alarm n. 闹钟

常用的句型：begin to do与begin doing
一般来说，begin to do和begin doing可以互换，但在以下三种情况下
用to do。
主语不是指人，而是it等。
如：It began to rain.
begin后接表示心理活动的词。如：begin to know, 还有believe, wonder,
think等词。
begin本身是ing形式，为避免重复后接to do。 即：beginning to do
2) heavily adv. 在很大程度上；大量地

It was raining heavily. 雨下得很大。
3. So, when the rainstorm suddenly came,…

Step 5 Language points
1. With no light outside, it felt like midnight.
此句中介词with表示一种伴随状况，同时还包含着某种因果关系，表示“因
某种状况的存在而导致……”, 因此可翻译成“由于；因为”等。

I can’t work with all that noise going on.
由于那噪音响着，我无法工作。

1) 此句中的连词while的意思是 “当……的时候；和……同时”，while还可以表示“而；然而；但”之意，用来说明和强调两种事情或情形不同。
e.g. Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet.
汤姆活跃外向，而他的妹妹罗莎却害羞腼腆。
2) make sure“确认，查明，核实；确保；设法保证”，其后可接句子，或接介
词of及宾语，用来引入需要确认的内容。
e.g. Could you make sure what time he’s arriving
你能确认一下他几点到达吗？
Make sure you turn off the TV before you leave the house.
在你离开屋子前确认关闭了电视。
3) 此句中的work表示机器，器官等“运作，运转”，这是动词work的一种基
本用法。

It is adj.+ to do sth. 做……怎么样。

sleepy是形容词，可意为“困倦的；瞌睡的”，可作定语和表语。如：
I’ll go to bed. I’m sleepy. 我要去睡觉了。我困了。
asleep是形容词，意思是“睡着的”，强调状态，常作表语。短语fall asleep意为“入睡；睡着”。如：

die down逐渐变弱，逐渐平息
e.g. When you saw him, his anger had died down a bit.
你看见他的时候，他的火气已经下去了。

Step 4 单元复习
过去进行时
1. 概念: 表示过去某个时刻或过去一段时间正在进行的动作。
2. 句子结构: 主语 + was/were + doing sth. + 时间状语
3. 时间状语词: at 5:00 yesterday afternoon, at that time, then 等连用, 或者用另一
动作来表示过去的时间。如：
They were playing basketball when she arrived.
While they were playing basketball, she arrived.
过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作，它的特点是：暂时，持续和未完成，强调过程；一般过去时表示发生过的动作或存在的状态，即表示动作发生过，而且已经结束了，强调结果。
1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she had
finished it．
A. has written B. wrote
C. had written D. was writing
2) Mary ____ a dress when she cut her finger.
A. made B. is making
C. was making D. makes
was making 表示正在做衣服的过程，如用made 则表示这一动作已结束，做衣服的动作已结束与 cut her finger就没有联系。
3) He _______ (write) a letter, then went to bed.
wrote 表示动作已结束，做另一件事，如用was writing 就与 went to bed 在逻
辑上相矛盾。
过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事，侧重说明事实。
He ___________ all night last night.
（生动的描写，他一直写……）
He ________ something last night．[]
（说明他写了……的事实）
注：下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时。
① 表示状态的动词 be；
② 感官动词：feel, hear, see, smell, taste等;
③ 表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe (认为), forget, consider, know, remember,
hope, wish, want 等；
④ 表示所属关系的动词：belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。
when, while
区别：
1) 由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；
由while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句应用过去进行时。
When the teacher came in, we were talking.
当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：
While we were talking, the teacher came in.
2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while
引导。如：
They were singing while we were dancing.
【活学活用】
1. I _________ my homework when Mike ______ last night.
昨天晚上迈克来的时候我正在写作业。
2. While Ann ____________ TV, her father _______ home.
安正在看电视时，她父亲回来了。
