Video from the landing site showed the craft’s single occupant—Lt.Colonel Yang Liwei—waving to a crowd assembled around the capsule as it lay on its side minutes after landing.Chinese media also reported the landing point was just 4.8 kilometers from the targeted touchdown site in Inner Mongolia.Yang was carried away from the spacecraft in a seat and looked a bit wobbly and dazed on state television coverage of the event.Off icial reports from Xinhua say Yang“was confirmed to remain in good health”after his 21-hour stint in orbit.After its launch early Wednesday from the Jiuquan space center aboard a Long March 2F rocket, the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft entered orbit with passenger Yang Liwei, a 38-year old Chinese fighter pilot that found himself thrust into the international spotlight with his selection for the inaugural manned flight.Throughout his historic 21-hour journey, the 5-foot, 6-inch taikonaut—or yuhangyuan—reported no ill effects and no technical problems with the spacecraft were reported.Conversations with the ground control center in Beijing reportedly went as expected as communications was relayed through tracking stations and sea vessels scattered around the world.As expected, Shenzhou 5’s entry and service modules were jettisoned from the orbital module as the time neared for the pivotal de-orbit burn to bring the taikonaut back to Earth. Thrusters were then fired to nudge the craft out of orbit and to put it on a trajectory to land in the steppes of Inner Mongolia, about 1000 kilometers from the launch site at Jiuquan.The orbital module remained behind in space to complete its own mission over the next several months In all, the mission lasted approximately 21 hours, 23 minutes from liftoff to touchdown.The historic flight completed 14 orbits of Earth and traveled about 600 000 kilometers.“Yang’s return to land from outer space signifies completion of the first step taken by China to implement its plans for space exploration.More steps are to follow—attempts for space walk, rendezvous and docking of spaceships and setting up of a space lab, ”Xinhua reported Wednesday night.“Sometime from now, up in the space, high up over the Earth, there will be a space statio n which, like Shenzhou 5 that has just made history, will be designed, built and manned by the Chinese, ”the agency said.Wearable HalfkeyboardIt’s quite interesting to use a pocketable keyboard with a Palm or PPC to write something.I borrowed a Palmone Tungsten T and a Logitech TypeAway Keyboard from a boy yesterday.The Keyboard uses the universal port to connect the palm.It is a Palm Vx on the keyboard:The wearable Halfkeyboard was designed to let you turn your PDA into a wearable computer.Drugs delivered by robots in the bloodA 3 millimetre-long swimming robot constructed by Chinese scientists could eventually be used for drug delivery or to clear arteries in humans.The craft is propelled by an external magnetic field which controls its fins.The fins are made from an alloy that contracts in response to application of the field.The next stage is to build a robot with fins that respond to different magnetic field resonance.This would enable an operator to control the fin separately and steer the robot around.The project is at an early stage but in the future remote controlled machines could be used to deliver drugs to a particular part of the body.The watch reminds you’ve forgotten the keysGaetano Borriello, a University of Washington computer scientist has developed a working prototype of a smart swatch system.Like pretty anything called“smart”these days, it works with RFID tags.The wristwatch acts as an interface, driven by a personal server the wearer can carry in a pocket, but which will eventually be a part of the wristwatch itself.Important items are labeled with RFID tags and RFID readers are installed at various locations to read the tags.The UW smart watch system works as follows: an RFID reader senses the tags on, say, your books, relays the data to the personal server in your pocket.The server checks if anything has been forgotten, and if so, it sends a prompt to the wristwatch to alert you.The server also takes into account the last known location of items, your calendar and where you may be going.“This is really part of a larger effort to create an RFID-enabled building, a sort of microcosm of what society would be like if these things take off, ”said Borriello who hopes to have a building-wide system up and running within a year.。

