1. A decision is a choice made from among alternative courses of action that are available.(p1) 译：决策就是从几种可以选择的做法中作出选择。
分析：该句是主系表结构。made from among alternative courses of action that are available是过去分词短语做定语修饰a choice; 其中that are available是定语从句修饰courses of action. 像这样一环修饰一环的句子结构在英文中很普遍，因此为了看懂句子大家必须学会分析。这是整个英语学习过程中很重要的能力！
2. The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists, goals or objectives are wrong, or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them. (p1)
译：做出决策的原因是因为存在问题，目标或目的有错误，或者有某种东西防碍着它们的实现。 分析：该句又是主系表结构。That引导三个并列的表语从句，①a problem exists，②goals or objectives are wrong；③something is standing in the way of accomplishing them。 短语：make a decision:做出决策；stand in the way: 阻挡、防碍
3. Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance, but since uncertainty is always there, risk accompanies decisions. (p2)
译：通常管理者必须对未来的情况做出最佳预测，从而使偶然性尽可能少地发生，但因为不确定性总是存在，所以决策常伴随着风险。
分析：前半句是主谓宾结构。what the future will be是at的宾语；as little as possible做leave的宾语；since引导原因状语从句，相当于because.
4. If there is no choice, there is no decision to be made. (p3)
译：如果没有选择，就不会有决策。
分析：这是一句很简单的条件状语从句，但它有一个很重要的考点：to be made。这是动词不定式做定语修饰decision，有将来意味。比如：The last question to be discussed today is how to divide the work among ourselves.
5. For managers, every decision has constraints based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like. (p3)
译：对于管理者而言，每次决策都受到政策、程序、法律以及惯例等因素制约。
分析：这句话的考点是based on policies, procedures, laws, precedents, and the like。同样是过去分词短语做定语修饰constraints。其中词组：base?on以?为基础。 如：The film is based on s short story by Jack London.
6. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives. (p4)
译：但是这种简化的倾向使得他们看不到其他可供选择的方法。
分析：该句主语the tendency to simplify，谓语blinds; them是宾语。to simplify是定语，修饰the tendency；to other alternatives是宾补。其中短语：blind sb to sth:使?看不见?； we shouldn’t let our prejudices blind us to the facts.
7. Because individuals (and organizations) frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals, the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. (p6 line 4--6) 译：因为个人（和组织）关于如何达到目的常有不同的观点，哪种是最优的选择可能要看是谁做出决策。
分析：这是一个由because引导的原因状语从句。其中how to attain the goals做介词about的宾语，who makes the decision做介词on的宾语。
8. Some of these objectives are more important than others, but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department. (p7 line 2--4) 译：其中有一些目标比其它的更重要，但其顺序和重要程度因人和不同的部门而异。
分析：请注意比较级more important than，词组：vary from person to person译成中文：因人而异，可以推出：因季节而异vary from season to season?.
9. When presented with a common case, sales managers tend to see sales problems, production managers see production problems, and so on. (p7 line 5--7)
译：当面对同一件日常事情时，销售经理倾向于看销售问题，而生产经理则会看生产相关的问题，等等。
分析：前半部分为常考内容，它是when + 过去分词短语，构成时间状语部分。其中词组： be presented with = be faced with当面对?
When faced with difficulties, we should be brave..
