四、阅读理解
To the west and off the European Continent, there are several thousands of islands on the Continental shelf(大陆架). They are generally called the British Isles. Of all these isles, the largest one is called Great Britain. For convenience, it is often shortened to Britain. Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is made up of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands around them. The total area of the country is some 240,000 square kilometers with a population of about 57 million.
Great Britain runs nearly 1,000 kilometers from south to north and extends, at the widest part, about 500 kilometers from west to east. Its area is some 230,000 square kilometers. Great Britain is traditionally divided into three parts, or countries: England in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the southwest. There are discernible(可辨别的) differences between them even now.
England is the largest and most developed of all the three. Its area, about 130,000 square kilometers, takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. Its population is more than 46 million which makes up 85% of the country’s whole population. The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say “England” when they mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English who are the majority in the United Kingdom.
Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. It has an area of about 78,760 square kilometers, less than 30% of the whole island, with a population of 5 million, less than one-tenth of the whole population.
Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. In area, 20,700 square kilometers, makes up less than 9% while its population, 2.7 million, does not exceed(超过)5% of the whole.
1. The British Isles is made up of ________.
A. the European Continent and Great Britain

D. several thousands of islands to the west and off the European Continent
2. Which of the following figures shows the correct position of Great Britain?
3. From the third paragraph we can infer that Great Britain has a population of about ________ million.
A. 54 B. 46 C. 60 D. 57
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. England is six times larger than Wales in area.
B. England is six times larger than Scotland in area.
C. Scotland is six times larger than Wales in area.
D. Great Britain is six times larger than Wales in area.
Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man, “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.”

To the west and off the European Continent, there are several thousands of islands on the Continental shelf(大陆架). They are generally called the British Isles. Of all these isles, the largest one is called Great Britain. For convenience, it is often shortened to Britain. Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is made up of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands around them. The total area of the country is some 240,000 square kilometers with a population of about 57 million.
Great Britain runs nearly 1,000 kilometers from south to north and extends, at the widest part, about 500 kilometers from west to east. Its area is some 230,000 square kilometers. Great Britain is traditionally divided into three parts, or countries: England in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the southwest. There are discernible(可辨别的) differences between them even now.
England is the largest and most developed of all the three. Its area, about 130,000 square kilometers, takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. Its population is more than 46 million which makes up 85% of the country’s whole population. The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say “England” when they mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English who are the majority in the United Kingdom.
Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. It has an area of about 78,760 square kilometers, less than 30% of the whole island, with a population of 5 million, less than one-tenth of the whole population.
Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. In area, 20,700 square kilometers, makes up less than 9% while its population, 2.7 million, does not exceed(超过)5% of the whole.
1. The British Isles is made up of ________.
A. the European Continent and Great Britain
B. the U. K. and the Republic of Ireland
C. England, Scotland and Wales
D. several thousands of islands to the west and off the European Continent
2. Which of the following figures shows the correct position of Great Britain?
3. From the third paragraph we can infer that Great Britain has a population of about ________ million.
A. 54 B. 46 C. 60 D. 57
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. England is six times larger than Wales in area.
B. England is six times larger than Scotland in area.
C. Scotland is six times larger than Wales in area.
D. Great Britain is six times larger than Wales in area.

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the President of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man, “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.”
1. This story happened in ________.
A. England B. America C. Japan D. Australia
2. There are ________ in this passage.
A. two men and two women
B. three men and one woman
C. three women and one man
D. four women
3. The banker thought ________.
A. he was really important because he was a rich banker
B. the visitor to the White House was really important
C. the visitor who met the President of the United States
D. the reporter was really important
4. The owner of many buildings thought ________.
A. he was really important because he owned many buildings in the center of New York
B. the owner of the very large company was really important
C. the visitor was really important if he was talking to the President and the President received a telephone call for the visitor
D. the person who worked in the White House was really important

