题目内容
__________ his project, the boy had to stay up late.
| A．Not finishing | B．Not finished |
| C．Having not finished | D．Not having finished |
D
解析试题分析：句意：这个男孩没有完成他的项目，不得不熬夜了。句中考察非谓语动词，finish 这个动词的逻辑主语是the boy是主动关系，not finish没有完成这个动作发生在主句谓语动词had to 之前，故用完成时的形式。值得注意的是否定形式的完成时要用Not having finished的形式，而没有Having not finished的形式，但是有Having never finished的形式。故选D.
考点：非谓语动词用法
点评：本题重在理解非谓语动词的用法，非谓语动词是高考语法点的重中之重。把握好以下的知识：to do 表目的、将来；doing 表主动、伴随；done表被动、完成。同时答题步骤为：1.判断是否为非谓语动词，看是否有连词。2.找逻辑主语。3.判断逻辑主语与非谓语动词的关系。4.看是否非谓语动词动作发生在主句谓语动作之前，如果是之前，就用完成式的形式。
名师指导期末冲刺卷系列答案
开心蛙口算题卡系列答案"Colour" and "color"，"favourite" and "favorite"... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"? Is it because they are lazy?
Of course not. In fact，the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War (1775~ 1783)，Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous (unreasonable)，he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous."
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
"He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，"said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a biography (传记) about Webster. "He at last bonded (联合)us through our language."

It takes less than six seconds to leave a first impression. It is said that we ought not judge a book by its cover, but come on, isn’t it the color, the design, the layout, and the title that draw us to pick up a book we’ve never heard of before? Notice what your assumptions are about a person when you are first introduced to her or him.
Something that most of us don’t take notice of is how we stand or walk. Let’s say you are going for a job interview. Within seconds you have already said a lot about yourself by the way you walk. The majority of us walk around everyday without paying any attention to what we are saying even though we are not uttering a word. There is a lot that can be said about body language from the clothes you wear to the gestures you make.
I took notice of this topic recently as I recalled something about changing my posture to improve my level of confidence. I was about to venture on a new project, which would take me out of my comfort zone. My gremlins (小精灵) were having a field day with me uttering all kinds of reasons why I couldn’t do a good job with this new opportunity. I tucked in my tummy (收缩肚子) , put my shoulders back , held my head high , and took a walk. Soon thereafter, I felt so much better. I approached the project with new possibility. Wow, what a difference ! Try it !
The ability to capture your audience when you walk into a room is sure to start you off on the right foot when going on an interview. Non-verbal signals have five times the impact of verbal (言语的)signals. So you can count on losing your audience when you walk in with head down dragging your feet regardless how much you try to change it.
