23、使这个家庭更加穷困。本题考查现在分词作状语，表示自然而然的结果。（3 ） held 【解题思路】 句意：我代表整个公司出席了上周举行的会议。本题考查非谓语动词作定语，the meeting 与 hold 构成逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动意义，且表示上周举行的会议，故使用过去分词。（4 ） to find 【解题思路】 句意：他从国外回来，却发现他所有的亲戚都搬到了另一个城市。本题考查动词不定式，表示意料之外的结果。【妙辨异同】 非谓语动词的区别主要看三个方面，一是所充当的成分，二是表示主动还是被动意义，三是和谓语动词表示的动作的时间上的先后关系。简单说，一成分，二主动、被动，三时间。2. （1）
24、to deal 【解题思路 】 句意：我们没有他不行，因为这个问题很难解决。在“be+adj. +todo“结构中，常用不定式的主动形式表被动含义。（2 ） to be invited 【解题思路 】 句意：被邀请参加聚会我感到很荣幸。此处使用不定式的被动形式，因为“我“是被邀请的。（3 ） to drink 【解题思路】 句意：你看，河里的水被严重污染，不适合饮用。在“be+adj. +to do“结构中，常用不定式的主动形式表被动含义。（4 ） to do 【解题思路】 句意：有很多的工作要做，他不得不放弃他的度假计划。此处用不定式作宾补，其逻辑主语为句子的主语，即这件事是主语将要做的，故
25、使用不定式的主动形式。（5 ） to be sent 【解题思路 】 句意：“先生，你有什么要发送的吗？“秘书问她的老板。由句意可知，send 这一动作还未发生；且与 anything 为逻辑上的被动关系，故使用不定式的被动形式。II.单句语法填空1. constantly 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意：我妈妈不断地告诉我要努力学习。根据句意可知，这里表示“不断地“，需要用副词修饰动词。2. previously 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意：他先前是一个记者，现在是一家大公司的秘书。根据句意可知，这里表示“先前“，修饰动词 worked，故使用副词形式。3. surroundings
26、 【解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意：野生动物应该生活在它们的自然环境中。根据句意可知，此处表示自然的“环境“，故使用名词 surroundings。4. tolerant 【 解题思路】 考查词形转换。句意：每个人有时都会犯错，也许你需要对你周围的人宽容一些。分析句子结构可知，此处要填入形容词，be tolerant of. . . 表示“对 宽容“。5. hoping 【解题思路】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Lucy 一看到报纸上的广告就发出了她的求职申请，希望得到这份工作。这里是动词-ing 形式作状语，表示伴随，表示主动意义。6. of 【 解题思路 】 考查介词。句意：当我进屋时，我丈夫正
27、趴在地上找什么东西。in search of sth. 是固定短语，在此处作状语，表示伴随。7. what 【解题思路】 考查名词性从句。句意：他正在以我认为危险的速度开车。分析句子结构可知，此处是介词 at 后跟宾语从句，连接词同时在从句中充当主语，故使用what。8. Offered 【解题思路】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在一部电影中被提供一个重要的角色，Jackie 很兴奋。根据句子结构可知，空处与主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动意义，故应使用过去分词作状语。III.1.As；from 2.at 3.for；into；in 4.to ；to；for 5.on ；by 6.above；by
28、；down 7.of；like；of；by；in 8.up；into；of 9.on；under；by 10.intoIV.1.我还是无法相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。He still cant believe that he is taking up the job that he doesnt like at all.2我很担心这次旅行，所以头几天我心里总是不踏实。Lost in thought，he almost ran into the tree in front of him.3开始的时候，新的环境让我难以忍受。 I think this man is hard to get a
29、long with.4空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。She treats the boy as though/if he were her own son.5到了一个看起来很奇怪的房子，他就把我带进一个明亮而洁净的大房间。 Hearing the news，she jumped with joy.V.1.B 此处 take up 意为“ 接受 ”。sweep up 打扫，横扫；make up 组成，编造；bring up 养育，抚养。2D 句意为：我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到公元 3008 年了。remind“提醒”，符合题意。3C 因 head 与 hit 之间是动
30、宾关系，故此处用过去分词短语作原因状语。4C in no time“立刻，马上”；at all times“总是，随时”；at any time“在任何时候”；at times“有时，间或”。5B a hovering carriage 与 drive 之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。6D what 引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语。7D 分析句子结构可知此处缺少谓语，故排除 B、C 两项。lose sight of“看不见”，catch sight of“ 看见”。由后面的 flew after him 可知选 D。8C 此处考查由“形容词现在分词”构成的复合形容词。A 项应为 s
31、nowcovered意为“白雪覆盖的 ”；B 项应为 newlybuilt“新建的”；D 项应为 wellknown“著名的”。9A 第一空用形容词 exhausted 在句子中作原因状语，表示主语 I 的状态。第二空考查短语 fall asleep“睡着，入睡”。10D 由前面的“with the correct help of my teachers”可知选 D。be optimistic about对乐观；pessimistic 悲观的；worried 担心的；curious 好奇的。VI.1.B 主旨大意题。由文章第一段可知本文主要介绍未来人类的外貌可能会出现的变化。C 项只是其中一个方面。 2D 细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知人类外貌已经改变。 A，B，C 均为人类未来的变化趋势而不是人类变化的证据。3A 正误判断题。第五段指出人类的头发可能会消失，因为 “it does not serve a useful purpose any longer”，即头发失去作用。4B 推理判断题。从人类身体变化可以看出，经常使用的器官部位，如大脑、手指将变得发达，而不常用的器官如头发、四肢会退化。
