3、xed是过去分词形式，用作前置定语。过去分词（短语）作定语（1）过去分词（短语）作定语时，其语法功能相当于一个定语从句，被修饰的词是分词所表示的行为对象，在逻辑上，它们是动宾关系。The building built last year is for our teachers. = The building which was built last year is for our teachers.去年建的那栋楼是为我们的老师们建的。（2）单个的过去分词作定语时，通常置于被修饰的名词之前，有时也可以置于名词之后。The whole family live in a newly-built ho
4、use.全家人住在一所新建的房子里。（3）过去分词短语作定语时，通常置于被修饰的名词之后。The book written by a peasant has become the focus of attention recently.由一个农民写的这本书近来成为人们关注的焦点。（4）不及物动词的过去分词作定语时不表示被动，只表示完成意义。You can see fallen leaves everywhere in autumn.在秋天你到处都可以看到落叶。（5）现在分词（短语）与过去分词（短语）作定语的区别 现在分词（短语）作定语，表示正在进行的动作，变为从句时常用进行时态。若表示经常性的
5、动作或现在的状态，变为从句时则用一般时态。The house standing ( = that stands) at the corner of the street was built in 1982.在街道拐角处的房子建于1982年。 过去分词（短语）作定语，表示动作是在谓语表示的动作之前发生，或动作没有一定的时间性。Is this the book recommended by your teacher?这是你老师推荐的书吗？2.（教材P18）I look forward to hearing all about whats happening with you soon.我盼望不久就
6、能听到关于你的一切。about后面接的是宾语从句，引导词what作从句的主语。介词后的宾语从句（1）what, which, whom等连接词引导的宾语从句可放在介词后面。Compared with the escaped driver, I am proud of what I did. 与逃跑的司机相比，我为我所做的事情自豪。（2）介词后不能直接跟that引导的宾语从句，需要用it作介词的形式宾语，再接that引导的宾语从句。You can depend on it that he will come to aid you.你可以指望他会过来帮你。（3）介词后可接whether引导的宾语从
7、句，但不接由if引导的宾语从句。It depends on whether you are a listener, a looker or a doer.这取决于你是一个倾听者、旁观者还是实干者。写作天地电子邮件电子邮件（email）与一般的信件一样，也包括信头、正文和结尾部分。它具有阅读方便、传递快捷以及内容比较简短的特点。1. 必须在“收件人（To）”框中输入收件人的email地址，如Toml998。“主题（Subject)”框最好不要空着，它应是邮件内容的简明概括，可以是一个单词、一个短语，也可以是一个完整的句子。2. email正文前的称呼。在同辈的亲朋好友或同事间可直呼其名，如Tom
8、my，但对长辈或上级最好使用头衔加上姓氏，如Prof. Smith。写电子邮件要直接，并多用短句，使意思清楚。当然，对重点部分要进行详细介绍。太长的内容可以以附件的形式发出。3. 视邮件正式与否选择合适的结尾。与书面信函不同的是，email的结尾可不署名，尤其是给朋友、同学等熟人的email；同时无须写出时间；邮件末尾的客套话通常也只需要一两个词，如Thanks, Best wishes等。在书面表达中，电子邮件的开头和结尾一般会给出，这在某种程度上降低了难度，考生只需写好正文部分，展现出自己的语言水平就可以了。写好电子邮件还需注意以下几点：1. 要准确使用人称和时态。书面表达对人称、时态的准
9、确使用有严格的要求。人称和时态的误用是电子邮件类书面表达中最为常见的错误。避免此类错误是提高写作水平的基础。2. 要点要全面，句式运用要灵活。理顺要点，防止漏写、乱写以保证内容的完整性和准确性，然后按照理顺的要点用出彩的短语或句型将意思完整地表达出来。此外，语言表达要具有多样性，既要使用简单句，也要使用结构复杂的复合句；措辞要有讲究，既要会使用普通词语，也要能使用高级词汇。3. 注意有效衔接。恰当地使用衔接词，如however, whats more, and, but, first, then等，使文章过渡自然，增强文章的连贯性、流畅性和可读性。写作技巧：1. 话题词汇更喜欢做 prefer
