Our school English newspaper is excited to announce the upcoming writing competition ______________________________________.
themed “Hand in Hand, Save the Food”
此句中的chosen为过去分词作后置定语,相当于定语从句who/that were chosen。
(1)单个的过去分词作定语往往置于被修饰的名词前面;过去分词短语作定语常置于被修饰的名词后面。及物动词的过去分词形式表示被动和完成意义;不及物动词的过去分词形式仅仅表示完成;
(2)有时为了强调还可将单一的分词置于被修饰的名词之后。
2.upon doing...

doing something you really want to do.” __________________ he was inspired and he moved up to the starting line,wearing a hopeful smile.
It is a pity/shame that
It is a fact that
It seemed that
当句子的主语是动词不定式、动词-ing形式或从句时,为了保持句子的平衡,常常使用it作形式主语,将真正的主语放在句子的后面。it作形式主语的常用句式:
(1)It be+adj./n.+for sb. to do sth.
(2)It be+过去分词(said,thought,believed,supposed,reported...)+that从句
(3)It be+形容词(strange,important,vital,obvious,possible...)+that从句

Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体).
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut.Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908.Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music.She also developed an interest in science.
She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921.Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany,the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University.She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923.McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell.She completed a master's degree in 1925.Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate.
McClintock stayed at Cornell University after she completed her education.She taught students botany.The 1930s was not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States.The country was in the middle of the Great Depression.Millions of Americans were unemployed.Male scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in demand.
An old friend from Cornell,Marcus Morton Rhoades,invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory.It was a research centre on Long Island, near New York City.McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department.A short time later, she accepted a permanent position in the laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s, her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research.McClintock won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.
