9．The book on Steve Jobs is rather expensive，but so well worth _______ that it should be begged or borrowed rather than missed．（　　）
A．to readB．to be readC．being readD．reading

分析 这本关于Steve Jobs的书很贵，但是又是如此值得读，应该恳请把它借来而不能错过．

解答 答案是D．本题考查动名词做宾语．题干中考查短语be worth doing表示"值得做…"，所以排除A和B；其中doing用主动形式表达被动意思，所以排除C，答案选择D．

点评 对于非谓语动词的选择，首先要根据句子的结构判断句中缺少的是谓语动词还是非谓语动词；如果是非谓语动词，在理解非谓语动词的基本用法的基础上再根据句子的结构做出判断．动名词是在句中起着名词的作用，往往在句中做主语、宾语和定语．在动名词的考查中特别关注介词、一些动词和形容词后接动名词做宾语的结构．

19．Oscar the cat seems to have an unnatural ability for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die，by curling up （蜷伏） next to them during their final hours．His accuracy，observed in 25 cases，has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone．It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live．"Many family members take some comfort from it．They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one，"said Dosa，a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University．
The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia （痴呆） unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center，where the facility treats people with Alzheimer's，Parkinson's disease and other illnesses．After about six months，the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds，just like the doctors and nurses．He'd smell and observe patients，then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours．Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously．"This is not a cat that's friendly to people，"he said．
"Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here，"said Dr．Joan Teno of Brown University，who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill．She was convinced of Oscar's talent when he made his 13th correct call．While observing one patient，Teno said she noticed the woman wasn't eating，was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color，signs that often mean death is near．Oscar wouldn't stay inside the room，though，so Teno thought bis streak was broken． Instead，it turned out the doctor's prediction was roughly 10 hours too early．Sure enough，during the patient's final two hours，nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside．
Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced，gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably don't know he's there，so patients aren't aware he's a predictor of death．Most families are grateful for the advance warning，although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died．When Oscar is put outside，he paces and meows his displeasure．
No one's certain if Oscar's behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause．Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him．Nursing home staff aren't concerned with explaining Oscar，so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying．The staff recently gave Oscar a wall sign publicly praising his"sympathetic care．"
