现在分词(动词ing形式)作状语
一、概念
现在分词作状语时,表示的动作是主语动作的一部分,用来修饰谓语,常表示动作发生的时间、原因、条件、结果、方式、伴随、让步等情况,并可以转换成相应的状语从句或并列句。
二、规则
动词
形式
意义
以do为例
一般式
(not)
doing
主动式
(not)doing
与句子主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,与谓语动作同时发生,或基本上同时发生
被动式
(not)being done
与句子主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且与谓语动作同时发生
完成式
(not)
having
done
主动式(not)
having done
与句子主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系,先于谓语动作发生
被动式(not)
Having been
done
与句子主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,且先于谓语动作发生
(一)现在分词作状语的用法
现在分词(短语)在句中作状语来修饰谓语动词或整个句子,表示动作发生的时间、原因、条件、结果、方式、让步或伴随状况。
1.作时间状语
现在分词作时间状语时,常放在句首,相当于一个时间状语从句。
*Hearing the noise, I turned round.
=When I heard the noise, I turned round.
听到响声我转过身去。
2.作原因状语
现在分词作原因状语时,相当于一个原因状语从句,也可以放在句首。
*Having lived in the village for years, I know everyone quite well.
=Because I have lived in the village for years, I know everyone quite well.
因为在这个村里住了很多年,所以我熟悉每个人。
3.作条件状语
现在分词作条件状语时,相当于一个if引导的条件状语从句。
*Working hard, you'll certainly succeed.
=If you work hard, you'll certainly succeed.
只要努力学习,你肯定会成功的。
4.作结果状语
现在分词作结果状语时,通常放在句末,中间用逗号隔开,表示自然而然、意料之中的结果,分词前可接thus。
*More highways have been built in China, making it much easier for people to travel from one place to another.
中国建了很多高速公路,这使人们从一个地方到另一个地方变得更容易了。
◆[微点拨]
现在分词作结果状语,是随着谓语动词的发生而产生的自然结果,其逻辑主语往往是前面整个句子所描述的情况,前面有时候可以加thus。而不定式作结果状语常表示出乎意料的结果,有时候前面可以加only。
5.作让步、方式和伴随状语
现在分词作让步、方式和伴随状语时,说明动作发生的背景和情况。作伴随状语时,表示分词的动作和主句的动作同时发生,此时它可转换成并列句。
*Mary sat by the window of the classroom, reading a book.
=Mary sat by the window of the classroom and read a book.
玛丽坐在教室的窗边读一本书。
(二)现在分词作状语的注意事项
1.现在分词的时态
现在分词作状语时,要注意分词的时态,是用现在分词的一般式(doing),还是用完成式(having done)。
当现在分词的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生时,用分词的一般式;当现在分词的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前时,用分词的完成式。
*Walking in the street, I met an old friend of mine.
我正在大街上行走时,遇到了一位老朋友。(walking和谓语动词met同时发生)
*Having finished the letter, he went to post it.
他写完信后就把它寄了出去。(having finished 是先发生的,went是后发生的)
2.现在分词的语态
使用现在分词的主动式还是被动式,这主要取决于现在分词和句子主语之间的关系。句子的主语就是分词的逻辑主语。
*Having been shown around the factory, they were very happy.
被领着参观了工厂后,他们很高兴。(现在分词的被动式)
*Having finished his homework, he went to bed.
完成了作业后,他上床睡觉。(现在分词的主动式)
3.现在分词作状语时,其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致,必须用独立主格结构来表示,也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
*My wife had a long talk with Sally, explaining why she didn't want the children to play together.
我妻子与莎莉谈了很多时间,解释她为什么不想让孩子们在一起玩。(explaining是句子主语My wife做出的动作,它们之间是主动关系,即explaining的逻辑主语就是句子的主语My wife。)
*The train having gone, we had to wait another day.
火车已经离开了,我们只好再等一天。
(The train having gone为独立主格结构)
4.现在分词的否定式是在分词短语前面加上not, never等否定词。
*Not knowing how to find the subway, I asked a policeman for help.
