6．We had an anxious couple of weeks ________for the results of the experiment.
A．wait B．to be waiting
C．Waited D．waiting
解析：選D。由于是主語在等待，表主動(dòng)關(guān)系，且在題干中充當(dāng)方式狀語。動(dòng)詞不定式不作方式狀語，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng)和伴隨。had an anxious couple of weeks waiting for ...在焦急中等待……的幾周。

-She ________her way towards the centre of the town.
A．got B．did

8．A great man shows his greatness________the way he treats little men.
A．under B．with
C．on D．by
解析：選D。本題考查介詞的用法。“借助某種方法和手段”常用by；而with強(qiáng)調(diào)使用具體工具。with this method搭配相當(dāng)于by the way。
9．-I think he is taking an active part in social work.

A．in a way B．on the way
C．by the way D．in the way

句型梳理
1【教材原句】 It is said that this boy，who had a great gift for languages and persuasion，is the father of the Manchu people.(P39)
據(jù)說這個(gè)男孩就是滿族人的祖先，他具有語言天賦和很強(qiáng)的說服力。
【句法分析】 (1)It is said that...表示“據(jù)說……”的意思，實(shí)際上it為形式主語，that 引導(dǎo)的為主語從句。相當(dāng)于people say that...的意思。該結(jié)構(gòu)還可以改變成sb.is said to do...結(jié)構(gòu)。
(2)注意根據(jù)動(dòng)詞不定式和is said動(dòng)作之間的時(shí)間關(guān)系，使用不定式的一般式、進(jìn)行式或完成式。
①John is said to be one of the best teachers in the school.
＝It is said that John is one of the best teachers in the school.
據(jù)說約翰是這個(gè)學(xué)校最好的老師之一。
②He is said to have written a new book about workers.
＝It is said that he has written a new book about workers.
據(jù)說他寫了一本有關(guān)工人的新書。

