Ⅰ.異域風情
Weddings in the U.S.
Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do.There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare1;there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted2;and there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests.But many weddings,no matter where or how they are performed,include certain traditional customs.
Before a couple is married,they become engaged.And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby,their close friends and their relatives who live far away.When everything is ready,then comes the most exciting moment.
The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played.The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will “give her away”.The groom enters the church from a side door.When the wedding party is gathered by the altar3,the bride and groom exchange vows.It is traditional to use the words “To have and to hold from this day forward,for better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness and in health,to love and to cherish,till death do us part”.Following the vows,the couple exchange rings.Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.After the ceremony4 there is often a party,called a “reception” which gives the wedding guests a chance to congratulate the newlyweds.
The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated5 with balloons,streamers and shaving cream.The words “Just Married” are painted on the trunk or back window.The bride and groom run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests.When the couple drives away from the church,friends often chase them in cars,honking6 and drawing attention to them.And then the couple go on their honeymoon.

Ⅱ.知識歸納
1.淺析非謂語動詞的被動式結(jié)構(gòu)
非謂語動詞的邏輯主語是該非謂語動詞動作的承受者時，一般要用非謂語動詞的被動式。如何在句中使用這些被動式呢？現(xiàn)分述如下：
（1）動詞不定式的被動式
①用作句子的真正主語。如：
It is an honour for me to be asked to speak here.
我很榮幸應(yīng)邀在這里講話。
It is necessary for us to be constantly reminded of our shortcomings.
經(jīng)常有人提醒我們自身的缺點是有必要的。
②用作某些動詞的賓語。如：
He asked to be sent to work in Tibet.
他請求派他到西藏去工作。
He hated to be flattered.
他討厭別人對他阿諛奉承。
③用作表語。如：
What I want is to be left alone.
我只想一個人呆在這里。
The question is what is to be done next.
問題是下一步該干什么。
④用作賓語補足語。如：
He wanted the paper to be typed at once.
他要求立刻把文件打出來。
They didn’t expect the book to be so well received.
他們沒有想到這本書受到讀者如此的厚愛。
⑤用作主語補足語。如：

這些書不許帶出閱覽室。
The date is expected to be announced before long.
估計具體日期不久就會公布于眾的。
⑥用作名詞的后置定語。如：

你打算去參加大使館的宴會嗎？
It will be the first such project to be designed by Chinese engineers.
這將是中國工程師設(shè)計的第一項這種類型的工程。

孩子們將去醫(yī)院打預(yù)防針。
She was not old enough to be given such heavy work.
她年齡還小，不宜讓她干這么重的活。
有時可用不定式的完成被動式，表示當時已經(jīng)完成的被動動作。這樣的被動式可在句中充當上面所述的各種語法成分。如：
It was a good thing for him to have been criticized.
他受到批評是件好事。（to have been criticized作真正的主語）
（2）動名詞的被動式
①用作句子的主語。如：
His being neglected by the host added to his uneasiness.
主人對他的冷漠使他更加不舒服。
So being killed by sharks was a common occurrence.

He didn’t mind being left at home.
他并不介意把他留在家里。
She couldn’t bear being made fun of like that.
她不能容忍別人如此嘲笑她。
We congratulated him on his being admitted to the Party.
我們祝賀他入黨了。
They insisted on their being treated as ordinary workers.
他們堅持要大家把他們當作普通工人看待。
如果要表示已經(jīng)發(fā)生的被動動作，則應(yīng)使用動名詞的完成被動式。如：
I don’t remember having ever been given a chance to try this method.
我不記得誰曾給過我試驗這種方法的機會。
(3)現(xiàn)在分詞的被動式
①用作名詞的后置定語，表示當時正在進行的被動動作。如：
The building being repaired is our library.
現(xiàn)在正在修維的那座樓房是我們的圖書館。
This is one of the experiments being carried out in our laboratory.
這是我們實驗室里正在進行的實驗之一。
②用作賓語補足語，表示當時正在進行的被動動作。如：
You’ll find the topic being discussed everywhere.
你會發(fā)現(xiàn)到處都在議論這個話題。
As we approached the village,we saw new houses being built.
走近村子時，我們看到那里正在蓋新房。
③構(gòu)成獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)作狀語。如：
The key having been lost,she couldn’t enter her room.
由于把鑰匙丟了，所以她進不了屋。（The key having been lost作原因狀語）
The decision having been made,the next problem was how to make a good plan.
決定作出后，下一個問題就是如何制定一個好計劃。（The decision having been made作時間狀語）

(1)live on表示“靠……為生/過活”時，介詞on的賓語一般是維持生命的主要食物和主要經(jīng)濟來源，也能接人，但表示的是“靠某人的錢生活”之意。如：