Unit2 The United Kingdom-语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
学会过去分词作宾补的用法；
理解作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语之间的关系
能够使用过去分词做宾补的情况作对相关题目，灵活使用。
过去分词作宾补
作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语之间的关系
1.及物动词（短语）的过去分词用作宾语补足语时，宾语即是过去分词的逻辑宾语，宾语和过去分词之间存在逻辑上的被动关系。
例如：I want the letter posted. 我想把这封信寄出去。
2. 少数不及物动词如 go, change, fall 等的过去分词作宾语补足语时，仅表示动作完成。因此，宾语与过去分词之间不存在逻辑上的被动关系。
例如：She found her necklace gone on her way home. 在回家的路上，她发现项链不见了。
3. 动词 seat, hide, dress, lose, devote 等的过去分词作宾语补足语一般表示状语而不表示被动的意义，因此，虽然宾语与它们存在逻辑上的主动关系，但也只能用它们的过去分词作宾语补足语。
例如：When I came in, I found a strange girl seated in the corner. 我进来时，发现一个陌生的女孩坐在角落里。
需用过去分词作宾语补足语的情况:
1.使役动词get ,have ,make, keep，leave等后，可用过去分词做宾语补足语，表：“致使某人或某事被…”
We should keep them informed of what is going on here.
Jane got her bad tooth pulled out at the dentist’s.
2 .感官动词feel, find, hear, notice, see, watch等表示感觉和心理状态的动词之后，表：“感受到某人或某事被做”。
I was sleeping when I heard my name called.
He was disappointed to find his suggestions turned down.
I saw him beaten by his mother.
3. 表示“意欲；命令”的动词如：like ,order, want, wish,相当于过去分词短语前省略了to be, 表示“希望/要求某人或某事被做”
I wish these letters (to be) typed as soon as possible
He didn’t want such question discussed at the meeting.
The father wants his daughter taught the piano.
1感feel 1闻smell 1发现find
2听hear, listen to,
3情感 want, wish, like
4使役 keep, leave, get, have, make
4看watch, notice, see, look at, observe, catch +sth./sb. done
4.有时过去分词作宾补可以变为被动语态，这时过去分词改作主语补足语，说明主语所处
的状态。
The door was found broken.
5.“with ＋宾语＋过去分词”结构中，过去分词用作介词 with 的宾语补足语。这一结构通常在句中作时间、方式、条件、原因等状语。例如：
The murderer was brought in, with his hands tied behind his back.
凶手被带进来了，他的双手被绑在背后。（表方式）
With water heated, we can see the steam. 水一被加热，我们就会看到水蒸气。（表条件）
With the matter settled, we all went home.事情得到解决，我们都回家了。（表原因）
注意：
在这一结构中，当宾语为某一身体部位，且作宾补的动词是及物动词时，身体部位通常是过去分词的逻辑宾语，因而过去分词不可换用现在分词。
She stood in front of him, with her eyes fixed on his face.
她站在他面前，眼睛注视着他（ fix one’s eyes on 为固定短语，因此，不可将句中 fixed 换为 fixing ）
He stood for an instant with his hand still raised.他仍然举着手站了一会儿。
用某些不及物动词的分词形式作身体部位的宾补时，用现在分词的形式。
She felt her heart beating fast. 她觉得心跳很快。（beat 意为“心跳”，是不及物动词）
掌握“使役动词 have + 宾语＋过去分词”的几种含义
在“ have ＋宾语＋过去分词”结构中，过去分词作宾语补足语，have 也可用 get.这一结构具有以下几种含义：
1.意为“主语请别人做某事”。例如：
He wants to have his eyes examined tomorrow.他明天想去检查眼睛。（“检查”的动作由医生来进行）
2. 意为“主语遭遇、遭受某一不愉快、不测的事情”。例如：
Be careful, or you'll have your hands hurt. 当心，否则会弄伤手的。
3. 意为“使完成某事”，事情既可以是别人做完，也可以由主语参与完成。例如：
He had the walls painted this morning. 他今早把墙漆了。（主语自己可能参与）
4. 过去分词与不定式,现在分词作宾补的区别:三者与宾语逻辑上都是主谓关系，但过去分词强调他们之间的被动关系，不定式强调动作发生的全过程，现在分词强调他们之间的主动关系，正在进行。
I saw her taken out of the classroom.
I saw her come into the classroom.
I saw her coming into the classroom.
省略to的情况：
1） 情态动词 ( 除ought 外，ought to);
2） 使役动词 let, have, make;
3） 感官动词 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find 等后作宾补，省略to。
注意：在被动语态中则to 不能省掉。
I saw him dance. =He was seen to dance.
The boss made them work the whole night.=They were made to work the whole night.

