重點難點講解
辨析be tired of , be tired with
短語be tired of 意思為“厭倦或厭煩……”
I’m tired of his complaints.我對他的抱怨很反感。
He was tired of sleeping with the windows open.他討厭開著窗戶睡覺。
be tired with表示“因……而感到疲倦或勞累”
He was tired with such a long walk,走了這麼長的路他感到很累。
We were quite tired with so much homework.做了如此多的作業後我們相當疲勞。
辨析lovely/ beautiful/pretty//handsome/good-looking
lovely吸引人的視、聽、嗅、觸四覺的，引起喜悅、讚賞的人或物，都可用lovely修飾，尤其指外貌，不包括四德。主要用於修飾女子外貌、天氣、景色等。如：
lovely hair/weather（秀髮/好天氣）。
beautiful 對人而言，指最能給人帶來滿足的最高尚的和精神的美，包括精緻、溫柔、愉快、可愛諸因素。形容人時，適合女性。
A beautiful girl /face /flower /picture /garden /place /voice /color/dress/weather等。
pretty意為“美麗的，漂亮的，可愛的”，指逗人喜歡的人或物的精緻、優雅、小巧、嬌嫩、雅緻等屬性，有“女子氣”及“小巧俏皮”的含義，常修飾女性，不用於男性。
handsome意為“漂亮，英俊”，含勻稱、對稱、雅緻、悅目、吸引人之意，尤指儀表堂堂，舉止文雅，具有男性氣質。其美大半是修養和訓練的結果，常用以修飾男性。
“good-looking” 特指外表容貌的美，多用於指男性。
辨析used to, be used to doing 與be used to do
used to後接動詞原形，表示“過去常常（做某事）”，而現在不再做；
He used to be a worker, but now he becomes the manager of the company.
be used to doing / sth. 表示“習慣於做某事”。
She has been used to living alone in the country.
be used to do為use（使用）的被動語態形式，表示“被用來做”；
The hammer is used to break nail into the wall.
辨析reply 和answer
這是一對近義詞，都有“回答”之意，但其用各有不同。
1）用作動詞，後面都可接that從句，兩者可以相通。如：
He answered/replied that he knew nothing about it.
他回答說對此事一無所知。
2）如果加間接賓語時，要用：
answer sb. that. . . /reply to sb that. . .
3）當後面接名詞或代詞時，answer是及物動詞, reply為不及物動詞，是正式用語。如：
answer a question/reply to a question
answer a letter / reply to a letter
answer the door / doorbell / telephone
(不能說reply the door / doorbell / telephone)
4）作名詞時，兩者都可與介詞搭配；answer還有“答案”之意。如：
the answer / rely / key to the problem. make no answer / reply
課文講解
1．Well, I’ve recently started biology.我最近剛開始學生物。
Recently意為“近來，最近”多與現在時態連用。
He is not at home recently.他最近不在家。
How are you getting along recently?你近來過得還好吧？
2．You don’t need anything special.你不需要什麼特別的東西。
用形容詞修飾不定代詞something, nothing, anything, somebody, anybody等時，這個形容詞通常放在這類不定代詞的後面。
Did you find anybody strange nearby? 你在附近看到過什麼陌生人嗎？
Do you have anything more to say? 你（們）還有什麼話要說嗎？
3．Then grow some tomatoes in one box,….然後在盒子裡種上一些西紅柿
Then see which plants grow higher.
第一句中的grow是及物動詞，作“種植（花或莊稼）”解；第二句中的grow 是不及物動詞，作“生長，成長”
The young trees are growing well.這些小樹長得很好。（vi.）
We grew a lot of flowers this spring.今年春天我們種了許多花。（vt.）
此外，grow還可以作連繫動詞，作“逐漸變得”，後面跟表語。
She is growing healthy.她的身體逐漸變好了。
4．However, I find it hard. 然而我發現交朋友很難。
句中的it 指上句的making new friends（交新朋友）。全句相當於I find it hard to make new friends.由於it作形式賓語的用法還沒有出現過，此處暫不宜向學生解釋。
Find作“發現，覺得”，後面可以跟帶形容詞的複合賓語（賓語+賓補）
I found him very funny.我現他很滑稽可笑。
你覺得這個問題難嗎？
5．This is secret, so please don’t tell anybody else.這是一個祕密，因此，請別告訴其它任何人。
句中anybody else=any other person(其它任何人) else是形容詞，作“別的，其它的”，常用somebody, something, anybody, anything, nobody, nothing等不定代詞連用，並置於不定代詞之後。如：
Do you want to see anybody else? 你還想見見別的人嗎？
I have bought lots of bread. I’d like to buy something else.我買了許多面包，我還想買點別的東西。
else還可以同what, who, when, where等疑問代詞或疑問副詞連用。
What else would you like to have? 你還想要點別的什麼嗎？
過去將來時
1) 過去將來時的基本形式：
基本形式 例子
would+動詞原形 I thought I would make lots of new friends.
