动词填空--短文

中考英语短文填空：动词作非谓语（一）如果提示词是动词，一般有两种情况，一是作谓语，确定其时态、语态形式；二是非谓语动词，确定其非谓语动词形式。

前面讲了作谓语的情况，今天讲讲非谓语动词的情况。

非谓语动词笼统地分有：不定式、动名词和分词。

不定式和动名词又有主动式、被动式；分词又有现在分词、过去分词。

总之，非谓语动词形式多样，变化多端，要准确确定非谓语动词的形式，首先要根据其作用及其习惯用法，确定用不定式、动名词还是分词；再根据其与逻辑主语的关系确定用主动式还是被动式、现在分词还是过去分词。

非谓语动词的作用1. 作主语不定式和动名词都能作主语，动名词作主语表示比较抽象的、一般的动作；不定式则多表示更具体的某一次的动作，尤其是将来的动作。

不定式作主语时，由于结构的需要，常用it作形式主语，而将不定式后置。

1. ________ (find) a job in China can be really simple.【答案】finding【解析】句意：在中国找工作确实很容易。

这里是作主语，应用动名词。

2. ________ (get) out of your comfortable home here to some unknown places is a good experience as well.【答案】Getting【解析】句意：离开这里舒适的家去一些陌生的地方也是一种不错的体验。

作主语，应用动名词。

3. These days it is difficult _____ (imagine) a world without books. But human invention does not stop.【答案】to imagine【解析】句意：如今，很难想象没有书的世界会是什么样子，但是人类发明的脚步永远不会停下来。

这里是“it is + 形容词+不定式”句型，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。

动词填空六种时态的构成及用法（1）一般现在时用法：①现在经常性的状态或动作；②客观事实和真理。

构成：①be+表语；②实义动词作谓语标志词：often, sometimes, usually, always, never，twice a month, every day/week/month/year...(every 系列)例句：He usually gets to school early.他通常很早到校。

The moon moves around the earth.月亮绕着地球转。

练一练1.认识从实践开始Knowledge practice.2.如果明天下雨,我们就不去公园了。

If it tomorrow,we to the park.【答案】1. begins with.2.rains,won’t go（2）一般过去时用法：表示过去的动作或状态。

构成：①was/were+表语；②实义动词作谓语标志词：a moment ago，just now,...ago, yesterday, last night/week/month...(last系列)例句：We went to Yunnan last Monday.上周一我们去了云南。

1.She (not visit)her aunt last weekend.2.My friend,Lucy, (study)for the math test and (practice)English last night.【答案】1.didn’t visit 2.studied practiced（3）一般将来时用法：表示将来的动作或状态。

I wouldn’t pay much attention to the teach ers because I was too busy on my phone. Luckily I didn’t get caught using it. I was pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I got Grade D forthe first time. To make matters worse, my mom had to sign the test. It was hard to show my mom the paper. She never expected “D” on my tests. Well, finally, I showed her and she couldn’t believe it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed(失望的).Weeks passed and my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They would say, “We have noticed that you never pay attention to us. It’s like you have your own little world now and we don’t communicate as much with your phone.” I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much time on the phone.A week later I tried going a whole day without a cell phone and it didn’t go that badly. I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them. From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones.Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I’m not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day.

Still no sign of Goldie.“Ca lm(镇静) down, Danny！” I tell myself.But it's hard to be calm.This job is very important. I'll tell you why.Before the race, they 5. (put) a ring on every pigeon's leg. When Goldie comes back, I've got to catch her 6. (take) her ring off as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube(管子)，then put that tube in grandpa's special clock.That records the time that Goldie finished the race. It should be grandpa's job. But while he 7. (prepare) for the race, he fell ill suddenly and was sent to the hospital.So that's why I'm nervous, waiting for Goldie. I'm getting more nervous every minute，because Goldie 8. (be) here by now. But the sky is blue and empty.“9.(not worry)，” I tell myself.“Goldie always comes back.” But wher e is she? What 10. I (tell) grandpa?I wait until it's nearly dark. I give up!

