本资料来自于资源最齐全的21世纪教育网www.21cnjy.com 人教版英语教材高一重难点总结 Unit 1 Good Friends 一、语法 Direct and Indirect Speech(1) 直接引语和间接引语 1.直接引语在改为间接引语时,时态需要做相应的调整。 eg: "I broke your CD player."(一般过去时改成过去完成时) He told me he had broken my CD player. Jenny said,"I have lost a book."(现在完成时改成过去完成时) Jenny said she had lost a book. Mum said,"I’ll go to see a friend."(一般将来时改成过去将来时) Mum said she would go to see a friend. He said,"We hadn't finished our homework."(过去完成时保留原有的时态) He said they hadn't finished their homework. 注意:直接引语是客观真理,过去进行时,时态不变。 2.在直接引语变间接引语时,如果从句中的主语时第一人称或被第一人称所修饰,从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化。如: Mary said,"My brother is an engineer." Mary said her brother was and engineer. 3.直接引语如果是反意疑问句,选择疑问句或一般疑问句,间接引语应改为由whether或if引导的宾语从句。如: He said,"Can you run, Mike?" He asked Mike whether/if he could run. 4.直接引语如果是祈使句,间接引语应改为“tell(ask, order, beg等) sb (not) to do sth”句型。如: "Pass me the water, please."said he. He asked him to pass her the water. 5.直接引语如果是以“Let's”开头的祈使句,变为间接引语时,通常用“suggest+动名词或从句”的结构。如: She said,"Let’s go to the cinema." She suggested going to the cinema.(或She suggested that they should go to the cinema.) 二、聚焦高频考点 1.倒装句型:前句为肯定句,后句用so+谓语+主语,意为“某人也……”。如: She likes dogs. So do I. 前句为否定句,后句用neither/nor+谓语+主语,意为“某人也不……”。如: The girl has no brothers or sisters. Neither/Nor have I. 2.lonely, alone和lone alone=by oneself, without others lonely=unhappy because one is always away from his family or friends,“孤独地”“寂寞的”,暗示主观上的“孤独”“寂寞”,渴望有伴。也可以表示“地方的荒凉”。 lone也有“孤独的,孤零零的一个”,作定语。 eg: I'm alone but I'm not lonely. I can see only one lone star in the cloudy sky. leave sth alone表示“不去理会,不要去管某事”。如: Leave me alone!别理我! Let alone“更不用说”。如: He can't speak Japanese, let alone write it. 作形容词时,alone不能与very连用, 而与much连用,即说much alone或very much alone或all alone;而lonely可与very连用:very lonely. 3.treat sb. as ...把某人当作……来对待 The old man treated the orphan as his own son. “把某人看作……”有以下几种说法: regard sb as ...=consider sb as ...=think of sb as ... “把……误当作……”: take ... for ...如: People sometimes take a rope for a snake. 4.care about表示“关心,计较,在乎”,一般用于否定句。如: I don't care about going to the cinema. care for表示“关心,照料,喜欢”,如: She cared more for new clothes than for anything else. 5.make friends with sb.和……人交朋友。如: We have made a lot of friends with the different people all over the world. 6.hunt for“竭力寻找”,在很多情况下,look for与search for或hunt for互换。如: I hunted for the missing book everywhere. be after表示“搜寻”“寻找”的状态,不指具体的动作。如: That's what I am after. 7.such as用来列举同类人或事物中的几个例子,有时可与like互换,但such as用于列举时可分开使用。而for example一般只举同类人或物中的“一个”为例,作插入语,用逗号隔开,可置于句首句中或句末。 My brother likes collecting different kinds of things, such as coins, books. 三、常用词语和句型 1.be into sth.对……感兴趣,非常喜欢……(非正式英语) eg: I'm not into classical music. 2.be fond of酷爱,非常喜欢,与enjoy相近,比like感情强。 eg: In his life, he is fond of English. 3.boring主语为物,如: The book is boring. bored主语为人,如: He is bored. 4.survive幸存;活下来;残存;继续存在。 He survived the traffic accident.

UNIT13 Healthy eating 一、课文背景知识 随着社会的不断进步,人们对吃什么以及怎么吃也越来越讲究。过去,人们主要的奋斗目标是一天三餐饭能吃饱就不错了。现在,人们不仅吃主食而且还吃零食以补充所需的养料。十多年以前,人们争着在街上买肥肉,然而,今天街上的肥肉没人要,因为肉制品多了,因为生活水平提高了,更因为人们更加了解了体内所需的营养物质。人们开始选择健康的食品。如果我们要跟上现代生活的步伐,我们最好学会正确的选择吃什么以及怎么吃。商店的事物各种各样,我们不得不进行多项选择。当我们选择我们想要买和想要吃的东西的时候,我们最好想一想这些食物是否提供了我们所需的营养。但是,事实上,我们做出的选择不仅是营养方面的。许多人今天的饮食习惯是信什么吃什么。饮食习惯成了我们信仰中不可分割的部分:素食主义者有的认为不吃肉身体要更健康些,有的则是不主张杀动物为食者。另外一些严守素食主义者则根本不吃动物制品,甚至连酸奶酪和鸡蛋都不吃。我们对产品作出的选择还决定于生产和加工方式,要是环保性的或者说是生态性的食物,是厂家用绿色而有清洁的方式生产出来的食物。有机蔬菜是指生长过程中没有使用对人体和环境有害的化学药品的蔬菜。因为我们有如此多的东西供选择,因此许多商家对我们吃什么就提出 了一些建议。书刊杂志和电视媒体向我们介绍不同保健类型需要的食物和药品,然而,真正比较好的选择是花时间和钱买好的食品并且保持饮食的平衡,多锻炼。 人们应该更多地了解自己的身体以及我们身体所需的养料,以便我们对生活中所面临的机遇和挑战有充分的准备。 二、疑难详解 1. Choosing what to eat is no longer as easy as it once was. 我们在选择吃的东西方面,现在不像过去一样简单了。 [问]as在此处作何解释? [答]作连词,表示比较。又如:My hometown is no longer the same as it was. 我的家乡同过去不一样了。 2. if we want to keep up with the high pace of modern life, we had better learn to make the right choices about what and how we eat. 如果我们要跟上现代生活的步伐,我们最好学会正确的选择吃什么以及怎么吃。 [问]如何分析此句? [答]这里if引导的是条件状语从句,we had better ...是主句,what and how we eat 是宾语从句做about的宾语。keep up with 赶上,跟上,had better最好。 3. When we choose what to buy and eat, we had better think if the food will give us the nutrients we need. 当我们选择我们想要买和想要吃东西的时候,我们最好想一想这些食物是否提供了我们所需要的 营养。 [问]这个句子中有三个从句,对吗? [答]对。when..., 是时间状语从句;if...是宾语从句;we need是定语从句。 4. Some nutrients help build our body and amke it stronger. 一些食物有助于我们增强体魄。 [问]build our body and make it stronger 一起做help的宾语吗? [答]是的。 5. Caicium, which is found in eggs, milk and other dairy products, is good for our bones and teeth. [问]which is found in eggs, milk and other dairy product 是定语从句吗? [答]是的。而且引导词which在从句中作主语,代替calcium。 6. Other nutrients help keep our body functioning well. 其他的营养物有助于我们的身体正常运转。 [问]function在这里作动词吗? [答]是的。在这里“起作用”等的意思。 7. But the choices we make are not just about nutrion. 但是,我们做出的选择不仅是营养方面的。 [问]we make 又是定语从句? [答]是的。make choices 是“作出选择”的意思。引导词which/that 作宾语,可以省去。 8. Eating habits become part of who we are: people become vegetarians either because they believe it is healthier not to eat meat or because they so not think we should kill animals for food. 饮食习惯成了我们信仰中不可分割的部分;素食主义者有的认为不吃肉身体要更健康些,有的则是不主张杀动物为食者。 [问]这么长的句子,怎么分析? [答]主句是:Eating habits become part of who we are. Eather..., or... 引导两个because 原因状语从句。 9. We also make choices based on how the products are grown or made: environmentally friendly foods, or "eco-foods", are made by companies who have tried to use green and clean ways to make the foods. 我们对产品的作出的选择还决定于生产和加工方式,要是环保性的或者说是生态性的食物,是厂家用绿色而又清洁的方式生产出来的食物。 [问]此句是否定语从句中套定语从句。 [答]对。that are grown without chemicals 做vegetables 的定语;that can be harmful to human beings and the environment 做chemicals 的定语。 11. If our diet includes foods from all the food groups, in the right amounts, we so not have to buy any supplements. 如果我们食物品种多,数量恰当,我们就不需要买任何补给品。 [问]请解释此句中的if结构和do not have to 相当与need't。 12. The same goes for "crash diets" that some companies say will make us lose weight fast. 对于一些公司所宣称可以让我们减肥的减肥餐也如此。 [问]that some companies say will make us lose weight fast 起什么作用? [答]定语从句。that 在从句中作主语代替“crash diets"。 13. Instead of eating expensive diet foods or going on unhealthy diets, we can simply try to eat less fat and sugar and exercise more. 我们不需要去吃那些昂贵的固定饮食或者不健康的饮食, 只需要少吃脂肪和糖, 多锻炼就行了。 [问]请问intead of 介词短语? [答]instead of 是介词短语, 表示“代替”的意思。 14. The best way to make sure that we will feel and look fine is to develop healthy eating habits. 保健的最好方式是养成健康的饮食习惯。 [问]这句话的主句究竟是什么? [答]The best way is to develop healthy eating habits 是这句话的主句 to make sure that we will feel and look fine 不定式短语做定语, 修饰the best way. 15. We ought to learn more about our body and the fuel it needs so that we can make sure that we are well prepared for the challenges and opportunities in life. 我们应该更多地了解自己的身体以及我们身体所需的养料, 以便我们对生活中所面临的机遇和挑战有充分的准备。 [问]so that 是什么意思? [答]so that 是“以便”的意思,常引导结果状语从句。 16. That means that sandwich or a salad is a good choice, but a chocolate bar or a bag of patato chips is not. 也就是说,要选择三明治和色拉之类的而不是选择巧克力和炸土豆条。 [问]如何分析此句句子 成分? [答]“That" 是主语, “mean" 是谓语, 后面整个that引导的两个并列从句是宾语,第二个从句“is not" 后省略了a good choice. 三、本单元高考热点归纳与拓展 [概述] 本单元重点语法是 had better,should 和 ought to 等情态动词的用法。象其他的情态动词一样,had better, should 和 ought to 后面跟动词原形。ought to 与 should 都表示“应该”的意思。had better 表示“最好”的意思。如:You had better get some rest.你最好休息一会儿。You had better not eat fruit that isn't ripe. 你最好不要吃没有成熟的水果。You should/ought to be careful with fruit. 你们应该小心水果。You should not/ought to eat so much junk food. 你不应该吃这么多垃圾食品。 [经典解析] 例:1.I didn't hear the phone. I_____asleep. (1989年全国高考题) A. must be B.must have been C.should be D.should have been 简析:答案B。从 didn't 可知是过去的事情。“当时我一定睡着了”。表示对过去的事情进行肯定推测要用must+have+动词的过去分词。而 shuold have been asleep 则表示过去该睡着而没有睡着,与前面的意思不相符。 例:2.He ______ you more help, even though he was very busy. (1990年全国高考题) A: might have given B: might give C: may have given D: may give 简析:答案A。从was可知是对过去的事情表示推测,应该用情态动词+have+动词的过去分词,排除B、D。根据“当时他非常忙”的事实,他可能给你更大的帮助的可能性很小,所以选 might 比选 may 好。 例:3.—Could I borrow your dictionary? —Yes,of course you_____. (1992年全国高考题) A.might B.will C.can D.should 简析:答案C。文句中用 could 是委婉地提出要求,答句中从 of course 可知道,应该非常肯定地同意,所以用can。 例:4.It's nesrly seven o'clock. Jack _____be here at any moment. (1995年全国高考题) A.must B.need C.should D.can 简析:答案C。must一定;need需要;should可能,该;can能。 例:5.—write to me when you get home. (2001年春季高考题) —_____. A.I must B.I should C.I will D.I can 简析:答案C。前者发出请求。后者表示应允“我会的”。will用于第一人称,表示有意识的行动,表现为意愿,意志等。 透视情态动词的考试不仅如此,在阅读等方面,它会经常出现。掌握情态动词的用法关系到我们能否正确理解文章大意的问题,直接影响着我们的做题。 四、本单元生词详解 1. sweet [swi:t]adj. 填的,甜味的;芳香的,新鲜的;悦耳的,动听的;亲切的,温柔的,温和的;惬意的//n. 糖果;甜食;布丁;(餐后的)一道甜食 例:The foowers sweet. 这些花闻起来香。 How sweet the music sounds! 这音乐多么美妙动听!

