Step 6 Language points
1. 【原文再现】 As Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”, and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. 维克多·雨果曾经说过，“笑容如阳光，驱走人们脸上的冬天”。关于这一点，直到今天也没有人能比查理·卓别林做得更好。 （Page18）
【知识点1】as在此引导定语从句，修饰后面整个句子，此时，定语从句的位置比较灵活，可放在句首、句中或句末，译为“正如，正像”。
As you can imagine，I am short enough of money. 正如你所想象的那样，我很缺钱。
He was a teacher, as was clear from his manner. 正如根据他的举止所断定的，他是一位老师。
【经典考例】
（2004北京卷改编）____ is reported in the newspapers, talks between the two countries are making progress.
A. It B. C. That D. What
解析： As .as在句中引导非限制性定语从句, 并且在句中作主语，代替下句整个意思。意为“正如报纸所报道的那样”。
【知识点2】 up to now 意为“迄今；到现在为止”，是多用于现在完成时的时间状语，常可与 until now, by now, so far 互换。和现在完成时连用的时间状语还有in the past few years. 如：Up to now, about 30 foreign companies have set up branches in this developing zone. 到现在为止，已有大约30家外国公司在这个开发区设立了分公司。
【知识点3】在..nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.中，当形容词或副词的比较级出现在否定句中时，往往不表示否定的意义而是表示充分的肯定。如： —I think students should have more of their own time. Don‘t you think so? 我认为学生应该有更多的属于他们自己的时间。你不这么认为吗？ —I can’t agree more. (＝I completely agree.) 完全赞同。
【经典考例】
1). Your story is perfect; I’ve never heard _____ before. A. the better one B. the best one C. a better one D. a good one
2).—Did you enjoy yourself at the party?
— Yes. I've never been to_____ one before.
A. a more excited B. the moat excited
C. a more exciting D. the most exciting
析：1).B。“never/no /nothing … + 比较级”表示最高级含义，常译为：“没有比 … 更 … 的”。从前一句可看出, 作者是在极力赞扬这个故事, 所以用I have not heard a better before. 意为“我以前从未见过比这更好的了”。2). C. 从上文可知，答者是在极力赞扬这晚会，意为“我以前从未参加过比这更好的晚会”。
2. 【原文再现】 Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. （Page 18）然后他把皮鞋上端的皮子切下来，就像是切下一块最好的牛排。
【名师点拨】句中as if引导状语从句。as if从句中的内容有时有主观想像或夸大性的比喻，此时从句中常用虚拟语气。
若从句中的动词与主句谓语动词同时发生，则从句谓语动词用过去时；若先于主句则用过去完成时，若后于主句，则用过去将来时。
He looks as if he were an artist.(同时) 他看起来就像是一位艺术家。
He speaks English so fluently as if he had studied English in America. (先于)他说英语如此流利好像他在美国学过一样。
He learns English so hard as if he would go to the USA.(后于) 他学英语如此努力就像他会去美国一样。
3. 【原文再现】 …, so they could feel more content with their lives. 所以他们对自己的生活很满意。
1) content adj. 满足的，满意的，知足的
be content with sth.
be content to do sth.
Are you content with your present salary?
She is quite content to stay at home looking after her children.
2) content vt. 使满意, 使满足
content sb. / oneself with sth. 使…满足于…
I content myself with a glass of coffee every day.
3) content n. 所含之物，内容, 目录
I like the style of the book but I don’t like the content.
4.【原文再现】 Not that Charlie’s own life was easy!倒不是说卓别林的生活好。
not that用于句首或短语之前表示否定含义，“倒不是；并不是说”。
Not that I hate the work. I'm not strong enough for it.
Not that I dislike the task, but that I am not equal to it.
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
5.【原文再现】 Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off. 不幸的是，他的父亲死了使家庭的生活更加贫困。
1）badly off 穷困的, 缺少的
be worse off 情况更坏的，恶化的
be well off 富裕的，处境好的
be better off (尤指经济)境况较好的
They are too badly off to have a holiday.
In fact most people are better off than they were five years ago.
2） leaving the family even worse off为现在分词短语作结果状语。
