二. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Every pet owner loves his pet .There is no argument here.
But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion .
Clearly, from readers' response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的)sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people's widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure (步骤).
Most of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply did not wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets' heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It's understandable. Death is always painful. It's difficult to deal with. It's hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of this problem.
60. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, .
A. a lot more of them are for it
B. a lot more of them are against it
C. very few of them are willing to tell their opinions
D. about half of them are for it and the other half against it
61. The expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet.” (in paragraph 3) refers to .
A. the death of one's pet
B. the final ownership of a pet
C. the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
D. the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
62. In spite of their differences on the problem of cloning, it seems that .
A. all pet owners love their pets very much
B. all pet owners try to go against the natural law of life and death
C. people who support cloning love their pets more
D. people who dislike cloning love their pets more
63. From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .
A. has never thought about the problem of cloning
B. thinks it hard to accept the idea of cloning pets
C. is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
D. is all against the cloning of pets

Dear Sir or Madame,
I'm glad to recommend my favorite English newspaper or magazine.
As a senior high school student, I like English Weekly best. Because it provide us students with sufficient exercises to master English and the background knowledge at the front page helps us further understand the passages in our textbooks. Besides, I am also fond of 21 Century. It's easy for us students to read the newspaper and we can read some fresh articles about current affairs, campus trends and so on. What's the most important is that we can improve our reading skill and enrich our vocabulary by reading this kind of newspaper.
Thank you very much.

第6讲Inventors and inventions 语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
1.掌握动词过去分词的用法和功能;
2.能够熟练运用非谓语中的动词的过去分词。
一. 概述:分词分为现在分词和过去分词。在句中作定语、状语、表语和宾语补足语。
(一). 分词的作用:
作定语
单个分词作定语,分词前置。如:
The sleeping boy is my son.
The excited people rushed into the building.
A lost opportunity never returns.
He is a retired worker.
分词短语作定语,分词后置;分词修饰不定代词something等要后置;个别分词如give,left等作定语也后置。如:
The girl standing under the tree is my niece.
The building built last year is our library.
This is the question given.
There is nothing interesting.
过去分词作定语与其修饰的词是被动关系,相当于一个被动语态的定语从句。如:
Most of the people invited to the party were famous scientists
作表语
现在分词作表语多表示主语具有的特征,过去分词作表语多指主语所处的状态。如:
The film is touching.
The glass is broken.
She looked tired with cooking.
He remained standing beside the table.
作宾语补足语
分词和不定式一样,在一些感官动词或使役动词后作宾语补足语。如:
I smell something burning.
I heard him singing the song.
I heard my name called.
I can’t make myself understood in English.
I found my car missing.
I’ll have my watch repaired.我想把我的手表修一下。
作插入语
其结构是固定的,意思上的主语并不是句子的主语。
generally speaking 一般说来 talking of (speaking of) 说到
strictly speaking 严格地说 judging from 从···判断
all things considered 从整体来看 taking all things into consideration 全面看来。如:
Judging from his face, he must be ill.从他的脸色看,他一定是病了。
Generally speaking, dogs can run faster than pigs.总的来说,狗比猪跑得快。
(二). 分词的时态
与主语动词同时。如:
Arriving there, they found the boy dead.刚一到那儿,他们就发现那男孩死了。
先于主语动词
分词作时间状语,如果先于主动词的动作,且强调先后,要用having done。如:
Having finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
After he had finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
做完作业,他出去散步。
(三). 分词的语态
通常情况下,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动。如:
He is the man giving you/who gave you the book他就是给你书的那个人
She is the girl stopped by/who was stopped by the car.她就是那个被车拦住的女孩。
不及物动词的过去分词表示动作已经发生。像:gone, fallen, retired, grown-up, escaped, faded, returned等词。如:
a retired person 一个退休的人 a fallen ball 一个落下来的球
a burnt-out match 烧完了的火柴
二. 现在分词和过去分词的区别:
在语态上,现在分词表示主动意义,过去分词表示被动意义;
在时间上,现在分词表示的动作往往正在进行或者与谓语动词同时发生,过去分词表示的动作已经完成或没有一定的时间性。
如:falling leaves 正在下落的树叶 fallen leaves 已经落在地上的树叶

As with many aspects of modern life, light pollution represents both a triumph of technology and a minor disaster. It disrupts a basic relationship that has evolved between humans and the natural world. Historians such as A. Roger Ekrich have noted how darkness influenced cultural and social practices. The territory of intimacy and imagination, night can also carve out a refuge from the never-ending responsibilities of the day.
