in one’s efforts to do sth. “在某人试图做某事时”, 通常在句中作状语.

find oneself +介词短语，意为“（突然）发现自己处在。。。。。。”。

whatever在此引出一个让步状语从句, 相当于no matter what, 意为 “无论; 不管”.

如:

四、语法复习
1．部分否定:
英语中的概括词all, every, both, 以及与every构成的合成词everybody, everything用于not否定句时, 只表示部分否定, 常译成 “并非……都”.
例如:
Both of the books were not published in Britain
这两本书不都是在英国出版的.
Everything isn’t ready.
并不是一切都准备好了
Not everyone likes this garden.
并不是每个人都喜欢这个花园.
以上句子如果表达全部否定, 则必须运用完全否定词语none, neither, no one, nothing等.
例如:
None of the answers are correct.
所以答案都错了
Neither of the books are published in Britain .
这两本书都不是在英国出版的
Nothing is ready.
什么都没准备好
No one likes this garden.
没有人喜欢这个花园.
[注意]任何人不经允许不能离开这个聚会
[误]Anybody can’t leave the party without permission.
[正]Nobody can leave the party without permission
any…not的表达形式不符合英语习惯.
2．现在分词和不定式均可作结果状语, 区别如下:
分词作结果状语, 通常表示一个比较自然的, 意料之中的结果, 是主句谓语动词动作的直接结果. 不定式作结果状语, 通常表示发生的一个出乎意料, 事先没有想到的结果.
例如:
He hurried to the station. Only to find the train had gone.
他急急忙忙赶到车站, 结果发现火车已经开走了. (他未料到)
He lifted a rock only to have it drop on his own feet.
他搬起石头, 结果却砸了自己的脚.

【考点透视 考例精析】

A．what; when B．that; which C． what; which D．which; that
[点拨] 选A。what引导表语从句，且在从句中作表语；when引导非限定性定语从句。全句的意思是：“它不再是20前设备简陋的时候那个样子了。”
[考点] attract 用作及物动词，“吸引，招引”的意思。
[考例2] The company is starting a new advertising campaign to ________ new customers to its stores.
A．join B．attract C．stick D．transfer

A．which B．that C．what D．whether
[点拨] 选D。句义是：“我想知道小偷是否被当场抓获的。” whether 引导宾语从句， 表示“是否”。这里whether可以用if 替换，但引导主语从句，表示“是否”时，只能用whether，不能用if。例如：Whether we’ll go camping tomorrow depends on the weather. （这句话中whether 引导从句是主语从句，不能用 if 替换。）
[考点] that引导的名词性从句作主语。由于主语从句较长，为平衡句子结构，常用it 作形式主语。
[考例4] ________ in the regulations that you should not tell other people the password of your e-mail account.
A．What is required B．What requires C．It is required D．It requires
[点拨] 选D。it 是形式主语， that引导的从句是真正的主语。

阅读理解：
It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century.
We’ll know where we came from. Why does the universe exist? To put it another way, why is there something instead of nothing? Since the 1920s, scientists have known the universe is expanding, which means it must have started at a definite time in the past. They even have developed theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution(演变) of the universe.
We’ll crack（破译）the genetic（基因）code and conquer cancer. Thanks to 20th-century antibiotics, the once dreaded, once incurable disease now can mean nothing more serious than taking some pills. As scientists learn more about the genetic code and the way cells work, many serious diseases ---cancer, for one ---will become less threatening. Using manufactured “therapeutic”(治疗的) viruses, doctors will be able to replace cancer-causing damaged DNA with healthy genes.
We’ll live longer (120 years?). If the normal aging process is basically an invisible contest in our cells ---a contest between damage to our DNA and our cells’ ability to repair that damage ---then 21st –century progress in genetic medicine may let us control and even reverse the process.
We’ll manage Earth. In the 21st century, we’ll stop talking about the weather but will do something about it. We’ll gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity on the Earth, its climate and its ecosystems(生态系统). And with that knowledge will come an increasing willingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet.
We’ll have a brain “road map”. This is the real “final frontier” of the 21st century: The brain is the most complex system we know. It contains about 100 billion neurons, each connected to as many as 1,000 others.
1．In the 20th century, __________ made the serious disease become curable.
A．genetic code B．healthy genes C． antibiotics D．DNA
2．Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?
A．In the 21st century, we will be more willing to manage the working of our planet
B．The brain contains about 1000 billion neurons.
C．The 21st century progress in genetic may let us control the aging process.
D．The universe must have started at a definite time in the past.
3．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．People will live longer and become much stronger in the 21st century.
B．There will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century
C．Science will develop more quickly in the 21st century.
D．People will know more about our world