10. People often assume that a decision is an isolated phenomenon. (p9)
译：人们经常假设一项决策是孤立的现象。
分析：句子结构简单：主谓宾（从句）。其中assume: = imagine; isolated: adj 孤立的。 phenomenon: n 现象；复数变化较特殊：phenomena

课文难句分析
1. The key words here are preparation and confidence, which will carry you far. （p2） 译：这里的关键词是准备和自信，它们将使你前程远大。
分析：which will carry you far非限定性定语从句，修饰preparation and confidence。另外请注意：key关键的；preparation是prepare的名词；confidence: n 信心。Confident: a 有信心的；self-confidence: 自信心。
2. Find out all you can about the job you are applying for and the origination you hope to work for. (p4)
译：了解你所申请的工作和你希望为之工作的组织。

3. It shows an unattractive indifference to your employer and to your job. (p6) 译：它表明你对雇主和你的工作的态度冷漠，不感兴趣。
分析：it主语；shows谓语；an unattractive indifference宾语；to your employer and to your job间接宾语。Show sth to sb=show sb sth.另外，请注意：indifference: 冷漠，漠视。
4. He wants somebody who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job. (p7)
分析：who is hard-working with a pleasant personality and a real interest in the job全部都是定语，修饰somebody。注意介词with表示带有。。； have interest in sth对?有兴趣。
5. Anything that you find out about the prospective employer can be used to your advantage during the interview to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for. (p8)
译：你找到的任何有关未来雇主的信息在面试中都能为你所用，以表示你费了心思去掌握一些关于你希望为其工作的人的事实。
分析：从这个句子的长度大家也能看出这是一个复杂句。主体结构为：anything can be used to your advantage. that you find out about the prospective employer是定语从句；during the interview状语；to show that you have bothered to master some facts about the people who you hope to work for是目的状语；who you hope to work for是另外一个定语从句修饰the people. 词组：to your advantage: 对你有利；work for sb为某人工作。
6. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification of something that has been said during the interview if you want to be sure what was implied, but do be polite. (p10)
译：面试中如果你想确切地知道某些话的含义，不要害怕请对方解释清楚，但一定要有礼貌。 分析：基本句型：not be afraid to do sth; 不要害怕去做某事；ask for clarification要求澄清；that has been said during the interview定语，修饰something; what was implied宾语；do be polite: 其中do为了强调，如：do be careful! I do love you! He does lie to us!
7. Have the letter inviting you for an interview ready to show in case there is any difficulty in communication. (p16)
译： 拿着邀请你面试的通知书，以防万一交谈出现困难时显示。
分析：这是一个祈使句。Have动词，拿着；the letter宾语；inviting you for an interview现在分词做定语；ready to show状语；in case there is any difficulty in communication条件状语从句；词组：there is some difficulty in sth/doing sth在?方面有困难。如：We have some difficulty speaking English fluently.
8. There is little likelihood that a panel of five wants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn. (p20)
译：由五个人构成的专门小组几乎不可能轮流与你握手。
分析：这句话的重点在于that a panel of five ants to go through the process of all shaking hands with you in turn是一个同位语从句，是对little likelihood的解释。其中：likelihood: n 可能性，相当于possibility; go through经历； in turn:轮流。
9. Would you mind rephrasing the question, please? (p23)
译：您介意换个说法来问这个问题吗？
分析：考点mind doing sth. 如： Would you mind turning down the TV?
语法：介绍as的相关用法
as是一个乍一看简单，但实际在英语中用法很复杂的小词。从词类上讲，可以用作介词、副词、连词以及关系代词；从语法功能角度来看，可以构成介词宾语，引导原因状语从句，时间状语从句，方式状语从句，让步状语从句，比较状语从句和定语从句。此外as还出现在很多固定搭配中，如： as if, as though, as long as, as to, as for, so as to, etc.

Grammar 主谓一致
主谓一致是指句中的主语和谓语在人称和数上须保持一致。我们一般遵从三个原则：
1、 语法一致的原则：是指主语为单数或复数时，其谓语动词要与其相呼应。
2、 意义一致的原则：指谓语动词的单复数取决于主语所表达的概念，而不取决于表面的语法标志，主要表现为某些集体名词后可跟动词单数或复数。如果这些集体名词指整体概念时，谓语动词用单数；指具体成员时用复数。
3、 就近原则：是指谓语动词单复数取决于离它最近的词语，而无须考虑其他的词。

8．在定语从句中主语是关系代词who, that, which,谓语动词的数应与先行词的数一致。 I, who am your teacher, will teach you everything I know.
9．主语是一些只有复数形式的名词，如clothes, trousers, glasses, compasses, scissors, shoes, socks, gloves等时，谓语用复数。但这类表示成双的东西的名词前有a pair of修饰时，谓语用单数。 My trousers are being washed now.

