本节学习动词ride, take, live, think of, get to在句子中的应用，在问路和指路的语言材料中学会how far, how long等句型，做一个乐于助人的好学生。
名师开小灶
1. Can I help you 我可以帮助你吗？
此句常用于服务场所，在不同的场合译成不同的汉语意思。如：
—Can I help you 你想买什么？
—Yes, please. I want some clothes for my daughter.是的，我想给我的女儿买衣服。
—Can I help you 你想吃什么？
—Yes, please. Some rice and chicken. 是的，来些米饭和鸡肉。
【链接】What can I do for you 也表达同样的意义。
【金钥匙】回答Can I help you 时，作肯定回答常用Yes, please.再说出所需的物品，作否定回答常用No, thanks.。但回答What can I help you 时，作肯定回答常直接说出所需的物品，这与Can I help you 的肯定回答是不同的。
2. I need to see my friend. 我需要去看我的朋友。
need在此作实义动词，后接动词不定式，表示“需要去做某事”。如：
She needs to go at once. 她需要马上就去。
You don’t need to come if you feel sick. 如果你不舒服就不必来。
【拓展】
① need doing意为“某物需要……”，含有被动意味。如：
The TV needs mending again. =The TV needs to be mended again. 这台电视机需要修理一下。
② need作情态动词，没有人称、数和时态的变化，多用于疑问句和否定句，肯定句多用must，have to等，后接动词原形。如：
You needn’t say sorry to me. 你不必向我道歉。
—Need I come now 我必须现在来吗？
—Yes, you must. / No, you needn’t. 是的，你必须来。/ 不，你不必来。
3. Don’t worry. 别担心。
(1) 这是一个否定的祈使句，用于安慰他人。
(2) 祈使句是用来表达请求、命令、劝告、建议等的句子。祈使句一般不含主语。祈使句的否定式一般是在谓语动词前加Don’t。如：
Look at the blackboard. 请看黑板。
Don’t look out. 别朝外看。
(3) worry 作动词，意思是“担心，担忧，焦虑”，后常接介词about。如：
Don’t worry about me. 别担心我。
(4) 形容词为worried，可作表语、定语、补足语等。常用搭配有：be / look worried, be / look worried about…。
4. Let me look at your map.
Let sb. do sth. 意为“让某人做某事”。如：
Let me have a look. 让我看一看。
【拓展】let, make, have都称作使役动词，后面的动作都用动词原形。如：
Don’t make her sleep. 别让她睡着。
She had me stand. 她让我站着。
5. Thank you so much! 十分感谢你！
(1) Thank you so much=Thank you very much.其答句有：You’re welcome. / That’s OK. / That’s all right. / Not at all.
(2) so作副词，常修饰形容词或副词，意为“如此”。句中的much是副词。
6. If you have a problem, you can ask me. 如果你有问题，你可以问我。
(1) if引导的条件下状语从句分两种情形：从句使用一般现在时，主句使用情态动词；从句使用一般现在时，主句使用一般将来时。如：
If the traffic light is red, you must stop. 红灯时，你必须停下来。
If he comes tomorrow, I will let you know as soon as possible. 如是他明天来，我会尽快通知你。
(2) problem和question都指问题，但它们有区别，question多指要求回答的问题，或指一般问题，problem则指较难的，或待解决的问题。如：
Can you answer my question 你能回答我的问题吗？
Computers can solve many difficult problems. 电脑可以解决很多难题。

热点追综
热点一： 交通方式的不同表达
例1：(2007天津)—Will you get there by _______
—No, I’ll take _______ taxi.
A. /, a B. a, the C. /, / D. the, a
解析：乘坐交通工具时，by和交通工具之间不能有冠词，而用动词take时，后要加冠词+单数名词或直接加复数名词。故选A。
热点二： it takes sb. some time to do sth.的用法
例2： (2007潍坊)It took my daughter two weeks ________ the novels _______ by Yang Hongying.
A. read, written B. to read, written C. reading, to write D. to read, wrote
解析：本题考查固定句型。对于“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”句型，应用动词不定形式，后一空表示被动关系，表明由某人所写的书，句子中已经有了谓语动词，不能用被语态，应用过去分词表示被的意思。选B。
热点三：情态动词must的用法
例3：(2007潍坊)—Must I give the dictionary back to the library now
—No, you _______. You can ________ it for another two weeks.
