(from) doing sth. 结构。 e.g. My mum often prevents me from going out at night. 母亲经常阻止我晚上出去。 2. I suppose that’s because public transport is much better today. 1) suppose 作动词，意为“认为；猜想”，其后可跟 that 引导的宾语从句，也可跟带不定式的复合结构，其中不定式主要是 to be 形式。 e.g. I suppose (that) he will be back by eight o’clock. 我想他 8 点以前会回来。 I suppose him to be at home. 我想他在家。 They suppose her to be a doctor. 他们猜想她是一名医生。 2) 在“ I suppose + that 引导的宾语从句”中 , 对从句否定时 , 否定要前移 , 类似 think, believe, guess 等动词的用法。 e.g. I don’t suppose I’ll trouble you again. 我想我不会再来打扰你了。 3) “be supposed to + 动词原形”常用来表示主语应该做某事（相当于 should + 动词原形），其人称、时态和数的变化在 be 动词上体现 。如： You are supposed to / should clean the outside of the window. 你应该把窗户外面擦干净。 请用 suppose 的适当形式填空。 1.

That’s true . The advantage is that we know more about medicine today . We’re better at preventing illness . But people don’t eat as well as in the past , and don’t take as much exercise as they did . Pronunciation and speaking Listen and notice the stressed words. Yes, I agree. People walk or use their bikes less, and they’re lazier. Faster transport also makes more pollution. And that makes life more dangerous and less healthy. Underline the words which you think the speaker will stress. Now listen and check. As you listen, say the passage aloud. Pair work Talk about your answer to the question. Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago? Say what’s better or worse in: at home education entertainment environment life medicine transport work Sample dialogue S1: Do you think life today is better or worse than it was 50 years ago?