I remember recently being in Times Square, and there was so much light that it just felt like we were in a domed stadium almost, looking up at something totally artificial above us. When most Americans are living now in cities and suburbs where they’re getting anywhere from two dozen to four dozen stars instead of 2, 500, which is the number you could see on a normal night with no light pollution, it’s almost like why bother? I don’t know if most people even look up and notice the stars. And certainly way back, when a night sky was something that would tell you stories about your life, we’re way beyond that.
I have very good friends in New Mexico. I said to him it must be amazing here at night and I asked, do you have stories associated with the constellations for example? He said we have a whole legend filled with stories about how to live and what a good life is. Human culture in America is totally disconnected from that now.
It would be one thing if all this light were doing good. But the fact is that it’s having an impact on all these creatures from birds to turtles to insects that can’t do anything about it. They’re at our mercy.
There are so many things we could do to control it and to use it intelligently, that I like working with an issue that there are steps we can take immediately to address this problem.
1. It is implied in Para. 1 that night is when people .
A. can avoid the life pressure temporarily
B. get rid of the disaster of technology
C. experience the influence of culture
D. can imagine social practices freely
2. The example of light in Times Square proves that people can’t .
A. see 2, 500 stars on a normal night
B. learn about their life from a night sky
C. develop a relationship with nature at night
D. get anywhere without artificial light
3. According to the writer, American culture .
A. tells mainly about what a good life is
B. is closely related to the constellations
C. lacks the stories about the night sky
D. tends to tell people how to live
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Light pollution needs dealing with right away.
B. Night skies are polluted by artificial light.
C. The Milky Way is never to be seen again.
D. Species are endangered by light pollution.
第6讲Inventors and inventions 语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
1.掌握动词过去分词的用法和功能;
2.能够熟练运用非谓语中的动词的过去分词。
一. 概述:分词分为现在分词和过去分词。在句中作定语、状语、表语和宾语补足语。
(一). 分词的作用:
作定语
单个分词作定语,分词前置。如:
The sleeping boy is my son.
The excited people rushed into the building.
A lost opportunity never returns.
He is a retired worker.
分词短语作定语,分词后置;分词修饰不定代词something等要后置;个别分词如give,left等作定语也后置。如:
The girl standing under the tree is my niece.
The building built last year is our library.
This is the question given.
There is nothing interesting.
过去分词作定语与其修饰的词是被动关系,相当于一个被动语态的定语从句。如:
Most of the people invited to the party were famous scientists
作表语
现在分词作表语多表示主语具有的特征,过去分词作表语多指主语所处的状态。如:
The film is touching.
The glass is broken.
She looked tired with cooking.
He remained standing beside the table.
作宾语补足语
分词和不定式一样,在一些感官动词或使役动词后作宾语补足语。如:
I smell something burning.
I heard him singing the song.
I heard my name called.
I can’t make myself understood in English.
I found my car missing.
