语法精讲
动词-ing形式作定语和表语
语法点拨动词-ing由“动词原形＋-ing”构成。动词-ing形式可在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语
和状语，但不能单独作谓语。
Ⅰ．动词-ing形式作定语
1．位置：单个动词-ing形式作定语，常放在被修饰词前作前置定语；动词-ing形式短语作定语，常放
在被修饰词后作后置定语。
2．形式：动词-ing形式作定语(以do为例)有doing、形容词化的doing和being done三种形式。具体用
法如下：
(1)doing作定语
①doing作定语，do与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示正在进行的或与谓语动词所表示的动
作同时发生的主动动作。例如：
boiling water开水
a barking dog狂吠的狗
a developing country一个发展中国家
Don’t wake up the sleeping child.
不要吵醒那个正在睡觉的孩子。
Phoebe received an e-mail the other day saying her uncle was coming to visit her.
菲比前几天收到一封电子邮件，说她叔叔要来看她。
②doing作定语，还可表示被修饰词的用途或属性，常在句中作前置定语。例如：
a fishing net(＝a net for fishing)渔网
a walking stick(＝a stick for walking)拐棍
a reading room(＝a room for reading)阅览室
a living room(＝a room for living)起居室，客厅
a writing desk(＝a desk for writing)书桌
She trained five times a week at her local swimming pool.
她每周在当地的游泳池训练五次。
No one is allowed to speak aloud in the reading room.
阅览室里任何人不得大声说话。
(2)形容词化的doing形式作定语，相当于形容词，表示中心词的性质，意为“令人……的”；形容词
化的done形式作定语，常表示“感到……的”。试比较：
an exciting story令人兴奋的故事
an excited voice兴奋的声音
a puzzling question令人困惑的问题
a puzzled expression困惑的表情
(3)being done作定语
do与被修饰词之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，表示正在进行的被动动作。
The house being built here belongs to John.
这里正在建的那所房子是约翰的。The meeting being held now is so important that no one is absent.
现在正在召开的会议很重要，所以没有人缺席。
3．扩展成句：动词-ing形式短语作后置定语时可以扩展成定语从句。
The man talking with our headmaster is Tom’s father.
(＝The man who is talking with our headmaster is Tom’s father.)
正和我们校长谈话的那个人是汤姆的父亲。
名师点津
1．表示感情的动词-ing形式作定语时，表示“令人……的”，此类动词-ed形式作定语时，表示“感
到……的”。
2．动词-ing形式作定语如果与被修饰的词之间是被动关系，且强调动作正在进行就用动词-ing形式的
被动式，即being done的形式。

⑥The student stayed in the room used for reading for an hour.
→The student stayed _ __ for an hour.
⑦That was an experience that frightened everyone.
→That was __ _.
Ⅱ．动词-ing形式作表语
1．动词-ing形式作表语有时相当于名词，用于说明主语的内容，即主语等同于表语，两者可互换。
My favorite sport is swimming while my sister’s is playing tennis.
我最喜欢的运动是游泳，而我姐姐最喜欢的运动是打网球。
My full-time job is teaching English, which means I make a living by teaching.
我的全职工作是教英语，这意味着我以教书为生。
2．动词-ing形式作表语有时相当于形容词，用于说明主语的特征，意为“令人……的”；动词-ed形
式作表语有时相当于形容词，表示主语所处的状态，意为“感到……的”。
The news was so exciting that we were excited at the news.
这个消息太令人兴奋了，我们听到这个消息都很兴奋。

