3.The happy children ____________(made their ways to / made their way to / made their ways for) the coast， where they would see the sea for the first time in their lives.

2.into。考查动词短语的辨析。look on“旁观”；look into“调查；研究”；look through“浏览”。句意：史密斯先生说他正在研究买房子的可能性。

[答案与解析]
1.stepped up。句意：这家公司已加紧生产最新型号的产品。句子用过去完成时态，step up“提高，增加”，故答案为stepped up。
2.do research on
3.due to。句意：今天早上许多学生迟到是因为下大雨。固定词组：due to“由于”。故答案为due to。
4.made up。句意：他为女儿生病编造了一个借口。结合句意可知句子用一般过去时态，make up“编造”，故答案为made up。
5.belongs to
6.look into。句意：他已答应调查此事，并将给工人们一个满意的答复。固定搭配：promise to do sth.“许诺做某事”，look into“调查”，故答案为look into。
7.pick up
8.making their way to。句意：看，一些孩子正在往湖边走。我们必须阻止他们。根据上文的are可知为现在进行时，故填making their way to，表示“走向……；前往……”。
☆关键句型及惯用法☆
1.The Yeti is said to be a large，hairy animal that walks on two feet like a human being.(P18，L2­4)
译：据说，野人体格高大、多毛，像人一样用两脚行走。
[be said to do / to be doing / to have done 据说……]
be said to do / to be doing / to have done 据说……(主语是人或是物)；若主语为it，表示“据说……”，常用It is / was said that sb./ sth. ...句型。
例如：He is said to be untrustworthy.据说他是不可信的。
Our teacher is said to have studied abroad.
据说我们的老师在国外学习过。
The book is said to have been translated into English.
据说这本书已被翻译成英语。
sb. / sth.＋be said to do / to be doing / to have done...句型相当于It is / was said that sb. / sth.＋do / be doing / have done. 它出自People say that sb. / sth. ＋do / be doing / have done sth.
如：People say that he studies English well.
→It is said that he studies English well.
→He is said to study English well.
又如：People say that the books have sold well.
→It is said that the books have sold well.
→The books are said to have sold well.

单句改错：
①It is say that they will go abroad soon.
________________________________________________________________________
②The tigers are said to endangered.
________________________________________________________________________
③This book is said to have been translate into several foreign languages.
________________________________________________________________________
改写句子：
④People say that they have come up with many ways to improve the environment.
＝It ____________ they have come up with many ways to improve the environment.
⑤It is said that he is the best student in the class.
＝He ____________ the best student in the class.
＝People ____________ he is the best student in the class.
[答案]
①say改为said　②to后加be　③translate改为translated
④is said that　⑤is said to be；say that
2.Standing inside were lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes.(P2，L36­38)
译：里面站着很多白皮肤，眼睛又黑又大的奇怪生物。
此句为倒装句。主语是lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes。因为主语太长，故用倒装句。这种倒装往往强调的是动作的地点。又例如：
Growing all over the hills are thousands of trees.
各种各样的树漫山遍野地长着。
Seated in the middle of the hall was a man speaking in a strange voice.
一个说话声音奇特的男人坐在大厅中间。

