Unit2 教材知识详解
1. What will life be like in the future 将来的生活会是什么样子?
What will…be like... 用以询问“……将会是什么样子?”。What be...like 还可以用于询问某人的性格特点。如:
What is he like 他的性格怎么样?
He is very kind and easy-going.他人很好,也很随和。
2. No more expensive cars—it’ll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land, but also over the sea or even into space.
不再有昂贵的汽车,乘飞机到处旅行将会变得便宜,不仅仅是在陆地上,还可以在水上或甚至在太空。
1)句型结构:it is + adj.+ to do sth,it是形式主语,真正的主语为动词不定式后置。如:
It was wrong for you not to help her.
你当时不帮助她是错误的。(it代替不定式短语)
2) not only...but also表示“不仅……而且……”,用于连接两个并列的成分,等同于not only...but....as well.如:
She not only plays well, but also writes music.
若连接两个成分作主语,其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致。如:
Not only you but also he has to leave.
不但你而且他也得离开。
若连接两个句子,not only后面的句子要用倒装。
如:Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily.
他不仅说得更正确,而且讲得更不费劲了 。
3. The sea level will rise as well.
海平面也会升高。
rise升起,上升,是一个不及物动词。如:
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.太阳从东边升起,西边落下。
as well意为“也;又”,多位于句尾,和too是同义表达。also和either也表示“也”,但also位于肯定句句中,either用于否定句句尾。如:
The little girl sings, and plays the piano as well. 这个小女孩既会唱歌,又会跳舞。