[即境活用]
11．Leonardo da Vinci(1452～1519)________birds kept in cages in order to have the pleasure of setting them free.
A．is said to be buying
B．is said to have bought
C．had said to buy
D．has said to have bought
解析：選B。本題考查動(dòng)詞不定式及時(shí)態(tài)的應(yīng)用。因?yàn)閟ay與主語(人)是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài)；再由括號(hào)中的時(shí)間標(biāo)志可知應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。故選B。
2【教材原句】 Having collected and evaluated the information，I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.(P34)
收集和評(píng)估了這些信息之后，我就幫助其他科學(xué)家來預(yù)測熔巖接著將往何處流去，流速是多少。
【句法分析】 having collected and evaluated the information是現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式在句中作狀語，表明從句動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句動(dòng)作之前。
①Having answered the teacher’s questions，she sat down and felt much more relaxed.
回答老師的問題后，她坐下來，感到輕松多了。
②Having been separated from other continents for millions of years，Australia has many plants and animals not found anywhere else in the world.由于與其他的大洲分離了幾百萬年了，澳大利亞有許多在世界上其他地方都找不到的動(dòng)植物。
【溫馨提示】 過去分詞作狀語同現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語時(shí)一樣，其邏輯上的主語就是主句的主語，但所不同的是，過去分詞與主語之間存在被動(dòng)關(guān)系，但有時(shí)無被動(dòng)意味，只是表示一種狀態(tài)或動(dòng)作的完成，而現(xiàn)在分詞與主語之間存在著主動(dòng)關(guān)系。
③Given better attention，the flowers could have grown better.
要是照看得好一點(diǎn)，這些花會(huì)長得更好。
④Dressed in white，she looks really pretty.
穿著白衣服，她看起來真美。
⑤Seeing the photo，he couldn’t help thinking of his good old days.看到那張照片，他禁不住想起了美好的往昔。
[即境活用]
12．________in the queue for half an hour，the old man suddenly realized he had left the cheque in the car.
A．Waiting B．To wait
C．Having waited D．To have waited
解析：選C。本題考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)the old man與wait之間的關(guān)系，應(yīng)該選擇v.Ming形式，再根據(jù)句意得知他是先“wait”后才“realize”。所以先發(fā)生的動(dòng)作應(yīng)該用完成式Having waited。
13．________there for some time，Mr.Johnson knew the place quite well.
A．Having lived B．Living
C．To live D．Lived
解析：選A。考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。Mr.Johnson與live之間構(gòu)成邏輯上的主動(dòng)關(guān)系，“先在那兒住一段時(shí)間”才能“很熟悉那個(gè)地方”，所以應(yīng)用v.Ming形式的完成式作狀語。
3【教材原句】 The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study，but this being my first experience，I stayed at the top and watched them.(P35)
另外兩人攀下火山口去收集供日后研究用的巖漿，我是第一次經(jīng)歷這樣的事，所以留在山頂上觀察他們。
【句法分析】 this being my first experience 是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。
獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)的構(gòu)成方法：
n．/pron.＋v.ing/ed/to do/n./adj./adv./prep.phrase。
其中名詞或代詞起著邏輯主語的作用；另一部分表示狀態(tài)、狀況或動(dòng)作。
獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)本身不是句子，但在語義上相當(dāng)于一個(gè)句子。在句子中作狀語，表示時(shí)間、原因、條件、伴隨等。獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)一般用逗號(hào)與主句分開。
①The guide leading the way，we had no trouble getting out of the forest.向?qū)ьI(lǐng)著路，我們毫不費(fèi)勁地走出了森林。
②Weather permitting，we will go on an outing to the beach tomorrow.如果天氣允許的話，我們將在明天組織一次海濱旅游。
③He left the office，tears in eyes.
他眼里含著淚水離開了辦公室。
④He walked into the classroom，his head lowered.
低著頭，他走進(jìn)教室。
⑤There being no one else to turn to，I had to come to see you.我沒有其他可以求助的人，只能來找你。
14．The children went home from the grammar school，their lessons ________for the day.
A．finishing B．finished
C．had finished D．were finished
解析：選B。本題考查名詞的獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。名詞短語their lessons和動(dòng)詞finish之間是被動(dòng)完成關(guān)系，故用過去分詞finished。
[即境活用]
15．The car burns more fuel，but ________all things into consideration，it’s still a good car.
A．taken B．having taken
C．taking D．to take
解析：選C。獨(dú)立成分作狀語。注意有些分詞短語的形式是固定的，不受上下文影響，因此被稱為獨(dú)立成分。句意：這輛汽車耗油量較大，但是綜合整體情況來看，它仍不失為一部好車。
作文指導(dǎo)
說明文
【體裁導(dǎo)航】
說明文，顧名思義，就是要說清、道明。可見，清晰的描述、不紊的條理、分明的層次和準(zhǔn)確的用詞，都是說明文最明顯的特征。
無論是文字?jǐn)⑹鲞�是圖表標(biāo)識(shí)，只要無時(shí)間限制，說明文中一般都要用現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。
圖表說明文是近年來高考英語寫作的重點(diǎn)、熱點(diǎn)，也是國家英語課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)所要求掌握的。做這一寫作題型時(shí)，同學(xué)們最好能在分清圖與圖之間邏輯關(guān)系的基礎(chǔ)上，列出要點(diǎn)，逐條予以說明。這樣，既能避免主次不分，又能有效防止要點(diǎn)的遺漏。
巧用過渡性詞語，能使文章結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊，條理清晰。
中學(xué)階段常用的過渡詞語主要有以下幾類：
1．表示時(shí)間順序：first, then, afterwards, to begin with, meanwhile, later, soon, finally ...
2．表示空間順序：near, next to, far from, in front of, on the left, on one side ...
3．表示并列關(guān)系：and, as well as, also, too ...
4．表示因果關(guān)系：because, for, since, as a result (of), therefore, thus, thanks to ...
5．表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系：besides, what’s more, moreover, furthermore, in addition, also, one more thing ...
6．表示比照關(guān)系：like, unlike, such as，but, however, on the other hand, on the contrary ...
7．表示條件關(guān)系：if, unless, as long as, so long as, on condition that ...
8．表示概括關(guān)系：in general, in a word, in short, on the whole, to sum up ...
【寫作示例】
由于現(xiàn)代科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，人們現(xiàn)在的日常生活已與幾十年前的大不一樣。那么，隨著社會(huì)和科學(xué)技術(shù)的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展，未來人們的生活又會(huì)是什么樣的呢？請(qǐng)你以“未來生活”為主題，從人類的工作、身體的變化、生活的環(huán)境、交通設(shè)施、溝通方式、住房等方面，展開想象，描述一下未來美好的生活。
要求：1.想象合理，表達(dá)清晰，有條理。
2．描述你想象中的未來生活。
3．詞數(shù)：120～150。
【寫作要領(lǐng)】
本文的體裁是說明文，主題是未來的生活，時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)為一般將來時(shí)。
要求學(xué)生預(yù)測并適當(dāng)描述幾十年以后生活可能發(fā)生的變化，表達(dá)自己對(duì)未來美好的愿望。文章可以分為三部分：一、開頭，二、主體，三、結(jié)尾。第一部分(第1段)開門見山，直接點(diǎn)題，指出未來的生活肯定會(huì)發(fā)生巨大的變化。第二部分(第2和3段)發(fā)揮想象，具體闡述。可從人們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹母鱾�(gè)方面(工作、交通、教育學(xué)習(xí)、休閑娛樂、環(huán)境等)入手。第三部分(第4段)提出建議，表達(dá)自己美好的愿望。
【金點(diǎn)模板】
一、開頭(表達(dá)個(gè)人觀點(diǎn))
I suppose that ...
Personally, I think that ...
With science and technology developing, it is certain that ...
二、主體
1．句型
In the future we will...
More people will be able to ...
At that time, people will be using ...

