Module 4
Unit 1 I can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.
知识点01 It’s leaving from Platform 2. 从2号站台出发。
【考点1】be leaving在这是现在进行时表将来时意义。在英语中,可以用现在进行时表将来的动词一般都是一些表示位置转移的动词,如come, leave, go, fly, move, start等。用现在进行时表将来指的是近期的、按计划和安排要发生的动作。如:
Are they all coming tomorrow 他们明天都来吗?
Annie is coming for supper this evening. 今晚安妮要来吃晚餐。
知识点012So am I, but I can’t miss two weeks of school. 我也是(很遗憾),但是我不能两周不上课。
【考点2】So am I意为“我也是”,so代替上文提到的情况。“So+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示自己与前一个人的情况相同或同意前一个人的说法,意思是“某人(主语)也是如此”。be动词/助动词/情态动词要与前面句子的谓语在形式、时态上保持一致,与本句主语在人称和数上保持一致。如:
He can swim, and so can I. 他会游泳,我也会。
Joe was a little upset, and so was I. 乔有点不开心,我也有点儿。
He has been ill, and so has his wife. 他一直生着病,他妻子也一样。
【拓展】“so+ be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”与“so+主语+ be动词/助动词/情态动词”的用法辨析:
①“so+be动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示前面所述肯定情况同样适用于后者,意为“某人(主语)也是如此”,前后两句的主语不是同一人。在口语交际中,可转化为“宾格代词+too”。如:
He goes to school by bike every day. So do I. 他每天骑车上学,我也如此。
Neil left just after midnight, and so did Jack. 尼尔一过午夜就走了,杰克也是。
②“so+主语+ be动词/助动词/情态动词”表示对前面所述情况加以确认,意为“某人(主语)的确如此”, 前后两句的主语是同一人。如:
---- He likes the car. 他喜欢那辆小汽车。 ---- So he does. 他确实喜欢。
Tom says you work hard, so you do, and so does he. 汤姆说你努力工作,你确实如此,他工作也努力。
【拓展】表示与上文所述否定情况相同时,应该用句型“Neither+ be/助动词/情态动词+主语”结构。如:
Mary isn’t outgoing, neither am I. 玛丽不外向,我也不(外向)。
【考点3】miss在这里的意思是“未出席;未出现”,后面出现动词时,应该用动名词形式;miss 作动词还有“想念;错过;漏掉”的意思。miss作名词意为“女士; 小姐”,此时m必须大写,常用于姓名或姓之前,尤指未婚女子。如:
He’s missed school three days this week. 本周他缺了3天课。
He never missed attending the lectures. 他从未缺席过这些讲座。
知识点03Be especially careful with the door. 特别要注意家门。
【考点4】careful 是形容词,意为“仔细的;认真的;小心的”,在句中作表语或定语。其用法如下:

He’s careful in reading every sentence. 他读每个句子都很仔细。
③be careful to do sth. 意为“小心做某事”。如:

④be careful+that 从句。意为“小心……”。如:

⑤be careful of/about意为“注意;当心,留意”。如:
I hope you’ll be more careful of/about your health. 我希望你要多注意身体。
知识点04I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for me. 我能照顾好自己,尽管那对我来说不那么容易。
【考点5】look after意为“照顾,照看;照管”,后跟名词或代词作宾语,同义短语为take care of。如:
Please look after the baby for me for a while, will you 请替我照顾这个婴儿一会儿,好吗?

题组C 培优拔尖练
Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. But as I chose and read, and chose and read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad,and you and I will have had 56 Father’s Days together. I didn’t think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn’t realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.
Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we’ll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don’t quite know how to tell you this, dad...I don’t like carrots.... but I like planting them with you.
I guess what ‘m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising a father on Father’s Day is about more than a dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It’s more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about sharing. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.
Love,
Jenny
