过去分词作状语和定语是中学英语的一项重点内容，也是高考常考的内容之一。学习时应注意以下几点：一、明确句子的主语与分词之间的逻辑关系(主动关系还是被动关系)。二、能够与定语从句及省略句式进行形式的互相转换。
三、分词作状语时与独立主格的区别。
观察下列句子，注意黑体部分在句子中的成分及作用。
① Worried about the journey , I was unsettled for the first few days. (P17)
我很担心这次旅行，所以头几天心里总是不踏实。
②Some of the people invited to the party did not come.
有些被邀请参加派对的人没有来。
1. 句①中的Worried about the journey为过去分词(短语)作状语，在此作原因状语。
2. 句②中的invited to the party为过去分词(短语)作定语，修饰some of the people。
Ⅰ. 过去分词(短语)作状语
1. 作时间状语
Once published (= Once it is published ), the dictionary will be very popular.
一旦出版，这本词典将大受欢迎。
2. 作条件状语
United, we stand; divided, we fall.
→ If we are united , we stand; if we are divided , we fall.
团结则存，分裂则亡。
3. 作原因状语
Scolded by the teacher, the girl sat there without lifting her
head.
→As/Because she was scolded by the teacher, the girl sat
there without lifting her head.
由于被老师批评了，那个女孩低着头坐在那儿。
4. 作伴随或方式状语
The old man got on the bus, supported by a girl (and
was supported by a girl).
在一位姑娘的搀扶下，老人上了公共汽车。
5. 作让步状语
Beaten by the opposite team ( Though we were beaten by
the opposite team), we didn’t lose heart and encouraged
each other.
虽然被对方的球队打败了，但我们并没有灰心而是相互鼓
励。
Ⅱ. 过去分词作状语的注意事项
1. 过去分词作状语时，其前面可以有相应的连词，如：
when, though, although, as if, as though, if, unless,
until, once等，表示时间、让步、条件、方式等。
If ( I am ) invited , I will attend the wedding of my friend.
如果受到邀请，我会参加我朋友的婚礼。
2. 过去分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，即
表被动；而现在分词与句子的主语之间存在逻辑上的主谓
关系，即表主动。
① Asked (ask) why she was late, she cried.
被问到为什么迟到时，她哭了。
② Looking out of (look out of) the window, I saw
some students playing there.
我朝窗外望去，看见几个学生在那边玩耍。
3. 过去分词(短语)作状语时，分词的逻辑主语与句子的主
语要保持一致。
If ( he is ) caught (catch), the thief will be punished by
the police.
小偷如果被抓，会受到警方的处罚。
4. 有些过去分词已形容词化了，作状语时常表示人的状
态。常见的此类词有：satisfied, surprised, interested,
moved, worried, pleased, disappointed等
Disappointed (disappointed)at the examination results,
the girl stood there without saying a word.
因为对考试结果很失望，小女孩站在那儿一句话也没说。
Ⅲ. 过去分词(短语)作定语
1. 意义：过去分词(短语)作定语时，表示“完成”和“被动”
双层意义。但不及物动词的过去分词通常只表示“完成”而
不表示“被动”。如：
fallen leaves 落叶
2. 位置：单独的过去分词作定语，通常放在被修饰词之前，
但有时为了强调，也可置于被修饰词之后，此时往往可以
用定语从句代替。但如果被修饰的词是由every/some/any/
no +thing/body/one构成的不定代词或指示代词those时，单
独的过去分词也要放在被修饰词之后。
①快点，时间不多了。(leave)
Hurry up, there is only a little time left .
②如果你希望改变一切，请说明。(change)
If you wish everything changed , please say so.
1. 用所给词的适当形式填空

If you’re tired of the Mediterranean
and don’t want to head to Disney again,
perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday
in space. Russia has declared plans for
its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.
Hosting just seven guests in a four cabins, the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.
Just getting there will be an adventure in itself—it will take two days aboard a Soyuz rocket—and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you￡100, 000 to￡500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.
In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical(垂直的)or horizontal. Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. Many kinds of delicacies will be available.
Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.
Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space. ” The hotel can also be used as an emergency bolthole(避难处) for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a crisis.
随着太空旅游大战升温，俄罗斯已宣布将建造首座太空旅馆，这座旅馆位于距地面217英里的高空，而且服务一流，比宇航员住的国际空间站要舒服得多。而且这家旅馆的目标顾客是超级富豪和想进行太空研究的私人公司中的职员。

Want a glance of the future of health care Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another，and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example. Increasingly，however，remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone，it is perfectly practical to send a patient’s important signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment，the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups
are working on applying telemedicine
to rural(countryside) care. And at
least one team wants to use
telemedicine as a tool for disaster need—especially after earthquakes. On the whole，the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts’ opinions.
But there is one problem. Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) medical pictures around the world—CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth munication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis，training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications，the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information，experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common.
本文主要讲述人们将来可以通过网上看病，医生可以根据病人的生理数据做出远程诊断。随着第二代因特网和第三代移动手机为将来的远程医疗服务，尤其是宽带网交流价格的下降，远程医疗和医药信息、专家意见和诊断共享将成为家常便饭。

B. It is impossible to send a patient’s signs over the telephone.
C. Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D. Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
【解析】选 D。推理判断题。网上可以看病并不是说病人去医院不需要医生，排除A项；通过电话发送病人的信息是可行的，排除B项；现在至少有一个医疗队想用远程医疗来治疗疾病，C项也不对；根据文章最后一句话With the falling price of broadband communications，the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information，experts’ opinions and diagnosis are common. 可以肯定答案是D。
9. The “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ________.
A. bandwidth isn’t big enough to send complex medical pictures
B. the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C. communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
