一、教法建议
【抛砖引玉】
单元双基学习目标
Ⅰ. 词汇学习
rock , hardly , low , rise , famous , photograph , at the foot of , at all , fly over , a line of mountains , ask for
Ⅱ. 句型学习
I like writing to my penfriend , but it takes a lot of time .
Though much of its land is sand , it grows a lot of fruit .
Hardly any .
None at all .
Ⅲ. 交际英语
谈论某一国家的地理位置及气候、特征。
【指点迷津】
单元重点词汇点拨
1 . take 耗费 ( 时间 ) ；需要 ( 多少时间 )
It may take me several weeks to get back .
It will take them three hours to do this work .
This work will take them three hours .
〖点拨〗take 的过去式took，过去分词 taken。It takes sb . some time to do sth . 某人花费多少时间做某事。
2 . rock 岩石；大石头
They found a good place in the rocks .
〖点拨〗rock 主要指巨石、暗礁，stone 主要指小石块。
3 . hardly 几乎不；简直不
I\'m so tired that I can hardly walk .
That is hardly possible .
There is hardly a cloud in the sky .
〖点拨〗hardly 作“简直不”讲时，多和 can 连用，hardly 后面可以接用 when 引导的从句，意思是“一……就……”。如：He had hardly walked into the classroom when it began to rain cats and dogs . 他刚一进教室，天就下起了大雨。
4 . sky 天空
There were no clouds in the sky .
〖点拨〗sky 通常用作单数，与定冠词连用。如有形容词修饰时，可与不定冠词连用。
a blue sky 蔚蓝的天空。in the sky在天空。
5 . rise 上升，上涨
The sun rises in the east .
After the heavy rain the river will rise .
Prices continue to rise .
〖点拨〗rise 的过去式是rose，过去分词为 risen。rise 是不及物动词，表示的是自然界中，日、月、水位、物价等的自然上升。
6 . grass 草，草地
Sheep live on grass .
Keep off the grass ! 请勿践踏草地 ！
〖点拨〗grass常作不可数名词用。a leaf of grass 一片草叶。
7 . famous 著名的
The town is famous for its hot springs .
He is a famous man .
〖点拨〗be famous for 以……而著名。be famous as 作为……而出名。
My uncle is famous for his songs .
Her sister is famous as a singer .
单元词组思维运用
1 . neither of 两者皆不
Neither of my parents enjoys good health . 我父母的身体都不健康。
〖说明〗①neither of 只表示“两个人或物都不”，不能用来表示两个以上的人或物。谓语动词用单数。若表示两个以上的人或物，就得用 none , not one , not any .
②both of 则表示“两者都”，either of 则表示“两者中任一”，如：
Both of them have come . 他们俩都来了。
Neither of them has come . 他们俩都没来。
Either of them has come . 他们俩全都来了。
〖说明〗both of 着重指整体“两者都”，either 虽然也有“两者都”之意，但强调“两者中的任何一个”。故：both of 作主语时，谓语动词用复数。either of 作主语时，谓语动词用单数。作形容词时，both 修饰复数名词，either 修饰单数名词。neither 作形容词，也是修饰单数名词。如：
You can sit on either of the end of the boat .
Both answers are correct . 两个答案都对。
Either answer is correct . 两个 ( 中的任何一个 ) 答案都对。
Neither answer is correct . 两个答案都不对。
2 . at first 起初，开始时
At first the baby was happy . Half an hour later she began to cry .
at last 最后，终于／at the beginning of 起初
At last he had an idea . 终于，他有了主意。
I found a job at the beginning of last month . 上月初我找到一份工作。
3 . climb up 攀登，爬上
There he gets out of the lift and climbs up to the fifteenth floor on foot .
4 . at the foot of 在……的底部 ( 脚下 )
There is a small river at the foot of the hill .
5 . go down 下去， ( 日，月等 ) 落下
The sun has gone down .
The wind has gone down a little .
6 . have a great time =enjoy oneself过得愉快极了
I had a great time during the holidays .
—Did you have a great time at her birthday party ?
—Yes , we had a great ( good , nice , wonderful ) time .
7 . at all 全然；究竟
①用于否定句，意为“一点儿也不”，“完全不”。
I didn\'t understand anything at all .
No problem at all . 完全不成问题。
②用于疑问句，意为“究竟”，“到底”，“真的”。
Do you know it at all ?
8 . be interested in 对…感兴趣
At the age of eight he became very interested in maths .