A. needn’t, borrow B. needn’t, keep C. mustn’t, lend D. mustn’t, keep
解析：作为must引导的疑问句的否定回答应该用needn’t表示“不必”，介词for出现之后句子的谓语动词应该用延续性动词，borrow是一个短暂性动词，它相应的延续性动词应该用keep。因此选B。
热点四：句型why not… 的用法
例4：(2007新疆)—My English is very weak. What shall I do
—_______ join the English club
A. How about B. Why don’t C. Why not D. Let’s
解析：本题考查提供建议的方法。句意为：—我的英语很差，我该怎么办？—为什么不参加英语俱乐部呢？how about后应该加动名词；why not相当于why don’t you, 后加动词原形；let’s后应该加动词原形，但它是一个陈述句。因此选C。

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

知能新视窗
本节主要学习30—100的数词来表达时间段，和一些交通方式的动词短语，并能运用how，how long来询问他人去某地的乘车方式和所需的时间。
名师开小灶
1. How do you get to school 你是怎样去上学？
(1) how作疑问副词，表示“如何，怎样，以何种方式或手段”。此句是对交通方式的提问，其回答方式如下：
I get to school on foot / by bike / by bus. 我步行/骑自行车/乘公交车去上学。
(2) get意为“到达”，是不及物动词，后接地点名词时应加介词to。如：
I usually get home at six o’clock. 我通常六点钟到家。
He got to Shanghai yesterday. 昨天他到达上海。
【辨析】get, arrive, reach
① arrive意为“抵达，到达”，是不及物动词，后接地点名词时，应跟介词at或in。当表示的地点是国家、城市等相对大地方时，常用介词in，反之，当到达的地点是车站、机场等小地方时，就用介词at。如：
When will they arrive in Beijing 他们几点到达北京？
Please call me as soon as you arrive at the hotel. 一到宾馆请给我打电话。
② reach意为“到达”，是及物动词，后可直接带宾语。如：
The climbers reached the top of the mountain at midnight. 登山队员们半夜到达山顶。
2. I ride my bike. 我骑车。
ride one’s bike是强调骑车的动作。其中one’s还可用a或the。又如：
ride a horse骑马 ride the motorbike骑摩托车
3. I usually walk but sometimes I take the bus. 我通常步行去，但有时也坐公共汽车。
(1) “take + the + 交通工具”用于表示“乘……”，相当于“by + 交通工具”。如：
I will take the train to Kunming. = I will go to Kunming by train. 我将乘火车去昆明。
【链接】① 与交通方式相关的动词短语。
take the subway乘地铁 take the bus乘公共汽车
take the train乘火车 take the plane乘飞机
take a taxi乘出租车 take a boat乘木船
drive a car开小车 ride a bike骑自行车
② 一些介词短语也可表示交通方式。
by bus乘公共汽车 by plane乘飞机
by ship乘轮船 by train乘火车
by taxi乘出租车 on foot步行
on a bike骑自行车 in a car坐小车
4. How long does it take (上学)需要多长时间？
(1) how long用来提问“多长时间”，强调的是一段持续的时间。如：
How long did you stay in New York 你在纽约呆了多久？
(2) 此句是一个省略句，it是主语，指代上文中提到的to get to school。
(3) take作动词，意为“花费”，仅限于花费时间。常用it takes sb. some time to do sth. 这一固定句型，意为“做某事需要花费某人多长时间”，it是形式主语，不定式to do是真正的主语。如：
—How long does it take you to go home on foot 你步行回家需要花多少时间？—It takes about fifteen minutes. 大约需要十五分钟。
【拓展】take的用法
① 表示“吃或喝”。如：Please take a cup of tea. 请喝杯茶。
② 表示“拿走，带走”。如：Don’t forget to take some juice. 别忘了带果汁。
③ 表示“购买”。如：
—What about this jacket 这件夹克如何？
—OK. I’ll take it. 好的，我就买这件。
5. How far is it from his home to school 从他的家到学校有多远？
(1) 本句中的it指代的是距离。如：
It’s about ten kilometers away. 大约有十公里远。
(2) how far意为“多远”，用于许多询问两地间的距离，答语要用表示距离的词语。如：
—How far is it from Beijing to Shanghai 从北京到上海有多远？
—About a few thousand kilometers. 大约有几千米。
【金钥匙】在回答How far的提问时，有两种情形：
① 有具体数字时，应与away from连用，表示具体距离的计量，口语中away可省去。
② 没有具体数字时，应用far或near作答。如：
—How far is it from the earth to the moon 从地球到月球有多远？
—It’s very far. 很远。
③ from…to…意为“从……到……”，既可用于地点，也可用于点时间，或其他内容。如：
We have classes from Monday to Friday. 我们从周一到周五有课。
It’s ten minutes’ walk from my home to school. 从我家到学校有十分钟步行的路程。
【拓展】from…to…的相关短语 from house to house 挨家挨户，家家户户
from head to foot从头到脚 from beginning to end自始至终
from time to time有时，偶尔 from morning to night从早到晚
6. Then he leaves for school at around six-thirty. 然后大约在六点半他动身去学校。
(1) leave for意为“动身去，前往”。如：
He is leaving for French next week. 下周他将要去法国。
【辨析】leave, leave for, leave…for表示“离开”的区别
