The benefits and problems of living one thousand years in the future
I think there will be more benefits than problems living
in the future. Of course things will be different 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.
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.
Read the list of the household goods below. Then listen and tick those that were mentioned as the future products.

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,而分词短语作定语,则须置于被修饰词的后面。
Attention
1. Last Sunday we went on an organized trip to the forest. 上星期我们组织了一次去森林的旅行。
2. A letter posted today will reach him the day after tomorrow. 今天发出的信后天就能收到。
分词作定语可以转换成定语从句:
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.
他们当中有一些人, 生长在农村，从未见过火车。
过去分词作定语有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
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
一位退休的教师
They are cleaning (落叶) in the yard.
The injured workers
the fallen leaves
2.后置定语
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 part last night
that has ever been written
who had been invited
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:
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
3.I like that old private house built of wood and mud
Combine these sentences using the past participle as the attribute. (page 21 Ex3.)
4.The room connected to the rest of the house by a long passage is completely empty.
5. The queen was sitting in a royal carriage drawn by four horses.
6. The vehicle mentioned in the book is unknown to me .
7. The castle built in 1432 is under repair.
1. The Olympic Games, ___ in 776 B. C., didn’t include women until 1912. A. first playing B. to be first played C. first played D. to be playing
考点点拨
简析: 首先,根据语法分析可知,待选部分是一个作定语、修饰 The Olympic Games的后置分词短语;再根据 The Olympic Games 对于动词 play 来说只能是被动承受,且已完成 (in 776 B. C.)。因此,该题应选C。
2. What’s the language ___ in Germany
A. speaking B. spoken C. be spoken D. to speak
简析: 该题应选B。测试过去分词作后置定语表达被动,等于定语从句 which is spoken。
3. Most of the artists ____ to the party were from South Africa. A. invited B. to invite C. being invited D. had been invited
简析: 该题应选A。测试过去分词作后置定语表达被动, 等于定语从句who were invited。
4. The computer centre, ___ last year, is very popular among the students in this school. A. open B. opening C. having opened D. opened
简析: 该题应选D。测试过去分词短语作定语放在所修饰的名词后,可以用非限制性定语从句“which was opened last year”代替。
5. The first textbooks ____ for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 16th century. A. having written B. to be written C. being written D. written
简析: 该题应选D。测试过去分词作后置定语表达被动,等于定语从句which were written。
另外,分词作状语时,如果其逻辑主语与整个句子的主语不一致时,需要独立主格结构或 with 复合结构来替代。(此时,也可把该分词看成介词的宾语补足语。)
例: The murderer was brought in, with his hands ___ behind his back. A. being tied B. having tied C. to be tied D. tied
简析: 很显然,待选部分的逻辑主语是 his hands,而不是句子的主语 The murderer,而 his hands 对于动词 tie来说,只能是被动承受。因此,该题应选D。
6. When _____ if she would request a rise, the actress said that
money was not important.
A. asked B. asking
C. having asked D. being asked
7. Yesterday I saw in the newspaper a teaching post _____ at a school
