Summary
The Past Participle 过去分词
动词的过去分词形式：“动词原形+ed”
部分过去分词有特殊形式变化。
1. 过去分词不能单独用作谓语，但可用于完成时态(have/had +动词过去分词)和被动语态(be+动词过去分词)中构成谓语。
2. 过去分词是非谓语动词(或称非限定动词)的一种。过去分词保留着动词的部分特性，有完成或被动含义，可带状语构成过去分词短语。在句法功能上，过去分词(短语)与形容词或副词作用类似，在句子中可充当定语、状语、宾补、表语等成分。
一、过去分词形式作定语
作定语时，过去分词一般位于所修饰的名词之前，而过去分词短语通常位于所修饰的名词之后。
e.g. The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.
The players selected from the whole country are expected to bring us honour in this summer’s games.
二、过去分词形式作状语
作状语时，过去分词修饰谓语，说明动作发生的时间、原因、条件、方式等。分词作状语，用于句首比在其他位置更常见。
e.g. United we stand, divided we fall.
Seen from the top of the Tiger Hill, the city of Suzhou was very beautiful.
三、过去分词形式作宾补
作宾补时，过去分词常用于使役动词have, get, make, keep和感官动词see, watch, hear等动词的宾语后面，表达谓语动词引起的宾语的变化，或补充说明宾语的性状。
e.g. Owen got his nose hurt when he played football with his teammates.
I heard the door pulled open.
四、过去分词形式作表语
作表语时，过去分词在be, become, get, feel, look, seem等系动词之后，表示主语的特征或性状。
e.g. She is married.
The other children looked neglected.
The quarrel the night before seemed forgotten.
1. 完全形容词化了的动词-ed形式可以被very等副词修饰，可以有比
较级等级形式。常见的有：bored, disappointed, excited, frightened,
interested, pleased, puzzled, satisfied, surprised, tired, worried 等。
2. 有的动词-ed形式可以被副词well修饰，如：built, cooked, done,
dressed, known, prepared, written等。
3. 其它副词也可以修饰动词-ed形式，如：deeply moved, highly
developed, heavily populated等。
4. 动词-ed形式作表语时，其后可以接介词短语、不定式短语及that
引导的宾语从句。
目标二：To master the use of past participle in the specific context
Activity 1: Fill in the blanks with the help of the beginning letters.
Then rewrite the sentences without using past participles
and recognise the difference.

Activity 2: Below is a passage about the history of the Eiffel Tower
before it was considered an iconic attraction. The text
contains quite a few verb form mistakes. Correct the mistakes
on your own. Then compare your corrections with a partner.
The Eiffel Tower is the most famous landmark in France, and one of the most visiting monuments in the world. But it wasn't always so popular. In fact, in 1886, just after its construction was first propose, many were strongly against it. At that time, it would have been the tallest building in the world, and many claim it would destroy the skyline of Paris, or perhaps even destroy some historic landmarks.

The chief engineer, Gustave Eiffel, replied say that such a large monument was necessary to symbolise the great efforts of the French people as well as the great advancements in modern engineering, industry, and science. The next year, Eiffel gains approval and the tower was built in time to celebrate the 1889 World Fair in Paris.If you look carefully at the tower, you can still see the names of the 72 scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who help in its construction. Originally, the tower was planned to be taken down after 20 years, but it proved to be too useful as a communications tower, not to mention a giant advertisement board, before finally becomes the iconic attraction that we all know today.

