V-ing形式在句中可作主语、表语、宾 语、(主/宾)补足语、定语和状语。它作非谓语动词时也有时态和语态的不同形式。如以动词do为例：doing为一般式，表示该动作与主语动作同时发生或之后发生；having done为完成式，表示该动作在谓语动作之前发生；being done是一般式的被动式，having been done为完成式的被动式；否定式是在一般式和完成式的最前面加not。本单元将讲解其作表语,定语及宾语补足语的用法.
非谓语动词 v-ing 用法
动词-ing形式作表语、定语和宾补
一、动词-ing形式作表语
动名词作表语表示抽象的、一般的行为，现在分词作表语表示主语的特征、性质和状态。
Our greatest happiness is serving the people.我们最大的幸福是为人民服务。 （动名词）
Her job is keeping the offices clean. 她的工作是保持办公室清洁。 （动名词）
句中keeping the office clean为动名词，作表语表示习惯性的行为动作。
The film we saw last night is quite moving. 我们昨晚看的电影十分动人。 （现在分词）
His words are encouraging. 他的话很鼓舞人。 （现在分词）
.The sound we heard last night was so frightening. 我们昨晚听到的声音令人恐怖。（现在分词）
现在分词作表语表示主语的性质，有主动的意味，通常可以看作形容词，也可以用very, so或much等修饰。
常用来作表语的现在分词有：astonishing, amusing, confusing, disappointing, boring, encouraging, inspiring, moving, tiring, interesting, surprising 等。
全析提示：
（1）动名词作表语和主语是等值关系，两者有时可以互换，句子意思不变；动名词后面可以接宾语、状语。
（2）现在分词作表语和主语不是对等关系，现在分词后面不能接宾语，但 它前面可以有修饰性的副词， 如：very, rather 等。
动名词作定语用来说明该名词的用途和作用，不表示名词本身的动作；现在分词作定语与所修饰的名词具有逻辑上的主谓关系，强调动作正在发生即现在分词相当于所修饰名词的谓语。
二、动词-ing形式作定语
We must improve our working method. （动名词）
The swimming pool isn’t open today.
They set up an operating table in a small temple.
Don’t forget to take a shopping basket with you.
China is a developing country. 中国是发展中国家。 （现在分词）
The student making the experiment is our monitor. 正在做实验的那个学生是我们的班长。 （现在分词）
The rising sun looks very beautiful. 冉冉升起的太阳看上去很美。 （现在分词）
The girl wearing glasses came to this school at the beginning of this term. 那个戴眼镜的女孩是本学期初来这所学校的。 （现在分词）
[分析]：
当被修饰词是现在分词的逻辑宾语时，且表示正在进行发生时须用现在分词的被动式being done作定语。但表示比谓语更早的动作定语一般不用完成式，而应用定语从句，表示被动关系时也可用过去分词来表示。
The song being broadcast is very popular with the young students.
正在播放的歌曲深受青年学生的欢迎。
The bridge being built will be completed next year. 正在建造的桥明年竣工。
Our headmaster is talking with the people having arrived at our school. ( )
Our headmaster is talking with the people who have arrived at our school. ( )
The guests having been invited are in the lecture hall now. ( )
The guests invited / who were invited are in the lecture hall now. ( )
Eg.
F
T
F
T
全析提示：
动名词短语不能作定语，单个的动名词可以用作定语，但仅作前置定语。
如 working method=method for working
2. 单个分词和分词短语都可作定语，单个分词一般作前置定语，分词短语则作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句。
如：the man visiting Japan=the man who is visiting Japan
a sleeping boy=a boy who is sleeping
Anybody swimming in this river will be fined.
= Anybody who is swimming in this river will be fined.
在这条河里游泳的任何一个人都会被 罚款。
a walking stick =
a charming character =
a sleeping bag =
a sleeping boy =
a drinking cup =
a drinking horse =
a stick for walking
a character who is charming
a bag for sleeping
a boy who / that is sleeping
a cup for drinking
a horse that is drinking
a dancing hall =
a dancing girl =
a cooking pot =
a moving story =
a washing machine =
a terrifying sound =
an operating table =
an inspiring leader =
a hall for dancing
a girl who is dancing
a pot for cooking
a story that is moving
a machine for washing
a sound that is terrifying
a table for operating
a leader who is inspiring
3. -ing形式短语也可以用作非限制定语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句，这时，它与句子其他部分用逗号分开。如：
His brother, working as a teacher, lives in Beijing.
= His brother, who is working as a teacher, lives in Beijing.
他那个当教师的哥哥住在北京。
三、动词-ing形式作宾补
1)动名词不能作宾语补足语。现在 分词作宾补表示的是正在发生的动作。
例如：
我看见他正在上楼。
I saw him going upstairs.
我们看着她在过大街。
We watched her crossing the street.
我们听见她在房间里唱歌。
We heard her singing in her room。
全析提示：
接现在分析作宾语补足语的动词有： feel, hear, listen to, see, look at, watch, observe, notice, find, smell, set, have, keep, start, leave, get, catch 等。
When I entered the room , I found
him watching TV.
I felt the bus shaking terrible.
We watched her crossing the street.
I won’t have you doing that.
This set me thinking.
I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
I can’t get the clock going again.
You won’t catch me doing that again.
2）当主句转换为被动结构时, 原来作宾语补足语的动词-ing形式便转换为主语补足语。
如：
They found the result very satisfying.
= The result is found very satisfying.
这个结果很令人满意。
They heard him singing in the next room.
= He was heard singing in the next room.
They kept us waiting for quite a long time.
=We were kept waiting for quite a long time.
-ing分词复合结构：通常由物主代词、人称代词宾格、名词所有格或名词的普通格+ -ing分词构成，在句子开头时必须用物主代词和名词所有格，通常在句子中作主语和宾语。如：
His coming made us very happy.
He was awakened by someone’s knocking at the door.
复合宾语中现在分词与不定式的比较
在see, hear, watch, notice等动词后，既可用现在分词构成复合宾语，也可用不定式构成复合宾语。一般来说，现在分词表动作正在发生，即处于发生过程中，还未结束；不定式表动作发生了，即全部过程结束了.有时用现在分词表动作的重复性，用不定式表动作的一次性。
I saw him going upstairs .
I saw him go upstairs.
I often heard him singing songs.
I heard him sing that song.
We passed by the classmates and saw
the teacher making the experiment.
我们走过教室，看见老师在做实验。
（只在走过教室的刹那间，看见老师
正在做实验）
① 前者表示动作正在进行，而后者表示
（或强调）动作从开始到结束的全过程。
如:
We sat an hour and watched the teacher make the experiment.
我们坐了一个小时，看老师做实验。
（一个小时之内一直在看老师作实验）
② 如果宾语补足语是短暂性动词，动词不定式短语表示一次动作， 而-ing形式则表示反复动作。如：
We heard the door slam.
We heard the door slamming.

