专题13 读后续写句子提升思维之无灵主语
一、读后续写中无灵主语的运用
赏析:
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Embarrasd, Jenny didn’t say anything. Dead silence suddenly fell. Then came Miss Walker’s voice. “Why is Lee’s watch on your wrist?” Jenny hesitated for a while and decided to tell everybody about the truth. However, thinking of the well-prepared speech, the magic of the watch, she changed her mind. “But Miss Walker, could I give the speech first and then explain?” She made a request in a tone of begging. [70 words]
At that, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny made her way to the platform with every confidence. Words began to flood out of her. “How could she make it? We’ve never en Jenny give so terrific a speech.” Whispers went around the classroom, and even Miss Walker nodded with approval. Immediately Jenny fini
shed her speech, a storm of applau erupted from the class. Relieved, Jenny told everyone the truth, and especially the magic of the watch. “But it’s just an ordinary watch with no magic”, Lee announced. [80 words]
好句式学习：
1.Embarrasd, Jenny didn’t say anything.形容词作状语，精简高级。后文还有：
Relieved, Jenny told everyone the truth.
2.Dead silence suddenly fell.无灵主语，有灵谓语动词，高级。形容词dead修饰微妙，恰到好处。包括后文多次运用到抽象名词作主语：
Words began to flood out of her.
Whispers went around the classroom,
Immediately Jenny finished her speech, a storm of applau erupted from the class.
3.Then came Miss Walker’s voice.完全倒装，高级句式。类似的还有：
Then 的完全倒装：
The chairman came then=>Then came the chairman.
Computer was ud in teaching then =>Then computer was ud in teaching.
4.衔接词however的使用，让上下文语义衔接自然。
5.复合形容词well-prepared的使用。
6.分词作状语的使用：
However, thinking of the well-prepared speech, the magic of the watch, she changed her mind.
7.高级词汇和语块的使用：made a request in a tone of begging，made her way to，with every confidence，nodded with approval，erupted等。
8.Immediately引导的时间状语从句的使用。
Immediately Jenny finished her speech, a storm of applau erupted from the class.
二、无灵主语概念以及用法举例
（一）概念
无灵主语（inanimate subject），又叫做物称主语，指的是使用没有生命的事物充当句子的主语成分，例如物品、动作、情感、时间、地点等，这与中文表达中习惯“以人为本”的特点，即常常会把人这个行为主体作为句子主语的情况大相径庭，体现了英语语言所强调的客体思维。
读后续写和概要写作中常用到无灵主语，如
1.Night approaching, darkness ruled the forest.
2.Anxiety tore(撕裂)him into pieces.
3.Anger choked (哽咽)my words.
4.Despair took hold of him.
