现在分词和过去分词的用法
【知识梳理1】现在分词的四种形式
现在分词除了一般式之外，还有完成式和被动式，以动词do为例，现在分词的四种形式见下表：
doing
having done
1) doing：主动进行
eg. a)I hear someone singing an English song in the next room.
Last night, I heard someone singing an English song in the next room.
b) The man standing on the platform is waving his hand to us.
c) They stood by the roadside, begging.
doing所表示的动作与谓语动词同时发生，与逻辑主语是主动关系。
2) being done：被动进行
eg. The problem being discussed is very important.
The museum being built there will be open to the public next year.
being done所表示的动作与谓语动词同时发生，但与逻辑主语是被动关系。
3) having done：主动／完成
eg. Having done his homework, Tim played chess with his friends.
Having cleaned the classroom, I went home.
having done所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前，与逻辑主语是主动关系。
4) having been done：被动完成
eg. Having been surrounded by the flood for over a week, the villagers lacked food and medicine.
Having been shown the library, the visitors were led to the audio-visual lab.
having been done所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前，与逻辑主语是被动关系。

现在分词 doing (主动进
行)
being done (被动进行)
being done
having been done

having done (主动完
成)
过去分词
having been done(被动完
成)
done (被动完成)
having been done与done的区别：
试分析：Written in simple English, the book is easy to read.
Built more than 800 years ago, the Krimlin is the working place of the Russian president.
Having been surrounded by the flood for over a week, the villagers lacked food and medicine.
Having been shown round the library, the visitors were led to the audio-visual lab.
过去分词所表示的动作也发生在谓语动词之前，与逻辑主语的关系也是被动，但它不像having been done强
调两个动作先后发生，过去分词经常可表示一种完成的状态。
5) 分词的否定形式：not +分词
eg. She remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Not hearing the bell, the teacher kept on teaching.

【知识梳理2】分词的功能
1．表语 (doing done)
eg. The situation is inspiring.
The little girl is charming.
He looks disappointed.
Nanjing Road is crowded at weekend.
Those days are gone forever.
2．宾语补足语 (doing done)
可以跟分词作宾语补足语的常用动词有see, look at, notice, watch, observe, hear, listen to,
feel, smell, have, get, set, leave, keep, make, find等。
eg. Mary heard someone knocking at the door.
I found him sittingseated at the back of the room.
I didn’t recognize him, because he had his hair cut.
Don’t worry. I’ll have the car waiting for you.
She saw her baby playing with their pet dog.
She saw a patient carried out of the room by the doctors.
The policeman noticed the small kitchen window broken.
*The teacher caught him cheating in the exam.
*I won’t have you talking like that.
3．定语 (doing done being done)

分词作定语，如果只是单个的分词，一般放在名词前，如是词组，一般放在名词之后。
eg. He took a burning stick from the fire.
There was a lighted candle at the corner of the table.
We met a group of children training in the playground.
Mr Smith is a man greatly respected by his colleagues.
The house being repaired was on fire last night.
4．状语 (doing done having done having been done)
分词（短语）经常用作时间、原因、条件及伴随状语。
eg. Hearing the news, they jumped for joy.
Having received the final medical check, the astronauts boarded the spaceship.
Having been operated on the leg, the patient was moved to the ward.
Being young, he was energetic.
Badly injured, the driver lost consciousness.
Having lived there for more than half a year, she is familiar with the city.
Given more time, I could do it better.
Heated for a while, water will turn into vapour.
They sat on the grass, looking at the setting sun.
Holding the million-pound note, he stood there dumbfounded.
分词作状语，分词短语前有时还可以用连词when, while, if, unless, once, until, though等。
eg. If playing all day, you will waste your time.
Don’t mention it whenwhile talking with Mary.
He will not come unless invited.
Though warned of the danger, he still went skating on the ice.
Leave the chicken in the oven until cooked to a brown color.
有的分词短语已经相当于一个固定用语，如generally speaking, judging from..., talking of...
等，要靠平时注意和积累。
eg. Judging from his appearance, he can’t be over forty.
Generally speaking, boys are more interested in such activities than girls.
Talking of language learning, communication is of great importance.
注意：我们用分词作状语的时候，它的逻辑主语必须是句子的主语或分词前面的名词。
错句： Walking through the park, the flowers looked beautiful.
→Walking through the park, I saw some beautiful flowers.
错句：Running into the house, the door banged after the boy.
→Running into the house, the boy banged the door.

