第四、语法点拨

1. Then he noticed that a boy, who had passed him a few minutes before,had returned...

要点解析1：换线部分是非线性性定语从句修饰前行词boy。

要点解析2：在过去完成时态中，表示多久前，before位于时间后。

2. He was too tired even to beg．

要点解析：这个句式是主语+系动词+too+adj.+to do something。

3. ... but he behaved as if he were an adult．

要点解析：划线部分由as if引导的让步状语从句要使用虚拟语气。这里用的是过去式：were。

4. ... but it looked as though it would blow off at any minute．

要点解析：划线部分是有as though引导的让步状语从句，要使用虚拟语气，这里的谓语结构是would blow off。

5. He wore a man"s coat which reached almost down to his feet, with sleeves so long that his hands were completely covered.

要点解析1：换线部分第一处是先行性定语从句修饰先行词coat。

要点解析2：第二处划线部分是有介词with引导的独立主格结构，做伴随状况状语。