personality and how to work.In order to attract more attention, the designers should give a vivid description about its outstanding advantages and function.In addition to beautiful appearance and extraordinary function, the designing should also be full of imagination. The group whose description is wonderful, together with imaginative, beautiful and functional design, will be the winner.Reference for TeachingSpace program in the futureThe risk takers and visionaries of this agency have expanded human knowledge, have revolutionized our understanding of the universe, and produced technological advances that have benefited all of humanity.Inspired by all that has e before, and guided by clear objectives, today they set a new course for America’s space program.They will give NASA a new focus and vision for future exploration.They will build new ships to carry man forward into the universe, to gain a new foothold on the moon, and to prepare for new journeys to worlds beyond their own.Their current programs and vehicles for exploring space have brought them far.The Space Shuttle has flown more than a hundred missions.It has been used to conduct important research and to increase the sum of human knowledge.Shuttle crews, and the scientists and engineers who support them, have helped to build tTelescopes—including those in space—have revealed more than 100 planets in the last decade alone.Probes have shown them stunning images of the rings of Saturn and the outer planets of our solar system.Robotic explorers have found evidence of water—a key ingredient for life—on Mars and on the moons of Jupiter.At this very hour, the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit isIt is time for America to take the next steps.Their first goal is to plete the International Space Station by 2010.They will focus their future research aboard the station on the long-term effects of space travel on human biology.The environment of space is hostile to human beings.Radiation and weightlessness pose dangers to human health, and we have much to learn about their long-term effects before human crews can venture through the vast voids of space for months at a time.Research on board the station and here on Earth will help us better understand and overe the obstacles that limit exploration.Through these efforts we will develop the skills and techniques necessary to sustain further space exploration.The second goal is to develop and test a new spacecraft, the Crew Exploration V ehicle, by 2008, and to conduct the first manned mission no later than 2014.The Crew Exploration Vehicle will be capable of ferrying astronauts and scientists to the Space Station after the shuttle is retired.But the main purpose of this spacecraft will be to carry astronauts beyond our orbit to other worlds.This will be the first spacecraft of its kind since the Apollo mand Module.The third goal is to return to the moon by 2020, as the launching point for missions beyond. Beginning no later than 2008, they will send a series of robotic missions to the lunar surface to research and prepare for future human ing the Crew Exploration Vehicle, they will undertake extended human missions to the moon as early as 2015, with the goal of living and working there for increasingly extended periods.With the experience and knowledge gained on the moon, man will then be ready to take the next steps of space exploration: human missions to Mars and to worlds beyond.Yet the human thirst for knowledge ultimately cannot be satisfied by even the most vivid pictures, or the mostdetailed measurements. And only human beings are capable of adapting to the inevitable uncertainties posed by space travel.GalaxyAny of the systems of stars and interstellar matter makes up the Cosmos.Many such assemblages are so enormous that they contain hundreds of billions of stars.Nature has provided an immensely varied array of galaxies, ranging from faint, diffuse dwarf objects to brilliant, spiral-shaped giants.Virtually all galaxies appear to have been formed soon after the universe began, and they pervade space, even into the depths of the farthest reaches penetrated by powerful modern telescopes.Galaxies usually exist in clusters, some of which in turn are grouped into larger clusters measuring hundreds of millions of light-years across.(A light-year is the distance traversed by light in one year, traveling at a velocity of 300 000 kilometers per second, or 650 000 000 miles per hour.) These so-called super clusters are separated by nearly empty voids, causing the gross structure of the universe to look somewhat like a network of sheets and chains of galaxies.Galaxies differ from one another in shape, with variations resulting from the way in which the systems were formed.Depending on the initial conditions in the pregalactic gas some 15 000 000 000 years ago, galaxies formed either as slowly turning, smoothly structured, round systems of stars and gas or as rapidly rotating pinwheels of such entities.Other differences between galaxies have been observed and are tho ught to reflect evolutionary changes.Some galaxies are rife with activity: they are the sites of star formation with its attendant glowing gas and clouds of dust and m olecular plexes.Others, by contrast, are quiescent, having long ago ceased to form new stars.Perhaps the most conspicuous evolutionary changes in galaxies occur