No matter what happens in the future, we will ...
2．過渡詞

【范文點(diǎn)評(píng)】
The Future Life
①With science and technology developing fast, it is certain that the future life will be more convenient and fastpaced.In the future we will have more free time and we may change jobs several times in our career.
②More people will be able to work at home, doing less manual work but more learning and thinking, which will make our brains bigger and bodies smaller.③Besides, transportation will become cleaner, faster, cheaper and not so crowded.④There will be no need to worry about the environment being polluted while traveling, for new fuels and engines will be used.
At that time，⑤people will be using the Internet to shop and do business while stores will be more like entertainment parks.⑥People will live in green houses and keep in touch with each other by using advanced videophones which can also be used for shopping and banking.
⑦Altogether, compared to the life we live today，the future life will be totally different. ⑧However, no matter what happens in the future, as long as we learn to accept change and appreciate what is new and different，we will be well prepared for whatever the future may have in store and enjoy a happier and healthier life.

One possible version：
There has been a reversal of the braindrain since 1978 across the country.Between 1978 and 2007, about 7,000 overseas Chinese returned to Shanghai after completing their studies abroad.They accounted for about 25% of all returnees nationwide.The year 2008 has witnessed a boom.The number of returnees came up to 15,000.By the end of 2009, a further 22,000 have returned to this city.
The reversal of the braindrain mainly arises from three facts.Firstly, our government values overseas Chinese scholars highly, encourages them to return home to start their own careers and has worked out a series of preferential policies.In Shanghai, the famous international city, they can enjoy a modern lifestyle.Secondly, China’s economy has been developing at a high speed, which provides them with a vast space of development.
Many returnees have achieved outstanding success in scientific research or in highlevel management.They are playing a more and more important role.Thirdly, the current global financial crisis leaves many overseas out of work or at the edge of being laid off.They feel more secure at home because the economy is more stable.
I hope that more overseas Chinese can head home.There is a bright future ahead of them.
