Unit1考点透视考例回顾
1. Sitting in his now-famous wheelchair... Hawking told the students about his theories and thoughts... (Reading)
【考点】 -ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语应该与句子的主语保持一致。本句中的sitting动作由Hawking发出。
【考例1】 Finding her car stolen, _____.
A. a policeman was asked to help
B. the area was searched thoroughly
C. it was looked for everywhere
D. she hurried to a policeman for help
【解析】 find动作应该由人来发出,所以句子的主语应该指人。A、D两项主语都是人,据句意可知,应选D。
此句可以转换成:When she found her car stolen, she hurried to a policeman for help.
【考例2】 Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden carriage____ the girl and took her away, _____ in the woods.
A. seizing; disappeared
B. seized; disappeared
C. seizing;disappearing
D. seized; disappearing
【解析】由题中的and可知,第一空所填词应与took并列,所以用seized;disappear是不及物动词所以用其-ing形式作状语;disappearing的逻辑主语就是句子的主语a tall man,故选D。
2. Do you have anything that you want to add?
(Grammar)
【考点】当谓语动词为be, have, give, bring等时,作定语的不定式常用主动式表示被动含义。
【考例】 I’m going to the supermarket this afternoon. Do you have anything _____?
A. to be buying B. to buy
C. for buying D. bought
【解析】后句相当于Do you have anything that you want to buy?
应用不定式的主动式表示未发生的动作,故选B。
3. Perhaps the most important thing if we want to make a difference is to find something that we like to do and that we are good at. (Integrating Skills)
【考点】不定式作表语可以表示目的、预期的结果、安排、决定、禁止、命令等。
【考例】 Do let your mother know all the truth. She appears ___ everything.
A. to tell B. to be told
C. to be telling D. to have been told
【解析】 appear相当于系动词,其后的不定式作表语;tell是及物动词,后面要接宾语。在这个句子中,tell后无宾语,要用动词不定式的被动式。知道了一切事情发生在告诉真相之前,要用动词不定式的完成式。故选D。
