down in history,ancient and modern,Chinese and foreign,are alldoers rather than onlookers.本句包含一个who引导的定语从句，先行词为Those,.所以系动词用的是are;ancient and modern,Chinese and foreign是插入语。2.Without his continuous experiments,he would not have invented so many devices that have greatlyinfluenced people's life around the world,including the phonograph,the motion picture camera,and ofcourse,the long-lasting,practical electric light bulb.本句含有一个含蓄条件句的虚拟语气，without意思是“要不是，如果不是，没有”，并且说的是过去的事情，所以主句用的是would have done的形式，表示“如果不是当时…，就不会有现在的结果”。3.However,nowadays it is common to see people just stand aside and keep complaining but be reluctant toparticipate.本句中it是形式主语，不定式短语to see people just stand aside...participate是真正的主语。4.In terms of environmental protection,for instance,many people living in big cities complain that the frequentheavy haze pollution messes them up.本句包含一个hat引导的宾语从句；现在分词短语living in big cities作定语，修饰people,.相当于一个定语从句：many people who are living in big cities。.PartⅡListening
