她喜欢唱歌，但她今天不想唱。
2）在begin, start, continue后跟－ing形式和不定式作宾语没有区别，但start，begin本身为进行式或后接realize, wonder, understand等词时，常用不定式作宾语。如：
I began to realize that I was wrong．
我渐渐地认识到我错了。
3）在allow, permit, advise等词后如没有提到动作的执行者时，就用－ing形式作宾语；如提到有关人员时，则不用不定式，其结构为allow／permit／advise doing sth．燼llow／permit／advise sb．to do sth．如： They don’t allow parking．他们不允许停车。 They don’t allow us to park here．他们不允许我们在这儿停车。

【简析】副词immediately的意思是“立刻、马上”，同at once；rapidly的意思是“迅速地”，强调速度；hurriedly的意思是“匆忙地”，其所修饰的动作往往是由有生命的人或动物发出的；lately的意思是“近来”，同recently。依题意选D。
【教材】Besides，I enjoy learning about new things from politics to sports and music．
【考题6】Does John know any other foreign language ____ French？
A．except B．but C．besides D．beside
【考题7】I really enjoy ____ that kind of job.
A．do B．doing C．to do D．to be doing
【简析】besides作副词的意思是“而且、还有”，与句子之间通常用“，”隔开；作介词时，与but／except一样有“除……之外”的意思，但是用法不同，besides的意思是“除……之外，还有……”，是肯定的，在句中通常有else，other等词作标志，而except／but的意思是“除……之外，没有……”，是否定的。故考题6选C。
及物动词enjoy可以跟名词、代词或V-ing形式作宾语，但是通常不跟动词不定式作宾语，常见的可以跟 V-ing形式而不可以跟动词不定式作宾语的及物动词（词组）可以用下面一句话来概括： Safe camp is God．“安全营是上帝。”这句话中的每个字母都代表一个或若干个后面通常只接V-ing形式而不接不定式作宾语的动词（词组），分别是：
Safe s：suggest／succeed in a：admit
f：finish e：escape ／enjoy
camp c：consider a：avoid ／allow
m：mind ／miss p：practise
is i：imagine ／insist on s：stop
God g：give up ／go on o：object to d：delay ／deny
所以考题7选B。
