3. Explain the language pints in 2d.
(1) Go along Main Street until you pass Center Street.
1) until和 till同义为“直到……” ，till多用于口语，until可以放在句首，till则不能放在句首。

e.g. I did not study English until 9 o'clock last night.
(2) Pardon? Restroom? You already want to rest? But we haven’t even started yet!
1) pardon用作动词，后面既可以跟宾语，也可以跟双宾语；pardon sb. for doing sth.意为“原谅/宽恕某人做某事”
e.g. Can you pardon me for not passing the exam, Mom?
2) 在没有听懂对方的话，请对方重复一 下时也可说 pardon。
e.g. Pardon? I’m sorry I can’t follow you.
(3) I’m excited to try the rides!
excited和 exciting的区别:
1) excited意为“激动的；兴奋的”，作表语时，主语通常是人；作定语时，常用来修饰人，说明激动的表情。
e.g. All of us were excited when we heard the good news.
The excited child opened his present quickly.

3. Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why?
Step 4 Practice
Underline the questions or statements in the conversation that ask for information. Rewrite them in a different way.
e.g. I wonder where we should go next.
Could you tell me where we could go next?
Check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6 Language points
1. I was scared at first, but shouting did help.
此句相当于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped. 原句是一种表现强调的句式，英语中，可用助动词do对谓语动词进行强调，构成强调句。
e.g. Please do be careful. 请一定小心。
I do agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。
He did warn you other day, remember? 他前两天就告诫过你，还记得吗？
2. You never know until you try something.
try的用法
1) 做名词 have a try 试一试
e.g. Why not have a try? 为什么不试一试？
2) 做动词
(1) try to do sth. 努力做某事
e.g. Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time.
那好。我们争取及时完成作业。
(2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着去做某事
e.g. -- I usually go there by train. 我通常乘火车去那儿。
-- Why not try going by boat for a change? 为什么不换乘船呢?
(3) try one’s best 尽某人最大的努力
e.g. Thank you. I will try my best.
谢谢你。我会尽力而为的。
3. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.
suggest作动词，可意为“显示；间接表明”，后可接宾语从句。
e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man.
他的行为显示他是个好人。
suggest作“建议”讲时，应注意以下两点：
1) suggest doing sth. 建议做某事
e.g. I suggested going home.
我建议回家。
2) suggest后接从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，谓语由“should +动词原形”构成，
should可以省略。
e.g. I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家。
另外，suggestion是suggest的名词形式，作“建议”讲时，是可数名词。
e.g. Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建议吗？
4. The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table.
用于“就餐”的语境时，形容词busy相当于“吃饭人多；餐厅拥挤”的意思；动词短语to get a table类似于汉语“定餐桌；占位子”等意思。

Step 9 Language points
1. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
less + 形容词或副词，构成降级比较形式，相当于中文“不那么；稍许不……”之意。
e.g. His second movie is less interesting.
他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有可能，也许会”，但语气更加委婉，更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.
他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】
在英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，避免头重脚轻，通常用it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
如：It’s kind of you to say so.
Step 10 Exercises

Ⅲ. Grammar
一般过去时态的被动语态的构成
英语有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者，而被动语态则表示主语是动作的承受者。如：
We cleaned the classroom yesterday.
我们昨天打扫了教室。
(主动语态，主语we是clean这一动作的执行者)
The classroom was cleaned yesterday.
教室昨天被打扫。
(被动语态，主语the classroom是clean这一动作的承受者)
一、一般过去时被动语态
一般过去时被动语态的结构为“主语+ was /were +及物动词的过去分词 (+by+动作的执行者).”。如：
Trees were planted last spring.
去年春天种了树。
1. 肯定句：
主语 + was/were +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他.
Paper was invented by Chinese people two thousand years ago.
纸是中国人在二千多年前发明的。
2. 否定句：
主语 + was/were not +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他.
Women were not allowed to take part in the games at first.
开始妇女不允许参加奥运会。
3. 一般疑问句：
Was/Were +主语 +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他?
Were these pictures drawn by your sister?
这些图片是由你妹妹画的吗？
二、被动语态的用法：
1. 不知道谁是动作的执行者，或没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者。
e.g. English is spoken all over the world. 全世界都在说英语。
2. 需要突出或强调动作的承受者。
e.g. This dictionary is used by most students.
这本字典是大多数学生在用的。
三、主动语态变被动语态应注意的问题
1. 有些短语动词相当于及物动词，变为被动句时介词或副词不能去掉。
They put off the meeting because of the weather.
The meeting was put off because of the weather.
会议因天气的缘故被推迟了。
2. 含有双宾语的主动句变为被动句时，通常把指“人”的间接宾语变为主语，指“物”的直接宾语保留不变；如果把指物”的直接宾语变为主语，则在间接宾语前加to或for。
My aunt gave me an e-dictionary yesterday.
I was given an e-dictionary yesterday.
An e-dictionary was given to me yesterday.
3. 主动句中感官动词see/hear/watch/feel等和使役动词make/let/have等后跟省略to
的动词不定式，变为被动语态时应加上不定式符号to。
I saw a heavy man enter the house.
A heavy man was seen to enter the house.
4. 系动词、不及物动词或某些短语动词（happen, take place, come true, fall asleep…）没有被动语态。
What happened to Mr. Brown?
布朗先生发生了什么事？
Ⅳ. Exercises

