1、考查介词后的动词用-ing分词
依据英语语法，介词后接动词作宾语时，用作宾语的动词原则上要用动名词。

5. He stood in the door for several minutes before ________whether he’d stay.
1. being 2. doing 3. trying 4. speaking 5. deciding
2、考查习惯上后接-ing分词作宾语的动词
有的动词后接另一动词作宾语时，作宾语的动词习惯上要用动名词，不可以用不定式，比较典型的有admit, advise, allow, appreciate, avoid, consider, delay, dislike, enjoy, escape, finish, forbid, give up, imagine, keep, mind, miss, permit, practice, suggest等。

3、考查具备形容词性质的-ed分词与-ing分词有什么区别
有的动词的-ed分词和-ing分词具备形容词的性质，但因为它们使用方法不同非常大，且同学们在用时常常用混，所以它也是语法填空的考查点之一。
While there are ________stories of instant transformation, for most of us the changes are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be patient.（2014年新课标I卷）
因为是用以说明stories的性质或特点，故要用-ing分词，即填amazing。

3. I don’t really like the author, but I have to admit his books are very ________ .

5. With no one to turn to in such a ________situation, she felt very helpless.
1. interesting 2. boring 3. exciting 4. shocking 5. frightening
4、考查-ing分词派生名词的使用方法
由动词派出来的-ing分词有时可以名词化，变成名词——这也是高考考试英语语法填空的考试知识点之一。
One of my father’s favorite ________as I was growing up was “Try it!” （2014年考试大纲样卷）
因为所填之词前面有所有格和形容词的修饰，说明此词具备名词性质，故考虑填saying；再依据句首的one of…可知，此处的saying应用复数形式sayings。
阅读下面句子，用括号内单词的正确形式填。
1. We’ll reach the sales targets in a month which we set at the ________of the year.
2. If you want to find the ________of the word, look it up in a dictionary.

5. A number of high ________have arisen where there was nothing a year ago but ruins.
1. beginning 2. meaning 3. shopping 4. understanding 5. buildings
5、考查-ing分词派生副词的使用方法
具备形容词性质的-ing分词，原则上不可以修饰形容词、副词或动词，遇此状况应考虑将具备形容词性质的-ing分词变成副词，即在其后加上副词后缀-ly。
When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was ________helpful.（2014年广东卷）
helpful为形容词，故其前应由副词来修饰，所以做本题，先要将surprise变成具备形容词性质的-ing剖析，然后再在其后添加副词后缀-ly，即答案为surprisingly。
