［例1］___________ with the size of
the whole earth，the
biggest ocean does not seem big at all. (2004年湖北卷)
A. Compare B.
When comparing
C. Comparing D.
When compared
【解析】答案为D本句意思是“与整个地球相比，最大的海洋也不算大。”句子主语是the biggest ocean是compare的比较对象，是被动的。C是现在分词表示主动，所以不能选。

cultures，we often

(2006年浙江卷)
A. compared B.

C. comparing D.
having compared
【解析】答案为C本句意思是“当比较不同文化时，我们经常只注意差距而没注意到这众多的相似性。”compare的发出者是we一句子的主语，所以应该用comparing. A和B均表示被动，不能选;D选项中having
done表示发生在谓语动词之前的动作；本题中compare和pay
attention to是同时进行的动作，因此D也不对。

A. having added B.
to add
C. adding D.
added
【解析】答案为C本句意思是“来访的部长表示对会谈很满意，接着说，他喜欢呆在这里。”add在句中是“接着说”的意思，与express紧接着发生，所以用现在分词。A表示发生谓语动词之前；B表示要发生的动作; D表示被动；都与句意不符。

-That’s a very kind ________.（2006 年浙江高考）
A. offer B.

【解析】答案为A句中说“我可以给你买东西。这是一个善意的提议。”offer表示主动提做某事。B是“服务”的意思；C表示要点；D表示建议，均不符合题意。
［例2］-Why did you leave that
position？
-I _________ a better position at IBM. (2005年北京高考题)
A. offer B.
offered
C. am offered D.
was offered
【解析】答案为D句中说“IBM给我提供了一个较好职位。”第一句中用了一般过去时，第二句“给我提供一个好职位”也应发生在过去，并且我是被提供的职位，所以D是正确选项。其他选项时态或语态有误。

A. offering B.
to offer C.

A. demanded B.
reminded C.
allowed D.
hoped
【解析】答案为A本句意思为“在童年，祖母要求我们注意餐桌上的礼仪。”句中的要求是长辈对晚辈的强烈要求，所以应该选demand. B项表示提醒；C项表示允许；D表示希望；都不合题意。

______________ such heavy pollution already，it may now be too late to clean the river. (2001年全国)
A. Having suffered B.
Suffering
C. To suffer D.
Suffered
【解析】答案为A句子意思为“在已经遭受了严重的污染之苦后，人们清理河流太晚了。”虽然句子的主语是it，但真正的动作发出者是人们，是suffer的发出者，并且suffer发生在clean the river之前，因此选A。B项表示分词动作与句子动作同时发生；C表示过去发生的动作;D表示被动；这三项都不合题意。

A. the thief having caught
B. catch the thief
C. the thief being caught
D. the thief to be caught
【解析】答案为C“新证据的发现导致了小偷被捉。”lead to相当于及物动词，需要加动名词作宾语。“小偷被捉住”应该用动名词的被动结构。A是主动形式，不合题意。

response to对……不作出／几乎不作出／立刻作出反应。
（三）重点句型
1. It doesn’t make much of a difference whether a teacher speaks
British English or American English一个老师说英式英语还是美式英语关系不大。
it为形式主语，make作谓语，much of a difference是宾语,whether引导主语从句。
2. Which do you think are funny if any?如果有，你认为哪一个有趣？
这是一个特殊疑问句，句子主语是you, think是主句的谓语动词,which are funny是think的宾语从句。因为这是一特殊疑问句，需要将表示疑问的which放在句首，将助动词do提前。if any是一省略句，补全应该是if there is any.
【真题链接】
［例］—Can I help you，sir?
—Yes，please. Do you have any books
on cooking？
—There are only a few，___________. (2006年全国大联考)
A. if any B.
if have C.
if some D.
if
【解析】答案为A本题考查省略句。末一句的意思是“如果有的话只有几本。”if从句补全完整为if there is any of the books.省略只保留if any.
3 .
The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them.
英国人在省略介词的地方用介词。
这是一主从复合句。主句主语是the British，主句谓语动词是use,宾语为prepositions; where引导的是地点状语从句。

__________ our little Jane can get it.（上海2005春季高考）
A. in which B.
to which C.
that D.
where
【解析】答案为D。“不要把刀放在小Jane够得到的地方。”主句中leave必须与地点状语连用。where表示地点，引导地点状语从句。常出错的原因是把从句看成定语从句，但是关系代词与被修饰词不符。
［例2］If you are traveling
_____________ the customs are really foreign to your own，please do as the Romans do.
(2006天津年高考)
A. in which B.
what C.
when D.
where

did the doctor say?