[答]非限定性的定语从句。引导词when在定语从句中作时间状语。如:1、He was born in 1949, when China was liberated by the PLA. 他出生于1949年,中国人民解放军在那是解放了中国。 4. Dr Karenga chose the word because there are many festivals in Africa called "the first-fruit"festivals. 卡伦格博士之所以选择这个词是因为在非洲很多节日都是被称作“第一果”的节日。 [问]如何解释because结构和called the first -fruit 结构? [答]because 引导的从句在句中作原因状语,called the first -fruit 结构?[答]beause 引导的从句在句中作原因状语,called过去分词短语在句中作定语。如:This is the student nameed Jack. 这就是名叫Jack. 这就是名叫Jack的那个学生。 5. The African first fruit festivals had many things in common: people would get together to celebrate their harvest; people would get together to celebrate their harvest; people used to give thanks for their harvests and for life; people used to honour their harvests and for life; people used to honour their ancestors, celebrate their past, and the group or society they lived in. 非洲的第一果节日有很多相同之处:人们总是聚集到一起庆祝他们的丰收;为他们的生活和丰收而表示感谢;人们常常对他们的祖先表示尊敬,对他们的过去,以及他们生活的团体和社会表示庆祝。 [问]people would get together to celebrate their harvest; people would get together to celebrate their harvest; people used to give thanks for their harvests and for life; people used to honour their harvests and for life; people used to honour their ancestors, celebrate their past, and the group or society they lived in. 为并列句吗?[答]可以这么分析。并列的三个部分对前面所说明many things in common进行解释。 6.

This way, people who celebrate Kwanzaa can enjoy the spirit of the holidays without all the commercial activities of Christmas. 这样,庆祝宽扎节的人们就能尽情享受节日带来的快乐,不需再为圣诞节的商业活动而去操心了。 [问]who celebrate Kwanzaa 是定语从句吗?[答]是的。who是该从句的引导词。在从句中作主语,指人。如:This is the man who has been to hte moon. 这就是曾经登上月球的那个人。 10. Since Kwanzaa is a time for learning as well as joy, people celebrate it by lighting a candle each day and discussing one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. 由于宽扎文化节是一个既娱乐又学习的时间,所以,人们常常每天点着蜡烛讨论宽扎文化节的原则,以此来庆祝这个节日。 [问]Since Kwanzaa is a time for learning as well as joy是原因状语从句吗?[答]是的。Since引导的原因状语从句常常表示说话双方共同知道的原因。如:Since everybody is here, let's begin our class. 既然大家都在这儿,我们就开始上课吧! 11. The candle is usually lit by the youngest child in the family. 蜡烛常常由家中最小的孩子点燃。 [问]lit从何而来?[答]lit是light的过去式和过去分词,在这里是“点燃”的意思。如:1、This wood is so damp that it won't light. 这木头湿,点不着。2、These streets are very poorly lit. 这些街道的照明很差。 12、On the last day of Kwanzaa, family and friends gather to enjoy a large meal and to celebrate the new year. 在宽扎文化节的最后一天,家庭成员和朋友们聚集在一起进餐,庆祝新年。 [问]to enjoy a large meal and to celebrate the new year作何解释?[答]两个并列的不定式作目的状语。 13.

[答]是的。动词ing在句子中不仅可以作主语,而且还可以做状语、宾语和表语等。如:(1)My job is learning. 我的工作就是学习。(learning在句中作表语) (2)He stood there, reading a magazine. 他站在那儿看杂志。(reading a magazine 在句中作状语,表示伴随。) 14. As we cledbrate them, we make new history and develop our culture. 当我们在庆祝它们的时候,我们是在写新的历史篇章和发展我们的文化。 [问]as究竟有些什么用法?[答]as的用法很多。 (1)作为:We often regard him as our teacher. 我们常把他当作我们的老师。(2)当……的时候:As he grew older he lost interest in everything except gardening. 他年纪越来越大,除了喜欢园艺外,对一切都是失去了兴趣。 (4)因为(常放在句首)As she's been ill, perhaps she'll need help.她由于生病可能需要些帮助。 (5)尽管,虽然(用于形容词或者副词等的后面);Young as I am, I already know what career I want to follow. 尽管我还小,但对要从事职业已经胸有成竹了。 15.

The week following Chrismas Day, many African - American families get together to greet the new year and think about the past. 2、The African first fruit festivals had many things in common:people would get together to celebrate their harvest;people used to give thanks for their harvests and for life;people used to honour their ancestors,celebrate their past,and the group or society they lived in . The festival were a way to celebrate history and culture, a way to build society, and a way to celebrate the new year. 非谓语动词顾名思义就是不能做谓语的动词。动词一旦变成过去分词、不定式和动词ing后,就再也不能在句子中做谓语了,这时,我们就叫它非谓语动词。 本单元除了讲非谓语动词很多以外,我们还可以见到这样几个句型结构:1、so...that...; 如此……以致于……。2、so that...以便……;3、used to 过去常常。以上几者可都是高考的重点了。 [经典解析] 例:1. nobody noticed the thief slip into the house because the lights happened to_____. (1998年全国高考第12题) A. be put up B. give in C. to be turned on D.go out 简析:答案D。“……因为碰巧灯灭了”。go out 表示“(灯、火等)熄灭”;turn on 表示“打开(电灯、水龙头等)”;give in 表示“屈服”;go out 表示“熄灭”的意思。 例:2、The managers discussed the plan that they would like to see_____ the next year. (2000年全国高考第22题) A. carry out B. carrying out C.carried out D.to carry out 简析:答案C。所要填的部分是宾语的补足语。这句话的宾语是that。宾语和宾语补足语之间是被动关系。 例:3、_____late in the morning, Bob turned off the alarm. A.

Do you know the boy_____under the big tree? (1989年全国高考题) A. lay B.lain C.laying D.lying 解析:答案为D。现在分词短语 lying under the big tree“正躺在大树下”做定语,修饰 boy。用“躺”的现在分词表示“主动”和“进行”的概念。注意记准:放、下蛋:lay—laid—laid—laying;躺:lie—lay—lain—lying;说谎:lie—lied—lied—lying。 例:2、 Is_____necessary to complete the design before National Day? (1989年全国高考题) A. this B. that C. it D. he 简析:答案为C。这里要填的是形式主语。只有it才能做形式主语或形式宾语。真正的主语是不定式“to com- plete the design...”。 例:3.Most of the artists_____to the party were from South Africa. (1990年全国高考题) A. invited B. to invite C. being invited D.had been invited 简析:答案为A。主语与谓语之间“were”的部分是主语的定语。如果是从句做主语,应为“who had been invited”,还缺充当从句主语的关系词 who,故不选D。“邀请”和“艺术家”的关系应为被动的,排除B。“邀请”应先于谓语动词,所以用过去分词,选A。而C是现在分词的被动式,表示“正在”,而谓语动词“同时”或与说话时“同时”,明显是错误的。 例:4、The visiting minister expressed his satisfaction with the talks,_____ that he had enjoyed his stay here. (1994年全国高考题) A. having added B. to add C. adding D. added 简析:答案为C。与谓语动词“”是两个同时发生的动作,可以用现在分词表示伴随的动作;因为A用了完成式,“补充说到”发生在“表达”之前,不合逻辑,排除A。D表示两个并列的谓语动词,但缺少并列连词,因此不能选D。而B不定式表示目的:“为了补充说……于是就表达了……”不符合逻辑。 例:5. The number of people invited _____ fifty, but a number of them ______ absent for different reasons. (1996年全国高考题) A. were; was B. was; was C. was; were D. were; were 简析:答案为C。The number of 与单数动词配用,排除A、D。a number of 与复数动词连用,排除A、B。 例:6. Cleaning women in big cities usually get ______ by an hour.. (1998年全国高考题) A. pay B. paying C. paid D. to pay 简析:答案为C。“按小时付报酬”与主语是被动关系,应选过去分词paid。被动语态除了可由“be+过去分词”构成外,还可以由“get+过去分词”构成。 例:7. Peper money was in ______ use in China when Marco Polo visited the country in _____ thir- teenth century. (1999年全国高考题) A. the; 不填 B. the; the C. 不填; the D. 不填; 不填 简析:答案为C。本题主要考察冠词的用法。in use 是习惯用法,use 前不加冠词;在序数词(thirteen)前面要加定冠词。因此要选C。 例:8. The result of the experiment was very good, _____ we hadn't expected. (2000年全国高考题) A. when B. that C. which D. what 简析:答案为C。此处为非限定性定语从句,排除D( what 不能引导定语从句)和B( that 不能引导非限制性定语从句)。因为关系词在从句中要做动词( expected )的宾语,因此要用关系代词 which,排除关系副词when。 例:10. John said he'd been working in the office for an hour, _____ was true. (2001年春季高考题) A. he B. this C. which D. Who 简析:答案为C。这里是考查非限制性定语从句。需要用关系词,排除A和B。先行词代表前面整个句子所说的内容,因此关系词要用 which,而不能用表人的 who。 三、本单元生词详解 1. experiment [iks5perimEnt]n. 实验,试验//vi.进行实验(on,with) 例:They made the school a place for scientific experiment. 他们把学校变成一个科学实验的场所。 We made an experiment to explain air pressure. 我们做过一个实验来解释空气的压力。 Scientific truths are proved by experiments. 科学真理是通过实验来证实的。 [记忆技巧]联想记忆 experimental adj. 实验(性)的,试验(性)的 [常用词组]experiments on frogs 用青蛙做实验/experiment with new teaching methods 新教学方法的试验 (=try; conduct; carry out)an experiment in chemistry 做化学实验/make experiment in physics 要物理实验。 2. gas [^As]n. 煤气;可燃气;气体;汽油 例:Air is a mixture of gases. 空气是几种气体的混合物。 Oxygen is one of the gases. 氧气是气体的一种。 Most matter has three states; solid, liquid and gas. 大多数物质具有三种状态:固态、液态和气态。 She cooks with gas.