Analyze the important sentences among the text
1. Affected with a serious disease, Van Wendel was no longer able to speak clearly and he knew there was no hope of recovery and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. (p2) 译：因患有严重的疾病，Van Wendel再也不能清楚地讲话了，他知道他已经没有康复的可能，其病情正在迅速恶化。
句子分析：Affected with a serious disease是过去分词短语做原因状语，可以改写成原因状语从句：because he was affected with a serious disease, ?.另外，there was no hope of recovery和that his condition was rapidly deteriorating都是动词knew的宾语。词组：be affected with sth患有?疾病。如：
All the cows in the farm are affected with mad-cow disease.
hope of recovery:康复的希望。
2. Van Wendel's last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and showed on TV last year in the Netherlands. (p3)
译：Van Wendel在他的医生给她进行最后结束生命的那一阵之前的后三个月的生活被拍成了电影并于去年在荷兰的电视上首次播映。
句子分析：该句的主语较长，were之前均是。其中，核心名词Van Wendel's last three months of life，后面的before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor是动名词的被动语态做定语。film这里当动词用，拍电影。
3. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject. (p3)
译：这个节目此后被二十个国家所购买。每次放映，都引起一场关于这个主题的全国性的大讨论。 句子分析：这是一个常考句子。考点一：since: adv 从那以后；考点二：each time是名词作时间状语，前面不用介词；考点三：debate on sth关于?的讨论。
4. However, doctors who carry out euthanasia under strict guidelines introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago are usually not prosecuted. (p4)
译：然而，在荷兰议会两年前提出的议案的指导原则下执行安乐死的医生，通常是不会被起诉的。 句子分析：该句核心内容有三点：carry out ?实施，执行；under?guidelines在?原则下，under是按照，根据的意思；introduced by the Dutch Parliament two years ago是过去分词短语做定语，
修饰guidelines。
5. Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? (p5)
译：医生应该被允许去结束他人的性命吗？
句子分析：该句中主要核心内容是：情态动词的被动语态。情态动词+be+动词过去分词。如：In hot days, flowers must be watered every day.
6. Cicely Saunders, President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement, argues that euthanasia doesn't take into account that there are ways of caring for the dying. (p8)
译：C.S是国家收容所委员会的主席和收容运动的发起人，认为安乐死并没有考虑到照顾临终病人有多种方式。
句子分析：主语Cicely Saunders，President of the National Hospice Council and a founder member of the hospice movement是主语的同位语，谓语后面是一个宾语从句，而其中又包括一个小的宾语从句。重要词组：take sth into account = take sth into consideration将?考虑在内。如：when judging his performance, don't take his age into account. 另一个词组：care for关心某人。
7. It's very easy in society now for the elderly, the disabled and the dependent to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out. (p8)
译：这很容易使老人们，残疾人和依靠别人生存的人感觉到他们是负担，因此应该选择离开人世。 句子分析：该句it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式，to feel that they are burdens, and therefore that they ought to opt out。另外还请注意：the elderly, the disabled and the dependent是属于：the + adj 所构成的固定表达方式，相当于elderly people, disabled people and dependent peoole,是复数概念，因此若作主语句子的谓语动词应用复数形式。如：
In our country, the old are taken good care of by the young.
词组：opt out选择放弃。如：I think I'll opt out the game.
8. What those people who oppose euthanasia are telling me is that dying people haven't the right. (p9)
译：那些反对安乐死的人是在告诉我们将死的人们没有这种权利。
句子分析：乍一看，这是一个简单句子，但若仔细分析，你会发现，这是一环套一环的结构。句子主体结构应是：What those people are telling me is that dying people haven't the right. 主语是一个主语从句，What those people are telling me； 表语是一个表语从句：that dying people haven't the right.另外，who oppose euthanasia是定语，修饰those people; 请注意下列几个词的用法：oppose: v 反对； dying people即将死去的人们；have the right to do sth有权力去做某事。
9. But there are situations where death is a friend. (p9)
译：但是在一种情况下死亡是朋友。
句子分析：该句唯一的考点为：where; 此时它引导定语从句，相当于in which. 关于定语从句的关系词选择的问题，主要取决于先行词在从句中所作成分，请对比：
1). The house ??which he bought last year is very big.
2). The house where he was born is very old now.
