2.cannot help +动名词=be unable to refrain from doing ---不禁;忍不住;不得不

动名词的考点：
一、动名词作主语
___is a good form of exercise for both young and old (NMET1992)
A. the walk B. walking C. to walk D. walk (B)
动名词作主语表示习惯性，泛指经常性、不具体的动作。而不定式做主语则表示一次性、特指、未来具体的动作。由句意可知主语表示泛指的、经常性的动作。
二、动名词作宾语
1.the officer narrowly escaped ____in the hot battle (MET80)
A. have killed B. to kill C. to be kill D. being killed (D)
分析： 此题考查的是只能用动名词做宾语的动词。Advise, allow, appreciate, avoid,consider,delay,enjoy,escape,excuse,finish,keep,imagine,mind,miss,permit,practise,risk,suggest等动词及feel like, insist on, be fond of, what (how )about等固定词组要用动名词做宾语。本题动名词的逻辑主语是动名词动作的承受者，故用了被动语态。
2. She looks forward every spring to ____the flower-lined garden (shanghai 95)
A. visit B. paying a visit C. walk in D. walking in (D)
分析： 此题考查含有介词to的短语动词的用法。Look forward to ,be (get)used to (习惯于),pay attention to, prefer ---to 等短语中的to 为介词，后跟名词和动名词作宾语。B项后少了to，因pay a visit to 为固定短语。
3. people couldn’t help ____the foolish emperor in the procession (MET 83 )
A. laugh at B. to laugh at C. laughing at D. laughing on (C)
分析： 此题考查一些既可跟动名词也可跟不定式作宾语但含义不同的动词(短语)的用法。
(1)can’t help to do不能帮助做 can’t help doing 情不自禁
(2)forget, remember后跟动名词表示已发生的动作，跟不定式表示未发生的动作。
(3)try to do 尽力做，try doing 试着做
(4)go on to do sth. 接着做另一件事，go on doing sth. 继续做原来在做的事
(5)mean to do 打算做。Mean doing sth. 意味着做
本句意味“人们忍不住嘲笑游行队伍中的愚蠢皇帝”故选C。
4. Only one of these books is _____(MET 86)
A. worth to read B. worth being read C. worth of reading D. worth reading (D)
分析： Be busy ,be worth后以动名词的主动式做宾语。注意： 也有“值得“之意 ，但其用法是：be worthy to be done ,be worthy of being done. 5. This sentence needs _____(MET85)
A. a improvement B. improve C. improving D. improved (C)
分析： need ,want ,require 后跟动名词的主动式或不定式的被动式表示被动意义。又如：The room needs cleaning (to be cleaned ) 房子需要打扫。
三、考查动名词的否定式
_I must apologize for ___ahead of time.
-That’s all right. (NMET 94 )
A. letting you not know B. not letting you know
C. letting you know not
D. letting not you know (B)
分析：动名词的否定式是在动名词前加not.
