意為“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”,可以轉(zhuǎn)換成“on+動詞-ing”結(jié)構(gòu)

動詞-ing形式作原因狀語時(shí),相當(dāng)于一個(gè)原因狀語從句,同時(shí)也可以轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐粋€(gè)原因狀語從句,動詞-ing形式的完成式也經(jīng)常用來作原因狀語。和作時(shí)間狀語一樣,也要注意動詞-ing形式所表示的動作與謂語動詞所表示的動作的時(shí)間關(guān)系。
A.動詞-ing形式所表示的動作和謂語動詞所表示的動作同時(shí)發(fā)生或者幾乎同時(shí)發(fā)生時(shí),用動詞-ing形式的一般式。

4.動詞-ing形式作方式或伴隨狀語
動詞-ing形式表示方式或伴隨情況是比較常見的,它用來說明動作發(fā)生的背景或情況。此時(shí),一般情況下,動詞-ing形式所表示的動作和謂語動詞所表示的動作同時(shí)發(fā)生。它沒有相應(yīng)的狀語從句可轉(zhuǎn)換,但可以用并列句來轉(zhuǎn)換。
動詞-ing形式:They came into the classroom,singing and laughing.
并列句:They sang and laughed; they came into the classroom.他們又唱又笑地走進(jìn)教室。
注意:在動詞-ing形式表示方式或伴隨情況時(shí),動詞-ing形式表示的是次要?jiǎng)幼鳎^語動詞表示的是主要?jiǎng)幼鳌T谏侠?,came(進(jìn)來)是主要?jiǎng)幼?,singing,laughing是次要?jiǎng)幼?,是伴隨著came這一動作而有的。所以這句不能寫為:
(誤)They sang and laughed,coming into the classroom.
5.動詞-ing形式作結(jié)果狀語
動詞-ing形式作結(jié)果狀語時(shí),通常放在句末,中間有逗號。有時(shí)為了突出結(jié)果,分詞前帶有thus。它可以轉(zhuǎn)換為結(jié)果狀語從句。

7. 起補(bǔ)充說明作用
現(xiàn)在分詞短語起補(bǔ)充說明的作用與伴隨狀語有些相似,但嚴(yán)格地說,它不是伴隨狀語,因?yàn)樗磉_(dá)的情景不與句子的動作相伴而產(chǎn)生,實(shí)際上,它起著補(bǔ)充說明的作用,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)并列分句,但比分句簡潔、明快。例如:
①M(fèi)y train leaves at six,arriving in Chicago at ten.=...and will arrive in Chicago at ten.
②The visiting Minister expressed his satisfaction with the talks,adding that he had enjoyed his stay here.=...and added that he had enjoyed his stay here.

二、Section B 閱讀
A
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was
wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast (對比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
1. Who is the author?
A. A cameraman.
B. A film director.
C. A crowd-scene actor.
D. A workman for scene setting.
2. What made the author feel cold?
A. The heavy snowfall.
B. The man-made scene.
C. The low temperature.
D. The film being shown.
3. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. A new scene would be filmed.
B. More stars would act in the film.
C. The author would leave the studio.
D. The next scene would be prepared.

B
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.
That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Pārbati, the elephant princess.
Pārbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.
Pārbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Pārbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
But Pārbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .
A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame
2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.
A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks
B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants
