[答案与解析]
1. C。动名词短语losing the ticket作made James upset的主语。句意为“什么使詹姆士烦躁?”“把车票丢了。车票花了他很多钱。”
2. A。英语中某些动词后只能跟动名词作宾语如:enjoy, finish, admit, advise, keep, mind, resist, stand, excuse , avoid, practise, miss, escape, imagine, suggest, consider等等。句意为“我横穿马路以便避开她,但她看到了我并朝我跑过来。
3. D。本题考查不定式和动名词做宾语的区别。remember 后接不定式表示行为尚未发生,接动名词则表示行为已经发生。根据“当我还是个孩子的时候”可知事情已经发生,应用动名词,又因动词take与句子的主语I之间是被动关系,因此用动名词的被动语态作宾语。故答案为D。forget和regret的用法与remember相同。
4. C。动名词的复合结构由“人称代词 / 名词所有格+动名词”构成。口语中或句中常用人称代词的宾格或名词的普通格。句意为“我简直不相信彼得五分钟能解决那难题。”
5. A。当动名词的复合结构在句子开头时必须要用名词所有格或物主代词。句意为“中国属于发展中国家是众所周知的。”
6. D。此题考查动名词作介词的宾语。根据句中的连词and,其前后连接相同成分,故应用sitting与doing相一致。句意为“我只是对独坐孤舟无所事事感兴趣。”
7. B。本题考查动名词的时态。如果动名词的动作没有明确表明出发生的时间,用动名词的一般式。如果动名词的动作发生在谓语动作所表示的动作之前,通常用动名词的完成式,由“having +过去分词”构成。句意为“我们因为提前完成工作受到表扬。”
8. D。本题考查动名词的被动语态。一般式由“being+过去分词”构成,完成式由“having been +过去分词”构成。根据句意“那年轻人坚持被派到贫穷地区工作”应用一般式,故答案为D。
9. D。句意为“地板太脏了,该洗了。”need后面接动名词,用主动形式表示被动意义,need doing= need to be done. 类似的动词还有want和require。
10. A。It为形式主语,在抽象名词use / good / harm等后面需用动名词作句子的主语。句意为“你能告诉我这句话‘覆水难收’的意思吗?”
11. B。本题考查在某些固定结构中的动名词。can’t help doing意为“禁不住”。句意为“那青年妇女惊喜交集,禁不住放声大哭起来。”
12. A。be worth doing…意为“值得…”。句意为“这部电影如此好以至于值得再看一遍。”
13. D。look forward to其中的to为介词,不是不定式符号,要特别注意区分。常见的词组还有:be used to, devote…to, object to, pay a visit to, pay attention to, refer to, stick to, lead to 等等。
14. C。动名词的否定结构由“not+ 动名词”构成。句意“她没按时回家使她妈妈生气的吗?
15. A。本题考查动名词的被动语态作主语。keep后面跟动名词,因此答案为A。句意为“什么使爱丽丝那么生气?”“在雨中等了一个小时。”
