Translation 我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。家里自用的瓜菜地在甘 蔗地边上的谷仓背后。一天，我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西 瓜自己吃。他们是不许我拿这把刀的，因为它的刀刃比我胳膊还长。 但它是切西瓜的最好工具。一刀下去，西瓜就一分为二了。 我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜，突然感觉脚好像踩着 针一样被扎了一下。我认为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上。 仔细一看，是一条响尾蛇。据说响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响 声以示警告，我肯定是一脚踩到它的嘴巴里了。我边往家里飞奔， 边大声喊叫，脑子里想的是自己肯定要死了。 妈妈赶快扯下围裙，用上面的袋子绑着我的膝盖上部。她让我 在前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当时家里既没有一个男人， 场院里也没有一匹马。最近的住着是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。 再远点是吉姆安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。

妈妈冲向安德森家。安德森的一个儿子跳上马直奔城里，在 安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。回到家， 妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了，因为我直叫系得太紧。妈 妈重新绑上，她用力拉紧带子以致于我尖叫起来。 然后，妈妈又到门廊下朝那条通往城里的路张望。这条 路位于安德森和豪威尔两家开垦地之间，一直延伸到小高地 顶端，因此只要有人马越过高地顶端，你就可以看到他们的 轮廓。我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆，尤其是爸 爸赶车的时候。这时，如果得到允许，汤姆就会因为急着想 吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来，爸爸也总是允许它这么做 的。 给赫伯安徳森下的指示是首先找到爸爸，如果不能马上 找到就找麦肯齐医生，再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。 妈妈一边盯着看谁的马车先出现，一边不时地进屋力求 制止我嚎叫。终于，妈妈说道： “你爸爸来了。”

Dictation A pet is an animal tamed and kept as a favorite and treated with love. The range of animals kept by people as pets today is very wide. For example, rabbits, mice, goldfish, pigeons, horses, pigs, or even snakes are kept as pets by different people. However, dogs and cats are still the most popular pets, and about half the households in Britain own one or the other. The importance of pets in British life is reflected in many ways. In the past, landowners liked to be portrayed with their dogs and horses and many such pictures can be seen in galleries. In many families, pets are regarded as family members, that’s why British people often say “ love me, love my dog.”

宾语+宾语补足语=复合宾语 宾语补足语是位于宾语之后，说明宾语的状 态、特征的成分，多由名词、形容词、副词、不定式，动名词和分词充当。 如: The sun keeps us warm. I heard him singing. You must get your hair cut. We call her Jenny. They found him out. Make yourself at home. They wish you to go with them. 宾语+宾语补足语=复合宾语

复合宾语结构 此结构由主语+及物的谓语动词+宾语+宾语补足语构成。宾语与宾语补足语有逻辑的主谓关系，若无宾语补足语，则句意不完整。

不定式作宾语补足语 B C 1.Did you intend us ___ the new method? A. using B. to use C. using D. are using 2.The teacher encouraged us ______ good compositions. A. Writing B. written C. to write D. is writing B C

1.有些动词作宾语补足语的动词不定式必须带其符号to，即形成ask sb. to do sth．结构。能用于此结构的常见动词 有：advise, allow, ask, enable, beg, cause, drive, encourage, expect, forbid, force, hate, get, intend, invite, permit, persuade, teach, tell, urge, want, warn等。

２在某些动词短语，如：call on, depend on, care for, long for, wait for, prepare for等后面。例如： We are waiting for the bus _____. A. come B. to come The Party calls on us _ __ (go) where we are needed. B to go

3. Though he had often made his little sister ____, today he was made ____ by his little sister. A. cry; to cry B. crying; crying C. cry; cry D. to cry; cry A 表示视觉、听觉和感觉的动词，如see, watch, observe,notice, look at, hear, listen to,以及使役动词have, let, make等后面跟动词不定式作宾语补足语时，必须省略其不定式符号“to”，即形成make/see sb.do sth.结构。但是变成被动语态to是不能省略。

1. He often helps his mother _____ housework after school 1.He often helps his mother _____ housework after school. Which is wrong ? A. doing B. to do C. do 2.He considered him _______ brave. Which is wrong ? A. to be B. / C. being A C

1.help 一词后的不定式，可带 to，也可以不带 to。 2．一些表示心理状态的动词，如：consider, think, believe, discover, judge, suppose, prove, know, imagine, feel, pretend等，其后的宾语补足语若表示什么性质、特征或处于某种状态的特点，这时宾补要用“to be...”这种形式，“to be”亦可省略。 3feel 一词，跟 to be 型不定式带 to；跟 to do 型不定式不带 to。

The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him ___________. A．not to Ｂ．not to do Ｃ．not do it Ｄ．do not to The cave being very dark, he made some candles __ light. Ａ．Give Ｂ．to give Ｃ．Giving Ｄ．given I can’t go with you. I have a lot of work____after. Ａ．done Ｂ．doing Ｃ．to do Ｄ．do A B C

(1)在含有不定式符号“to”动词不定式作宾补时，为了避免重复，口语中常可省去动词原形，只保留小品词to. (2)要注意make作“制造”“制作”时，与用作使役动词表示“使”“让”时结构的不同；have作使役动词表示“使、让”与作行为动词表示“具有”时结构的不同.

（四）现在分词与动词不定式作宾语补足语时的区别 The missing boy was last seen ____ near the East Lake. A．Playing Ｂ．to be playing Ｃ．playＤ．to play A 现在分词作宾补时 ，表示“正在进行的动作”，而动词不定式则表示“一次性的、具体的动作”。 例如： I saw him going upstairs．（表示正在上楼) I saw him go upstairs．（表示上了楼)

Exercise 1. He saw an old man ________ on the bus. A. to get B. got C. getting D. is getting 2.Did you see a young man _____ the house? A. entered B. to enter C. is entering D. enter C D

过去分词与现在分词作宾语补足语的区别 1.I once heard this song ______ in Japanese. D A. is sung B. sang C. Sing D. sung 2.I didn’t want the children _____ out in such weather. A. were taken B. to take C. taken D. taking D C 我们都知道，宾语与宾语补足语之间存在着逻辑上的主 谓关系，因此，当用作宾语补足语的分词表示主动的、 正在进行的动作时应用现在分词作宾补；如果表示的 被动的、结束了的动作则用过去分词作宾补。例如： The manager discussed the plan that they would like to see __the next year. A. carry out Ｂ.carrying out Ｃ．carried out Ｄ．to carry out  C