As time went on, things began to change. 随着时间的流逝,情况开始发生变化。 2.辨析Dark 和 darkness: (1)两词均可表“黑暗”,“夜色”之意,但 dark 通常指较长时间的情况,且常与 the 连用,darkness 则指暂时的情况,不常与 the 连用。如: Cats can see in the dark. 猫能在黑暗中看见东西。 The room was in complete darkness. 室内一片漆黑。 (2)作“傍晚”讲时,应用 dark,且前面通常不加 the,此时,不可用 darkness 替换。如: before / after / at dark 在天黑以前/天黑以后/天黑时。 3.辨析 discover 和 invent: 前者表示“发现”,即发现本来存在但未知晓的事物(常指地方或科学事实);后者表示“发明”,即“产生原来没有的东西”,如: Gillbert discovered electricity, but Edison invented the light bulb. 吉尔伯发现了电,而爱迪生发明了灯泡。 Unit17 Famous women 一、课文背景知识 本单元的话题是世界杰出女性 居里夫人(1877-1934) 原子能时代的开创者之一,世界上第一个两次诺贝尔奖获得者,二十世纪最有声望的女人—居里夫人。 癌,这个吞噬人们生命的怪物,在人类历史的长河中,曾几何时奔荡不羁,象战争的罪犯,给人们留下痛苦和死亡。人们无时无刻不在寻找同它斗争的武器。可是,一个世纪又一个世纪地过去了,直到二十世纪初,波兰伟大的科学家玛丽.居里——斯克洛道夫斯卡和她的丈夫埃尔.居里发现了一个新的放射性元素——镭。它可以破坏被病毒侵蚀了的细胞,然后构成新的、健康的细胞组织。这样,镭就成了治癌的有利武器。 居里夫人历经磨难,但意志坚强,且鄙视名利。她光辉的一生足以照亮她所生活的那个时代。她给我们以深刻的教益和启迪。一次,有一位报社记者前来采访这位科学家,想把她的事迹报道出去。她坚定地回答:“在科学上重要的是研究出来的‘东西’,不是研究者的‘个人’。她还说,”人必须有耐心,特别是要有信心”,我们应该相信,自己对于某种事业有特殊的才干,并且应该不惜任何代价来完成这个事业。” 有名的学者爱因斯坦曾经这样评价居里夫人:“在我所认识的所有著名人物里面,居里夫人是唯一不为盛名所颠倒的人。” Mother Teresa(1990-1997) 一位天使英雄(angel hero),一生为普通民众行善的修女,有一段评价为证——“on September5, 1997, late in the evening around 9:30 p.m., Mother Teresa goes to Heaven in the Mother house in Calcutta. Totally finished and worn out, as she had given herself totally, wholeheartedly, freely and unconditionally to the poorest of the poor, for the love of jesus."” Helen Thayer 著名的探险家和作家(Adventurer and author),第一位独立到北极,和撒哈拉沙漠的女性(first solo woman to make the North Pole trekking, the first woman to walk across the Sahara Desert)。 Thayer 有很多精彩的话语,既反映了他的真实心态,也激励着千万人不畏艰难挑战人生。这里仅列举几则——”push on even when it seems impossible." ," A goal is only a dream if you don't have a plan." ;" My journey was like life itself," " We all have our problems as we traver to our goals, but we cai all reach our goals just as I did, one step at a time, never giving up on ourselves. If we reach for the top and believe we can do it, we can all make our dreams come true."; "Age is no barrier to your dreams and goals," ;"We regard our bodies as finely tuned machines that have to be maintained," "Once people start thinking they're over the hill, they are." ;" I like to see what's on the other side of the hill." 。 Oprah Winfrey 美国著名电视节目主持人( a successful TV personality,entertainment executive ),她出身黑人家庭,但事业卓群,她的娱乐节目有极高的艺术性,也富有浓郁的人情味,因而被誉为“荧屏常青树”,获得系列殊荣,“Oprah Winfrey was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th century by Time Magazine,and in 1998 received a lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences。 When Forbes magazine published its list of America'a billionaires for the year 2003, it disclosed that Oprah Winfrey was the first African-American woman to become a billionaire. 二、疑难详解 1. Alone in Antarctica 独自在南极 [问]alone的含义和用法是怎样的? [答]作为形容词,along 意为“单独地,独自地,独一无二的”, 一般用作表语,用在名词或代词之后时为“只有,唯有,仅仅”等, alone还可用作副词,意为“单独;独自”,例如:He was alone in the house .他独自一人在家里。 I am not alone in thinking so. 并非只有我才这样想的。 Smith alone knew what happened. 只有史密斯知道发生了什么事。 [习惯用法]all alone独自一人,孤零零地; leave sb. (sth.) alone 听其自然,不要去管,让某人(某物)独自留在那儿;let sb. (sth). alone 听其自然,不要去管,让某人(某物)独自留在那儿;leave severely alone 绝对不理,不介入;敬而远之;不再打交道,不再去干;let alone 至于……更不必说;let sb. (sth.)alone 随它去;不干涉(打扰);stand alone in 在……方面独一无二。 2. What else, but a journey at the opposite and of the world. Antarctica. 除了在世界的另一端即南极旅行,还能做什么别的呢? [问]此句中but怎么理解? [答]but在此句中作介词,相当于except,意为“除……之外”,又如:no one but me 除我以外没别人 No one but she saw the prowler.除她以外没有一个人看见那个行窃者。传统的语法学家考虑当but用于表示例外的意思时应该用什么形式的代词,比如No one but I (或者No one but me )has read it 。 有人认为but在这种句子中是个连词,因此应该使用主格I。然而虚度语法雪茄的讨论有些不一致,即当but短语出现在句子末尾时用宾格me比较合适,如No one has read it but me (除我以外没有人读过它)。同时这种结构前置处理的重要性是值得考虑的,并且不会被认为是不正确的。此处,but还可用作连词表示转折,用作副词意为“几乎,仅仅”,如:I was going to write, but I lost your address. 我本来要写信的,可是把你的地址弄丢了。(连词) The job is all but finished!这工作差不多完成了!(副词) 3. My dog team weren't with me to pull my sled. 我没有群狗来为我拉雪橇。 [问]本句的主语是my dog team 为什么谓语动词用复数weren't? [答]team形式上是单数,但有时候表达复数的含义,谓语动词用复数,在语法上这称做“主谓一致”。试比较: Our team is sure to win this game. 我们的球队肯定会赢得这场比赛。 our team are taking exercise now. 我们的队员正在训练。 family, group, crowd, class, government, company, population 等作主语时,也应根据“意义一致”的原则,按所表达的含义确定其谓语动词形式。 4. Another journey of challenge and danger was about to began. 又一次挑战和危险的旅行即将开始。 [问]be about to do sth. 是什么意思? [答]be about to 是一种将来时表达法,表示最近的将来,意思为“正要……”“即将……”。需要注意的是,若句子中有具体的时间状语则不能用be about to, 而要用be going to, 如: When I saw Mary, she was about to get on the bus. 我看到玛丽时,她正要上车。 Hurry up!They are going to finish the work in five minutes. 快点!他们五分钟就做完了。 此外,“be to do sth,"亦可表示“按计划或那派将要做某事”。如: We are to have to meeting this afternoon. 我们今天下午要开会。 5. I had travelled only two hours one day when the winds incresed so much that I had to put my tent up before the winds became too strong. 一天我刚走了两小时,这时风变得太大,我不得不在强风到来之前搭起帐篷。 [问]此句中的when 是什么用法?so much that 是什么意思? [答}when用作连词,意为“正在……的时候”(=at the very moment),如,We were about to start when it began to rain. 我们正要出发。这时候就开始下雨了。so... that 意为“如此……以致……”与such...that同义,但so是副词,修饰形容词或副词。例如:He was so hardworking that he was praised by the teacher.他很勤奋,所以受到老师的表扬。 His arms were so long he could touch the ceiling. 他手臂很长,能摸到天花板。 The weather was so fine that we all went out for a walk. 天气这么好,我们都去散步了。 6. On November 12 the storm lay down. 十一月十二日哪天暴风平息了。 [ 问]此句中lay down是什么意思。 [答]lie down意为 “躺下”, “……平息下来”等。例如: He always lies down on the ground whenever he stops. 他一停下来就总是躺在地上。 Their quarrel finally lay down. 他们的争吵终于平息下来了。 The winds and waves on the sea will soon lie down. 海上马上就会风平浪静。 7. I had fallern into a hole and was hanging on the ropes tied to the sled.我掉进了一个窟窿,正悬在连接着雪橇的绳子上 。 [问]tied to the sled 是什么结构?在句子中有何作用? [答]这是一个过去分词短语在句中作定语,相当于一个定语从句,修饰名词ropes, 过去分词短语作定语时常位于被修饰的名词之后。又如: Today's computers are of much difference from tomorrow. 今早发出的信件她明天就可收到了。 而单个的过去分词作定语常位于名词之前,如: The cold wind was blowing through a broken window. 寒风从破碎的窗子吹了进来。 8. If I keep lying on the ice. I would soon die. 如果我继续躺在冰上,我会冻死的。 [问]keep doing sth. 是何意? [答]keep doing sth. 意为“继续做某事”,如: The owner of the shop kept talking all the time. 店主一直在说话。 It kept raining for three days. 雨连续下了三天。 [辨析]keep doing sth. 表示连续不断的动作或同一动作持续的状态,而keep on doing sth. 意为:继续做,反复做某事”,强调动作的重复性,如: Why do you keep on asking such silly questions?你干嘛老问这样的傻问题呢? She kept on working although she was tired. 她尽管很累但仍继续干活。 值得一提的是,keep on 后只能接表示动作的-ing形式如talking,walking, crying等,而不能接表示静止状态的-ing 形式如standing, lying, sitting,sleeping等。如我们不可以说: He kept on standing for half an hour. 但我们可以说:He kept standing for half an hour. 9. I had to make a decision. Wait to get better or give up ?我必须做出决定,是等待情况好转还是放弃呢? [问]make a decision 怎么理解?give up, give in 和give out 有何区别? [答]make a decision 意为“决定下来,作出决定,下决心”等,与decision连用的短语还有:came to a decision 做出决定; arrive at a decision 做出决定;reach a decision 做出决定;give a decision for 判决对……有利;give a decision against 判决对……不利;give a decision against判决对……不利;leave ... to the decision of 由……来决定(某事);with decision 断然,等等。 give up和give in都有“让步;放弃”的含义;give up指行为或努力受挫或别的原因儿童主动放弃,可用作及物东西,跟名词或v.-ing作宾语;也可作不及物动词;give in 指不再坚持自己的行为或观点等,而按别人的要求去做,一般作不及物动词;give out意为“用完;耗尽;体力不支”,是不及物动词。例如:The wind was strong and the waves were big, so he had to give up attempting /his attempt to swim the channel. 风急浪高,他只好放弃横渡海峡的打算。 We must under no circumstances give up halfway. 我们绝不能半途而废。 As neither of the two sides would give in, the agreement fell through. 由于双方都不肯让步,所以没能达成协议。 10. In her television shows she makes if possible to talk about great moment and difficulties in people's lives. 她在电视节目中使得谈论人民生活中的辉煌时刻和难题成为可能。 [问]怎么粉刺此句结构?怎样理解此句中的it? [答]make...possible 意为“使……成为可能”, it在此用作形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式短语 to talk about great moment and difficulties in people's lives, 形容词possible 作宾补。又如: If yuo work hard, you will make a good sailor. 如果你肯努力,你将成为一个好水手。 Science and technology have made it possible for farmers to produce more grain. 科学技术已经使农民有可能生产出更多的粮食。 常用于这个句型的动词还有: find, think, consider等; As he is an old friend of mine, I dind it difficult ot refuse him.出于他是我的老朋友,我觉得很难拒绝他。 Do you think it neccessary to say a few words at the meeting?你认为有必要在会上讲几句话吗?

She has helped thousands of men and women come to terms with things that bother them and that they could not talk about with others. 她帮助成千上万的人对使他们心烦的,不能与别人谈论的事情采取将就态度。 [问]come to terms with是什么意思? [答]come to terms with意为“甘心忍受(不愉快的处境);屈服;妥协;达成协议;接受条件,对……采取将就态度”, 如:He always comes to terms with his existence. 他总是安分守纪;与term连用的短语还有:at term到期终时,到期;be in terms 在谈判(交涉)中;be on intimate terms with 与……关系密切;bring sb. to terms 使某人接受条件,使某人屈服(就范);during one's term of office 在任职期间;for term of (one's)life 一辈子;in any term 无论如何;在任何情况下;in black and white terms 白纸黑字;毫不含糊;in general terms 概括地,笼统地;in high terms 极力称赞;in plain terms 简单说来,坦白地说;in practical terms 实际上; in terms在谈判协商中;in terms of 依……,据……;从……方面;从……角度来讲;换算,折合;以……为单位;关于,在……方面,就……来说; in the long term从长远观点来看; in the short term 就眼前来说;keep on good (friendly)terms with sb. 与某人保持良好(友谊)关系,交朋友;keep terms with sb. 和……继续谈判,与某人保持友好关系; not on any terms (on no terms )决不,无论如何不;on equal terms with 和……条件相同,与……平等相处;on one's own terms 按照自己的条件(价钱);按照自己的主张 12.