Football is played in over 100 countries, making it the most popular game in the world. 有100多个国家开展足球运动，使它成为世界上最受欢迎的运动。
5. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. （Page18）你会觉得震惊，卓别林会讲话的时候就被教唱歌，会走路的时候就学跳舞。
【名师点拨】此句中it作形式宾语，that从句是真正的主语；astonishing是动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。
astonishing adj. 惊人的
The car rushed at the bridge at astonishing speed.
astonish v. 使…惊讶
The news astonished everyone.
【用法拓展】
astonished adj. 惊讶的
She was astonished to find he was drunk.
He was much astonished that you had failed.
I was astonished at / by the news.
astonishment n. 惊异；惊愕；惊奇
in astonishment 愕然地， 吃惊地
She stared at me in astonishment. 　
to one’s astonishment 令某人惊讶的是…
To our astonishment, the small boy swam across the river
【立竿见影】
1). It was an ______ (astonish) performance for such a young musician.
2). To our ____________ (astonish), they arrived on time.
3). We were __________ to hear that their football team had won the championship．
【拓展归纳】动词-ing形式作宾语补足语结构中，宾语与补足语有主动关系，表示“动作正在发生”，v-ing 可用在感官动词(see, notice, watch, look at, find, hear, listen to, feel, catch)和表示“致使”意义的动词(get, have, keep, leave)后作宾语补足语。 如：Can you smell anything burning in the kitchen?
【经典考例】
1) (2010湖南卷)Listen！Do you hear someone ____for help?
A. calling B. call C. to call D. called
2).Lucy has a great sense of humour and always keeps her colleagues_____ with her stories.
A. amused B. amusing C. to amuse D. to be amused
解析：1) A。考查非谓语动词作宾补。句意为：听！你听到有人正在求救吗？设空处与宾语之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故排除D项；不定式作感官动词或使役动词的宾补要省去to且不表示动作正在进行，故排除C项；因为表示动作正在进行，故排除B项；现在分词calling 表主动且表正在进行，故为答案。
2).A．考查分词作宾语补足语。amuse与它所修饰的her colleagues存在被动关系。（be）amused with…对……感到有趣。句意：露西很有幽默感，总是使他的同事对她的故事感兴趣。
【立竿见影】用括号内所提供词的适当形式填空。
1). It’ s not ______ (surprise) that you’ re putting on weight, considering how much you’ re eating.
2). I’ m sorry to have kept you ______ (wait) for so long.
3). She caught them ______ (steal) her apples.
Keys: 1).surprising 2). waiting 3). stealing
6．The tramp, a poor and homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn－out shoes and a small round black hat.（Page 18）这个流浪汉，一个留着小胡子的穷苦的无家可归的人，穿着大裤子、破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽。
【名师点拨】a small round black hat 中的 hat前有三个形容词做定语，其语序为：大小+形状+颜色。
【拓展归纳】 在英语中多类形容词修饰同一名词的语序为：
“名称限定词(冠词 指示代词形容词性物主代词) + 数词 (序数词+基数词) + 表示性质的形容词 (大小+形状+新旧) + 年龄 + 颜色 + 国籍 + 原料 + 用途”。但几个相同性质的形容词修饰同一名词时, 和名词关系最密切最重要的应紧位于名词前。如：
all these last few years 所有这些逝去的岁月some beautiful little red flowers 一些美丽的小红花the first beautiful white Chinese military jeep 第一辆漂亮的白色中国军用吉普车
注意：我们可以用下面的一段顺口溜来帮助记忆：
限定描绘大长高，形状年龄和新老。
颜色国籍出材料，作用类别紧跟着。
【经典考例】
1). This girl is Linda’s cousin.
A．pretty little Spanish B．Spanish little pretty
C．Spanish pretty little D．little pretty Spanish（2005北京）
2). ____ students are required to take part in the boat race.
A. Ten strong young Chinese B. Ten Chinese strong young
C. Chinese ten young strong D. Young strong ten Chinese（2004浙江卷）
解析：1) A。考查多个形容词作定语的语序。此题多个形容词的顺序为：“性质+年龄+国籍”，即pretty little Spanish。2). A。此题多个形容词的顺序为：“数词+ 性质+ 年龄+ 国籍”，即Ten strong young Chinese。