目标二：To describe an iconic animal by using vivid language structure and rhetorical devices
Activity 1: Write a description of an iconic animal in China.
Step 1 In groups, brainstorm a list of four iconic animals in China.
giant panda
大熊猫
Chinese sturgeon
中华鲟
golden monkey
金丝猴
Tibetan antelope
藏羚羊
Step 2 Do some research and make notes.
For example:
where they live
what they eat
what they look like
how they are different from other animals
how they interact with people
any other unusual or interesting facts about them
habitat: in Sichuan
food: bamboo
appearance: black and white; cute
difference from others: mainly live on bamboo; a very low birth rate …
interaction with people: …
other unusual or interesting facts: …
Take pandas for example
Step 3 Using your notes, write a description of one of these animals. Remember to use some rhetorical devices to make your writing vivid and interesting.
Activity 2: Exchange your draft with a partner. See whether the writer
does a good job of describing the animal. Take your draft
back and revise it using your partner’s comments.
Sample writing:
The most iconic animal of China by far is the panda. In fact, many people would say that the panda is a symbol of China. These cuddly creatures with their black and white markings almost look more like stuffed toys than real animals. Nearly everyone sees pandas as cute.
This feeling is enhanced by the way the animals clumsily move about, which is sometimes humorous and cartoon-like. However, pandas are not toys-they are in fact live animals. They live mostly in remote nature reserves in Sichuan, China. Most people don't realise that pandas-like all bears-are technically carnivores, and long ago perhaps they mostly ate meat.
However, while pandas today can and do eat almost anything, their preferred food in their wild forest habitat is bamboo. As this food does not give them much nutrition, they have to eat almost constantly, and unlike most bears they do not hibernate in the winter. Pandas are generally quite shy and are seldom seen by people in the wild.
Despite this, they have been known to attack people. While this is a very rare occurrence, it is a useful reminder that pandas are not cuddly toys but are wild animals and should not be approached in the wild. Until recently, pandas were considered endangered. However, with successful breeding and conservation programmes, their numbers have increased, and they are no longer on the endangered species list. Having said that, they are still considered vulnerable, and so more work is needed to protect this magnificent animal.

1) Use the title to predict the main idea;
2) Write down the important facts, using key words;
3) Keep your notes short, using abbreviation and symbols creatively;
4) Organise the notes, using different forms
Take notes
When you read a passage, sometimes it helps to take notes so that you can better remember and understand what you have learnt. When you take notes, it is good to write down the important facts just using key words and ignore many of the small words. You can also use abbreviations, such as “Aus” for “Australia” and “N” for “north”, and use symbols such as “&” for “and”.
2. Read the strategy tips, and then summarise the steps for note-taking.
Can you list more shorthand symbols
Abbreviation Symbol

Task 2 Use your notes to answer the following questions.
1. What does “down under” mean
2. How has Australian cuisine been influenced by different cultures
Give two examples.
3. What is the main theme reflected in Aboriginal music and why
4. What are the writer's first and biggest impressions of Australia
Why
Suggested Answers
1. Australia.
2. A lot of typical Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally
British. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the
introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian versions of
foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim.
3. It celebrates the natural world and the spiritual word around them, because
to survive in the vast land, the Aborigines had to be in close contact with
nature.
4. Her first impressions of Australia have been all about food, because her
friend shared many different but yummy meals with her. Her biggest
impression is the complicated mix of people and cultures that make up the
nation. She feels this perhaps because of the many different kinds of people
she met.
Activity 5: Work in groups. Discuss what iconic Chinese attractions
you would like to introduce to a foreigner and explain why.
Where it is;
When it was established;
What is special for it/ What features it has;
...
Tourist sites: The Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, because these are iconic places that tell a lot about the Chinese culture.
Food and drinks: Jiaozi, because it is the most representative food for many Chinese people, especially in the north. Tea, as an old Chinese saying goes, “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and the tea the seven necessities to begin a day.”
Ethnic minority groups: The Miao people love singing their life aloud; the Dong people live with their traditional wind and rain bridges that give people shelter when it rains. I really enjoyed staying among them and learning about their culture.
Musical instruments: The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments with over two thousand years of history. It can make very beautiful music and it has enlightenment on similar instruments in Japan and Korea.
Clothes: The qipao, because it is such a beautiful dress, and so representative of the Chinese culture as a whole.

