此处look为系动词。as if=as though,意为“仿佛,好像”。
精讲拓展:
当用在look, feel, smell, taste, sound等系动词后面.议论可能是真实的事或情形时,as if后可用陈述语气。
as if/though引导状语从句或表语从句时,若与事实相反或不符,通常用虚拟语气;表示与现在事实相反,从句谓语动词用过去时,be动词用were;表示与过去事实相反时,用过去完成时。
朗文在线:
①We have missed the bus; it looks as if we'll have to walk.
②It sounds as if you had a good time in Qingdao.
③She loves the little boy as if/though he were her own child.

9.He arrived in New Orleans without a penny in his pocket only to find that there were no boats for South America.他身无分文来到奥尔良时,却发现那里没有开往南美洲的船只了。
only to find that...是动词不定式作结果状语。
动词不定式作结果状语表示意料之外的结果,而动词的-ing形式作结果状语表示顺其自然发生的情况。
朗文在线:
①He went back home early, only to find that his house had been broken into.
②He hurried to the airport only to be told that the film star had left.
③Football is played in so many countries, making it the most popular sport in the world.
活学巧练:
He hurried to the stadium without supper, ________ the football match he had been longing to watch was cancelled.
A. only to be told B. only telling
C. only to tell D. only told
答案与解析:A 此题考查动词不定式作结果状语。句意:没来得及吃晚饭,他就急急忙忙赶到体育馆,结果人家告诉他,他一直盼望的足球赛取消了。动词不定式前面常常加一个only作结果状语,表示出乎人的预料。
10.非谓语动词
非谓语动词分为不定式、动名词和分词,分词又分为过去分词和现在分词两种形式,现在分词和动名词在现行语法中统称为动词的-ing形式,为了便于区别,我们仍然按照传统语法把它们分开。

非谓语动词答题技巧
非谓语动词是高中语法的重点,也是难点,学生常常对此感到头疼。其实只要理解并掌握非谓语动词各种形式的特点,做起题来会很轻松。重要的是要熟练掌握非谓语动词的各种变化形式。熟悉了非谓语动词的形式后,做题时可作如下四步分析:
1.分析句子结构
(1)________ many times, but he still couldn't
understand it.
________ many times,he still couldn't
understand it.
A.Having been told
B.Told
C.He was told
D.Though he had been hold
(3)________ to the left, you'll find the post
office.
(4)If you ________ to the left, you'll find the
post office.
(5)________ to the left, and you'll find the post
office.
A. T(t)urning B. T(t)o turn
C. T(t)urn D. T(t)urned
分析:句(1)用连词but引导两个并列分句,因此,前面也是个独立句子成分,故选C。
句(2)用逗号隔开,且无连词引导,因此,前面不是独立的句子结构,只是句子的一个成分,故选A或B,用非谓语动词作状语。
句(3)选A,原因同句(2)。
句(4)前面用if引导从句,故选C,作为从句谓语。
句(5)选C,构成“祈使句+and+you”句型
2.分析逻辑主语
确定要选非谓语动词之后,第二步就要分析其逻辑主语。非谓语动词虽不能作谓语,但仍具有动词特点,其逻辑上的动作执行者就是其逻辑主语。非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语须和句子的真正主语一致。若不一致,则须加上自己的逻辑主语。
(1)________ being no buses, we had to walk home.
(2)________ being fine weather, we can go out for a picnic.
A. There B. That
C. This D. It
分析:(1)独立主格结构选A;(2)独立主格结构选D。
3.分析语态
分析语态就是在确定逻辑主语之后,分析非谓语动词和逻辑主语在搭配使用时是主动还是被动关系。
(1)________ from space,the earth looks blue.
(2)________ from space,we can see the earth is blue.
A. Seen B. Seeing
C. To see D. See
分析:这两个题选项中的非谓语动词都没有加自己的逻辑主语,因此其逻辑主语就是句子的主语。句(1)“地球被看起来”,表被动,故选A,用过去分词表被动。句(2)“我们主动看……”表主动,选B,用现在分词表主动。
(3)The dirty clothes ________, the girl hung them up outside.
(4)________ the dirty clothes, the girl hung them up outside.