_______ Columbus discovered _________?
Ⅴ. Practice
Work on 4a:
1. Tell Ss to read the sentences in 4a and rewrite the sentences using the passive voice.
2. 做题方法点拨示例：
① 点拨：原句为一般过去时态，原句的谓语动词为sold，宾语为the fridge；改为被动语态时，应将the fridge作主语，谓语动词用was sold的形式。
They sold the fridge at a low price. →
The fridge was sold at a low price.
② 点拨：分析原句的句子结构可知，stole是谓语动词，my camera是句子的宾语；改为被动语态句时，应将my camera作句子主语，谓语动词用was stolen的形式。
Somebody stole my camera from my hotel room. →

When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”
But I talked back again — “I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream. And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten. I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!

2. Well, where did you last put it ?

e.g. join the Army/the Party/the League
join sb. in (doing) sth. 和某人一道做某事
e.g. Will you join us in the picnic? 你参加我们的野炊吗？
join in多指参加小规模的活动如“游戏, 比赛”, 口语中常用。
e.g. Join in the basketball game. 参加篮球赛。
take part in 指参加会议或群众性活动, 着重说明主语参加该项活动并在活动中发挥作用。
e.g. We’ll take part in the sports meeting/club.
take an active part in 积极参加……
attend 正式用语
vt. 指参加会议, 婚礼, 葬礼, 典礼; 去上课, 上学, 听报告等。
句子主语只是去听, 去看, 自己不一定起积极作用。
e.g. I attended a night school. 我上夜校。
4. I think somebody must have picked it up.
must在此处表示推测, 意为“一定”。英语中当情态动词后接have done时, 表达对过去的事情进行推测, 故must have done something表示“过去一定做过了”这样的意思。
e.g. He’s playing outside. He must have finished his homework.
5. I’ll call them now to check if anybody has it.
anybody pron. 任何人
常用于否定句或疑问句中; 当用于肯定句中时, 相当于any person, 意为“任何

