[点拨1] 本句是一个由and连接的并列句，其中，long before 引导时间状语从句，进一步解释说明tens of millions of years ago，意为“在……之前很久”。注意：before long 意为“不久以后”。;;如： I knew Tom long before I knew you. 我在认识你之前很久就认识汤姆了。 We hope to finish our experiment before long. 我们希望不久就把实验做完。;It ___ long before we___ the result of the experiment. A. will not be; will know B. is; will know C. will not be; know D. is; know;2. When scientists inspected the bones, they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees. [点拨] 本句中的to find that ...是不定式作原因状语。不定式用来表原因时，常修饰表示情感、心理状态、性格等的形容词，如：;happy， glad，lucky， fortunate， surprised， angry，anxious， cruel， clever， frightened，shocked， sorry， eager， proud，disappointed， foolish， impatient，unwise， naughty等。如：;We were surprised to see him. 我们真想不到会见到他。 We are proud to be young people of new China. 作为新中国的青年，我们感到很骄傲。 You were foolish to act like that. 你那样做很愚蠢。;3. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. [点拨] 本句中when引导定语从句，其先行词为incident。关系副词when 的先行词一般是表时间的名词，如: He came last night when I was out. 但有时并不直接是表时间的名词，
