它们用大约80种不同的手势来表达它们的意思。例如,一个被研究人员称为‘大声抓’的手势意味着‘帮我把昆虫从我身上抓下来’。)”可知,猿通过身体的动作来表达它们的意思,由此可推知,画线词gestures的意思是“身体的动作和手势”。故选D。
2.What were people asked to do in this study
A.Answer questions about apes.
B.Watch videos and choose answers.
C.Teach apes to make body movements.
D.Communicate with two kinds of apes.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“People watched short videos ... out of four possible answers.(人们观看了猩猩做手势的短视频。然后,他们必须从四个可能的答案中选择正确的手势含义。)”可知,在这个研究中,人们被要求观看视频并选择答案。故选B。

4.What can be the best title of this text
A.Humans and Apes Share an Ancestor
B.Apes Have Well developed Language

B
People often use body language to decode (解读) lying. People may say one thing and be signaling another, so body language is a useful way to find out the truth. One of the ways to show someone is lying is blinking: The idea is that blinking faster indicates a potential lie.
So, is blink rate a reliable indicator of how likely the person is to be telling the truth What does the research show
Researchers studied competitors on a TV quiz show. The research demonstrates beautifully the danger in identifying specific physical responses as “tells” of a particular thought or intention. First of all, people do blink faster under stress. But that simply indicates a stress response, not a declaration (声明) of the intention behind the stress. Moreover,
it turns out that blinking also slows when you are thinking hard and can speed up when you are signaling that you are hearing a question or getting ready to give an answer.
In this way, blinking is like so many other individual bits of body language: It is multi-determined. We may cross our arms because we're defensive or because we're tired, cold, or ready to quit.
But in more familiar relationships in the workplace or beyond, most humans are reasonably good at reading the signals of people whom they know well-long-time colleagues, friends, family, especially when they are moved by a strong emotion. For example, when your husband runs into the house excited about a raise, you can pick up that something good is going on. That's because you know how that person normally acts, and thus spotting a change from the norm is relatively easy and reliable.
Rather than trying to make a list of tells, seek to understand people in your world by paying attention to both what they say and how they say it. Over time, you can become a reliable reader of the body language of the people you live and work with.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了如何有效地解读肢体语言,并指出了其局限性。
5.What is the purpose of the research
A.To illustrate why people see body language as “tells”.
B.To present the relation between blinking and telling lies.
C.To figure out under what circumstances people blink faster.
D.To prove whether a certain physical response can clearly indicate someone's intention.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The research demonstrates ... thought or intention.(研究结果很好地说明了将特定的身体反应视为某种思想或意图的‘预兆'的危险性。)”可推知,研究的目的是证明某种身体反应是否能清楚地表明某人的意图。故选D。
6.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Hard to predict.
B.Difficult to make sense.
C.Caused by many reasons.
D.Easy to be influenced by surroundings.
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段“In this way ... or ready to quit. (因此,眨眼就像许多其他肢体语言一样:它由多种因素决定。我们交叉双臂可能是因为防卫,也可能是因为疲惫、寒冷或准备放弃。)”可知,眨眼是由多种原因引起的。multi determined意为“由多种原因引起”。故选C。
7.What does the example in the last but one paragraph show
A.People tend to be moved by their family.
B.Body language can be interpreted easily in close relations.
C.Reading body language doesn't work in unfamiliar relationships.
D.Emotional change is the foundation of understanding body language.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But in more familiar relationships ... a strong emotion. (但在工作场所或其他更熟悉的关系中,大多数人都相当善于解读他们熟悉的人——长期的同事、朋友、家人——发出的信号,尤其是当他们被一种强烈的情感所感动的时候。)”可推知,这个例子展示了在亲密关系中,人们更容易解读肢体语言。故选B。
8.What would be the best title for the text
A.How to Read Body Language Reliably
B.How to Tell a Lie through Body Language
C.The Misunderstanding on Mastering Body Language
D.Why Cannot Body Language Reflect a Person's Real Intention
答案:A
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要讨论了如何通过注意人们说话的内容和方式来可靠地解读肢体语言,A项(如何可靠地解读肢体语言)最适合作为文章标题。故选A。