4. I only like movies that are funny.
5. In this case, I’ll ask someone who likes serious movies.
6. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.
IX. Language points
1. Hmm, depends which movie.
1) 本句省略了depends前的主语it和which movie后的从句部分we’ll watch，这是典型的口语表达形式。在口语和非正式场合，为保持语言简洁明了，交流者往往会省略彼此所知或逻辑上可明确推断的内容。例如：
Anything I can do for you?
我能为您做些什么吗？（省略句首部分Is there）
Please hand me one of those books; I don’t care which.
请把那些书递给我一本，不管哪本都行。（省略句尾部分you hand me）
2) It depends (on) who/ what/ how/ whether…是一个常见句型。当depend后接疑问词及含有疑问词的短语和从句时，口语中会省略depend后的介词on，以求话语简练。例如：
It depends what day you catch me, and at what time of day.
这取决于你哪天见我，以及见我的时间。
Well, as for this matter, I can’t decide for now. Depends whether or not your dad will say yes.
嗯，这件事我现在决定不了，取决于你老爸是否会同意。
2. I just want to laugh and not think too much.
这句话中的to laugh和not think too much均为动词不定式，但后者在not和
think之间省略了to。英语语句中当多个不定式结构并列使用时，to出现在第一个结构中，后面的往往会省略。再如：
She likes to sing, dance and hang out with her friends.
她喜欢唱歌、跳舞、与朋友们外出消遣。
3. I prefer music that has great lyrics.
句中的prefer意为“更喜爱；更喜欢”，后可接名词、v.-ing形式或动词不定式。如：
I prefer the white bag. 我更喜欢那个白色的包。
Tony prefers staying / to stay at home on weekends.
托尼更喜欢周末待在家。
此外，prefer还可用于句型“prefer ... to ...”中，意为“喜欢……而不喜欢(胜过)……”。如：
Linda prefers apples to pears.
琳达喜欢苹果而不喜欢梨。
I prefer reading books to watching TV. 我喜欢阅读而不喜欢看电视。
4. I suppose I’ll just listen to this new CD I bought.
仔细观察下面例句中suppose的用法和意义，然后补全结论部分所缺的内容。
a. We are supposed to get there on time.
b. I suppose she will be back next year.
c. —Do you suppose he will agree?
—Yes, I suppose so. / No, I suppose not.
a. We are supposed to get there on time.
（1）观察例句a可知，“被期望/要求做某事”或“该做某事”可用 __________________ 结构表示，含有必须、应该做某事之意，相当于should。
b. I suppose she will be back next year.
c. —Do you suppose he will agree?
—Yes, I suppose so. / No, I suppose not.
（2）例句b中“suppose +that从句”意为“猜测/假定……”，that可以省略，若为否定句，和think，believe等动词的用法一样，应该否定____(主语/从句)
，即否定前移；例子c中对疑问句作肯定回答可用________________ ，否定回答可用No, I suppose not。
X. Grammar
在复合句中修饰名词或代词的从句叫定语从句
e.g. I like music that I can dance to.
music 是先行词，that是关系代词
He is the man who I met yesterday.
man是先行词，who是关系代词
RULES
人 (n.) + who/that + 从句 物 (n.) + that/which + 从句
关系代词who; that;的作用：
a. 做代词，代替先行词
b. 在从句中担任句子成分：主语或宾语
c. 做连词，把主句和从句连接起来
who / that/which 在定语从句中做主语时，
谓语动词的单复数应与先行词保持一致
I prefer shoes that______ cool. (be)
I like a pizza that______ really delicious. (be)
I love singers who ______ beautiful. (be)
I have a friend who _______ sports. (play)
在2d中找定语从句。
1. I suppose I’ll just listen to this new CD I bought.
2. I like smooth music that helps me relax after a long week at work.
3. I only like movies that are funny.
4. In this case, I’ll ask someone who likes serious movies.

4. I like the present ________ you’ve sent to me.

VIII. Language points
1. They go out of their way to make me feel at home.
go out of one’s way 特地；格外努力
e.g. John went out of his way to make his girl friend happy.
约翰想方设法使他的女朋友高兴。
make sb. feel at home 使某人感到宾至如归
e.g. I’m doing everything I can to make them feel at home.
我在尽我一切所能使他们感到宾至如归。
2. You wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved because of that.
You wouldn’t believe …是一个常用句式，相当于汉语所说的“你无法想象……
；你想都想不到……；你绝不会相信……”，表示所陈述的事情超出想象之外。与此类似的表达还有You would never believe…或You would hardly believe…。例如：
You wouldn’t believe that he found his long-lost sister in Taiwan!
你绝对想不到他在台湾找到了失散多年的姐姐！
You would never believe what quick progress he’s made ever since he attended your class.
你根本无法想象，自从他听了您的讲课后进步有多大。
3. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.
learning how to behave at the table是现在分词短语，在此用作句子的表语。再如：
His main hobby is fishing. 他的主要爱好是钓鱼。
The most important thing is getting there in time. 最重要的事是及时到达那里。
behave
【讲解】behave是不及物动词，意为“表现；行为”，behave well / badly表示“表现好/糟糕”。它的名词形式behaviour(举止；行为)，是不可数名词。
【运用】请根据汉语意思补全英语句子，每空一词。
(1) 如果你那样表现，你会让人厌恶的。
____ you _______ like that, you’ll get yourself disliked.
(2) 如此的行为可能招致麻烦。
______ ________ may cause trouble.
4. … but I’m gradually getting used to it. get used to 习惯于
e.g. We get used to this way of speaking,.
我们习惯了这种说话方式。
辨析：
① be/get used to sth./doing sth. 习惯于…
e.g. He got used to living in the country.
他习惯住在乡下。
② used to do sth. 过去常常做某事（现在不做了）
e.g. He used to plant roses.
他过去常常种植玫瑰。
5. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hand except bread, not even fruit.
except作介词，意为“除……之外”，和but意义相似，但语气上要比but更加强烈。
1) Everyone is here except him.
2) We have classes except Saturday and Sunday.
通过观察例句1和例句2，我们可知except后可以跟 ______ 和 ______ 。
3) I can take a holiday at any time except in September.
通过观察例句3，可知，except后也可跟__________。
4) He never came to visit except to borrow something.
5) He will do anything except lent you money.
通过观察例句4，可知except后可接动词不定式。意思是“除了做……”。但在例句5中except后为“lend you money”，所以我们可知若except前含不定代词时，就要______________________。
【运用】将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。
1. 除了烹调，她别的都会干。
______________________________
2. 我除了要通过考试之外，没有别的心愿。
____________________________________________