完成句子：
①正躲在门后的是一些淘气的孩子。
____________ behind the door ____________some naughty children.
②激动的人们等在街道的两旁，想看看他们王子的新娘。
____________ on both sides of the streets ____________ who wanted to see the bride of their prince.
[答案]
①Hiding； were/are
②Waiting； were excited people
思考：
如果表示方位的副词和介词短语放在句首，句子结构有什么变化？
________________________________________________________________________
[答案]
如果表示方位的副词和介词短语放在句首，且主语为名词时，常用完全倒装；若主语为代词，则不倒装。
例如：In front of the house sat a small boy.
在房子前面坐着一个小男孩。
South of the city lie two big factories.
城市南边有两个大工厂。
Behind the counter she stood， beautiful and pale.
她站在柜台后面，美丽的面容有些苍白。
注意：下列副词和介词放在句首时，句子常常用倒装：
away / in / out / up / down / outwards / upwards / south / north / east / west
3.When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens， Detective Sam Peterson， who has taken charge of the case， told journalists...(P3，L67­70)
译：当被问到贾斯廷被外星人劫持的可能性时，负责调查此案的萨姆·彼得森探长告诉记者们……
(1)[“连词＋v­ed分词”的省略结构]
When asked about the possibility...是“连词＋v­ed分词”的省略结构，充当时间状语，其逻辑主语是主句主语Detective Sam Peterson，相当于when he was asked about the possibility...。
温馨提示：
当时间状语从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语含有系动词或者从句主谓为it is结构时，从句可省略主语和系动词或者it is结构。
例如：When asked how the suspect could have escaped，he explained that no doubt someone let out the cat out of the bag.当被问及疑犯怎么会逃之夭夭时，他解释说无疑是有人走漏了风声。
思考：能使用这种省略结构的还有哪些状语从句？连词后除了接v­ed分词外，还可接哪些形式？
________________________________________________________________________
[答案]
常用该省略结构的从句还有条件、让步、比较状语从句等，即once / if / unless / although / than / when / while ＋v­ing/v­ed。当非谓语动词和主句主语表示主动关系时，连词后接v­ing；当非谓语动词和主句主语表示被动关系时，则连词后接v­ed。
例如：While having dinner， listen to some enjoyable music rather than watch TV.　
吃饭时，听一听让人舒心的音乐而不要去看电视。
First aid， if (it is) properly done， can save a person's life.
急救如果做得得当，能拯救人的生命。

完成句子：
①除非邀请我，我是不会去参加聚会的。
I won't go to the party ____________.
②面对困难时，他表现得非常勇敢。
__________________________， he acts bravely.
[答案]
①unless invited
②While faced with difficulties
(2)[that引导的同位语从句]
that引导同位语从句，解释说明possibility的具体内容。
思考：同位语从句通常修饰什么词类？引导同位语从句的连词有哪些？
________________________________________________________________________
[答案]
同位语从句所修饰的名词常为抽象名词，如：idea，news，fact，hope，suggestion，thought，doubt，order，belief等；同位语从句一般用连接词(that，whether)、 连接代词(what，who)和连接副词(when，where，how)引导。
例如：I have no idea what has happened to him.
我不知道他发生了什么事。
There is a feeling in me that we'll never know what a UFO is.我感觉我们永远不会知道不明飞行物是什么东西。

在空白处填入1个适当的单词：
③The thought suddenly came to her ____________ maybe she had left the door open when she left home.
④We haven't yet settled the question ____________ we are going to spend our summer vacation.
[答案与解析]
③that。句意：她突然想起可能她在离开家时没把门关上。
④where。句意：我们还没有决定到什么地方去过暑假。

Ⅰ.选择括号内适当的短语填空。
1.—____________(There is said to have / There is said to be) no ad during TV plays.
—A wise move！ I cannot tolerate those annoying ads appearing every several minutes.
2.People planning trips home used to believe that only through the railway's telephone ticket hotline ____________(could they / they could) get their tickets.
[答案与解析]
1.There is said to be。考查句式用法。句意为：——据说电视剧中间不再插播广告了。——明智之举！我再也忍受不了每隔几分钟就出现的那些恼人的广告了。have表示“某人 / 物有……”，there be表示“某处存在某物”，两者不能在同一句中同时使用；be said to意为“据说……”，常做插入语，相当于“主语＋be said to...”。故填There is said to be。
2.could they。句意：计划旅行回家的人们过去常常认为只有通过铁路的电话订票热线才能买到他们的票。that引导的是宾语从句，从句中only＋方式状语放在了从句句首，从句应使用倒装句结构，故填could they。
Ⅱ.在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
1.Look at the beautiful big house over there！ It is said ____________(belong) to an old Japanese woman.
2.The question that ____________ should do the work requires consideration.
3.It's said that Hellen____________(study) abroad for many years， but I don't know which school she is studying in.
4.The football player didn’t succeed in scoring， though ____________(give) several chances by his teammates.
[答案与解析]
1.to belong。be said to do...“据说……”。
2.who。考查同位语从句。句意：谁该干这项工作，这个问题需要考虑。
3.has been studying。根据句意：据说Hellen已经在国外学习了多年，但我不知道她正在哪个学校学习。现在完成进行时表示发生在过去的动作一直持续到现在并还在继续，符合本题所表达的语境。
4.given。此处是让步状语从句的省略，give与逻辑主语The football player构成动宾关系，故用过去分词。
