Grammar Revising the Past Participle(復(fù)習(xí)過去分詞)
過去分詞的運(yùn)用要注意以下幾點(diǎn):
1.過去分詞作表語與被動語態(tài)的區(qū)別.
作表語的過去分詞相當(dāng)于形容詞,表示主語的特點(diǎn)或所處的狀態(tài);被動語態(tài)中的過去分詞是動詞,表示動作.例如:
The book is well written.
這本書寫得很好.
The book was written by a soldier.
這書是一位戰(zhàn)士寫的.
過去分詞作表語構(gòu)成的句子一般多用一般現(xiàn)在時,而被動結(jié)構(gòu)的時態(tài)要與相應(yīng)的主動結(jié)構(gòu)一致.例如:
The tall building is completed.
大樓已竣工.
The tall building was completed last year.
大樓是去年建成的.
用做表語的過去分詞,多半已形容詞化或相當(dāng)于形容詞.常見的有:bro-ken,known,surprised,worried,pleased,interested,determined,experienced,etc.如:
I’m pleased to see you.
見到你我很高興.
He is interested in medicine.
他對醫(yī)學(xué)感興趣.
2.過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)語.
及物動詞的過去分詞表示被動關(guān)系
I once heard the song sung in Russian.
我曾聽人用俄語唱了這首歌.
不及物動詞的過去分詞表示動作的完成
When he woke up,he found all the guests gone.
當(dāng)他醒來時,他發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的客人都走了.
3.過去分詞作狀語,它的邏輯上的主語要跟主句主語一致,它們之間的關(guān)系是被動關(guān)系.
Given necessary help,he may finish the work in time.
如果給他必要的幫助,他可以按時完成這個工作.
Supplied by a proper amount of air,the fire continued to burn.
因?yàn)楣┙o了適量的空氣,火繼續(xù)燃燒.
核心知識
1.So what exactly are you suggesting?
那么,你到底想建議什么呢?
有些副詞例如:exactly,always,often等和進(jìn)行時態(tài)連用,表示一種感情色彩.這里,表示說話人的一種不耐煩的情緒.又如:
You mustn’t always be speaking so fast.
你不要總是說得這么快.
Why are you always being late?
你為什么總是遲到?
2.We can bring in some hum our too.= We can make the advertisement humorous too.我們可以使廣告幽默些.
bring in引進(jìn),帶進(jìn),掙得,收入
We have brought in some new products from foreign countries.
我們從國外引進(jìn)了一些新產(chǎn)品.
3.The development of radio,television,cinema,magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising.無線電、電視、電影、雜志和報紙的發(fā)展同廣告業(yè)的發(fā)展是齊頭并進(jìn)的.hand in hand連在一起,聯(lián)合(always happening together)
Theory should go hand in hand with practice.
理論應(yīng)當(dāng)與實(shí)踐相結(jié)合.
Dirt and disease go hand in hand.臟和疾病是連在一起的.
4.Therefore advertising,instead of making a product more expensive,make sit cheaper.因此,廣告不會使產(chǎn)品更昂貴,相反卻會使產(chǎn)品更便宜.
instead of代替;而不是……;而沒有…….后接名詞、代詞、動名詞,有時也接介詞詞組.例如:
He is going to give the lesson instead of me.
他將代替我去上課.
She is going to go over maths instead of English.
她打算復(fù)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué),而不是英語.
They went to the park this morning on foot instead of by bus.
今天早上,他們是步行去公園的,而不是乘公共汽車去的.
5.Once managers would say jokingly,“I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted,but I don’t know which half.”( =..., “I know that much of the money which I spent on advertising is wasted,but I don’t know exactly which part of the money is wasted.”)
在過去,經(jīng)理們常會開玩笑地說,“我知道我花的廣告費(fèi)有一半是浪費(fèi)了,但是我不知道究竟是哪一半.”
1)Once manager would say = Once managers used to talk about the money which they spent on advertising in the following way.
2)jokingly是由動詞ing形式后綴ly構(gòu)成的副詞,譯為“開玩笑地”.類似的副詞還有smilingly(笑嘻嘻地),surprisingly(使人驚訝地),understandingly(理解地)等.
6.Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement,and a person who will buy space in newspapers or time on TV.( = A person who thinks up an idea and a person who will buy space in newspapers or time on TV will also be present at the meeting.)
出席會議的還有廣告的策劃者以及要在報紙上買版面或向電視臺買時段的人.
1)本句是一個將表語在句首的倒裝句.它有兩個并列的主語,并都帶有who引導(dǎo)的定語從句,說明出席會議的兩種不同身份的人.本句用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu),主要是保持句子的平衡,避免頭重腳輕的現(xiàn)象.又如:
Nearby are houses built by the farmers in recent years.
附近是農(nóng)民近幾年自己蓋的房子.
Here is China’s largest tropical forest.
這里是中國最大的熱帶森林.
Also present at the meeting were government officials,scientists and artists.出席會議的還有政府官員、科學(xué)家和藝術(shù)家.
2)think up想出,設(shè)計出(to invent,imagine)
She thought up a funny game for the children to play.她想出了一個有趣的游戲給孩子們做.
The prisoners tried to think up a plan for escape.犯人企圖擬出一個逃跑的計劃.
7.If the advertising fails ,having no effect on sales,the whole programme will be reviewed.

