[分析]答案依次为C、C、A。
〖思维三〗分词的逻辑主语(独立主格结构) 有三种主要形式:
1 . 当主句主语不是分词的逻辑主语时,分词短语必须有自己的逻辑主语。如:
Tom being late , the teacher got angry .
(the teacher 不是 being 的逻辑主语,故分词短语 being late 要有自己的逻辑主语)
The signal given , we started the car .
注意一:动名词的复合结构作主语时,逻辑主语不能用名词的普通格或代词的主格,分词的复合结构不能用所有格。试对比:
Rose's failing in the exam surprised every one of us . (不可改为 Rose)
Rose failing in the exam , every one of us was surprised . (不可改为 Rose's)
He playing tricks on the child , the child got angry . (不可改为 his)
His playing tricks on the child made the child angry . (不可改为 him)
注意二:如果主句的主语也是分词短语的逻辑主语,该分词短语不得再带任何主语,如:
Seeing his parents , the boy couldn't help crying .
Swept by the students , the hall looks wider and bigger .
2 . with 构成的复合结构
The murderer was brought in , with his hands ____ behind his back .
A . being tied B . having tied C . to be tied D . tied
[分析]答案为D。
with 构成的复合结构,逻辑主语后可有下列形式:
with + 宾语 + 现在分词 (现在分词表主动)
In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person .
with + 宾语 + 过去分词 (过去分词表被动)
He sat there with his eyes fixed on the blackboard .
with + 宾语 + 不定式 (表将要发生的动作)
I can't work with you to turn on the radio .

My Devoted Friend-Books
When I was a boy of five , my parents bought me a lot of picture - books . The moving stories aroused my great interest in the world around us . From then on I began to make friends with good books .
As time went on , I came to know a lot of things . It is the books that teach me how to get on well with others . And it is the books that tell me it is good to love others and it is bad for one to think only of oneself .
I once fell behind in my studies and felt disappointed . Again it was the books that gave me courage and confidence .
In a word , books make a foolish bright , a coward man brave and a bright man wiser .
