1.Havinghadanuneventful（平凡的）pregnancyandnofamilyhistorytoexpectthis
condition,imaginetheshockhisparentsfeltwhentheysawtheirfirstborn,
brandnewbabyboy,onlytofindhewaswhattheworldwouldconsiderimperfect
andabnormal.
（1）悬垂分词。
建议换成：
Havinghadanuneventfulpregnancyandnofamily
historytoexpectthiscondition,hisparentsfeltgreatshockwhentheysaw….
Canyouimaginetheshock?
以下是可以接受的悬垂分词形式：
Strictlyspeaking,nobodyisallowedin
here.Judgingfromhisaccent,hemustbefromtheSouth.
经常这样用的分词（分词词组）有：
frankly（broadly,generally,strictly…）speaking,judgingfrom/
by…,talkingabout…,speaking
of…等。
某些句子中作状语的分词的逻辑主语虽然不是句子的主语，但可能是句中的另外某一成分，对这样的句子也可以不认为是"悬垂分词"。
课文中的这个句子属于这种情况。
再如：
Seeing
herhealthsinkingrapidly,alarmclutchedthefather'sheart.
她父亲看到她健康迅速恶化，很是惊慌。
切记：
该结构应慎用。
（2）onlyto
find…不定式表示结果。
不定式表结果时通常前面需要加only,表示出乎意料的不希望看到的结果。
例如：
Theyrushedtothecinema,
onlytofindtheticketsleftathome.Theyhurriedbackhome,onlytofindthe
doorlocked.Theywenttothehospitalwithoutanydelay,onlytobetoldtheir
belovedgrandpahadalreadypassedaway.（3）whattheworldwouldconsider作插入语（4）
译文：
在经历了一段平静无事的孕期，而且没有任何家族病史预示的情况下，我们可以想象得到当时他的父母看到这个刚出生的小男孩时会是多么地震惊，只知道他就是世人所说的缺陷和不正常。
2.
Littledidtheyoranyoneknowthatthisbeautifullimblessbabywouldoneday
besomeonewhowouldinspireandmotivatepeoplefromallwalksoflife,
touchinglivesallovertheworld.
（1）否定词放在句首句子倒装，如rarely,seldom,innocase,
bynomeans,little,hardly等。
（2）whowouldinspireandmotivatepeoplefromall
walksoflife定语从句，先行词是someone。
（3）touchinglivesallovertheworld
现在分词作状语，修饰inspireandmotivatepeople。
（4）
译文：
当时他们不知道而且也没有任何一个人知道，这个漂亮的无手足的小男孩有一天会启发激励社会各阶层的人，并且感动全世界的人们。

【单选题】16.Hereturnedtoworkafterrecoveryfromhis
illness,_______anotheremployeehadtakenhisplace.A．onlytotellB．only
tobetoldC．onlytobetellingD．tobe
told【答案】B【解析】本题考查不定式表示结果。
不定式表结果时通常前面需要加only，表示出乎意料的不希望看到的结果。
本句的意思是"他生病痊愈返回了工作岗位，结果却被告知另一个雇员接替了他的岗位"，故选B。
【知识点】不定式表示结果

experience欢迎失败，把它看成是学习的体验（3）ratherthan相当于insteadof"而不是"（4）ratherthan