(go) to Shanghai and knocked on the door of every station. But I got refused every time.In one station, a kind lady said my problem was short of experience. “Get some work with a small station and 3. (work) your way up，” she said.I couldn't get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a company and needed someone 4. (manage) the sports center. But again, I didn't get the job.I felt really down. “Your luck will change.” Granny reminded me. I tried another radio station in Beijing. But the owner, a nice man, told me he already had someone.As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer if he5. (not get) a job in a radio station？”I 6. (wait) for the elevator when I heard the man call, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football？” I 7.(put) in front of a microphone and asked to imagine I was commenting(评论) on a football game.“Now you 8.(watch) the football game between Lu Neng and Shen Hua...”On my way home, Granny's words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, boy. And when it 9. (happen), it'll feel twice as good because of all the disappointment(失望) you 10.

(teach) for more than thirty years till now, but what makes her special is her pair of crutches(双拐). The courageous teacher from Gansu province was seriously ill when she was only one year old.She was not able to walk well herself and 2. (use) crutches for the rest of her life. This condition, however, has not weaken Zhang's spirit. Instead, it 3. (make) her stronger to thirsty for bigger dreams. When she was a student, Zhang 4. (put) her heart into learning knowledge, which she believes would make her a successful teacher.After graduation, Zhang wanted a job as a college teacher but she 5. (turn) down because of her physical disability. Zhang did not give up and was finally accepted as a primary school teacher in her hometown in Gansu province.For ablebodied people, it 6. (take) only six minutes to reach school, but Zhang has to spend one hour from home to her work place using crutches.Zhang recalled that one winter day, she slipped and fell in snow, but still tried 7. (reach) school on time.In 1997, Zhang spent 1，000 RMB ($148) from her savings 8. (put) up a reading corner she named “Enlightenment”．In 2002，Zhang launched a charity foundation funded by philanthropists from Guangdong and Hong Kong.The foundation helps poor students, orphaned and disabled children. Zhang hopes to help more people, and now she 9. (try) her best to help others to live a better life. As ablebodied people, let's put more effort on our career and offer more love to the people who are in need. If everybody does like that, there 10.

So he went to a river 1. (get) a drink. But the ant got too close to the river. He 2. (carry) away by the flow(流动) of the river.“Help! Help！” cried the little ant.A dove(鸽子) 3. (sit) on a tree nearby. She saw what happened to the ant. She pulled a leaf from the tree and held it in her mouth. Then she flew over to the little ant. She dropped the leaf into the water. The ant 4. (climb) onto the leaf and got to safety.“Thank you for saving me，” said the ant to the dove. “One day, I 5. (do) something to help you.”“That is very kind，” said the dove. “But I 6.(not think) a little ant like you could ever help me.”A few days later, the ant saw a bird catcher 7. (stand) under a tree. He was waiting to catch the dove with a net.“Oh, no! My friend Dove 8.(sleep). She is in danger! I 9. (help) her.”So, he ran over to the bird catcher and stung(刺痛) him in the foot. The bird catcher cried and threw down his net in pain. The dove was able to fly away.“Thank you, my dear friend. You 10.(save) my life. Now I come to see I was wrong.

Most of them took place while the people 1. (use) mobile phones. If you are not careful enough, you 2. (fall) into a telephone fraud and even lose your life.What is a telephone fraud? It is a kind of fraud conducted over the phone.The cheaters manage 3. (communicate) with you on the phone. Then they advise you to buy something cheap or ask you something about your personal information. When you meet such a case, perhaps you 4. (face) a fraud.Generally speaking, there are some typical ways of fraud such as pretending to be your families, friends and other familiar people in order 5. (get) yourinformation; asking you to transfer some money to get a prize or advising you to buy something cheap online. Some cheaters may even force you to offer them some money to avoid 6. (be) hurt.It is reported that about 438 million people 7. (suffer) from telephone frauds last year. Three university students' lives 8. (lose) in the fraud.In most cases, we can recognize the fraud if we pay attention to it. But if you fall into such a fraud, please keep calm and call the police to ask for help at once.Usually the traps(陷阱) 9. (leave) for the greedy(贪婪的) cat. If you don't long for the cheap things and think twice before you act, such cases 10.