我不知道怎样找到地铁,就去找警察帮忙。
5.现在分词作评注性状语
有些现在分词在句中没有逻辑主语,它们往往作为句子的评注性状语来修饰整个句子,表明说话者的态度、观点等。如:generally speaking一般来说,judging by/from从……判断,speaking of说到……,talking of谈到……,frankly speaking坦白地说,considering.../taking... into consideration考虑到……,providing...如果……,supposing...假如……等。
*Judging from his behaviour, he must be mad.
从他的行为来判断,他一定是疯了。
*Taking the weather into consideration, we put off the sports meeting.
考虑到天气情况,我们推迟了运动会。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
It is no surprise that within many education systems,wealthier students often test better than poorer students,which education experts often called the “achievement gap”.Sean Reardon,a professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University in California,found that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a small amount.
One way to reduce the gap is to offer prekindergarten programs to all 3and 4yearold kids.Such classes are already being offered in some areas around the United States,including the U.S. capital,Washington,D.C.These programs offer hope for many youngsters.It is more than learning the ABCs or counting to 100. Kids have the chance to learn how to listen,develop social skills,and interact with others.
Vincent Gray,a former mayor of the District of Columbia,says,“We've always had some form of early childhood care in the District of Columbia for decades.But what we didn't have was universal access.And I did the legislation(立法)in 2009 as Chairman of the Council to get it done.And then when I became the mayor,it gave me an incredible opportunity to be able to fully implement (执行)the legislation.”
Gray also explains “Today,most of Washington's youngest children are in school.The preK programs are not a requirement in the city.But almost no parent at this stage is saying‘I don't want my child in school.’They want them in school because there's not a cost associated with it,other than the cost of them not having the opportunity to learn.”
Generally,wealthier parents have more financial resources to help their children.Educated parents,wealthy or not,might take their children to participate in certain activities instead of attending school at an early age.For example,they may take their children to free events at a public library or recreation (消遣)center.Washington,D.C.also has many free museums.
[语篇解读] 在很多的教育体制下,富有的学生比贫穷的学生在测试中做得更好,这就是教育专家所说的“成就差距”,有研究发现在美国这一差距在缩短,那就是学前班课程以及政客Vincent Gray等努力的结果。
1.What is finding of Sean Reardon?
A.People have narrowed the achievement gap slightly.
B.People have learnt the meaning of achievement gap fully.
C.People have tried to get rid of the achievement gap gradually.
D.People have known how to reduce the achievement gap greatly.
解析:A [细节理解题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“...found that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a small amount.”可知,这与选项A的“narrowed the achievement gap slightly”表达的意思相一致。]
2.The author used the example of Vincent Gray to show ________ .
A.he had accounted for the prekindergarten classes in detail
B.he had made good preparations for prekindergarten classes
C.he has helped develop prekindergarten classes for a long time
D.he had devoted himself to educating prekindergarten classes
解析:C [写作意图题。根据文章第三段Vincent Gray提到关注儿童早期的照料有好几十年了,但没有普及,于是他担任议长时提出这个立法,随后担任市长时去执行那个立法,由此可知作者引用该例子是说明他多年来致力于推进学前班的课程,所以答案选C项。]
3.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A.The education system reform is popular with the public.
B.The preK programs don't satisfy parents' requirement.
C.Some parents can afford the cost of their kids' education.
D.Most parents pay much attention to their kids' education.
解析:D [推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“But almost no parent at this stage is saying‘I don't want my child in school.’...not having the opportunity to learn.”推断可知,家长们都重视他们小孩的教育,故选项D符合题意。]
4.What do the educated parents do when educating their children?
A.By always encouraging them in their studies.
B.By making good use of the resources they can get.
C.By offering them various outofclass activities.
D.By accompanying and playing with them together.
解析:B [细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“take their children to participate in certain activities”以及下面列举的一些免费的场所可知,这里是说那些家长们懂得利用可得到的资源,所以答案选B项。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Selfesteem(自尊) plays a role in almost everything you do. ____1____ They can have better relationships with peers (同龄人) and adults, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes, disappointments and failures, and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed.

★Have fun. Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and doing the things you love. Relax and have a good time—and avoid putting your life on hold.
