注意
作状语的过去分词其逻辑主语通常就是句子的主语，且主语是过去分词动作的承受者，即过去分词表示的动作不是句子的主语发出的；过去分词与主语之间是动宾关系，即被动关系。这一点是与现在分词作状语的情况是不同的，后者与主语之间是主谓关系。
Complete each sentence using the Past Participle of the right verb.

2) The lady returned home, ________ by two policemen.

3) If _______ in a burning building, you should send for help.
4) Although ____in the leg, he continued firing at the thief.
trapped
shot
Past participle (3) Used as the attribute
过去分词作定语
过去分词作定语与其所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系,且表示该动作已经完成。单个的过去分词作定语,通常置于被修饰的词的前面；分词短语作定语时,须置于被修饰词的后面。
1. Last Sunday we went on an organized trip to the forest. 上周日我们进行了一次有组织的去森林的旅行。
2. A letter posted today will reach him the day after tomorrow. 今天寄出的信后天他就能收到。
被动意义：
an honored guest
一位受尊敬的客人
(受伤的工人)are now being taken good care of in the hospital.
B.完成意义
a retired teacher
一位退休教师
They are cleaning (落叶) in the yard.
The injured workers
the fallen leaves
过去分词作定语前置和后置两种情况
单个的过去分词作定语, 通常放在被修饰的名词之前, 表示被动和完成意义。
1.前置定语
过去分词短语作定语时, 通常放在被修饰的名词之后, 它的作用相当于一个定语从句。
This will be the best novel of its kind ever written.
=
Who were the so-called guests invited
(= ) to your party last night
that has ever been written
who had been invited
2.后置定语
如果被修饰的词是由every/some/any/no + thing/body/one所构成的复合代词或指示代词those等时，即使一个单一的分词作形容词用，也要放在被修饰词的后面。 例如：
Is there anything unsolved
There is noting changed here since I left this town.
注意:
现在分词作定语，它与被修饰的名词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，而且该动词的动作正在进行。
过去分词做定语时，它与被修饰的名词存在着逻辑上有动宾关系，而且该动词的动作已经发生了。
现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别
He worked as a worker building roads. (主动)
= He worked as a worker who / that built roads.
This is a picture painted by my father. (被动)
= This is a picture which was painted by my father.
I know the young man sleeping on the bench. (在进行)
= I know the young man who is sleeping on the bench.
The letter mailed last night will reach him tomorrow. (已完成)
= The letter which was mailed last night will reach him tomorrow.
过去分词短语有时亦可用作非限制性定语，前后常有逗号。
Some of them, born and brought up in country villages, had never seen a train.
分词作定语可以转换成定语从句:
We live in a house facing (which faces) the south.
This is the factory (which was) built in 1980.
1.Soon we lost sight of that famous astronomer called Li Qiang.
2.I am going to buy a painting copied from Vincent van Gogh.

Transportations
As people’s life is improving, people prefer to travel to different places. Not only do they enjoy local travel but also they travel abroad. Some even can afford to travel in space.
Education
Students in the future will be able to receive far better education with the help of the Internet and e-schools. And their subjects will be richer and more personal.
Life in the future
Business and money
In the future more companies and individuals prefer to do business on the Internet by using various kinds of smart cards. Even you don’t take any cash you can also do business, go to the concert or travel abroad. In a word, E-commerce will play a more important role in our daily life.
The human body
Human beings will look healthier in the future. In spite of this they still get sick. However, scientists will have a better understanding of how cancer develops.
Languages
In the future people will speak much fewer languages.
Both English and Chinese have become world languages.
Work
As to where people work in the future, the answers are
divided. Some people will be able to work at home on the
Internet, which we call SOHO.
More people will work in the companies also related to
computers. At that time, there will be more and more new
jobs like database managers, sales, engineers and so on.
Houses and buildings
In the future people will live in different places. As the population is exploding, more people will prefer to live in faraway places, under the sea or even on the moon.
Communication
In the future people will communicate more easily and conveniently. They can talk on the phone and send e-mails on the Internet. They can do almost everything on the Internet, like shopping, reading, borrowing books, depositing money, order meals and tickets.
Writing
Write about what life may be like on the earth in 1,000 years’ time. Follow these steps.
In pairs prepare 4 to 5 questions about the
future.
Ask and answer questions using the following
expressions.
Suppose that …
I wonder if …
I imagine that …
I’m sure …
Do you imagine that …
Is it likely / unlikely that …
Is it possible that …
Do you suppose that …
Perhaps/Maybe/Possibly…
Most likely …
Probably …
I think there will be more benefits than problems living in the future. Of course things will be difficult and there may be many problems.
If there is dirty air we will solve that by placing a cover over our hometown. That way we can clean the air as it enters the town, and keep out all the dust and dirt.
Sample writing
If it is too hot people will be provided with suits fitted with cooling systems. That way they will keep cool all the time.
As for the problem of the energy running out that we face today, that will be solved by using the energy from the sun to run all the electrical plants as well as cars. Luckily it will be endless clean energy!
So we think that life in the future will be much better than it is now.