My dog team weren't with me to pull my sled. 若有多个名词作主语,应按“就近一致”的原则,即谓语动词的形式取决于靠它最近的名词(主语)。例如: There is a pen, a radio and some books on the desk. There are some books, a pen and a radio on the desk. [经典解析] 例;1. Sandy could do nothing but ______ to his teacher that he was wrong. A. admit B. admitted C. admitting D. to admit 简析:本题考查 but 作介词的用法。do nothing but do sth. 意为“只好做某事”,but 后接动词原形,故答案为A。 [高考透视]介词 but 相当于 except,意为“除了”,常与 all, everything, nothing 等不定式代词或等疑问词连用。常见搭配有 nothing but (只有);do nothing but do something(只好做某事);cannot but do sth. = can't choose but do sth.(不得不做某事);have no choice but to do sth.(别无选择只好做某事);can't help but do sth.(禁不住做某事)等。 例:2.—Is John coming by train? —He should, but he ____ not. He likes driving his car. A. must B. can C. need D. may 简析:答案为D。根据“He likes driving his car.”可看出 “他也许不会(乘火车来)”。B项虽然语法正确,但不符合语境。从答语看来,说话人并没有十足的把握。 [高考透视] must 语气非常肯定,常用于陈述句,may 语气不太肯定,而 can 用在否定句中表示否定的推测或判断,意为“一定不,不可能”等。 例:3. We are going to the bookstore in John's car. You can come with us ______ you can meet us there later. A. but B. and C. or D. then 简析:本题考查并列连词的含义及用法。but 表示“转折”,and 表示“并列”,or 表示“选择”,then 表示“承接”。分析题意可知 come with us 和 meet us there later 这两个动作既不是转折关系,也不是并列关系,也不是承前启后,而是表示选择,即二者可选其一,故答案为C。 例:4. Since you have repaired my TV set, ______ is no need for me buy a new one. A. it B. there C. this D. that 简析:本题考查 there be 句型,根据句意“我没必要买新的”不难确定正确答案为B。 [高考透视]“there be” 结构中的动词 be 可有各种时态形式,并可与助动词、情态动词或连系动词一起构成谓语,如: There will (is going to) be a meeting on Monday. 星期一有个会议。 There has been much talk about the matter. 关于这件事已经说得够多了。 There must (might ought to) be a person waiting for you. 一定(可能、应该)有人在等你。 There seems to be bo more time now. 看来没时间了。 There happened to be an accident on the road. 路上碰巧发生了事故。 例:5. The parkers bought a new house but ______ will need a lot of work before they can move in. A. they B. it C. one D. which 简析:本题容易受汉语的干扰,误以为“他们需要做很多工作才能搬进去”而选A,误以为 which 在此引导定语从句而选D。正确答案应为B,代词 it 用来替代可数名词 a new house。 四、单词详解。 1. inspire [in5spaiE]vt. 鼓舞,感动,激发,启示,使生灵感,产生//vt. 吸入,赋予灵感。 例:a leader who inspires by example. 一位身体力行的领袖。 I was inspired to work harder than ever before. 我受激励比以往任何时候都更加努力地工作。 a philosophy which inspired revolution 一个引起革命的哲学思想。 The falling leaves inspired her with sadness .落叶触动了她的伤感。 a teacher who inspired admiration and respect. 博得欣赏和尊敬的教师。 [记忆技巧]inspired 受到鼓舞的;inspiring 鼓舞人心的 [常用词组]inspire a new thought into sb. 将新思想灌输给某人/ inspire sb. with courage 鼓起某人的勇气/inspire sth. in sb. 使某人产生某种感情/激发某人的某种感情/inspire sb. with sth. 使某人产生某种感情/激发某人某种感情/inspire sth. into sb. 把某种思想灌输给某人 2. generous [5dVenErEs]adj. 慷慨的,大方的,有雅量的 例:He is very generous ---he often buys things for other people.她很大方,经常为别人来买东西。 The young heiress was so generous that she gave all her money away in a couple of years. 年轻的女继承人过于大方以致不到几年的功夫就把钱都送掉了。 He is generous with his money.他花钱大方。 a generous helping of meat and vegetable 一份丰富的肉和蔬菜。 [常用词组]a generous gift 大方的礼物/generous harvest 丰收/generous field 肥沃的土地/generous colour 浓颜色/generous wine 气味浓郁的酒/a generous meal 丰盛的一餐 3. cheerful [5tFiEful]adj.愉快的, 高兴的,兴致高的;精神愉快的 例:a cozy, cheerful room 舒适的,令人愉快的房间 He is cheerful in spite of his illness. 他虽然有病但是情绪很好。 That's a cheerful remark.

He lives alone but he doesn't feel lonely. 他独自一人生活,电脑他并不感到孤独。 2. 辨析 miserable, dismal, sorry, unhappy 与 wrethed: 意义都含“极不幸的”、“忧郁的”、“难过的”、“悲惨“。miserable指由于贫困、屈辱、愤怒或不幸等而引起内心极端痛苦的”,如: the miserable life of the poor in the past. 过去穷人的悲惨生活。 dismal指“忧郁的”、“忧愁的”、“不愉快的”,如: He felt dismal after reading piece of bad news in the newspaper. 他读了报上的一条不好的消息后心情忧郁。 sorry指“心情不愉快的”、“难过的”或“遗憾的”,如: I felt deeply sorry for him. 我为他深感难过。 unhappy指“心情不愉快的”、“难过的”或“遗憾的”、如: He was unhappy when alone. 他独自一人时感到不快活。 wretched 指“由于受伤、疾病、愤怒等外表上显得极端沮丧、失望或可怜的”、“不幸的”、如: What a wretched existence these people lead in the slums! 住在贫民窟里的这些人生活多可怜呀! 3. 辨析 threaten 与 menace: 都含“威胁”、“恐吓”的意思。threaten指“扬言将以伤害或惩罚迫使某人去做(或不做)某事”,menace强调“以态度或动作等表示将要迫害某人”。如: I was threatened with a beating if I didn't obey. They menaced her with a whip. A man who drives fast is a menace to other people. A tone of menace entered into the man's voice. 4. 辨析 cheerful, glad, happy 与 joyful: 这四个词都有“快乐”的意思。cheerful 作“愉快”解,常指乐观天性的自然流露,包括在不利的情况下保持愉快的心情。例如: He always books cheerful even in defeat. 他总是高高兴兴的,即使输了也是如此。 glad 表示由于某一特定的事物或原因而“快乐”、“高兴”,一般只作表语。 I am glad to have this opportunity to speak here.我很高兴有此机会在此讲话。 happy 本意是“幸福的”,但也可泛指一般的:“快乐”,如: We are leading a happy life. 我们过着幸福的生活。 joyful 意为“兴高采烈”或“令人欢欣”,如: Let us sing some songs to celebrate this joyful occasion. 让我们唱歌来庆祝这令人欢乐的节日吧。 注意:glad 和 happy 后可连用不定式,而 cheerful 和 joyful 后面不用不定式。 Unit18 New Zealand 一、课文背景知识 “新西兰人分别来自许多不同的文化背景,同时以热情和友善而享誉国际,美丽的田园、清洁的环境、健康的生活方式以及多元文化社区使新西兰成为来自世界各地移民的理想国家。” 这既是广告词,更是新西兰的真实写照。1997年,在一项对全球高级管理人员进行的调查中,新西兰的奥克兰市在最喜欢居住的城市中名列第二;一项由全球最大的人力资源公司william M. Mercer 进行的全球生活素质最佳城市的研究报告中指出,新西兰的奥克兰市的生活素质排名全球第五,与悉尼、日内瓦、哥本哈根等齐名;另外,由加拿大 Fraser Institute 研究所、美国和新加坡并列为全球最自由的经济体,而新西兰则紧随其后,名列第二,第三到第十位分别是:美国、英国、爱尔兰、加拿大、澳大利亚、荷兰、卢森堡及瑞士。 新西兰很接近国际日界线,北岛的岛屿和镇,是全球、最先迎接新一天来到的地方。新西兰是南太平洋上一个景色如画的岛国,形状很象一只倒悬的长筒高根皮靴,距澳大利亚1600公里,新西兰主要由北岛和南岛组成,库克海峡将两岛分开,还有许多较小的岛屿,陆地总面积为270,500平方公里,面积大小与日本及英国相仿,但人口密度远低于后者。由于新西兰的大部分出口产品是农产品,人们通常认为新西兰是一个农业国家,实际上新西兰是一个高度城市化的国家,百分之八十五的人口生活在城镇里,大多数人就业在工业、商业或服务业。 新西兰拥有着许多令人激动的自然景观,从冰川到雨林,从峡湾到温泉,从火山到峡谷,从南阿尔卑斯山动人的景观到岛屿湾美丽的海岸线,更让人惊奇的是,将近三分之一的新西兰国土是国家公园或自然保护区,新西兰被誉为世界上最后一处“天堂”。 关于历史,波利尼夕亚定居者约在公元十世纪最先来到新西兰(毛利过名为“长白云之乡)。到公元十二世纪,全国受青睐的地区已分布了许多定居点:1642年,荷兰航海家阿贝尔.塔斯曼发现了长白云之乡,并以荷兰一个地区的名字命名这块土地为,他绘制了部分西海岸的区的地图,但并未在此登陆;1769年,英国海军舰长詹姆斯.库克及船员成为首先踏足新西兰土地的欧洲人,随后,捕捞海报和鲸鱼的人们也来到这里,新西兰的国家标志是不会飞的土生“几维鸟”,有时“几维”被用作新西兰的同义语。 新西兰最大的非欧洲人社团是本地的毛利人——新西兰最早的定居者和开拓者,毛利人是1000多年以前最早在新西兰定居的人,他们又叫做“塔加塔.胡奴阿”,即“大地之民”,欧洲人大约在1769年以后移居到此,毛利人的文化、艺术和传统是新西兰遗产中的重要部分。新西兰的教育体制被视为世界上最好的教育体制之一,他们通过学校、大学、技工学院和其他教育机构提供高质量教育,新西兰的教育体系源于英国的传统教育体制,全国实行同意的教育体系,教育经费开支占政府开支第三位。 二、疑难详解 1.

[答]further在此用作副词,修饰介词短语 in the south, 表示“远在南方,深入南方内地”, 又如: Can you walk further into the forest? 你能再往森林深处走走吗? farther 和further都是far 的比较级,可用作形容词或副词,都可以指空间或时间上的距离,意为”更远的(地)”, 但farther比further更普遍些,如: On the farther/further side of the street there was a large shop 在街道的那一头有一家商店。 further还可以用于抽象意义,表示“进一步”,这时不能用farther, 如: They want to get further information. 他们想得到进一步的信息。 4. The North Island is famous for an area of hot springs, some of which throw hot water high into the air.北岛以温泉而著称,有些温泉将热水喷射到很高的空中。 [问]句中的some of which 是什么结构? [答]some of which 是“代词(或名词)+介词 + 关系代词”在句中引导非限制性定语从句。当先行词为人时,关系嗲次用whom, 当先行词为物时, 关系代词用which,注意介词后不能用that。又如: Here are a lot of stones, must of which will be used to build a bridge. 这儿有许多石头,其中多数将用来建桥。 There are about 100 teachers in our school, many of whom are women. 我们学校约有100名教师,其中许多是妇女。 5. Some of these heat near the earth's surface is used to make electricity. 接近地球表面的有些热能被用来发电。 [问]be used to do sth. 和be used to doing sth 有什么区别?

[答]by 在此表示“到(某时)为止”或“到某时”已发生某事或出现某种情况,谓语动词多用完成时态。句中的1840是过去时间,因此谓语动词用过去完成时had come, 又如: By the end of last year we had produced 3000 computers. 到去年年底为止我们已生产出3000台电脑。 She had finished her work by the time I came home. 我回家时他已干完活了。 By next week we will have made a plan for our journey. 下周前我们会订出旅行计划。 9.

It is on this arable land that the famers produce food for the whole population of China. 农民们正是在这些可耕地上为全国人民生产各种粮食。 [问]如何理解这个句子结构? [答]这是个强调句,,其结构为:It is (was)+被强调部分+that/who-从句,被强调部分可以是句子的主语、宾语、状语等,如果被强调部分是物,从句用that引导,如果指人,则可用that或who来引导从句。课文第三段还有一个强调句。又如: It was they who (that)helped me in the street this morning. 今天上午就是他们在街上帮了我。 It was this morning that they helped me in the street. 他们是今天上午在街上帮我的。 Who was it that taught them French yesterday? 昨天教他们法语的是谁? What was it that the new teacher taught them yesterday? 昨天新老师教他们的是 什么? 2.

