独立主格结构详解由于独立主格结构特殊的构成及复杂的文法意义,使其成为各个学习阶段的重点与难点。
独立主格结构独立于主句之外,由一个名词或代词充当逻辑主语,后加一个非限定动词或非动词形式作逻辑谓语而构成,意义上相当于一个从句,通常在句中作状语,表示时间、条件、原因、方式及伴随等多种修饰关系,却与主句之间不使用任何连词。
为了便于读者对该结构进行全面的掌握,本文试从其构成、用法、意义及特殊结构等方面进行讲解。
一、独立主格结构的构成1.名词(代词)+现在分词She stood back and looked at him, her face smiling radiantly.她站在后面,望着他,脸上露出灿烂的笑容。
Night falling, we hurried home.夜幕降临时分,我们就赶快回家了。
2.名词(代词)+过去分词He lay on his back, his hands crossed under his head.他仰卧着,双手叉在一起放在脑袋下面。
His voice drowned by the noise, the speaker had to interrupt his lecture.噪音盖过了演讲者的声音,他不得不中断自己的演讲。
3.名词(代词)+形容词She came into the room, ( her ) ears red with cold.她进屋来,耳朵冻得通红。
The floor wet and slippery, we had to stay outside.地板又湿又滑,我们不得不呆在外面。
注意:在独立结构中,作主语的名词词组有时可以省去限定词。
4.名词(代词)+副词A damaged motorbike lay on the road, the petrol out.一辆损坏了的摩托车躺在路面上,汽油流出来。
The meeting over, we all went home.会议结束后,我们都回家了。

Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?41. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks____.A. can hardly keep the value of your savingsB. will cost much of your savingsC. may increase your wealthD. needs your bravery42. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to____.A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockB.describe why clocks can rule the planet EarthC. tell readers what clocks look likeD. compare clocks to human beings43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?A. Counting the beating of one's own heart.B. Making use of candles, sand and water.C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.44. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means ________.A. state-owned housesB. houses in very good conditionC. grand houses open to the publicD. houses where statesmen meet regularly45. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to introduce the culture of antique clocksB. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocksC. to compare different ways to make a future profitD. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling timeBDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? Thecollection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.46. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to ourA. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship47. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to______.A. lyingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising48. The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" (in para. 5) means_______.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item49. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?A. We'll be very excited.B. We'll feel unfortunate.C. We'll have a sense of honor.D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through Honorable ActionsCMalaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can't) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.51. According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because___.A. they are too poorB. it is unusual to seek careC. they can remain unaffected for longD. there are too many people suffering from the disease52. People suffering from malaria___.A. have to kill female mosquitoesB. have ability to defend parasitesC. have their red blood cells infectedD. have sudden fever, followed by chills53. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?A. Its resistance to global warming.B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.54. It can be inferred from the passage that___.A. no drugs have been found to treat the diseaseB. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most peopleC. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasitesD. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease55.

立志英语文章Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old,making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.While I was growing up,we lived a very hard life.We had little money,but my mom gave me a lot of love.Each night,she seated me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life,"Kemmons,you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."At fourteen,I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again.Every day,my mother spoke to me in her gentle,loving voice,telling me that no matter what those doctors said,I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough.She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.A year later,I returned to school-walking on my own!When the Great Depression hit,my mom lost her job.Then I left school to support the both of us.At that moment,I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years,I experienced various levels of business success.But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.I was dissatisfied with the second?class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child.That was too expensive for the average American family.I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children.There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly,mom was one of my strongest supporters.She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style.As in any business,we experienced a lot of challenges.But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul,I never doubted we would succeed.Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn.In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself,nothing can stop you.45.According to the author,who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?A.Doctors.
