1．As we all know，an island is a piece of land surrounded(surround) by water. 解析：句意：我们都知道，岛屿是被水环绕的一块陆地。be surrounded by“被……环绕”。land与动词surround之间为被动关系，过去分词短语作后置定语。
2．Do you think that bridge measures(measure) 2,000 metres long? It doesn't appear that long. 解析：句意：你认为那座桥有2 000米长吗？似乎没那么长。measure在此表示“(测量后)有……长(宽、高、大等)”，无被动语态。
3．—Does Martin play the violin well? —Yes.Actually，he has a gift for that. 解析：句意：——马丁拉小提琴很好吗？——是的，事实上，他有那方面的天分。play后跟乐器名词时，名词前用定冠词；have a gift for...“有……的天分”，为固定搭配。

9．—What is your sister doing now?
—She is on the phone，chatting(chat) with one of her schoolmates. 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：——你的姐姐现在在做什么？——她在打电话，在和她的一位同学聊天。动词-ing在句中作伴随状语，动词chat与主语she之间为主动关系。
10．The young man was happy to sense that his dream was within reach. 解析：句意：这个年轻人感觉自己的梦想马上就可以实现了，他非常开心。within reach“触手可及，在附近”。
11．One of the teachers held the view thatwhat the book said was right. 解析：句意：其中一位老师坚信这本书所说是正确的。that引导同位语从句。

13．Once you get to know Mark，you'll find him a very pleasant person to_chat(chat) with，even though he doesn't look so.
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦你逐渐了解马克，你会发现他是一个与之聊天会很愉快的人，即使他看起来并非如此。a very pleasant person to chat with“一个与之聊天会很愉快的人”，to chat为不定式作后置定语，被修饰名词实际上作不定式的逻辑宾语。
14．When he turned around，he caught(catch) sight of Mr.Brown standing in the crowd. 解析：句意：当他转身时，他看见了布朗先生站在人群里。catch sight of“看见，瞥见”。 15．Hearing(hear) the good news，all the people present jumped with joy.
解析：句意：听到这个好消息，所有在场的人都高兴地跳了起来。根据句子结构特点，此处需要非谓语动词，hear与句子主语people之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。
