题目内容
17．-How long do you spend ______ your homework every day？-Doing my homework usually _____ me an hour and a half．（ ）
| A． | to do； spends | B． | to do； takes | C． | doing； takes | D． | doing； spends |
分析 --你每天花多长时间做作业？
--做作业通常花我一个半小时．
解答 答案：C．考查动名词．句意"--你每天花多长时间做作业？--做作业通常花我一个半小时．"．第一个空，spend…（in） doing sth花费…做某事，因此用动名词doing．A，B不正确．第二个空，表示花费，spend的主语必须是人，take后可以跟双宾语，因此D不正确．答案是C．
点评 动名词的形式是动词+ing，动名词从它的名称上就知道它具有动词和名词的功能，因此它在句中，可作主语、表语、宾语、定语．要结合语境选择合适用法，还要分清spend和take的用法．

4．One thing I was always sure of as a child：I had a wonderful voice．So I was delighted when my second-grade teacher announced her plans for a musical perform at Christmas．
My teacher told us singing was one of the most important ways we could tell God how much we love him．So she would cast singers according to ability．I felt confident about a solo role．However I failed，my teacher thought I was tone-deaf．At that very moment，I（31）C I would be a lip-syncher as a chorus member．I could only mouth the words，but no sound must be uttered（发出声）．
I was so ashamed，I didn't go home after school．I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly's house．She had an answer for （32）D，more than anyone else，she would understand that my world had been turned upside down by this terrible revelation（意外的发现）．
Aunt Dolly （33）A me cookies and milk．
"What will I do？"I sobbed．"If I don't sing，God will think I don't love him．"
She drummed her fingers on the kitchen table as her brow creased（皱） in thought．Finally her eyes grew（34）B．"I've got it!"she said．"I will wear my hat!"
Noticing that I felt very puzzled．She leveled her brown eyes on my face．Her（35）B dropped．"Jacquelyn，I'm about to tell you a bit of secret information about angels，but first you must promise that you will never tell anyone．"
"I promise，"I whispered．
"A simple piece of aluminum foil（铝箔）can work，"said she，"You mouth the words，your silent （36）A reflect off the foil．Angels capture（捕获） the words and put them in special pouches（袋子） they （37）C up to God and God will hear your beautiful voice．"
"Well，where will I hide the foil？"
"My hat!"said Aunt Dolly．"I'll hide it in my hat．I'll sit in the front row．Remember，not a single word to anyone．"
I had a （38）D voice during the unforgettable Christmas perform．With my eyes firmly on her hat，the fact that none present could hear my voice didn't matter．My silent singing was for God's（39）C alone．
Even now，when my world is turned upside down，I think of Aunt Dolly and remember that my childhood beliefs still hold true．I guess just about anything is（40）D when angels are on our side．