in their nuclei, where evidence suggests that in many cases super massive objects—probably black holes—formed when the galaxies were young.Such phenomena occurred several billion years ago and are now observed as brilliant objects called quasars.The existence of galaxies was not recognized until the early 20th century.Since then, however, galaxies have bee one of the focal points of astronomical investigation.The notable developments and achievements in the study of galaxies are surveyed here.Included in the discussion are the external galaxies (i.e., those lying outside the Milky Way Galaxy, the local galaxy to which the Sun and Earth belong), their distribution in clusters and super clusters, and the evolution of galaxies and quasars.For further details on the Milky Way Galaxy, see Milky Way Galaxy.ForA future vehicleWhile many technological advances occur in an evolutionary manner, occasionally arevolutionary technological appears on the horizon that creates startling new conditions and profound changes.Such is the case with the privately developed Moller Skycar, which is namedThe LAMV is a vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can fly in a quick, quiet, and agile manner.It is a new type of vehicle that bines the speed of an airplane and the vertical take-off capability of a helicopter with some characteristics of a ground vehicle, but without the limitationsThe LAMV is not operated like traditional fixed—or rotary-wing aircraft.It has only two hand-operator uses to direct the redundant puter control twists to select the desired operating altitude and moves fore and aft to select the rate of climb.The right-hand control twists to select the vehicle’s direction and moves side-to-side to provide transverse (crosswise) movement during the hover and early-transition-to-flight phases of operation; it also moves fore and aft to controlThe LAMV of the future will be 18 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 6 feet high and weight 2200 pounds.It will hold four passengers and a payload of 875 pounds (including fuel).The vehicle will have a maximum rate of climb of 6400 feet per minute and an operational ceiling of 30 000 feet.It will attain a top speed of 390 miles per hour at an altitude of 6000 feet and a cruising speed of 350 miles per hour at 25 000 feet, and it will have a maximum range of 900 miles at 80 passenger miles per gallon.T he LAMV also will be quiet enough to function as an acoustic“stealth”plane at 500 feet.It will have a vertical take-off and landing capability and emergency airframe parachutes,The potential economic advantages of the LAMV are worth mentioning.Its fuel-efficient engines and ability to operate on various fuels will low fuel costs.The LAMV uses one-fourth of the fuel per passenger mile used by the tilt-rotor V-22 Osprey or high performance helicopters.TheHowever, once the LAMV technology matures, its military possibilities are sta rtling.We in the Army bat servi ce support“futures”arena are encouraged by the developments so far and hope that the LAMV will be ready for Army fielding around 2010.The LAMV can bee a reality in our Army and possibility in the other armed services as well.Without any doubt, this technological innovation will succeed internationally inn the private, mercial, and military sectors.I hope that the US Army will be the first army in the world to embrace and exploit this technology.But sooner rather than later, this aerial vehicle technology will affect all of our lives.It is just over the horizon.。

Period 3Listening and SpeakingThe General Idea of This PeriodThis is the third period of this unit.At the beginning of this period, the teacher should design some exercises to review what the students learned in the last period.The second period centers on the understanding of the passage First Impression.The teacher can begin with asking some questions or having a competition to make some sentences with“first impressions”according to the passage.This period mainly deals with listening and speaking.At the beginning, teachers focus on training the Ss’ listening.This listening content is about living in“Wonderworld”and a new kind of quilt, which Xiao Feng has invented.It can “think” for itself and become warmer or cooler according to the weather.When tra ining the Ss’ listening ability, teachers should start with pre-listening, that is lead-in.If it is necessary, teachers had better introduce some background knowledge about the listening material.After that, ask the students to predict what the following listening material may be about according to the given information.Teaching students to listen in a proper way is the aim of this activity.A good listener should be able to predict according to some hints such as the topic, the questions listed, etc., to listen with the purpose of finding useful information and to ter, let the Ss listen to it.At the same time, teachers should design some simple