　　. 单项填空

　　1. ________ of danger in the street at night, she had to go home, with a friend ________ her.

　　A. Warned; accompanied

　　B. Having warned; accompanying

　　C. Warning; accompanying

　　D. Having been warned; accompanying

　　【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词。句意: 被警告晚上在街上有危险, 她不得不由一位朋友陪着回家。结合语境, 主语she与warn之间是被动关系, 应用过去分词或现在分词的完成被动式; 在“with +宾语+宾语补足语”结构中, friend与作宾语补足语的动词accompany之间是主动关系, 用现在分词。故答案选D。

　　【加固训练】

　　Having been warned of danger in the street at night, she had to go home, ________ by a friend of hers.

　　A. having accompanied B. accompanied

　　C. accompanying

　　D. being accompanied

　　【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词作状语。结合语境, 主语she与动词accompany之间为动宾关系, 所以要用过去分词, 相当于who was accompanied by a friend of hers。

　　A. about; when B. on the point of; while

　　C. on the point of; when

　　D. on the point of; as

　　【加固训练】

　　We were just ________ call you up ________ you came in.

　　A. about to; when B. on the point of; while

　　C. on the point of; when

　　D. about to; as

　　A. To be adapted B. Adapting

　　C. Having adapted

　　【解题技巧】如何选择定语从句的关系词

　　(1)通读全句, 找准先行词。

　　(2)将先行词放回定语从句中, 判断先行词在定语从句中充当句子的什么成分。

　　(3)如果先行词在从句中作主语或宾语, 那就选择关系代词that, which, who或whom, 再根据是指人还是指物进行选择。

　　(4)如果我们发现从句不缺主语也不缺宾语, 而把先行词放回定语从句中, 先行词前需添加一个介词句子才能完整, 则只能选关系副词, 再根据是指时间、地点还是原因来选择when, where或why。

　　(5)先行词如果在从句中需要变为所有格(也就是表示“……的”), 就选whose。7. The project ________ by the end of 2017 will greatly expand the city’s telephone network.

　　A. accomplished

　　B. being accomplished

　　C. to be accomplished

　　D. having accomplished

　　【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词作定语。句意: 这个到2017年年底竣工的工程将大大扩展这个城市的电话网络。动词不定式的被动形式表示“将要被……”, 作project的定语。

　　【加固训练】

　　The project ________ by the end of 2011 greatly expanded the city’s telephone network.

　　A. accomplished B. being accomplished

　　C. to be accomplished

　　D. having accomplished

　　【解析】选A。根据时间状语by the end of 2011可知, 此工程已经完工, 名词project与动词accomplish之间为动宾关系, 所以要用过去分词作后置定语。分词的完成式形式不可作后置定语, 只能作状语。

　　8. After ________ by the police for several days, the robber had to give in.

　　A. surrounding B. surrounded

　　C. surround

　　D. being surrounded

　　【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词。句意: 在被警察包围了几天之后, 那个抢劫犯最终屈服了。after是介词, 后面的动词要用doing形式, 后面的主语the robber与surround之间是被动关系, 所以选择D。

　　9. (2017·诸暨模拟)The headmaster has promised us that we shall be told ________ the results of the exam come out.

　　A. quits B. to quit

　　C. quitting

　　D. quit

　　C. allocated

　　D. allowed

　　【解析】选C。考查动词辨析。句意: 一半的医疗用品已经被分配给了地震的受害者。separate分离; divide分成; allocate分配; allow允许。

　　Some people advocated that the government ________ stricter measures over the second mortgage on the house.

　　A. took

　　B. would take

　　C. take

　　D. takes

　　【解析】选C。advocate表示“提倡, 主张”时, 后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气, 即谓语部分要用(should)do形式。故答案为C。

　　14. Take scary rides in the park and you will know what it feels like ________ through the air and take off in a rocket.

　　A. falling B. to fall

　　C. having fallen

　　D. fall

　　【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。what为feel like的宾语, it为形式主语, 真正的主语为后面的不定式to fall. . . 。

　　【误区警示】

　　本题可能会误选A。误认为此处是考查feel like doing. . . , 而没有认真分析句子结构和准确理解句意。所以做题时, 准确理解句子的结构和其逻辑意义是提高得分率的关键。

　　(2017·江苏四市联考)

　　Hacking our senses to boost learning power

　　Some schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?

　　It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?

　　There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics(声学)at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens(汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores. “Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling, ”says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.

　　Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when the volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.

　　Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it’s hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a novel—then you do better. It doesn’t matter about the music, ”he says.

　　So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isn’t the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells—grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.

　　【文章大意】一些学校在教室里播放音乐, 并使教室充满使人愉悦的味道, 他们这样做的目的是想了解这样做是否能提高学生的考试成绩。本文作者通过对几个实验的介绍来说明适当的音乐和使人愉悦的味道对学生的确会起到积极的作用。

　　1. The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to ________ .

　　A. create some sense of humour to please the readers

　　B. provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadays

　　C. hold the readers’ attention and arouse their curiosity to go on reading

　　D. declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions

　　A. Peaceful music plays an active role in students’ learning.

　　B. Not all noises have a negative impact on children’s performance.

　　D. Children with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段对Bridget Shield和Julie Dockrell实验结果的介绍可知, 噪音影响孩子们的成绩, 所以我们要为孩子们营造一个更安静的学习环境。

　　3. Ravi Mehta’s experiment indicates that ________ .

　　A. students’ creativity improves in a quiet environment

　　B. we may play some Mozart music while students are learning

　　C. a proper volume of background noises does improve creativity

　　D. noise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段Ravi Mehta的实验结果可知, 适当音量的背景音乐会提升人们的创造力。

　　4. Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students’ learning and creativity, the author’s attitude is ________ .
