31、现在分词、名词、形容词或介词短语。The boy fell asleep while(he was)doing his homework.那个男孩子在做作业时睡着了。3)用作连词,引导条件状语从句,意为“只要”,其意思和用法相当于 as long as。while 可位于句首,也可位于句中。如:You dont have to worry while we are here.只要我们在,你就别着急。4)连词,引导并列句,表示前后对比。如:Some people waste food while others dont have enough.有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。【运用提升】.阅

33、h。考查状语从句(从属连词的选用)。题干前半句的含义是:网络有很大的帮助;后半句的含义是:我认为花太多的时间在上面没有好处。根据题干含义,显然需要一个表转折或让步的词,即 while/though/although,尽管。.中译英。1.我们俩之间的误会得从上星期天的球赛说起,当时他认为我没有尽力而为。_2.你能帮我把这封信交给吉姆吗?当然。但今天我没有空,明天好吗?_【答案】1.As for the misunderstanding between us,it all began last Sunday when we had a match and he believed that I di

103、电话。这类故事是真实发生在我们生活当中的,而且越来越普遍。【答案与解析】43.was eating。考查时态。他正在家吃东西,这时突然接到来自医院的奇怪电话,主句用过去进行时,be doing sth.when.正在做某事时,这时,故填was eating。44.who/that。考查强调句。It was被强调部分that/who其他,是强调句型,故填 who/that。45.listening。考查非谓语动词。find sb.doing sth.发现某人正在做某事。46.suddenly。考查副词。修饰动词 realized 用副词 suddenly。47.an。考查不定冠词。需要紧急手术,
104、operation是可数名词,前面 immediate 是元音音素开头,故填an。48.on。考查固定搭配。operate on sb.给某人动手术。故填 on。49.asked。考查时间状语从句的省略。其完整形式为 When the caller was asked from.。50.dishonest。考查形容词的含义。honest 诚实的;dishonest 不诚实的;欺诈的。这里指骗子的欺诈行为,故填 dishonest。51.them。考查代词的使用。这里指代的是 such tricks,故填 them,作介词 to 的宾语。52.colleagues。考查名词复数。他办公室的同事都
105、可以证明,同事不止一人,所以要用复数。故填colleagues。六、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改 10 处,多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor,Mr.Yang.He and

110、e is sure life will be better in the future.第一处错误:visit 是及物动词,后直接加宾语,不用加介词。故去掉 to。第二处错误:used to do“过去常常”,be used to doing“习惯于做”,此处为前者。故把 living改为 live。第三处错误:考查从句引导词。此处为同位语从句,the old building,along with many other similar ones,were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street 是 order 的同位语,要
111、用 that 引导,不用which,故把 which 改为 that。第四处错误:考查主谓一致。主语为 the old building,along with many other similar ones,是附加成分,按照主谓一致原则,主语是单数,动词也用单数,故把 were 改为 was。第五处错误:考查代词。文章以第一人称叙述,句意:因此我们不得不搬走。故把 they 改为 we。第六处错误:考查形容词比较级。根据 than 和much 判断形容词用比较级,故把 big 改为 bigger。第七处错误:考查时态。主句中谓语是现在时,表语从句也要用现在时,表示事实,故把 took 改为ta
112、kes。第八处错误:考查副词。therefore 因此,上句是:唯一的问题是他家离市中心太远,下句是:他似乎并不担心距离远,两句意思是转折关系,故把 Therefore改为 However。第九处错误:考查冠词。line 是可数名词,此处指一条线路,故在 new subway 前加 a。第十处错误:考查名词单复数。a few 几个,修饰可数名词复数,a few years 几年。故把 year 改为 years。七、书面表达假设你叫李华,昨天收到了笔友 David 的 e-mail,得知他不久后要来黄州,他想了解如何学好中文。请你用英文给他回复一封 e-mail,介绍学习中文的体会和方法,并提
