1．独立主格结构
(教材P18)The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence．
出版商给了回信，作家急切地拆开来读，但读到这最后一句，作家的心随即跌落谷底。
[句式分析] 句中“their hearts sinking”为独立主格结构作状语。独立主格结构主要起状语作用， 相当于一个状语从句。
I heard she got injured in the accident, my heart full of sorrow．
听说她在事故中受伤了，我非常难过。
The old woman sat down, traces of tears still on her cheeks．
老太太坐下来，面颊上还带着泪痕。
独立主格结构本身不是句子，但在语意上相当于一个句子，一般用逗号与句子主体部分隔开。独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同，它独立存在。独立主格结构的形式：
名词/主格＋
[即学即练] 单句语法填空/句式升级
①Her glasses broken(break), she couldn't see the words on the blackboard．
②The boy leading(lead)the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave．
③So much work to do(do), we have no time to play with you tomorrow．
④(普通表达)He was listening attentively in class．His eyes were fixed on the blackboard．
a．(高级表达)He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard．(独立主格结构)
b．(高级表达)He was listening attentively in class, with his eyes fixed on the blackboard．(with复合结构)
[名师点津] (1)分词作状语和独立主格结构作状语的区别就在于逻辑主语的不同。分词的逻辑主语为句子的主语；而独立主格结构本身带有逻辑主语，这个主语和句子主语不一致。
(2)用独立主格结构还是用完整的句子，要看前后两部分中间有无连词。若有连词，用完整的句子，若无连词，则用独立主格结构。
2．祈使句＋and＋陈述句
(教材P20)Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you．．．”
坚持下去，你终会收到这样的回复：“我们高兴地通知您……”
[句式分析] 本句为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”句型。该句型中的祈使句相当于一个if引导的条件状语从句，and之后的句子相当于主句，所以用一般将来时。
Follow your doctor's advice，and you will get better soon．
遵从医生的建议，你很快就会好的。
Take more exercise, and you'll keep fit．
经常锻炼，你就会保持健康。
(1)祈使句＋and＋陈述句＝“If．．．”＋主句

J．K．Rowling had spent years 3．surviving (survive) on little money, spending all her time writing．Nevertheless, she persevered．4．As we know, Harry Potter became a global success．
J．D．Salinger struggled to get his works 5．published (publish)．But he faced 6．criticism (criticise) along with rejection．Despite rejections from several publishers, J．D．Salinger refused to give up．Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked 7．on the novel throughout his war service．

It was the summer of 1965．DeLuca，then 17，visited Peter Buck，a family friend．Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future．“I'm going to college，but I need a way to pay for it，”DeLuca recalls，saying．“Buck said，‘You should open a sandwich shop．’”
That afternoon，they agreed to be partners．And they set a goal：to open 32 stores in ten years．After doing some research，Buck wrote a check for $1，000．DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut，and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs，Buck kicked in another $1，000．
But business didn't go smoothly as they expected．DeLuca says，“After six months，we were doing poorly，but we didn't know how badly，because we didn't have any financial controls．”All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs．
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time．Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York．They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running．“We convinced ourselves to open a second store．We figured we could tell the public，‘We are so successful；we are opening a second store．’”And they did—in the spring of 1966．Still，it was a lot of learning by trial and error．
But the partners' learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength．Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers．“It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary，but as a result，the suppliers got to know me very well，and the personal relationships established really helped out，” DeLuca says．
And having a goal was also important．“There are so many problems that can get you down．You just have to keep working toward your goal，” DeLuca adds．
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich，the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了有两个人合伙开店，虽然他们经历了失败，但一直坚持，最终取得成功的故事。

Jessica Long, from Baltimore, Maryland, USA, is a champion by all definitions of the word．She is one of the world's most decorated swimmers．Jessica was the youngest athlete, at 12 years old, to win a Paralympics medal．But her path to becoming a champion has been anything but easy．
Jessica was born in Irkutsk, Russia with a serious and rare birth defect—fibular hemimelia．This means that part of her leg bones were missing or deformed．Fearing she could not care for Jessica, her young mother placed her in a Russian orphanage．
Fortunately, she was adopted by an American family when she was 13 months old．She required 25 different operations to help her leg condition．But unfortunately, both of her legs had to be amputated when she was just 18 months old．
Jessica learned to walk with man-made legs．As a child, she took to sports including gymnastics, cheerleading, ice skating, biking, trampoline, and rock climbing．
She began swimming at her grandparents' house before she started competitive swimming．She was really good at swimming．Shortly after she started competing, Jessica was selected as Maryland's Female Swimmer of the Year with Disability．
Then Jessica was encouraged to enter her first Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece．She won three gold medals in swimming at age 12! She was the youngest athlete on the US Paralympic Team to ever do so．But she did not rest on her success．Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! She is one of the most decorated athletes of all time．
She is now a positive force on a mission to encourage the next generation of Paralympic athletes! Jessica always believes she can do anything．She always gives 110%．She is always learning．And she never allows herself to quit．As she says, “The only disability in life is a negative attitude．”

Many people become successful because they pay attention to the lessons that life teaches them． 1 However，by learning to deal with the challenges，one can come out of the experience，wiser，stronger and more able to face whatever else lies ahead．
Life lessons can occur in any area．Although we learn many things each day，we don't always learn something that we feel will affect our behavior for the rest of our lives． 2 It is usually something we are greatly changed by．
For example，if we respond in a certain way to something and then face unpleasant consequences (后果)，we'll rethink how we handled the situation．This can serve as a life lesson so that when we're faced with similar circumstances，we can consciously (有意识地) change our behavior． 3
Such lessons in relationships are as varied and unique as each relationship，yet there are common themes． 4 Some of us learn a major life lesson when a loved one dies，and we wish we had spent more time with that person．This lesson can result in us spending more time with our remaining loved ones．
5 Since the lesson is learned through the consequences of our actions or reactions，in this way we can gain insight into how we think，act and react in certain situations．Perhaps one of the biggest lessons we can finally learn is that while we can't control everything，we can control our response to things．
A．Life lessons are unique to each person．
B．Some of these lessons are learned the hard way．
C．This separates a life lesson from everything else we learn．
D．Spending more time with loved ones is one of the examples．
E．Life lessons can serve to help us understand ourselves better．
F．One way to improve your life is to learn something new every day．
G．To put it simply，a life lesson teaches us not to make the same mistake twice．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是人生教训及其意义。
1．B [此空设于段中，与下句存在转折关系。有些人生教训是备尝艰辛才能学到的，然而这些艰辛也会让我们变得更聪明、更坚强，更有能力面对未知的将来。故选B。]
2．C [此空设于段中，与上句存在指代关系。C项中的This指代上句的 “something that we feel will affect ．．．”，本句明确说明人生教训和其他学习内容的区别。故选C。]
3．G [此空设于段尾，是本段的总结句，本段主要说明人生教训能教会我们不重蹈覆辙。故选G。]
4．D [此空设于段中，是一个过渡句，承上启下，既承接上文所说的不同的人际关系也有共通点，又引出下文当所爱的人亡故时，我们会后悔没有多陪陪他(她)。故选D。]
5．E [此空设于段首，是本段的主题句，本段主要讲人生教训可以帮助我们更好地认识自我。故选E。]