9 . have a big smile 满面笑容
You can see from my photograph that I have a big smile and long black hair .
He had a big smile when I met him next .
10 . ask for 要求，约请
Mary asked for time to think this over .
11 . be covered with 覆盖着
The table is covered with a cloth .
The mountains were covered with snow .
二、学海导航
【学法指要】
单元难点疑点思路明晰
1 . 由 though 引导的状语从句的句型
Though I like writing to my penfriend , it takes a lot of time . 虽然我喜欢给笔友写信，但花了很多时间。
※ 由连词 though ( 虽然 ) 引导的状语从句，全句中有“但是”之意，然而 thought 与 but 不能前后连用，只能用其中一个。上句也可以说成：
I like writing to my penfriend , but it takes a lot of time .
※ though 引出的从句放在句首时，从句后面要有逗号。但也可将 though 引出的状语从句放在主句之后。
Though it was raining , he went there .
He didn\'t do this work well though he did his best . 虽然他尽了最大努力，但还是没干好这工作。
※ though 常与 even 连用，表示强调。如：
Even though I didn\'t understand a word , I kept smiling .
2 . 由 after 引导的时间状语从句的句型
But after we left the mountains behind us , there was hardly a cloud in the sky . 然而当我们把群山峻岭甩在后面后，天空几乎万里万云。
※ after we left the mountains behind us，是由连词 after 引导的时间状语从句。引导时间状语从句的还可由 when , while , before , till , since 等词引起。
leave behind 是“把 ( 某物 ) 留在 ( 某物 ) 的后面”。
由 after 引导的时间状语从句举例如下：
After we had finished lunch , we all sat on the grass .
※ after 引导的从句，有时放在主句之后。如：
I arrived at the station after the train had left .
3 . They say that… =It is said that … 据说
…and they say that there are ten sheep for every person . 据说每人占有十头羊。
句中的 they 并没有具体的对象，泛指人们 ( people ) 。
They say that… =People say that… =It is said that… 如：
It is said that he will leave in a few days . 据说他过几天就要动身。
4 . How often do you write ? 你们隔多久通一次信 ?
( 1 ) How often 常用来询问动作的频率，回答可用：some times／very often／not too often／once／twice／three times a year…有时／经常／一年一次 ( 二次／三次 ) 等。例如：
—How often do you go to see your grandmother in the countryside ? 你多久去看一次住在农村的祖母 ?
—Twice a year . 一年去两次。
( 2 ) 注意下面以 how 提问的句子的准确含意。
—How long have you waited here ?
— For about two hours .
how long 表示动作或状态“延续的时间”。
—How much time did you spend on this work ?
— Just a week .
how much time 表示一个“总的时间量”。
5 . …because neither of us has much time . ……因为我们俩没有太多的时间。
neither 意为：两者中任意一个“都不”。所以句中的相关动词或名词应该用单数形式。此句中用 has , 不能用 have。句中的 neither 是代词。例如：
Neither answer is right . 两个答案都不对。 ( 两者中，无论哪个答案都不对。 )
句中的 neither 是形容词，名词 answer 及动词 be 都用单数形式。
Neither of them knows her . 他们俩都不认识她。
6 . Both John and Ann have got penfriends . 约翰和安 ( 两人 ) 都有笔友。
( 1 ) both…and…“对方都；又……又……”，构成关联连词。例如：
She is both beautiful and kind . 她又漂亮又亲切。
She can both sing and dance . 她能歌善舞。
( 2 ) both 在句中还常作形容词和代词。例如：
Both brothers are in Japan . ( both 是形容词 )
Both of the brothers are in Japan . ( both 是代词 )
I saw them both yesterday .
They both went out .
neither…nor…与 either…or…的用法：
neither…nor… ( 连词 ) “既不……又不……”。例如：
It is neither hot nor cold .
Neither you nor he is right . =Neither he nor you are right .
either…or… ( 连词 ) “或……或……”。例如：
Either you or he is right . =Either he or you are right .
7 . …but I can\'t spend much time on it . ……但我不能在它上面花很多的时间。
( 1 ) spend time on something “在某事上花时间”。例如：
I spent two hours on my homework .
( 2 ) spend money on something “花钱买东西”。例如：
He spent about four hundred yuan on this bicycle .
( 3 ) spend time ( in ) doing something “花时间做某事”。例如：
The young man spent three years ( in ) writing that book .