精深阅读
As well as their meowing (喵喵叫), cats rely very strongly on body language to communicate, both with other cats and with humans. Some behaviors are obvious and easy to read, while others can be more subtle.
One of the most obvious behaviors cats have is when they weave (穿行) themselves between your legs. When they do this, they are of course both leaving their smell on you, and letting you know that they consider you “one of the family” and love you. Similarly, when your cat jumps up onto a high place so that he is at hand or eye level with you, he is letting you know that he wants to be touched and to rub against you.
When your cat climbs into your lap while you are sitting (or sleeping) and starts to knead (抚弄) you with his paws, it might be an uncomfortable feeling but your cat is letting you know that he is comfortable and feels protected with you.
Another easily-recognized behavior in cats is when their ears are flat against their head, their fur is standing up straight and/or their back is arched (成弓形). This of course means that your cat is feeling threatened in some way and just wants to protect itself. However, if your cat stands sideways with his fur on end, with its tail raised, it means that he feels very fearful. This behavior is usually seen when there is another strange cat around. And if your cat is feeling nervous, insecure or unwell, he will usually hide under a table, chair or in or behind some other small objects or boxes.
Cats are social animals and like to communicate with their owners and other cats whenever they can, using a mixture of body language and meowing. It does not take long at all for a cat owner to learn what his cat is trying to tell him, and once he does, the relationship between him and his cat can only improve.