[答]不定式作目的状语可位于句首,起强调作用,此外i norder to 和so as to 都可引导目的状语,但so as to 不能位于句首。如: (In order )to pass the exams, he did his lessons till late at night. 为了通过考试,他复习功课直到深夜。 此句可改为:He did his lessons till late at night so as to pass the exam. 句中的make use of 是一个短语,意为:“利用、使用”,如: We should make full use of time in our study. 我们在学习中应充分利用时间。 It is very important for us to make good use of water. 好好利用水资源是很重要的。 句中的as much ... as possible 意为:“尽可能多地……”, much 后接不可数名词,若为可数名词,则用many来修饰。又如: Please give him as muvh help as possible. 请尽可能多地买了书。 句中的where possible 是一种省略形式,在句中作地点状语,相当于where it is possible ,连词if,when, while, until等都可用于这种省略句。例如: I will pay you a visit when (I am)free. 我有空时会来看你的。 Tell the manager immediately about it if (it is )necessary. 如有必要,迅速把这事儿告诉经理。 3. This saves time and allows famers to grow an extra crop in each season. 这就节约了时间允许农民可以在每个季节里种植一种额外的作物。 [问]allow 和let的含义和用法有什么不同? [答]二者均可作“允许”解,但各有侧重;allow重在“允许”或“容许”,也可表示客气的请求,常用于allow sb. to do sth. 或allow doing sth. 结构中。例如: He allowed me to take his dictionary. 他允许我拿走他的词典。 Will you allow me to use your bike?我可以用你的自行车吗? We don't allow smoking here. 我们不允许在这儿抽烟。 而let作“允许”或“让”解,主要用于口语,一般可与allow互换。作“允许”解时,常暗含“听任”“默许”之意。注意: let之后作宾补的不定式不带to, 且不可用于被动语态,而allow则相反。例如; Please let me walk with you (=Please allow me to walk with you. ) 我(请允许我)跟你一起走。 4. It is from the early 1990s that scientists started to develop new techniques to increase agricultural production without harming the environment. 科学家开始发展研究既提高农业产量又不破坏环境的新技术是在二十世纪九十年代。 [问]该句中develop是什么意思?介词without有什么用途? [答]develop 意为:发展,发达,发扬,发育,进步,逐步生长,逐步显示出来”等。如: Plants develop from seeds. 植物由种子发育而成。 Several industries are developing in this area. 几种工业正在这个地区发展。 Some children develop more slowly than others. 有的儿童比其他的儿童发育得慢。 Fresh air and exercise develop healthy bodies. 新鲜空气和运动能使身体健康。 He developed the photo graphs which he had taken. 他冲洗了他拍摄的胶卷。 developing 意为:“发展中的”, developed意为“发达的”,如: China is a developin country while Japan is a developed one. 中国是个发展中的国家, 而日本是个发达的国家。 介词without 表示“不,没有”, 后接名词、代词或-ing形式,在句中用做状语、表语或定语,如: She day passed without seeing me. 她从我身边走过而没有看见我。 They never meet withour quarreling. 他们一见面就要吵嘴。 Future agriculture should depend on high technology as well as traditonal methods. 未来的农业将依靠高科技和传统的方法。 [问]as well 和as well as有什么不同? as well意为: “还;也”, 相当于too, 通常位于句末。 如: He gave me advice, and money as well. 他给我忠告,也给我钱。 She went there as well. 她也去了那儿。 as well as 与as well 同意,但常用来连接两个并列成分,可译为:“除……之外;和”。强调的重点在第一个成分。 如果连接的两个并了成分作主语,谓语动词的数和第一个成分一致。 如: He gave me money as well as advice. 她除了给我忠告外,还给我钱。 You as well as I are right. 我是对的,你也是对的。 6. Not only food production is important but also taking care of the environment. 不仅食物生产很重要,保护好环境也同样重要。 [问]怎样理解这个句子结构? [答]此句相当于:Not only food production but also taking care of the environment is important. 并列连词not only ...but also...意为:“不仅……,而且……”,连接两个并列的主语food production 和taking care of the environment. not only... but also ...也可连接两个并列的谓语、宾语、表语、状语等,还可连接两个并列的句子,所强调的重点是后面的一个。有时可省略also。又如: She not only sings well but (also)dances beautifully. 她不但歌唱得好,而且舞也跳得很优美。 He was not only a successful writer but (also)the greatest poet of his time.他不但是一位成功的作家,而且 他啊那个时代最伟大的诗人。 He is famous not only in China but in the whole world. 他不仅誉满中国,而且誉满全世界。 当not only ...but also...连接两个主语时,谓语动词应采取“就近一致”的原则,与后面哪个主语保持人称和数的一致。如: Not only the students but also the teacher is pleased. 不仅同学们高兴,老师也高兴。 Not only he but also you are going there. 不仅他,而且你也要去那儿。 7. The roots of these begetables are not planted in earth but hang in water that contains all the nutrients they need to grow. 这些蔬菜的根不是种植在土壤里而是放在含有它们所需要营养的水中。 [问]怎么理解本句?they need to grow 在句中作何成分? [答]本句中有一组连词not...but...表示一种转折关系。否定not后面的内容,肯定but后面的内容,意为“不是……,而是……”,他可用来来年界两个结构类似、语法功能相同的句子成分。如: He does not speak English, but French. 他不讲英语而讲法语。 It's not mine, but yours. 那不是我的,而是你的。 Every day I went to school not by bike, but on foot. 我每天不是骑自行车而是步行上学的。 Mary did not watch TV,but went over her lessons. 玛丽没有看电视,而是发复习了功课。 Not the teacher but the students want to see the film. 不是老师而是同学们想看电影。 由上例句可以看出,这种句型的主语可以是人或物,not前可以是行为动词也可以是连系动词,但不要与not缩写,而且not和but后哟啊连接结构相似、语法功能相同的句子成分。 此句中they need是定语从句,修饰nutrients,不定式to grow也可用作定语修饰nutrients。 8. The temperature is controlled with computers or kept the same, no matter how the weather is outside. 气温是由电脑控制的,或者保持恒温,无论外界气候如何。 [问]如何理解该句中的no matter? [答]no matter可与what, who, which, where,when, how等连用引导一从句,表示“不管,无论”之意,在句中作让步状语。例如: No matter what you say, I won't believe you. 管你说什么,我都不会相信你的话。 No matter when you come, you'll be more than welcome. 不管你思茅时候到,你都会受到非常热烈的欢迎。 No mater how hared you try, you'll never lose your American accent. 不管你多么努力,你都不会讲话时不带美国口音。 no matter与what, who, which, where,when, how等连用引导从句时,同whatever, whoever, whichever, wherever, whenever和however(however后一定要家加上一个形容词或副词)引导从句时的 意思相同。其区别只是no matter...从句只能用作状语从句,而whatever...从句除了可作状语从句一 ,还可用作名词性从句在句中充当主语或宾语,有时甚至是宾语补足语。例如: No matter which /whichever you say, I won't believe you. 我不管你说什么,我都不会相信你说的话。 No matter which /whichever of three sisters you choose to marry, you will have a good wife. 无论你选择三姐妹中的哪一位结婚,你都将得到一位贤淑的妻子。 此外,no matter一般不单独使用,可以用在It's no matter (It makes no matter)+从句这种句型中表示“无关紧要”,如: It makes no matter /It's no a matter whether you get there early or late. 你到达那里早或晚都无关紧要。 It makes no matter to him that brother lost all his money. 弟弟赔(丢)光了钱,对他无关紧要。 9. The tomato is one of nearly 4500 different plants that are genetically modified. 西红柿是将近4500种不同转基因作物的一种。 [问]这句中定语从句的谓语动词能用单数吗? [答]不能。关系代词who、which、that本身没有数的变化,它们作主语时,从句中的谓语动词应与先行词的数保持一致、有时需根据具体情况而定,试比较: Look at the woman with two children who is sitting under the tree. 看那个坐在树下的妇女,她和两个孩子在一起。 Look at the woman with two children who playing under the tree. 看那个妇女,她和正在树下玩的两个 孩子在一起。 但是当先行词是“one of + 复数名词”时,显然其重心在名词上,因此从句中的谓语用复数;当先行词是“the only one of + 复数名词”,时,其重心是the only one,因而谓语动词用单数,如: He is oen of the teachers who know Russian well. 他是懂俄语的老师之一。 He is the only one of the teachers who knows Russion well.他是(老师中唯一懂俄语的一位老师。 This is one of the most interesting questions that have been asked. 这是问过的最有趣的问题之一。 She was the only one of the girls who was late for the meeting. 她是开会迟到的唯一的女孩。 10. He spent his time on research into agriculture. 他一生致力于农学研究。 [问]与spend搭配的介词on可以省略吗? [答]不能省略。当我们要表达“花时间做某事”时可用两种句型:spend ...on sth. 和spend ...(in)doing sth. 后接-ing形式时可省掉介词in。如: Don't spend any more time on that problem. 别在那个问题上再花时间了。 Every spare minute he gets is spent on the car. 他业余的每一分钟都花在摆弄那辆车上。 She spent her evenings (in) washing the windows and floors. 她利用晚上的时间清洗窗子和地面。 He spends his whole life (in) looking after the poor. 他用毕生的精力来照顾穷人。 [辨异]spend指花时间做某事时,其主语往往是人,而take作“花费时间”时,主语通常是物,常用于It take sb. some time to do sth. 这一句型。如: It took them several hours to set up a tent. 他们花了几个小时才搭起帐篷。(=They spent several hours in setting up the tent.) 本句中,reseacher into意为“研究,探讨”,其中reseacher是名词,可有单、复数形式。如: They are carrying out a research into the cause of cancer. 他们正对癌症的病因进行研究。 We have been making scientific reseaches on these plants. 我们一直在对这些植物进行科学研究。 11. He collected information, studied it, did experiments and learnt from the experiences of famers. 他收集资料并加以研究,努力实践,向有经验的农民学习。 [问]learn from是什么意思?experience 是可数名词吗? [答]learn from意为“向……学习”,如: Chaiman Mao called on us to learn from comrade Lei Feng. 毛主席号召我们向雷峰同志学习。 One has to learn from other people 's experience. 我们都要学习他人的经验。 experience作“经验”、“体验”解时,较为笼统,为不可数名词;作“经历”,“阅历”解时,较为具体,用作可数名词。又如: He has much experience in teaching. 他有丰富的教学经验。 I had an unforgettabe experience in the forest. 我在森林中有过一次难忘的经历。 They can't forget their experiences in African. 他们忘不了在非洲的经历。 experienced 是形容词,意为:“有经验的”,如: She is experienced in making speeches. 她在演讲方面颇有经验。 12. It includes advice on the following subjects growing green vegetables and fruit trees, keeping cows, sheep and fish in lakes. 它包含了如下方面的建议:种植绿色蔬菜和果树栽培,牛羊的饲养和湖泊养雨。 [问]include,including,还有contain之间有什么区别? [答]include,including和contain都有“包括”,“包含”的意思。include强调“包括作为整体的一部分”,如: The list included his name . 这个名单上包括他的名字。 At least 20 people got hurt, including five children. 包括五个孩子在内至少20人受伤。 He had included a large number of funny stories in the speech. 他在讲话中加进了许多引人发笑的故事。 The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland and Wales. 联合王国也包括北爱尔兰和威尔士。 而contain意为:“含有;容纳;装有”,着重“其中包含有”。提’ The bottle contains water. 这个瓶子里有水。 The speech contained some interesting ideas. 这个讲演包括一些有趣的思想。 This book contains forty maps, including three of Great Britain. 这本书里有四十张地图,其中包括三张英国地图。 13. But if you go against nature and so things at the wrong time of the year, you will have to do more work and results will not be so good. 但是如果你违背自然,不适时耕作,你就会付出更多的劳动,而成果却不见得好。 [问]句中的go against是何意? [答]go against意为“违背,反对,不利于;如: Man can't go against nature. 人不能违背自然规律。 Did what he said go against the law?他说的话犯法了吗? The game is going against them. 比赛情况对他们不利。 [辨异]go against意为“违背,对抗”,而be against意为“反对,不赞成”。例如: He is strongly against our plan. 他强烈反对我们的计划。 be againest 的反义词是be for We are for your team. 我们支持你们队。 14. The condition ofthe soil is also very important. 土壤条件也很重要。 [问]condition的单、复数形式有什么不同? [答]conditon指“由于一定的原因、条件或环境所产生的特定情况”,指某人某物的情况、状况时多用单数。如: Ability is one ofthe conditions of success in life. 能力是人生中成功的条件之一。 You must on no condition tell him what has happened. 你无论在什么情况下都不可告诉他所发生的事。 His condition will not permit him to travel. 他的情况不允许他旅游。 Though bought several years ago, the car is still in good condition. 虽然这车已买了好几年,但其性能仍然很好。 On condition that 意思为:“条件是,在……条件下”,引导条件状语从句。如: You can borrow the book on condition that you return it to me on time. 只要你按时归还,你可以借走这本书。 For example, do not plant rice year after year in the same field. 例如,不要在同一块地里年复一年地”种植稻谷。 [问]year after year 是什么意思?与year by year 有何区别? [答]year after year意为“年复一年地”,强调重复性,而‘year by year 意为“逐年地”,强调逐年变化。例如: I have to do this knd of work year after year. 我不得不年复一年地干这种活。 Year by year the trees grow taler and taller. 这些树一年一年地长高了。 类似的词组还有:day after day, day by day; month after month, month by month;week after week, week by week 等,如: The boy came to see me day after day. 这孩子日复一日地来看我。 The students made progress in English week by week. 同学们的英语学习一周一周地进步了。 三、本单元高考热点归纳与拓展 [概述] 1.重点单词和词组: produce,effect,leader,local,irrigation,seed,depend on,short of,control,stand for,golden,garden,practical,guide,firstly,sow,condition,remove,and so on, 2.重点语法: 本单元的语法重点是学习it在强调句中的用法,这个句型可用来强调句子的某些成份,强调说话的重点。试比较: John gave me a handbag yesterday。昨天约翰给了我一个手提包。 It was john that gave me a handbag yesterday。昨天给我手提包的是约翰。 It was me that John gave a handbag yesterday。昨天约翰是给了我一个手提包。 It was a handbag that John gave me yesterday。昨天约翰给我的是手提包。 It was yesterday that John gave me a handbag。约翰是昨天给了我一个手提包。 注意: 如果被强调的成分是指人的主语,that 可用 who 替代。上文例2可改为: It was John who gave me a handbag yesterday。 如果被强调的成分是人称代词,这个代词可用主格,也可用宾格。如: It was I/me who/that went there the day before yesterday。 该句型不能用来强调 since,as 引起的原因状语从句、though ,although 引起的让步状语从句、动词或表语。如不能说:It is a tescher that he is。 该句型可用在疑问句中。如: Was it French that the new teacher taught them yesterday?

