I. Overview 概要
This unit introduces and develops the theme of school life. In Welcome to the unit, students will be presented with four different aspects of school life in the UK and are asked to compare the differences between high schools in the UK and in China. The Reading text deals with an article from a school magazine which gives us specific information about what school life in the UK is really like. Word Power focuses on words and phrases related to school facilities, with relevant exercises to strengthen students' ability to use these phrases. In Grammar and usage, students will learn what an attributive clause is and what relative pronouns and relative adverbs function as in this clause. They will learn in what circumstances that, which, who, whom or whose are used. Following is the Task section dealing with reporting school activities, in which students will practise the language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. In the Project section, students will be asked to read two texts about school clubs and design an attractive poster for a new school club.

other
2. Read a magazine article about school life in the UK and two other articles about school club. 讀一篇有關(guān)在英國生活的雜志文章和兩篇有關(guān)學(xué)校俱樂部的文章。
在本句中，other的意思是 “其他的, 另外的”。它的基本用法如下：
+復(fù)數(shù)名詞
other(只作定語) +不可數(shù)名詞
限定詞+ other+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù) (注意：限定詞不可少)
常用的限定詞有：the, any, one, no, some ,every及my, his, her, your等

⑴. One took a taxi, and the other walked home.
一個人打車回家，另一個人則步行回家。

*1. The post office is on other side of the street. (應(yīng)為：the other)
*2. Where are the others photos? (應(yīng)為：…the other photos?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
點撥
other 后面跟單數(shù)名詞時，其前面必須有限定詞，因此，句1 中的other要改為the other。
(the )others不可作定語，the other才可作定語，因此，句2 中的要改為the other。

A. some; any B. other; some C. some; other D. others; other
⑶. I don’t like this wine; I like ______ wine.
A. some other B. some others C. other D. another
答案解析
⑴. C 因為but引導(dǎo)的并列句中的謂語動詞用的是復(fù)數(shù)形式，而選項A表達的是單數(shù)含義，B項other不能單獨做主語， D項是明顯錯誤；只有others可以單獨做主語，因此答案為C項。
⑵. C 本題意思為“Sara已經(jīng)讀過美國作家的許多故事，現(xiàn)在她想讀除美國以外的其它一些作家的故事。” others只能用做代詞，后面不能加名詞，故排除D項。any在肯定句中表“任一”的意思，應(yīng)跟單數(shù)名詞，故排除A項。B項不符合題意。所以本題選C。
⑶. A 本題意思為“我不喜歡這種酒，我喜歡其他一些酒。” others只能用做代詞，后面不能跟名詞，故排除B項。another后面應(yīng)跟單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，排除D項。other 后面跟單數(shù)名詞時，其前面必須有限定詞，故排除C項。
report
3．Report your school activities to your class teacher把你的學(xué)校活動向班主任報告。
在本句中，report的意思是 “(以口頭或書面形式) 報告或報道”。 Report的搭配一般為：

A. report on B. to report to C. to report on D. to report
答案解析
(1) D

every
4. Lockers for every student. 每人一個衣物柜。
every 是“每一，所有的。一切的”之意，可與可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)連用。它的基本用法如下：
+單數(shù)名詞
+物主代詞/名詞所有格
every
與not連用表部分否定
每隔
⑴. Every child loved their dogs.
⑵. Watch his every step and you will know how to do it.
⑶. Not every student can be hardworking.
= Every student can not be hardworking.
⑷. The Olympic Games are held every four years (=every fourth year).
⑸. The conference takes place every other/second year.
辨析
every與each
every是“每一個都”之意，即一方面考慮到個別的，一方面想到全體的，這一點與all接近；總是指三個或三個以上的事物，不可以指兩個。each是“每，每個”的意思，它只強調(diào)個別性，可以用來指兩個或兩個以上的事物。
典型錯誤
___________________________________________________________________________
*1.There are many televisions here. Every has its own number.
*2. I go to the supermarket every three day.
*3. Have you got every thing you need?
___________________________________________________________________________
點撥
不可單獨做主語，因此，句1中的Every應(yīng)改為：Each或Every one。
在表示“每隔”之意時，如果用基數(shù)詞，則名詞必須用復(fù)數(shù)；如果用序數(shù)詞，則名詞必須用單數(shù)。在句2中，three是基數(shù)詞，因此用days。
each
5．Fewer students in each class. 每個班級有較少的學(xué)生。
each的意思是“每，每個”。它是指把任何數(shù)量的對象分開來看時，其中的每一個，強調(diào)個體。可以在任何數(shù)量的情況下使用。基本用法如下：
與名詞搭配
each+單數(shù)名詞
each of +限定詞(the/物主代詞/these/those)+復(fù)數(shù)名詞
each of +人稱代詞賓格
⑴. Each member of the party must do their (=his or her) share.
黨內(nèi)每個成員都必須盡自己的一份力量。
⑵. Each of the companies supports a poor child.