她仍靠她父母的工資生活。

3.表示靠某種職業(yè)或工作為生時，常可用make a living by doing sth.或live by doing
sth.。如：
She makes a living by teaching.(=She lives by teaching.)她靠教書為生。
2.insist on,stick to,keep on,persist in
(1)insist on意思是“demand or maintain persistently”,“堅決要求，堅持認為”，是對要求、看法、意見或主張的“堅持”�！皁n”是介詞，后面接名詞或動名詞作賓語。如：

她在會上堅持自己的意見。

(2)“stick to”的意思是“persist in,not abandon”,是對“愿望、原則、決定、諾言、意見、理想或某種理論”的堅持不渝�！皌o”是介詞，接名詞或動名詞作賓語，不能接不定
式。如：

4.aim at,aim for
二者的后面均可接名詞、代詞或動名詞，都表示“目的是、旨在”的意義，一般可以換用。不同的是，aim at含“瞄準、對準”的意義，后既可跟表示目的的名詞，又可跟射擊的目標。
be aimed at是aim at的被動語態(tài)。aim for強調(diào)最終目的�？傊�，at強調(diào)“目標”，for強調(diào)最終目的。如：

Ⅳ.能力訓(xùn)練
1.單句改錯
(1)How have you done with the letter?
答案：應(yīng)將done改為dealt或?qū)ow改為What。因為習慣上how常與deal with連用，what常與do with連用。
(2)These girls called out their names in turns.
答案：應(yīng)將turns改為turn。因為in turn是一個固定介詞短語，意思是“依次、逐個地”。
（3）These agreements have an affect on both the buyer and the seller.
答案：應(yīng)將affect改為effect。因為affect是動詞，effect是名詞，在這里，have an effect on意思是“對……有影響，起作用”。
（4）My remarks were not aim at you.
答案：應(yīng)將aim改為aimed。因為be aimed at是一個短語，它的意思是“針對，目的是”。
（5）I’d like the question not to raised again.
答案：應(yīng)在to后加be。因為問題是被提出，它們之間是被動關(guān)系，所以要用被動語態(tài)。
（6）The flight was delayed as the result of fog.
答案：應(yīng)將the改為a。因為as a result of是一個固定短語，它的意思是“由于……的
原因”。
（7）She seems to finish her work.
答案：應(yīng)將finish改為have finished。因為不定式動作是發(fā)生在謂語動詞所表示的動作之前的，所以應(yīng)該用不定式的完成式，即to have done。
2.根據(jù)所給漢語完成下列各句
(1)這些動物已經(jīng)絕種。
These animals have already______ ______.
答案：died out
(2)那天我們打死打傷了大量的敵人。

Ⅴ.高考真題
1.(2004上海春)Victor apologized for______to inform me of the change in the plan.
A.his being not able B.him not to be able
C.his not being able D.him to be not able
簡析：選C。根據(jù)apologize for sth.(或doing sth.)應(yīng)排除B和D；又因v.-ing的用法中，否定詞not應(yīng)放在v.-ing之前，故選C。
2.(2004上海)The first use of atomic weapons was in 1945,and their power______increased enormously ever since.
A.is B.was C.has been D.had been
簡析：選C。本題考查動詞時態(tài)用法。因句中有時間狀語ever since,故應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時。
3.(2004江蘇)The man insisted______a taxi for me even though I told him I lived nearby.
A.find B.to find C.on finding D.in finding
簡析：選C。本題考查動詞短語的用法。insist on是一個動詞短語，on為介詞，所以
選C。
4.(2004浙江)The winter of 1990 was extremely bad.______most people say it was the worst winter of their lives.
A.At last B.In fact C.In a word D.As a result
簡析：選B。at last“最后、終于”；in a word“簡而言之”；as a result“結(jié)果是……”。根據(jù)題意選B，意為“實際上”。
5.(2004湖南)You were silly not______your car.
A.to lock B.to have locked
C.locking D.having hocked
簡析：選B。根據(jù)句意：沒有鎖車，你真是太傻了。鎖車動作發(fā)生在太傻之前，故用不定式的完成式。
6.(2004北京)______in the queue for half an hour,Tom suddenly realized that he had left his wallet at home.
A.To wait B.Have waited
C.Having waited D.To have waited
簡析：選C。本題考查非謂語動詞的用法。作時間狀語應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞；又因“wait”發(fā)生在“realize”之前，應(yīng)用完成式。
7.(2004北京春)
He was in hospital for six months.He felt as if he was______from the outside world.
A.cut out B.cut off C.cut up D.cut through
簡析：選B。cut out“切掉，裁剪出”；cut off“斷絕，使隔絕”；cut up“切碎”；cut through“抄近路，鑿穿”。該句意為：他在醫(yī)院呆了六個月，覺得好像與外界隔絕了似的。可見B為最佳答案。
