10． The deal, ________(complete) next week, will allow Charney to make a great fortune in the stock market.
4．to make [考查非谓语动词。句意：车上的乘客认为该由谁对于这样的事情做出最后的决定？it is up to sb to do sth由某人来决定做某事。]
5．Having gathered [此处为非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语the assistant与gather之间构成主谓关系；因“收集信息”的动作发生在“继续寻找”之前，故用现在分词的完成式。] 6．covering [考查非谓语动词。句意：我的妈妈紧紧抱住我和弟弟，满脸幸福的眼泪，为我们最后的成功感到骄傲。此处是独立主格结构，happiness是cover的动作执行者，且动作
正在进行，故应用现在分词。]
7．being；listening [题干中两个分句之间没有连词连接，前一分句应变成独立主格结构，要用现在分词；第二空her 是listen 的动作执行者，且动作正在进行，故用现在分词短语作宾语补足语，与seated并列。]
8．Being exposed [句意：在阳光下晒太长时间会对你的皮肤有害。在这个句子中，will do是谓语，缺少主语，要用动名词作主语。在非谓语动词中，用动名词或不定式来作主语。expose与one’s skin是动宾关系，所以要用动名词的被动式being exposed。]
9．Reminded [句意：因为经理被告知不要错过15：20的航班，所以他匆忙赶往机场。逻辑主语是句子的主语the manager, 非谓语动词与句子主语是被动关系，所以要用过去分词。] 10．to be completed [句意：下个星期将要完成的交易将会使查尼在股票市场挣一大笔钱。这里需要非谓语动词做定语，因为是下周将要被完成，所以用不定式的被动式。] III.短语填空

【答案】 Dear Editor,
I am Li Hua, a student from Xin Hua Middle School, and in my spare time I often visit your website, from which I know that you are collecting topics for discussion. Interested in it, I’d like to recommend my topic, which is “We Should Be Thankful”.
As you know, we middle school students, the new generation, who were born in the early 1990s, have been growing up with so much love from others. Some of us always take it for granted that our parents, grandparents and teachers should take care of us. needless to say, we seldom think of others’ feelings. Therefore, I hope by discussing this topic, we can learn to thank those who always give us their selfless love.
Wish your activity a success.
You
rs,
Li
Hua