A. W(w)as washed B. W(w)ashed
C. W(w)ere washed D. H(h)aving washed
分析:句(3)前面应用非谓语动词作句子的状语,逻辑主语是“the dirty clothes”,和动词搭配表示“衣服被洗”,选B。句(4)逻辑主语为句子的主语“the girl”,表示“女孩洗衣服”,为主动关系,选D。
4.分析时态
在选定了主动语态或被动语态后,还要考虑动作发生的时间问题,即时态。
(1) The building ________ now will be a restaurant.
(2) The building ________ next year will be a restaurant.
(3)The building ________ last year is a restaurant.
A. having been built B. to be built
C. being built D. built
分析:句(1)中“now”说明大楼正在被修,故用进行式,选C。句(2)中“next year”说明大楼将在明年被修,故用表将来的不定式,选B。句(3)中“last year”说明大楼已被修,但不能选A,因为现在分词的完成式不能作定语,故用过去分词,选D。
又如:
(4) He stood there ________ for his mother.
(5)________ for two hours, he went away.
A. W(w)aiting B. T(t)o wait
C. W(w)aited D. H(h)aving waited
分析:句(4)表示“站在那儿等”,两个动作同时发生,故选A作伴随状语。句(5)表示已经等了两个小时,非谓语动词的动作发生在谓语动词“went away”之前,故用完成式,选D。
需要注意的是,非谓语动词的否定也是常考的项目。非谓语动词的否定都应将not放在非谓语动词的前面。如:
What is the reason for ________ there
A. not your going B. not your go
C. your not going D. you not to go
答案为C。
活学巧练:
(1)When winter comes, some animals can do nothing but________.
A.hibernate B.to hibernate
C.hibernation D.hibernating
(2)He got well-prepared for the job interview, for he couldn't risk________the good opportunity.
A.to lose B.losing
C.to be lost D.being lost
答案:(1)A (2)B
(3)I don't want________ like I'm speaking ill of anybody, but the manager's plan is unfair.
A.to sound B.to be sounded
C.sounding D.to have sounded
(4)What worried the boy most was________ to visit his father in the hospital.
A.his not being allowed B.his not allowing
C.his not being allowing D.his being not allowed
答案:(3)A (4)A
(5)He hurried to the station only________ that the train had left.
A.to have found B.finding
C.found D.to find
答案:(5)D
11.连系动词
表示主语身份、性质、状态的动词,称为连系动词(link verbs)。常见的表示状态的连系动词有:be, look, seem, appear, smell, taste, sound, feel, sit, stand, lie, keep, stay(保持)等。表示转换或结果的连系动词常见的有:become, get, grow, turn, go, come, fall, prove等。
Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
世上无难事,只怕有心人。
The shorter it is, the colder it will be.
天越短,天气就越冷。
Stand still, and I'll take a picture of you.
请站稳,我给你拍张照片。
注意:①go作连系动词时,意思是“变得”,指由好向坏的方面的转变。
Food goes bad easily in summer.
夏天食物很容易变质。
②turn接名词作表语时,名词前不用冠词。
After graduation, she turned nurse.
毕业以后她当了护士。
活学巧练:
(1)This bike is not his. It________ stolen.
A.is B.was
C.will be D.would be
(2)After the earthquake, the whole town________ ruins.
A.lay B.laid
C.lay in D.laid in
(3)While it has got into October, it________ very hot at noon sometimes.
A.keeps B.stays
C.lies D.leaves
答案:(1)B (2)C (3)B
考 题 演 练
1.The little girl who got lost decided to remain ________ she was and wait for her mother.
A. where B. what
C. how D. who
答案与解析:A 本题考查状语从句的引导词。remain在此意为“留下,逗留”,where she was在句中作地点状语。句意:这个迷路的小女孩决定待在她原来的地方等待她妈妈。
2.Distinguished guests and friends, welcome to our school. ________ the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning are our alumina (校友) from home and abroad.
A. Attend B. To attend
C. Attending D. Having attended
答案与解析:C 本题考查倒装以及非谓语动词。碰到特殊句式的题目,一定要先把它转换成陈述语序,然后再做句法分析。分析句子结构可知此句是一个倒装句,把它还原成正常语序应该是:Our alumina from home and abroad are ________ the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning.所以此题应该选C项attending作谓语动词的一部分。
3.A small plane crashed into a hillside five miles east of the city, ________ all four people on board.