7. 【课本原句】Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti.（Page 18）查理首先挑出鞋带来吃，像是吃意大利面条一样。
【名师点拨】pick out 挑出；辨别出；领会
He picked out the ripest peach. 他把熟得最透的桃挑了出来。
The window frames are picked out in blue against the white walls. 蓝色的窗框衬在白墙上十分显眼。

A. turn out B. bring out C. call out D. pick out
2). Sam ____ some knowledge of the computer just by watching others working on it.
A. brought up B. looked up C. picked up D. set up
解析：1). D。根据语境：影院是那么黑，我几乎都辨认不出我的朋友。turn out证明、结果是；bring out拿出、阐明；call out呼叫、呼唤；pick out辨认出。
2). C。句意为：Sam只通过观看别人操作电脑便学到了一些电脑知识。bring up抚养；look up抬头看，查询；pick up无意中学会, 开车接人，认出，学会, 好转；set up建造，搭起。根据句意故选C项。
3）It’s surprising that your brother
Russian so quickly he hasn’t lived there very long．
A．picked up B．l00ked up C．put up D．made up

【立竿见影】根据句意完成句子。
1) How could you _____ my daughter so easily in the crowd?
2) Let me ____ ____ some good ones for you.

8. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat.（Page 18）相反，他们被暴风雪困在三边的一个小木屋，没有东西吃。
【名师点拨】with nothing to eat为“with + 名词/代词 +不定式”结构。
With so much work to do，we can't kill any time by playing cards．由于有这么多工作要做，我们不能打牌来消磨时间。（原因状语）
With the teacher to help us，we will make greater progress．在老师的帮助下，我们会取得更大的进步。（原因状语）
【拓展归纳】with复合结构及“with ＋ 宾语 ＋ 宾语补足语”结构，宾补由分词、不定式、形容词、副词、介词短语等充当。常用来表示时间、原因、条件或伴随情况等，含义上相当于各种形式的状语分句和伴随状语。
With a boy leading the way，they started towards the village．由一个小男孩领着路，他们朝那个村子去了。（现在分词）
With the work done，he went home．工作做完后，他回了家。（过去分词）

Winter coming，it gets colder and colder．冬天来了，天气越来越冷了。
More time given，we should have done it much better．如果给我们更多的时间，我们会做得更好。
【总结归纳】在“with ＋ 宾语 ＋非谓语动词”结构中，宾语和宾补之间形成逻辑上的主谓关系。
当这种主谓关系表现为主动语态时，用现在分词；
当这种主谓关系表现为被动语态时，用过去分词；
当这种主谓关系表示将来意义时，用不定式，且用主动表示被动含义。
现在分词与过去分词的性质完全不同，但在独立结构中，有时却有共同之处：现在分词的被动式有时可以简化为过去分词。例如：
As her skirt was caught on a nail，she could not move．
→Her skirt being caught on a nail，she could not move．
→Her skirt caught on a nail，she could not move．
After his work had been finished，he went home．
→His work having been finished，he went home．
→His work finished，he went home．

A. taking??B. take??C. taken??D .to take

A. turn to B. turn on C. turn off C. turn over
3) ( 北京卷) I couldn’t do my homework with all that noise ______.
A．going on B．goes on C．went on D．to go on
解析：C。在此题“with+宾语+非谓语动词”结构中，decisions 和take之间为被动关系，take decisions“做出决定”， with the decisions taken做原因状语，句意：既然我们讨论了这个问题，人们对做出的决定很高兴吗？
2) A。此题考查“with + 名词/代词 +不定式”结构做原因状语。to turn to表示将来要发生的动作，用不定式结构，且用主动表示被动含义。句意：在这样一个恐怖的情景之中没有人可以求救，所以她感到很无助。
3) A。此题考查with复合结构“with+宾语+分词”。本题noise和go on为主动关系，表示伴随情况，所以答案为A.
9. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. （Page 18）然后他把皮鞋上端的皮子切下来，就像是切下一块最好的牛排。
【知识点1】句中as if引导状语从句。as if从句中的内容有时有主观想像或夸大性的比喻，此时从句中常用虚拟语气。
若从句中的动词与主句谓语动词同时发生，则从句谓语动词用过去时；若先于主句则用过去完成时，若后于主句，则用过去将来时。
He looks as if he were an artist.(同时) 他看起来就像是一位艺术家。

