(3)一般情況下,現(xiàn)在或過去分詞作狀語時,其邏輯主語就是句子的主語,如果作狀語的分詞的邏輯主語和句子主語不一致,分詞就要帶上自己的邏輯主語,構(gòu)成獨立結(jié)構(gòu)。
注意事項
(1)現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語時,如果表示否定,not放在現(xiàn)在分詞前面。
(2)是用現(xiàn)在分詞還是過去分詞作狀語的關鍵,首先是要分清與邏輯主語之間的關系,是主動還是被動,其次是分清楚其動作和謂語動詞動作的先后關系。

She has won 14 Paralympic medals including 9 gold medals and she has broken over 20 records. She has also won 5 London Marathons as a wheelchair athlete and has become a TV presenter.
[6]Francisco Goya (1746-1828) was a Spanish painter who suffered an illness which left him deaf at 46. He went on to create some of the best known Spanish art of the 19th Century. He provided inspiration for the work of later artists including Picasso and Monet.

掌握“同義替換”技巧,快速確定正確選項
同義替換是歷年高考閱讀理解題的命題人常用的設置障礙的技巧,需要注意的是,有時為了增加難度,命題者在保證含義不變的前提下故意將正確選項的句子結(jié)構(gòu)加以改變。如上文第3題題干和正確選項的組合為:“David Blunkett's blindness didn't prevent him from succeeding in life”;文章原句為:“He has been blind since birth and has never let this fact hold him back in any aspect of his life.”可知,正確選項使用了“prevent ... from”替換了原文的“hold ... back”。
