现在分词(短语)作状语
句型公式
【句式点拨】
现在分词(短语)作状语时,句子的主语与现在分词之间是逻辑上的主动关系,可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式、伴随等。现在分词的一般式(doing)作状语,表示动作与谓语所表示的动作同时发生,而完成式(having done)作状语,则表示动作在谓语动作之前发生,通常相当于一个状语从句或并列分句。一般来说,这种结构的逻辑主语就是句子的主语。
【活学活用】

[2024·吉林长春外国语学校高二月考]
On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes.
The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.
As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (航行).
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.
Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.
While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
( )1.What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal
A.The opportunity to improve existing skills.
B.The need to reconnect with a high school friend.
C.The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal.
D.The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill.
( )2.Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience
A.Tough but rewarding.
B.Boring and uneventful.
C.Difficult and frustrating.
D.Relaxing but unpredictable.
( )3.What can be inferred about the author
A.She used to lack confidence in herself.
B.She became more willing to take risks.
C.She went on to become an expert surfer.
D.She discovered the surfing was her true calling.
( )4.What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing
A.The value of pushing your limits and trying new things.
B.The need to seek professional training in all new skills.
C.The benefit of travelling with unknown companions.
D.The importance of being an expert in one field.

现在分词(短语)作状语时,句子的主语与现在分词之间是逻辑上的主动关系,可以
表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式、伴随等。现在分词的一般式
(doing)作状语,表示动作与谓语所表示的动作同时发生,而完成式
(having done)作状语,则表示动作在谓语动作之前发生,通常相当于一个状语
从句或并列分句。一般来说,这种结构的逻辑主语就是句子的主语。

[2024·吉林长春外国语学校高二月考]
On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from
a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing
adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly
knew my answer was yes.
The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30
to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast
to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.

As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my
boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey.
Through my 33 years, I've observed a common adult tendency:
we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess.
There's a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming
increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally,
this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to
neglecting other areas of potential growth.
Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town,
where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities
1

and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to
challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are
shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer
waves but are difficult to navigate (航行).
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves.
Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us,
but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of
encouragement filled the air.
1
2

Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone,
but that didn't matter because a new level of genuine joy and
personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come
from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops
when you finally manage to grasp something you've been working
on.
While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired
me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone
and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you're
capable of if you don't go out there and try.
