◎单元重点语法—动词-ing形式动名词作主语和宾语
1. 构成与特点(主宾不过分:分词<尤其是过去分词>不作主语或宾语)
动名词与现在分词同形,均由动词原形+ing构成。
动名词具有名词的特征,在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语和定语。同时,动名词仍保留着动词的一些特征,可以带宾语和状语,并有完成式和被动语态。
动名词的的各种时态、语态变化如下:
形 式
及物动词
不及物动词
主动
被动
主动
一般式
doing
being done
doing
完成式
having done
having been done
having done
时态
动名词的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前,通常要用完成式,否则都用一般式。如:
We are interested in playing chess.
He was praised for having finished the work ahead of time.
I’m sorry for not having kept my promise.
语态
若动名词的逻辑主语是动名词所表示的动作的对象(即构成动宾关系),动名词用被动语态。如:
We must do something to prevent water from being polluted.
I remember having been told a story.
He was afraid of being scolded by the teacher.
2. 用法
作主语
如:例1 Talking is no good. 空谈是没有用的。
例2 Working for him is fun. 为他工作很有意思。
例3 Sitting there was pleasant. 坐在那里很愉快.
注意 ①由以上例句可知,动名词作主语时,一般表示一般性、习惯性的动作。作主语的动名词有时态和语态的变化,且谓语动词常用单数。
②动名词(短语)作主语时,也可用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语(即动名词)放在后面,有以下结构:
(1)It is no use (no good, fun, a new experience, a great honour, etc) + doing sth.
因此,上述例2就可以改为:It’s fun working for him.
(2)It is good (nice, useless, interesting, pleasant, tiring, etc) + doing或to do sth. 如:
因此,上述例句3就可以改为:It was pleasant sitting there.
又如:It is useless speaking. 光说没有用。
(3)It is?worthwhile doing sth.
如:It’s worthwhile doing the work.?这项工作值得做。
(4)There is
166878074295-381076200no way
doing sth.
no sense/point/good in
nothing worse than
注意 ③动名词作主语时,如果要突出动作的执行者,要在动名词前加上所表动作的逻辑主语,这个逻辑主语通常为名词所有格或形容词性物主代词。如:
Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us.
Mike’s returning back to work is a great help to us.
√小试身手(2)-单句语法填空
It’s no use _______(complain) without taking any action.
It is a waste of time _______(warn) him–he is determined to go his own way.
【答案】1. complaining 2. warning
作宾语
如:I enjoy listening to music.
He often practices playing the piano in the evening.
He is fond of playing basketball.
He has given up smoking.
Would you mind turning down your radio a little, please?
①只能接动名词作宾语的动词或短语有:
考虑建议盼原谅(consider, suggest/advise, look forward to, excuse/pardon)
承认推迟没得想(admit, delay/put off, fancy)
避免错过继续练(avoid, miss, keep/keep on, practise)
否认完成就欣赏(deny, finish, enjoy/appreciate)
禁止想象才冒险(forbid, imagine, risk)
不禁介意准逃亡(can’t help, mind, allow/permit, escape)
难以忍受始反对(can’t stand, set about, object to)
想要成功坚持忙(feel like, succeed in, stick to/insist on, be busy)
习惯放弃有困难(be used/accustomed to, give up, have difficulty/trouble/problems )
导致专心防道款(lead to, devote to, prevent/stop/keep sb/sth from, apologize for)
be surprised at 对……感到惊讶 be proud of 以……为骄傲 be afraid of 害怕……
②后接动名词、不定式均可,且意义相同的动词或短语有:
like, love, dislike, hate, begin/start, continue, prefer, can’t bear/endure(无法忍受), cease(停止), etc.
