动名词being…作表语的用法

在我的印象中,动词be后面接being…时,being 通常是现在分词。如
He is being brave. 他表现得很勇敢。
Your brother is being very annoying this evening. 你兄弟今晚很烦人。
尤其是用在进行时态的被动语态中,比如下面的句子都是从一本语法上找的。如:
He is being carried. 他正被抬着。
The road is being repaired. 路正在修整。
Your steak is being grilled. 你的牛排正在烤。
The case is being investigated. 案子正在调查。
Every room is being used. 每一间屋子都用上了。
Your suit is being cleaned. 你的套装正在洗。
The question is being studied. 这问题正在研究。
He is being interviewed now. 他现在正在接受面试。
我想问的是:being 可以作为动名词用作表语吗?比如:
My task is being their leader. 我的任务就是当他们的领导。
The disadvantage of the tool is being too large. 这个工具的缺点是太大了。

be + being 的用法:

1. 有人认为其中的 being (...) 是表语(也叫做主语补足语)。例如:

There is nothing frightening about difficulties. The only thing to worry about is being afraid of them.(《新编高级英语语法》p. 546 , 章振邦主编,上海外语教育出版社2012年12月第1版)

2.  有人认为其中的 be + ‍being 是 be 的进行时态形式。例如:

He's being careful. 他这次显得很小心。(赵振才教授编著:《英语常见问题解答大辞典》p.172)

3. be用于一般性、长期性等状态时,使用一般时态;表示短暂性、临时性的状态或用于转义等情况时,可以使用进行时态。例如:

You are being quiet today. What's wrong ?你今天这么安静,发生了什么事吗?(外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》p.151)

They are friendly. (长久性,事实) 他们很友好。

They are being friendly. (一时性,而且是表现出来的,未必是真诚的)。 他们显得很友好。

【注意】能与be 的进行时态连用的只有某些动态形容词,如 angry , careful , careless , clever , foolish ,generous , kind , brave , stupied , rude , polite , friendly , thoughtful , naught  等等,而静态形容词如 big ,tall , dirt , large 等不能与be 的进行时态连用。(赵振才教授编著:《英语常见问题解答大辞典》)

4.  “be + being +及物动词的过去分词”是被动语态进行式。例如:

She is being treated in the sanatorium. 她正在疗养院接受治疗。(外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》p.151)

5.  being 可以作为 be 的动名词,该动名词(短语)在句中作宾语。例如: 

I like being alone. 我喜欢独处。

He hated being treated like a child. 他痛恨被当作小孩子看待

(外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》p.151)

6.  being 可以构成分词短语,作状语。例如:

Being charged by the forward, the keeper was injued.因为遭前锋冲撞,那守门员受伤了。

Being very shy ( = As he was very shy), he couldn't ask her to go to the movie with him. 因为他非常害羞,不敢开口邀请她一起去看电影。(外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》p.151)

There being no further buseness, I declare the meeting closed. 由于没有其他事情我宣布散会。(赵振才教授编著:《英语常见问题解答大辞典》)