A. in where B.
in which
C. the place where D.
where
【解析】答案为D第二句说“医生建议我住在空气更新鲜的地方”where引导地点状语从句。
4. But it has also led to lots of American words and structures
passing into British English，so that some people now believe that British English will disappear.
但是它导致了许多的美语词汇和结构进入英式英语，以致于一些人相信英式英语消失。
这是一个主从复合句。主句主语是it，谓语动词是led to，American words and structure
passing into British English是动名词复合结构作宾语,so that引导结果状语从句。

years ago. He _______ there for a few months and then went to America. (2006年江西卷)
A. worked B.
would work
C. would be working D.
has been working
【解析】答案为A本句意思是“我堂兄两年前去了加拿大。他在那里工作了几个月然后去了美国。”work与went
to America紧接着发生的。因此用一般过去时。

answer to the math problem until he ______________ on it for more than an hour.（2006年湖北卷）
A. has been working
B. will have worked
C. will have been working
D. had worked
【解析】答案为A“直到学生们在这道数学题上做了一个多小时，我才会告诉他们答案。” won’t表示将来时，until引导的从句也应该是将来的动作。“做一个多小时”是一持续并且正在进行的动作。所以应该用现在完成进行时表示。

A. did they speak
B. were they speaking
C. are they speaking
D. have they been speaking

result？
—Oh，no，I forgot. I _________ her
now. (2005年全国卷)
A. will be calling B.
will call
C. call D.

the program at home because she didn’t want her parents to know what she
____________. (2005年辽宁卷)
A. has done B.
had done
C. was doing D.

come out so far.
(2005年江苏卷）

B. had worked；were still working
C. have been working；have worked
D: have worked；are still working
【解析】答案为A从前半句中的时间状语before I joined them可知work on the program是过去的过去，应该用过去完成时；从后半句的原因状语“现在还没有结果”可知我们目前还在进行中，故而用现在进行时。
［例8］—Are you still busy?
—Yes，I ____________ my work，and it won’t take long. (2005年浙江卷）
A. just finish
B. am just finishing
C. have just finished

been back at 6 o’clock.
-What a pity！Tina ____________ here to see you. (2005年湖南卷)
A. is B.
was C.
would be D.
has been
【解析】答案为B第一句是一个表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。第二句说“真可惜，Tina来这里看你。”显然，说话时Tina已经离去了。所以应该说“Tina was here to see you just now.”
［例10］Millions of pounds’ worth of
damage _____________ by a storm which swept across the north of England last
night. (2005年重庆卷）
A. has been caused
B. had been caused
C. will be caused

With her beautiful looks, cheerful character and strong
spirit, Karena Lam（林嘉欣）is making waves among Chinese movie fans and professionals （专业人士）.
The Canada - born actress won the Golden Horse Best
Supporting Actress and Best New Performer awards （金马奖最佳女配角和最佳新人奖）for her role in “July Rhapsody” （《男人四十》）in Taiwan on November
16. She won the same titles at the Hong Kong Film Awards in April, 2002.
Lam played a willful （任性的）high school girl in the film and her idol （偶像）Jacky Cheung （张学友）played the girl 's middle -
aged teacher.
Her awards have made her the person to watch in Hong Kong and
Taiwan cinema. But the 24-year-old girl thinks the awards have put more
pressure on her and given her new challenges （挑战）.
Besides Jacky Cheung, Lam has appeared alongside other top
Hong Kong stars. Last year she starred with Leslie Cheung （张国荣）in“ Inner Senses ” （《异度空间》）and this year she acted
with Nicholas Tse （谢霆锋 ）in“ Tiramisu” （《恋爱行星》）. Is there anything that
can stop Lam's success?
“I have learnt that ff someone is trying to hurt you, the
best revenge （报复）is
to keep living happily and having a good life. That’s what I did, ” she said.
She is an optimist （乐天派）and determined to be successful. “I always have a way of finding my
own happiness. I know what's going to make me smile, and I go for it, ”she
said.
Two films—a comedy and a love - story are waiting for her and
she plans to release （首次上演）her first Cantonese （粤语）album next summer.

What comes into your mind when you think about robots? Do you
imagine armies of evil metal monsters planning to take over the world? Or,
perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad
genius? Or maybe you think of man- like robots who act, think, and look like
human beings. In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction
films than with real life. In the real world robots are machines that do jobs
which otherwise have to be done by people. Robots either operate by themselves
or under the control of a person.
In a car factory, for example, robot machinery can put
together and paint car bodies. On the sea bed remote controlled（遥控）underwater machines with
mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers. Robot spacecraft
can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.
Many robots have computer brains. Some robots are fitted with
cameras , sensors, and microphones which enable them to see, to feel, and to
hear. And some robots can even produce electronic speech.
All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like
a human being. Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of
information before they can carry out even simple tasks.
39.
Robots in real life________.
A. can behave like human beings
B. have the ability to control the world
C. can think by themselves
D. can help us with a lot of work
40.
According to this article, which of the following is not true about robots in
the real world?
A. Some robots are as creative as artists.
B. Some robots can help manufacture cars.
C. Some robots can see and hear.
D. Some robots can explore outer space.
41.
Robots can perform many tasks for man because________.
A. they have intelligence
B. they are supplied with computer programs
C. they can imitate human beings
D. they have the ability to learn new things
42.
The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly
in________.
A. mentality B. appearance C.
material D. size