I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.
The red ribbon，an international symbol of AIDS awareness，is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese，from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.
Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years，we have watched，read and heard many stories from doctors，volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.
The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programs，and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million Yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million Yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?
The figures，ranging from confirmed cases to estimates，remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was making public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups’ drug addicts and people working in sex-related place as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.

__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
学会过去分词作宾补的用法；
理解作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语之间的关系
能够使用过去分词做宾补的情况作对相关题目，灵活使用。
过去分词作宾补
作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语之间的关系
1.及物动词（短语）的过去分词用作宾语补足语时，宾语即是过去分词的逻辑宾语，宾语和过去分词之间存在逻辑上的被动关系。
例如：I want the letter posted. 我想把这封信寄出去。
2. 少数不及物动词如 go, change, fall 等的过去分词作宾语补足语时，仅表示动作完成。因此，宾语与过去分词之间不存在逻辑上的被动关系。
例如：She found her necklace gone on her way home. 在回家的路上，她发现项链不见了。
3. 动词 seat, hide, dress, lose, devote 等的过去分词作宾语补足语一般表示状语而不表示被动的意义，因此，虽然宾语与它们存在逻辑上的主动关系，但也只能用它们的过去分词作宾语补足语。
例如：When I came in, I found a strange girl seated in the corner. 我进来时，发现一个陌生的女孩坐在角落里。
需用过去分词作宾语补足语的情况:
1.使役动词get ,have ,make, keep，leave等后，可用过去分词做宾语补足语，表：“致使某人或某事被…”
We should keep them informed of what is going on here.
Jane got her bad tooth pulled out at the dentist’s.
2 .感官动词feel, find, hear, notice, see, watch等表示感觉和心理状态的动词之后，表：“感受到某人或某事被做”。
I was sleeping when I heard my name called.
He was disappointed to find his suggestions turned down.
I saw him beaten by his mother.
3. 表示“意欲；命令”的动词如：like ,order, want, wish,相当于过去分词短语前省略了to be, 表示“希望/要求某人或某事被做”
I wish these letters (to be) typed as soon as possible
He didn’t want such question discussed at the meeting.
The father wants his daughter taught the piano.
1感feel 1闻smell 1发现find
2听hear, listen to,
3情感 want, wish, like
4使役 keep, leave, get, have, make
4看watch, notice, see, look at, observe, catch +sth./sb. done
4.有时过去分词作宾补可以变为被动语态，这时过去分词改作主语补足语，说明主语所处
的状态。
The door was found broken.
5.“with ＋宾语＋过去分词”结构中，过去分词用作介词 with 的宾语补足语。这一结构通常在句中作时间、方式、条件、原因等状语。例如：
The murderer was brought in, with his hands tied behind his back.
凶手被带进来了，他的双手被绑在背后。（表方式）
With water heated, we can see the steam. 水一被加热，我们就会看到水蒸气。（表条件）
With the matter settled, we all went home.事情得到解决，我们都回家了。（表原因）
注意：
在这一结构中，当宾语为某一身体部位，且作宾补的动词是及物动词时，身体部位通常是过去分词的逻辑宾语，因而过去分词不可换用现在分词。
She stood in front of him, with her eyes fixed on his face.
她站在他面前，眼睛注视着他（ fix one’s eyes on 为固定短语，因此，不可将句中 fixed 换为 fixing ）
He stood for an instant with his hand still raised.他仍然举着手站了一会儿。
用某些不及物动词的分词形式作身体部位的宾补时，用现在分词的形式。
She felt her heart beating fast. 她觉得心跳很快。（beat 意为“心跳”，是不及物动词）
掌握“使役动词 have + 宾语＋过去分词”的几种含义
在“ have ＋宾语＋过去分词”结构中，过去分词作宾语补足语，have 也可用 get.这一结构具有以下几种含义：
1.意为“主语请别人做某事”。例如：
He wants to have his eyes examined tomorrow.他明天想去检查眼睛。（“检查”的动作由医生来进行）
2. 意为“主语遭遇、遭受某一不愉快、不测的事情”。例如：
