todo对即将要做的事表示遗憾doing对所做的事感到后悔remembertodo讲的是将来的事，表示“不要忘记”doing讲的是过去的事，表示“记起来”forget todo忘记要做某事doing忘记以前曾做过的事Stoptodo停止原来做的事，开始做另一件事doing停止正在做的事Trytodo设法做某事doing试验做某事4.作介词宾语动词-ing形式作介词宾语大都和一些固定搭配有关常见的几种搭配形式有：Whatpreventedyoufromjoininguslastnight?昨天晚上什么事使你不能和我们在一起？WelikehiswayofteachingEnglish.我们喜欢他教英语的方式。Ihavenodifficultyincommunicatingwithforeigners.我在和外国人交谈方面没有什么困难。 to既可以是介词，也可以是不定式符号，在使用中比较容易混淆。若是不定式符号，to后接动词原形；若是介词，to后需接动词-ing形式Youmustgetusedtowashingyourfacewithcoldwater.你必须习惯用冷水洗脸。Heislookingforwardtoseeingyouthissummervacation.他盼望今年暑假见到你常见的带介词to的短语：beusedto习惯berelatedto与……有关getdownto着手做begivento沉溺于putone'smindto

【解析】选A。此处主句的主语party和weather不一致，所以weather保留，作permitting的逻辑主语，构成独立主格结构。另外，weather与permit之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。句意：如果天气允许，聚会将在花园举行。考查现在分词的独立主格结构。3.（2010·湖北卷）Aftertheearthquake,thefirstthingthelocalgovernmentdidwastoprovideforthehomelessfamilies.A.accommodationB.occupationC.equipmentD.furniture.【解析】选D。512的汶川地震，414玉树地震。天灾“earthquake”相信是很多考生都准备过的一个话题。所以相关词汇“accommodation”表示“住处”应该是考生们准备的系列词汇之一。这道题难度不大，句子结构也相对简单。只要背过这几个词，知道“occupation”表示“占用”或者“工作，职业”；“furniture”表示“家具”；“equipment”表示“设备，器材”就能选出正确答案D了。4.（2010·湖南卷·T26）Dina,formonthstofindajobasawaitress,finallytookapositionatalocaladvertisingagency.A.struggling B.struggled C.havingstruggled D.tostruggle 【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。该空，分词短语作时间状语，其逻辑主语Dina与struggle为主动关系，故排除B项。由剧中的finally可知非谓语动词表示的动作发生在句中谓语tookaposition之前，故用现在分词的完成主动式。5.（2009·江苏卷·T34）ManyyoungpeopleintheWestareexpectedtoleave__couldbelife'smostimportantdecision--marriage--almostentirelyuptoluck.A.asB.thatC.whichD.what【解析】选D。句中此处是一个名词性定语从句，leave是动词，后面要加宾语。其中that和which引导宾语从句的话，要有先行词在连接词的前面。所以应该选D6.（2009·江西卷·T35）Someofyoumayhavefinishedunitone._____,youcangoontounittwo.A.IfyoumayB.IfyoudoC.IfnotD.Ifso【解析】选D本题考查省略句的用法。Ifso=Ifyouhavedonethat/so7.（2009·陕西卷·T12）IstillremembertotheFamenTempleandwhatIsawthere.A.totakeB.tobetakenC.takingD.beingtaken【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词。此处非谓语动词做remember的宾语，而remember后用非谓语动词做宾语时，可以用v-ing形式，v-ing表示的动作已经完成，也可用动词不定式，表示的动作还未发生，根据后文的saw可知此处非谓语动词动作已经完成，且与逻辑主语是被动关系，用v-ing的被动式，选D。8.（2009·浙江卷·T5）Theincomesofskilledworkerswentup.______,unskilledworkerssawtheirearningsfall. A.Moreover B.Therefore C.Meanwhile D.Otherwise【解析】选C考查副词词义辨析。根据句意skilledworkers表示"熟练工人"和unskilledworkers表示"不熟练工人"两者情况的对比。Moreover“再者，加之，此外，而且”；therefore“因此，所以”；otherwise“否则，要不然”；meanwhile“在此期间，同时”，符合句意，故选C.【考点提升训练】二、单项选择21.Theagreementwasmadequicklyasbothsidesweresatisfiedwiththeconditionsof_____.A.another