我曾經認為我會交上許多新朋友。
was/were + going to I didn’t expect that I were to do the work by myself next week.我不希望下週自己做這個工作。
注意：would+動詞原形。would可用於任何人稱，這是美國英語的用法。在英國英語中，第一人稱用 should，第二、三人稱用 would。本教材採用美國英語的用法。此外，過去將來時還可以用“was/were + going to”來表示“原本打算幹某事”的意思。另：be to do 不能用於人類不能控制的將發生的事情和動作；be about to do 不能和具體的時間連用。
2) 過去將來時的基本概念：
基本概念 例子
過去將來時表示對於過去某一時間而言將要發生的動作或存在的狀態。它是一種相應的時態，總是同某一過去的時間或過去的動作相對應而存在。 The teacher told us he would give us a little test. 老師跟我們講過，他將給我們來一次小測驗。
He said he was going to start for Guangzhou next Monday. 他(曾經)說過他打算下星期身去廣州。
3）“would+動詞原形”還可表示過去的習慣動作，在這一點上同used to同義。 例如：
When we were children, we would/used to go swimming every summer. 我們小的時候， 每年夏天都去游泳。
4）一般過去時，（限某些動詞，表示按計劃或時刻要發生的事），也可表示過去將來時。
He wanted to be a scientist when he grew up.他長大了想當科學家。
5）過去將來時也可用來表示“願望”或“傾向”，用於否定句，可譯為“不會”，“不可能”等等。
We knew he would never permit such a thing.我們知道他絕不會允許發生此類事。

I asked her why, she didn't reply to my question, and she just said sometimes he laughed at her. She also worried about her changing because she had to ask for the permission of the head teacher
典型例題
例1-Come in, Peter. I want to show you something.
-Oh, how nice of you! I ______ you ______ to bring me a gift.
A. never think; are going B. never thought; were going
C. didn't think; were going D. hadn’t I thought; were going
解析：由於收到禮物純屬意料之外，在過去沒有想到，而現在應該知道了，所以第一空要用一般過去時，never thought表示純屬意料之外。而didn’t think 表示想到“你不會”。根據賓語從句與主句的謂語動詞之間的對應關係後一空要用過去將來時。本題正確答案為B。
例2-Alice, why didn’t you come yesterday?
-I _______, but I had an unexpected visitor.
A. had B. would C. was going to D. did
解析：這是一道對話題，首先根據問句得知Alice昨天（即過去）沒有來。而答句為省略句，若填A則為had come（昨天以前來過，但昨天沒來），與but解釋的原因不符。而D項為came（昨天來了）與問句子didn’t come不符。故要用過去將來時。would come與was going to come雖均可以表示過去將來時，但was going to還可以表示過去打算幹什麼。
例3 I ______ walk to school, but now I go by bike.
A. used to B. is used to C. use to D. was used to
解析：根據句中but now（但是現在）以及walk to school 與 go by bike的對比關係可以看出，“現在”“騎車上學”而“過去”“走路上學”而得知，前句表示過去習慣，而現在不做了。這一用法符合used to。而B項則表示“被用來做某事”。C項中used to只有過去時而沒有現在時，故為錯誤選項。本題答案為A。
例4 Readers can _______ quite well without knowing the exact meaning of each word.
A. get over B. get in C. get along D. get through
解析：get over克服困難；get in進入，到達，插話，get along進展，相處；get through完成。本句話的意思是“儘管讀者不知道每個單詞的精確意思，但他們能很好地理解本書的意思”。所以get along符合此意。本題答案為C。
例5 The clouds are gathering, which suggests that it _______ rain, so Mother suggests we _____ out.
A. is going to; went B. should; not to go
C. is going to; not go D. should; not going
解析：suggest後可接名詞、動詞-ing或that引導的賓語從句，如suggest為“建議”之意，則其後的賓語從句須用should+動詞原形，should可以省略，故C、D項為可選答案。但第一個suggest的主語為which（指代烏雲密佈一事）故無法作出“建議”而不能用should後接動詞原形；又因第二空前為we所以suggest後接賓語從句that被省略。本題答案為C。
例6. There are a lot of ______ in Beijing.