Ⅰ 阅读
A
Humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We've been doing this for tens of thousands of years.
题号 Ⅰ Ⅱ
A B 难度 ★★ ★★ ★★
Apes (猿) have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off of me”.
Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos (two kinds of apes) for years. Though the two groups of apes use different signs in a few cases, they share over 90% of the same gestures.
The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. For the videos, the researchers chose 10 of the most common gestures used by chimpanzees and bonobos. Thousands of people played the game.
The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. That's twice as good as people would be expected to do by chance. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example of this was the gesture of wiping the mouth, which people correctly guessed meant “give me that food”.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。科学家们发现人类能够理解大部分类人猿的动作手势,但原因尚待继续研究。
The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it's not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They're also curious about how humans understand other animals, like dogs.
1.What does the underlined word “gestures” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Defence. B.Thoughts.
C.Knowledge. D.Movements.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“They use about ... means ‘help pick insects off of me’.(它们用大约80种不同的手势来表达它们的意思。例如,一个被研究人员称为‘大声抓’的手势意味着‘帮我把昆虫从我身上抓下来’。)”可知,猿通过身体的动作来表达它们的意思,由此可推知,画线词gestures的意思是“身体的动作和手势”。故选D。
2.What were people asked to do in this study
A.Answer questions about apes.
B.Watch videos and choose answers.
C.Teach apes to make body movements.
D.Communicate with two kinds of apes.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“People watched short videos ... out of four possible answers.(人们观看了猩猩做手势的短视频。然后,他们必须从四个可能的答案中选择正确的手势含义。)”可知,在这个研究中,人们被要求观看视频并选择答案。故选B。
3.What will scientists do in the future according to the last paragraph
A.Study how humans understand animals.
B.Find out effective ways to protect apes.
C.Help people to better understand animals.
D.Figure out what humans and apes have in common.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers say that they ... about how humans understand other animals, like dogs.(研究者说他们需要研究人类是如何能够理解猿的手势的。他们也很好奇人类是如何理解其他动物的,比如狗。)”可推知,科学家们对人类理解动物的能力感到好奇,将来很可能做这方面的研究。故选A。
4.What can be the best title of this text
A.Humans and Apes Share an Ancestor
B.Apes Have Well developed Language
C.Humans Can Understand Apes' Signals
D.Apes Can Communicate Freely With Humans
解析:标题判断题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段中的“The scientists believe that ... it's not clear why.(科学家们认为,人类可能天生就有理解猿类手势的能力。但原因尚不清楚。)”可知,本文主要讲述了人类可以基本理解猿的肢体行为,但目前尚不知其原因。C项(人类可以理解猿类的信号)最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
B
People often use body language to decode (解读) lying. People may say one thing and be signaling another, so body language is a useful way to find out the truth. One of the ways to show someone is lying is blinking: The idea is that blinking faster indicates a potential lie.
So, is blink rate a reliable indicator of how likely the person is to be telling the truth What does the research show
Researchers studied competitors on a TV quiz show. The research demonstrates beautifully the danger in identifying specific physical responses as “tells” of a particular thought or intention. First of all, people do blink faster under stress. But that simply indicates a stress response, not a declaration (声明) of the intention behind the stress. Moreover, it turns out that blinking also slows when you are thinking hard and can speed up when you are signaling that you are hearing a question or getting ready to give an answer.
In this way, blinking is like so many other individual bits of body language: It is multi-determined. We may cross our arms because we're defensive or because we're tired, cold, or ready to quit.
But in more familiar relationships in the workplace or beyond, most humans are reasonably good at reading the signals of people whom they know well-long-time colleagues, friends, family, especially when they are moved by a strong emotion. For example, when your husband runs into the house excited about a raise, you can pick up that something good is going on. That's because you know how that person normally acts, and thus spotting a change from the norm is relatively easy and reliable.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了如何有效地解读肢体语言,并指出了其局限性。
Rather than trying to make a list of tells, seek to understand people in your world by paying attention to both what they say and how they say it. Over time, you can become a reliable reader of the body language of the people you live and work with.
5.What is the purpose of the research
A.To illustrate why people see body language as “tells”.
B.To present the relation between blinking and telling lies.
C.To figure out under what circumstances people blink faster.
D.To prove whether a certain physical response can clearly indicate someone's intention.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The research demonstrates ... thought or intention.(研究结果很好地说明了将特定的身体反应视为某种思想或意图的‘预兆'的危险性。)”可推知,研究的目的是证明某种身体反应是否能清楚地表明某人的意图。故选D。
6.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Hard to predict.
B.Difficult to make sense.
C.Caused by many reasons.
D.Easy to be influenced by surroundings.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段“In this way ... or ready to quit. (因此,眨眼就像许多其他肢体语言一样:它由多种因素决定。我们交叉双臂可能是因为防卫,也可能是因为疲惫、寒冷或准备放弃。)”可知,眨眼是由多种原因引起的。multi determined意为“由多种原因引起”。故选C。
7.What does the example in the last but one paragraph show
A.People tend to be moved by their family.
B.Body language can be interpreted easily in close relations.
C.Reading body language doesn't work in unfamiliar relationships.
D.Emotional change is the foundation of understanding body language.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But in more familiar relationships ... a strong emotion. (但在工作场所或其他更熟悉的关系中,大多数人都相当善于解读他们熟悉的人——长期的同事、朋友、家人——发出的信号,尤其是当他们被一种强烈的情感所感动的时候。)”可推知,这个例子展示了在亲密关系中,人们更容易解读肢体语言。故选B。
8.What would be the best title for the text
A.How to Read Body Language Reliably
B.How to Tell a Lie through Body Language
C.The Misunderstanding on Mastering Body Language
D.Why Cannot Body Language Reflect a Person's Real Intention
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要讨论了如何通过注意人们说话的内容和方式来可靠地解读肢体语言,A项(如何可靠地解读肢体语言)最适合作为文章标题。故选A。

As well as their meowing (喵喵叫), cats rely very strongly on body language to communicate, both with other cats and with humans. Some behaviors are obvious and easy to read, while others can be more subtle.
One of the most obvious behaviors cats have is when they weave (穿行) themselves between your legs. When they do this, they are of course both leaving their smell on you, and letting you know that they consider you “one of the family” and love you. Similarly, when your cat jumps up onto a high place so that he is at hand or eye level with you, he is letting you know that he wants to be touched and to rub against you.
精深阅读
When your cat climbs into your lap while you are sitting (or sleeping) and starts to knead (抚弄) you with his paws, it might be an uncomfortable feeling but your cat is letting you know that he is comfortable and feels protected with you.
Another easily-recognized behavior in cats is when their ears are flat against their head, their fur is standing up straight and/or their back is arched (成弓形). This of course means that your cat is feeling threatened in some way and just wants to protect itself. However, if your cat stands sideways with his fur on end, with its tail raised, it means that he feels very fearful. This behavior is usually seen when there is another strange cat around. And if your cat is feeling nervous, insecure or unwell, he will usually hide under a table, chair or in or behind some other small objects or boxes.