⑶. Each of them shook hands with me.

⑷. On his arrival, he phoned each of us.
他一到就給我們每個人通了電話。
與動詞搭配
主語+each+復(fù)數(shù)謂語
主語+助動詞+each+…
be 動詞+ each
⑴. They each work hard at their lessons.
他們每個人學(xué)習(xí)都很用功。
⑵. These students have each made some progress.

⑶. They will each return to their own school teams.

each錦囊
1．跟動詞搭配時，應(yīng)遵守：“行為動詞do前，be 后，第一助動詞后”的原則。
2．跟名詞搭配時，應(yīng)遵守：“each+名詞，each of+限定詞+名詞”的原則。
典型錯誤
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 1. The students each has their own room. (應(yīng)為：have )
* 2. Each of children has passed the exam. (應(yīng)為：the/these children )
* 3. Each my children gave me gifts. (應(yīng)為：Each child 或Each of my children )
* 4. These boys each were certain of what they had said. (應(yīng)為：were each )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
點撥
在句1中，謂語（has）應(yīng)和主語（The students）一致；each不是主語，而是同位語。
在句2中，each of 不可以直接跟名詞，名詞前應(yīng)該加上限定詞才可以與each of搭配。在句3中，each不可以和“限定詞+名詞”搭配，它可以直接跟名詞。在句4中，each不可以放在be動詞(am ,.is , are , was , were)前面，只可以置于其后。

⑶. ---Which of the tree ways shall I take to the village?
---_______ way as you like.
A. Each B. Every C. Any D. Either
答案解析
⑴.A 該題是each與行為動詞搭配，應(yīng)遵守do前be后原則，故排除B和D；主語(we)謂語(have)一致，應(yīng)此選A。
⑵.D 該題是each 與名詞搭配，應(yīng)遵守“each+名詞，each of+限定詞+名詞”原則，故選D。
⑶.C either只能用于兩者情況，故排除D；從結(jié)構(gòu)上看，A,B,C皆可選，但從意思上考慮，each和every都表示“每個”，不合題意，故只能選C。
ease
6．At ease with our teacher. 輕松地與老師在一起。
ease的意思是：“不費力, 悠閑”。它常構(gòu)成短語：

*1. ---How is your mother? ---She is a very nice person.
*2. How is the educational system in your country?
*3. How was the weather like?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
點撥
在句1中，“How is your mother?”問的是健康狀況，因此，“She is a very nice person.”是答非所問。
句2的意思是：“貴國的教育制度怎樣？”這屬于事物的性質(zhì)或持久特征，應(yīng)用“What is…like?”來詢問。
句3是在詢問天氣，應(yīng)該說：“what was the weather like?”或“How was the weather?”

⑵.---What’s the man talking to your mother?
---_______.
A. He is a doctor. B. He is very well
C. He is tall and strong. D. He is always ready to help others.
答案解析
⑴. C 根據(jù)回答：“She is kind and patient, but strict in our lessons.”可知，問句應(yīng)該是詢問人的性格特征的。故答案應(yīng)是A項。
⑵. A 問句“What’s the man talking to your mother?”的意思是：“那邊和你媽媽談話的人是從事什么工作的？”，故答案應(yīng)是A項。
三個問題
⑴. Do you know of any other differences between the lives of Chinese and British high school students?
In the UK the architecture of school buildings is very different to that of our country. It’s rare to see tall buildings on UK school campuses while in China many high schools have structures that are like skyscrapers. In the UK there are lockers in the classroom for students’ belongings but in our classroom there are not. In the UK students are encouraged to participate in class discussion and teachers try to find ways to the keep the atmosphere lively. In most cases, teachers treat students as their equals. There are fewer students in each class. The students don’t have as many exams as the students in British. They have more free time to go to different activities. In China, however, it’s difficult for teachers to try to innovative teaching methods because of the large number of students. Even if teachers succeed, they still have to resist pressure from the present education system, which is test-oriented. High school students are pressurized into studying for lots of exams, depriving them of free time to nurture their interests in different areas. They have more homework to do, and they stay in their school for a much longer time every day. Their British counterparts are lucky, as they have more free time to develop their potential and socialize with their peers.
⑵. What kind of school activities do you enjoy?
Generally speaking, I don’t like to learn things in a parrot-fashion. If I were a teacher, I would assign students homework that needs critical thinking and imagination. For example, I would ask them to find the connection between different phenomena in history and society and write what they thought, or go to nature to find the secrets of nature, instead of giving a standard answer.
⑶. What’s your dream school life like?
My ideal school life would be something like this: teachers and students are friends; students are treated as individuals instead of mass-product; students must think critically and are motivated to succeed by their teachers; the curriculum is flexible and can be adapted to suit the strengths and special knowledge of the teacher; the school offer a variety of subjects instead of just entrance-examination-oriented the subjects.

