首先了解现在分词和过去分词的基本意义:现在分词表示主动,进行。过去分词表示被动或完成,要了解分词,可以做哪几种状语,同时了解分词做状语和状语从句之间的关系。一般来讲分词可以做时间,原因,条件,结果,让步,伴随等状语,而且分词做状语一般可相当于状语从句。注意:含有分词句子其逻辑主语与句子主语一致。(独立主格除外,其分词的逻辑主语同句子的主语不一致,应带上)

一、 分词作时间状语:相当于一个时间状语从句

分词做时间状语一般位于句首,如带有while,when,until,once等词即可放于句首,也可位于句尾,此时时间意义更明确。

1. Hearing the news,they were very excited.

=When they heard the news,they were very excited.

2.I learned a lot while staying in the countryside.

=I learned a lot while I was staying in the countryside.

3.Water doesn't boil until heated to 100℃.

=Water doesnt,boil until it (water) is heated to 100℃

1.When_____help, one oftens says “Thank you”or “It is kind of you”(2005福建 A.offeringB.to offerC.to be offered ( D).offered

分析:原句可以变为:when one is offered help, one oftens says....

分词的逻辑主语和后面的句子主语one一致,而且和offer 之间是被动关系,所以选D。

2.When_____different cultures,we often pay attention to the differences without noticing the many similarities.(2006浙江).

A.comparedB.being compared C.comparingD.having compared

分析:主语是we,分词的逻辑主语是we,而且和compare之间是主动关系,所以应使用comparing。答案是C

二、 分词做原因状语:相当于原因状语从句

例如:1.Being ill,he wouldn't come to school today.

=As he was ill, he wouldn,t come to school today

2. Moved by Leifeng's examples, they did a lot of good deeds.

=As they were moved by Leifeng's examples, they did a lot of good deeds.

2._________ by a greater demand for vegetables, farmer have built more green houses.(2007浙江)

A.DrivenB.Being drivenC.To drive D.Having driven

分析:原句可变为As farmers are driven by a greater demand for vegetables, farmer have built more green houses.从句主语为farmers,而且和drive之间构成被动关系。所以答案为A。

三、 分词做条件状语:相当于一个条件的状语从句

分词做条件状语一般置于句首,前面若带有if或unless也可置于句尾,此时条件更明确。

例如:1.Having time, I'll come and help you.

=If I have time , I'll come and help you.

2.You will never make progress unless studying hard.

=You will never make progress unless you study hard.

B. if dealt not carefully withD.not if carefully dealt with

分析:原句可变为:If the situation is not carefully dealt with ,the situation will get worse.去掉从句主谓部分得出答案B。

四、 分词做结果状语:相当于结果状语从句

一般位于句尾,有时可带only或thus,在功能上相当于so that 引导的结果状语从句。

例如:1。His wife died ,leaving him with three children.

=His wife died,so that she left him with three children.

2.He hit a parked car, thus breaking one of his legs.

=He hit a parked car, so that he broke one of his legs.

A.to letB.lettingC.letD.having let

分析:分词的逻辑主语是The glass doors与let构成主动的关系用letting.原句可变为The glass doors have taken the place of the wooden ones at the entrance , so that the glass doors let in the natural light during the day.所以答案是B.

五、 分词做让步状语:相当于让步状语从句

分词做让步状语一般位于句首,前面如带有连词whether 或though置于句首,句尾都可。

例如:1.Being ill,he still came to class.

=Though he was ill ,he still came to class.

2.Whether supported or not,I’ll go on with it.

=Whether( I,m )supported or not,I’ll go on with it.

分析:原句变为Though I had said that she didn,t do a good job.I don,t think I am abler than her.Say这个动作发生在另一个动作之前所以用having done形式,答案为B.

六、 分词做伴随状语

大多位于句尾,表示其动作或情况与谓语表示的动作同时发生,功能上相当于一个并列句或并列谓语。

(上接第74页)例如:1.she stood there waiting for the bus.

=she stood there and waited for the bus.

2.The teacher went out of the classroom,followed by his students.

=The teacher went out of the classroom, (and was) followed by his students.