目标二：To recognise and expand lexical usage, especially with homonyms
Activity 1: Identify language points that you want to share with your
partner. Discuss in groups and then share with the class.
1. Located① to the south of the equator,② below many other countries on
the globe, it’s often informally referred to as “down under”. 它（澳大利亚）位于赤道以南，并在地球上许多其他国家的下方，通常被非正式地称为“down under”。
① located adj.处于，位于；坐落的
【归纳拓展】
※ be located in/on/at 位于；坐落于
※ locate vt.找出……的位置；把……设置(在)；使……坐落(于)
② Located to the south of the equator是过去分词作状语，表示原因，其中 locate与主句主语it 之间是被动关系。
过去分词作状语的用法主要有：
(1)作原因状语，相当于as，since，because引导的从句，这类状语多放在句子的前半部分。
(2)作时间状语，相当于when引导的状语从句。如果两个动作同时发生，可在分词前用when，while等使其时间意义更明确。
(3)作条件状语，相当于if，unless引导的从句。
(4)作方式或伴随状语。
特别提示：分词短语作状语时，其逻辑主语要与句子的主语保持一致，否则分词短语就要有自己的逻辑主语(用名词或代词的主格来表示)，这种结构称为独立主格结构。
e.g. All our savings gone, we started looking for jobs.
2. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground, among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.他们绝大多数的乐器其实就是地上找到的树枝，其中就有一种令人惊叹的乐器叫作迪吉里杜管。
【句型剖析】该句为复合句。主干部分是Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground，为主系表结构；found on the ground为过去分词短语作定语，修饰sticks；among which there is...为“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，which代指前面的musical instruments；定语从句里面又含有一个there be句型，其中的called the didgeridoo为过去分词短语作定语，修饰instrument。
3. It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born
overseas or have parents who were born overseas. 据说，现在近一半的澳大利亚公民要么是在海外出生的，要么父母是在海外出生的。
【句型剖析】It is said that ...“据说……”。在此句型中it为形式主语，that引导的句子是真正的主语。常用于这种结构的形容词有：strange，certain，important，possible，natural，surprising，interesting，likely，unusual等。
注意：在英语中，形式主语或形式宾语只能用it，不能用this，that或其他代词。
4. Personally speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people
themselves. 就我个人而言，我最喜欢的是澳大利亚人。
【句型剖析】本句中what引导主语从句，且在从句中作宾语。what是连接代词，引导的从句还可作宾语或表语；what本身在从句中可作主语、宾语或表语。
注意：that引导名词性从句只起连接作用，在从句中不作任何成分，无意义，在宾语从句中通常省略，但在主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中均不能省略；what除引导从句外，还在从句中作成分，意为“所……的(东西)”，在含义上等于“名词＋that”。

culture
foods
buildings
celebrities
festivals

Check your sentence structures.
Make your sentences more impressive by using clauses or advanced vocabulary.
Activity 4: Each of you should write about one attraction from the
list and explain why it is worth visiting.
EXAMPLE
DUJIANGYAN
Originally constructed around 256 BCE by the State of Qin as an irrigation and flood control system, Dujiangyan is a remarkable example of ancient engineering skill and is still in use today. During the Warring States period, people who lived along the banks of the Min River were troubled by annual flooding. Qin governor and irrigation engineer Li Bing investigated the problem thoroughly. He led a team to construct a levee to redirect a portion of the river's flow. Then they cut a channel through Mount Yulei to discharge the excess water. After the system was finished, no more floods occurred.
What's more, it made Sichuan one of the most productive agricultural regions in China because the redirected water from the Min River could be used for irrigation. If you visit Dujiangyan, you will see an unusual construction that resembles a fish's mouth. This famous attraction, Yuzui, together with two other important parts, namely, Feishayan and Baopingkou, were scientifically designed to control the water flow throughout the year. Recognised as a UNESCO heritage site, Dujiangyan has irrigated farms while preventing floods for over 2,000 years.
Give a presentation in class to introduce the city or town. You could even include a video of the attraction.

Task 2 Circle the best words to complete the sentences below.
1. Independent/Indigenous groups from across Australia's desert centre have come to share
with one another on the sacred/secret grounds of the Aranda people in Alice Springs.
2. They might be using billy cans instead of wooden bones/bowls but the activities are
helping keep alive traditions which might otherwise be skipping/slipping.
3. It's presenting an alternative picture of a national history/story which can look very
apparent/different for black and white Australians.
4. That's what we are trying to do with this festival—bring non-indigenous people to us,
hear/share our culture with them, and our history, in the hope that they feel like that part
of the nation's history is part of their own dignity/identity.
5. As night falls in the small object/pocket in the heart of Australia, people have been
brought closer together, at least for a few days/in a few ways.
Activity 3: After you watch
Discuss the following questions in groups.
1. Why do you think this festival is important to Aborigines
What about non-indigenous people
2. What interested you most in the video Why
3. What opportunities do you have to experience and learn about
different cultures in China
Suggested Answers
1. It is important to the Aborigines because until very recently they were very much an oppressed group, and this festival allows them to celebrate and show off their culture. It is important to the non-indigenous people because it gives them a rare chance to meet and learn about the Aboriginal people of Australia.
2. I am interested in the food because I like to eat. I wish that the video had showed more about it.
3. There are many opportunities. For example, you can go to the Longji Rice Terraces in northern Guangxi, and share in the lives of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups. Or, you can go to Lijiang in Yunan and learn about the Naxi.