In fact ______ is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important foofball match. A. this B. that C. there D. it 简析:it 是形式主语,真正的主语是 to keep order in an important football match。由于空格出现在fact 的后面,所以很容易把它当作同位语从句,而选 that。实际上,如果 in fact 的后面接同位语从句的话,就不能称其为句子了,而是一个短语。着句话的意思是“实际上,在一次重大的足球赛中,对警察来说,维持秩序是一项艰难的工作。”答案选D。 例:3.—Mum, why do you always make me eat an egg every day? — ______ enough protein and nutrition as you are growing up.

What do you think of the present economic situation? 你觉得当前的经济形势如何? On condition that “在……条件下”,引导条件状语从句。 You can go out on condition that you come back before 8 o' clock. 只要你能在8点以前回来,你可以出去。 state 系常用词,指“人或物存在或所处的状态”,但不着重于“这种状态和具体原因或条件的关系”,如:He is in a good state. 他身体健康。 5. 辨析 golden 和 gold: golden 也可指“金子做的”,但在现代英语中多作“金黄色的,象黄金一样宝贵的”,如: a golden sunset. 金色的夕阳; the golden years of one's childhood. 一个人童年的黄金时代; 而 gold 意味“金的,金制的”,此外它还可用作名词,指“黄金”。如: She wore a gold ring. 她戴了一枚金戒指。 All is not gold that glitters. [谚]闪光的未必都是金子。 Unit20 Humor 一、课文背景知识 憨豆先生 听说过憨豆先生( Mr.Bean )吗?只知道有红豆、绿豆、荷兰豆。憨豆究竟为何许豆也? 憨豆是英国BBC的招牌电视喜剧的剧名,也是该剧的主角的名字。英国喜剧泰斗罗恩.艾金森( Rowan Atkinson)饰演憨豆先生,同时也是该剧编剧之一。大家可千万别小看这颗“豆豆”,他在英国可是号称有1850万观众,在其他语系地区也是赫赫有名、所向披靡。他的幽默内敛、充满平常惊奇和对生活情趣的触觉,已冲破语言障碍,有希望成为卓别林之后的幽默大师。他创造了一种英国式的无厘头。一般人的喜剧都要笑中有泪,或笑中有针砭社会的事,《 Mr.Bean 》的笑中只有笑,没有政治,也没有批评社会,但一点不令人觉得单纯搞笑。 英国式幽默:点到为止 肢体表情最出色 憨豆先生是个“有点笨拙、有点幼稚、有点单向思维(脑筋不转弯)、有点腼腆、又有点短路的家伙,他的喜剧感来自你我都有可能会发生的日常生活中”。 他平日的穿着则是非常典型的英国保守中产阶级的装扮剧中他的对白极少,几乎都是靠“丰富的肢体动作”和“变化多端的表情”来呈现给观众。讨厌他的人也许会觉得这个故作低能智障的家伙实在令人作呕,但欣赏他的人会觉得他实在太了不起了,能够把英国式的幽默表现的淋漓尽致,可以算“用卓别林方式演戏的英国吉姆凯瑞”。 这个开着鲜黄色迷你型小车,常常随身携带心爱的泰迪熊的憨豆先生,某天发现有辆载着婴儿的推车意外地卡在他的车尾巴上,便张着嘴、傻乎乎地尝试着用种种办法去摆脱它,始终没有成功。于是他搔手弄姿,索性带着婴儿去游乐场玩。他勇敢地站在车头玩碰碰车逗婴儿开心,没想到婴儿皱着眉头,根本不领他的情。无限扫兴之下,他想把婴儿往摇摇车里一丢,自个儿捧着一大把零钱玩自己的去了。可是,坐云霄飞车时,别人刺激得尖叫起来,他却沉闷地打起瞌睡来。千辛万苦帮婴儿换好尿布,却连推车带气球一起飘到天空。在他后羿射日般英勇抢救之后,推车飘啊飘地,最后好端端的落回心急如焚的妈妈身边。这就是憨豆的一天。 英国式的幽默举世闻名。与美国式的说话很慢、很夸张之后的捧腹大笑比起来,英国式只是点到为止的“莞尔”一切尽在不言中。美国情境喜剧的喜剧感,常常来自家人朋友之间的“互相吐槽”(对话),英国剧则是通过肢体与表情来体现,憨豆先生便是其中的典型。 泰斗有来历:能编能演 大小荧幕都吃香 然憨豆先生的智商号称只有“007”,但艾金森本人可是拥有牛津大学的电机工程学位。能够扮得那么白痴,绝对是精湛的演技,而非“本色演员”。英国人认为他创造了近年来最重要的喜剧角色,而且认定他天生就该吃这碗饭。其实,成名之前,他默默无闻地耕耘了相当长的一段时间,知道80年代初,借助《非9点新闻》一剧,他才开始崭露头角。在1984年的《黑蝰蛇》一剧中,他饰演言辞尖刻、爱冷热潮讽别人的爱德蒙一角,显示了他能说会道的才能,而“憨豆先生”则展示了他肢体喜剧演员的天分,难怪有人说他那张脸就是他的财富。 近年来艾金森也开始跃上银幕。比较著名的角色就是《你是我今生的新娘》里那个紧张兮兮、把婚礼搞得一团糟的神父,以及《狮子王》里,担任小狮子王辛巴的保姆、老是唠唠叨叨的那知识犀鸟的幕后配音。之后,憨豆先生有傻乎乎地飞去美国。这个穿着整齐,但是头脑简单,常常闯了祸就落荒儿逃的家伙,“憨豆先生大闹好莱坞”的姿态进军洛山矶,进行他擅长的“捣乱工程”。该片票房在欧洲已突破1亿美圆,1997年11月初在美国上映时,好评如潮。 “憨豆先生”究竟有多红呢?看看有关他的商品就知道。除了剧片的录象带、VCD以外,还有印着他“傻冒像”的明信片、电话簿、贺卡,以及包括“蒙娜.豆莎”造型在内的各式T恤。相关书籍也有好几本,有剧本、剧照集及艾金森的传记等。最精彩的应该是那本《憨豆日记》,里面收入了憨豆生命中极隐私、极重要的点点滴滴,我们课余看到他“诗歌欣赏课”的老师哀求他改选别的课,虽然他是按时交作业的好学生,但老是强迫别的同学听他朗诵作品,结果人家不是呕吐,就是吓得不敢睡觉,班上学生跑了一大半。还有他的成绩单,给了他35分的历史老师给他的评语是:“ He has no sense of history. But then, of course, he has no sense。” 标准 excel标准偏差excel标准偏差函数exl标准差函数国标检验抽样标准表免费下载红头文件格式标准下载 的非常憨豆式的评语。对于人们来说,不管欣不欣赏这颗“豆子”,通过他来了解保守冷漠的英国人的文化和民族性,倒也挺不错。 二、疑难详解 1.