questions.After that, the Ss have known some about the listening material, and then teachers can ask them to listen to it again to be ready for more difficult questions.If necessary, the Ss can be given another time to listen.While practicing, teachers had better give students some advice on how to do it well.Certainly, suppose there are many new words and expressions, teachers deal with them firstly.After practicing listening, the Ss are expected to learn some expressions about imagination. The topic is about what life will be like what life will be like in your hometown in 1000 years’ ter let the students work in pairs.Imagine you are two inventors and you have designed a new product, which you want to sell.First, you need to decide on your product.It can be anything that people might find useful in the future.It might save them time, make work easier or help in communication.Second, you will have to explain to the class exactly how your product works.It can use any branch of science.Third, you need to show that people will be willing to use it.During the course, teachers should rank class activities from the easy to the difficult.First, ask them to learn the expressions.Then, ask them to imitate it to have a dialogue.Finally, the students are expected to create a dialogue or discuss the given topic, using the expressions about imagination.This period lays emphasis on speaking and listening.The teacher should try his or her best to encourage the students to say something.Don’t always correct the mistakes that the students would make while speaking.Otherwise, the students would feel reluctant to speak out their opinions.Teaching Important PointsTrain the students’ speaking ability by describing, talking and discussion.Help the students improve their listening ability.Teaching DifficultiesTrain the students’ listening ability.Especially listen and understand the key words and understand the speakers’ intention and attitude.Teaching Aidsa tape recorder, a projector, the blackboardThree Dimensional Teaching AimsKnowledge AimsLet the Ss know about some wonderful imagination.Get the Ss to learn how to express imagination.Ability AimsTrain the students’ speaking ability by describing, talking and discussion.Train the students’ listening ability.Develop the students’ imagination ability.Emotional AimsTrain the students’ ability to c ooperate with others.Develop the students’ imagination ability.Teaching ProcedureStep 1 GreetingT: Hello, boys and girls.Ss: Hello, Miss Wang.Step 2 RevisionT: Today we will begin our lesson with a competition between groups.In the last period, we learnt about an e-mail written by Li Qiang.Now, please say something that you know about it.If you offer a complete sentence, you will be given ten marks.Your group will be given twenty marks when your expression is especially beautiful.S: Li Qiang paid a visit to the future in AD3005.S: He felt very nervous at first, but he felt much better after eating green tablets.S: He arrived on the earth in one thousand years by capsule.Ss: ...(The teacher should encourage more students to join in the competition.At the end of the competition, the teacher should announce the result of this competition.Praise the winner and encourage the losers.)Step 3 Listening(on Page 23)Task 1 Pre-listeningT: Let’s read the following phrases together.space creatures, living on another planet, new discoveries in space, why a space station spins, how to get water on Mars, comets, houses in a town on Mars, Martian creatures, atmosphere and gravityT: Can you understand those phrases?Please predict what you are going to listen may be about according to the phrases.Ss: It may be about life on the other planet.Task 2 First ListeningT: Now let’s listen to the tape to see whether what you predict is right or not.At the same time, you are asked to tick the things that you hear on the tape?Do Exercise One on Page 23.(After listening, let them check the answers.)Task 3 Second ListeningT: This time.You’d write down the answers to the four questions.Boys and girls, how can we write the answers fast and correctly?S: We should go through the questions first and keep them in mind.When we are listening, we just need to pay much attention to the sentences related to the answers.S: We needn’t write down each word of the answers.We just write down some key words. Later we can write down the complete answers with the help of these key words.T: You are clever.Now please get ready.First, look through the introduction to the listening material.Then, scan the questions.(Two minutes later, the teacher plays the tape.Then give Ss time to organize their sentences.) T: Let’s check the answers one by one.