高考解读
【高考导航】
2010高考命题趋向分析：
1.approach为新课标重点单词意思：（1）vt 接近，靠近（2）n 接近，方法；途径。考点主要是它作为动词的意思及作为名词常与to连用，表示“......的方法”。06年湖北卷对这一用法进行了考查。还要注意它与way, method的区别。此考点在2010年高考命题的侧重点可能放在名词的用法上
2. curious是新课标重点单词。意思为：好奇的。考点主要是它的两个固定搭配：be curious about对……好奇及be curious to do 极想做某事06年辽宁卷对be curious about进行了考查。2010年，考生应该重视be curious about的重要用法
3.be likely to do为新课标重点短语。主要考查角度是它的意思及它与be possible to do ,be probable to do的区别，主要是主语的区别，likely的主语既可以是人也可以是物；而possible 和probable主语只能是形式主语it.主要考查形式为单项选择及完形填空。2010年有可能考查它与possible和probable区别上
4.lose face为新课标重点短语。考点主要是它的意思及和lose相关的其他短语，如lose heart 灰心, lose one’s heart to 爱上lose weight减肥, lose one’s way 迷路，lose one’s life 丧生。其中，08上海卷对lose heart进行了考查。2010年学生应重点掌握短语的区别。特别是lose heart

1-8 ABDBAABB
Module4unit4 第二课时
【基础过关】
现在分词做定语和状语
一、现在分词作定语
现在分词及其短语可以在句子中作定语，其作用相当于一个定语从句。其动作和谓语动词同时发生，与其修饰词之间是主动关系，也就是说现在分词的动作就是它修饰的那个词的动作
1．现在分词作定语时的位置
（1）现在分词作定语时多置于它所修饰的名词之前；分词断语用于它所修饰词的后面。例如：
He is an attacking player.他是一个攻击型的运动员
They live in a room facing the north。
他住在一个朝北的房间里。
（2）如现在分词修饰由some/any/no + thing/body/one所形成的不定代词或指示代词those时，分词在这些被修饰词的后面例如：
Anyone swimming will be punished.正在游泳的任何人都将受到惩罚
全析提示
1、现在分词作定语时与谓语动词的时间关系
现在分词又进行意味和主动意味，因此，用现在分词作定语时，其表示的动作是与谓语动词同时发生的,或是正在发生的动作。例如：
There were no soldiers drilling.
= There were no soldiers who were drilling.没有士兵在操练
全析提示
having done(现在分词的完成时态)表示该动作先于另一个动作，现在分词的完成时态永远不能作定语
2、如果一个及物动词作定语，既要表达进行意味，又要表达被动意味时，可用现在分词的被动语态。例如：
Do you know the boy being punished by our teacher?
你认识正在被我们老是处罚的那个男孩吗?
二、现在分词作状语
现在分词及其短语可在句子中作状语来修饰谓语动词或整个句子。用来表示动作发生的时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、或伴随情况等例如：
Climbing to the top of the hill, we saw a beautiful view.
欢迎各位优秀教师踊跃投稿
爬上山顶后我看到了一幅美丽的景象
1、现在分词作状语与谓语动词时间关系
（1）现在分词表示的动作和谓语动词表示的动作同时发生或几乎同时发生分词用一般形式例如：
Not recognizing the voice, he refused to give the person his address.
因为没听出这个人的声音，他没把自己的地址给他
It rained heavily, causing great damage.大雨滂沱，造成了很大损害
全析提示
分词作作状语时必须注意分词的逻辑主语必须与句子主语保持一致。但是，有几个常用词组不符合这种语法限制如：
generally speaking, considering, judging from,
（2）现在分词表示的动作和谓语表示动作（或状态）是同时发生或几乎同时发生的。否则现在分词需用完成形式例如：
Having already seen the film twice, she didn’t want to go to the cinema.
这电影他已看过两遍，他不想去看了
Not having received his father’s letter, he decided to make a call to him.因为没收到他父亲的信，他决定打个电话给他父亲
思维拓展
【典型例题】
1. The secretary worked late into the night, ____ a long speech for the president.
A to prepare
B preparing
C prepared
D was preparing
【答案】B 本题考察现在分词作伴随状语用法
【点拨】句子中的分词与逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故选B
2.____ a reply, he decided to write again.
A Not receiving
B Receiving not
C Not having received
D Having not received
【答案】C 考查分词用法。
【点拨】分词短语表示的动作在谓语动词之前发生，故用现在分词的完成时态。Not 要放在非谓语动词之前
3. “Can't you read?” Mary said ____ to the notice.
A angrily pointing
B and point angrily
C angrily pointed
D and angrily pointing
欢迎各位优秀教师踊跃投稿
[解析] 现在分词作伴随状语，分词与逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故选现在分词。故答案为A
4. If you want a letter ____ , you must keep in mind several rules while ____.
A written; written
B well written; writing
C well writing; writing
D well written; write
[解析]第一个空为过去分词作定语，分词与他修饰的名次之间有被动关系，所以用过去分词。第二个空是while加现在分词作时间状语现在分词与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系。故答案为B。

Life is not easy．
But it is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it．Then life is no longer difficult．
Most do not fully see this truth．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表)a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families．their class．or even their nation．
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems , depending on their nature, cause us sadness，or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings．often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit．we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said．“Those things that hurt , instruct．”I t is for this reason that wise people

Many young people tells me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to

want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune, there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year job in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.
After a ye ar or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test —even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
61. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. to show y oung people it’s unrealistic for a writer to seek wealth and fame
B. to advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C. to warn young people of the hardship that a writer has to experience
D. to encourage young people to take up a writing career

B. He found his dream would never come true.
C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
63. Which of the following is true?
A．If you have a dream, you can make it come true.
B. Don’t to be a writer
C. Many young people think if they can write, they can become a writer.
D. The writer will give up being a writer.

B. who regret giving up their career halfway
C. who think too much of the dark side of life

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity．Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied(依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affair. In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people．I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success .By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try．’’What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that i f they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．
Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how students may have to find jobs．These students have to worry about assignments and grades and also about their jobs．If they work too much at their jobs they may be absent from class or miss assignments or make too many errors on tests．They may even fail their courses and have to leave the university．
66．The authors think that_________.
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition shouldn’t be encouraged．
C．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．
D．Winning should be a life—and—death matter．
67．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A．One’s success in competition needs great efforts．
B．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’．

C．One’s achieve ment is determined by his particular skills．
D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried．

A．those who try their best to win
B．those who are against competition most strongly
C．those who value competition most highly
D．those who rely on others most for success
69．Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A．It encourages individual efforts．
B．it builds up a sense of responsibility．
C．It improves personal abilities．
D．It pushes society forward．

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans.