A. killed B. killing
C. kills D. to kill
答案与解析:B 非谓语动词作状语的用法。现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,only to do表示出乎意料的结果。句中逗号后没有任何连词,因此不是并列谓语,可排除A项;C项时态不对也可排除;现在分词killing可作状语表示飞机坠毁的结果,而不定式作结果状语时往往用only to do形式。
4.—I've got to go now.
—Must you I ________ you could stay for dinner with us.
A. think B. thought
C. have thought D. am thinking
答案与解析:B 本题考查时态。这是重点也是难点,一定要分清上下两句的意思,以及上下句中出现的时间状语。句意:——我必须得走了。——必须走吗?我原以为你会留下来和我们共进晚餐呢。由句意知,我原来认为你会……,时间发生在过去,故用一般过去时态。
5.We should consider the students' request ________ the school library provide more books on popular science.
A. that B. when
C. which D. where
答案与解析:A 本题考查同位语从句。同位语从句是解释前面某一个名词的内容的从句,常出现的名词有:news, suggestion, advice, plan, message; word等。句意:我们应该考虑学生的要求,学校图书室应该多提供一些有关大众科学的书。本题中that引导的从句为同位语从句,解释request的内容,并且从句中不缺成分而且意义完整,故选A项。
6.—Let's go for a walk in the garden.
—________, but I need to do the washing-up.
A. No, thank you B. That's right
C. Good idea D. Not at all
答案与解析:C 本题着重考查怎样回答别人的建议、指示,属于交际情景范畴。应注意在解题时避免母语的负迁移对交际语言的影响。句意:——我们去花园散步吧。——好主意。但我需要洗餐具。由上句“Let's...”可知某人提出建议做某事,那么下句应为顺应关于建议的答语,如:That's a good idea./ Good idea./ OK./ All right./ Why not?等。A项属“谢意”表达;B项“That's right.”在交际表达中用于回答“对别人观点的认同”,相当于“Yes.”。Not at all用于回答感谢。
7.American Indians ________ about five percent of the U.S. population.
A. fill up B. bring up
C. make up D. set up
答案与解析:C 考查动词短语的用法。句意:美洲印第安人占美国人口的5%。A项为“填充”;B项为“培养,抚养”;C项为“占据”;D项为“建立”。
8.After studying in a medical college for five years, Jane ________ her job as a doctor in the contryside.
A. set out B. took over
C. took up D. set up
答案与解析:C 应熟记一些常用的动词短语,并注意区别一些相近的动词短语。考查动词短语辨析。take up为“从事,做……”的意思。
9.It doesn't make ________ to buy that expensive coat when these cheaper ones are just as good.
A. sense B. opinion
C. use D. difference
答案与解析:A 句意:这些便宜的大衣也很好,何必非买那件贵的。make sense有两个意思:(1)有意义、有道理,讲得通。如:What you say makes no sense. 你说的话没有道理。(2)明智的、合情理的。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
White House hopeful Barack Obama brought his cars to a stop Friday to dash out and buy a dozen white roses on his 16th wedding anniversary prior to a “romantic dinner” with wife Michelle.
Following a campaign rally(集会),the lengthy guarding of police outriders, Secret Service cars, and press buses came to a stop behind Obama's black SUV outside “Penny's Flowers”.
The Democrat spent 20 minutes inside, chatting with shop employees, picking out the roses and making a short declaration to accompanying reporters welcoming the adoption in Congress of a financial rescue package (金融救市计划).
“These are beautiful, I like the arrangement and everything, it looks nice,” he told employee Mary Darcy after she handed him the roses arranged with baby' s breath (满天星) and wrapped in cellophane.
The 47-year-old presidential candidate planned to present the flowers to his wife ahead of their anniversary meal in Chicago Friday evening.
Outside the florists, Obama delighted onlookers waiting behind yellow police tape by stopping to shake hands before getting back in his Chevrolet Suburban.
But barely two minutes later, the motorcade(汽车行列) had halted again with Obama unable to resist getting out to meet a crowd of young schoolchildren lined up at the roadside, screaming in delight at the candidate's unexpected arrival.