A e of interest B e of interests
C. places of interest D. places of interests
解析：表示place of interest的複數形式時，不能在interest後加s, interest在此為抽象名詞；只能在place後加s。正確答案是C。
例7. He used to _______ in the river when he was a boy.
A ming B. swim C D. swims
解析：used to表示過去習慣性的動作，意為“過去常常”，後接動詞原形。be used to後才能接動詞-ing形式或名詞。正確答案是B。
例8. People ______ think that the earth was flat.
A. would B. will C. used to D. usually
解析：would 和used to都可用來表示過去反覆反生的動作。但表示過去存在的狀態時，常用used to而不用would。正確答案是C。
例9. It's hard ______ you to make him ______ change his mind.
A. of, to B. for, to C. for, / D. of, /
解析：make 作“使、叫、讓”解時，用不定式作賓語補足語，且to必須省略，即make sb. do sth.另外，根據句意，you應該是不定式to make的邏輯主語，故適應於句型It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth. 如果句中的表語形容詞是說明邏輯主語的則用句型It is + adj. + of sb. + to do sth. 正確答案是C。
例10. Most of the visitors who _______ to the party were young people.
A. were invited B. asked C. are invited D. ask
解析：表示邀請某人（參加活動）“用invite sb. to (dinner / a party / a meeting)”，其被動語態用be invited to some place. 如果當面邀請，則用Will you come to…?。正確答案是A。
擴充套件資料
British Public Schools
All over the world, the mention of English education suggests a picture of the public schools, and it suggests in particular the names tike Eton. Actually Eton is a public school. And the best known of the public schools are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton. However, it is still true that if an English parent has enough money to pay the fees to send his children to an independent school he will most probably do so.
The private secondary schools, or public schools, are generally controlled by the governing bodies, who are appointed as trustees to keep alive the foundations originally begun by charitable institutions or by rich people. They do not make any financial profits, but only to balance their budgets.
It is difficult to make a precise definition of the term “public schools”. But it is safe to say that there are altogether about a hundred schools which would universally be regarded as “public schools”. Within the group there are about thirty which can be regarded as “leading public schools”. Most public schools, particularly the most eminent ones, are called by the name of the town or village in which they are situated. The four most famous of all are Eton College, Harrow School, Winchester College and Rugby School.
To send a boy to a leading public school costs about ￡ 900 to ￡1,000 a term, though some of the less famous schools may cost as little as ￡ 600. When a boy has been provisionally accepted, he must, when the time comes, present himself as a candidate for the Common Examination for Entrance to Public Schools. Some public schools accept only boys who have done very well in this examination, but some others deliberately prefer to have a mixture of clever and not-so-clever boys.
Every public school has many rules and customs peculiar to itself - uniforms, special clothes, ties, hats, rituals and traditions. But the essential characteristics are more or less the same in them. A typical public school has about 500 boys. There may be some buildings which are three or four hundred years old. There are probably modern and well-equipped scientific laboratories.
Though teaching is arranged centrally for the school as a whole, the boys live in separate “houses”. Usually a boy enters a house, and remains in the same house for the whole of his time as a pupil. A typical house has about fifty boys, and they are all under the special care of the housemaster and his wife. The house itself is a world in miniature. “Fagging” is a well known public school institution. Not long ago the youngest boys had to perform personal services for the oldest ones, doing such jobs as cleaning their shoes and running errands for them. Now it is much diminished.
Much attention is paid to sports. And boys are often obliged to play football or cricket, or to row on a nearby river or to go out running or to play some other games, on most days of every week. But now there is also much encouragement for other forms of non-academic activities. Boys form their own societies for the pursuit of many and varied interests and they learn a great deal from each other.
Religion plays an important part in the life of most public schools. In nearly every one there is a chapel which dominates the school buildings and is big enough to hold all the boys and masters. Until fifty years ago, most headmasters were clergymen; this is now no longer so. But the headmasters are still generally expected to be specially interested in the religion in the school, and occasionally to preach sermons in the chapel on Sundays.
There may be one master for every ten boys, and the classes are small and flexible. As the boy grows older and reaches the Sixth Form he will be given great scope and encouragement to develop intellectually in his own way. Public schools do not claim to be more efficient at giving instructions than the grammar schools, but they do say that they try to create conditions in which the mind can develop in broadth as welt as depth, and not only the mind but the whole personality as well.
