1. Playing football is my favourite sport. 2. My sister enjoys standing alone on the seashore.

3. The cartoon is amusing. 4. China is developing country.

5. We heard her singing in her room. 6. She sat at the desk reading a newspaper. Task2.

The -ing form as the subject and object

(一）动词-ing形式作主语

1. 直接置于句首

(1)___________________ is very important for me. 学习新单词对我来说非常重要。 (2)___________ is easier than doing. 说比做容易。

2. 用形式主语it，把真正的主语-ing形式移置句尾。但这种句子形式有一定的限制，作表语的只能是某些形容词或少数名词。

(1)It is useless ______(try) to argue with Shylock. (2)It’s worth _________(make) the effort. (3)It is pleasant _________ (work) with you. 常用-ing形式作主语的句型有：

1. It + be + a waste of time doing 做……是浪费时间的

2. It is/was no good/use doing 做……是没益/用处的

3. It is/was worth/worthwhile doing 做……是值得的

4. There is no sense in doing 做……没有道理

（二）动词-ing形式作宾语

1. 只能后接动词-ing形式作宾语的动词或短语，常见的有avoid, consider, enjoy, keep, finish, suggest, dislike, delay, escape, cannot help, imagine, mind,miss, practise, cannot stand, excuse,fancy, give up, put off, risk等。

Ex: I can’t avoid_______ (go). 2. 既可接动词-ing又可接不定式作宾语的动词，常见的有：begin, start, continue, like, love, prefer, mean, forget, remember, hate等。

Ex: (1). I hope they continue to fight for equal justice after I'm gone. (2). Diana and Roy Jarvis are determined to continue working when they reach retirement age. A. 在like, love, hate, prefer等动词之后，用-ing或不定式意义上没有什么不同，只是侧重点有些不同，动词-ing形式表示泛指的动作，不定式表示具体的一次性动作。

B. 在begin/start, continue之后，用动

词-ing和不定式，意义无甚区别，尤其是当主语是人的时候。

C. 在动词forget, remember, regret之后，用动词-ing与不定式意义不同。动词-ing表示动作先于谓语发生，不定式表示后于谓语动作。

Ex: (1). I remember _________ (post)the letter. (2). I’ll remember ________ (post) the letter. D. 在try, mean之后，意义各不相同，如try to do (设法)，try doing (试试)，mean to do (打算，有意要做)，mean doing (意思是，意味着)。

Ex: (1).We must try _______ get everything done in time. (2).Let’s try _______ (do) the working in some other way. (3).I didn’t mean_________ (make) you angry. (4).Your plan would mean _________ (spend) hours. 3. 作介词宾语

下列短语中的to都是介词，所以后面

跟名词或-ing形式：devote to, object to, pay attention to, get down to, lead to, look forward to, stick to, be used to等。

Ex: He was looking forward to ______(work) with the new manager. StepШ.Consolidation ExI: 高考链接. 1. It’s necessary to be prepared for a job interview. ______ (have ) the answers ready will be of great help. 2. — Can I smoke here? —
