Module 10The weatherUnit 3Language in use 2
may与might没有太大的区别,形式上might是may的过去式,但在表示将来的可能情况时,might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性要小。如:
Tim may come tomorrow.
蒂姆明天可能来。
There might be some rain tomorrow night.
明天晚上可能会有些雨。
情态动词本身有一定的含义,为谓语动词增添情态色彩,表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法,认为有可能、应该或有必要等。情态动词无人称和数的变化,其后接的动词需用原形,其否定式是在情态动词后加上not。当我们想表达可能发生某事以及某人可能做某事时,可以用may/might。

Pre-reading
亚马逊热带雨林(the Amazon Rainforest)主要位于南美洲的亚马逊平原,占地约550万平方公果,横跨巴西、哥伦比亚、秘鲁、委内瑞拉、尼瓜多尔、玻利维亚等多个国家。亚马逊热带雨林占据了世界雨林面积的一半,森林面积的20%,是全球最大、物种最多的热带雨林。
亚马孙河流域为世界最大流域,其雨林由东面的大西洋沿岸(林宽320公里)延伸到低地与安地斯山脉山麓丘陵相接处,形成一条林带,逐渐拓宽至1,900公里。雨林异常宽广,而且连绵不断,反映出该地气候特点:多雨、潮湿及普遍高温。
亚马孙热带雨林蕴藏着世界最丰富最多样的生物资源,昆虫、植物、鸟类及其他生物种类多达数百万种,其中许多科学上至今尚无记载。在繁茂的植物中有各类树种,包括香桃木、月桂类、棕榈、金合欢、黄檀木、巴西果及橡胶树。桃花心木与亚马孙雪松可作优质木材。主要野生动物有美洲虎、海牛、貘、红鹿、水豚和许多啮齿动物,亦有多种猴类,有“世界动植物王国”之称,也因为面积占全球雨林的一半,所以被称为“地球之肺”。