Be careful, or you'll have your hands hurt. 当心，否则会弄伤手的。
3. 意为“使完成某事”，事情既可以是别人做完，也可以由主语参与完成。例如：
He had the walls painted this morning. 他今早把墙漆了。（主语自己可能参与）
4. 过去分词与不定式,现在分词作宾补的区别:三者与宾语逻辑上都是主谓关系，但过去分词强调他们之间的被动关系，不定式强调动作发生的全过程，现在分词强调他们之间的主动关系，正在进行。
I saw her taken out of the classroom.
I saw her come into the classroom.
I saw her coming into the classroom.
省略to的情况：
1） 情态动词 ( 除ought 外，ought to);
2） 使役动词 let, have, make;
3） 感官动词 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find 等后作宾补，省略to。
注意：在被动语态中则to 不能省掉。
I saw him dance. =He was seen to dance.
The boss made them work the whole night.=They were made to work the whole night.
1. Li Hua hopes that his English teacher will suggest a good way to have his English ________in a short period of time.
A. improved B. improving C. to improve D. improve
解析：句意为：李华希望他的英语老师提出一个好方法，能使他的英语可以在短时间内得以提高。本题考查have sth.done这一短语的使用。因English与动词improve之间是被动关系，故选A项。B、D项表主动关系，故排除。
答案： A
2. When the minister came to the snow-stricken area，he was happy to see the disaster victims well________.
A. take care of B. took care of C. taken care of D. taking care of
解析：考查非谓语动词。从句子的结构和语意可以看出victims 与take care of 存在逻辑上的动宾关系，因此使用被动形式，在句中充当宾语补足语。
答案： C
3. Lucy has a great sense of humor and always keeps her colleagues ________with her stories.
A. amused B. amusing C. to amuse D. to be amused
解析：句意为：Lucy很有幽默感，总是讲故事让她的同事消遣。考查非谓语动词作宾补。首先排除C、D，因为keep 后不用不定式作宾补。amused 觉得好笑的；amusing 逗人笑的，令人觉得好笑的。
答案： A
4. The girl glanced over her shoulder and found herself ________by a young man in black.
A. was followed B. followed C. following D. had been followed
解析：考查非谓语动词。根据语意可知，follow和herself之间是动宾关系，因此用动词的过去分词形式作宾语补足语。注意：found后不是句子，A、D两项可直接排除。
答案： B
5. Television has so many advantages. It keeps us ________about the ________news, and it also provides entertainment in the home.
A. informed; latest B. to know; later C. learning; later D. to think; latest
解析：本题考查keep sb.done的结构以及形容词的最高级的用法。句意为“电视有如此多的好处，它使我们知道最新的消息，而且给我们在家里提供娱乐”。根据句意可知第一个空白处应用informed作us的宾语补足语，表示“我们被告知”，而the latest news则表示“最新消息”。
答案： A

The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programs，and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million Yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million Yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?
The figures，ranging from confirmed cases to estimates，remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was making public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups’ drug addicts and people working in sex-related place as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.

参考范文：
Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m glad to have a chance to introduce one of Beijing’s most beautiful places of interest, the Palace Museum to you. As the world-famous historical site, the Palace Museum is located in the center of Beijing and is visited by thousands of visitors every year. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was served as the royal residence. There are many ancient buildings in the museum which is called a sea of palaces.
It took many people 14 years to build the Palace Museum which is also called the Forbidden City and it was finished in 1420. The Palace Museum became a museum in 1925 and since then it has been open to the public. Wish you a good time here. Thank you.