——技巧点拨——
叙事类记叙文的写作
叙事类记叙文以叙述事件为主，突出事件的发生、发展和结果。在写这类记叙文时要注意其常用的
篇章结构和写作技巧。
【篇章结构】
1．开篇：文章开篇交代事件的背景——时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)、事件的起因(why)、
经过(how)和结果(what)。
2．主体：重在叙述事件的发生、发展以及结果，可分若干段落来写。
3．结尾：呼应标题，发表感想、愿望等。
【写作技巧】
1．标题：明确、鲜明，指明事件或主题。
2．线索：清晰。可以以时间变化、地点转换和事件发展为线索。
3．写作顺序：通常采用顺叙的方式，也可根据实际需要采用倒叙、插叙等方式。
4．写作手法：以叙述和描写为主，叙述交代事件发展，描写刻画人物形象。
5．过渡：描述时间变化、地点转换、事件发展时要用适当的过渡词，使结构紧凑。
6．人称：第一人称(给人以亲切感、真实感)；第三人称(显得比较客观)。
7．时态：一般过去时为主，可根据需要适当使用其他时态。
——写作要求——
假设你是红星中学高二(1)班的学生李华。下面四幅图表述了近期发生在你们班的一个真实故事，请
根据图片的先后顺序，为校刊“英语园地”写一篇短文。词数不少于80。____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
——思路分析——
题目要求学生看图写故事，这属于叙事类记叙文的范畴。我们可以用第一人称和第三人称来写，时
态用过去时。首先我们对每幅图画进行分析，通过适当的想象，将故事情节具体化，从而使故事真实，可
信：
【第一幅图】
要点：老师跌倒→细节：上课时(“具体化”：上周五、上英语课时)→学生的态度：同学们很担心。
【第二幅图】
要点：立刻背老师上医务室→细节：一个背，两个帮(“具体化”：我、Tom和Mary；诊断结果：腿
受伤)→学生的态度：大家在教室里很担心。
【第三幅图】
要点：(放学后)大家去看老师→细节：聊天(“具体化”：聊伤情，伤势不重)→学生的愿望：希望她很
快痊愈。
【第四幅图】
要点：(三天后)老师回来上课→细节：坐在轮椅上；学生鼓掌→情感：高兴、感动、骄傲。
有了清晰的思路，下笔行文就水到渠成了，我们可以用上很多较为高级、复杂的句式。如：
1．上课时老师突然跌倒了：The class was going on when our teacher suddenly slipped and fell off the
stage./We were having our English class when our teacher suddenly slipped and fell off the stage.
2．送老师去医务室：I, together with Tom and Mary, sent her to the clinic./I, with the help of Tom and
Mary, carried her on my back to the clinic.
3．希望老师很快痊愈：We hoped she would recover soon./Hopefully she would recover soon.
4．老师回来：We were surprised to see that she was back on a wheelchair./She was back on a wheelchair,
which surprised us.
——佳作展示——
Last Friday, we were having our English class when our teacher suddenly slipped and fell off the stage,which made all the students feel worried.
With no hesitation, I, with the help of Tom and Mary, carried her on my back to the clinic. All the other
classmates waited anxiously in the classroom. It turned out that her leg was broken and she had to stay in the clinic.
After school, we all went to see her, and she told us it was not serious. We hoped she would recover soon!
Three days later, we were surprised to see that she was back on a wheelchair to give us lessons. We were
joyful and deeply moved, clapping and cheering for a long time. We were all proud of having such a responsible
teacher.

Songkram is the traditional Thai New Year, starting on April 13th every year. It is also called the “Water
Festival”， because people believe that water will wash away bad luck and make people fresh. On this day, they
sprinkle (洒) small drops of water to bless monks (僧侣) and elders. Their hands are sprinkled with perfumed (香
的) water. In addition, this festival is for rain because it is in the hottest season.
Nowadays, during the Songkram Festival, people throw water on everybody who walks past, and they walk
down the streets with cups or buckets of water. Everyone gets wet, but it is all in a spirit of friendliness, blessing
and fun. People who get wet do not get angry because they know that it is traditional.
People go to the temples to bathe Buddha (佛) images and give special food to the monks. People do good
things, such as freeing fish or birds and other animals from their cages.

