Eg.His mother wasn’t at home, so he was able to watch TV

2) may and might

May we see the awards for teams?(permission,request)

對現在的事情進行把握較大的判斷時，肯定判斷用must+動詞原形，否定判斷用can’t+動詞原形。

She must be in the library.

She can’t be in the room.

2.modal verbs+ have done

一、情態動詞+動詞完成式

情態動詞+動詞完成式即“情態動詞+ have + done分詞”，表示對過去行為或動作進行推測、評論或判斷。

1. must have done表示對過去某事的肯定猜測。其否定或疑問形式都用can(could) 來表示.

Since the road is wet, it must have rained last night.

He can’t have missed the way. I drew him a map.

“The dictionary has disappeared. Who could have taken it?”

當然對現在發生或將來發生的事情,要用must do 表示猜測, 否定為can’t do.

He must understand that we mean business.

You must be hungry after a long walk.

2.may / might have done

may / might have done 表示推測過去某事“也許”發生了.may 比 might 表示的可能性在說話人看來稍大些。例如：

I can’t find my keys. I may / might have left them at the school yesterday.

3. could have done 在肯定句型中, 往往用作委婉的批評. 本應該做什么,而沒做; 有時也用作猜測.

You could have told us earlier.

Tom could have taken the dictionary.

4. ought to / should have done和 ought not to / shouldn’t have done

ought to / should have done 和 ought not to / shouldn’t have done 用于對已發生的情況表示“責備”、“不滿”，分別表示“本應該…”和“本不應該…”。例如：

1）With all the work finished, I should have gone to the party last night.

2）You ought not to have made fun of him. He is not the one you laugh at but learn from.

5. needn’t have done

needn’t have done 表示過去做了某事，但沒有做的必要， 意為“本沒必要…”。

You needn’t have waken me up; I don’t have to go to work today.

注：表示推測過去某動作發生的可能性時，就表示的可能性程度而言，must最大，could其次，may更次之，might最小。例如：

“I wonder how Tom knew about your past.”

“He must / could / may / might have heard of it from Mary.”

二、情態動詞+動詞進行式

情態動詞+行為動詞進行式（即情態動詞+ be + doing形式），表示推測或評論某動作現在是否正在進行。例如：

1）He must be playing basketball in the room.

2）She may be staying at home.

三、情態動詞+動詞完成進行式

情態動詞+行為動詞完成進行式（即情態動詞+ have been + v-ing 形式），表示推測或評論過去某動作是否正在進行或一直在進行。例如：

1）They should have been meeting to discuss the problem.

2）He may / might have been buying stamps in the post office when you saw him.

四、某些情態動詞的特殊用法

1. need

考試中主要測試 need 作情態動詞與作實義動詞的區別.

情態動詞need與實義動詞need 在時態、肯定、否定結構上的對比見下表。

時態 情態動詞need 實義動詞 need

現在時 He need (needn’t) do

Need he do….? He needs (doesn’t need) to do

過去時 He needed (didn’t need) to do

將來時 He need (needn’t) do

Need he do….? He will (not) need to do

注: need 一般用于否定句或疑問句.

2. dare

考試中主要測試dare作情態動詞和作實義動詞的區別。

情態動詞dare 與實義動詞dare 在時態、肯定、否定、疑問結構上的對比見下表。

句型 情態動詞dare 實義動詞 dare

肯定句 現在時 dare to 少用

過去時 dare to 少用 現在時 dare/dares to do

否定句 現在時 daren’t/dare not do

過去時 dared not do 現在時 do/does not dare (to) do

過去時 did not dare (to) do

疑問句 現在時 Dare he do?

過去時 Did he dare (to) do

3. can 和 may

考試中主要測試can，may或could，might表示可能性的區別及對may構成的疑問句的回答。

（1）can, could, may, might都可以表示可能性.can, could表示潛在的可能性或理論上或邏輯判斷上存在的可能性；而may, might則表示事實上的可能性。此外，can還具有“有能力”的意思，而may與might則不具此意。例如：

According to the weather forecast, it may rain tomorrow.

Any man with a little sense can see that he is wrong.

（2）May I / we …？這一類疑問句的肯定回答為Yes, please.或Certainly；否定回答為Please don’t.或No, you mustn’t. 例如：

“May we leave now?” “No, you mustn’t. You haven’t finished your home work yet.”

4. can 和 be able to

can 與 be able to 都可以表示能力，但兩者在用法上有點差異：can (could)表示主觀能力，不表示意愿，它的將來時用will be able to; be able to表示主觀意愿，強調要克服困難去做某事。例如：

1）My grandma is over seventy, but she can still read without glasses.

2）He is able to give up his bad habits.

