本题考查考生对题干句子的理解和with的复合结构用法的掌握情况。题干句子的内容为:既然我们已经讨论了我们的问题,那么人们对采取的措施是否满意? 上面的第30题也考查非谓语动词。15分的题目,两题考时态,两题考非谓语,一题考情态动词,一题考动词辨析,纯粹的动词考查就是第六题了。谁还敢说英语的动词不重要?本题中含有一个with的复合结构,即“with + 宾语 + 补语”。这个补语如果是动词,就要用非谓语动词,如:With two exams to worry about, I really have to study hard this weekend.(to do表示将来)。又如:He was sleeping in bed, with his lips moving.(doing表示主动或正在进行)。再如:With more and more forests damaged, some animals and plants are facing the danger of dying out.(done表示被动或完成)。本题中,“因为/ 随着决定被做出”,decisions和take之间是被动关系的,所以要用过去分词。故选C
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.
