二、重要句型或语法
四、读写重点
1、动名词
与第20课侧重“动词 动名词”的用法不同的是,本课新增了“介词 动名词”、同一动词后接不定式和动名词、主动表被动的用法。如:
Both men started running through the trees.
The strap needs mending.
I am very keen on cycling.
He sat there without saying anything.
I must apologize for not letting you know earlier.
They continued to run. vs. They continued running.
I'd love to sit in the garden. vs. I love sitting in the garden when it's fine.
2、结果状语从句
本课里出现了so/such...that...引导的结果状语从句,如:
三、课文主要语言点
Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.
The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.
Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. | 1)think of,想到。注意与think about(思考的区别。 2)注意she was taking是先行词the risk的定语从句,中间省略了关系代词that或which。 3)take a risk,冒险。注意risk也可以作为动词,表示冒险,如:risk doing sth.,冒险做某事;risk one's life for sth.,为了某事冒着生命的危险。 4)注意在when she ran through a forest after two men中,ran后面原本应该先紧接after two men的,因为run after是固定搭配,表示追赶。但是,作者却在中间插入了through a forest,这是出于对下一句话衔接的需要,因为作者想要表达的重点就是two men,下一句话的开头中的they指的就是two men。 5)through a forest,穿过森林。注意从某地方内部或里面穿过,一般用through,如果从某地方表面穿过,一般用across。 |
They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. | 1)可提问学生为什么此处的rush要采用过去完成时(因为这句话是基于上一句话的过去时间来讲的,rush的动作发生在think of之前,即过去的过去)。 2)rush up to sb.,向某人冲过去。 3)have a picnic,野餐。注意picnic的发音,第一个c会发生爆破音的消失现象;此外,picnic也可以用作动词,其现在分词为picnicking。 4)at the edge of,在...边缘。 5)注意区分try to do(努力做)与try doing(尝试做)的区别。 6)注意steal(偷)与rob(抢)的区别。注意steal的过去式和过去分词为stole何stolen。 |
In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. | 1)struggle,挣扎、斗争。 2)with the bag in their possession在此用作插入语,表示伴随。这是一种独立主格结构,即“with 名词 介词短语”的结构。 3)possession是possess的名词。in one's possession,拥有、掌握。 4)start to do和start doing用法差不多,但要注意动名词一般表示动作会持续下去,而不定式则只表示动作的开始。 |
Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after the them. | 1)注意so...that...引导的结果状语从句,so用来修饰形容词或副词。 2)注意get angry与be angry相比,动作含义更强,所以作者采用了get angry的表达,来突出Mrs. Sterling非常生气。 |
She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. | 1)out of breath,上气不接下气、急喘气。 2)continue to do和continue doing意思和用法都差不多,表示继续做某事。 |
When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. | 1)catch up with,追上、赶上。 2)注意因为saw是过去式,所以其宾语从句的谓语动词sit采用了过去完成时的用法。 3)go through,翻看、查看。 4)content,内容、物品、目录。 5)run straight at sb.,径直朝某人跑去。 |
The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. | 1)注意such...that...引导的结果状语从句,such用来修饰名词。 2)fright,害怕,用作名词。其动词形式为frighten。 3)drop,丢弃、丢掉。注意其过去式要双写p再加ed。 4)run away,逃跑。 |
The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.' | 1)注意本句中的sth need doing,是主动表被动的用法,相当于sth. need to be done。类似的用法有:sth. want doing,但此时的want doing不能改为want to be done的用法。 2)mend,修理、修补。 |
四、读写重点
课文第1句话中的ran through a forest after two men与第2句话开头出现的they的前后呼应,充分考虑到了前后内容的衔接,这是在写作中需要注意的。
