　　動名詞的考點：

　　一、動名詞作主語

　　___is a good form of exercise for both young and old (NMET1992)

　　A. the walk B. walking C. to walk D. walk (B)

　　動名詞作主語表示習慣性，泛指經常性、不具體的動作。而不定式做主語則表示一次性、特指、未來具體的動作。由句意可知主語表示泛指的、經常性的動作。

　　二、動名詞作賓語

　　1.the officer narrowly escaped ____in the hot battle (MET80)

　　A. have killed B. to kill C. to be kill D. being killed (D)

　　分析： 此題考查的是只能用動名詞做賓語的動詞。Advise, allow, 　appreciate, avoid,consider,delay,enjoy,escape,excuse,finish,keep,imagine,mind,miss,permit,practise,risk,suggest等動詞及feel like, insist on, be fond of, what (how )about等固定詞組要用動名詞做賓語。本題動名詞的邏輯主語是動名詞動作的承受者，故用了被動語態。

　　2. She looks forward every spring to ____the flower-lined garden (shanghai 95)

　　A. visit B. paying a visit C. walk in D. walking in (D)

　　分析： 此題考查含有介詞to的短語動詞的用法。Look forward to ,be (get)used to (習慣于),pay attention to, prefer ---to 等短語中的to 為介詞，后跟名詞和動名詞作賓語。B項后少了to，因pay a visit to 為固定短語。

　　3. people couldn’t help ____the foolish emperor in the procession (MET 83 )

　　A. laugh at B. to laugh at C. laughing at D. laughing on (C)

　　分析： 此題考查一些既可跟動名詞也可跟不定式作賓語但含義不同的動詞(短語)的用法。

　　(1)can’t help to do不能幫助做 can’t help doing 情不自禁

　　(2)forget, remember后跟動名詞表示已發生的動作，跟不定式表示未發生的動作。

　　(3)try to do 盡力做，try doing 試著做

　　(4)go on to do sth. 接著做另一件事，go on doing sth. 繼續做原來在做的事

　　(5)mean to do 打算做。Mean doing sth. 意味著做

　　本句意味“人們忍不住嘲笑游行隊伍中的愚蠢皇帝”故選C。

　　4. Only one of these books is _____(MET 86)

　　A. worth to read B. worth being read C. worth of reading D. worth reading (D)

　　分析： Be busy ,be worth后以動名詞的主動式做賓語。注意： 也有“值得“之意 ，但其用法是：be worthy to be done ,be worthy of being done. 5. This sentence needs _____(MET85)

　　A. a improvement B. improve C. improving D. improved (C)

　　分析： need ,want ,require 后跟動名詞的主動式或不定式的被動式表示被動意義。又如：The room needs cleaning (to be cleaned ) 房子需要打掃。

　　三、考查動名詞的否定式

　　_I must apologize for ___ahead of time.

　　-That’s all right. (NMET 94 )

　　A. letting you not know B. not letting you know

　　C. letting you know not

　　D. letting not you know (B)

　　分析：動名詞的否定式是在動名詞前加not.

　　練習：

　　1.______ is a good form of exercise for both young and old.

　　A. the work B. walking C. to walking D. walk

　　2. How about the two of us ____a walk down the garden?
