Unit3 A taste of English humour语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
要求学生掌握本单元的重点语法----动词的-ing形式作表语，定语，宾语补足语并能熟练运用相关语法知识解决相应类型的题。
一、动词的-ing形式由“动词原形+ing形式”构成，它既是现在分词形式，也是动名词形式。v-ing能在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语和状语，但不能单独作谓语。其时态和语态的变化为
时态 语态
主动
被动
一般时
doing
being done
完成时
having done
having been done
二、(1)动词-ing分为动名词和现在分词两类。
(2)动名词兼有动词和名词的特征，可在句中充当主语、宾语、表语和定语。
(3)现在分词兼有动词、形容词和副词的特征，可在句中充当定语、表语、补语和状语。
三、动词-ing作表语
1.作表语的动词-ing所体现的是名词的特性，用于对主语的内容进行解释说明，可表示抽象或习惯上的动作，且主语和表语可以换位。
E.g. Her job is cleaning the building.她的工作是打扫楼房。
2.作表语的现在分词是形容词性的，表示主语的性质或特征，这时通常看作形容词，且主语与表语不可换位。
E.g. Though the job is boring，he has to do it to make a living.尽管这份工作无趣，为了谋生他也只好做。
四、v.-ing形式作定语
1.动词-ing作定语表示名词的属性或事物的用途时，一般只能作前置定语。
E.g. Now he is waiting for you in the waiting room. (表示用途)现在他在候诊室里等着你。
2.动词-ing兼有动词、形容词和副词的特征时，可以作前置定语(具有动词、形容词的特征)，也可
以作后置定语(兼有动词、形容词和副词的特征)，表示正在进行的动作或某种状态，单个动词-ing作定语时，常放在所修饰的名词之前；动词-ing短语作定语时，常放在所修饰的名词之后，相当于一个定语从句。
E.g. The girl standing there (=The girl who is standing there) is my classmate.
站在那里的女孩是我的同学。
五、动词-ing作补语
1.动词-ing作宾语补足语常放在宾语后面，表示一个正在进行的主动性的动作，强调一个过程或一
种状态。
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。
E.g. The boss kept the workers working the whole night. (宾语补足语)那老板让工人整夜地工作。
E.g. The workers were kept working the whole night. (主语补足语)
1）位于感官动词后(see，hear，feel，smell，watch，find，notice等)。
E.g. I felt somebody patting me on the shoulder.我感到有人拍我的肩膀。
2）位于使役动词后(have，make，let，get，keep，set，catch等)。
E.g. He got the clock going again.他让钟表又走了起来。
3）用于with复合结构中。
E.g. With the light burning, he felt asleep.灯亮着，他睡着了。
六、难点突破
1.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，用来修饰
物，常见的有：moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，inspiring，boring，surprising，puzzling，
amusing，astonishing，此类形容词意为：令人……的。
E.g. The problem is puzzling, which easily makes people puzzled.
这个问题是令人迷惑的，很容易让人迷惑不解。
2.see，hear，feel，watch等动词之后用动词-ing和动词不定式作宾语补足语的区别。
(1)动词-ing作宾语补足语时，表示动作正在进行；而动词不定式作宾语补足语时，表示(或强调动作从开始到结束的全过程。
E.g. When we passed the classroom, we saw a student playing the piano. (动作在进行)
当我们经过教室时，我们看见一个学生在弹钢琴。
E.g. We watched our teacher make an experiment during yesterday's class. (动作全过程)
在昨天的课上，我们观看老师做了一个实验。
(2)若用短暂性动词的某个形式作宾语补足语，其不定式短语表示一个动作，而其-ing则表示反
复动作。
E.g. We heard the door slam. (一次动作) 我们听见门“砰”的一声关上了。
E.g. We heard the door slamming. (反复动作) 我们听见了“砰砰砰”的关门声

参考范文：
Last Saturday, our school organized all of the senior 1 students to visit the children at a local orphanage. We took many books that are popular with children, as well as many kinds of school supplies and toys, to the children. They were delighted to receive these gifts. We played some games together and gave wonderful performances as well. Before leaving the orphanage we took photos with them and gave them our contact details so we could keep in touch with one another at any time.

Our heart is very important. __1__ Heart disease, also called cardiovascular disease, mainly affects older people and means that there are problems with the heart and blood vessels. This disease includes a variety of problems, including high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, chest pain, heart attacks and strokes.
What Is Heart Disease?

How Do You Get Heart Disease?
Heart disease isn't contagious (传染的)—you can't catch it like the way you get the flu or a cold. Instead, certain things increase a person's chances of getting cardiovascular disease.__3__
For some of these risk factors a person can't do anything about them, like being older and having other people in the family who have had the same problems.

Many people do not realise they have cardiovascular disease until they have chest pain, a heart attack, or stroke. These kinds of problems often need immediate attention and the person may need to go to the emergency department of a hospital.
Can Kids Get Heart Disease?
Kids usually don't have any symptoms of heart and blood vessel problems. But by starting heart－healthy habits right now, kids can reduce the chance they will ever need to worry about cardiovascular disease.
So what should you do? Don't smoke, for one. __5__Your heart and blood vessels will thank you later!
A. How do we deal with Heart Disease?
B. Doctors call these things risk factors.
C. What Are the Signs of Heart Disease?