5. must 和 have to

must 和 have to 都可以表示“必須”，但有幾點區別：

（1）must 強調“內在的職責”、“義務”，而have to 強調“外界壓力”、“不得已而為之”。

（2）have to可用于多種時態，而must一般用于現在時，其過去時與將來時分別由had to與shall / will have to代替。

（3）在回答must引起的問題時，如果是否定的答復，不能用mustn’t，而要用needn’t或don’t have to，因為mustn’t是“一定不要”、“一定不能”的意思。例如：

1）You must come to the classroom before eight.

2）It is raining hard outside, but I have to leave now.

3）“Must we do it now?” “No, you needn’t.”

6. used to +do, be used to +doing和be used to +do

（1）used to +v意為“過去常常”，“過去一直”；be used to +v-ing / n（名詞）意為“習慣于”；be used to +v意為“被用來（做某事）”。

（2）used to只表示過去，而be used to +v-ing / n可表示現在、過去或將來。例如：

1）He used to smoke. Now he doesn’t.

2）He’s quite used to hard work / working hard.

3）The knife is used to cut bread.

7．用作情態動詞的其他短語

would rather, would sooner, would (just) as soon, had rather, had better, had sooner, can not but, may (just) as well等可用作情態動詞。例如：

1）The soldier would sooner die than surrender.

2）The brave soldier would as soon die as yield to such an enemy.

3）I’d rather walk than take a bus.

4）If you don’t like to swim, you may just as well stay at home.

注：這些短語后一般直接跟動詞原形.would (had) rather, would (had) sooner, would (just) as soon后可跟that 引導的從句，that 常省去，從句要用虛擬語氣。對現在和將來的假設用過去時，對過去的假設用過去完成時。例如：

1）I would rather you came on Sunday.

2）I would sooner you hadn’t asked

Period 7 Listening and exercise

Step 1 Listening about carvals

1.Introduction of carnivals:

狂歡節（Carnival），世界上不少國家都有狂歡節。這個節日起源于歐洲的中世紀。古希臘和古羅馬的木神節、酒神節都可以說是其前身。有些地區還把它稱之為謝肉節和懺悔節。該節日曾與復活節有密切關系。復活節前有一個為期40天的大齋期，即四旬齋（lent）。齋期里，人們禁止娛樂，禁食肉食，反省、懺悔以紀念復活節前3天遭難的耶穌，生活肅穆沉悶，于是在齋期開始的前3天里，人們會專門舉行宴會、舞會、游行，縱情歡樂，故有"狂歡節"之說。如今已沒有多少人堅守大齋期之類的清規戒律，但傳統的狂歡活動卻保留了下來，成為人們抒民對幸福和自由向往的重要節日。

歐洲和南美洲地區的人們都慶祝狂歡節。但各地慶祝節日的日期并不相同，一般來說大部分國家都在2月中下旬舉行慶�；顒�。各國的狂歡節都頗具特色，但總的來說，都是以毫無節制的縱酒飲樂著稱。其中最負盛名的要數巴西的狂歡節。

Most English holidays have a religious origin. Easter Day occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox[1].It is originally the day to commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But now for most people, Easter is a secular spring holiday, while for the children, it means, more than anything else, Easter eggs or chocolate eggs! On Easter Sunday morning, the breakfast eggs are boiled in several pans in some families.Each containing a different vegetable dye, so that when they are served the shells are no longer white or pale brown in color, but yellow or pink, blue or green. The dyes do not penetrate[2] the shell of course. Easter eggs are meant to give enjoyment-- and they do! They are pretty and decorative, they signal good wishes and shared happiness in the changing seasons.

Unit 4 Astronomy：the science of the stars

Period 1 Grammar points.

一．語法要點

主語從句：在復合句中作主句的主語的從句叫主語從句。引導主語從句的詞有連詞that, whether；連接代詞who, what, which；連接副詞when, where, how, why等。

Eg: Which team will win the match is still unknown.

主語從句放在句首，句子常顯得笨重，因此一般把它放到句子后面，前面用引導詞”it”來作主語。

Eg: It’s strange that he didn’t come yesterday.

二．重點難點

1．Nobody knew that it was going to be different from other planets going to be different from other planets going round the sun.

going round the sun 為現在分詞短語定語，表示一般的動作。

Eg: Men breaking the law will be punished.

現在分詞短語，也可表示進行的動作

2. Weather life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.

for millions of years to come 中不定式to come 作定語，與前面的名詞有邏輯上的主謂關系。

Eg: She is the last person to tell lies.

3．The problem was that the earth became violent because it was not clear whether the solid shape was to last or not.

The problem was that …, that 引導表語從句，that 只起連接作用，無意義，但不能省略。

Eg: The trouble is that we are short of money.

