大学英语四级动名词的用法
2007-10-19来源:
动名词在句中起名词的作用,可以充当主语、表语、宾语(动词宾语或介词宾语)。它可以有自己的定语、宾语或状语。
1)动名词作主语
Seeing is believing. Talking mends no holes.Taking a cold shower every morning does him a lot good.____in an atmosphere of simply living was what her parents wished for. (CET-4 1999,1)
A) The girl to be educated
B) The girl educated
C) The girl's being educated
D) The girl was educated
动名词和不定式都可以做主语。不定式做主语表示具体的动作,动名词做主语则可以表示抽象或一般性的动作或情况。根据句意,这个女孩在朴素的生活环境中接受教育是她的父母所希望的,接受教育不是具体的一次性动作,因此用动名词,答案为C。当动名词做主语时,我们常用先行词it作形式主语,而把真正的主语动名词放到句尾,特别要注意如下结构:It is useless (no use, no good, no harm) doing... It is a waste of time doing... It is worthwhile doing...
【例如】
It is no use crying over spilt milk.It is a waste of time discussing such matters with him.It is no good leaving today's work for tomorrow.
2)动名词作动词宾语动名词作动词宾语是大学英语四级考试的重要内容。
a) 英语中有些动词后面只能跟动名词作它的宾语。这类动词常见的有:admit, advice, anticipate, appreciate, avoid,consider, delay,deny,dislike, enjoy,escape,excuse, fancy,favor, finish,imagine,include , keep, mind,miss, postpone, practise,prevent , propose, resist, risk, suggest等。
【例如】

A) your keeping B) you to keep
C) that you keep D) that you will keep
appreciate后面一般加动名词做宾语,动名词可以有自己的逻辑主语,因此答案为A。
That young guy still denies____the fire behind the store. (CET-4 2000,12)
A) to start B)shavingsstarted
C) start D) to have started
Deny后面加动名词作宾语,而且引发火灾是在否认这一动做之前,所以用动名词的完成式,答案为B。
b)动名词在demand, deserve, need, require, want等动词后面作宾语时,表示被动的意思。
【例如】
My shoes need mending.The following language points deserve mentioning.This matter demands discussing.Your hair wants ____. You had better have it done now. (CET-4 1997, 1)
