句型梳理
1【教材原句】
Prepared with some research findings，I decided on three possible approaches...(P20)
有一些研究发现作准备，我决定了三种可能的方法……
【句法分析】 Prepared with some research findings为过去分词短语作状语，相当于谓语动词为被动的状语从句，该动作和主句的主语之间存在着逻辑上的动宾关系。
①(2009年高考福建卷)Reminded not to miss the flight at 15∶20，the manager set out for the airport in a hurry.
被提醒不要错过15∶20 的航班，经理匆忙去了飞机场。
②Given more time，he can do it better.
如果给予他更多的时间，他会把它做得更好。
③Seen from the top of the hill，the park looks more beautiful.
＝When it is seen from the top of the hill，the park looks more beautiful.
从山顶往下看，这座公园看起来更加漂亮。
④Encouraged by the progress he has made，he works harder.
＝As he is encouraged by the progress he has made，he works harder.
由于受到所取得进步的鼓舞，他工作更努力了。
11．(2009年高考北京卷)________twice，the postman refused to deliver our letters unless we chained our dog.
A．Being bitten B．Bitten
C．Having bitten D．To be bitten
解析：选B。句意：因为两次被咬，邮递员拒绝给我们投递信件，除非我们拴住我们的狗。过去分词作原因状语。主句主语the postman与bite构成被动关系，排除C项；D项为动词不定式作目的状语表示还未发生；A项表进行；B项表示之前两次被咬，故选B。
[即境活用]
2【教材原句】 Follow it up，explore all around it，and before you know it，you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind.(P25)
跟随它，在它的周围探索，那么在你知道它之前，你将有值得考虑的某些东西占用你的大脑。
【句法分析】 本题考查“祈使句＋and/then/or/＋陈述句”结构的用法。
①Work harder and/then you will succeed in your studies.
＝If you work harder，you’ll succeed in your studies.
＝Working harder，you will succeed in your studies.
如果你更加努力学习，在学习上你就会成功。
②Study hard，or you’ll fail in your exams.
＝If you don’t study hard，you’ll fail in your exams.
＝You will fail in your exams unless you study hard.
如果你不刻苦学习，你就会考不及格。
[即境活用]
12．(2011年湖南师大附中检测)?Mum，I am afraid I won’t do well in the coming test.
?Honey，________more careful，________you will make it。
A．is；so B．be；and
C．be；then D．being；and
解析：选B。句意：??妈妈，我恐怕考不好了。??宝贝，再仔细些，你就会考好的。“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”相当于由if 引导的主从复合句。此句可变为：If you are more careful，you will make it.。
13．One more day，________I’ll get everything ready.
A．or B．while
C．and D．but
解析：选C。考查特殊句式。此句是“祈使句＋and＋简单句”句型，相当于“If I have one more day，I’ll get everything ready.”。
14．(2011年江南十校测试)?Can you help me?
?Yes.________your teacher’s advice，in my opinion，and everything will be OK.
A．Follow B．Following
C．To follow D．Followed
解析：选A。此题考查句型“祈使句＋and＋一般陈述句”，in my opinion在句中作插入语。
作文指导
图画类作文
【体裁导航】
图画类的材料直观、形象、生动，具有很大的自由发挥空间，所以，近几年一直是高考英语写作题的考查形式。
图画类材料的图片可能是一幅或几幅，也可能以漫画形式出现；其写作体裁更不固定，可以记叙，可以说明，也可以议论。但无论是何种形式，何种体裁，其写作的过程及要求基本相同。
1．认真观察图片所表达的内容或内涵，分清图与图之间的关系，甚至要考虑到图片表达的是何时、何地、什么人、什么事、过程和结果等。
2．考虑用什么样的体裁来写(记叙、说明、议论都有可能)，从而确定你的写作模式。是日记、通知，要注意其格式；是书信、Email，要注意其特定的要求或组成部分；是议论，则要把握好论点的设立，论据的选择和论证的拓展等。
3．文章的过渡词、过渡段在图画类的书面表达中起着关键的“润滑”作用，可见，如何串点成文，整体划一，关联词必不可少。
4．如何开头才能做到“先声夺人”，怎样结尾才能令人“回味无穷”，也是要通盘考虑的问题。
【写作示例】
请仔细观察以下五幅图，根据图中信息用英语写一篇有关第三中学优秀学生方芳的短文。
要求：1.要点齐全，适当增加细节；
2.条理清晰，行文连贯；
3.词数：150左右。
【写作要领】
本篇书面表达属于看图说话类。写作时，首先看清要求，认真审题，确定文体、人称和时态。这是一篇故事性的记叙文，主体时态应为一般过去时，应用第三人称来写。
其次，通过对五幅图的认真观察，得出故事的主要情节：一天夜里，风刮得很大。方芳凌晨两点钟起床，赶到学校，把窗户关好后回家。
然后仔细观察每一幅图，注意图画之间的内在联系，不放过每一处细节，如图画中钟表的时间为两点钟。
最后，根据以上的观察和分析，开始用英文进行写作。写作时注意不但要把每一幅图的信息表达出来，还要注意图画之间的衔接，注意使用必要的连接词并照顾到首尾呼应。

第一幅和第二幅图(两幅图可根据需要放在一起进行描述)
One night，at about 2 o’clock，it began to blow outside./It was at 2 o’clock in the early morning that it began to blow.

⑤On the way，the strong wind made it difficult for her to go forward.In spite of this，she ran as fast as possible and finally managed to get to the school before the rain came.⑥She hurried to her classroom，turned on the lights，and found that some of the windows were open.⑦She made great efforts to shut up all the windows one by one，fighting against the heavy wind.⑧After making sure that all the windows were properly closed，she turned off the lights and left the classroom.Hardly had she got home when the rain started to pour down.⑨Tired and sleepy as she was，she felt happy about the meaningful thing she had done.
【点评】

②现在分词作定语修饰the wind，更加生动形象；用定语从句强调风大。
③使用并列复合句，使文章句式更加多样化。
④介词短语用得恰到好处；一系列谓语动词的并列使用展现出她当时急切的心情和迅速的动作。
⑤it作形式宾语。
⑥三个并列谓语表明动作的连贯与迅速，符合她当时的心情。
⑦短语make efforts to do 的使用非常贴切；现在分词作伴随状语，突出她当时关窗的难度之大。
⑧准确地应用了hardly...when...句式。
⑨使用as引导的倒装句式，使文章句式丰富。
