Ⅲ. 语法学习
- ing形式作表语、定语和宾语补足语的用法
1 . 动词的ing形式包括名词和现在分词，二者都可作表语。如：
Our job is playing all kinds of music . ( 动名词 )
The music they are playing sounds so exciting . ( 现在分词 )
注：一般来讲，动名词 ( 短语 ) 作表语，主表可互换，即：Playing all kinds of music is our job .
现在分词作表语，表明主语的性质和特征，主表不可互换。
2 . - ing形式做定语可以表示1 ) 所修饰名词的用途。如：
a waiting room ( = a room for waiting ) 候车室
a walking stick ( = a stick for walking ) 手杖
a sleeping car ( = a car for sleeping ) 卧车
2 ) 所修饰名词正在进行的动作，可以换成定语从句形式。如：
a waiting man ( = a man who is waiting ) 正等待着的男人
a sleeping child ( = a child who is sleeping ) 正睡觉的孩子
a walking man ( = a man who is walking ) 正散步的男人
3 . 在see , hear , feel , watch , notice等感观动词后可以用 - ing形式做宾语补足语。这时 - ing形式和句子的宾语之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，并且 - ing形式表示宾语正在进行的动作。如：
He saw a girl getting on the tractor . ( = He saw a girl and the girl was getting on the tractor . ) 他看见一个女孩在往拖拉机上爬。
Do you hear someone knocking at the door? 有人敲门你听见了吗?

Kinds of music
More details
Folk music
It has been passed down from one generation to another . At first it was never written down . People learned the songs from their families , relatives , neighbours and friends in the same village . These songs were about the country life , the seasons , animals and plants , and about love and sadness in people‘s lives .
African music
It plays an important part in people’s lives , especially for work , and at festivals and weddings , when people dance all night long .
Indian music
It‘s not written down . There is a basic pattern of notes which the musician follows . But a lot of modern music is also written . India also produces films with music , and millions of records are sold every year .
Music in the Caribbean
The slaves who were brought from Africa developed their own kind of music . West Indians make musical instruments out of large oil cans . They hit different parts of the drum with hammers to produce different notes . This type of music has become very famous in Britain and is very good music to dance to .
Jazz
Jazz was born in the USA around 1890 . It came from work songs sung by black people and had its roots in Africa . Jazz started developing in the 1920s in the southern states , Soon it was played by white musicians , too , and reached other parts of the USA .
单元重点词汇
1 . familiar意为“世所周知，熟悉的；看惯的，听惯的，耳熟的”，其后通常跟介词to连用。例如：
a familiar face / voice熟悉的脸 / 声音
His name is familiar to me , but I haven’t met him .
These tales are familiar to Chinese children .
familiar还可以表示“ ( 某人 ) 熟悉 ( 某事 ) 的，精通……的，通晓……的”，其后通常可以跟介词with连用。
例如：
He is more familiar with modern jazz than I .
I am not familiar with the names of plants .
通过以上例句我们可以看出：
①事物当主语时，作“为人所熟悉”解，与to连用；但人当主语时，作“熟悉某事物”解时，则与with连用。又如：
Alpine plants are familiar to him . ( = He is familiar with alpine plants . )
②人当主语而与with连用时，with之后若接事物的话就是“熟悉”之意，若接人的话就变成了“亲密”之意，但这个“亲密”往往很容易变成“亲昵、放肆”。

单元语法
非谓语作定语的区别
动名词、分词和不定式都能作定语，它们在用法上区别如下：
※ 动名词作定语只表示被修饰词的用途，不定式作定语通常表示未来的动作或含情态意味，现在分词作定语表示正在发生的动作或存在的状态，过去分词表示已经完成的动作或无时间性的行为。
This is a sleeping car . (动名词作定语表示用途，它可转换为：This is a car for sleeping . )
A sleeping child is in the room . (现在分词的主动形式作定语表示一个正在进行的动作，它可转换成：A child who is sleeping is in the room . )
The bike being repaired now is mine . (现在分词的被动形式，表示正在进行的动作，它可转换成：The bike which is being repaired now is mine . )
I‘m not sure which is the road leading to the hospital . (现在分词短语不表示正在进行的动作而表示存在的状态，它可转换成：I’m not sure which is the road that leads to the hospital . )
The fallen leaves . (过去分词表示一个完成的动作，The leaves that have fallen . )
I have two letters to write . (不定式表示将来的动作)
※ 不定式作定语，一般只能放在被修饰词之后，分词作定语即可放在被修饰词之前，也可以放在被修饰词之后；通常单个的词放前，短语放在后，现在分词的被动形式放后。例如：
I have a friend living in London . (短语)
China belongs to the developing country . (单个的词)
The building being built now is a hospital . (现在分词的被动式)
The man dressed in a new suit is our manager . (短语)
Only by practice will you be able to improve your spoken English . (单个的词)
Mary needs a dictionary to refer to . (不定式)
※ 分词所修饰的名词就是该分词的逻辑主语。若被修饰的名词与分词之间存在着逻辑上的主动关系，即被修饰的名词是动作的执行者，则用现在分词，若是被动关系，即被修饰的名词是动作的承受者，可用现在分词的被动式或过去分词。它们俩主要从时间上区别，现在分词被动式表示正在进行的动作；过去分词表示完成的动作或无时间性，只表被动关系。例如：
There is a river running around our school . (主动关系)
The watch being repaired now is hers . (被动关系，正在进行的动作)
He is an English teacher liked by all his students . (表被动关系)
Japan is a developed country . (表完成，表被动)
※ 心理反应状态动词，如：excite , fright , move , tire , interest , puzzle , disappoint等，同现在分词作定语，表示“令人……”，被修饰的词通常是物，用过去分词作定语，被修饰的词通常是人。例如：
What disappointing news it is!
