重要句子解析
It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.
It为形式主语，真正主语是that从句。
As she turned around,there stood Gladys Claffern.
她刚一转过身去，就看到格拉迪斯.克拉芬站在那里。
there stood Gladys Claffern为倒装句。
在谓语为动词go,come.run.stand,live等表示位置转移的动词及be动词的句子中，为了强调句子中一些副词there,here,up,down,in,out,away等，可将副词置于句首，若这时主语是名词，句子用全部倒装；若是代词，则不用倒装。
①There comes the teacher and her students.
老师和她的学生们来了。
②Out rushed the boys.
男孩们冲了出去。
即境活用
-Look!There (B).
-Oh,there ( ).
A comes the bus;comes it
B comes the bus;it comes
C the bus comes.it comes
D the bus comes;comes it
答案：B
解析：考查全部倒装。注意主语是代词时，不到装，故选B。
Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.
1)to be offered 是不定式的被动式，在宾语从句中作真正的主语，it是形式主语。不定式的被动式可在句中作多种成分，是高考的热点之一。
【考例 1】The children talked so loudly at dinner table that I had to struggle (A).
A to be heard    B to have heard   C hearing    D being heard
[点拨]struggle to do sth.努力做某事，又因I与hear之间构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以用不定式的被动式，故选A.
【考例 2】It took a long time for the connection between body temperature and illness(B).
A to make   B to be made    C making   D being made
[点拨] 根据“It takes/took (sb.)+一段时间+to do sth."可排除C、D，再根据make与connection 构成动宾关系，所以用不定式的被动式，故选B.
2)sympathy  同情心，同感
express sympathy for     ....对...表示慰问
a letter of sympathy    慰问信
feel/have sympathy for..     同情....
I felt much sympathy for the blind.
be in sympathy with...      赞同....
But even though Tony had been so clever,he would have to be rebuilt--you can not have women falling in love with machines.
但是，尽管托尼很聪明，他还得经过一番改造----你总不能让女人与机器相爱吧。
have sb. doing  意为”叫/让/使某人某做事或让某种情况发生“。宾语后面用现在分词做宾语补足语，表示宾语与现在分词表示的动作之间为主动关系，且动作正在进行或一直进行。Won't have sb. doing意为“不让某人做某事”。
①Don't have the baby crying!不要让婴儿啼哭！
②You'd better have your car running slowly.
你最好把车子开慢点儿。
③I won't have you talking to your mother like that.
我不允许你这样与你妈妈说话。
拓展：(1)have sb. do 让某人做某事（do 表示动作由sb.发出）
(2)have sb./sth. done  使某事被别人做（sb./sth.与动词do构成动宾关系）
(3)have sth to do有事要做（to do做后置定语修饰sth,该不定式的动作由主语发出）
(4)have sth to be done 有事要做（to do 做后置定语修饰sth.但不定式的动作不是由主语发出的，而是别人)
①I'll have the gardener plant some trees.
我要让园丁种些树。
②Why don't you have your hair cut?
你为什么不理发？
③I have some clothes to wash.
