  【热点难点全析】

  The Past Participle(2)as the Object Complement

  过去分词(2)作宾语补足语

  英语中,过去分词可以用作宾语补足语。能用作宾语补足语的过去分词一般都是及物动词,表示被动意义或完成意义,有时候两者兼而有之。作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语有逻辑上的动宾关系,即宾语是过去分词动作的对象。如:

  She found the door broken in when she came back.

  她回来时发现有人破门而入。

  (此句中过去分词作宾语补足语,与宾语door之间具有被动关系,表示一种状态。)

  为了使同学们对过去分词作宾语补足语的用法有一个系统而又具体的认识,本文对以下几种用法进行分析并加以概括,以利于大家掌握

  解释 例子

  过去分词用在表示状态的动词

  keep,leave等的后面。 They kept the door locked for a long time.

  他们把门锁了好长一段时间。

  Don’t leave the windows broken like this all the time.

  不要让窗户一直像这样破着。

  “have+宾语+过去分词”可以表示两种含义。 表示“让某人做某事”。如:

  I have had my bike repaired.

  我让人修了修我的自行车

  The villagers had many trees planted just then.

  就在那时,村民们叫人种了许多树

  表示“遭遇到某种不幸;受到打击”。如:

  My elder sister had her wallet stolen on a bus last month.

  上个月,我姐姐的钱包在汽车上被偷了

  The old man had his wrist broken in the accident.

  这位老人在事故中腕部摔坏了。

  在“make+宾语+过去分词”这种结构中,过去分词的动词必须表示结果。 I raised my voice to make myself heard.

  我提高了嗓门以便被人家听到

  They managed to make themselves understood using very simple English.

  他们用了很浅易的英语来设法使自己被理解

  过去分词常用在感官动词watch,notice,see,hear,listen to,feel,find等的后面。 When we got to school,we saw the door locked.

  当我们到学校时,我们看见门锁着

  We can hear the windows beaten by the heavy rain drops.

  我们可以听到大雨点敲打窗户的声音

  过去分词用在want,wish,like,expect,order等表示“希望,愿望,命令”这一类动词的后面作宾语补足语。 The teacher wouldn’t like the problem discussed at the moment.

  老师不想此刻讨论这个问题

  I want the suit made to his own measure.

  我想要这套衣服照他自己的尺寸做

  My parents expected me to be well-prepared for the entrance examination.

  我父母希望我好好准备入学考试

  过去分词用在“with+宾语+宾补”这一结构中,过去分词与宾语之间是动宾关系。 The thief was brought in with his hands tied behind his back.

  小偷被带进来了,双手被反绑在后面。

  With many brightly-colored flowers planted around the building,his house looks like a beautiful garden.

  周围种了许多色彩鲜艳的花,他的房子看上去就像一座漂亮的花园

  【高考零距离】

  1、(201•福建卷•T) China recently tightened its waters controls near the Huangyan Island to prevent Chinese fishing boats from

  in the South China Sea.

  A. attacking

  B. having attacked

  C. being attacked

  D. having been attacked

  【解析】选C 。本题考查固定词组搭配。prevent sb from doing sth“阻止某人做某事”,本句中的fishing boats和attack是被动关系,所以选择C项,句意:中国最近加紧黄岩岛的水域控制来阻止中国渔船在中国南海被袭击。

  2、(201•山东卷•T) A. to be told

  B. telling

  C. being told

  D. told

  【解析only to do/be done表示意料之外的结果;现在分词作结果状语则表示自然的结果。这里George和tell之间是被动关系,因此用to be told。句意:乔治战争后回到家,结果被告知妻子已经离开了。

  3、(2011•浙江卷•T14)Even the best writers sometimes find themselves ____for words.

  A. lose

  B. lost

  C. to lose

  D. having lost

  【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意:即便是最优秀的作家有时也会难以找到合适的词汇表达。“find oneself +done”表示“感到自己被……”,由于空格处和themselves有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以选用过去分词作宾语补足语。其它选项形式不对。

  (2011•陕西卷•T14)Claire had her luggage

  an hour before her plane left.

  A. check

  B. checking

  C. to check

  D. checked

  【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词的用法。结构“have sth. done”意为“某事/某物被做”。句意:飞机起飞前,克莱尔的行李接受了检查。由于名词luggage与动词check之间为被动关系,故选择过去分词作宾补。

  This restaurant has become popular for its wide

  of foods that suit all tastes and pockets.