In Michigan on Thursday, the Illinois senator told supporters that he had “a gift all picked out” for his wife of 16 years.
He said he was looking forward to a “romantic dinner”—although the attendant Secret Service agents, press pool and unavoidable crowd of onlookers might spoil the romance.
1. What would Obama do after he bought the roses
A. He would appear at a campaign rally.
B. He would go with his wife Michelle for their anniversary meal.
C. He would chat with shop employees.
D. He would make a short declaration about the financial rescue package.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。第一段末尾说prior to a “romantic dinner” with wife Michelle,说明奥巴马买花之后将与妻子Michelle共进“浪漫晚餐”。
2. The following statements are true EXCEPT that ________.
A. it took Obama 20 minutes to pick out the roses
B. Obama went out in his black SUV with many police cars following behind
C. the Democrat expressed his satisfaction with the congress's financial action
D. the would-be president is 47 years old
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。虽然奥巴马在花店里呆了20分钟,但他并非一直在挑选鲜花,同时他与店员聊天,就国会的金融救市计划发表声明。因此A项不确切。
3. Yellow police tape was set up to ________.
A. provide Obama with safety guarding
B. stop onlookers from shaking hands with Obama
C. prevent the school children from coming closer
D. keep other people from going into the florists
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。警方拉起警戒线,目的是为了不使人群靠近,以保证奥巴马的安全。
4. The underlined word “halted” in the seventh paragraph most probably means ________.
A. set out B. stopped
C. gone D. restarted
答案与解析:B 词义猜测题。halt意思是“停止,停下”。可以从语境推知:不到两分钟之后,车队再一次停下,因为奥巴马要与等候在路边的学生会面,学生们为奥巴马的不期而至而欢呼雀跃。
5. The author wrote the last paragraph in order to ________.
A. show that many people were curious about Obama and his wife
B. show that the friendly Obama didn't mind his romantic dinner being watched
C. show that Obama would like to let the media report his anniversary meal
D. show that Obama was eager to have the romantic dinner
答案与解析:B 意图猜测题。前文提及的奥巴马与花店店员聊天,与民众握手,专门停下来接见学生都表现出奥巴马是一个平易近人的、友好的总统候选人。即使明知会在各种记者、保镖、围观群众的“包围”中与妻子共进“浪漫晚餐”,他仍将如期进行庆祝,由此可见他是友好、宽容的人。
B
She was known to millions as the “Queen of Crime” or the “Duchess (女公爵) of Death”. But surprisingly, she hated violence and blood, and knew nothing of the weapons most often used in murder. “I don't think I dare look at a really horrible and damaged body,” Agatha Christie once said. But her pen dared to travel where her eyes would not. In a 50-year writing career,
Christie's murder stories made her the world's best-known mystery writer. She is outsold only by the Bible(《圣经》) and Shakespeare.
Her works have been turned into films and TV series,and a line of computer games is set to be released over the next six years.
“My grandmother liked to use new ways to reach people who wanted to enjoy her work,” said Christie's grandson, Mathew Prichard. “Turning her stories into PC games allows us to introduce classic mysteries to new audiences.”
Born in 1890 in England, Christie was educated at home and began her writing career while working as a nurse during World War I. She went on to produce 79 novels and numerous(大量的) short stories, dying at the age of 86. “With her knowledge of murder, Christie could have been a teacher at police academies,” said one fan.
Her first novel,“The Mysterious Affair at Styles” (《斯泰尔斯庄园奇案》), also introduced Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian (比利时的) police officer who starred in 30 of her works. Among the most popular are “Murder on the Orient Express”(《东方快车谋杀案》) (1934),and “Death on the Nile” (《尼罗河上的惨案》) (1937).
Poirot is a tidy little man with a funny-looking moustache,an egg-shaped head, and a high opinion of himself. He draws conclusions from observing the behavior of those around him, always managing to spot patterns that others cannot see. Poirot has become so famous that someone has even written his biography (传记),“The Life and Times of Hercule Poirot”.
Starring in 17 novels, another Christie character, Miss Marple, is nearly as well known as Poirot. But while the Belgian uses his powers of observation, the old Miss Marple relies on her knowledge of human nature to solve crimes. As she once said,“Human nature is the same everywhere.”

A. observation; human nature

D. human nature; observation
