高考解读

【高考导航】

2010高考命题趋向分析：

l.condemn是高中重要词汇，该词主要考查condemn与介词to的搭配，如：

condemnsb.tosth.判处某人某种徒刑；condemnsb.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；另夕卜，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.intermsof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：cometoterms,beongood/badtermswith,in

thelong/shortterm等构成的短语引起了命题专家的重视n

4.everytime作连词后跟时间状语从句，类似的有：thefirst/lasttime;the

moment,theminute,thesecond,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°

【真题品析】

1.achievement,lastweek'sministerialmeetingoftheWTOhereearnedalow,

thoughnotfailing,grade.（2007.湖南卷）

A.IntermsofB.IncaseofC.AsaresultofD.Inface

of

【答案】A考查介词短语辨析°

［点拨】Intermsof意思“从---方面来说"；Incaseof万一，以防---；Asaresultof

由于；Infaceof在一-面前，不顾°

2.Theflowershisfriendgavehimwilldieunlesseveryday.（2007四川卷）

A.wateredB.wateringC.waterD.to

water

【答案】A考查非谓语动词用法c

【点拨】theflowers和water的关系为被动，此处用过去分词③

3.（08浙江卷）10.thathewasingreatdanger,Ericwalkeddeeperintotheforest.

A.NotrealizedB.NottorealizeC.NotrealizingD.Nottohaverealized

【答案】C考查非谓语动词q

【点拨】Notrealizing的动作由Eric发出用现在分词表示原因己

4.（08北京卷）24.thatshewasgoingofftosleep,Iaskedifshe'dlikethatlittle

dollonherbed.

A.SeeingB.Tosee

C.SeeD.Seen

【答案】A考查非谓语动词°

【点拨】I可以发出see的动作，表示原因状语q

5.（09福建）6.__nottomisstheflightat15:20,themanagersetoutfortheairportin

ahurry.

A.RemindingB.RemindedC.ToremindD.Havingreminded

【答案】B考查非谓语动词c

【点拨】非谓语动词做状语，逻辑主语是句子的主语themanager,非谓语动词与

句子主语是被动关系，且其表示的动作在谓语动词setout之前已经发生，非谓语

动词用过去分词，选B。

6.（09福建）7.InApril,2009,PresidentHuinspectedthewarshipsinQingdao,the

60thanniversaryofthefoundingofthePLANavy.

A.markingB.markedC.havingmarkedD.beingmarked

【答案】A考查非谓语动词°

【点拨】非谓语动词做状语，其后有宾语，故与逻辑主语是主动关系，且表示的

动作与谓语动词的动作同时进行，用现在分词，选儿

7.（09江西）12.therightkindoftraining,theseteenagesoccerplayersmay

onedaygrewtheinternationalstars.

A.GivingB.HavinggivenC.TogiveD.Given

【答案】D考查非谓语动词°

【点拨】如果把句子补充完整就不难看出：Iftheyaregiventherightkindoftraining,

可知主语they即theseteenagersoccerplayers与give之间是被动的关系，所以用

过去分词。根据主、从句主语一致可省略从句主语的原则，连词if也可省，所以

得出giventherightkindoftraining,theseteenagersoccerplayers.......

8.（09四川）24.manytimes,hefinallyunderstoodit.

A.ToldB.TellingC.HavingtoldD.Havingbeentold

【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havingbeendone来

表示被动和完成c

参考答案MOAAADDCCCBD

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.

Tiredfromtheday'shardwork,hefellasleepsoon.

=(Becausehewastiredfromtheday'shardwork,he...)

由于一天的劳累工作，他很快就睡着了6

Deeplymovedbywhathesaid,Ipromisedtogivehimsomehelp.

(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：

Whenheated,watercanbechangedintosteam.

水加热后可以变成水蒸气c

Seenfromthehill,thetownlooksbeautiful.

(3)作条件状语,相当于if,unless引导的从句c

Givenanotherchance,hecandoitbetter.=(Ifheisgivenanotherchance,...)如果再给

他一次机会,他会做的更好C

Unitedwestand,dividedwefall.团结则存，分裂则亡

(4)作让步状语c

Muchtired,hestillkeptonworking.

(=Thoughhewasmuchtired,he...)尽管很累，他仍继续工作.

⑸作方式或伴随状语C

Lostinthought,healmostranintothecarinfrontofhim.

因陷入沉思，他儿乎撞到前面的汽车上6

Heturnedawaydisappointed.

他失望地走开了c

Theteacherstoodthere,surroundedbymanystudents.

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(itis)heated,waterwillboil.

Shewon'tgototheparty,unless(sheis)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：

Seeinginthislight,thematterisnotasseriousaspeoplegenerallysuppose.

⑶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)C

改错:

Oncetobebegun,theprojectwillnotchanged.

Iftobegivenmoremoney,Iwillsolvetheproblemsoon.

(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d

改错：

Laughedatbyeveryone,buthehadmysympathy.

Knowntoall,sohewasrecognizedveryeasily.

⑸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q

改错：

Nomatterhowwelltranslated,wedon'Mikeit.

【典型例题】

1.Andthere,almostinthebigchair,satherlittlebrother,whoneverhadtobe

toldtokeepquiet.

A.havinglostB.losingC.tobelostD.lost

【答案】D考查过去分词用法“

【点拨】lostinthebigchair为过去分词短语在句中作伴随状语。此句的正常语序

为：Herlittlebrothersatthere...o答案为D。

2.intouseinApril2000,thehotlinewasmeantforresidentsreportingwater

andheatingsupplybreakdowns.

A.PutB.PuttingC.HavingputD.Being

put

【答案】A考查过去分词用法己

【点拨】分析句式，thehotline与put的关系为被动，故用过去分词表示被动完成°

3.andoutofbreath,wereachedthetopofthemountainandstoppedthe

beautifulscenery.

A.Tiring;toadmireB.Beingtired;admiring

C.Tired;toadmireD.Tired;admiring

【答案】C考查形容词短语作状语的用法°

【点拨】tiredandoutofbreath为“形容词和介词短语''在句中作状语。stoptodosth.

停下来去做另外一件事。答案为C°

【实战演练】
