VII. 用正确的形式填空
1.When she was a little girl, she was afraid of _______(游泳).
解析：先读全句，句子的意思是：“当她是个小女孩时，害怕游泳。

”由此可知，句中缺
一个动词。

试填入swim，检验句子，be afraid of后跟v.-ing形式，所以正确的单词形式
为swimming。

2.My daughter used to _______(弹) the piano.
解析：这句话意思是：“我女儿过去常弹钢琴。

”used to决定了应使用动词原形，所以
正确答案为play。

3.用used to,be used to填空
(1)The Greens _______ taking a walk after supper.
(2)I _______ drink a lot of coffee.
(3)Bamboo can _______ carry water.
解析：used to+动词原形，意思是“过去常常……”，be used to+v.-ing表示“习惯于”，这儿to是介词，后需加名词或动名词，而当表达“被用来……”时，用use的被动语
态be used to,其后跟动词原形。

故答案为：(1)are used to (2)used to (3)be used to
