1.__________________(从太空上来看)，our earth, with water covering about 75% of its surface, appears as a “blue planet”. 2.Anti-government demonstrations do occur, but seldom, if ever, ______________________(正 如报纸上报道他们的那样)。 3.He lent me a thousand pounds,____________________(那正好是我需要的数目)to solve my problem. 4.The villagers_____________________(理所当然地认为)that we should build new roads. 5.______________________(如果我和我兄弟之间出现争吵)，my dad settles it. 答案： 1. Seen from space Seen from space此处用做状语，它和句子主句the earth 的关系是被动的，要用过去分词， being seen 是现在分词的被动形式，这种形式用在动作正在进行或与谓语表示的动词同时发 生，在作状语的分词里较少适用。 2. are they reported in the newspaper but 后的分句是以含有否定意义的seldom起首的，后面要用倒装结构。由于是被报纸报道， 所以report 要用它的被动形式。 3. which is exactly the amount I needed 此处用关系代词which 指代a thousand pounds.英语中表示金钱、时间、距离等数量的名词短 语，虽然形式上是复数的，其后动词仍用单数形式。 4. take it for granted take it for granted 是固定搭配，意思是“理所当然地认为”。 5. If any quarrel arises between my brother and me 此句容易把arise 用成rise，但是 rise的意思是“升起，起来”，而arise 的意思是“出现，发生， 呈现”，主语一般为抽象名词，如“problem, trouble, quarrel”等. 1．_______________(钟声响了) and we realized it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. 2.Finding it difficult to _______________(适应那里的气候)，he decided to move to the north. 3.He asked the teacher to____________________(解释得更详细一些)。 4．___________________________(与成年人学习外语相比) children do not have good conditions, but they can master mother tongue completely. 5.________________(就外表而言)，Jack and his younger brother have little in common. 答案： 1. The clock struck 时钟报时用strike,而不用ring.电话铃响了一般用ring. 2. adapt to the climate there adapt to 有“与……相适应”的意思，还可以用“be accustomed to ”或“be adjusted to”来表达类似的意思。注意这些“to”后面一定要跟名词或动名词。 3. explain the word in greater detail “explain the word in greater detail”即“详细解释某事”的意思。 4. Compared with adults learning foreign languages 此句考查分词的正确使用，它的主语是children,与adults相比，与compare 是动宾关系，所以要用表示被动关系的过去分词形式。 5. As far as the appearance is concerned “as far as something is concerned”表示“就……而言”，相似的短语有“as something referred”,表示就某事物的某方面作说明。