5．分词独立结构(Absolute Construction)
A)Try to turn the following complex sentences into simple ones:
a) Because I had lost all my money, I had to give up my plan.
→Having lost all my money, I had to give up my plan.
b) When she was left alone in the room, she began to weep.
→Left alone in the room, she began to weep.
c) If time permits, I will show you round the campus.
→Permitting, I will show you round the campus ×
→ Time permitting, I will show you round the campus. √
当分词的逻辑主语与句子的主语不一致时，我们可以保留这个逻辑主语，这种“名词+分词”的结构 ，就
是分词的独立结构。
eg. The work done, they set to clean the room.
= After the work was done, they set to clean the room.
There being no one in the room, I left a note on the desk.
=Since there was no one in the room, I left a note on the desk.
The last bus having gone, we had to walk home.
=Because the last bus had gone, we had to walk home.
试试看：
I saw a boy lay on the ground, his teeth ______(set), his eyes ______(look) upwards, his right
hand ______(clench) on his chest. (set looking clenched)
B)分词的独立结构之前，有时还可以带有介词with。(with + noun + -ing -ed)
eg. The little boy called out to his mother, with tears running down his cheeks.
The old woman sat on the bed, with her legs crossed.
如果在with+分词独立结构中的分词是being的话，being经常省略。
eg. Don’t talk with your mouth (being) full.
She set out in the morning, with a heavy basket (being) on her back.

一、语法填空题
(A)
Teachers always have found that teaching and learning become interesting and enjoyable when

students are actively involved in the lesson. Their active engagement, however, does not come
automatically. In most cases, teachers have to find ways to get them (1) (involve).
Hai K. P. Huynh, an English teacher at American-Vietnamese International English Centre in Da
Nang, Vietnam, demonstrates (2) teachers can get students actively engaged in the learning process
and take charge of their learning by giving them the opportunities to find and correct mistakes
(3).
The effective way is to prepare an activity (4) students take over the role of correcting mistakes
which is normally done by the teacher. The teacher purposefully becomes the ‘mistake maker ’.
This technique can bring forth several benefits. For instance, by switching the role of the
‘mistake corrector’, the teacher can often observe that students get excited. The degree of
excitement (5) (increase) when the class is divided into two teams to compete with each other in
finding and correcting the mistakes.
Another benefit is that they have the opportunity to identify the possible mistakes themselves
instead of the teacher (6) (tell) them what the mistakes are. This technique can help the teacher
check his or her students’ understanding of a grammar point or comprehension of a reading task.
It can be used to reinforce and improve their production skills such as writing and pronunciation.
The activity is a simple technique (7) it is very effective (8) getting students' attention
and participation. It can easily be developed (9) (satisfy) teachers’ needs.
(B)
It’s likely that your (1) (big) ambition as a Senior 3 student is to enter a good university
this time next year. But (2) makes your dream university “good” enough? An excellent reputation
and high rankings are certainly important, according to a survey (3) (conduct) by Shanghai Municipal
Education Commission in 50 Shanghai high schools this summer. Among the 400 students, nearly 64
percent favored universities with top rankings and outstanding academic performance records.
“Compared with lower-ranking universities, a household name on the first-level list usually
means more advanced facilities, better lectures and more opportunities. These will all help me settle
down to a successful university experience,” said Qiu chenhao,17 of Shanghai’s Jianping High
School. However, great universities are defined by other factors as well. Over 63 percent think
that (4) ideal university should have an environment with research freedom,
(5) (allow) their students to experiment, succeed and sometimes fail. And a similar number of
students believe that a good university (6) produce graduates who are particularly sought after
by employers.
(7)the fact that employability is highly valued, about 28 percent say that rich history and
tradition are a priority for great universities.

教学建议：让学生阅读下面的文章，思考文章后面的三个问题。
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an
empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something
in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children
who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject
of concern.
Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule
against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was
constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my
mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影