3). The house whose windows face south is very big.
10. The film showing Cees Van Wendel's death was both moving and sensitive;? his wife had only her husband's interests at heart. (p10)
译：显示CVW之死的电影既感人又敏感，他妻子的心里只有丈夫的利益。

是现在分词短语做定语，修饰the film; 词组：have sth at heart:对?十分关心，将?放在心上。 He is selfish, and he has nothing but his own interest at heart

Analyze the important sentences among the text:
1. There are estimated to be more than 20000 overseas domestic servants working in Britain (p1)
译：据估计，在英国工作的外籍家佣有20000多人。
句子分析：此句为there be句型的变体。该句型是英语中常见句式，称“存在句”谓语动词一般由be充当，但还可以根据句意换成其它动词，如：
1). There are a lot of people in the meeting room.
2). There will be a meeting tomorrow.
3). There used to be a church at the corner of the street.
4). There happened to be an old friend of mine in the hotel.
5). There is sure to rain tomorrow.
6). There stands a bank next to my school.
另外，working in Britain是现在分词作定语，修饰domestic servants。
2. Of these 20000, just under 2000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain. (p1)
译：根据某个设在伦敦的帮助在英国工作的国外佣人的活动组织声称，在这20000名佣人中又近2000人被他们的雇主剥削和虐待。
句子分析：Of these 20000是状语，under 2000是数词作整个句子主语，are being exploited and abused是现在进行时态的被动语态做谓语，剩余的是状语。另外，under是低于?不到?的意思；---based
设在?的，以?为基础的；
3. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or escaping virtually impossible. (p2)
译：他们的护照可能已被拿走，其实际上既不能离开液或不能逃走。
句子分析：have their passports removed是VOC结构，使have sth done句型的具体使用，表示宾语和动词之间是被动的关系，如：Last week I have my computer repaired.
making leaving or escaping virtually impossible是现在分词作结果状语，其中leaving or escaping是动名词，做making的宾语。virtually是几乎的意思，相当于almost.
4. In one of them, a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder, despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. (p3) 译：其中一个事例就是关于一个菲律宾女佣在被判谋杀罪后，在新加坡被处决，尽管各个地区的人都抗议她的罪行尚未得到充分证实。
句子分析：was executed表被动，after being convicted of murder是时间状语，请注意：being动名词，convicted被判罪，被动，词组：sb is convicted of sth 某人被判有?罪。如：
She has twice been convicted of fraud. (她已经两次被判犯有诈骗罪。)
despite尽管，是介词，因此其后只能跟名词，而不能接句子。Protests是抗议的意思，
that her guilt had not been adequately established是Protests的同位语从句，具体解释Protests的内容。from various quarters= from various places.
5. I was supposed to be paid ￡120 but I never received that amount. (p4)
译：我本应该得到120英镑的报酬，但我从未得到那个数目。
句子分析：词组be supposed to do sth应该做某事，如：You are supposed to get there as early as possible.
be paid ?被支付?钱。
He is paid 1000yuan for finishing such a task.
6. At the end of 1994, the British Government introduced new measures to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers. (p7)
译：19xx年年底，英国政府引进新的措施来保护家佣们，使其免受雇主的虐待。
句子分析：At the end of 1994时间状语，the British Government主语，introduced谓语， new measures宾语，to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers是不定式做目的状语。词组：protect sb from sth保护?使之远离?
Each parent should protect their child from TV violence.
7. So if they do complain, they risk being deported. (p8)
译：所以，如果他们真的抱怨的话，就会冒着被驱逐出境的风险。
句子分析：do complain:是谓语动词的强调形式，意思：的确抱怨道的话?前面我们曾经见过it is/was? that/who?的强调句型，它不能用来强调谓语，只能强调主语、宾语和状语，而要想强调谓语，只能借助于助动词do, does, did.
For example:
1). I do love you!
2). He does study very hard.
3). I did meet Bill Gates last week.
8. Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer, if they so choose, is what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for. (p9)
译：给予那些愿意做同类工作但是想更换雇主的家佣们这种自由，这正是国际反奴役组织这样的团体向政府争取的。
句子分析：Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是动名词短语作主语，其中to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是不定式作定语修饰the freedom，谓语是is, 后面的what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for是表语从句。if they so choose是条件状语从句，做插入语。
9. It is, they say, the right to change employers which distinguishes employment from slavery. (p9)
译：他们说，就是更换雇主的权利才能把雇佣同奴役区别开来。
句子分析：该句的主要形式是it is?引导的强调句。强调句子的主语the right to change employers. they say 是插入语。词组：distinguish A from B将A 同B区分开。
The twins are so alike that no one can distinguish one from the other.|

句子分析：主语：The three forms；谓语（系动词）：remained；表语：distinct. musically and culturally是副词修饰distinct。as late as 1965时间状语，none没有一个；new states of consciousness新的意识状态。Radically修饰new.

分析：主语：The robots；谓语：handle；宾语：the radioactive materials；used in nuclear pants handle the radioactive materials是过去分词短语做定语；preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation是现在分词短语做伴随状语。being exposed to动名词被动语态；prevent sb from doing 阻止某人做某事。
4. Robots differ form automatic machines in that after completion of one specific task, they can be reprogrammed by a computer to do another one. (p4)
翻译：机器人与自动化装置的区别在于它们完成一项特定任务后可以由计算机重新编程去执行另一项任务。
分析：该句重要考点：in that,相当于because, 所引导从句表原因。如：
Men are different from other animals in that the former can create and use tools while the latter cannot.
5. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. (p5)
翻译：人们不知道是否有一天机器人能具有像人类一样好的视觉。
分析：该句的主语是whether引导的主语从句。（有关知识请见课后补充语法。），it 是形式主语；as good as human vision是后置定语修饰vision;
6. Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of metal hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. (p6)
翻译：在其他方面努力取得进展的工程人员正在设计和实验新的金属手臂和手指，使机器人具有触觉。
分析：请注意该句中几个-ing的区别：working on other advances是非谓语动词中的现在分词；are designing and experimenting是谓语动词的进行时态；giving robots a sense of touch是非谓语动词的现在分词做结果状语。词组：experiment with sth实验。。。
7. These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions, will have plenty of work to do. (p7)
翻译：未来具有触觉、视觉并能决策的机器人将可以做很多工作。
分析：主语：These future robots；谓语：will have；宾语：plenty of work to do。
assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions是过去分词短语做定语，修饰主语，其中动词不定式to see and make decisions是另外一个定语，修饰the ability. 词组：be assembled with sth = be equipped wth sth装备有。。。；a sense of touch触觉，同样的短语还有：a sense of sight/hearing/smell/taste:视觉，听觉，嗅觉，味觉；a sense of humor/direction:幽默感/方向感。make decisions做出决定；plenty of sth充足的，足够的
8. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robotics. (p7)
翻译：任何希望了解未来工业的人必须懂机器人。

自考英语二复习资料第十章
补充语法知识：名词性从句
名词性从句是由if, whether, that 和各种疑问词充当连接词所引导的从句，其功同名词一样。
一．主语从句
主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的从句，通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替，而本身放在句子末尾。
1. It 作形式主语和it引导强调句的比较
It 作形式主语代替主语从句，主要是为了平衡句子结构，主语从句的连接词没有变化。而it引导的强调句则是对句子某一部分进行强调，无论强调的是什么成分，都可用连词that。被强调部分指人是也可用who/whom。例如：
1).It is a pity that you didn't go to see the film.
2).It doesn't interest me whether you succeed or not.
3).It is in the morning that the murder took place.
4).It is John that broke the window.
必背
用形式主语it引导的主语从句相当多，有些已形成固定的语法和译法。常见的有：
It is said that... 据说?? It is reported that... 据报导??
It is well known that... 众所周知?? It is announced that... 据宣布??
It is believed that... 人们相信?? It is thought that... 人们认为??
It is understood that... 自不待言?? It must be pointed out that... 必须指出?? It must be admitted that... 必须承认??
2.主语从句的语序
主语从句要求使用陈述句语序，而非一般疑问句语序。如：
What surprised me most was that the little girl could play the violin so well. 使我感到惊讶的是这个小女孩的小提琴拉得太好了。
How he was successful is still a puzzle.