Listening text
Mary Smith looked at her basket of fruit. They were beautiful, ripe plums. There were far too many to eat but they would make lovely jam. She looked for her cookbook and began to take the stones out of the fruit. When she had finished the cooking, she filled all her
empty jam jars and left the rest of the jam in the pan. Then she began to make the lunch.
Five days later her husband, John, came home from a visit to his parents. He had been travelling a whole day and felt like having a drink and a cake. As
he came into the kitchen he saw a pan
with what looked like dark red porridge in it. What was it As he picked it up he smelled it and it seemed to him that it was bad. Mary must have forgotten it. The food she had left in the pan would attract insects! He took the pan and poured all the jam into the chicken
yard and cleaned it. Then, feeling
comfortable, he began to eat a piece of cake.
Later when Mary came home she noticed the chickens were behaving very strangely. They were running around their yard as if they were sick. What was the matter She went closer to find out. She saw the dark red porridge on the
ground and several chickens asleep beside it. As she looked closer at the food she saw a plum stone. She stood up quickly and went straight to the kitchen. Her husband was sitting at the table and the pan was hanging, clean and empty, on the wall. Mary rushed at her
husband and pulled him hard. “What’s the matter ” he asked. “It’s good thing I threw away that porridge.” “But that was my jam!” cried Mary. When they went into the yard, they realized that the hot weather had turned the jam into wine and the chickens were drunk!
“Oh,” Mary cried out, “I forgot to put the jam in the fridge. Now what shall we do with the drunken chickens Does anyone know what to do with drunken chickens ”

