Module 3 The Violence of Nature
【美文阅读】
Four natural disasters
A natural disaster is defined as a natural
hazard,which has a negative effect on human beings.Though some of the natural disasters are geological,many of them are due to changes in the climatic conditions.Given below are some of the very important natural disasters.
Blizzard(暴风雪)
A severe winter storm is known as a blizzard.Strong winds,heavy snowfall and low temperatures characterize a blizzard.A blizzard that occurred in 1888 killed over 400 people in the northeastern States.This blizzard is known Great Blizzard of 1888.
Flood
A flood is a natural disaster as it results in the death of human beings and
animals.Crops are destroyed in the flood,which gradually results in increased food prices due to food
shortages.In a flood situation,drinking water becomes scarce because water is polluted.Due to this,many diseases can spread.
Fire
Fire is terrible especially forest fire.Forest fire is also known as wildfire.It is a natural disaster caused by a volcanic eruption or by human carelessness.Wildfire can threaten wildlife and the human habitation close to the forest.
Earthquake
An earthquake occurs when the tectonic(地壳构造的) plates that form the upper crust of the earth collide or slide against each other.When the tectonic plates collide against each other,the stress is released.It is true that animals can sense earthquakes before they occur. However,the behavior of animals cannot be used as a method to predict an occurrence of an earthquake.

(2017·天津高考)He got up late and hurried to his office,
the breakfast untouched.
A.left
B.to leave
C.leaving
D.having left
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。句意:他起晚了,匆忙赶往办公室,没有吃早饭。主语He 与leave之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词作结果状语。leave这一动作并未发生在谓语动作之前,排除D项。 容易误选D。部分考生选择having left,误认为leave这一动作发生在got up和hurried之前。
【答案】 C
完成句子
④他叔叔去世了,留给他很多钱。
His uncle died,
.

After the movie,they returned home happily,
that the house had been broken into.

