Ⅱ.重点句型详解
1.Then_came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill.
接着传来了令人烦恼的消息——多莉得了重病。
(1)表示方位、时间或方式的副词或介词短语,如here, there, now, then, up, down, in, away, off, out, in the
room, on the wall等置于句首时,句子倒装。
①Look, here comes the bus.看,公共汽车来了。
②Out rushed the children.孩子们冲了出去。
③There goes the bell.铃响了。
(2)本句中的news与that Dolly had become seriously ill是同位语关系。一个名词或代词后面有时可接一个单词、短
语或从句,对前者做进一步的解释,说明它指的是谁或是什么,这就是同位语。
①We heard of the news that our team had won.
我们听说了我们队赢了这一消息。
②We must face the fact that we have run out of all the money.我们必须面对我们已花完了钱这一事实。
[即境活用1] (1)In the dark forests ______, some large enough to hold several English towns.
A.stand many lakes B.lie many lakes C.many lakes lie D.many lakes stand
答案:B
解析:表地点的介词短语放在句首时用完全倒装,表示某物位于某处用动词lie.
(2)Nobody believed his reason for being absent from the class ______ he had to meet his uncle at the
airport.
A.why B.that C.where D.because
答案:B
解析:考查同位语从句。句意为:他没来上课,因他必须到机场接他叔叔,没人相信这个理由。his reason后接同位语
从句,由for being absent from the class隔开,从句是个完整的句子,故选B项。
2.Did she die young because she was a clone?
因为她是克隆的,所以才早逝了吗?
young 为形容词,在句中做状语。
在描绘性文字中,形容词(短语)或形容词化的分词有时起状语作用,说明主句所述的原因、时间或主语所处境况或意义增补。
(1)表原因
表原因的形容词(短语)或形容词化的分词多放在句首,句子的主语亦是其逻辑主语。表原因的形容词(短语)相当于原因状
语从句。如:
Thirsty and hungry (=As he was thirsty and hungry), he went to a farmer‘s cottage to ask for
something to eat.
由于又饥又渴,他来到一家农舍要点吃的。
Frightened(=Because she was frightened), she asked me to go with her.
由于害怕,她要我跟她一起去。
(2)表时间
形容词(短语)表主语动作发生的时间,放在句首。其作用相当于一个时间状语从句。如:
Ripe (=When they are ripe), the oranges taste sweet.
这些橘子熟了时,味道甜美。
(3)说明主语的境况或意义增补
形容词(短语)表示主语所处境况或意义增补时,常放在句末。相当于一个和前面句子并列的句子。如:
Holmes found the man lying on the floor, dead (=and he was dead). 福尔摩斯发现那个人躺在地板上,死
了。
One woman was lying in bed, awake (=and she was awake).
有位妇女醒着躺在床上。
For a moment she just stood there, unable (=and she was unable) to believe what had just happened.
她在那儿呆呆地站了一会儿,不敢相信刚才发生的事情。
[即境活用2] (2008•北京)After the long journey, the three of them went back home, ______.
A.hungry and tiredly B.hungry and tired C.hungrily and tiredly D.hungrily and tired
答案:B
解析:本题考查形容词做状语。
