填空题 5.  In some parts of this city, missing a bus means (wait) ______ for another hour.
  • 1、
【正确答案】 1、waiting    
【答案解析】 本题考查的是某些动词跟动词不定式与动名词作宾语之间的差别。mean to do sth. 表示“意欲做某事,打算做某事”,相当于want to do或plan to do sth.。mean doing sth. 表示“意味着……”。因此本题选择动名词作宾语。
   类似的用法还有:remember to do sth. (记得去做某事)/remember doing sth. (记得做过某事),forget to do sth. (忘记去做某事)/forget doing sth. (忘记做过某事),stop to do sth. (停下来去做另外一件事)/stop doing sth. (停止正在做的事)。