(If students make some common mistakes or they seem to have difficulty in finding out answers, teachers can give them some hints and let them listen to it again.After that, check the answers.If the students feel it difficult to make sense about the key words and understand the speakers’ intention and attitude, the teacher should give them some help.)Task 4 Post-listeningT: After listening, would you please answer some questions?1.What did you hear on the tape?2.Do you think people in the future will be able to live in“Wonderworld”?Why do you think so?(At this part the teacher may have the students present what they have heard on the tape and show their own opinion on liv ing in“Wonderworld”.If possible, the teacher may have some of the students do the presentation work in class.By doing this, the students can get full understanding of what the tape is talking about.)Step 4 Post-listening(on Page 55)Task 1 Pre-readingT: Now let’s learn about a magic quilt.Xiao Feng has invented this new kind of quilt.It can“think”for itself and become warmer or cooler according to the weather.Let’s read the following words and phrases on Page 55.Try to pronounce them correctly.Task 2 First ListeningT: Now, let’s listen to the tape and tick the things you hear on the tape.(Later ask the students to check the answers.)Task 3 Second ListeningT: Just now we have listened to it and know some advantages of this special quilt.Suppose you are marketing manager in the company that makes the quilts.So you have been asked to find areas in the world to sell the quilt.Listen to the tape again and think of the places where the quilt will work best.You will be asked to finish Exercise Two.It will work best in __________ winters and__________ summers.(After listening, let the students check the answers.)Task 4 Post-listeningT: You did a very good job just now.Let’s go on to fill in the e your atlas if you need(If the students have some difficulty, let them listen to the tape a third time.Then give them about three minutes to consider and discuss with their partners.Finally check the answers and exchange their opinion.)Step 5 SpeakingTask 1 Lead-inT: Boys and girls, are you sure what will happen to you tomorrow?S: No.No one knows what will happen tomorrow.T: I agree with you.When we express what will happen, what expressions do we often use?S: Is it possible that...?S: Suppose that...T: Good.We often use them to express our imagination.Besides those, we also use the following:I wonder if...Do you imagine that...?I wonder if...Is it likely/unlikely that...?Do you suppose that...?Perhaps/Maybe/Possibly...Mostly likely...Probably...Task 2 PracticeT: Now please use these expressions to list some questions about what life will be like in your hometown in 1000 years’ time.Then exchange your questions with your par tner.After that, get together with another pair and answer their questions and ask them your questions.Four students make up a group.By asking and answering, you four choose the best questions and answers.Finally each group will choose a representative to give a talk to the class.Task 3 TalkingT: Now let’s work in pairs.Imagine you are two inventors and you have designed a new product, which you want to sell.First, you need to decide on your product.It can be anything that people might find useful in the future.It might save them time, make people’s work easier or help in communication.Second, you will have to explain to the class exactly how your product works.It can use any branch of science.Third, you need to show that people will be willing to use it.These descriptions of some imaginary products may help you.1.These“flying boots”are operated by a small computer chip.They will rise straight up from the ground and hover or move quickly forwards or backwards.Press the switch in your hand once to start and twice to stop.2.Another time-saving invention.This is a shirt that cleans itself as you wear it.Heat from your body warms the shirt and it attracts water vapor from the air.When there is enough water the shirt releases chemical, which cleans itself as you wear it.3.Never pay for electricity again!This light bulb absorbs light from the sun and stores it.When you turn it on at night, the light is released so the bulb gives off“free”light.(As usual, the teacher won’t forget to give comments on what th e students do, including the teacher’s words praising what they are doing in the first few stages.Only in this way are the students encouraged to talk freely about what they want to say and why they think so.) Step 6 SummaryT: In this period, we mainly focus on the speaking and listening abilities.If you feellistening or speaking poor, you had better practice more.Practice makes perfect.After class, would you please do so?Today’s homework is to invent what you want to own in the future.Then prepare for description of how it will work and what advantages of using it.The Design of the Writing on the BlackboardUnit 3 Life in the futureResearch and ActivitiesRead the following material about Mars, and then write a passage about whether people in the future will be able to live on the Mars.In the passage, you will be asked to present your opinion and try to persuade others to believe in your imagination.Basic atmospheric dataThe Martian atmosphere is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (CO2).It is very thin (less than 1 percent of the Earth’s atmospheric pressure).Evidence suggests that the atmosphere was much denser in the remote past and that water was once much more abundant at the surface.Only small amounts of water are found in the lower atmosphere today, occasionally forming thin ice clouds at high altitudes and, in several localities, morning ice fogs.Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and the rare gases (neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) also are present in small quantities.The characteristic temperature in the lower atmosphere is about 200 K, which is generally colder than the average daytime surface temperature (250 K).It decreases upward from the surface at about 1.5 K per vertical kilometer.Unlike that of the Earth, the total mass (and pressure) of the atmosphere experiences large seasonal variations, as carbon dioxide“snows out”at the winter pole.The annual variation of surface pressure was measured to be about 26 percent of the mean atmospheric pressure (7-8 millibars) at the lander sites, equivalent to some 7.9×1012 metric tons of carbon dioxide .Although the Martian atmosphere is thin, it supports a variety of clouds.White clouds are water ice, while the“yellow”ones are dust storms that throw dust into the atmosphere to heights of 10 km (6 miles) or more.Even in the absence of storms, the atmosphere is never clear of dust, which greatly affects atmospheric structure.Reference for TeachingExploring the planet MarsPeople on Earth have always been interested in the planet Mars.Recently, that interest has increased because several successful spacecraft have been placed in orbit around Mars.These include the American space agency’s Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey and the European Space Agency’s Mars Expre ss.Perhaps the most exciting event took place on January third.That is when the first of two Mars exploration vehicles successfully landed on the Red Planet.The first lander is named“Spirit”.It came to rest in an area of Mars named Gusev lions of people used their computers to link with NASA’s Internet Web site to see photographs sent back by Spirit.On January fifteenth, NASA scientists told Spirit to use its six wheels to move off the landing device.It did this successfully and rolled on to the surface of Mars.Excited NASA officials said Spirit was now ready to begin its task of exploring the surface of the Red Planet.On January twentieth, scientists told the exploration rover to use one of its tools to study the soil near the rock.The next day, Spirit began having problems.It answered radio signals, but it would not send back scientific information.NASA officials began to work to correct the problem with Spirit’s computer.The part of the computer that stores information was not working correctly.On February 1st, NASA announced that Spirit’s computer memory had been successfully repaired.It will begin scientific examinations of rocks later this week.The second vehicle is named“Opportunity”.It landed in an area of Mars called Meridiani Planum.NASA scientists say Opportunity landed inside a large hole in the surface of the planet.Photographs from Opportunity show several large formations of rock.The photographs clearly show this rock is below the surface.NASA scientists say the rock they see in the photographs is not like anything they have ever seen before.NASA officials say they have discovered and confirmed that Opportunity landed on an area of Mars that is rich in the mineral crystalline hematite.On Earth such hematite usually forms in the presence of water.Scientists want to know if the hematite on Mars was formed under water too.Some evidence suggests that long ago the Meridiani Planum area of Mars was wet and held water.Opportunity will search for more evidence of water and any evidence that some kind of life could have existed in the area.When they get to an interesting area they reach out with a mechanical arm that carries several tools.The arm carries the microscope, two instruments for identifying what the rock is made of and a tool for cutting into the rock.Scientists say that Spirit and Opportunity will explore the surface of Mars for as long asninety days.The rovers will be exploring the surface in an effort to find evidence of water on Mars.Water is extremely important to any future human exploration of Mars.The two devices are trying to discover if we have not been alone in the universe.They are trying to answer the question: Is there any evidence that life once existed on the Red Planet?UN calls for greater efforts to protect environment U.N.Secretary General Kofi Annan said that the theme of this year’s World Environment Day is Connect with the World Wide Web of Life, “a choice that reflects the need for every one of us to recognize our role in preserving our fragile planet and the ecosystems, resources and natural process that bind us all together.”