解析：选B。根据前面的“引进了现代化的耕作方法”和连词than来判断，村民的生活比以前“更富裕了”，所以用well off的比较级better off。worse off是badly off的比较级。‎ ‎7.pick out　挑出；辨别出 ‎(回归课本P18)Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were

out－appear出现，露面；bring out－cause sth.to appear，publish sth.使显出，出版；call out－shout，cry大声叫喊，大声说出；pick out－distinguish ‎ sb./sth.from surrounding people or things分辨出某人(某物)。从句意判断，答案应为pick out。‎ ‎【教材原句】　Unfortunately his father died，leaving the family even worse off...‎ 不幸的是他的父亲去世了，整个家庭状况更糟了……‎ ‎【句法分析】　leaving...为现在分词短语作结果状语。现在分词作结果状语，表示顺其自然的结果。‎ ‎①His parents died，leaving him an orphan.‎ 他父母双亡，成了孤儿。‎ ‎②The child fell，striking his head against the door.‎ 小孩摔了一跤，头在门上碰了一下。‎ ‎③European football is played in 80 countries，making it the most popular sport in the world.‎ 八十个国家踢欧式足球，使它成为世界上最流行的运动。‎ ‎【温馨提示】　现在分词作结果状语常表示“意料、情理之中”，而不定式作结果状语常表出乎意料的结果。‎ ‎④He hurried to the bus stop，only to find the bus had left.‎ 他匆匆地去了车站，结果发现车已离开。‎ ‎⑤Her father disappeared，never to be heard from again.‎ 她的父亲离家出走，从此杳无音讯。‎ ‎⑥He hurried to the airport only to be told the plane had been put off.‎ 他匆忙赶到机场，结果被告知航班推迟了。‎ ‎[即境活用]　‎ ‎8．(2010年高考重庆卷)The news shocked the public，__________to great concern about students’ safety at school.‎ A．having led　　　　　　 B．led C．leading D．to lead 解析：选C。句意：这条新闻使广大民众感到很震惊，引起了人们对在校学生安全的担忧。考查非谓语动词作结果状语。首先排除B和D两项；having done 指动作先于谓语动词发生，在此不符合语境，故只能选择C。‎ ‎9．(2011年成都外国语学校模拟)Oil prices have risen________32 percent since last year，________a record $‎84.65 a barrel on Nov.9.‎ A．by；reached B．by；reaching C．by；to reach D．to；reaching 解析：选B。考查介词的用法及非谓语动词的用法。介词by表程度，reaching短语在句中作结果状语。不定式也可作结果状语，但常与only或just连用，表示一种意想不到的结果。‎ ‎10．(2011年绵阳诊断)The financial crisis that originated(源于)on Wall Street swept the world，thus________large numbers of workers jobless.‎ A．leaving B．to leave C．left D．have left 解析：选A。考查非谓语动词的用法。动词leave与其逻辑主语the financial crisis之间是主谓关系，所以用leaving...作结果状语，相当于which left...。‎ 作文指导 主动句和被动句的变换 什么时候用被动，什么时候用主动，主要是由陈述对象决定的。英语写作中特别强调陈述对象的一致性，因此考生在选择主动和被动时一定要慎重。‎ 主动变被动 ‎1．不需体现动作的执行者。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ It will certainly produce a great change in the world’s communications.‎ A great change will certainly be produced in the world’s communications. ‎ ‎【分析】　本句强调“a great change”，使用被动语态会使其更符合英文表达。‎ ‎2.需要强调动作的承受者。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ The earthquake destroyed many buildings and houses on May 12th,2008.‎ Many buildings and houses were destroyed by the earthquake on May 12th,2008.‎ ‎【分析】　为了强调“many buildings and houses”被毁坏，用被动语态更好。‎ ‎3.保持陈述对象的一致，以求行文连贯。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ My mother’s words moved me，and I felt so ashamed for my stubbornness.‎ I was so moved by my mother’s words，and I felt so ashamed for my stubbornness.‎ ‎【分析】　为了保证两个句子的主语一致，把第1个句子变为被动语态，以使句子连贯。‎ 被动变主动 ‎1．需要体现动作的执行者。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ Now listening more to their children is paid more attention to by most parents，so they will understand them better.‎ Now most parents pay more attention to listening more to their children，so they will understand them better.‎ ‎【分析】　本句想表达“现在父母们更注重倾听孩子们了”，因此句子要体现“most parents”的行为，因此用主动语态。‎ ‎2.保持陈述对象的一致，以求行文连贯。‎ ‎【佳句选粹】‎ ‎【原文】‎ ‎【优化】‎ If we don’t know how the wastes should be used，we can sell them to the recycling station.‎ If we don’t know how to use the wastes，we can sell them to the recycling station.‎ ‎【分析】　原文中if引导的从句中的宾语从句 (how the...used) 的被动语态导致 if 从句中前后陈述对象混乱，影响了句意的明晰和语言的流畅。‎
