学习方略

 

【方略点悟】

本单元的主要语法项目是祈使句及其间接引语。

1. 祈使句是一种表示命令或请求的句式,分为肯定和否定两种形式。例如:

Please open the door.

No smoking/parking/entry/litter.

   Don’t do that again.

   Don’t swim in the river.

2. 直接引语变间接引语

直接引语为祈使句,变为间接引语时常用“动词+宾语+不定式”结构。当直接引语为命令的祈使句,变为间接引语时常用动词order, tell, warn 等;当直接引语为请求的祈使句,变为间接引语时常用动词ask, beg 等; 当直接引语为建议、劝告的祈使句,变为间接引语时常用动词advise等。例如:

He said, “Please come here again tomorrow.”

→ He asked me to go there again the next day.

He said, “Don’t do that again.”

→ He told me not to do that again.

He said, “Get everything ready in two hours.”

→ He ordered us to get everything ready in two hours.

 “You’d better have a try again,” the teacher said.

→ The teacher advised me to have a try again.

【导学点拨】

1. In some important ways they are very different from one another.

in some way(s)在某(些)方面;在某种程度(意义)上

 in a way在某种程度上,就某个意义来说

 in the way挡道;碍事;妨碍

 by way of经由……

 in no way决不;一点也不

 e. g.   He is, in some ways, a better businessman than you are.

 

He is not a bad fellow in some ways.

 

In a way I can see what you mean, even though I don’t share your point of view.

 

I can’t get through the door because there is a big box in the way.

 

We came by way of London.

 

We can in no way allow this to continue.

 2. ... because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.

because of 意为“因为;由于”,是介词短语,后接名词、代词或动名词,不能接句子。

because 意为“因为”,是连词,后面必须跟从句。

e.g. He didn’t come because of the illness.

 

   He didn’t come because he was ill.

 

   The sports meeting was postponed because of the bad weather.

 

   The sports meeting was postponed because the weather was bad.

3. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.

  more ... than ever before 比以往任何时候更……

  e.g. Our country develops faster than ever before.

 

Kate looks much prettier than ever before.

4. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same  kind of English.

  even if / though意为“即使;纵然”,是连接词,引导一个让步状语从句。

  e.g. I’ll help you, even if I don’t sleep for a night.

 

Even if he knows the secret, he won’t let it out.

5. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present.

(1) be based on/upon ...以……为基础

  e.g. This song is based on an old folk tune.

 

This book is based on a true story. 

 

Alice always bases her opinions on the facts.

(2)present 意为“现在的;到场的”,常用短语是at present,意为“现在;目前”。

e.g. At present, we are living in Haikou.

 

She is all right at present.

6. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.

  make use of 利用;使用

e.g. He makes good use of any opportunity to practice English.

 

      You can make any use of it as you like.

 

      She began to consider what use could be made of it.

7. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.

(1)辨析:for example和such as

for example作为独立语插入句中,可用在所举例子(通常是一个)的前面或后面。

e.g. A lot of people here, for example,John,would rather have coffee.

 

Many great men have risen from poverty—Lincoln and Edison,for example.

such as用来列举一类事物,as之后不用逗号隔开。

e.g. They export a lot of fruit, such as oranges, lemons,etc.

(2)a number of 和 numbers of 意为“许多;大量”,后接复数名词,此短语加复数名词在句中作主语时,谓语动词用复数。

  e.g. There were a large number of people here.

 

We have lived here quite a number of years.

 

      A number of people were absent from the meeting.

 

      Numbers of people came to the meeting from all over the country.

  对比: the number of ...意为“……的数目”,后接可数名词复数,作主语时谓语动词用单数。

e.g. The number of students has increased over the years.

8. request n.& v. 要求;请求

e.g. Your request will be granted.

 

He requested his guests to sit down.

  request ... from / of ... 向某人要求……

e.g. He requested a loan (贷款) from the bank.

辨析:request,require和demand

      request意为 “请求”,主要用于比较客气、礼貌的场合。

      require意为 “要求”,强调“客观上的必要或必须” 。

      demand意为 “强烈要求”,含有“要求对方服从”的意思,口气强硬。

e.g.  Passengers are requested not to smoke.

 

      You’re required by law to send your children to school.

 

      The workers are demanding more money.

注意:request,demand和command 后接从句时需用虚拟语气。

 

request/demand/command + that 从句 (用should + 动词原形),should可省略。

e.g.   I request that he (should) leave.

9. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English.

  believe it or not 是固定用法,意为“信不信由你”。

  e.g. Believe it or not, Vincent told a lie.

 

      Believe it or not, his father is very strict with him.

10. Geography also plays a part in making dialects.

play a part in 在……中起作用;在……扮演角色

e.g. Science plays a part in developing production.

 

Water and air play a very important part in our life.

 

Who will play the part of Hamlet in the play?