8 . Though I like writing to my penfriend , it takes a lot of time . 虽然我喜欢给笔友写信，但花了很多时间。
( 1 ) though 连词，“虽然”，引出一个状语从句。汉语中常说“虽然……但是……”，但在英语中用了 though , 就不用 but ; 同样用了 but 就不用 though。上面的句子也可说成：I like writing to my penfriend , but it takes a lot of time .
( 2 ) though 引出的从句放在句首时，从句后要写逗号，也可将 though 引出的从句放在主句后。例如：
Though it rained heavily , the football match still went on .
He didn\'t do this work well though he did his best .
9 . We\'ve just returned from a short holiday at Ayers Rock . 我们刚从艾尔斯山短期度假归来。
( 1 ) return from a holiday “度假后回来”
( 2 ) Ayers Rock “艾尔斯山”，澳大利亚中部山脉。
10 . …so we flew most of the way . ……所以我们大部分旅途都乘飞机。
( 1 ) so 在此意为“因此，所以”，在句中作连词，因此不能说成 because…so… , 两个词只能分别使用一个。
( 2 ) flew 是 fly 的过去式。
11 . From Sydney we flew over a line of mountains in the southeast . 从悉尼起飞，我们越过澳大利亚东部的一系列山脉。
( 1 ) fly over “飞越”。over 意为“在……上面” ( 指空间 ) 。例如：
There is a light over Li Ming . 李明的上方有一盏灯。
( 2 ) a line of mountains 意为“群山”。
12 . But after we left the mountains behind us , there was hardly a cloud in the sky . 然而当我们把群山峻岭甩在后面时，天空几乎万里万云。
( 1 ) after we left the mountains behind us 在句中作状语，在语法上称作状语从句。
( 2 ) hardly 副词，意为“简直不，几乎不”，与之连用的句子属否定范畴。。例如：
We got hardly any news .
He could hardly say any words when he heard the bad news .
She can hardly speak French , can she ?
13 . Ayers Rock is a large , low mountain . 艾尔斯山是一座大而低矮的山。
low 形容词，“低的，矮的”。例如：
The temperature is very low . 温度很低。
You can hardly see any low houses in this new city .
14 . We started climbing up before it was light . 天亮之前，我们便开始登山。
( 1 ) climbing up 在此指“登山”。
( 2 ) it 指时间。
( 3 ) before it was light 意为“天亮之前”。
15 . Lower down , at the foot of the Ayers Rock , most of the ground is cove
red with forest and grass . 往低处走，在艾尔斯山脚下，大部分地面被森林和草地覆盖。
( 1 ) Lower down 及 at the foot of the Ayers Rock , 在句中作地点状语。
( 2 ) at the foot of…“在……的脚下”。例如：
Look , the cat is lying at the foot of the wall .
( 3 ) be covered with… “被……覆盖”。例如：
The road is covered with thick snow .
( 4 ) grass 是不可数名词。
16 . All around it is sand . 它 ( 艾尔斯山 ) 的周围都是沙漠。
这是个倒装句，正确的语序为：Sand is all around it .
17 . …and they say that there are ten sheep for every person . 据说每人占有10头羊。
句中的 they 并没有具体的对象，泛指人们 ( people ) 。
They say that… =It is said that…“据说”。
18 . I must stop writing now , as I have rather a lot of work to do . 现在我必须停笔了，因为我有相当多的事要做。
在此 as 为连词，“因为”，语气比 because 或 for 轻。例如：
As I am ill , I won\'t go .
Everybody likes him as he is kind .
19 . P . O . Box 7892 此为邮政信箱代号，P . O 为 Post Office 的缩写。
20 . You can see from my photograph that I have a big smile and long black hair . 从照片中，你可以看到我满脸笑容，长着长长的黑头发。
( 1 ) photograph 为书面语言，photo 多用于口语。
( 2 ) 句中 that 引导的宾语从句较长，所以将它放在状语 from my photograph 的后面。
21 . as , because , for 的异同
这三个词都可以作连词，表示原因或理由，其区别如下：
( 1 ) because 表示直接而明确的原因，它在这三个词中语意最强。它所连接的从句多是放在主句之后进行解释。在回答以“why”提问的问题时，也只能用 because . 如：
He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill .
I didn\'t go , because I was tired .