① leave后接地点名词，意为“离开某地”。如：
Mary is leaving Beijing this afternoon. 今天下午玛丽要离开北京。
② leave for后接地点名词，意为“动身到某地去”。如：
Mary is leaving for Beijing this afternoon. 今天下午玛丽要启程去北京。
③ leave+地点名词+for+地点名词，意为“离开某地去某地”。如：
Mary is leaving Wuhan for Beijing this afternoon. 今天下午玛丽要离开武汉去北京。
(2) around作介词，意为“大约”，与about意思相同。
7. Then the early bus takes him to school. 他乘早班车去学校。
take… to…表示“把……带到……”，to作介词，表示“方向”，后跟地点。如：
Please take the books to the classroom. 请把这些书带到教室去吧。
【辨析】take, bring, get, carry
take意为“带走”，指把东西从说话地带到别的地方，而bring则表示“带来”，指将某物从别处带到说话人所在地；get意为“拿来，取来”，指从说话地到别的地方去把某物取来；carry不说明动作的方向，只强调物体的负重，意为“扛，搬”。如：
Will you please take me to the hotel 请带我到宾馆去，好吗？
We’ll have a party in our classroom tomorrow. Can you bring your guitar here 明天我们开晚会，你可以把你的吉它带来吗？
I’m thirsty. Will you get me some tea 我口渴，请给我一些茶水，好吗？

名师开小灶
1. what she thinks of the transportation. 她对于交通有什么看法。
think of表示“有……看法，认为”，of为介词，后跟名词、代词或动名词和宾语从句。如：
What do you think of going for picnic this Sunday 你认为这个星期天去野炊怎么样？
【链接】此句中的think of 也可用think about替换。What do you think of… 与how do you like… 意思相同。
【辨析】think of, think about, think up, think over
① think of意为“想起，认为”；think about意为“认为，考虑”；这两个短语都是“动词+介词”短语，后接宾语时，宾语只能放在介词之后。两者在表示“认为”时，可以互换。
② think up意为“提出，想出”；think over意为“仔细考虑”，比think about思考的程度深。这两个短语是“动词+副词”，后接宾语代词时，代词应放在副词之前。
2. In North America, most students go to school on the school bus. 在北美，大部分学生坐校车上学。
on the school bus意为“乘坐校车”。此处的on作介词，意为“乘于……”，作此义解时，其后交通工具前应有修饰词。如：
He is riding on a bicycle. 他在骑自行车。
She always goes to work on the subway. 她总是乘地铁上班。
【辨析】on, in, by表示“乘坐”的区别
① by后接交通工具的单数形式，且其前无冠词或形容词性的物主代词。
② on / in表示乘坐某种交通工具，其后接冠词或物主代词，再接交通工具名词。注意on通常指乘坐大型的交通工具或骑自行车，in通常指乘坐小型的交通工具。
3. In other parts of the world, things are different. 在世界其他地方，情况就不同。
(1) other作形容词，意为“别的，其他的”，后直接跟名词的复数，泛指三者或三者以上的除去一部分后的另一些，而不是所剩的全部。如：
Some students are doing homework, other students are reading. 一些学生在做作业，其他的在读书。
【辨析】other, else
两词都有“别的，其他的”，other修饰名词，放在名词之前，而else修饰不定代词something, someone, anything, anyone等，不定副词somewhere, anywhere等、疑问代词who, what，疑问副词where, when等，且只能位于这些词之后。如：
What else do you want to say
= What other things do you want to say 你还想说什么？
(2) different作形容词，意为“不同的”，其反义词是same。构成短语：be/ look different from表示“（看起来）与……不同”，而表示“（看起来）与……相同”则是be/ look the same as。另外，different的名词是difference，构成短语：have difference from表示“与……有不同”。如：
My schoolbag is different from his. 我的书包与他的不同。
Lucy has a lot of difference from Lily. 露茜与莉莉有许多不同。
4. In Japan, most students, take trains to school, although others also walk or ride their bikes. 在日本，多数学生坐火车去学校，尽管另外一些人也步行或骑车。
(1) although=though表示“尽管，然而”，常用于引导让步状语从句，不与but连用，但可以与yet或still连用。如：
Although he is very old, (yet) he begins to learn English. 尽管他年龄大，但他还是开始学英语。
(2) others表示“别的人或物，其他的人或物”，others是代词，在句子中可作主语。如：
Some students come from Beijing, others are from Shanghai. 一些学生来自北京，其他的人来自上海。
【辨析】other, the other, others, the others
① other表示“别的，其他的”，作形容词，后接名词；others表示“别的人或物，其他的人或物”，作代词。两词都是泛指三者或三者以上的人或物，除去一部分后的另一些，而不是剩下的全部。
② the other作形容词，表示“别的，其他的”，后接名词；the others作代词，表示“别的人或物，其他的人或物”。两词都是指一定范围中除一部分以外后其余的全体人或物。如果the other作代词，则指两者中的另一方。
【金钥匙】other多用于复数名词前，但在some, any , every, no等词和物主代词后，可与单数名词或不可数名词连用。如：
I’ll come to see you some other day. 我改天再看你。
China is larger than any other country in Asia.
