四、语法精讲
The Past Participle(2)as the Object Complement
过去分词(2)作宾语补足语
英语中,过去分词可以用作宾语补足语。能用作宾语补足语的过去分词一般都是及物动词,表示被动意义或完成意义,有时候两者兼而有之。作宾语补足语的过去分词与宾语有逻辑上的动宾关系,即宾语是过去分词动作的对象。如:
She found the door broken in when she came back.?
她回来时发现有人破门而入。?
(此句中过去分词作宾语补足语,与宾语door之间具有被动关系,表示一种状态。)?
为了使同学们对过去分词作宾语补足语的用法有一个系统而又具体的认识,本文对以下几种用法进行分析并加以概括,以利于大家掌握
解释 例子
过去分词用在表示状态的动词keep,leave等的后面。 ①They kept the door locked for a long time.他们把门锁了好长一段时间。②Don't leave the windows broken like this all the time.不要让窗户一直像这样破着。
“have+宾语+过去分词”可以表示两种含义。 ①表示“让某人做某事”。如:I have had my bike repaired.我让人修了修我的自行车The villagers had many trees planted just then.就在那时,村民们叫人种了许多树②表示“遭遇到某种不幸;受到打击”。如:My elder sister had her wallet stolen on a bus last month.上个月,我姐姐的钱包在汽车上被偷了The old man had his wrist broken in the accident.这位老人在事故中腕部摔坏了。
在“make+宾语+过去分词”这种结构中,过去分词的动词必须表示结果。 ①I raised my voice to make myself heard.我提高了嗓门以便被人家听到②They managed to make themselves understood using very simple English.他们用了很浅易的英语来设法使自己被理解
过去分词常用在感官动词watch,notice,see,hear,listen to,feel,find等的后面。 ①When we got to school,we saw the door locked.当我们到学校时,我们看见门锁着。②We can hear the windows beaten by the heavy rain drops.我们可以听到大雨点敲打窗户的声音
过去分词用在want,wish,like,expect,order等表示“希望,愿望,命令”这一类动词的后面作宾语补足语。 The teacher wouldn't like the problem discussed at the moment.老师不想此刻讨论这个问题②I want the suit made to his own measure.我想要这套衣服照他自己的尺寸做③My parents expected me to be well-prepared for the entrance examination.?我父母希望我好好准备入学考试
过去分词用在“with+宾语+宾补”这一结构中,过去分词与宾语之间是动宾关系。 ①The thief was brought in with his hands tied behind his back.小偷被带进来了,双手被反绑在后面。②With many brightly-colored flowers planted around the building,his house looks like a beautiful garden.周围种了许多色彩鲜艳的花,他的房子看上去就像一座漂亮的花园

高考真题
1. Even the best writers sometimes find themselves ____for words.
A. lose B. lost C. to lose D. having lost
【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意:即便是最优秀的作家有时也会难以找到合适的词汇表达。“find oneself +done”表示“感到自己被……”,由于空格处和themselves有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以选用过去分词作宾语补足语。其它选项形式不对。
2.(2011?陕西卷?T14)Claire had her luggage an hour before her plane left.
A. check B. checking C. to check D. checked
【解析】选D。考查非谓语动词的用法。结构“have sth. done”意为“某事/某物被做”。句意:飞机起飞前,克莱尔的行李接受了检查。由于名词luggage与动词check之间为被动关系,故选择过去分词作宾补。
3. This restaurant has become popular for its wide of foods that suit all
tastes and pockets.
A. division B. area C. range D. circle
【解析】选B。此题不仅考察学生对于四个选项的认知,更重要的是要理解句子的含义。“这家餐馆越来越出名 是由于它做的各种各样的食物适应各种类型人群。”“a range of ”强调一个系列,而“a wide range of”意为“各种各样的”。正好符合题意。从句子结构来讲,这个句子属于典型的“从句套从句”。“for”引导原因状语从句,“that”引导定语从句。
4. More and more high-rise buildings have been built in big cities space.
A. in search of B. in place of C. for lack of D. for fear of
【解析】选C。考查介词短语。句意为:“因为缺少空间,越来越多的高层建筑在城市中被建造。”A项意为“寻找……”;B项意为“代替,替代”;C项意为“缺乏,短缺”;D项意为“担心,害怕”。据句意可知,C项符合。
5. Thousands of foreigners were______ to the Shanghai World Expo the day it opened.
A. attended B. attained C. attracted D. attached
【解析】选C。表示成千上万的外宾被吸引来参加上海的世博会。
6. —How about your journey to Mount Emei?
—Everything was wonderful except that our car _________ twice on the way.
A. slowed down B. broke down C. got down D. put down
【解析】选B。考查动词短语的区别,答语的意思是:一切都进展顺利除了我们的汽车在途中抛锚了两次外。break down抛锚;slow down 慢下来;get down记下,写下;put down 扑灭。所以该题的答案为B.

四、阅读理解
A
Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets. The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history.
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化的) gambling. Some critics (批评家) note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts (成瘾者) who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶习), under the name of social progress.
No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.
56. In just one minute in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold ________ tickets.
??????A. 500??????? B. 30,000?????????? C. 15,000???????? D. 50,000
57. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should _________.
??????A. join a club?????????????????????????????????????????? B. kick the habit
??????C. win the Pennsylvania??????????????????????????? D. save every cent
58. All the following opinions correspond with those of the critics EXCEPT _________.
A. lotteries are as bad as legalized gambling
B. some poor people spend money unreasonably on lotteries
C. lotteries cause problems like addiction and unwise investment
D. the profits from lotteries used for senior-citizen education is social progress
59. The main idea of the passage is that __________.
??????A. lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them
??????B. playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market
??????C. popularity of the lottery in America causes disagreement
??????D. lotteries are just legalized vice
B
“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.
A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
60. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of self- control.
B. How to conquer oneself?
C. The relation between a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.
D. A man should keep cool.
61. What’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”?
A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.
B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.
C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.
D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.
62. Which of the following is NOT true, according the to passage?
A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.
B. You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.
C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.
D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.
63. Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?
A. Be calm in arguing.
B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low.
C. Keep your mouth shut.
D. Try to make the others angry first.