Don‘t make fun of the frightened child .
注意：puzzling expression “令人迷惑的表情”；puzzled expression (本身)迷惑的表情。
※ 下列情况下常用不定式作定语。
1 . 在被修饰的词前有形容词最高级、序数词以及the last , the only , the next等后作定语的时候，只能用不定式作定语。例如：
He is always the first to come .
The next man to come was Tom .
This is the largest ship to be serving as a seaside hotel in our country .
2 . have +宾语的句型中，常用不定式作定语。例如：
I have a lot of questions to ask .
He has nothing to worry about .
3 . 在way , pleasure , chance , plan等名词后常用不定式或of +动名词，但在ability , failure , promise后只能用不定式。例如：
I had no chance to speak (或of speaking) to him .
His failure to pass the exam surprised us .
4 . 表示未来的动作。例如：
He has two letters to write .
5 . 与被修饰的词有同位、动状关系的通常只能用不定式作定语。例如：
I have the ability to speak a foreign language . (同位关系)
I’m not sure which restaurant to eat at .
A good place to eat at is the Peace Restaurant .
典型“语义重复现象”错误例析
1 . 汤姆吃完早饭急急忙忙去上学。
[误]After breakfast Tom was hurrying to go to school .
[正]After breakfast Tom was hurrying to school .
[析]hurry(=move quickly)本身含有“走”之意，后面不可再接go, walk , run之类的动词，但可接动词不定式或名词。 例如：We have to hurry away to catch the bus . She hurried to the station .
2 . 我们应当全心全意为人民服务。
[误]We should serve for the people heart and soul .
[正]We should serve the people heart and soul .
[正]We should work for the people heart and soul .
[析]serve本身有“work for（为……服务）”之意。作及物动词用时， 后面不可再接介词for。
3 . 战争结束以后，她成了一名教师。
[误]After the end of the war, she became a teacher .
[正]After the war, she became a teacher .
[析]句中after是介词，有“在……以后”的意思；end是名词，意思是“结束”，用了after，就不可再用end。
4 . 只要校长一回来，我就立刻告诉你。
[误]As soon as the president returns, I will let you know at once .
[正]As soon as the president returns, I will let you know .
[析]as soon as有“立刻”之意，从句中用了as soon as，主句中就不能再用at once, immediately, right away, right now之类的词了。
5 . 这是一部极好的词典。
[误]This is a very excellent dictionary .
[正]This is an excellent dictionary .
[析]excellent, wonderful等词含有“极好的(extremely good)”之意，不能用very修饰。再如：This is a wonderful film .
6 . 大家都非常喜欢这个小男孩。
[误]Everyone all likes the little boy very much .
[正]Everyone likes the little boy very much .
[析]everyone有“每个人，大家”的意思，用了everyone或everybody， 不就必再用all了。
7．这男孩名叫杨洋。
[误]The name of the boy is called Yang yang .
[正]The name of the boy is Yang yang .
[析]name与be called不能同时使用，因为name与be called在语义上是重复的。我们通常说：My name is Li Biao . 但不能说：My name is called Li Biao .
8 . 踢足球是我最喜爱的运动。
[误]Playing football is my most favourite sport .
[正]Playing football is my favourite sport .
[析]favourite本身有“最喜爱(like best)”之意，前面不必再用most修饰了。如：My favourite hobby is collecting stamps .
9 . 如果你知道这个答案，就举手。
[误]Raise your hand up if you know the answer .
[正]Raise your hand if you know the answer .
[正]Put your hand if you know the answer .
[析]raise有“举起”之意，后面不必再加up，它与put up同义。
10 . 请把这个句子再重复一遍。
[误]Please repeat the sentence again .
[正]Please repeat the sentence .
[正]Please say the sentence again .
[析]repeat本身有“say or do sth . again”之意，用了repeat，就不必再用again了，但可说：Say it again .
11 . 你们应当把试卷保管好。
[误]You should take good care of your papers carefully .
[正]You should take good care of your papers .
[析] take good care of有“认真保管好”之意， 后面不要再用副词carefully .
12 . 你喜欢喝茶还是喜欢咖啡？
[误]Which do you prefer more, tea or coffee?
[正]Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?
[正]Which do you like better, tea or coffee?
[析]prefer本身有“较喜欢(like better)”之意，如果句中用了prefer， 一般不再用more了。