Lessons can be planned so as to leave much time for sports and other outside activities. More important, the atmosphere of the house and school breeds a combination of loyalty and competitiveness. To the individual boy, his progress through his house is like his future progress through life in the world outside. First he learns to take a humble part, respectful towards his superiors; and in the end, as a prefect, he learns responsibilities and the art of leadership.
Through leaving home at an early age, the boys learn to suppress their emotions - and sometimes it may seem that they learn to have no emotions at all. Certainly one quality they learn is an ability not to take themselves too seriously. The boys from public schools seem on the whole more sophisticated, mature and self-assured than others.
Why are the public schools so successful, both in having so many applicants for their limited places, and in seeing so many of their former pupils becoming the leading figures in the nation's life? The answer is: To be successful in life, you must fit readily with those who are already at the top. The public schools help you to be that kind of persons. Also, the best of them are very successful academically. This is why so many fathers want so much to send their sons to the famous schools.
British Universities: Cambridge and Oxford
There are more than forty universities in Britain. They are all private institutions. Each has its own governing councils, including some local businessmen and local politicians as well as a few academics. Students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place where he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay for his full costs, including lodging and food.
Each university has its own syllabuses, and there are some quite important differences between one and another. In general the Bachelor's degree is given to the students who pass examinations at the end of three or four years of study. Bachelors' degrees are at two levels, Honours and Pass. In some cases the Honours degree is given for intensive study and examination in one, two or three related subjects white the Pass degree may be somewhat broader.
The first post-graduate degree is normally that of Master, conferred for a thesis based on at least one year's full-time work; the time actually taken is usually more than the year. Oxford and Cambridge are peculiar in that they give the Master of Arts degree automatically to any Bachelor who pays the necessary fees at any time after the seventh year from his admission to the university.
Oxford and Cambridge resemble each other quite closely. They have a special preeminence, but they two no longer belong to the upper and upper-middle classes as the public schools do. They are both based on colleges. These colleges are parallel and equal institutions, and none of them is connected with any particular field of study. In order to become a member of the university, a student must first be accepted as a member of a college.
Each college is governed by its Fellows. And most of them were founded before 1600, and the oldest three before 1300. The biggest and most magnificent is Christ Church. Its members, with wonderful arrogance, habitually call it "The House". It has educated many cabinet ministers. Colleges choose their new students mainly on academic merit, but some also admit a few men who are good at sports, or the sons of eminent citizens or of millionaires.
It is easy to see the advantages of an education at Oxford. The surroundings of the ancient buildings are infinitely pleasing. The teaching varies between good and bad, but the whole effect is highly stimulating. The libraries and bookshops are probably unequalled anywhere.
Most of a man's contacts are with the people in his own college, though the average student has many friends in other colleges too. But an Oxford college is a community, and its students feel very conscious of belonging to it. The intercollege rowing races in the summer provide Oxford with a great and colorful social occasion.
Each Fellow in a college is a tutor in his own subject to the undergraduates who are studying it. Each student goes to his tutor's room for an hour every week to sit in an armchair and read out an essay which he and the tutor then discuss. The system of teaching here encouraged independent thoughts and judgements.
Oxford is more tolerant than Cambridge; and except Churchill, every Prime Minister from 1945 to 1974 was an Oxford graduate. But Cambridge is more developed than Oxford in scientific studies. The rivalry between the two universities at sports is a part of the national life.
England had no other universities, apart from Oxford and Cambridge, until the nineteenth century. During the 19th century, institutions of higher education were founded in most of the biggest industrial towns. For a long time they could not give degrees themselves. But one by one, they grew bigger and became independent universities. Since the 1960s, new forms of higher education were established, among which the Open University is the most interesting innovation. It gives courses through one of the BBC’s television channels and by radio, and it developed prosperously all over the country.
探究活動
編寫對話
1．假定你是Amy, 接到兩封信。用自己的語言描寫這兩封信，或編寫一個與自己母親的小對話。
Model:
Suppose you are Amy and you've just got two letters. Describe the letters in your own words:
I've got two letters this morning. The first letter is from Ken. He told me that he did not like new school, because all the other students had been in the same school before and they got along with each other very well. Though Ken tried to be friendly, they still did not like him and even made fun of him sometimes. So Ken asked me for some advice.
The second letter is from Yang Mei. In her letter she told me something about her cousin.
