Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.
B-Y-O-B is a short way of saying, "Bring Your Own Bottle. " The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social, event or gathering of friends. For example, let's say I had a New Year's Eve party. I might include on the invitation. "Please come to my party and BYOB. " The bottle each person brings is what the person wants to drink at the party or wants to share.
However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB. An invitation to an official or very special event often has other letters written at the bottom. The letters are R-S-V-P. These letters represent the French expression "Repondez S'il Vous Plait. " In English the words mean "Respond If It Pleases You. " Americans use the letters as a short way to say, "Please answer this invitation. "
Another expression usually used for business and not parties is A-S-A-P. So, a colleague might say she needs something done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She might also need something done by C-O-B. That means she wants to finish it by "Close Of Business" or the end of the work day.
Beginning letters are often used to represent the names of universities. A famous one is MIT. That is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA. Almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes way too long!
24．Why do Americans like using the first letters of the words
A．They want to save time.
B．They think it interesting.
C．They like doing things differently.
D．They love creating new expressions.
25．Which of the following may a couple use in their wedding invitations
A．B-Y-O-
B．B. B. R-S-V-P.
C．A-S-A-P.
D．C-O-B.
26．How is the text mainly developed
A．By analyzing causes. B．By listing examples.
C．By following time order. D．By making comparisons.
27．What is the main purpose of this text
A．To describe the unpopularity of the formal language.
B．To explain the usage of some daily expressions.
C．To advise people to speak more simple English.
D．To introduce one of the Americans' language habits.

Every day in the morning I make different sounds, starting with an "oomph" as I move to an upright position, then an "ahhh" as I swing my legs off the bed, followed by an "arrrrrrrgh" as I get to my feet. Then there's an "oh God" as I realize that my knees are unequal to the task they've been set.
My wife Jocasta believes in positive thinking. "All sighing and complaining will simply make you feel worse," she says. "If you act like a young gazelle (羚羊), then you'll feel like a young gazelle. "I'm guessing Jocasta doesn't know many young gazelles, at least not ones with aching knees and tired ankles. I then decide to follow her instructions, but to the power of ten.
I draw the curtains open, allowing sunlight to flood the room. "What a beautiful morning!" I say in a too-cheerful voice. "I'm planning a pot of Sri Lanka's finest tea for you. It is picked on the cool slopes of the country's mountainous central district and will be served with milk given by a diligent young cow. "
"Oh, God! Can you give it a rest " says Jocasta. "Sure, your knee aches, but you can still get around. Pull your shoulders back, lift your head high, and highlight the positive. The science about positivity is that the body responds to signals sent by your brain. When you spend 23 hours a day sounding like a miserable old man, you'll turn into a miserable old man. "
I take a sip of tea before raising another case. "Yes," I say, "but the research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Pain shows that people can bear pain if allowed to swear. So," I continue, "when I limp off to work, yelling ‘Oh God, my knee', I'm just acting on the latest science. " This is replied with Jocasta's dark looks. "I'm not anti-swearing; I'm just anti-complaining. "
There's enough tea in the pot for a second cup. It is somehow more delicious for the way I imagine out loud where it is picked and how the milk is produced. The sunlight streaming in, I find myself humming a happy tune when a "horrific" thought hits me—Jocasta seems to have made it!
28．Why does the author make various sounds when getting up
A．To grab his wife's attention.
B．To express his dissatisfaction.
C．To complain of his discomfort.
D．To get himself totally refreshed.
29．What can we learn about the man from paragraph 3
A．He has been to Sri Lanka.
B．He is expert at making tea.
C．He unwillingly follows his wife's advice.
D．He agrees with his wife's way of thinking.
30．What is the science about positivity according to the wife
A．Swearing to relieve the pain.
B．Behaving like young gazelles.
C．Following signals sent by the brain.
D．Focusing on the positive part of life.
31．What does the man try to convey in the last paragraph
A．He shouldn't hum a tune.
B．His wife has been proved right.
C．What the journal says is wrong.
D．He can't bear the pain any more.