fail vi.失敗,不及格,缺乏
I failed in persuading him.
我沒能說服他.
He failed in the maths examination.
他數(shù)學(xué)考試不及格.
The hot water supply failed last night.
昨晚,熱水供應(yīng)中斷.
fail后接不定式表示“不,不能,忘記”
She got up late and failed to catch the early bus.
她起晚了,沒能趕上早班車.
He failed to see what I meant.
他未懂我的意思.
8.Today’s advertisements often start with a question,or a puzzle,with a purpose of attracting the reader’s attention.
今天的廣告常常以一個問句或一個謎語開頭,目的是引起讀者的注意.
start with以……為起點(diǎn),先做(begin with)
The new English teacher began our class with a joke.
新英語老師上課時先給我們講了個笑話.
Knowledge begins with practice.
知識來自實(shí)踐.
9.But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny.
但這通常包含在一篇有趣而又滑稽可笑的廣告詞中.
text譯為“正文、全文”,在這兒譯為“廣告詞”,又如:
The history contains 300 pages of text and about 50 pages of notes,explanations and questions for study.
該歷史書有300頁正文,大約50頁的注解、注解及供研究的問題.
10.“X puts life into dry hair .
X使干發(fā)增添生氣.
life譯為“精神,生氣,活力”
Put more life into your work.工作時要有精神.
Children are full of life.孩子們生氣勃勃.
典型例題
微型語境題
微型語境題是指考生在解題過程中除要考慮廣義的語法規(guī)則外還要遵循上下文的規(guī)則.此類題的題干可以是一個簡單句,一個復(fù)合句,或由兩個以上的句子和對話組成.
、兕}干是一個簡單句,通過其中一個詞或短語,創(chuàng)設(shè)一個微型語境.
例1 NMET 1999
Few pleasures can equal __________ of a cool drink on a hot day.
A.some B.a(chǎn)ny C.that D.those
此題中的指示代詞that代替前面pleasure避免重復(fù),又因?yàn)槭恰按鬅崽煲环N涼爽飲料的快感”,所以不能用those.故此題應(yīng)選C.
例2 The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier,___________ it more difficult.
A.not make B.not to make C.not making D.do not make
此題中的not用來強(qiáng)調(diào)to make life easier的相反意義.因此要用動詞不定式的否定結(jié)構(gòu).此題應(yīng)選B.
例3 You’ll find the map of great ___________ in helping you to get round London.
A.price B.cost C.value D.usefulness

例4 NMET 1998
European football is played in 80 countries,_________ it the most popular sport in the world.
A.making B.makes C.made D.to make

例5 NNET 1999
_________ you’ve got a chance,you might as well make full use of it.
A.Now that B.After C.Although D.As soon as

例6 NMET 1998
I hate __________ when people talk with their mouths full.
A.it B.that C.these D.them
此題中it作形式賓語,代表后面when結(jié)構(gòu),故此題應(yīng)選A.
例7 NMET 1998
Nobody noticed the thief ship into the house because the lights happened to________________.
A.be put up B.give in C.be turned on D.go out

例8 NMET 1998
They _________ the train until it disappeared in the distance.
A.saw B.watched C.noticed D.observed
此題從句中所提供的信息“直到火車在遠(yuǎn)處消失”,因此可判斷為“他們注意看”.故此題應(yīng)選B.