同步測試非常講解
I. 單詞拼寫
1. difference 2. generation 3. experiencing 4. Germans 5. available
II．單句改錯
１. report后加to (report to sb. sth / report sth to sb. 意思為“向某人報告某事”)
２. among改為 between （“說出A和B之間的區(qū)別”應(yīng)為“tell the difference / differences between A and B”）
３. differences改為 difference ；for改為 to （此句中的difference意思為“關(guān)系，影響”，可用作單數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞，不用復(fù)數(shù)；made all the difference to sb. /sth 意思為“對…有作用，有影響”。）
４. 去掉that （此句中know的賓語為where引導(dǎo)的賓語從句）
５. 去掉with （此句中ease your mind的ease為及物動詞，意思為“緩解，使…輕松”）
６. Have改為 has (“Each and every one of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞”應(yīng)用單數(shù)謂語)
７. 去掉a (every few meters意思為 “每幾米”)
８. life改為 lives (此處life指具體的人或動植物的“生命，性命”,為可數(shù)名詞)
９. saying 改為 to say (would like后可加名詞做賓語,若接動詞,應(yīng)用動詞不定式)
１０. spending改為 to spend (此處to spend your weekend為目的狀語)
III．完型填空
1. D 由I was waiting for my drink知為 “在我等我的飲料的時間里”, while為最佳。
2. B 雖然酒吧里有其他人，但我仍然感覺到孤獨。
3. A 我仍然感覺到孤獨是因為我雖然能看到他們的身體，但不能感覺他們的靈魂。因為他們的靈魂屬于電腦網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
4. C net指“網(wǎng)絡(luò)”，home 指“家”，Café指“酒吧，此文中為網(wǎng)吧”，world指“世界”，根據(jù)文章意思，C為最佳答案。
5. C 根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)為“一個人坐在電腦前”
6. A 根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)為“坐在電腦前的這個人正忙于網(wǎng)絡(luò)聊天”
7. C 根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)為“坐在電腦前的這個人正忙于網(wǎng)絡(luò)聊天并同時在打網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲，因此特別的忙。”
8. A surprised 驚訝的 frightened 受驚的，害怕的 moved 感動的 delighted高興的，根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)為作者看到這情況覺得很驚訝。
9. B 作者看到這情況覺得很驚訝，疑惑為什么Steve不愿跟我說話，于是再試（again）。
10. A 但是Steve仍不回答。
11. D 這時作者感到悲哀；“frightening”使人害怕的，與題意不符。
12. C Shut up 閉嘴；Help me out 幫幫我；Leave me alone 別管我；Enjoy yourself玩得開心；根據(jù)上下文，此處應(yīng)為Steve不愿跟作者說話，叫他“別管我”。
13. D 作者這時抬起頭看其他人是否在看我。
14. B 沒人注意我，此時我明白了網(wǎng)吧的每個人都在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上聊著天。
15. A 他們對我這個實實在在的人不感興趣，卻對與電腦聊天更感興趣。
16. A 他們對我這個實實在在的人不感興趣，卻對與電腦聊天更感興趣。
17. C 作者評論說他不能想象如果人們不愿與人交流，寧愿與機器交流，將來會是什么情形。
18. B 根據(jù)上下文可知。
19. D 作者由于擔(dān)心而陷入沉思，沒有意識到咖啡已壞，就象網(wǎng)吧的人都沒意識到我的存在一樣。
20. B as if 似乎，仿佛；just as 正如；even though即使；just after 就在…之后
