(2)worthy的結(jié)構(gòu)是:be worthy of sth./be worthy of doing sth./sth.is worthy to be done或sth.is worthy of being done。
(3)worthwhile要與形式主語it并用,構(gòu)成It is/was worthwhile doing/to do sth.,worth也可用于這個(gè)句式中。

【句法分析】 此句為一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句,before引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句,意為“還沒有得及……就……”。

2.【教材原句】 The survivors lay on the beach,exhausted and shocked.(P73)

【句法分析】 exhausted and shocked是形容詞短語作狀語,表示死里逃生的戰(zhàn)士躺在海灘上時(shí)的狀態(tài)。形容詞的這種用法很常見。

12.(2009年高考浙江卷)________ and short of breath,Andy and Ruby were the first to reach the top of ount Tai.
A.To be tired B.Tired
C.Tiring D.Being tired
解析:選B?疾樾稳菰~短語作狀語。此處是形容詞詞組說明主語的狀態(tài),實(shí)際上它是一種省略結(jié)構(gòu),相當(dāng)于“Although Andy and Ruby were tired and short of breath”,故B項(xiàng)正確。
13.After his journey from abroad,Richard Jones returned home,________.
A.exhausting
B.exhausted
C.being exhausted
D.having exhausted
解析:選B。句意是:從國外旅行之后,理查德•瓊斯疲憊不堪地回到了家。exhaust是一個(gè)使役動(dòng)詞,意為“使精疲力盡”。例如:y father is completely exhausted.我父親精疲力竭。
3.【教材原句】 ...he said,“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so fe”(P81)
……他說道,“在人類戰(zhàn)爭史上從沒有一次像這樣,以如此少的兵力取得如此大的成功,保護(hù)如此多的眾生。”
【句法分析】 (1)本句是一個(gè)由否定詞never開頭的倒裝句,否定詞或短語放在句首經(jīng)常構(gòu)成部分倒裝,即把助動(dòng)詞提到主語的前面去。常見的否定詞還有:
nor,neither,no,not,seldom,little,hardly,at no time,in no way,not until,not only...but also,hardly(scarcely)...when,no sooner...than等。
①Not only was everything he had taken away from him but also his German citizenship.不僅他所有的東西都被帶走了,就連他的德國國籍也被取消了。
(2)在反意疑問句的陳述句部分中,如包含seldom,no,nothing,never,hardly,scarcely,little,few等否定副詞,則這部分是否定,簡短問句就應(yīng)用肯定。
②He is seldom ill,is he?他很少生病,是嗎?
③He was hardly twenty then,was he?
他當(dāng)時(shí)幾乎沒有二十歲,是嗎?
【即境活用】
14.(2009年高考陜西卷)Little ________ about her own safety,though she was in great danger herself.
A.did Rose care B.Rose did care
C.Rose does care D.does Rose care
解析:選A。句意:雖然處境很危險(xiǎn),但羅斯幾乎不關(guān)心自己的安全。little是具有否定意義的詞,位于句首時(shí)句子用部分倒裝,由后半句判斷句子是過去時(shí),故選A項(xiàng)。
15.(2009年高考全國卷Ⅰ)The computer was used in teaching.As a result,not only ________,but students became more interested in the lessons.
A.saved was teachers’ energy
B.was teachers’ energy saved
C.teachers’ energy was saved
D.was saved teachers’ energy
解析:選B。句意:計(jì)算機(jī)應(yīng)用于,結(jié)果,不僅教師節(jié)省能量,而且學(xué)生對(duì)程更感興趣。not only...but (also)放在句首作狀語,句子用部分倒裝。not only后的部分倒裝,but also后的部分不倒裝。

7.表示條關(guān)系:if, unless, as long as, so long as, on condition that ...
8.表示概括關(guān)系:in general, in a word, in short, on the whole, to sum up ...

One possible version:
There has been a reversal of the braindrain since 1978 across the country.Between 1978 and 2007, about 7,000 overseas Chinese returned to Shanghai after completing their studies abroad.They accounted for about 25% of all returnees nationwide.The year 2008 has witnessed a boom.The number of returnees came up to 15,000.By the end of 2009, a further 22,000 have returned to this city.
The reversal of the braindrain mainly arises from three facts.Firstly, our government values overseas Chinese scholars highly, encourages them to return home to start their own careers and has worked out a series of preferential policies.In Shanghai, the famous international city, they can enjoy a modern lifestyle.Secondly, China’s economy has been developing at a high speed, which provides them with a vast space of development.
any returnees have achieved outstanding success in scientific research or in highlevel management.They are playing a more and more important role.Thirdly, the current global financial crisis leaves many overseas out of work or at the edge of being laid off.They feel more secure at home because the economy is more stable.
I hope that more overseas Chinese can head home.There is a bright future ahead of them.
