题目内容

A. his being not able B his not being able
C. him not to be able D. him to be not able
B
【解析】
试题分析:
apologize for doing sth为做某事而道歉 句意:维克多为没有能够通知我计划的改变而向我道歉。独立主格结构。be able to 的逻辑主语为his,所以他不能做某事,not在be able to之前,故选B
考点:独立主格结构
点评:独立主格结构式高考语法的重点:
一、独立主格结构的概念
独立主格结构(Absolute Structure)是由名词或代词加上分词等构成的一种独立结构,用于修饰整个句子。独立主格结构中的名词或代词与其后的分词等构成逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构与主句不发生句法上的联系,它的位置相当灵活,可置于主句前、主句末或主句中,常由逗号将其与主句分开。需特别注意的是,独立主格结构与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。
二、独立主格结构基本构成形式
名词(代词)+现在分词(过去分词;形容词;副词;不定式;名词;介词短语)
1. 名词(代词)+现在分词
Night enshrouding the earth, nobody could make out what the dark mass was from a distance.黑夜笼罩大地,谁也看不清远处黑压压的一片是什么东西。
2. 名词(代词)+过去分词
The workers worked still harder, their living conditions greatly improved.
由于工人们的生活条件大大提高,他们工作得更起劲了。
3. 名词(代词)+不定式
在“名词/代词+动词不定式”结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词如果存在着逻辑上的主谓关系,动词不定式则用主动的形式;如果是动宾关系,则用被动形式。
Many trees, flowers, and grass to be planted, our newly-built school will look even more beautiful. 种上许多的树、花和草后,我们新建的学校看上去将更美。
4. 名词(代词)+形容词
Computers very small, we can use them widely.
电脑虽小,我们却能广泛地利用它们。
5. 名词(代词)+副词
The meeting over, our headmaster soon left the meeting room.
散会了,校长很快就离开了会议室。
6. 名词(代词)+名词
Two hundred people died in the accident, many of them children.
两百人死于事故,其中有许多儿童。
7. 名词(代词) +介词短语
He lay at full length upon his stomach,his head resting upon his left forearm.
他的脊背朝天,四肢伸展,头枕着左臂,直挺挺地趴伏着。

Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential (潜能).
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture.And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says.“This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.”

ner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes (蚊子).His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes(基因) of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever.Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes(模式化,老一套).It’s “molecular (分子) science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says.The program broadened students’ knowledge.Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research.They’re also paid $ 600 for their work—another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.
