听力原文如下（阴影部分为答案核心内容）
It's 8 o'clock on Tuesday, May 1st. Here is the news: Between the hours of 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. last night, five thieves broke into the country house of Lord and Lady Chest-field on an island.(1)They entered by a window at the rear of the house and surprised the owners who were watching television in the drawing room.(2)After disconnecting the telephone and tying up Lord and Lady Chest-field, the thieves escaped with 16 precious paintings. The market value of such art work has been estimated at somewhere around 4 million pounds. Lord and Lady Chest-field were not seriously harmed but have been treated for shock in the hospital.
Early this morning a woman with a Scottish accent telephoned the Times in London to say that the Chest-field Organization for Freedom claimed the responsibility for the theft. This is the third time this year that this organization has claimed the responsibility for an act of this kind. The organization defends all the farmers on the island. The farmers were forced to leave their lands when Lord Chest-field, their landlord, refused to renew their traditional lease last year in order to extend the reservation area for birds.

原文：The silence was suddenly broken when a large car(S), with its headlights(S')on and its horn(S')blaring, roared down(V)the arcade.
译文：宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街。
• 独立主格：（主语不一致的分词作状语）句子的主语(S)在发生动作(V)时，这个主语本身的一部分(S')在做另一个动作(V')。这另一个动作(V')处于从属地位（通过加with表达），为了不抢主句(S+V)的风头，不能用谓语动词的形式表达，只能下降为非谓语动词。常用以下6种非谓语动词形式表示：to do不定式/V-ing分词/V-ed分词/形容词/副词/介词短语。
• 常见结构：S + V , with S' + to do/doing/done/adj./adv./prep. + n.
• 写作中何时使用：在描写句子主语发生的主要动作时，需要对主语做细节描写，使句子细致、生动。
本课中还有另一处此类用法，一起看看吧。请在原文上划出(S)、(V)、(S')及独立主格结构，并判断用的是6种非谓语动词形式中的哪一种。

Art Falls Victim to Smash and Grab（艺术品砸窗抢劫案）
Who's stealing the art?
That question has gripped many here in recent days after a string of thefts at galleries, Persian-rug dealers and high-end clothing stores culminated in the theft July 27 of two Picasso prints from Austin's most exclusive gallery, the Russell Collection.
In each case, the thieves' method has been primitive: smashing a business's glass windows and doors with a large rock, then fleeing with the stolen goods.
Detectives at the Austin Police Department have estimated losses from each of the eight incidents at $10,000 to more than $120,000.
The taste of the cultural thieves who have focused on Austin varies, with the Picassos at one end of the scale. At Artworks, a large gallery and framing studio, thieves made away with two large bronze sculptures by artists from California and Utah, respectively, as well as a collection of gold jewelry from India.
