题目内容

Drivers are warned that it is dangerous to talk on the phone while________.

A.drive   B.drivingC.drove   D.to drive

 

B

【解析】考查状语从句的省略/非谓语作状语。状语从句省略的两个必要条件:1,主从句的主语指代同一人/物;2,从句谓语中含有be. 补全该句后为“Drivers are warned that it is dangerous to talk on the phone while they are driving”,显然该句满足状语从句的省略条件,所以状语部分可以为while driving;也可理解为非谓语作状语,该处连词while加强状语与句子之间的逻辑关系,因为drive与其逻辑主语Drivers之间是主动关系,且表示与谓语同时进行,故用driving,所以正确答案为B.

考点:状语从句的省略/非谓语作状语

President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War.Once,Lincoln went over to the bedside of a young dying soldier.

“Is there anything I can do for you?”asked the President. The soldier obviously didn't recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper, “Would you please write a letter to my mother?”

So the President carefully began writing down the soldier's words,“My dearest mother, I was badly hurt while doing my duty. I'm afraid I'm not going to recover. Don't grieve too much for me, please. Kiss my sister Mary for me.May God bless you and Father.”

The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, “Written for your son by Abraham Lincoln.”The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it.“Are you really the President?”he asked. “Yes, I am,”replied Lincoln quietly.Then he asked if there was anything else he could do.“Would you please hold my hand?”asked the soldier.“It will help to see me through to the end.”

In the quiet room, the tall gaunt (憔悴的)President took the soldier's hand and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came.

What is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words-the longer the lists,the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can’t speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong,becomes right. People not only make history,they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.

Tips for a happier workplace

You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.

◆Give a happy “Hello!” in the morning.

Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore you or avoid you. 1. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.

◆Learn the art of small talk.

Ask your co-workers about their interests— their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. 2. Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.

◆ Ask what they think.

People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask ,“What do you think of this report?” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation?” 3.

◆Avoid gossip.

4. So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond with, “Really?” and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.

◆5.

To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette (礼节).There’s nothing more frustrating to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder, it also conveys an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.

A. Stop complaining.

B. Return calls and emails immediately.

C. Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you.

D. Always work as hard as anyone working for you.

E. You don’t want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?

F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.

G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.