I’ll have my watch repaired.我想把我的手表修一下。
作插入语
其结构是固定的,意思上的主语并不是句子的主语。
generally speaking 一般说来 talking of (speaking of) 说到
strictly speaking 严格地说 judging from 从···判断
all things considered 从整体来看 taking all things into consideration 全面看来。如:
Judging from his face, he must be ill.从他的脸色看,他一定是病了。
Generally speaking, dogs can run faster than pigs.总的来说,狗比猪跑得快。
(二). 分词的时态
与主语动词同时。如:
Arriving there, they found the boy dead.刚一到那儿,他们就发现那男孩死了。
先于主语动词
分词作时间状语,如果先于主动词的动作,且强调先后,要用having done。如:
Having finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
After he had finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
做完作业,他出去散步。
(三). 分词的语态
通常情况下,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动。如:
He is the man giving you/who gave you the book他就是给你书的那个人
She is the girl stopped by/who was stopped by the car.她就是那个被车拦住的女孩。
不及物动词的过去分词表示动作已经发生。像:gone, fallen, retired, grown-up, escaped, faded, returned等词。如:
a retired person 一个退休的人 a fallen ball 一个落下来的球
a burnt-out match 烧完了的火柴
二. 现在分词和过去分词的区别:
在语态上,现在分词表示主动意义,过去分词表示被动意义;
在时间上,现在分词表示的动作往往正在进行或者与谓语动词同时发生,过去分词表示的动作已经完成或没有一定的时间性。
如:falling leaves 正在下落的树叶 fallen leaves 已经落在地上的树叶
1.(2014安徽卷)While waiting for the opportunity to get? ??? , Henry did his best to perform his duty.A. promote B. promoted C. promoting D. to promote答案: B解析: 本题考察的非谓语动词的固定搭配“get+过去分词”,如“get burnt”被烫伤,get paid获得报酬;本句中的get promoted获得提拔。句义:在等待着背提拔的机会的时候,Herry全力以赴地尽好自己的责任。故B正确。
2.(2014福建卷)For those with family members far away, the personal computer and the phone are important in staying________.A. connected B.?connecting C.?to connect D.?to be connected答案: A解析: 系动词stay/get后面经常接过去分词转换的形容词,如get paid获得报酬。Get burnt被烫伤;本句中的stay connected保持联系。句义:对于那些家人在远方的人,电脑和电话在和家人保持联系方面是很重要的。故A正确。
3.(2014四川卷)The manager was satisfied to see many new products ______ after great effort.A. having developed B. to develop C. developed D. develop答案: C解析: 此题考查的是过去分词developed作感官动词see的宾语many new products的补足语,因为develop与宾语products间为被动关系,故使用过去分词。句意:经理很满意地看见在付出巨大努力之后看到很多新产品被研发出来。A项表示的是主动关系,B项不定式表示为了将要发生的事情。故C正确。
4.(2015陕西卷)Back from his two-year medical service in Africa, Dr. Lee was very happy to see his mother________good care of at home.A. taking B. taken C. take D. be taken答案: B解析: 本句考察的是非谓语动词做宾语补足语的用法。句中动词take与his mother构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以使用过去分词表示被动。排除AC项,因为AC项都表示主动,D项不符合非谓语的结构。句义:......李博士很开心看到他的妈妈在家被照顾得很好。故B正确。
5.(2014浙江卷 )Annie Salmon, disabled, is attended throughout her school days by a nurse _______ to guard her.A. to appoint? B.appointing C. appointed D. having appointed答案: C解析: 本句中的动词appoint任命与前面的名词nurse之间构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语appointed to guard her做定语来修饰前面的名词nurse。句意:残疾的Annie Salmon整个上学期间都是由一名被指定帮助他的护士照顾的。ABD三项均表示的是主动关系。故C正确。

Judging from his face, he must be ill.从他的脸色看,他一定是病了。
Generally speaking, dogs can run faster than pigs.总的来说,狗比猪跑得快。
(二). 分词的时态
与主语动词同时。如:
Arriving there, they found the boy dead.刚一到那儿,他们就发现那男孩死了。
先于主语动词
分词作时间状语,如果先于主动词的动作,且强调先后,要用having done。如:
Having finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
After he had finished his homework, he went out for a walk.
