1.Fantastic facts about the butterfly have been drawing Dr. Taylor’s attention.
draw one’s attention 引起某人的注意
句中的have been drawing 是现在完成进行时，它由“助动词 have (has) + been + 现在分词”构成，当主语是第三人称单数时用助动词has，其他情况用助动词have。现在完成进行时主要表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，这个动作是否延续下去，要根据上下文而定。
它往往与表示一段时间的时间状语连用，如：all the time, this month, all day, these few days, for a year, since a week ago等。

almost和nearly这两个词都表示“几乎”，“差不多”的意思，在不少场合可以互换使用，但有以下区别：
