动词-ing形式作定语和表语
3.Festivals are becoming more and more commercial,with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.
4.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.
仔细观察以上四个句子中的加粗部分,判断哪些动词-ing 形式是作定语,哪些是作表语。
语法知识点拨
一、动词-ing形式的构成(以do为例)
形式 肯定式 否定式
主动式 doing not doing
被动式 being done not being done
完成式 having done not having done
二、动词-ing形式作定语
1.单个动词-ing形式作定语时,通常放在所修饰的名词之前。表示动作正在进行,分词和所修饰的名词是逻辑上的主动关系。
Make less noise.There’s a sleeping child.
少制造些噪声。有一个正在睡觉的孩子。
He asked an embarrassing question.
他提了一个令人难堪的问题。
2.动词-ing形式短语作定语时,放在所修饰的名词之后。所修饰的名词是其逻辑主语,现在分词短语和逻辑主语之间是主动关系。此时现在分词短语相当于一个定语从句。
They lived in a house facing south (相当于which is facing south).
他们住在一所朝南的房子里。
The woman preparing the feast for us (相当于who is preparing the feast for us) is our aunt.
这位在为我们准备大餐的女士是我们的姑姑。
温馨提示
作定语的现在分词短语表示的动作与主句谓语动词表示的动作不是同时发生时,不能用现在分词短语作定语,要使用定语从句。如:昨天来这儿的那位教授将给我们做演讲。
The professor coming here yesterday will give us a lecture.(　×　)
The professor who came here yesterday will give us a lecture.(　√ )
3.作定语的及物动词-ing形式为doing和being done。当被修饰的名词与动词-ing形式之间为主动关系时,用doing;当被修饰的名词与动词-ing形式之间为被动关系且表示动作正在进行时,用being done;作定语的不及物动词的动词-ing形式只有doing形式。
You should adapt to the changing situation.
你应该适应不断变化的形势。
The bridge being built now is by far the longest across the Yellow River.
目前正在修建的那座桥是迄今横跨黄河的最长的桥。
4.动词-ing形式作定语还可说明被修饰词的性质、特征或用途。
There is a swimming pool behind the beautiful garden.
在这个美丽的花园后面有一个游泳池。
温馨提示
表示感情的动词-ing形式作定语时,表示“令人……的”;此类动词的-ed形式作定语时,表示“感到……的”。
5.过去分词、现在分词的被动式和动词不定式的被动式作定语的区别。
定语 意义 例句
过去分词作 定语(done ) 表示被动 动作已完成 The stadium built last year is the biggest one in our city.去年建造的那个体育场是我市最大的体育场。
现在分词的 被动式作定语 (being done) 表示 被动动作 正在发生 The stadium being built now will be the biggest one in our city.现在正在被建造的那个体育场将是我市最大的体育场。
动词不定式的 被动式作定语 (to be done ) 表示 被动动作 将要发生 The stadium to be built next year will be the biggest one in our city.明年将要建造的那个体育场将是我市最大的体育场。

三、动词-ing形式作表语
1.动词-ing形式表示主语的内容时,可以转换到句首作主语。

(=Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.)
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。
Her hobby is playing a variety of instruments.(=Playing a variety of instruments is her hobby.)
她的爱好是弹奏各种各样的乐器。
2.动词-ing形式表示主语的某种性质和特征时,通常可以看作形容词。常用来作表语的动词-ing形式有astonishing、amusing、confusing、disappointing、boring、encouraging、inspiring、moving、tiring、interesting、surprising等。
The news that you’re admitted to the university is encouraging.
你被大学录取这一消息鼓舞人心。

我们昨晚看的那部电影非常感人。
①动词-ing形式作表语时,系动词除be动词外还有appear、sound、look、become、come、get、go、grow、keep、remain、seem等。
②动词-ing形式作表语时,相当于形容词,表示主语的特征、性质或状态;而进行时态中的动词-ing形式是谓语动词的组成部分,表示具体的动作,两者不可混淆。
The present situation is encouraging.
目前的形势令人鼓舞。(表语)
The present situation is encouraging us to stride forward in production.
目前的形势正在鼓舞我们在生产上迈步前进。(现在进行时)
温馨提示
3.动名词(短语)与动词不定式(短语)作表语的区别。

exciting

答案及剖析:
1.designed　考查过去分词作定语。动词design意为“设计”,与逻辑主语packs构成被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填designed。
2.sleeping　考查动词-ing形式作定语。修饰名词car accommodations,应用sleeping。
3.seasoning　考查动词-ing形式作定语。此处seasoning作定语,表示用途,意为“调味的”。故填seasoning。
4.exciting　考查动词-ing形式作定语。修饰something,要用exciting,意为“激动人心的”。故填exciting。
5.looking　考查动词-ing形式作定语。people与look之间为主动关系,故用looking。

“Guessing lantern riddles” is an essential part of the Festival.Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns.If visitors have solutions to the riddles,they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answers.If they are right,they will get a little gift.As the riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom,it has become popular among all social strata (社会阶层).

Down in Oaxaca,Mexico,there is a special festival on 23 December called la Noche de Rábanos,or the Night of the Radishes (萝卜之夜).Every year,people from all over the state display their amazing radish sculptures.Both Oaxacans and tourists wait excitedly for 23 December,and line up starting in the afternoon to see the year’s art.
Over a hundred years ago,there was a market held on 23 December called la Vigila de Navidad.It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients,decorations,and so on.Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve (雕刻) radishes to decorate their stalls.The carved radishes became very popular,and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations.Over the years,it is said,the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures.Finally,the tradition has become today’s yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.
The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal (up to 3kg),and are harvested just a week beforehand.There are two types of sculptures:traditional designs and “free” designs.The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca.Free designs can be anything,but sometimes include famous people and animals.There are also two other types of plant sculptures,one made from flowers,another made from cornhusk.
As you walk through the rows of radish art,you’ll hear live music,and you can even see fireworks at the end.Close by there is delicious street food,
Christmas markets,and many galleries and stores,all decorated with lights.
For people wanting to travel for Christmas,Oaxaca is an excellent place to visit.There are lots of different events along with the Night of the Radishes.
The weather in December is usually warm (20℃ on average),and the sky is often sunny and cloudless.It’s a perfect vacation place for people coming from wintery climates.

答案及剖析:
1.were sent　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句中was可知,句子应用一般过去时,主语sky lanterns与动词send之间是被动关系,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语sky lanterns是复数,be动词用were。故填were sent。
2.On　考查介词。当occasion意为“场合”时,前面应与介词on搭配,on important occasions意为“在重要的场合”,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填On。
3.to express　考查动词不定式。本句谓语为light,设空处作非谓语,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to express。
4.shaped　考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为are made of and covered with,所以设空处作非谓语,shape与其逻辑主语Sky lanterns之间是被动关系,所以应用过去分词形式。故填shaped。
5.which　考查定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是lanterns,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
6.height　考查名词。根据空前的冠词a可知,本空应用名词height,意为“高度”。故填height。
7.shining　考查非谓语动词。主句主语是they,谓语动词是swing,所以此处作非谓语,shine与逻辑主语they之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。故填shining。
8.unsafe　考查形容词。根据语境可知,此处意为“不安全的”,应用形容词unsafe,作表语。故填unsafe。
9.a　考查冠词。must意为“必须做的事”,是可数名词,此处泛指“一件必须做的事”,所以应用不定冠词,must以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
10.represents　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的are可知,句子应用一般现在时,“each of which 10.　　　　(represent) good wishes and blessings”是非限制性定语从句,先行词Sky lanterns指物,each of which表示单数意义,从句谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填represents。