I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance (距离) in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we've got older, we've become closer, and I've learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn't realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls (灵魂) I've known. He's continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He's helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he's able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It's always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration (灵感来源) for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you're lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he's certainly learned the whole "actions speak louder than words" thing. But, I've realized from my brother that I needn't speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it's necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
32．What does the author think of growing up as the older sister
A．Boring but warm. B．Peaceful and easy.
C．Troubling but inspiring. D．Enjoyable and exciting.
33．What do the author's little brother's actions suggest to her
A．Trying to learn new instruments.
B．Focusing on little details of everything.
C．Moving on with the past kept in mind.
D．Keeping feeding her creativity.
34．What might the introverted people be like according to paragraph 5
A．They are talented. B．They are quiet.
C．They are positive. D．They are friendly.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．It talks about the relationship between his brother and the author.
B．It introduces the great spirits of the author's brother.
C．It is about lessons learned from the author's brother.
D．Tell some advice provided by the author's brother.

Learn a language by using the 80/20 Rule. What is the 80/20 Rule It is a rule that suggests 20 percent of your efforts will bring about 80 percent of your results. Or 80% of our efforts get only 20% of the results. 37． It can help you know the most important and high result-oriented(高导向的)activities in your life while quitting the unnecessary, low result-oriented activities.

Which would be easier to memorize Of course, it's number one, if you guess correctly.
39． Most people master a new language by translating. It is one of the causes of failure in learning a second language. Instead of translating everything you listen to, think in the language you're learning. You'll discover your most important words, expressions, and sentences quickly if you continually think about them.
Don't forget listening and speaking. Learning a new language includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 40． However, people usually struggle most with listening and speaking. Keep in mind we learn a language just for practical use. So do master these two skills!
A. It is very simple but useful.
B. These skills are all very important.

The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, "Sorry teacher"and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Teachers' Day came around, Tom had a plan.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.

Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.
B-Y-O-B is a short way of saying, "Bring Your Own Bottle. " The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social, event or gathering of friends. For example, let's say I had a New Year's Eve party. I might include on the invitation. "Please come to my party and BYOB. " The bottle each person brings is what the person wants to drink at the party or wants to share.
However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB. An invitation to an official or very special event often has other letters written at the bottom. The letters are R-S-V-P. These letters represent the French expression "Repondez S'il Vous Plait. " In English the words mean "Respond If It Pleases You. " Americans use the letters as a short way to say, "Please answer this invitation. "
Another expression usually used for business and not parties is A-S-A-P. So, a colleague might say she needs something done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She might also need something done by C-O-B. That means she wants to finish it by "Close Of Business" or the end of the work day.
Beginning letters are often used to represent the names of universities. A famous one is MIT. That is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA. Almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes way too long!
24．Why do Americans like using the first letters of the words
A．They want to save time.
B．They think it interesting.
C．They like doing things differently.
D．They love creating new expressions.
25．Which of the following may a couple use in their wedding invitations
A．B-Y-O-
B．B. B. R-S-V-P.
C．A-S-A-P.
D．C-O-B.
26．How is the text mainly developed
A．By analyzing causes. B．By listing examples.
C．By following time order. D．By making comparisons.
27．What is the main purpose of this text
A．To describe the unpopularity of the formal language.
B．To explain the usage of some daily expressions.
C．To advise people to speak more simple English.
D．To introduce one of the Americans' language habits.

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会现象类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了讲述了在美国日常生活中，人们为了方便经常使用省略说法，并详细列举了诸多例子加以说明。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段"Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way. "美国人经常试图尽可能快地说话。所以，对于一些短语，我们使用单词的首字母，而不是保存每个单词。许多常见的表达或较长的名字都是这样缩短的。可知，美国人为了方便和快捷，经常用单词的首字母表达，故选A。
25．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB. An invitation to an official or very special event often has other letters written at the bottom. The letters are R-S-V-P."然而，参加特殊活动的邀请函——比如婚礼——永远不会写BYOB。一份官方邀请函或特别活动的邀请函通常会在底部写上其他的字母。字母是R-S-V-P。可知，婚礼属于特殊活动所以它的邀请函通常会写上R-S-V-P，故选B。
26．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"For example, let's say I had a New Year's Eve party. I might include on the invitation. "例如，假设我有一个新年前夜的派对。我可能会把它写在邀请函上；第三段中的"However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB."然而，参加特殊活动的邀请函——比如婚礼——永远不会写BYOB；第四段中的"Another expression usually used for business and not parties is A-S-A-P. So, a colleague might say she needs something done ASAP." 另一个通常用于商业而不是聚会的短语是A-S-A-P。所以，同事可能会说她需要尽快完成某件事；以及最后一段推知，文章通过举例说明美国日常生活中单词的一些缩写，故选B。
27．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way. "美国人经常试图尽可能快地说话。所以，对于一些短语，我们使用单词的首字母，而不是保存每个单词。许多常见的表达或较长的名字都是这样缩短的；及下文的详细例子，可知文章讲述了在美国日常生活中，人们为了方便经常使用省略说法，所以这篇文章就是给我们介绍了一种美国的语言习惯，故选D。