( 2 ) as 所表示的理由，或者是明显的被人所众知的理由，或者是推理的理由。语意不如 because 强。如：
As it rained , I stayed at home . 因为下雨，所以我待在家中。 ( 下雨是人所共知的，呆在家中的理由不如生病呆在家中的理由充分，没有那样强的必要性 )
As it is going to rain , let\'s stop working . 快下雨了，让我们歇手吧。 ( 表示推理的理由 )
( 3 ) for 所论述的理由和原因多是解释性的补充说明，或是显而易见的。它的语意最弱，它少用于口语。for 所引导的分句总是放在句末，不可用于句首。如：
I asked him to stay to tea , for I had something to tell him .
The days were short , for it was now December .
22 . long 和 for a long time 的用法析难
※ long ( 作为表达时间的副词 ) 常用在否定句和疑问句中，在肯定句中一般不用 ( 除非同 so , too , as…as… , enough 连用 ) 它。而用 ( for ) a long time . 如：
Have you been working here long ?
How long have you known him ?
※ 在否定句中，long 和 long time 的意思不一样。如：
He didn\'t speak for long . =He only spoke for a short time
He didn\'t speak for a long time . =It was a long time before he spoke .
23 . lift , put up , raise , rise 的析难
( 1 ) life ( 举起，抬起 ) ，指用体力或机械力将物体举起或拿起，强调物体的沉重，举起的时间和距离都较短。常可与 raise 换用，在口语中 like 比 raise 更常用。如：
Can you lift the stone ?
( 2 ) put up ( 举起，升起，挂起 ) ，后面通常跟“手，旗帜，窗帘”等名词。常用于口语。如：
If you have any questions , please put up your hands .
They are putting up some new pictures on the wall .
( 3 ) raise ( 举起，升高 ) ，该词强调把某人或某物举起或抬起到应有的高度。raise 还可用于借喻，如提高物价，提高生活水平等。如：
He raised the child from the ground .
Please raise your hands . 请举手。
She raised her eyes and looked at me .
( 4 ) rise ( 上升，上涨 ) 。是不及物动词，指事物本身从低处升 ( 涨 ) 到高处。
The river is rising after the rain . 雨后河水上涨。
The balloon slowly rose over the heads of the crowd . 气球在人群的上方慢慢上升。
24 . wish 与 hope 的用法异同
※ hope 一般表示预计有可能实现的事物。如希望做某事，希望得到某物或发生某事等。而 wish 除了可以表示可以实现的希望外，常用来表示难以实现或不可能实现的愿望，或者希望的与现状不一样。wish 还可用作祝愿。试比较：
I wish it were true . 但愿是事实。 ( 可惜不是事实 )
I hope it isn\'t true . 我希望这不是事实。 ( 可能不是事实 )
He hoped to get the first prize . 他希望获得一等奖。 ( 有可能实现的希望 )
She wished she were a bird . 她希望她是一只鸟。 ( 不可能实现的愿望 )
Wish you a happy new year .
※ 在否定句中，否定词通常放在 hope 或 wish 之后。如：
I hope she won\'t come . 我希望她不来。( 不能说 I don\'t hope she\'ll come )
※ wish 可接不定式或复合不定式。hope 可接不定式，但不接“宾语 + 不定式”的复合不定式。如：
She hoped to visit Beijing .
She wished to go there .
He wishes us to go swimming with him .
We hope him to get well soon . ( × )
We hope that he will get well soon . ( √ )
※ hope 和 wish 都能接宾语从句，但语气不一样。hope 所接的从句中，谓语动词用陈述语气。wish 所接的宾语从句中，谓语动词常用过去时 ( 或过去完成时等 ) 虚拟语气。
I hope it will be fine tomorrow .
I wish it was not raining .

【心中有数】
单元要点发散思维
1 . 过去将来时态
过去将来时态由“would + 动词原形”构成，还可由“was／were going to + 动词原形”构成。过去将来时表示从过去某一时间看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态。它常用在宾语从句中。
2 . 过去完成时态
过去完成时态由“had + 动词的过去分词”构成。过去完成时态表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成的动作，它表示动作发生的时间是“过去的过去”。这个过去时间常可用 by 或 before 短语表示，也可用 when , before 引导的时间状语从句表示。
3 . 现在完成时态
现在完成时态由“have／has + 动词的过去分词”构成，表示过去发生或已经完成的某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果；或表示过去已经开始，并持续到现在的动作或状态。
4 . 由 so…that ( 如此……以致 ) 引导的结果状语从句。so 后跟形容词或副词。

( 2 ) “疑问词 + 动词不定式”结构，在句中作主语、宾语、表语等成分。