他是如何成功的仍然是个谜。
3. 连接词的选用
（1）that和what的选用
that和what都可引导主语从句。what除起连接作用外，还在名词性从句中充当某些成分，可作从句的主语、宾语或表语。而that在名词性从句中不充当任何成分，无词义，只起连接词作用。如： What he wants is a book. 他想要的是一本书。
That light travels in straight lines is known to all. 众所周知，光线沿直线运行。
（2）if和whether的选用
引导主语从句，不能用if，只能用whether。如：
Whether we will hold a party in the open air tomorrow depends on the weather.
我们明天是否在户外开晚会要看天气而定。
（3）其它连接代词和副词的选用
根据主语从句的具体意义，正确的选择who, which, when, where, why, how等连接词，这些连接词既有疑问含义，又起连接作用，同时在从句中充当各种成分。如：
When we shall hold our sports meet is not decided. 我们何时举行运动会还没有决定。 Who broke the glass yesterday is not clear. 还不清楚昨天谁打破了玻璃。
Which car you will choose to buy makes no difference. 你决定买哪一辆车都不会有任何区别。
二．宾语从句
在复合句中用作宾语的从句叫做宾语从句。
1. 宾语从句常由that引导，在口语中常省略。当主句中谓语动词是现在或将来时态时，从句中谓语动词不受主句中谓语动词时态的影响，按需要可以使用任何时态。如：
She says (that) she works from Monday to Friday. 从句是一般现在时
She says (that) she will leave a message on his desk. 从句是一般将来时
当主句谓语是过去时态，从句中的时态一般用表示过去的某种时态。如：
He said there were no classes yesterday afternoon. 从句是一般过去时
He said (that) he was going to take care of the baby. 从句是过去将来时
He said (that) they were having a meeting at that time. 从句是过去进行时
当主句谓语是过去时态，而宾语从句叙述某一客观真理（事实）时，宾语从句的时态则用一般现在时。如：
The teacher told us(that) nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. 老师告诉我们世上无难事只怕有心人。
He said that light travels much faster than sound. 他说光传播比声音传播快得多。
2. 否定转移
1) 将think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine等动词后面宾语从句的否定词转移到主句中，即主句的谓语动词用否定式，而从句的谓语动词用肯定式。
I don't think I know you. 我想我并不认识你。
I don't believe he will come. 我相信他不回来。
注意：若谓语动词为hope,宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。
I hope you weren't ill. 我想你没有生病吧。
2) 将seem, appear 等后的从句的否定转移到前面。
It doesn't seem that they know where to go.看来他们不知道往哪去。
It doesn't appear that we'll have a sunny day tomorrow. 看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。
三．表语从句
表语从句在复合句中作表语的名词性从句，放在系动词之后，一般结构是“主语＋连系动词＋表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外，常用的还有the reason is that? 和It is because 等结构。例如：
1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.
2) This is why we can't get the support of the people.
3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.
4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus.
四. 同位语从句
同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。
1.同位语从句的功能
同位语从句对于名词进一步解释，说明名词的具体内容，一般由that引导，例如：
1) The king's decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.
2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.
2．同位语从句与定语从句的区别
(1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词，同时以在从句中作某个成分（主语或宾语），而同位语从句中的that是连词，只起连接主句与从句的作用，不充当句中任何成分。
(2) 定语从句是形容词性的，其功能是修饰先行词，对先行词加以限定，描述定的性质或特征；同位语从句是名词性的，其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如：
1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.（他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。）（第一个that引导的从句是定语从句，that在从句中作宾语）
2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.（汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。）（同位语从句，that在句中不作任何成分） Key words and phrases
1.warning: n 警告，warn : v 警告，warn sb not to do sth; give sb a warning
2.shift: v/n 替换，转移，改变，转变，轮班
1).There has been a shift in fashion from formal to more informal dress.
2).The wind shifted from east to north.
3).She works the day shift and her husband works the night shift.
3.speculate: v 思索、推测，speculate on/upon/about sth, speculation: n, speculator: n
4.datum: n 资料、数据，复数形式：data; 又如：bacterium: 细菌，bacteria;
medium, media.