Listening text
Long ago, there lived a poor couple, Peter and his wife. They had no money to buy food and lived a very hard life. One day they were given some potatoes by a friend and put them on the floor. When evening came, they went to bed. At midnight, a thief stole into their
house. It was very dark. The wife heard a noise and shouted: “Peter, Peter. Wake up. There is a thief in our house.”
Peter was a clever man. Thinking that the thief might have a knife, he did not want to make the thief angry. He just wanted the thief to go away
with whatever he wanted. So he said, “Be quiet. There is no thief. Go back to sleep.” So his wife went back to sleep.
The thief found the potatoes on the floor, but he could not carry them because there was no bag to hold them. He took off his shirt and spread
it on the floor. He wanted to pour the potatoes onto his shirt, but just when he turned back to get them, Peter quietly took away his shirt and hid it under the bed. The thief did not know his shirt was gone. He put the potatoes on what he thought was his “shirt”. But when he tried to pick it up he could not do so.
Just then Peter’s wife woke up and shouted again, “Peter, Peter! Wake up. There is a thief in our house.” Peter became very angry. He shouted, “Be quiet, please. There is no thief in our house. Listen, if I say there is no thief, then there is no thief.”
When he heard this, the thief became very angry and shouted, “Who said there is no thief If there is no thief in this house, then who has taken my shirt ”

Listening text
One day a teacher was walking along the road. It was a lovely sunny day. The sky was blue and the birds were singing in the trees. The teacher felt very happy until he saw five boys aged about 15 standing round an animal. As he went up to them, he saw that the animal
was a thin and hungry dog. It looked very frightened and the teacher felt very sorry for it. So he asked the boys what they were going to do with the dog.
“Oh,” said one of the boys. “We were just deciding who should take the dog home and look after it. We all want to
look after the dog but only one of us can have it as a pet.” The teacher asked how they were going to choose the owner of the dog. “Well,” said the same boy, “We’ve decided that the one who told the biggest lie should have him.” At this the teacher became very angry. He started to explain to the boys
about truth and honesty. He continued for ten minutes while the boys listened carefully .Then he ended by saying, “And I never told a lie when I was your age.” When he finished there was a long silence. The boys looked at the teacher and they seemed to agree with what he had said. The teacher felt happy that
his words had impressed the boys. Then the same boy spoke again. “After what we heard, I think you should have the dog!”

Discussion
1. What’s behind fun
Not all humour is kind. Although we also laugh when we see someone slide on a banana skin, it’s really dangerous to those who slide on the banana skin, especially to those old people. So when we think about it we will find it’s not funny.
2. Why did people like The Little Tramp
3. Do you think Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny Why
Because it gives people courage to overcome difficulties.
Yes. Because he made the terrible situation “real” for his audience. And he was able to show the humanity and kindness in the most difficult circumstances.
Explanation

April Fool’s day is a day when people play jokes on each other. On this day you will often see strange and interesting finds, scientific results or astronomical findings that are put there to mislead the public. The newspaper feels happy if a large
number of people believe what is written. Sometimes particularly good stories get into the evening news on BBC.
愚人节的来历
每年4月1日,是西方也是美国的民间传统节日——愚人节。
愚人节起源于法国。1564年，法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即目前通用的阳历),以1月1日为一年之始。但一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革,依然按照旧历固执地在4月1日这一天送
礼品,庆祝新年。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在4月1日就给他们送假礼品，邀请他们参加假招待会。并把上当受骗的保守分子称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩的鱼”。从此人们在4月1日便互相愚弄，成为法国流行的风俗。18世纪初，愚人节习俗传到英国,接着又被英国的早期移民带到了美国。
愚人节最典型的活动还是大家互相开玩笑,用假话捉弄对方。有的人把细线拴着的钱包丢在大街上,自己在暗处拉着线的另一端。一旦有人捡起钱包,他们就出其不意地猛然把钱包拽走。还有人把砖头放在破帽子下面搁在马路当中,然后等着看谁来了会踢它。小孩们会告诉父母说自己的书包破了个洞,或者脸上有个
黑点。等大人俯身来看时,他们就一边喊着“四月傻瓜”。一边笑着跑开去。总之,每逢愚人节这一天,动物园和水族馆还会接到不少打给菲什(鱼)先生成莱昂(狮子)先生的电话,常常惹得工作人员掐断电话线,以便减少麻烦。
如今的愚人节在美国已主要是淘气的男孩子们的节日了!

Answer the following questions.
Children enjoy playing jokes on each other. When they “fool” someone they say “April Fool” to them. The most common kind of joke is to say something like “Your dress is
hanging down at the back”. When you turn round they say “April Fool”.
2. Why did people believe the programme Panorama
People believed the programme Panorama because it was always serious and known for its factual correctness.
3. Do you think the advice that the BBC gave people who asked how to grow noodle trees was serous Give a reason.
The advice the BBC gave to people wanting to grow their own noodle tree could not be serious as no tree could be grown in this way.
4. What would you do to find out whether a story like this was true
If I was not sure if a story was true or not, I would go to the library to check the facts in an encyclopedia or go on the Internet.