(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.One study shows that doodling may help you 2. ( remember) things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 3. (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.Other people 4. (suggest) other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively.5. (walk) away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you6. (have) a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 7. (write) a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 8. (believe) doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合) many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while you 9. (listen) to a lecture, you use all four.You might think that being good at 10. (draw) is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!1.to stop2.remember3.was encouraged4．have suggested 5.Walking 6.will have7．wrote8.believes9.are listening10.drawing15Afel was only a small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book. In the pictures he saw a lot of children 1. (play) in the snow.Afel didn't understand what snow was. But he dreamed about snow all the time. He dreamed of being able 2. (fly) across the snow.One day when he was twelve, Afel 3. (watch) TV at his uncle's house. The program was full of snow.Not only snow—there were people flying across the snow.“Look! They 4.(fly)！” he shouted excitedly.The snow, and the people... It was just like one of his dreams.“They're skiing.It needs snow，” said his uncle, “It's the Winter Olympics. It 5. (hold) every four years.”Afel 6. (find) out that the next Winter Olympics would be in Sochi, Russia in 2014.“Perfect，” he thought.“Enough time for me to become a go od skier. I 7. (go) to the Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing.”“But there's no snow here！” people told him. “Where are you going to ski？”Afel made himself a pair of skis and skied across the sand.At first he couldn't move, but he practiced and practiced until he could move quite quickly.“How will you go to the Winter Olympics？” people asked him.“Our country 8. (not, have) a team at all. Why 9. (not, do) athletics(田径) instead? We have lots of good runners. And we 10. (win) lots of medals at the Olympics.”Now Afel is practicing skiing down sand dunes(沙丘).

People were rushing down the street. A poor young violinist 1. (play) his violin at the entrance(入口) of the subway station. He played such great music that people slowed down 2. (listen) and put some money into his hat.The next day, the violinist 3. (come) to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some words on it. It said, “A George Blac k 4. (put) an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim(认领) it.” Soon the people were all interested in the words and wondered what it could be. After a while, a man rushed into the crowd, grabbed the violinist's shoulders and said, “I knew you 5. certainly (come)．” The violinist asked, “Did you lose anything？” “Lottery(彩票)．” The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Black's name on it. Black took it and 6. (dance) happily.Black was an office worker. He bought the lottery and won a prize of $500，000. But when he gave $50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, the lottery ticket 7. (throw) in, too. The violinist was a college student.That morning, he wasgoing to fly to Vienna for high education.However, when he found the ticket, he put off the flight and went back to the entrance.“I 8.(fly) to Vienna tomorrow morning. That's OK！” said the violinist.Later someone asked the violinist why he didn't take the lottery ticket to pay for his hig h education. He said, “Although I 9.(not have) much money, I live a happy life. If I lose honesty, I 10.

More than fifty years ago, Chairman Mao called on people to “learn from Lei Feng”. Is the spirit of Lei Feng out of the date(过时) now? Some people show us that it 1. (not be) outdated yet? Here is a true story about the spirit.After the 2014 college entrance examination, Xing Sirui, a 17yearold girl from Dongying, waited for the result. On June 24, while she 2. (walk) along the Qingfeng lake，she suddenly heard someone 3. (cry) for help. She stopped hurriedly and looked around for the voice. After seeing a young woman in the lake, she jumped into the water bravely, 4. (keep) her head above the water and tried to pull her back to the bank. It took her about 45 minutes 5. (finish) the job. At last, the woman 6. (save), but Xing Sirui left quietly without 7. (say) anything. She was praised highly for her behavior and was chosen as the Dongying Finest Girl.In recent years, it is wrongly considered to be old fashion to learn from Lei Feng. Xing Sirui risked her life to save a stranger whom she didn't know at all. She sets an example for us Chinese. In fact, some people around us 8. (do) the same things for the society like her.In my opinion, even in modern times, we 9. (help) each other to build a harmonious(和谐的) society and then our country 10.

My heart was in the right place, but I 1. always (not follow) the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I 2. (send) to the office of the principal(校长). Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked(打屁股) me for putting some ants into a classmate's pencil box, it 3. (not hurt) at all, but it did hurt my feelings. It seemed to prove that I was hopelessly bad.When I was called to Mr. Ratcliff's office for the sixth time，I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I 4. (walk) down there.“Kevin，I 5. (hear) you've been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office 6. (give) you a peppermint(薄荷糖)．”“Really？” I was surprised.“Yes. Now you 7.(take) that peppermint and go back to class.”I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged(吹嘘) to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.Mr. Ratcliff was really kind.He made me 8. (realize) that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by 9. (give) me some love. I 10.