Every day in the morning I make different sounds, starting with an "oomph" as I move to an upright position, then an "ahhh" as I swing my legs off the bed, followed by an "arrrrrrrgh" as I get to my feet. Then there's an "oh God" as I realize that my knees are unequal to the task they've been set.
My wife Jocasta believes in positive thinking. "All sighing and complaining will simply make you feel worse," she says. "If you act like a young gazelle (羚羊), then you'll feel like a young gazelle. "I'm guessing Jocasta doesn't know many young gazelles, at least not ones with aching knees and tired ankles. I then decide to follow her instructions, but to the power of ten.
I draw the curtains open, allowing sunlight to flood the room. "What a beautiful morning!" I say in a too-cheerful voice. "I'm planning a pot of Sri Lanka's finest tea for you. It is picked on the cool slopes of the country's mountainous central district and will be served with milk given by a diligent young cow. "
"Oh, God! Can you give it a rest " says Jocasta. "Sure, your knee aches, but you can still get around. Pull your shoulders back, lift your head high, and highlight the positive. The science about positivity is that the body responds to signals sent by your brain. When you spend 23 hours a day sounding like a miserable old man, you'll turn into a miserable old man. "
I take a sip of tea before raising another case. "Yes," I say, "but the research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Pain shows that people can bear pain if allowed to swear. So," I continue, "when I limp off to work, yelling ‘Oh God, my knee', I'm just acting on the latest science. " This is replied with Jocasta's dark looks. "I'm not anti-swearing; I'm just anti-complaining. "
There's enough tea in the pot for a second cup. It is somehow more delicious for the way I imagine out loud where it is picked and how the milk is produced. The sunlight streaming in, I find myself humming a happy tune when a "horrific" thought hits me—Jocasta seems to have made it!
28．Why does the author make various sounds when getting up
A．To grab his wife's attention.

28．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Every day in the morning I make different sounds, starting with an ‘oomph' as I move to an upright position, then an ‘ahhh' as I swing my legs off the bed, followed by an ‘arrrrrrrgh' as I get to my feet. Then there's an ‘oh God' as I realize that my knees are unequal to the task they've been set."每天早上，我都会发出不同的声音，首先是我站起来时发出的"oomph"声，然后是把腿甩离床时发出的"ahhh"声，接着是我站起来时发出的"arrrrrrrgh"声。然后，当我意识到我的膝盖无法胜任他们所承担的任务时，我发出了一声"oh God"；以及第二段中的"All sighing and complaining will simply make you feel worse"(所有的叹息和抱怨只会让你感觉更糟。可推知，作者早上起床时发出的各种声音是为了抱怨自己的不适。故选C。
29．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"I then decide to follow her instructions, but to the power of ten."然后我决定按照她的指示去做，但要以十倍的倍数去做；以及第三段中的"‘What a beautiful morning!' I say in a too-cheerful voice. ‘I'm planning a pot of Sri Lanka's finest tea for you. It is picked on the cool slopes of the country's mountainous central district and will be served with milk given by a diligent young cow.'""多么美丽的早晨啊!"我用一种过于欢快的声音说。"我在为你准备一壶斯里兰卡最好的茶。它是在该国中部山区凉爽的山坡上采摘的，与勤劳的小牛产的奶一起食用。"可知，作者不同意妻子的话，故作夸张。由此推知，他不情愿地听从妻子的建议。故选C。
30．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Sure, your knee aches, but you can still get around. Pull your shoulders back, lift your head high, and highlight the positive. The science about positivity is that the body responds to signals sent by your brain. "当然，你的膝盖疼，但你仍然可以四处走动。肩膀向后拉，抬头挺胸，突出积极的一面。关于积极的科学是身体对大脑发出的信号做出反应。可知，妻子认为积极就是要关注生活积极的方面。故选D。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"There's enough tea in the pot for a second cup. It is somehow more delicious for the way I imagine out loud where it is picked and how the milk is produced. The sunlight streaming in, I find myself humming a happy tune when a ‘horrific' thought hits me—Jocasta seems to have made it!"壶里的茶还够沏第二杯的。不知怎的，它更美味的方式使我大声想象它是在哪里采摘的，牛奶是如何生产的。阳光照进来，当一个"可怕"的想法袭来时，我发现自己哼着一首快乐的歌——Jocasta 塔似乎成功了!可知，作者在不知不觉中变得积极了。可推知，他的妻子的话是对的。故选B。