做完作业,他出去散步。
(三). 分词的语态
通常情况下,现在分词表示主动,过去分词表示被动。如:
He is the man giving you/who gave you the book他就是给你书的那个人
She is the girl stopped by/who was stopped by the car.她就是那个被车拦住的女孩。
不及物动词的过去分词表示动作已经发生。像:gone, fallen, retired, grown-up, escaped, faded, returned等词。如:
a retired person 一个退休的人 a fallen ball 一个落下来的球
a burnt-out match 烧完了的火柴
二. 现在分词和过去分词的区别:
在语态上,现在分词表示主动意义,过去分词表示被动意义;
在时间上,现在分词表示的动作往往正在进行或者与谓语动词同时发生,过去分词表示的动作已经完成或没有一定的时间性。
如:falling leaves 正在下落的树叶 fallen leaves 已经落在地上的树叶
1.(2014安徽卷)While waiting for the opportunity to get? ??? , Henry did his best to perform his duty.A. promote B. promoted C. promoting D. to promote答案: B解析: 本题考察的非谓语动词的固定搭配“get+过去分词”,如“get burnt”被烫伤,get paid获得报酬;本句中的get promoted获得提拔。句义:在等待着背提拔的机会的时候,Herry全力以赴地尽好自己的责任。故B正确。
2.(2014福建卷)For those with family members far away, the personal computer and the phone are important in staying________.A. connected B.?connecting C.?to connect D.?to be connected答案: A解析: 系动词stay/get后面经常接过去分词转换的形容词,如get paid获得报酬。Get burnt被烫伤;本句中的stay connected保持联系。句义:对于那些家人在远方的人,电脑和电话在和家人保持联系方面是很重要的。故A正确。
3.(2014四川卷)The manager was satisfied to see many new products ______ after great effort.A. having developed B. to develop C. developed D. develop答案: C解析: 此题考查的是过去分词developed作感官动词see的宾语many new products的补足语,因为develop与宾语products间为被动关系,故使用过去分词。句意:经理很满意地看见在付出巨大努力之后看到很多新产品被研发出来。A项表示的是主动关系,B项不定式表示为了将要发生的事情。故C正确。
4.(2015陕西卷)Back from his two-year medical service in Africa, Dr. Lee was very happy to see his mother________good care of at home.A. taking B. taken C. take D. be taken答案: B解析: 本句考察的是非谓语动词做宾语补足语的用法。句中动词take与his mother构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以使用过去分词表示被动。排除AC项,因为AC项都表示主动,D项不符合非谓语的结构。句义:......李博士很开心看到他的妈妈在家被照顾得很好。故B正确。
5.(2014浙江卷 )Annie Salmon, disabled, is attended throughout her school days by a nurse _______ to guard her.A. to appoint? B.appointing C. appointed D. having appointed答案: C解析: 本句中的动词appoint任命与前面的名词nurse之间构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语appointed to guard her做定语来修饰前面的名词nurse。句意:残疾的Annie Salmon整个上学期间都是由一名被指定帮助他的护士照顾的。ABD三项均表示的是主动关系。故C正确。

As with many aspects of modern life, light pollution represents both a triumph of technology and a minor disaster. It disrupts a basic relationship that has evolved between humans and the natural world. Historians such as A. Roger Ekrich have noted how darkness influenced cultural and social practices. The territory of intimacy and imagination, night can also carve out a refuge from the never-ending responsibilities of the day.
I remember recently being in Times Square, and there was so much light that it just felt like we were in a domed stadium almost, looking up at something totally artificial above us. When most Americans are living now in cities and suburbs where they’re getting anywhere from two dozen to four dozen stars instead of 2, 500, which is the number you could see on a normal night with no light pollution, it’s almost like why bother? I don’t know if most people even look up and notice the stars. And certainly way back, when a night sky was something that would tell you stories about your life, we’re way beyond that.
I have very good friends in New Mexico. I said to him it must be amazing here at night and I asked, do you have stories associated with the constellations for example? He said we have a whole legend filled with stories about how to live and what a good life is. Human culture in America is totally disconnected from that now.
It would be one thing if all this light were doing good. But the fact is that it’s having an impact on all these creatures from birds to turtles to insects that can’t do anything about it. They’re at our mercy.
There are so many things we could do to control it and to use it intelligently, that I like working with an issue that there are steps we can take immediately to address this problem.
1. It is implied in Para. 1 that night is when people .
A. can avoid the life pressure temporarily
B. get rid of the disaster of technology
C. experience the influence of culture
D. can imagine social practices freely
2. The example of light in Times Square proves that people can’t .
A. see 2, 500 stars on a normal night
B. learn about their life from a night sky
C. develop a relationship with nature at night
D. get anywhere without artificial light
3. According to the writer, American culture .
A. tells mainly about what a good life is
B. is closely related to the constellations
C. lacks the stories about the night sky
D. tends to tell people how to live
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Light pollution needs dealing with right away.
B. Night skies are polluted by artificial light.
C. The Milky Way is never to be seen again.
D. Species are endangered by light pollution.