5.reliability: n 可靠性，reliable: a 可靠的， unreliable: a 不可靠的
6.partial: a 偏袒的，部分的，be partial to sb.
7.up-to-date: a 最新的，out of date: 过时的，to date: 至今
1).Will long dress go out of date next year?
2).To date, we have not received any replies from him.
3).She always wears clothes that are right up to date.
8.analyze: v 分析，analysis: n， 复数形式：analyses.
9.work on:从事?； 对?有影响
1).The scientist has been working on environmental protection for many years.
2).The sufferings of the poor worked on our feelings so much that we gave them all the help we could.
10.set sth up:设立、建立、提出
1).A statue was set up in the center of the city.
2).Many countries agreed to set up an international organization to keep peace.
3).Einstein set up many important theories.
Analyze the difficult sentences:
1.Scientists are working on program to predict where and when an earthquake will occur.(P1) 翻译：科学家们正致力于研究预报地震何时何地发生的计划。
分析：Scientists are working on program是句子的主体部分，to predict where and when an earthquake will occur是动词不定式做定语，修饰program.其中，where and when an earthquake will occur是动词predict的宾语从句，注意疑问句的语序。词组：work on:从事?，对?有影响，如： The sufferings of the poor worked on our feelings so much that we gave them all the help we could.
2.They hope to develop an early warning system that can be used to forecast earthquakes so that living can be saved.(P1)
翻译：他们希望研究出一种早期警报系统，用来预报地震，以挽救人们的生命。
分析：该句中that引导的定语从句修饰an early warning system，另外，so that引导目的状语从句。注意，情态动词的被动语态在这句话中的用法。
3.Two of the biggest earthquakes that were ever recorded took place in China and Alaska.(P2) 翻译：有记载的两次最大的地震发生在中国和阿拉斯加。
分析：主语Two of the biggest earthquakes，谓语took place。该句考点，形容词最高级，the biggest; that were ever recorded是定语从句；were recorded表示“被记录”；词组：take place发生、举行，请注意：该词无被动语态。如：
Great changes have taken place in Beijing in recent years.
4.The nations that are actively involved in earthquake prediction programs include Japan, ?..(P4)
翻译：积极参与地震预报研究的国家包括日本?。
分析：该句考点，词组be involved in sth参与?；或be actively involved in sth积极地参与?如：All the countries in the world should be actively involved in protecting the environment.
5.These networks are on the alert for warning signs that show the weakening of rock layers that can precede an earthquake.(P4)
翻译：这些网络一直处于戒备状态，搜索着警告的迹象，这些迹象显示出在地震前可能发生岩层松动状况。
分析：这句话的主干是These networks are on the alert for warning signs，它后面是两个套在一起的定语从句，均是由that引导的，第一个修饰warning signs；第二个修饰the weakening of rock layers。词组：on the alert: 警戒、防备着?如：
Passengers on buses should be on the alert against pick-pockets.
6.They watch for changes in the water level and temperature that are associated with movement along faults.(P4)
翻译：他们密切注意与断层运动有关的水位和水温的变化。
分析：词组：watch for密切注意?；be associated with同?有关系。
7.Everyone agrees that earthquakes cannot be predicted with any reliability.(P6) 翻译：人们都认为不可能可靠地预报地震。
分析：that引导的是宾语从句，其中cannot be 不可能，表示推测语气；with any reliability带有任何可能性。
8.While this is a small start, it is still a beginning.(p6)
翻译：尽管这是一个小的开端，但毕竟只是处于初始阶段。
分析：本句中的while意思是“尽管，虽然”，引导让步状语从句。请看下面的句子，区分while含义：
1).While I was walking along the street, I met an E.T.
2).I like watching TV while my husband likes playing chess in the spare time.
3).While he has tries several times, he still fails again.
Grammar: 倒装句
英语中主语在前,谓语在后的语序称为自然语序。
由于语法、修辞的需要谓语置于主语之前，称为全部倒装；助动词、情态动词等移到主语之前而主要动词仍然在主语之后的，称作半倒装.全部倒装和半倒装的句子统称倒装句。
倒装句之全部倒装
全部倒装是只将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用与一般现在时和 一般过去时。常见的结构有：
1) here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run。 There goes the bell.