4．As the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.

as conj. 隨著，在…期間；由于，因為；盡管，即使；當…的時候；像…一樣

5. That made it possible for life to begin to develop.

it 是形式主語，真正的主語是不定式to begin to develop.

Eg: He thinks it’s his duty to help others.

三．功能句型

指示（Introductions）

Please look at/ listen to … Please pay attention to ...

Please check that … Make sure you …

Don’t forget to … Watch out for …

You need … You’d better …

You must/mustn’t …

4. The fact that ships can go there surprises many people.

（同位語從句）

Period 4 Grammar pionts

同位語從句講義及練習

一、理解同位語從句的含義，把握同位語從句的實質

　　在主從復合句中作同位語的從句稱為同位語從句。同位語從句一般用that,whether，what, which, who,when, where, why, how 等詞引導，常放在fact,news,idea,truth,hope,problem,information,wish, promise, answer, evidence, report, explanation, suggestion, conclusion,等抽象名詞后面，說明該名詞的具體內容。換言之，同位語從句和所修飾的名詞在內容上為同一關系，對其內容作進一步說明。

　　例：The news that they had won the game soon spread over the whole school.他們比賽獲勝的消息很快傳遍了整個學校。

　　析：they had won the game說明The news的全部內容，因此該句為同位語從句。

　　二、正確運用同位語從句的引導詞，準確把握同位語從句

　　1.如同位語從句意義完整，應用that引導同位語從句。（即that 不充當任何成分，只起連接作用）

　　例：The general gave the order that the soldiers should cross the river at once.將軍下達了戰士們立即過河的命令。

　　析：the soldiers should cross the river at once是the order的全部內容，且意義完整，因此應用that引導同位語從句。

　　2.如同位語從句意義不完整，需增加"是否"的含義，應用whether引導同位語從句。（if不能引導同位語從句）

　　例：We'll discuss the problem whether the sports meeting will be held on time.我們將討論運動會是否會如期舉行的問題。

　　析：the sports meeting will be held on time意義不完整，應加"是否"的含義才能表達the problem的全部內容，因此應用whether引導同位語從句。

　　3.如同位語從句意義不完整，需增加"什么時候"、"什么地點"、"什么方式"等含義，應用when,where,how等詞引導同位語從句。

　　例1：I have no idea when he will be back.

　　析：he will be back意義不完整，應加"什么時候"的含義才能表達idea的全部內容，因此應用when引導同位語從句。

　　例2：I have no impression how he went home,perhaps by bike.

析：he went home意義不完整，應加"如何"的含義才能表達impression的全部內容，因此應用how引導同位語從句。

4.當主句的謂語較短，而同位語從句較長時，同位語從句常后肢。

如：The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city. 他突然想到敵人可能已經逃出城了。

　　三、把握同位語從句和定語從句的區別，明確同位語從句和相似從句的界限

同位語從句和定語從句相似，都放在某一名詞或代詞后面，但同位語從句不同于定語從句。同位語從句對名詞加以補充說明，是名詞全部內容的體現，且名詞和同位語從句的引導詞均不在從句中作成分；定語從句說明先行詞的性質與特征，與先行詞是修飾與被修飾的關系，且名詞和定語從句的引導詞均在從句中作成分。

區分時可以在先行詞與與從句之間加一個系動詞be,使之構成一個新句子，如果句子通順且符合邏輯，則為同位語從句，反之，則為定語從句。

如：The report that he was going to resign was false.

他將辭職的傳聞是假的。

因為the report was that he was going to resign 句意通順，所以，that he was going to resign 是同位語從句。

　　例1：Information has been put forward ____ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.(NMET2001上海)

　　A.while B.that C.when D.as

　　析：答案為B。more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities是Information的內容，且Information不在從句中作成分，所以該句為同位語從句。應將該句區別于：

　　It is said that more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities，this is the information ____ has been put forward.

　　A.what B.that C.when D.as

　　析：答案為B。that has been put forward為information的修飾性定語，且information在從句中作主語，所以該句為定語從句。

　　例2：She heard a terrible noise,____ brought her heart into her mouth.(MET91)

　　A.it B.which C.this D.that

　　析：答案為B。分析語境含義、句子結構和句子成分可知，該句為非限制性定語從句，先行詞為a terrible noise，且它在從句中作主語。應將該句區別于：

　　I can't stand the terrible noise ____ she is crying loudly.

　　A.it B.which C.this D.that

　　析：答案為D。she is crying loudly是the terrible noise的內容，且the terrible noise不在從句中作成分，所以該句為同位語從句。

3. The girl told him they were on a train trip across the Canada and that they had only one day in Montreal.
