高考解读
【高考导航】
2010高考命题趋向分析:
1.condemn是高中重要词汇,该词主要考查condemn与介词to的搭配,如:condemn sb. to sth.判处某人某种徒刑;condemn sb. to(do) sth.迫使某人接受困难(或不愉快的状况)等,以及在不同的情景中condemn的不同含义
2.overlook的含义较多,要依据具体的语境来判断;另外,overlook作为“忽略”讲时与neglect, ignore等词的词义辨析也是常考内容,它们除了含义有区别,语法结构也不同;2010年可能成为考查的对象
3.in terms of 是新课标中经常出现的常用介词短语。近几年来各地命题非常重视对此种结构的接触短语考查;2007年湖南卷曾考查过这种用法;此外由term构成的不同短语与不同介词的搭配,如:come to terms, be on good/bad terms with, in the long/short term 等构成的短语引起了命题专家的重视
4.every time 作连词后跟时间状语从句,类似的有: the first/last time; the moment, the minute, the second, instantly, immediately等,这些词表示“一-------就----”;2010年有可能考到
6. 过去分词用作状语一致是高考的高频考点。2010年仍需注意

A. Giving B. Having given C. To give D. Given
【答案】D 考查非谓语动词

8.(09四川)24. ________ many times, he finally understood it.
A. Told B. Telling C. Having told D. Having been told
【答案】D 考查非谓语的用法
【点拨】tell与主语之间的关系是被动和完成的关系,所以用having been done来表示被动和完成

参考答案 1-10 A AADD CCCBD
Module8unit4 第二课时
过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语同现在分词作状语一样,其逻辑主语就是句子的主语,所不同的是现在分词与主句主语存在着主谓关系,而过去分词与主句主语之间是被动关系
过去分词或过去分词短语在句中作状语时相当于一个状语从句,可表原因,时间,条件,让步,方式或伴随
【基础过关】
(1)作原因状语,多放在主句之前,相当于because, since, as引导的从句.
Tired from the day’s hard work, he fell asleep soon.
=(Because he was tired from the day’s hard work, he…)
由于一天的劳累工作,他很快就睡着了
Deeply moved by what he said, I promised to give him some help.
(2)作时间状语,相当于when引导的时间状语,有时在分词前直接加when, while, until等词可使其表达的时间意义更明确 如:
When heated, water can be changed into steam.
水加热后可以变成水蒸气
Seen from the hill, the town looks beautiful.
(3)作条件状语,相当于if, unless引导的从句
Given another chance, he can do it better.=(If he is given another chance,...) 如果再给他一次机会,他会做的更好
United we stand, divided we fall.团结则存,分裂则亡
(4)作让步状语
Much tired, he still kept on working.
(=Though he was much tired, he...)尽管很累,他仍继续工作.
(5)作方式或伴随状语
Lost in thought, he almost ran into the car in front of him.
因陷入沉思,他几乎撞到前面的汽车上
He turned away disappointed.
他失望地走开了
The teacher stood there, surrounded by many students.
老师站在那儿,周围围着许多学生.
【点拨】 (1).过分作状语,有时前面带有连词,是状语从句的省略形式,其中省去了从句的主语和be动词,通常主语与主句的主语相同
when (it is)heated, water will boil.
She won't go to the party, unless (she is)invited.
(2).过去分词与句子的主语在逻辑上是动宾关系,改为时间,条件,原因,让步,方式状语从句时,从句的谓语动词应用被动语态(表示伴随情况多改为and +并列谓语).而现在分词与其逻辑主语则是主谓关系
改错:
Seeing in this light, the matter is not as serious as people generally suppose.
(3)过去分词作定语不仅表示被动,还表示已经完成,但过分作状语,动作不一定是已经完成的动作,有可能是同时进行的,也有可能是未来的.(尤其在时间,条件状语从句中)
改错:
Once to be begun, the project will not changed.
If to be given more money, I will solve the problem soon.
(4)过去分词作状语,相当于对应状语从句,不可再用but, so, and, or否则重复
改错:
Laughed at by everyone, but he had my sympathy.
Known to all, so he was recognized very easily.
(5)过去分词的逻辑主语要与句子的主语保持一致,否则用从句或独立结构
改错:
No matter how well translated, we don’t like it.
【典型例题】
1. And there, almost _____ in the big chair, sat her little brother, who never had to be told to keep quiet.
A. having lost B. losing C. to be lost D. lost
【答案】 D 考查过去分词用法
【点拨】lost in the big chair为过去分词短语在句中作伴随状语。此句的正常语序为:Her little brother sat there...。答案为D。
2. ______ into use in April 2000, the hotline was meant for residents reporting water and heating supply breakdowns.
A. Put B. Putting C. Having put D. Being put
【答案】A考查过去分词用法
【点拨】分析句式,the hotline与put的关系为被动,故用过去分词表示被动完成
3. _____ and out of breath, we reached the top of the mountain and stopped _____ the beautiful scenery.
A. Tiring; to admire B. Being tired; admiring
C. Tired; to admire D. Tired; admiring
【答案】C 考查形容词短语作状语的用法
【点拨】tired and out of breath为“形容词和介词短语”在句中作状语。stop to do sth. 停下来去做另外一件事。答案为C
【实战演练】
1.—Will you go to attend her party?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡
将该项涂黑 A
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
56.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B.a mental state present in all humans, including children
C.something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development
D.something hardly to be expected in a young child
57.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A.through connection with society
B.gradually and under guidance
C.naturally without being taught
D.through watching television
58.According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______.
A.the widespread influence of television
B.the poor arrangement of teaching content
C.the fast pace of human scientific development
D.the rising standard of living
59.What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A.It enables children to gain more social information.
B.It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C.It helps children to read and write well.
D.It can control what children are to learn.
60.What does the author think of the change in today’s children?

