1、As a result, many of them died out.
结果，许多物种消亡了。
as a result和as a result of都是“结果”的意思，但as a result在句中作插入语，

①He had a road accident. As a result, he stayed in hospital for a whole mouth.
他出了一次车祸，结果在医院躺了整整一个月。
此句可用as a result of转换：
As a result of a road accident, he stayed in hospital for a whole mouth.
2、What other endangered species do you know?
你还知道有哪些其它濒于灭绝的物种呢？
endangered是动词的过去分词作形容词，在此作定语修饰名词species。在英语中，动
词的过去分词表示被动（如interested，inspired），“感到……的”或“被……的”的
意思，动词的现在分词（如exciting，interesting），表示主动，常译为“令人……的”，
过去分词和现在分词在句子中都可以作定语修饰名词。

我们什么时候把（被）更正过的作业还给他们？

语，它前面的animals和plants是disappear意义上的主语，是主动关系；这种意义上
的主语常使用名词、名词所有格、代词的所有格或代词宾格的形式。
①He is proud of his father being a famous scientist.（名词）