③某些及物动词后,可加动名词(doing)也可用动词不定式(to do)作宾语,但意义不同。如:
remember doing
remember to do
forget doing
forget to do
regret doing 后悔做过某事
regret to do 遗憾去做某事
mean doing 意味着
mean to do 打算做某事(=plan to do)
try doing 尝试着做某事
try to do 尽力做某事
stop doing 停止正在做的事
stop to do 停下来做别的事(to do表目的)
go on doing 继续做原来做的事
go on to do 接着做别的事
want/need/require doing 表示被动含义
=want/need/require to be done
be worth doing 主动形式表示被动含义
be/get used to dong 习惯于做某事
used to do 过去常常做某事(现在不做了)
be used to do 被用来做某事(被动语态)
can’t help doing =can’t help but do 情不自禁做某事
can’t help (to) do 不能帮助做某事
like/hate +doing 喜欢/讨厌某种行为(经常性)
like/hate +to do 喜欢/讨厌去做某事(特定的某一次)
*dislike后只跟doing
be considered to have done 被认为已经做了某事
consider doing 考虑做某事
consider (think, find) … (to be) 认为……是……
④动名词前可以有自己的逻辑主语以构成复合结构,其形式有:
(1)形容词性物主代词
(2)名词所有格
(3)人称代词宾格
(4)名词
+动名词
如:He left the city without our knowing it.
Do you mind my/me opening the window?

As far as live spectator sports go, the Tour de France has to be one of the strangest, For hours, thousands of enthusiasts line the route under a baking sun. Fans bring folding chairs and picnics. At last, there is action on the road. But it is the long caravan(大篷车) of advertising vehicles which precedes the racers. And then suddenly, in a flash of lime green and yellow, the breakaway cyclists, followed by cycling pack, pass. It all lasts a matter of seconds. But then again the world's most famous cycling race is as much about the geography and national identity of France as it is about the sport.
The tour is thrilling the French this year. For the first time in 34 years, a Frenchman -- either Thibaut Pinot or Julian Alaphilippe -- has a chance of winning when the race finishes on the Champs-Elysees on July 28th. For decades,the French have watched with disappointment the Spanish, Americans and British get the trophy(奖杯). French suspicions of cheating used to seem like sour grapes. But in 2012 Lance Armstrong, a seven time American winner, was stripped of his titles after a doping(兴奋剂) scandal. Today, the tour has recovered its credibility as an extreme test of muscular endurance, and with it the country's enthusiasm. The French airwaves have been filled with breathless live coverage of the race, with its 21 separate stages covering 3,480km. This year is also the centenary(一百周年) of the maillotjaune(黄衫) awarded daily to the race leader To celebrate, on July 20th President Emmanuel Macron was at the Col du Tourmaletin the Pyrenees to congratulate maillotjaune-wearing Mr Alaphilippe as well as the day's winner, who happened to be Mr Pinot. In 1903 Henri Desgrange, an early cycling enthusiast, designed the tour to help publicise his sports newspaper. Yet these days the tour also serves to promote France. On July 24th cyclists sped past the medieval village of Faucon, having started at the Roman aqueduct of the Pont du Gard, before ending in the foothills of the Alps. More of the French think of the race as a chance to admire the scenery than see it as a great sporting event.
The tour, said Christian Prudhomme, its director, is "life ... all the wonderful, exceptional, disconcerting, unfortunate things that can happen: it is life."
53. What makes the Tour de France thrilling the French this year?

Scientists in the United Kingdom and China have announced plans to use artificial(人工的)intelligence(Al) on chicken farms in order to fight the problem of antibiotic(抗生素) resistance (耐药性) in both farm animals and humans.
The new plan will use machine learning to find ways to track and prevent disease on farms, reducing the need for antibiotic treatment in chickens and therefore lowering the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria(细菌) spreading to people.
The research will be led by animal health experts from the University of Nottingham and Nimrod Veterinary Products in the UK as well as two Chinese partners -- New Hope Liuhe in Chengdu and the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment.
“Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem and it's getting worse and worse. Some of these superbugs are resistant to everything. We don't know how to treat them,” University of Nottingham veterinary professor Tania Dottorini told China Daily. "On farms, superbugs are not limited to animals. They spread to humans and to the environment at a fast spread. If we don't understand how to stop this, it's going to be really bad.”
Around 700,000 deaths a year result from antibiotic resistance, according to a report announced by the UK government. If left unchecked, drug resistance could lead to 10 million deaths a year by 2050, which is more than the number of people who now die from cancer every year.