For a 400-year-old art form, opera had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romance Languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also had a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to associate opera with common people. That means no formal suits, old-style theatre or bank breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such usual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs“mobile operas”, shortened version of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel £Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’Training Program.

Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge ?You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping .You always bought the same brands , usually the brands you mother bought .You didn’t know about unit pricing ,and furthermore ,you didn’t care .It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything .After all ,you’d bought these things a hundred times.
But now ,I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn. How innocent we were ! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket .No worries . Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence .Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I’m shaving from my life . I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper—proof packaging .I am victim of that most dangerous social disease : shoppers’ panic.
I didn’t realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry soap .It seemed simple enough .Just run into the market , grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it . I hadn’t planned on discovering Ecover ,a new brand of laundry soap .It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable . “Healthy ,gentle but effective.” My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package .Then I looked at the price: $ 5.69 for 2 pound . $ 5.69 ! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable ,still on sale for $ 1.39.
Six bucks for laundry soap ! These people must be crazy! Who’s going to pay six bucks for laundry soap ? It’s not as though I can’t afford it . See , it’s concentrated—use less ,get more .BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials… .This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all.
Surely the meat department is most threatening place .Remember what protein was good for you ? That’s all over .Every bite you take kills you. I won’t even mention meat’s moral influence.
When all is said and done ,we still must eat .I gather up my healthy cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.

Night after night,she came to tuck me in,even long after my childhood years.Following her longstanding custom,she'd lean down and push my long.hair out of the way,then kiss my.fore—head.
I don't remember when it first started annoying me—her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me,for they felt work—worn and mush against my young skin.Finally,one night,I shouted out at her,"Don't do that anymore--your hands.are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply.But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.
Time after time,with the passing years,my thoughts returned to that night.By then I missed my mother's hands.missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead.Sometimes the incident seemed very close,sometimes far away.But always it lurked,in the back of my mind.
Well,the years have passed,and I'm not a little girl anymore.Mom is in her mid—seven—ties.and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.She's been our doctor,reaching into a medicine cabinet(医药箱)for the remedy(药物)to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe(安慰)the boy's scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…gets stains out of blue cans, like I never could…
Now, my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad,and on special occasions.I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across, my face to brush the hair from my forehead.Then a kiss,ever so gently,touched my brow(额头).
In my memory,for the thousandth,time,I recalled the night my young voice complained,"Don't do that anymore--your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand,I blurted (冲口说出)out how sorry I was for that night.I thought she'd remember ,as I did.But Mom didn't know what I Was talking about.She had forgotten--and forgiven—long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her carrying hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

第一节:阅读表达:(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
Energy levels ebb and flow throughout the day, influenced by everything from your mood to your body’s circadian rhythms (生理节奏)—daily changes in things like heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure. Here are recommendations of exercising at various times of day.
MORNING: The main difficulty in the morning is dragging yourself out of bed. Once you’ve done that, however, there’s little else to distract you from the business at hand. That may be why people who work out in the A.M. are more likely to stick with it over time, which means they’re well on their way to reaping the long term energy boost that being fit brings.
LUNCHTIME: Most people feel an energy decline between two and three in the afternoon. “It’s not related to eating; it’s just part of the body’s naturalcycle,” says Thomas Reilly, an exercise physiologist. Exercising in the middle of the day can smooth out the low energy, Reilly says, because it increases the flow of hormones (荷尔蒙) that push you up for a few hours after a session. But don’t skip lunch to work out. A light meal an hour before you exercise will give you the energy to get moving.
EVENING: In the late afternoon and early evening, people breathe easier because the lungs’ airways are more open, our strength peaks since body temperature is higher. But, don’t work out too close to bed time or the resulting burst of energy may make it difficult to fall asleep.

Welcome to our school.
I feel it an honor to have the chance to tell you something about our activities at school after class. We have one hour of activities from 4:20 to 5:20 in the afternoon. Some students read books in the reading - room; some have sports on the playground; some sing songs in the theatre hall. Some learn to operate computers in the lab and others take part in their group work about different subjects. The majority are most interested in sports and computers.
We hope that we can have less homework and more time to join in the activities. We are also looking forward to more visits and tour trips.
Thank you.
