tennis/badminton 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 toVIII.阅读理解(20分)AA computer company(电脑公司)