Cinco de Mayo is probably the holiday most often celebrated that no one understands.
Literally (根据字面意思) “Fifth of May”， Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the Battle of
Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. In 1861, France sent a big army to invade Mexico, as they wanted to
collect some war debts. The French army was much larger, better trained and equipped than the Mexicans
struggling to defend (保卫) the road to Mexico City. The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a
huge victory. The victory was shortlived, as the French army regrouped and continued, and eventually took Mexico
City, but the joy of an unlikely victory against France is remembered every May fifth.
Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, because it was on that day in 1810 that Miguel Hidalgo
invited his people to take up arms and join him in fighting against Spanish rulers. Independence Day is a much
more important holiday in Mexico. For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States of
America, by Mexicans and Americans alike, than it is in Mexico. One theory for why it is more popular in the USA
is that at one time, it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans living in former Mexican areas such as
Texas and California. It was ignored in Mexico after a while but still celebrated in the north of the border, which
never got out of the habit of remembering the famous battle.
In Puebla and in many American cities with large Mexican populations, there are parades, dancing and
festivals. Traditional Mexican food is often served or sold. Mariachi (街头音乐) bands fill town squares, and a lot
of beers are served. It's a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about
remembering the battle which happened 157 years ago. In the USA, schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and
try their hand at cooking some basic Mexican food. All over the world, Mexican restaurants bring in mariachi
bands and offer specials for what's almost certain to be a packed house.
4．According to the passage, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo because Mexicans ________.
A．paid off their war debts
B．succeeded in defending Mexico CityC．gained independence from Spanish
D．defeated the French army in Puebla
5．Why do more Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
A．Some American areas once belonged to Mexico.
B．Americans are influenced by Mexican culture.
C．Mexicans don't form the habit of having a holiday.
D．Many Mexicans value Independence Day.
6．How can schoolchildren celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
A．By performing music at restaurants.
B．By trying making some Mexican food.
C．By turning the classroom into a battlefield.
D．By offering special gifts to their teachers.
7．By celebrating Cinco de Mayo, people mainly show ________.
A．where the history is honored most
B．what special customs they have
C．how Mexicans gained independence
D．who should be remembered forever

The MidAutumn Festival celebration is not complete without eating mooncakes. These were originally offered
as a sacrifice to the moon, and were later eaten while observing the moon. Mooncakes have therefore become a
symbol of family reunion.
The custom of eating mooncakes came into existence during the Yuan Dynasty and is associated with Zhu
Yuanzhang, the leader of the peasants' uprising. In order to shake off the shackle (枷锁) of the cruel and unfair rule
of Yuan Dynasty, rebellions (反抗) erupted all over central China. Zhu Yuanzhang tried to organize the separate
rebel forces into a united uprising.However, he could not find a suitable means of communication to send his
messages, because of the strict control of the imperial government. Zhu's military adviser hit on a good idea. A
secret message was to be put inside the mooncakes, stating that “the rising was scheduled for the night of the
fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month”. When the mooncakes were delivered to the rebel forces, the message was
received. The rebel forces launched a joint action on the scheduled date, marched into the capital of the Yuan
Dynasty, and won the final victory. The story of this brilliant method began to circulate among
the general population who then started the custom of making and giving away mooncakes as gifts.
Due to geographical differences, the form, texture, and method of baking mooncakes vary throughout the
country. They come in different local styles, such as Guangdongstyle, Suzhoustyle, Chaozhoustyle, Beijingstyle,Ningbostyle, and Yunnanstyle. Beijingstyle mooncakes are perfectly suited for vegetarians, Guangdongstyle
mooncakes contain a little oil and a lot of sugar, Suzhoustyle mooncakes are filled with a lot of both oil and sugar,
while Chaozhoustyle mooncakes contain crunchy sugar.
Today, the most common and bestloved mooncakes are those made in the Guangdong style, known for their
highquality ingredients (原料) and unique preparation process. The convex (凸圆的) patterns on the coverings are
easily identifiable, and Guangdongstyle mooncakes are tender, rich, and heavy, with thin crusts and thick filling.
8．What can we learn about mooncakes from the passage?
A．They are vital to the celebration of the MidAutumn Festival.
B．They have no symbolic significance at the very beginning.
C．The Suzhou－style mooncakes are suited for vegetarians.
D．The Guangdongstyle mooncakes are popular because they're rich in sugar.
9．What's the original purpose of eating mooncakes according to Paragraph 2?
A．It was one of the most important customs of the Yuan Dynasty.
B．Mooncakes were the main food of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising forces.
C．Mooncakes served as an appropriate way of delivering for an uprising.
D．It was a brilliant method that circulated among the general population.
10．Which of the following can replace the underlined “launched” in Paragraph 2?
A．Sent up. B．Received.
C．Started. D．Put down.
11．What's the purpose of this passage?
A．To instruct us how to choose mooncakes.
B．To introduce the origin of mooncakes and their styles.
C．To stress the importance of mooncakes.
D．To advertise different styles of mooncakes.