Antibiotics work by interrupting function in certain parts of a bacterial cell. Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics through genetic mutations(突变) that change those areas of the cell, meaning medicine can no longer influence them.
The more a bacterium is exposed to an antibiotic, the more likely it is to become resistant. Large numbers of people and animals are given antibiotics when they don't need them, so reducing unnecessary consumption is very important in the fight against so-called superbug.
“When you have large amounts of data, the human mind can't deal with that. It's too complex," Dottorini said of machine learning. "We need something that is able to understand the relationship across a big amount of information."
Dottorini said that, if successful, these methods should be used to other farm studies in China and abroad.
56. Why do scientists in the UK and China plan to use artificial intelligence on chicken farms?
A. To find the existence of superbugs.
B. To explore the origin of drug resistance.
C. To reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance in both animals and people.
D. To confirm the need for antibiotic treatment in chickens.
57. What do we know about superbugs according to Tania Dottorini?
A. Superbugs are only limited to animals on farms.
B. Researchers have figured out how to cope with superbugs.
C. People will get rid of superbugs successfully in China and abroad.
D. The spread of some superbugs may bring about serious consequences.
58. Which of the following is true according to the last four paragraphs?
A. Antibiotics can preserve certain parts of bacteria cell.
B. Medicine is ineffective to the bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
C. Bacteria will become resistant unless it is exposed to an antibiotic.
D. The key to fighting against superbugs is to avoid giving antibiotics to animals and people.
59. What does the underlined word "something” in Paragraph 8 refer to?
A. Superbugs. B. Artificial intelligence. C. Antibiotic. D. Human mind.
60. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Ways to improve Al technology B. A research to prevent drug resistance
C. Al used to fight drug resistance D. Superbugs remaining to be treated

Rich countries are racing to dematerialize(无纸化) payments. They need to do more to prepare for the side-efffects .
For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash, from buying food to settling bar bills or daily dealings.
Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient?but it also brings new problems.
Countries are getting rid of cash at varying speeds. But the direction of travel is clear, and in some cases the journey is nearly complete. In Sweden the number of retail(零售的) cash deals per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. Cash accounts for just 6% of purchases by value in Norway. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its dominance is being shaken. In China, digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.
Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want payment systems that plug seamlessly(无缝地) into their digital lives.
But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and telecoms companies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees.
There is a high cost to running the infrastructure(基础设施) behind the cash economy -- ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or try to prevent old-fashioned customers with high fees.
In general, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. In rich countries, producing, sorting, storing and distributing it costs about 0. 5% of GDP.
But that does not begin to capture the gains? When payments dematerialise, people and shops are less easy to meet theft. Governments can keep a closer eye on cheating or tax evasion(漏税). Digitalisation enlarges the playground of small businesses and sole traders by enabling them to sell beyond their borders. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.
Yet set against these benefits are a lot of worries. Electronic payment systems may be easy to meet technical failures, power blackouts and cyber-attacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And getting rid of cash for a digital system could let governments spy on people's shopping habits and private titans(巨头) exploit their personal data.
61. China is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that .
A. cash is disappearing in rich countries at a fast speed
B. cash only accounts for a small part in business nowadays
C. cash is still the most important means of payment outside rich countries
D. cash doesn’t seem as important as it used to be in developing countries
62. What does the underlined word “dominance” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Power and influence. B. Limit and possibility.
C. Future and potential . D. Structure and style.
63. Digital payment is developing fast partly because .
A. most financial firms are in favor of cash
B. younger consumers have less pocket money nowadays
C. it can bring both data and profit to its suppliers
D. it is well-received by old-fashioned consumers
64. Which of the following statements is the possible consequence of getting rid of cash?
A. Cyber-attacks can be monitored easily.
B. Personal data may be used for other purposes.
C. Electronic payment system will have no technical failures.
D. It costs more to run the infrastructure of digital payment.
65. The passage is mainly about .
A. the side effects of digital payment
B. the benefits of dematerialising payments
C. protecting personal data due to digital payment
D. changes in payment methods and its possible influences