【要点精析】
一、动词-ing形式作表语
动名词作表语说明主语的内容，而且可以转换到句首作主语；现在分词作表语表示主语的特征、性质和状态，相当于形容词。
Our greatest happiness is serving the people.（动名词）
Our task is building socialism. （动名词）
The film we saw last night is quite moving. （现在分词）
His words are encouraging. （现在分词）
二、动词-ing形式作定语
动词-ing作定语用来说明该名词的用途，不表示名词本身的动作；现在分词作定语与所修饰的名词具有逻辑上的主谓关系，即现在分词相当于所修饰名词的谓语。
We must improve our working method. （动名词）
They set up an operating table in a small temple.（动名词）
China is a developing country. （现在分词）
The student making the experiment is our monitor.（现在分词 提示：
1. 动名词短语不能作定语，单个的动名词可以用作定语，但仅作前置定语。
working method = method for working
2. 单个分词和分词短语都可作定语，单个分词一般作前置定语，分词短语则作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句。
the man visiting Japan = the man who is visiting Japan
John has really got the job because he showed me the official letter ______ it. (offer)
约翰真的已经得到了这份工作，因为他给我展示了给他提供这份工作的公函。
解析：提供某物给某人为“offer sb. sth.”，故offer与the official letter之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作后置定语修饰其前的名词。
答案：offering him
三、动词-ing形式作宾补
1. 动词-ing形式作宾语补足语常放在宾语后面，表示一个正在进行的主动性的动作，强调一个过程或一种状态。
When we returned, we found a stranger standing in front of the house.
2. 当主句转换为被动结构时, 原来作宾语补足语的动词-ing形式便转换为主语补足语。
They found the film very exciting.
= The film is found very exciting.
3. see, hear, feel, watch等动词之后用-ing形式
和动词不定式作宾语补足语的区别：
We heard the telephone ring.
We heard the telephone ringing.
前者表示动作正在进行，后者表示（或强调）动作的全过程。
能用-ing形式作宾语补足语的几类动词:
1) 表示感觉和心理状态的动词，常见的有see, hear, feel, smell, find, notice, observe, look at, listen to等。
I felt somebody standing behind me.
2) 表示指使意义的动词，常见的有have, set, keep, get, catch, leave等。
I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
Leave him sleeping, he works for the whole night.
典型例题
1. The _____ boy was last seen _____ near the bank of the lake.
解析： missing; playing 。missing是形容词，作boy的定语，意思是“失踪的”。 was last seen playing表示被看见时正在玩。
2. Mr. Smith, ______ of the ______ speech, started to read a novel.
解析：tired. 此题考查现在分词与过去分词的区别。tired, moved, interested, excited等过去分词叙述的是人的本身感受；tiring, moving, interesting, exciting等现在分词叙述的是事物或事情给予人的感受。
3. When we watched the national flag ______ in the Olympic Games on TV, we raised a cheer.
解析： being raised。本题考查分词作补语，rise是不及物动词，先排除A、B两项，国旗是被人们升起的，应该用分词的被动形式。
4. — Why did you go back to the shop? — I left my son _______ there.???
解析： waiting 。本题考查分词作补语，leave 在这意思是“让…处于…状态”。

如何写叙事图画类作文
【写作指导】
命题特点：
图画式书面表达一直是高考英语书面表达的命题的常见题材之一。图画式书面表达要求考生从观察入手，通过对画面意思的理解，发挥想象能力，按照一定的要求把图画内容准确、生动地加工成书面语言。图画式书面表达为考生提供了充分发挥和自由想象的空间，使大多数考生有话可写、有话能写，这种命题形式有利于考查考生的观察能力、推理能力、想象能力和语言组织能力。图画式可以是以记叙某一事件，如2007-2017年北京卷中的“情景作文”。
解题步骤：
一. 仔细审题，锁定要点
首先应仔细审图，看懂图片所反映的特定情景。首先需从整体上把握图画所呈现的主要内容，然后从时间、空间两个方面获取图画中所反映的人物、时间、地点即活动过程。找出文章的线索或主题。根据图画内容整理出几个要点，再根据这些要点决定要采用的语言形式。要审好图，其次要仔细研读每一幅图画，注意画面间的内在联系及故事情节的发展，不放过每一细小之处：如图中的汉语文字，人物的穿着打扮及场景、氛围等，排除干扰，做出归纳，用简明扼要的汉语定出要点。
二.组词造句，简编提纲
图画情景被具体列成要点后，在考虑把各要点恰当的词汇和短语表达出来，然后用适当的句型和正确的时态、语态编写出各要点句的提纲。一般说来，一副图写一至两个要点为宜。
三．扩写提纲，连句成篇
写好提纲后，再对与每个提纲句相关的细小要点进行扩写，恰到好处的适当发挥。扩写可采用有把握的复合句、非谓语动词和介词短语等，必要时添加连词，增设过渡句，使文章更加连贯、流畅。
四．对全文进行复查。
检查要点是否完全；格式是否正确；语言基本无误；语法（主要是时态、人称、句子结构、用词等是否正确）。
【实战演练】
