18、nternet; now there are around 50 million and this growth is clearly going to continue.1983年,只有 200台计算机联网,如今大约有 5千万台计算机联网,而且很显然这种增长将持续下去。connected to the internet 是一个过去分词短语作定语,修饰 computers,相当于定语从句 which were connected to the internet,在第二个分句中,million 之后承接上一句,省略了 computers.million of 或 a million of 是表示
19、大概的数目,类似用法的词还有 score(二十) ,hundred, thousand, billion等。与不具体的数字连用时,不用复数,且后面不接介词 of.如:During the holiday, tens of hundreds of people enjoy themselves on Quancheng square.假日期间,许多人在泉城广场休闲。Three hundred students attended the meeting yesterday.300名学生出席了昨天的会议。2.

20、rlds computers, cause chaos, and make planes and trains crash.将来,恐怖分子会袭击世界上的电脑,引发混乱,使飞机坠毁,火车相撞。解析:这是一个简单句,主语是 terrorists, may attack, cause 和 make 是三个并列的谓语。crash 作宾语 planes and trains 的补足语,在 make (使)之后作宾语补足语的不定式要省去 to。记忆要诀 巧记后接省去 to 的动词不定式作宾语或宾语补足语的词(组):为什么不听不看(why not, listen to, hear, look at, see
21、, watch, observe, notice) ;宁愿请,最好让(would rather, would you please, had better, let; have, make 表使唤;feel 表示触摸感。 )3.

22、接。反意疑问句中,如果陈述部分是“I (we) (dont) think (believe, suppose, imagine)+宾语从句”时,疑问部分中的主语应与宾语从句中的主语保持一致,如果是否定句,否定意义还是要转移到宾语从句。如:I dont think he is forty, is he ? 4.

23、n.一些专家在虚拟现实里看到了我们的未来,使用带声像的计算机使你觉得你是在真实的情景中。that make you feel as if you are in a real situation 是一个定语从句,修饰sounds and pictures,其中 as if you are in a real situation 是状语从句,修饰和说明动词 feel。5. I see people living and working in a virtual world.我看见人们在虚拟世界生活和工作。living 和 working in a virtual world 是现在分词短语作宾语
24、people 的补足语。现在分词和不定式在作宾语补足语的意义上有些不同,不定式指事情的全过程,目的在于仅仅说明了这件事;现在分词指正在进行的动作的一部分,目的在于将该动作当时进行的情景呈现于读者眼前,相当于进行时态。 I saw him go upstairs.我看见他上楼去了(强调上楼的全过程) 。I saw him going upstairs.我看见他正往楼上去(强调上楼动作的进行) 。【典型例题】综合阅读A school bus is a bus to take you from your house to school and back again.Its also a place