What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy is their way of playing with words. 喜剧演员与喜剧的表演者达到共同之处在于他们运用语言的方式。 [问]请问这是一个怎么样的复合句? [答]本句确是一个复合句,它是一个主语从句, What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy 是本句的主语,下面我们对主语从句进行归纳,主语从句是名词性从句的一种。 (1)主语从句可以直接放在句首;也可以用it作形式主语,而将从句放在句末。 例如:That light travels in straight lines is known to all. It's known to all that light travels in straight lines. 众所周知,光线直线运行。 A. that 引导的主语从句大多数要放到句末去。 B. what ...(东西)引导的主语从句一般不用it作形式主语的结构; 误:It is a book what he wants. 正:What he wants is a book. 他要的东西是一本书。 C. 由whether及其他连词引导的主语从句放在句首或句子后部皆可。 D. 如果带主语从句的句子是疑问式,则须用it作形式主语的结构。 例如:Has it been anounced when the planes are to take off?飞机什么时候起飞宣布了没有? (2)常用的用it 作形式主语的复合句结构: A. It is +名词+that从句 It is a fact (a shame, a pity, no wonder, good news,...)that... It is necessary (strange,important, wonderful, possible, likely, ...)that ... 注意:这类主语从句中,谓语动词多数为:“should+动词原形”。 C. It is + 过去分词+that从句 It is said(reported, decided, ...)that... D. It + 不及物动词+that从句 It seems (happened, doesn't matter, has turned out, ...)that... 注意:it引导的强调句与it作形式主语的复合句不可混淆。 (3)主语为从句时,谓语动词一般要用单数形式,但如果what引导的从句作主语、代表复数的概念(常可以 从表语上看出)时,谓语动词则常用复数形式: 例如:What we need is water. 我们所需要的水。 What we need are useful books. 例如:我们所需要的有用的书籍。 名题精选:___we can't get seems better than ___we have. A. What; what B. What;that C:. That;that D. That ;what (96年高考题)。 答案:A。“人们不能得到的东西好象总比人们已有的东西要好。”引导名词从句的that,既不作成分,又没有词义。本句主语从句中的动词get和表语从句中的动词have都需要宾语,都需要用引导词作他们的宾语,因此不能用that,都要用what。 9. Typical for China is the cross -talk show, where a pair of vomedians entertains the audience with word play. 最具有代表意义的 就是中国的相声表演,两位喜剧演员用丰富的语言去娱乐于观众。 [问]能讲讲此句的结构吗? [答]好的,本句是一个非限定性的定语从句,由where引导。定语从句又称为形容词性的从句,在句中起定语的作用,修饰一个名词或代词,有时可修饰一个句子。被定语从句修饰的词叫先行词,定语从句必须放在先行词的后面,由关系代词或关系副词引导关系词充当句子的成分。定语从句分限定性和非限定性两种,非限定性定语从句起补充说明作用,省去后不影响主句的意思,并且常用逗号与主句分开;翻译时常译成并列的分句。另外,非限定性定语从句关系词不宜用that。 例如;This note was left by John, who was here a moment ago. 这条子是约翰留的,他刚才来过这儿。 名题精选:Carol said the work would be done by October, ___personal I doubt very much. A. it B. that C. when D. which 答案:D。本题考察关系代词的用法,其中也涉及到人称代词it、指示代词that和关系副词when。根据语境,逗号后为非限定性的定语从句,而关系词在从句中作宾语,故选关系代词which,用来指代前边所说的整个事情“the work would be done by October”。 10. Dating back to the Qin Dynasty (221 -207BC), the traditional cross -talk shows ,or xiangsheng shows, have made people all over China roar wiht laughter for centuries. 追溯到秦朝(公元前221-207),传统的相声表演使整个中国人们几十世纪以来爆笑不止。 [问]本句中的现在分词起什么作用? [答]本句中的Dating back to the Qin Dynasty(221 -207BC)是现在分词作时间状语,分词作时间、原因或条件状语时,通常位于句子的前部;而作方式、伴随或结果状语时,通常位于句子的后部。 例如:Walking i n the street, I saw her. [时间状语] 正在街上走着时,我看见了她。 The parents died, leaving him an orphan. [结果状语] 父母亲去世时,他成了一个孤儿。 11. Skilled artists make use of all the richness of the splien language to create a rapid flow of fun. 有技巧达到艺术家 们利用丰富多采的口头语言为人们创造出了一连串的欢笑。 [问]请说一说过去分词作定语的用法? [答]Skilled是过去分词作定语修饰artists, 单个的分词作定语,常置于被修饰的名词前,分词短语作定语,须置于被修饰的名词的后面;被修饰的名词一般是现在分词的逻辑主语,是过去分词的逻辑宾语;过去分词常表示“动作发生在位于动词的动作前”;分词短语也可作非限定性定语,通常用逗号把它和句子其他部分分开。 例如:the excited people 激动的人们(单个的分词作定语) Is there anythings planned for tonight? 今晚有什么活动吗?(分词短语作定语) The book ,written in 1975,is still popular now. 这本书是1975年写的,至今仍受欢迎。 (分词短语作非限定性定语) 名题精选: ___ more attention , the trees could have grown better. (90年高考题) A. Given B. To give C. Giving D. Having given 答案:A. 非谓语动词作状语,其逻辑主语为句子的主语,句子主语“树”与“给”之间应为被动关系,故选过去分词Given。 12. To understand and fully appreciate te jokes of vross -talk artists, listeners have to know very well what the comedians are talking about, and they also have to be fluent in Chinese. 要理解并真正的欣赏相声艺术家们所表演的笑话,听众必须很好的了解喜剧演员们在说些什么,并精通中文。 [问]请在此讲一讲动词不定式的用法。 [答]动词不定式是非谓语动词的一种,一般指具体的行为(特别是将来的行为)时,动词不定式可用作主语。 例如:To refuse him is not easy this time. [不可用动名词]这次很难拒绝他。 注意:主语与表语都是非谓语动词时,两者在形式上应该一致。 例如:To see is to believe. 眼见为实。 (1)以下这些动词只能用动词不定式作宾语,例如hope,want(想要),wish,decide, manage等。 (2)care,love, like, hate, prefer 等,后接动词不定式作宾语时, 多指特定或具体的行动;而接动名词时,多指一般的倾向。在I'd like (love, prefer )后只能用动词不定式作宾语。 (3)need, require,want(需要)后接动词不定式作宾语时,含有主动的意思;后接动名词时,内含被动的意思, 是主动形式、被动概念。 (4)remember,forget, regret 后接动词不定式作宾语时,这些动词的行为先于动词不定式的行为;后接动名词时,动名词的行为先于这些动词的行为。本句中句首的不定式作目的状语,其意为:为了每和充分欣赏相声艺术的幽默。 名题精选:___late in the morning, Bob turned of the alarm.(2001春高考题) A. To sleep B. Sleeping C. Sleep D. Having slept 答案:A. 关闭闹铃”想睡懒觉。”是目的。用不定式作目的状语。B项Sleeping 是伴随状语或时间状语,一边“睡着觉”,一边“关闭”显然不合逻辑。D项Having slept 说明“睡”发生在“关闭”前,也不合情理。C 构成祈使句,前后不搭配。 13. I told him that he had knocked two people off their bicycles and had nearly caused a bad accident. 我告诉他将两个人从他们的自行车上给撞了下来,几乎造成了一场严重的车祸。 [问]请问本句中的knock off是什么意思?

I didn't enjoy it. 那出戏很有趣。我没能欣赏。 He got a very interesting job. 他找到了一个自己很感兴趣的工作。 4. 辨析 fun 和 funny: fun n. 玩笑,嬉戏;娱乐,乐趣,有趣的人(事物)。例如:be fond of fun 爱闹着玩; be full of fun 很好玩,极有趣 Her baby is great fun. 她的婴儿很好玩。I don't see the fun of doing that. 我并不觉得那样做有什么好玩的。 作 adj. 时为:供娱乐用的,为玩玩用的;有趣的,奇妙的。例如:Fun City 游乐城(纽约是别号)。a fun person 一个有趣的人。 funny adj. 有趣的,好笑的,滑稽的,奇异的,古怪的;n. 滑稽人物 例如:He has funny habit of blinking when talking with others. 他与人谈话时有一种令人可笑的眨眼睛的习惯。 What can that funny noise be? 那奇怪的声响究竟是什么? 5. 辨析 if 和 whether: if 不能替换 whether 的5种情况 (1)正式文体中,句中有 or not 时: 例如:I wonder whether it is big enough or not. 我不知道他是否够大。 (2)引导主语、表语、同谓语从句: 例如:Whether it is true (or not) remains a question. 他是不是真的还是一个问题。 (3)作介词的宾语: I have not settled the question of whether I'll go back home. 我还没有决定是否要回家去。 (4)放在不定式前,与不定式组成词组: She has not decided whether to go or not. 她还没有决定去还是不去。 (5)作 discuss 等词的宾语: We discussed whether we should close the shop. 我们讨论是否该关闭那家商店。 以上是 if 和 whether 表示“是否”之意的区别。此外,if 还有“假如”之意,引导条件状语从句;而 whether 另有“不管、无论”之意,引导让步状语从句。 Unit 21 Body Language 一.课文背景知识 语言的沟通,并非全靠“言语”在进行。能够以“非言语”即所谓的Body Language和其他为手段来表达各种信息,这已是众人熟知的事情。根据某项研究显示,70%的沟通可说是以“非言语”为媒介来传达。因此,脸部表情(facial expressions)、手势(gesture)、姿态(posture)等等,无不隐含着重要的意义。这些Body Language与言语、文化具有无法割舍的关系。或许是难得其间三味吧?很多英语学习者往往由于作法不当以致于人“东施效颦”的不良印象,所以不可不慎。对于演说中Body Language的“东施效颦”究竟意指什么呢?心存疑惑的人想来也是不在少数吧。此举且举其一为例。在用英语说: "I don't know"的时候,有人便做出稍为摊开双手并且耸耸肩膀的Body Language。不过这项Body Language系属相当西洋式的姿势,如果由东方人来做的话,经常带给对方颇不对劲的感觉。这就有如清末初洋服刚刚传入中国不久时,当穿起洋服招摇过市的话总要惹人侧目的情形一般。基本上,对于与自己不搭调的Body Language还是少用为宜。如果刻意摆首弄姿,往往引起反效果。重要的是,不要勉强。倘若扭捏地模仿“洋人的姿态”,不仅徒然予人卑屈的印象,而且容易招致所谓的“中国人也和洋人作同样的Body Language吗?”的奇妙误解。说话之际最好根据自己本身的经验,采取自然形成的“Body Language”为宜。不过有一点要特别注意,即有关“视线”方面,大部分的中国人都有看着“天空”说话的毛病,容易给予人不诚恳的印象,所以要留心尽量目视观众才好。 二、疑难详解 1. We can learn a lot about what a perso nis thinking by watching his or her body language. 我们能够通过一个人的身体的动作了解他的许多所四所想。 [问]本句中的by watching his or her body language 是什么意思,有何用法? [答]本句中的by watching his or her body language是动名词watching作介词by的宾语。 下面我简单谈一谈动名词的用法,动名词是非谓语动词的一种,在句子中可以用作主语、宾语、表语、定语等成分。 例如:Seeing is believing. (主语)眼见为实。 It is no use sending him over. (主语)派他去没用。 注意:(1)在It is no use (或good,need)... 或It's useless (或worth-while)... 等结构中,常用动名词作真正主语。 (2)在There is no v. -ing ... 结构中,常用动名词作主语。例如: There is no joking about the matter. 这事开不得玩笑。 My job is teaching. 我的工作是教书。(表语) He has finished doing his work. 他已经干完了他的工作。(宾语) 注意:动名词只能作前置定语表示被修饰的词的目的或用途。 例如:a sleeping car (a car for selleping )卧车 下面我在谈一谈动名词的复合结构,其结构形式为“形容词性物主代词(或名词所有格)+动名词”在句中可用做主语、宾语或表语: 例如:Your going there will help a lot. [主语]你去那儿将大有用处。 Do you mind my opening the door?[宾语]我打开门行吗? 注意:(1)如果不是在句首,这种结构在口语中可用“代词宾格(或名词普通格)+动名词”。 Is there any hope of him and his sister winning the prize?他而后他妹妹有希望得奖吗? (2)如果名词是表示无生命事物时,不用名词所有格,只能用“名词的普通格+动名词” Can you hear the noise of the machine renning? 你能听到机器运转的声音吗? 2. Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. 就像口语,体态在不同的文化之间有差异。 [问]请问from culture to culture是什么意思?

In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money. 在日本,看见另外一个人在作这种手势的人,他会以为这种手势指的是钱。 [问]请帮助分析一下这个句子的结构。 [答]好的,本句是一个复合句,其主语为someone, 它由一个定语从句who sees another person making the gesture修饰,而这个从句中又有动词短语to see sb. doing sth. 的结构,其意为“看见某人做某事”,同时,本句还含有一个宾语从句,其意为“看见某人做某事”,同时,本句还含有一个宾语从句it means money。 5. In Bulgaria, parts of Greece, and Iran, however, the gestures have the opposite meaning. 在保加利亚和部分希腊、伊朗地区,可是,这些手势却有相反的意思。 [问]能讲一讲however的用法吗?