[自我总结]
过去完成时的被动语态由“
”构成,表示某被动动作在过去某时或某动作
已发生。
【答案】 had been+过去分词;之前
过去完成时的被动语态
一、构成
had+ been+过去分词
二、用法
1.表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成了的被动动作。该动作发生的时间是“过去的过去”;这一过去时间可用by,at,before等构成的短语或when,after,until等引导的从句或通过上下文来表示。
The project had been completed by the end of 2017.这项工程已于2017年底竣工。
The classroom had been cleaned before we came.
我们来之前,教室已被打扫干净。
2.表示从过去某一时间开始,延续到过去另一时间的被动动作,该动作可能还要延续下去;常和for或since引导的表示一段时间的短语或从句连用。
The sale had been advertised for several weeks.
这场拍卖会已经做了好几个星期的广告。
Much work had been done since she arrived here.
自她抵达这里后做了许多工作。
3.用在含有被动形式的间接引语或宾语从句中,常放在像said,told, thought,wondered等过去时动词的后面,表示在这些动作之前已经发生的动作。
My classmate told me that he had been punished by his teacher.我同学告诉我他已经受到了老师的惩罚。
We all thought he had been killed in the plane crash.我们都以为他在飞机失事中丧生了。
直接引语和间接引语
直接引述别人的原话,叫做直接引语;用自己的话转述别人的话叫做间接引语。直接引语如改为间接引语,必须在语序、人称、时态和状语方面做相应变化。
一、句型变化
1.陈述句
直接引语如果是陈述句,变为间接引语时,用连词that引导(that在口语中常省略)。
“I will never forget this interesting lesson,”said Paul.“我永远不会忘记这有趣的一课,”保罗说。
→Paul said that he would never forget that interesting lesson.保罗说他永远不会忘记那有趣的一课。
2.疑问句
直接引语如果是疑问句,变为间接引语时,要把疑问句语序改为陈述句语序(主语在谓语前面),句末用句号,主语的人称、时态和状语也要作相应的变化。
(1)一般疑问句:直接引语如果是一般疑问句,变为间接引语时,要用连词whether或if引导。主句中的谓语动词是said时,要改为asked。没有间接宾语的,可以加一个间接宾语(me,him或us等)。
He said,“Can you speak French?”
→He asked me if/whether I could speak French.
He said,“Did you see me last night?”
→He asked (me) whether/if I had seen him the night before.
(2)特殊疑问句:直接引语如果是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语时,仍用原来的疑问词引导。
“Where do you usually have lunch?” he asked me.
→He asked me where I usually had lunch.
3.祈使句
转述祈使句,要将祈使句的动词原形变为带to的不定式,并根据句子意思在不定式的前面加上tell,ask,order等动词,其句型是:tell/ask/order sb.to do sth.,如果祈使句为否定式,在不定式的前面加not。
“Make sure the door is shut,” she said to her little son. “一定要关上门,”她对她的小儿子说。
→She told her little son to make sure the door was shut.她对她的小儿子说一定要关上门。
“Don't smoke in the room,”he said to me.“不要在房间里吸烟。”他对我说。
→He told me not to smoke in the room. 他对我说不要在房间里吸烟。
二、时态变化
将直接引语变为间接引语时,动词的时态要做相应的变化:
一般现在时→一般过去时
现在进行时→过去进行时
一般过去时→过去完成时
过去进行时→过去进行时
一般将来时→过去将来时
现在完成时→过去完成时
过去完成时→过去完成时
三、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语也要做相应的变化
直接引语 间接引语
this(这) that(那)
these(这些) those(那些)
now(现在) then(那时)
today(今天) that day(那天)
yesterday(昨天) the day before(前一天)
last year(去年) the year before(前一年)
ago(……以前) before(……以前)
tomorrow(明天) the next day(第二天)
next month(下个月) the next month(第二个月)
here(这儿) there(那儿)
come(来) go(去)
bring(带来) take(拿去)
She said to me, “I come here five years ago.”
她对我说,“我五年前住在这儿。”
→ She told me she came there five years before.
她告诉我说她五年前住在那儿。
He said to me,“I will see her next week.”
他对我说,“我下星期去看她。”
→He told me he would see her the next week.
他告诉我说他下星期去看她。
【提示】
(1)人称变化
一随主、二随宾,第三人称不更新。
=“I'll let you know as soon as I get the tickets.”he told me.
→He told me he would let me know as soon as he got the tickets.
“What are your parents and where do they live?”the policeman asked me.
→The policeman asked me what my parents were and where they lived.
(2)时态不变的特殊情况如下:
①直接引语是客观真理、谚语或名人名言时。
He said,“The earth goes around the sun.”
→ He said that the earth goes around the sun.
He said,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”
→He said where there is a will,there is a way.
②当直接引语中有具体的过去时间作状语时,间接引语仍然用一般过去时。
Mr. Wang said,“I was born in China in September,1972.”
→ Mr. Wang said he was born in China in September,1972.
③当直接引语是过去完成时态时。
She said,“They had left when I arrived here.”
→She said they had left when she arrived there.
④当直接引语表示客观的时刻表时。
He said,“The plane takes off at 6:30 a.m.”
→He said that the plane takes off at 6:30 a.m.

完形填空解题技法(九)
研读首尾抓主题法
大多数夹叙夹议类完形填空的尾段是文章的结论段落,是对前面所讲述故事的评价,这样与首段往往形成呼应的效果,所以,考生做此类文章时,要仔细分析首段与尾段的这种对应关系。
一般来说,议论文会按照“总—分—总”的思路来写。首先提出主题,接着对主题进行分析、叙述,最后进行归纳、总结,得出结论或提出建议。因此,一般根据文章的首句及尾句就能抓住文章的主题。故这种抓主题解题方法就是研读首尾抓主题法。

“Mama,when I grow up,I'm going to be one of those!”I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform
when I was three.It was the first time that my

took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training...

that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow—and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
36.A.hobby B.plan
C.dream
D.word
55.A.victory
B.trend
C.tradition
D.desire
【解析】 36.C;55.C。作者三岁时看了首都舞蹈团表演后就决心长大后当一名舞蹈演员,那是她的梦想首次生动地、清晰地呈现出来,并且对她开始训练起了重要的作用。结尾语:我在这个舞蹈团中看到了一种传统,这种传统激励了一代又一代的小女孩和一支辉煌的团队不断发展壮大,鼓励人们每天追逐他们的梦想。由结尾段中的“follow their dreams”可知36空应该用dream一词,这样形成前后呼应。
【技巧点拨】
值得注意的是,主题句不总是在文章的开头,有时在文中,有时在文尾,因此,考生在做题时一方面要快速通读全文,另一方面应注意连接词,如but, however, yet, though, therefore, otherwise等,它们的前面一句或后面一句就有可能是主题句。
考生抓住了主题,就等于掌握了整篇文章,就可根据主题顺藤摸瓜选出正确答案。
