题目内容
【题目】_____ for a long time, most of the crops in this area died from lacking water.
A. Being no rain B. There was no rain
C. To be no rain D. There being no rain
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析:考查独立主格结构。There being no rain为 there be句型的独立主格形式。这不是复合句,这是一个单句,因为没有连接词。所以其中一个句子需要用到独立主格结构,没有雨可以用it being ,it 作形式主语或者there being 存在结构。故选D。
【名师点拨】
-ing形式“独立主格结构”
动词的-ing形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。
Being ill, he went home.由于生病,他回家了。(= As he was very ill, he went home.)
1.表示时间的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”
Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class.
每个人都准备好后,老师开始上课。(相当于一个时间状语从句When everyone wasready)
2. 表示原因的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”
The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave. 由那个男孩带路,我们没有困难就找到了那奇怪的洞。(相当于一个原因状语从句Because the boy led the way)
3. 表示条件的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”
My health allowing, I will work far into the night.
我的健康许可的话,我愿工作到深夜。(相当于一个条件状语从句If my health allows)
4. 表示方式的-ing形式作“独立主格结构”
The students are walking in the school happily, each wearing a card in front of his chest.
学生们快乐地在学校里走着,每个人胸前都带着一张卡。(相当于一个并列分句and each wears a card in front of his chest)
-ed形式“独立主格结构”
与逻辑主语+动词的-ing形式一样,如果-ed形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致的话,就需要用-ed形式的独立主格结构。
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。
= As their living conditions were greatly improved, the workers worked still harder.
比较:动词不定式表示动作没有发生或即将发生,动词-ed形式表示动作已经结束,动词-ing形式往往表示动作正在进行。
The manager looks worried,many things to settle. 经理看上去很着急, 有这么多的事情要处理。(事情还没有处理,而且是由经理本人来处理,用不定式to settle)
The manager looks relaxed, many things settled. 许多事情已经处理好了, 经理看上去很轻松。(事情已经处理好了,用动词-ed形式settled表示动作已经结束)
The food being cooked, the boy was watching TV. 小孩一边做饭,一边看电视。(两个动作同时进行)
The food cooked, the boy went to bed. 饭做好了,小孩去睡了。(两个动作有先后,饭已做好,小孩才去睡觉的)