BBC——飞翔的企鹅
2008年，BBC摄制组在南极附近拍摄了自然历史系列《进化的奇迹》（Miracles of Evolution）。里面讲述了阿德利企鹅飞翔的故事。这个飞翔企鹅的视频成了互联网上观看最多的视频之一。解说员特瑞•琼斯（Terry Jones）解释说，这些企鹅
不是挤在一起忍受冬季的严寒，而是飞去几千英里以外的南美洲热带雨林，享受热带温暖的阳光。如此有爱的愚人节玩笑是相当具有迷惑性的。作为具有专业精神的媒体，BBC随后揭秘了他们是如何制作翔企鹅特效的——其实就是动画
啦。
最著名的玩笑：BBC——意大利面条树大丰收
还是在遥远的1957年，英国的BBC电视台在4月1日播出了这样一条消息 ：多亏刚过去的温和冬天，以及有效的控制了面条树虫害，瑞士南部一户农家的意大利面条喜获大丰收。画面中，一名女子仔细的将意大利面条从树上摘下来，把它们放到太阳下晒干。
因为在当时，意大利菜在英国还不常见。许多英国人并不知道意大利面条是用小麦粉做成的。上百通电话打到BBC，有人指出消息错误，有人疑惑不解，甚至有人询问：怎么自己种意大利面条树呢？
这可以算是电视媒体最早加入4月1日愚人节整人活动行列的例子。多年后的CNN文章，还评价它是史上最大的一个玩笑。

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. With the development of the society, there are too many cars on the streets in our city. Cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe. Black smoke and poisonous gas are given off by factories. Factories also put waste into the river. And wherever we go, we can find rubbish.
Now more and more people have realized these problems. I think that governments should close down the factories and develop laws to stop people from driving cars every day. I suggest everyone in this town should help to clean up the river and the streets. We should call on everyone in the town to throw rubbish in the dustbins.
I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.

One day Mrs. Wong spoke to me after class. She encouraged me to speak slowly. She also told me that she believed I could speak well if I practise more. I was touched by what she said and it made me work harder on my speaking skills.

When I was a boy, I was a football fan. I always played football with some other boys in the backyard all the time. My mom was worried that I would get ill in the hot summer.
One day my brother gave me a new football. I came into the yard and played it excitedly. But suddenly, the ball flew through the window and nearly hit my dad. Dad said nothing. He took my football and cut it in half.

The class in the America is almost the same as that in China. But something is different. In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat. If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn. You mustn’t be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows a make-up test(补考), you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school. Be on time! It is impolite to be late. If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the US, you needn’t knock before you come into the classroom. If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too. You don’t need to ask the teacher’s agreement.

Mobile phone (手机)has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned (禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.
Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the schools this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas presents, and more students want them.
Mary Bluett, an official(官员), said mobile phone use is a distraction(分心) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.
She said some schools had tried to ban (禁止) mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy, because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.
Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school office. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school; they were easy to lose and were a distraction(分心) from studies.
Many people say that they understand why parents would like their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

“ Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 each hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you ask for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish!”
The little boy went to his room without words and shut the door. After a shout while, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
