答案：well thought of 句型梳理
1【教材原句】 (P31)The_reason_why he could not go there was_that his grades were too low.
他不能去那儿的原因是分数太低。
【句法分析】 the reason why...is/was that...是一个惯用句型，意为“……的原因是……”，其中why引导定语从句，that引导表语从句，该从句不能用because引导。
①The reason why he was successful was that he had worked hard. 他成功的原因是他工作努力。
②The reason why she didn’t get the job was that her English was not very good.
她没得到这份工作是因为她的英语不太好。
【温馨提示】 because与why均可引导表语从句，但含义不同。because引导的表语从句说明产生前面现象的原因，而why引导的表语从句是在前面已说明了理由的情况下，对一种现象加以总结。
③His absence from the meeting was because he met with a traffic accident on the way.
他开会缺席是因为他在路上碰到了一起交通事故。 ④That was why she spoke French so fluently. 那就是她说法语这么流利的原因。 即境活用

12.The reason________his health is getting worse and worse is________he drinks too much.

2【教材原句】 (P32)When_asked about the secret of his success，Steven Spielberg said that he owes much of his success and happiness to his wife and children.
当被问到他成功的秘密时，史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格说他的成功和快乐很大程度上要归功于他的妻子和孩子们。
【句法分析】 when asked“当被问到……”，相当于when he was asked，是“when
＋done”结构，此时过去分词与句子的主语是被动关系。英语中，当时间、条件等状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致或状语从句的主语是it且从句的谓语部分含be动词，这时可以把从句中的主语和be动词一起省略。
①Every evening after dinner，if not tired from work，I will spend some time walking my dog.
下班后如果不累，每天晚饭后，我将花点时间遛狗。 ②When (he was) asked，he gave good advice. 只要问他，他就提供好的建议。

13．(2020年高考大纲全国卷Ⅱ)Though________to see us，the professor gave us a warm welcome.
A．surprising B．was surprised C．surprised D．being surprised
解析：选C。句意：教授看到我们，虽然很惊讶，但还是热情地欢迎了我们。本题考查非谓语动词作状语。B项为谓语动词形式，故被排除；分析句子结构可知though后面省略了主语和谓语the professor was，而surprising表示事物的性质和特征，不符合语境；D项在结构上不正确。surprised表示人的心理感受，故答案为C项。