Professor White has written some short stories,but he is _________ known for his plays.
A.the best B.more C.better D.the most
此題前一個分句中短篇小說和后一個分句中的劇本,應(yīng)有比較的成分.又因?yàn)橐浴瓰橹Q應(yīng)用be well known for.因此此題應(yīng)選C.
例10 NMET 1999
Robert is said _________ abroad,but I don’t know what country he studied in.
A.to have studied B.to study
C.to be studying D.to have been studing
此題后一個分句的意思為:“但是我不知道他在那個國家學(xué)習(xí)過.”因此我們可推斷出他已經(jīng)在國外學(xué)習(xí)過.故此題應(yīng)選A.
例11 NMET 1999
The price________,but I doubt whether it will remain so.
A.went down B.will go down
C.has gone down D.was going down

例13 NMET 1998
Dr.Black comes from either Oxford or Cambridge.I can’t remember___________.
A.where B.there C.which D.that
本題缺少的成分是賓語,副詞不能作賓語,所以A和B可以排除;本題前一句提到兩所大學(xué),即限定了范圍.在“某一范圍內(nèi)選擇哪一個”時,應(yīng)該用which,所以C是正確答案.
例14 NMET 1998
_________ it with me and I’ll see what I can do.
A.When left B.Leaving C.If you leave D.Leave
從and前、后兩部分的意思判斷,前面是一個具有條件從句性質(zhì)的祈使句,正確答案是D.
、茴}干是由對話組成,選項(xiàng)決定于前一個人或后一個人所說的話而設(shè)置的一個微型語境,以此為確定選項(xiàng)的依據(jù).
例15 NMET 1998
-Can you come on Monday or Tuesday?
-I’m afraid ___________ day is possible.
A.either B.neither C.some D.a(chǎn)ny
本題上句提出Monday or Tuesday,即指兩者:從正句“I’m afraid”推測,兩者都否定,所以應(yīng)選擇B.
例16 NMET 1998
-Nancy is not coming tonight.
-But she______________?
A.promise B.promised C.will promise D.had promised
本題上句說Nancy將不來了,下句說“但她答應(yīng)來的呀!”從上下句的情景推測,“答應(yīng)”這一動作是在兩人談話之前發(fā)生的,所以應(yīng)該用過去時態(tài);語境中沒有隱含“過去的過去”,所以B是正確答案.
例17 NMET 1998
-I stayed at a hotel while in New York.
-Oh,did you? You __________ with Barbara.
A.could have stayed B.could stay
C.would stay D.must have stayed
從上句“I stayed at a hotel...”提供的語境看,該對話說的是過去的事情.表示過去本來能做而實(shí)際上沒有做到的,用could + have+動詞過去分詞”,所以應(yīng)選A.
例18 NMET 1999
-Are new rules working?
-Yes.___________books are stolen.
A.Few B.More C.Some D.None
從下句Yes所暗示的情景分析,新的規(guī)則在起作用,由此判斷,現(xiàn)在幾乎沒有書被偷.所以應(yīng)選A.
例19 NMET 1999
-Alice,you feed the bird today,___________?
-But I fed it yesterday.
A.do you B.will you C.didn’t you D.don’t you
從下句回答內(nèi)容所提供的情景看,上句不是一般的陳述句,而是一個表示命令或請求而又保留說話對象(you)的祈使句.所以答案是B而不是D.
例20 NMET 1999
-Hey,look where you are going?
-Oh.I’m terribly sorry._________.
A.I’m not noticing B.I wasn’t noticing
C.I haven’t noticed D.I don’t notice
本題的情景是前一個人向后一個人提出警告后,后一個人意識到了在做那件事的時候沒有注意到,是指“剛才”的事,所以應(yīng)用過去時態(tài),答案應(yīng)該是B.