Then came the chairman.
Here is your letter.
2) 表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首，谓语表示运动的动词。
In the front of the classroom stands our English teacher.
Ahead sat an old woman.注意：上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语必须是名词，如果主语是人称代词则不能完全倒装。
Here he comes. Away they went.
倒装句之部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词，则需添加助动词do, does或did，并将其置于主语之前。
1)句首为否定或半否定的词语，如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until? 等。
Never have I seen such a performance.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.
Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
当Not until引出主从复合句，主句倒装，从句不倒装。
注意： 如否定词不在句首不倒装。
I have never seen such a performance.
The mother didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep.
典型例题
1) Why can't I smoke here? At no time___ in the meeting-room
A.is smoking permitted B. smoking is permitted
C.smoking is it permitted D. does smoking permit
答案A.这是一个倒装问题。当否定词语置于句首以表示强调时，其句中的主谓须用倒装结构。 这些否定词包括no, little, hardly, seldom, never, not only, not until等。本题的正常语序是 Smoking is permitted in the meeting-room at no time.
2) Not until the early years of the 19th century ___ what heat is.
A.man did know B.man know C.didn't man know D.did man know
答案D. 看到Not until?的句型，我们知道为一倒装句，答案在C，D 中选一个。
改写为正常语序为，Man did not know what heat is until the early years of the 19th.现在将not提前，后面就不能再用否定了,否则意思就变了。
以否定词开头作部分倒装
如 Not only?but also, Hardly/Scarcely?when, No sooner? than
1).Not only did he refuse the gift, he also severely criticized the sender.
2).Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.
3).No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her.
so, neither, nor作部分倒装
表示'也'、'也不' 的句子要部分倒装。
Tom can speak French.So can Jack.
If you won't go, neither will I.
典型例题
---Do you know Jim quarrelled with his brother?
---I don't know, _____.
A.nor don't I care B.nor do I care C.I don't care neither D.I don't care also 答案：B.nor为增补意思'也不关心'，因此句子应倒装。A错在用 don't 再次否定， C neither 用法不对且缺乏连词。 D缺乏连词。
注意： 当so引出的句子用以对上文内容加以证实或肯定时，不可用倒装结构。意为'的确如此'。 Tom asked me to go to play football and so I did.
---It's raining hard. ---So it is.
only在句首要倒装的情况
Only in this way can you learn English well.
Only after being asked three times did he come to the meeting.
如果句子为主从复合句，则主句倒装，从句不倒装
Only when he is seriously ill, does he ever stay in bed.
as, though 引导的倒装句
as / though引导的让步从句必须将表语或状语提前 （形容词, 副词, 分词, 实义动词提前）。 注意： 1) 句首名词不能带任何冠词。 2) 句首是实义动词, 其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动
词有宾语和状语, 随实义动词一起放在主语之前。
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
注意: 让步状语从句中，有though，although时，后面的主句不能有but，但是 though 和yet可连用。
其他部分倒装
1)so? that 句型中的so 位于句首时，需倒装。
So frightened was he that he did not dare to move an inch.
2)在某些表示祝愿的句型中：
May you all be happy.
3)在虚拟语气条件句中从句谓语动词有were, had, should等词，可将if 省略，把 were, had, should 移到主语之前，采取部分倒装。
Were I you, I would try it again.
典型例题
1）Not until the early years of the 19th century___ what heat is
A.man did know B.man knew C.didn't man know D.did man know
答案为D. 否定词Not在句首，要求用部分倒装的句子结构。
2）Not until I began to work ___ how much time I had wasted.
A.didn't I realize B.did I realize C.I didn't realize D.I realize
答案为B。
3)Do you know Tom bought a new car? I don't know, ___.
A.nor don't I care B.nor do I care C.I don't care neither D.I don't care also
解析：答案为B. 句中的nor引出部分倒装结构，表示'也不'。由 so, neither, nor引导的倒装句，表示前一情况的重复出现。其中, so用于肯定句, 而 neither, nor 用在否定句中
