17、 Probably the most well known are the Amish， a group of Christians living in rural America.最著名的可能是阿米什人，一群生活在美国农村的基督教徒。句式分析a group of Christians作前面the Amish的同位语；living in rural America是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰前面的名词Christians并与之构成逻辑上的主谓关系。思维拓展 现在分词和过去分词都可用作定语，它们的区别有两点：现在分词表示分词与所修饰的名词或代词之间存在主谓关系，过去分词表示分词与所修饰的名词或

20、中使用了句型makeit adj./n. for sb.to do，其中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。(2)even if引导了让步状语从句。even if相当于even though，意为“即使；尽管”。even if/though引导的让步状语从句可用现在时代替将来时。Even if you take a taxi, you will still miss the train.即使你乘出租车也赶不上这班火车了。Even if we could afford it, we wouldnt go abroad for our vacation.即使我们付得起这笔钱，也不出国度假。思

23、时间状语从句中the way(方式)后接定语从句we live，引导词that/in which在从句中作方式状语，已经省去。思维拓展way(方式，方法)后定语的常见形式：There are many ways of learning a language.学习一种语言的方法有很多种。The way he thought of to get the task done is not practical.他想出的完成该任务的这一方法不实用。The way (which/that) you told me last Sunday worked well.上周日你告诉我的那个方法很管用。The wa

I couldnt agree more. 我完全同意。句式分析此句是用比较级表示最高级含义，其结构是“表示完全否定意义的词比较级”。I have never seen a better film.我没看过比这部更好的电影。思维拓展比较级表示最高级意义的常用结构：(1)比较级than

25、(2)表示否定意义的词形容词/副词的比较级(than)Tom is more intelligent than any other student/all the other students in his class.汤姆是他班上最聪明的学生。Li Yang studies harder than anyone else in his class.李洋在班里学习最努力。Nothing is easier than this.这是最容易的事。There is nothing better.再好不过了。即时训练I have never heard a better(good) voice.5.

26、As you can imagine, the skies over the city get pretty busy.正如你可以想象的，城市的天空变得非常繁忙。句式分析句中As引导非限制性定语从句，指代后面的整个句子。as在非限制性定语从句中作主语、表语或宾语，且引出的从句位置比较灵活，可位于句首或句末，也可置于主句中间。通常均由逗号将其与主句隔开。as有“正如， 就像”之意。但通常用于像as we all know, as is known to all, as is said above, as is always mentioned above, as is usual, as is

27、often the case, as is reported in the newspaper等句式中。As is known to the United States, Mark Twain is a great American writer.美国人都知道，马克吐温是一位伟大的美国作家。(as在从句中作主语)As you know, he wrote a lot of fairy tales.你是知道的，他写了许多神话故事。(as在从句中作宾语)He is absorbed in work, as is often the case.他正在全神贯注地工作，这是常见的情况。(as在从句中作表

28、语)思维拓展as/which引导非限制性定语从句的区别关系词意义先行词从句位置从句功能as正如整个主句比较灵活补充说明which这/那主句、个别词或短语位于先行词后补充说明；先行词为整个主句时，从句多表示结果即时训练1. Taiwan is, as you know, an inseparable part of China.2.

63、nological advances. So I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.答案1. with 考查介词。with 表示“带有；具有”。2. driverless 考查形容词。根据下文可知，此处指“无人驾驶汽车”，所以填driverless。3. opposed 考查形容词。be opposed to 反对。4. unnecessary 考查形容词。由与其并列的dangerous 可知，此处暗含否定意味，故应该是“不必要的”。un- 为否定前缀。5. claimed 考查时态。空格处和前面的apologised 并列，所以用一般过去时。6. absence 考查名词。根据前面的the 判断，所填的词是名词形式。7. who 考查定语从句。先行词是指人的名词，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语，所以填who。8. an 考查冠词。emphasis 是以元音音素开头的单数可数名词，此处是泛指，所以填an。9. to keep 考查非谓语动词。此处是“make + it + 形容词 + for sb. to do”结构。10. Personally 考查副词。所填的词修饰整个句子，所以用副词形式。