He may, however, come later. 他还未到,不过,他可能过一会儿来。 I'd like to go with you, however, my hands are full. 我很想和你一块儿去,可是我忙不过来。 (3)不管用什么方法;无论什么方式 例如:However I cook eggs, the child still refuses to eat them. 不管我用什么方法煮鸡蛋,小孩还是不肯吃。 名题精选: We'll have to finish the job, ___.(90年高考题) A. long it takes however B. it takes however long C. long however it takes D. however long it takes 答案:D。 本题考查however引导的让步状语从句的用法。however表示“不管到什么程度”, 用来引导让步状语从句,本身应放在从句首,其后紧跟它所修饰的形容词或副词。因此,正常的顺序为D项。也可转换成“no natter how long it takes”。 6. There are also differences in how often we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to ,and how we act when we meet or part.在这方面也存在着差异,我们平常怎样相互接触,当我们谈话时,我们离别人站得有多近以及当我们遇见和离开时,我们怎样做动作。 [问]请给我们分析一下这个句子的结构。 [答]这是一个复合句,其主句为There are also differences,后面是how引导的并列的三个宾语从句作介词in的宾语,其中第二个宾语从句 how close we stand to someone we are talking to中又有一个定语从句we are talking to修饰someone,而最后一个宾语从句how we act when we meet or part中还含有时间状语从句when we meet or part。 7. In some countries, for example France and Russia, a visiting friend is greeted with a kiss on the cheek. 在一些国家,比如法国和俄罗斯,来访的朋友通常哟啊被吻脸颊以示欢迎。 [问] with a kiss on the cheek在这里是什么意思? [答]with在这里是prep表示“用”的意思,例如:I pity the orphans with all my heart. 我完全同情这些孤儿。 He opened the door with his key. 他用钥匙开了门。而在a visiting friend中,visiting是一个现在分词作定语,其意为“来访的”。在这里我们要注意with和in的区别, in也可以表示“用”的意思,但一般表示“用文字材料”,例如:write articles in Chinese 用汉语写文章;write in ink (pencil)用钢笔写(无冠词)。 8. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. 微笑能够帮助我们通过困难处境和在陌生的环境中找到朋友。 [问]help us get through 是什么意思? [答]help us get through 是help后跟的不带to的动词不定式,动词help后的不定式既可以带to也可以不带to。而本句中的get through是“通过,度过,打通”的意思。get through 还有“接通(电话),让人了解”的意思。例如:Get it through to him that he must rest. 要让他了解他该休息了。另外,在这里我们归纳一下与get相关的短语: get sth. done (使)让人做好;做(该做的事) I'll just get these dishes washed and then I'll come. 我得把盘子洗了,然后就来。 get across 被理解;使人了解 Did your speech get across to the crowd?你的演说听众理解吗? get down to 认真地静下心(工作) to get down to work 静下心来工作。 get together 相聚,聚会 When can we get together?我们什么时候聚会? 9. A smile can open doors and tear down walls, and it can be used to express almost any emotion. 微笑能打开心扉,消除隔阂,而且,它能被用来表达几乎任何情感。 [问]tear down是什么意思? [答]tear down在这里是“v. 扯下,拆卸”的意思。例如:They are tearing down these old houses to build a new office block. 他们正拆除这些旧房子以便建一座新办公室。tear down walls 在本句中是一个暗喻,意指“消除隔阂”。而be used to do在这里是“被用于”的意思。注意其与be used to doing (习惯于做……),used to do (过去常常做……)的区别。 10. We use a smile to apologize, to greet someone, to ask for help, and to start a conversation. 我们能够用微笑来道歉,问候求助和开始谈话。 [问]ask for 是什么意思? [答]ask for (=enquire after, inquire after)要求,请求;ask for it 自讨苦吃;ask for trouble 自找麻烦 例如:She asked for time to think all this over. 她要求给她时间把这一切好好想想。 Did anyone ask for me?有人找我吗? If you park on those yellow lines ,you are really asking for it. 而且,如果我们感到意志消沉或孤独,就没有什么比看到一个好朋友的笑脸更好的了。 [问]feeling down or lonely 是什么意思, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face 又是什么结构? [答]feeling down or lonely 是感到意志消沉或孤独的意思,在这里down是形容词“沮丧的;意志消沉的”的意思。nothing better than 在这里是加强语气,其意为“没有什么比……更好”。 三、本单元高考热点归纳与拓展 [概述] 本单元的语法重点是动词的-ing形式做主语和宾语,其语法现象我们已经在课文疑难详解中有介绍,而其功能交际项目为“Making offers and requests, 下面我们就作举例说明: (1)提供帮助(offers ) Can (Could, shall) I help you? 我来帮助你好吗?或:你要买什么?

May I ask you a question? 请原谅, 我可以问个问题吗? inquire是较正式的书面用词,含有”渴望知道某人或某事确实情况”的意思,如:He inquired your telephone number.他打听你的电话号码。 question指“对某事不断提出问题,以便了解详细情况”,如: The suspect was questioned by the police.嫌疑犯受到警察审问。 3.辨析anger,rage和fury: 都含有“愤怒”、“生气”的意思。 anger是常用词,强烈的程度不定,有时也可以不露出来,如: Though he felt his anger mounting, he kept perfect control of himself. 虽然他觉得越来越生气,但还是很好地控制住了自己。 rage指“大怒”,强调“愤怒强烈岛爆发而不能控制住”,如: He flew into a rage.他大发雷霆。 fury语气比range强,指“暴怒”,如: In his fury he broke his eyeglasses.盛怒之下,他摔坏了自己的眼镜。 4.辨析see,observe,notice和watch: see有“看”或“看到”的意思,是个通用词,使用范围最广。see的使用范围虽然最广,但作为“看”的含义,不用于祈使句。 Look, he's coming.看,他来了。 Watch him. Don't let him escape. 看看他,别让他逃掉了。 As soon as he saw us, he picked a long pipe which was covered with coins. 他一看到我们就拿起了一颗镶有硬币的长长的管乐器。 observe和notice都有“看到”或“注意到”的意思,但observe强调“留心观察”。 The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. 搜捕工作证明是很困难的,因为人们看到的这只美洲豹常常是早上在一个地方,而晚上又在二十英里之外的另一个地方。 而notice则包含着“偶然看到”的意思,其内涵是“看到目的物后要作出反应”。如:看到熟人常常打个招呼,看到一件事后在脑中进行判断。 ... I happened to walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants....我偶然在花园走着走着,突然看到许多蜗牛在我的一些心爱的植物上悠闲地爬着。 watch表示“观看”或“监视”的意思,一般目的物应处于运动状态。 One day there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. 有一天,当那个妇女进来时,该店里的人比通常少一些,所以侦探比较容易监视她。 Unit 22 A world of fun 一、课文背景知识 迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)是一座主题游乐公园。所谓公园(Theme park), 就是园中的一切,从环境布置到娱乐设施都集中表现一个或几个特定的主题。在主题公园(Theme park)中,人们一会儿退到几千年前的古代社会,一会儿又走进想象中的 未来世界,一会儿坐在美国的小酒店中,一会儿又来到埃及金字塔下,一会儿在海底世界漫游,一会儿又在太空中翱翔。不管游客走到哪里,总有一种身临其境之感。 迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)位于佛罗里达州中部,它是世界上最大的综合游乐场。迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)的诞生,首先要归功于富于想象力和创造精神的美国动画片大师沃尔特.迪斯尼。1995年他在洛衫矶附近创办了第一座现代化的游乐园。取名迪斯尼乐园(Disneyland)。1964年人们可是筹建一座更大规模的游乐公园。这就是迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)。经过五年营造,迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)终于1971年10月向公众开放了。它耗资7.66亿美元,占地面积达109平方公里,是一座老少皆宜的游乐中心。 在迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)中,没有中央大街、小世界、海底两万里、明天的世界、拓荒之地和自由广场等。中央大街上有优雅的老式马车、古色古香的店铺和餐厅茶室等;小世界是专给孩子们设计、为他们所向往的娱乐天地;在“海底两万里”,人们可坐上特制的潜艇,时而来到一片升级勃勃的热带海床,时而又来到阴沉寂寥的寒带海床,尽情观赏五光十色的海底植物和水族,甚至还能看到满载珠宝货物的沉船和因地震陷落海底的古代城市;在“明天的世界”里,人们将置身于一个高度发达的环境中,并可亲自到“月球”上去游览一番;如果来到拓荒之地和自由广场,那就另是一个天地了,在这里人们可以重温当年各国移民在新大陆拓荒的种种情景,和英国殖民时期美州大陆的状况。走在迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)中,还经常会碰到一些演员扮成的米老鼠、唐老鸦、白雪公主和七个小矮人,更使儿童心复萌,游兴大发。 迪斯尼世界(Disneyland)不仅是个游乐场,同时又是一个旅游中心,游客来此还可以到附近的海滩游泳、滑冰、驾帆船,到深海捕鱼,乘气球绳空,或是参观附近的名胜古迹。这些丰富多彩的节目,给迪斯尼世界更增添了几分魅力。 二、疑难详解 1.

[答]好的,下面我介绍一下中国民族文化公园:它是国内第一个荟萃个民族民间艺术、民俗风情和民居建筑于一圆的大型文化游览景区,它占地20万平方米,村内24个各具有特色的山寨、庭院和街市按原貌以1:1的比例建成,并以“源于生活、高于生活、荟萃精华、有所舍取”为建村原则,从不同角度多侧面地反映了中国丰富多采的民俗文化。村寨的风情表演、中心剧场的民族歌舞表演和民族文化广场的大型广场艺术汇演,从三不同层次将民族歌舞艺术的神韵展示得淋漓尽致。同时五十六个民族风格迥异的节日庆典活动也在中国民俗文化村进行得红红火火,傣族的泼水节,彝族的火把节、苗族的芦笙节以及华夏民族大庙会等活动将游客带入了一个迷人的民族文化空间。“二十四个村寨,五十六族风情”, 中国民俗文化村以其原汁原味的民族风情、辉煌壮观的广场汇演、优美和谐的旅游氛围吸引着世界各地的每一位游客。本句中的五十五个民族不包括汉族。 3. What they all have in common is having fun and experiencing something different. 他们的共性就在于他们都比较有趣而且人们在那儿也可以经历不同的事。 [问]能给我们分析一下这个句子的结构吗? [答]这个句子的结构比较复杂,What they all havew in common是一个主语从句,而having fun and experiencing something different是动名短语作表语。 名题精选:___the 2000 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing is not known yet. A. Whenever B. If C. Whether D. That 答案C。 从谓语“还不知道”可确定,主语从句的引导此应为“是否”排除A、D。而“If”作是否“讲时,不能用于句首,多用于宾语从句,排除B。 4. Many people come to theme parks looking for thrills and entertainment. 很多人到主题公园来寻找刺激和娱乐。 [问]请问looking for thrills and entertainment是什么意思? [答]looking for thrills and entertainment是“寻找刺激和娱乐”的意思,是现在分词作状语,这是本单元的语法重点,下面我们作一下简要介绍:(1)现在分词作伴随状语。 例如: They stood there waiting for the bus. 他们站在那儿等公共汽车。 (2)现在分词作时间、原因或条件状语时,通常位于句子的前部;作方式、伴随或结果状语时,通常位于句子的后部。 例如:Walking in the street, I saw her. (时间状语)正在街上走着,我看见了她。 The parents died, leavign him an orphan. (结果状语)父母亲去世了,他成了一个孤儿。 (3)现在分词的独立结构。 现在分词所表示的动作的逻辑主语一般和句子的主语一致;但有的现在分词短语有它自己的独立的主语(在分词短语之前),这种主语常常是 名词或代词(主格);这种结构叫做独立结构,只能作状语。 例如:The rain being over, we continued to march. [时间状语]雨过之后,我们继续前进。 (4)有时也可用“with (或 without)+名词(或代词宾格)+分词”的结构表伴随情况。 例如:The boy returned, (with)his nose bleeding. [如果省去with就是分词的独立结构] 那孩子回来了,鼻子流着血。 名题精选:There was a terrible noise ___ the sudden burst of light. (1989年高考题) A. followed B. following C. to be followed D. being followed 答案:B。follow只能加单宾语,现在其后已有宾语,因此不能用被动式,排除C、D。followed若是过去分词,则有被动意义,不能用;若是过去式,则其前还缺定语从句的主语which或that, 故排除A。 本句意为“在那突然的光闪过之后是一声可怕的巨响。” 5. But theme parks also try to make sure that visitors leave knowing more about the diea behind the park. 主题公园也尽力保证游者在离开后仍能更多地了解主题公园的内涵。 [问]请问knowing more about the diea behind the park在这里是什么结构? [答]knowing more about the diea behind the park在这里也是分词结构作伴随状语。 名题精选:The picture ___ on the wall is painted by my nephew. A. having hung B. hanging C. hangs D. being hung 答案B. 因主语“The picture"已有谓语“is painted ” 与之搭配,选项动词则排除谓语动词C (除非其前有which与之构成定语从句)。又因“悬挂”不是发生在谓语动词之前,不用完成时,排除A。要强调正“悬挂着”的状态,用不及物动词词性,不是强调“正在被挂”的动作,不用被动语态,排除D。 6.