  A. division

  B. area

  C. range

  D. circle

  【解析】选B。此题不仅考察学生对于四个选项的认知,更重要的是要理解句子的含义。“这家餐馆越来越出名 是由于它做的各种各样的食物适应各种类型人群。”“a range of ”强调一个系列,而“a wide range of”意为“各种各样的”。正好符合题意。从句子结构来讲,这个句子属于典型的“从句套从句”。“for”引导原因状语从句,“that”引导定语从句。

  6.(2010·福建卷·T27)More and more high-rise buildings have been built in big cities

  space.

  A. in search of

  B. in place of

  C. for lack of

  D. for fear of

  【解析】考查介词短语。句意为:“因为缺少空间,越来越多的高层建筑在城市中被建造。”A项意为“寻找……”;B项意为“代替,替代”;C项意为“缺乏,短缺”;D项意为“担心,害怕”。据句意可知,C项符合。

  Thousands of foreigners were______ to

  the Shanghai World Expo the day it opened.

  A. attended

  B. attained

  C. attracted

  D. attached

  【解析】选C。表示成千上万的外宾被吸引来参加上海的世博会。

  8) —How about your journey to Mount Emei?

  —Everything was wonderful except that our car _________ twice on the way.

  A. slowed down

  B. broke down

  C. got down

  D. put down

  【】B。考查动词短语的区别,答语的意思是:一切都进展顺利除了我们的汽车在途中抛锚了两次外。break down抛锚;slow down 慢下来;get down记下,写下;put down 扑灭。所以该题的答案为B.

  Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history.

  More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

  Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.

  But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling. Some critics (批评家) note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts (成瘾者) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.

  Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶习), under the name of social progress.

  No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

  56. In just one minute in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold ________ tickets.

        A. 500       

  B. 30,000          

  C. 15,000        

  D. 50,000

  57. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should _________.

        A. join a club                                          

  B. kick the habit

        C. win the Pennsylvania                           

  D. save every cent

  58. All the following opinions correspond with those of the critics EXCEPT _________.

  A. lotteries are as bad as legalized gambling

  B. some poor people spend money unreasonably on lotteries

  C. lotteries cause problems like addiction and unwise investment

  D. the profits from lotteries used for senior-citizen education is social progress

  59. The main idea of the passage is that __________.

        A. lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them

        B. playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market

        C. popularity of the lottery in America causes disagreement

        D. lotteries are just legalized vice

  B

  “The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.

  A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”

  To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.

  Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.

  If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.

  60. What’s the main idea of the passage?

  A. The importance of self- control.

  B. How to conquer oneself?

  C. The relation between a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.

  D. A man should keep cool.

  61. What’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”?

  A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.

  B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.

  C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.

  D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.

  62. Which of the following is NOT true, according the to passage?

  A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.

  B. You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.

  C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.

  D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.

  Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year,Rowena will be attending Harvard University.Billy,her younger brother,hopes to go to Cornell.What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school.In fact,they've never been to school.Since kindergarten,they've studied at home.Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.

  The home-schooling trend began in the U.S.in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today,as the home-schooling trend continues to grow,parents ale more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places.But can parents really do a better job?

  The answer in many cases is yes.In many studies,students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools.More importantly,these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge.They were well prepared for academic challenges.

  One such student,Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling.Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.

  “For every home-schooling success story,there are an equal number of failures.”states Henry Lipscomb,an educational researcher.“There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.”For example,they have fewer chances to get in touch with others of their own age.Consequently,they sometimes lack the usual social skills.“No matter what,though,”states Lipscomb,“home-schooling is a growing trend.I think we'll be seeing more and more of this.”

  63.According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?

  A.Home is a safer place for children.

  B.Students taught at home are more self-directed.

  C.Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.

  D.Students taught at home can go to good universities.

  64.The writer thinks

  .

  A.parents can do a better job than schools

  B.home-schooling will be more and more useful

  C.home-schooling is good in some aspects

  D.students taught at home make greater achievements

  65.The best title of this text might be

  .

  A.Home-schooling:A Growing Trend

  B.Home-schooling:A Better Choice

  C.Home-schooling:A Way to Success

  D.Home-schooling:A New Method of EducationC

  There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy traffic.At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is really worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade,a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in distant areas away from any industrial cities.In fact,the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a “greenhouse effect”—— keeping heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature.If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be in water.

  Another view, ess widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age,and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.Perhaps,if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits.people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”.Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worth-while?

  Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.

  The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo or name on their faces and including a link to the company’s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure.

  At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750. 

  Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had heard of people tattooing (纹身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it would last.

  At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. “We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said an alcoholic beverage company.
