Warming up
Have you ever seen
the film before?
The aging King Lear decides to divide his kingdom
among his three daughters, allotting each a portion in
proportion to the eloquence of her declaration of love.
The hypocritical Goneril and Regan make grand
pronouncements and are rewarded; Cordelia, the
youngest daughter, who truly loves Lear, refuses to make
an insincere speech to prove her love and is disinherited.
The two older sisters mock Lear and renege on their
promise to support him. Cast out, the king slips into
madness and wanders about accompanied by his faithful
Fool. He aided by the Earl of Kent, who, though
banished from the kingdom for having supported
Cordelia, has remained in Britain disguised as a peasant.
Kent eventually brings Lear to Cordelia, who cares for
him and helps him regain his reason.

一、状语的形式
1. 副词做状语
副词作状语通常修饰动词，有时修饰整个
句子。程度副词作状语则修饰形容词或副词，
作程度状语。副词作状语常表示事情发生的时
间、地点、方式、条件、原因，或者表示让步、
程度等。
2. 形容词作状语
形容词充当状语多表示主语的状态。如：
The man was lying on the ground, dead.
After hours of walking, she arrived home safe.
以上句子中的dead, safe都是形容词充当状语，

有人认为不是充当状语，而是主语补足语。
3. 分词作状语
分词做状语常见的可表示时间、原因、条
件、让步、方式及伴随等；其次，要弄清分词

（2）分词对于逻辑主语而言，是被动发出
时，需用动词的过去分词done形式。
（3）分词动作与主句动作相比，明显先于
主句动作之前发出时，则需用动词的having
done 形式。
（4）英语中的固定短语作状语时，是不受
主句主语限制的，即不需要考虑用动词的主动
形式（-ing）或被动形式（done），常见的短
语有：be determined to， be faced with. be
satisfied with， generally speaking， judging
from/by 等。
4. 不定式作状语
（1）目的状语
to… only to (仅仅为了), in order to, so as
to, so (such)… as to… (如此……以便……)
He ran so fast as to catch the first bus.
他飞快地跑以便赶上第一班车。
I come here only to say goodbye to you.
我来仅仅是向你告别。
（2）作结果状语，表事先没有预料到的，

Reading and Writing
Read the summary of the Rain Man, write your
own one.
Rain Man (1988) is the story of a young man
who regains his humanity through the
unexpected love of a brother he never knew he
had—until now. Charlie Babbitts father passes
away, leaving him only the car that caused their
estrangement, and some prized rose bushes.
Using his cunning, Charlie traces the remainder
of the inheritance, a trust fund, to an institution
for the mentally challenged—Wallbrook. There,
Charlie discovers the existence of a brother that
he’d never known. Charlie abducts Raymond,
an autistic savant, from the institute in the
hopes of ransoming him for at least half of the
$3,000,000 trust fund. Raymond’s fear of flying
forces a cross-country road trip, during which
the two brothers reconnect. Charlie learns that
he’d actually known his brother when he was
young, mispronouncing his name as “rain man,”
but Raymond had burned young Charlie badly
in hot water and, for this reason, was forced to
live at Wallbrook—all but forgotten. By the time
the two reach Los Angeles,
Charlie’s love for his brother has rekindled the
humanity within himself. He’s left mystified by
the enigma that is his brother and grows from
the experience, even turning down Dr. Bruners
offer to walk away for $250,000.