“More than ever, life on Earth requires of us a sense of universal responsibility—nation to nation, person to person, human to all other forms of life, ”he said.Klaus Toepfer, executive director of the U.N.Environment Program, said that the riches of the information age are being felt by everyone on earth, however, the world’s old problems are enduring and urgent, citing the looming threats of inequalities brought about by the forces of globalization, poverty, reduced food security, the intricate balance between population, resources and the environment, the challenge of sustainable development and the relationship of all these to the future of humanity and the environment.“The theme of this year’s World Environment Day is a reminder that the earth with all its complex, interlocking ecosystems, is the foundation of our lives.It is our common heritage.The bounty of nature is one and indivisible.It knows no frontiers, no ter ritorial borders, ”he said.He noted that human beings are a part of a vast web of interconnected species and systems that fit together in intricate ways, enabling the whole system to continue.“There are limits to how much our population can grow, and how much we can alter our surrounding environment, without causing changes that will reverberate throughout that web and jeopardize our own future, ”he said.He called on governments and people worldwide to join hands and take common steps to protect environme nt so as to pass a safe, clean world to human’s offspring.。

Grammar和现在分词及短语一样,过去分词(past participles)或过去分词短语(past participial phrases)也可以充当副词,修饰谓语动词.过去分词短语可以表达下列四种意思:(1)方法或活动方式,如:● He walked up and down, lost in thought.● I sat before the desk until after mid-night, absorbed in writing.● Surrounded by a host of fans, the film star left the air port excitedly.(2)原因,如:● Greatly disappointed, some staff decided to leave the place.● Taken by surprise, the enemy surrendered.(3)时间,如:● Born and bred in a turbulent age, the older generation of people experienced all sorts of hardships.● Thrown to the floor, the boy regained his footing a few minutes later.(4)条件,如:● Given more time, the slow learners would have done better.● Criticized by someone else, Tony would not have flared up like that.除了直接修饰动词之外,过去分词或短语也可以和连词合组成短语,表示下列四种意思:(1)由 when, whenever, while, until 等连词引导,表示“ 时间”,如:● When asked about his previous job, Bill said he had been a motor mechanic.● Susan seldom speaks in class until spoken to.(2)由 where, wherever 连词引导,表示“地点”,如:● Mosquitoes should be completely exterminated wh ere found.● Retirees in good health should be invited to return to work wherever needed.(3)由 if, unless 引导,表示“条件”,如:● If kept for too long, some medicines will lose their effectiveness.● We have made a point of not attacking unless attacked.(4)由 though, although, even though 连词引导,表示“让步”,如:● Though warned of the danger, they still went mountaineering.● Even though defeated for a second time, our team did not give up hope for the ultimate victory.此外,过去分词短语还可以和介词“with”或“without”连用,具副词作用.如:● Wit h the water pipe choked, there wasn't any more water for use.● Without anything left in the kitchen, the Wangs decided to eat out.最后,过去分词短语,在适当情况下,可以有自己地主语而变成独立结构(the absolute construction),如:● The old man listened, his head inclined to one side4. Studying the past participle as the attribute过去分词作定语,在语态上,表被动;在时间上,表示动作已经发生或完成,与它所修饰地名词有逻辑上地动宾关系.过去分词作定语时,所修饰地名词在逻辑上相当于被动句中地主语,过去分词相当于谓语.过去分词作定语表示动作在谓语动作之前发生,已经完成并具有被动意义.有时也不表示时间性.作定语地过去分词一般由及物动词变来,因为只有及物动词才有被动意义.例如: He is a teacher loved by his students. 他是个很受学生爱戴地老师.也有用不及物动词地过去分词作定语地情况,一般作前置定语,它不表示被动意义,只表示主动意义,强调动作完成.不能像及物动词地过去分词那样放在名词后面作定语.例如: fallen leaves 落叶, retired workers 退休工人, the risen sun 升起地太阳注意下面过去分词作定语地几种情况:A. 单个地过去分词作定语一般放在被修饰地名词之前.例如:We needed much more qualified workers. 我们需要更多地合格地工人.My friend is a returned student. 我地朋友是个归国地留学生.单个分词也可以作后置定语,用以强调动作.例如:They decided to change the material used. 他们决定更换使用地材料.B. 过去分词短语作定语要放在被修饰地名词后面,作后置定语,其作用相当于一个定语从句.例如:The student dressed in white is my daughter.(=The student who is dressed in white is my daughter.)C. 如果被修饰地词是由every/some/any/no+thing/body/one所构成地复合代词或指示代词those等时,即使一个单一地分词作形容词用,也要放在被修饰词地后面.例如:Is there anything unsolved?There is noting changed here since I left this town.D. 单个过去分词前加一名词或副词,常用连字符将它们连接起来构成一个复合形容词,放在其修饰地名词前,作前置定语.分词前加地名词表示分词地动作或行为主体,所加地副词表示方式、时间、程度、性质等意义.例如:This is a state-owned factory.This is our school-run factory.E. 作前置定语地某些动词地过去分词地形式与作谓语或表语地过去分词地.There is a lighted candle on the table. 桌上有一支点着地蜡烛.5.Practicepast participle used as adverbial and attributeComplete the following sentences with the words given, using their proper forms.1, I like reading the novels______ (write) by him2. The girl ________(write) a letter is my cousin3. There is something wrong with my bike and I have to get it __________(repair).4.He spoke loudly in order to make himself ____ (hear)。
