Sentence Patterns

　过去分词(短语)作状语

有数百万人目睹了这场比赛的结局，但对其却是众说纷纭：兄弟二人是应该因他们的行为被取消比赛资格，还是应该被高度赞扬？

句式分析：过去分词(短语)作状语时可以表示让步、条件、方式、原因、时间、伴随，表示方式或伴随时一般可转换为并列分句，其他情况下通常可转换为相应的状语从句。

[例1]　Given twenty more minutes，I'll finish the task better.

　be＋adj.＋动词不定式

(教材原句P33)But for Alistair，his decision was easy to explain：“Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Jonny behind.”

但对阿利斯泰尔来说，他的决定很容易解释：“如果我把约翰尼落下，妈妈是不会高兴的。”

句式分析：该句型是“主语＋be＋adj.＋不定式”结构，其中his decision和及物动词explain构成动宾关系。在该句型中常常使用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。常用于该句型的形容词多为表示主语性质、特征的词，如easy，hard，difficult，interesting，comfortable等。

[例1]　This second­hand machine is very hard to start.

这台二手的机器启动起来有点费劲。

词义猜测题

词义猜测题可以是对一个单词的意义的推断，也可以是对一个短语或句子的意义的推断；既可以考查生词的意义，也可以考查熟词的新意，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。要做好词义猜测题，必须熟练掌握《考试大纲》规定的词汇，在平时的训练中还要注意积累生词和短语，掌握构词法的基本知识，对于各种前、后缀的变化形式了然于心。还要学会根据上下文语意进行合理推测。

[例题剖析]

(2020·全国卷Ⅰ·B·节选)

While I tend to buy a lot of books，these three were given to me as gifts，which might add to the meaning I attach to them.But I imagine that，while money is indeed wonderful and necessary，rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.But remember，it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.

26．What does the underlined word “currency” in the paragraph refer to?

A．Debt.　 B．Reward.

C．Allowance.     D．Face value.

B　[词义猜测题。根据本段落中“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary，(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)”可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”意为“但是重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报”，由此判断出划线词的意思是“回报”。故选B项。]
