【美文阅读】
克隆动物早已不再“犹抱琵琶半遮面”。为了保护克隆的福利,欧盟委员会这次走得更远……
EC approves the sale of cloned young into the food chain
The European Commiss ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion has published a report approving the right of member states to sell cloned animals' young and their products into the food chain.
The commission said a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ban would not be proper in terms of protecting animal welfare and public health.It added that a clone traceability(可追踪)system would be needed,because food from the clones' young “cannot be distinguished from food from other animals”.
The move could cause ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a big change from the UK Food Standards Agency(FSA) which at present forbids the sale of food from the clones' young without a license—farmer Steven Innes was found to have done so last year and should be punished.Under the Commission's proposal,Mr.Innes would not be punished.Indeed all farmers in the UK would be able to buy materials from clones from outside the European Union and sell their products into the food chain.
George Lyon,L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iberal Democrat MEP for Scotland,said,“It's clear that the FSA is out of line with the rest of member states in how it explains the present rules and,of course,under these new rules,it still is out of line.So hopefully they will come to their senses and see they do have to move on this subject.”

1.What's the passage mainly about
________________________________________________________________________
2.Why is a ban on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) selling cloned animals not suitable for the present situation
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 1.The sale of clo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned young has been made legal by EC.或:The EC approves the sale of cloned young into the food chain.
2.Considering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cloned animals have appeared,there is a possibility that people sell them and get food from them.If there is a ban,some people may sell them illegally and then it's likely to prevent animal welfare and public health from protection.

【答案】 1.定语 2.表语 3.宾语补足语 4.状语
5.定语 6.状语 7.状语 8.状语
过去分词
一、概述
过去分词是非谓语动词形式的一种,它既有动词的特征,又有形容词和副词的特征,其基本形式是v.+ed,可以有宾语和状语,即过去分词短语。
及物动词的过去分词形式表示被动或既表被动又表完成,不及物动词的过去分词形式只表示完成。过去分词在句中可作定语、表语、补语和状语。
二、过去分词的句法功能
1.过去分词作定语
单个的过去分词在句中作定语一般位于所修饰的名词前。过去分词短语作定语时,一般放在所修饰的名词的后面,相当于一个定语从句。
The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.
受伤的工人现在正在医院受到良好的照料。
Who were the guests ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) invited(=that had been invited)to your party last night
昨晚被邀请参加你的晚会的那些客人是谁呀?
2.过去分词作表语
过去分词在句中作表语多表示主语所处的状态或是主语的心理,这时过去分词有些已经转化成了形容词。
The door remained locked.门仍然锁着。
Everyone got excited at the news.
听到这个消息每个人都感到兴奋。
Don't touch the glass because it is broken.
不要碰那个杯子因为它是破的。
【提示】 现在分词作表语与过去分词作表语的区别是:
(1)现在分词作表语,说明主语的性质或 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )特征,意为“令人……的”,有主动意思。如:exciting,moving,amusing,astonishing,frightening,interesting等等。
(2)过去分词作表语多表示主语所 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )处的状态,意为“感到……的”,有被动的意思。如:upset,decided,disappointed,encouraged,amused,astonished,offended,hurt,faded,frightened,amazed,married,excited,experienced,interested,qualified,pleased,puzzled等等。
(3)过去分词作表语时和动词的被动语态结构相似,但两者表达意思明显不同,前者说明主语的特点及所处状态,而后者强调动作。
The cup was broken by my little sister yesterday.
茶杯是昨天我小妹打碎的。(是被动语态,表示动作)
The library is now closed.图书馆关门了。(过去分词作表语)
3.过去分词作宾语补足语
作宾补的过去分词一般来自及 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )物动词和宾语有逻辑上的动宾关系。通常用在感官动词和使役动词(see,hear,notice,watch,keep,find,get,have,feel等)宾语之后,以及with的复合结构中。
We can hear the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )indows beaten by the heavy rain drops.我们可以听到大雨点敲打窗户的声音。
I raised my voice to make myself heard.
我提高了嗓门以便于被人家听到。
With many brig ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )htly coloured flowers planted around the building,his house looks like a beautiful garden.
周围种了许多色彩鲜艳的花,他的房子看上去就像一座漂亮的花园。
4.过去分词作状语
过去分词在句子中作状语,可以表示时间、 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )条件、原因、结果、让步、伴随等。分词作状语时,它是逻辑主语与句子的主语一致。作状语的分词相当于一个状语从句。
(1)表时间,相当于一个时间状语从句,有时过去分词前可加连词when或while来强调时间概念。
Seen from the moon,the earth looks green.
从月亮上看时,地球是绿色。
(2)表原因,相当于一个原因状语从句。
Satisfied with what h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e did,the teacher praised him in class.由于老师对他所做的事情很满意,于是在班上表扬了他。
(3)表条件,相当于一个条件状语从句。
Compared with you,I still have a long way to go.
跟你比较起来,我还差得很远呢。
(4)表让步,相当于一个though/although引导的让步状语从句。
Laughed at by many people,he continued his study.
尽管被许多人嘲笑,他还是继续他的研究。
(5)表方式或伴随情况。
The old man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )went into the room,supported by his wife.那个老人在他妻子的搀扶下走进了房间。
(6)表结果。
The cup fell down to the ground,broken.
茶杯掉到了地上,破碎了。
三、由分词转化而来的形容词
分词转化而来的形容词包括现在分词转化而来的形容词和过去分词转化而来的形容词,即v. ing形容词和v. ed形容词。
1.v. ing形容词一般具有主动意义,表示“起某种作用”,多用于说明事物本身的性质、特征及给人的感觉。
The story they heard over the radio was very moving.
他们从收音机里听到的这个故事很感人。
2.v. ed形容词一般具有被动意义,表示“受某种影响”,多用于形容人自然的感觉。
He was frightened at the sound.
听到那声音,他吓坏了。