I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance (距离) in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we've got older, we've become closer, and I've learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn't realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls (灵魂) I've known. He's continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He's helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he's able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It's always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration (灵感来源) for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you're lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he's certainly learned the whole "actions speak louder than words" thing. But, I've realized from my brother that I needn't speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it's necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
32．What does the author think of growing up as the older sister
A．Boring but warm. B．Peaceful and easy.
C．Troubling but inspiring. D．Enjoyable and exciting.
33．What do the author's little brother's actions suggest to her
A．Trying to learn new instruments.
B．Focusing on little details of everything.
C．Moving on with the past kept in mind.
D．Keeping feeding her creativity.
34．What might the introverted people be like according to paragraph 5
A．They are talented. B．They are quiet.
C．They are positive. D．They are friendly.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．It talks about the relationship between his brother and the author.
B．It introduces the great spirits of the author's brother.
C．It is about lessons learned from the author's brother.
D．Tell some advice provided by the author's brother.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting."当我还是个小女孩的时候，有一个弟弟是一件很麻烦的事，因为有很多争吵。可知，在作者小的时候，觉得有个弟弟时间很麻烦的事情；以及第二段"However, as we've got older, we've become closer, and I've learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn't realize I needed before."然而，随着年龄的增长，我们变得越来越亲密，我从弟弟那里学到了一些我以前没有意识到我需要的东西。可知，作者长大以后，从弟弟那里学到很多的东西。可推知，作为姐姐，作者觉得与弟弟一起成长是件麻烦的但也是鼓舞人心的。故选C。
33．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"He's helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do."他用行动和语言提醒我，放弃创造力是一个人永远不应该做的事情。可知，弟弟用行动提醒作者放弃创造力是永远不应该做的事情。所以说，作者弟弟的行为向她暗示了作者要不断培养创造力。故选D。
34．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you're lucky to get over three words out of him at a time."我弟弟一直是一个比较内向的人，如果你和他说话，你一次能从他嘴里挤出三个字以上就很幸运。可知，弟弟是一个比较内向的人，不爱说话；以及"But, I've realized from my brother that I needn't speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it's necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it."但是，我从我弟弟那里意识到，我不需要说话来填补沉默。有时候，花一些时间安静地反思是很有必要的。可知，作者在弟弟的内向中意识到不需要说话去填补沉默，花谢时间安静地反思是很必要的。可推知，弟弟这样内向的人应该是比较安静的。故选B。
35．考查主旨大意。根据第二段"However, as we've got older, we've become closer, and I've learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn't realize I needed before."然而，随着年龄的增长，我们变得越来越亲密，我从弟弟那里学到了一些我以前没有意识到我需要的东西。可知，作者长大以后，从弟弟那里学到很多的东西，结合下文中分别讲述的作者在弟弟身上学会的重要东西可知，本文是关于作者从弟弟那里学到的一些东西。故选C。

The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, "Sorry teacher"and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Teachers' Day came around, Tom had a plan.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.
【答案】One possible version:

Tom convinced the class to let Bruce perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, all the teachers and students were surprised to see the school's most awkward student walking on stage with a violin. Some of the students started to talk about all the funny things Bruce did.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. Their jaws dropped open. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience responded with thunderous applause. Bruce became a popular icon and had many fans in his final year of school. Today, Bruce and Tom are still best friends. Bruce is on a scholarship pursuing music in Austria. Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了长期因怪异服装被同学嘲笑的Bruce在同学Tom的帮助下在教师节音乐会上大放异彩的故事。段落续写：①由续写段落第一段首句内容"教师节来了，汤姆有了一个计划。"可知，第一段可描写汤姆的计划的具体细节和实施。②由续写段落第二段首句内容"当布鲁斯开始演奏的时候，观众们斗沉默了"可知，第二段可描写布鲁斯的表演、观众的反映以及布鲁斯学校生活的变化。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如： Short of ideas, the class agreed. 运用了形容词短语作状语；As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence.运用了时间状语从句，There be句Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.运用了现在分词作状语。