=China is larger than all the other countries in Asia. 中国在亚洲比任何国家大。
5. In China, it depends on where you are. 在中国，看你住在什么地方。
(1) 该句是一个复合句，where you are在此作介词on的宾语从句，意为“你所在的地方”。如：
I don’t know where you live. 我不知道你住在什么地方。
(2) 该句中的depend on是短语动词，意为“依……而定，取决于”，一般不用进行时态，on可换成upon，depend on后接名词，也可接从句。如：
Our success depends on whether everyone works hard or not. 我们的成败取决于每个人是否努力工作。
The time of our travel depends on the weather. 我们旅行的时间视天气而定。
【拓展】depend on后还可接to do或one’s doing，表示“依靠，依赖，指望……（做……）”。如：
You can’t depend on him to come on time.
=You can’t depend on his coming on time.你不能指望他会准时来。
4. And in places where there are rivers and lakes…在有河流、湖泊的地方……
此句中的where there are rivers and lakes是定语，由于是一个句子，故称为定语从句，修饰先行词places。引导定语从句的引导词是where，它取决于作地点状语的先行词place。如：
Great changes are taking place in the village where I have lived. 我曾经生活过的山村正发生着巨大的变化。
5. That must be a lot more fun than taking a bus! 那肯定要比坐汽车上学有趣得多。
(1) 该句中的must意为“一定是”，表示肯定的推测。如：
It’s already ten o’clock. My mother must be angry. 已是十点钟了，我妈妈一定在生气了。
He must be sleeping. 他一定睡着了。
【金钥匙】must表示肯定推测，但表示否定时，则用can’t。在疑问句中，也不用must，而要用can。如：
—Can Mr. Wang be in the office 王老师可能在办公室吗？
—No, he can’t. I saw him in the classroom just now. 他不可能在。刚才我看见他在教室里。
(2) 句中more…than…是比较级的句型，表示“比……多……”，more后跟名词、多音节形容词或副词的原级。如：
I have more books than he. 我的书比他的多。
This question is more difficult than that one. 这个问题比那个问题难得多。
(3) a lot作副词，意为“非常，很，相当”，可修饰形容词或副词的比较级。如：
He’s feeling a lot better today. 他今天精神好得多了。
I think she is a lot older. 我想她还要老得多。
【拓展】① a lot与very much意思相同，修饰动词。如：
She likes hamburgers a lot / very much. 她非常喜欢汉堡包。
② not与a lot连用，如not…at all根本不，not at all不用谢，没关系。如：
She doesn’t like meat at all. 她根本不喜欢肉。
—Thank you for helping me.谢谢你帮助我。
—Not at all. 不用谢。
【金钥匙】在表示“根本不”的否定句中，不能用very much替换a lot。
(4) taking a bus在该句中是与句首的that相对应的，that指代的是taking a boat，在more…than的句型中，than是连词，它的前后是相对应的。如：
Surfing the Internet is more fun than watching TV. 上网比看电视有趣得多。
6. In North America, not all students take the bus to school. 在北美，并非所有的学生都坐公共汽车上学。
not all…意思是“并非所有的……”表示部分否定。all students…的完全否定应用none of the students。表达部分否定时，not可位于句首或句中。如：
Not all students are interested in English.
=All students are not interested in English. 并非所有的学生对英语感兴趣。
7. In Japan, the three most popular ways of getting to school are bus, train and bike. 在日本，最受欢迎的三种上学方式是坐公共汽车，坐火车和骑自行车。
(1) most popular表示“最受欢迎的”，是形容词的最高级形式。其构成方式为：单音节和部分双音节形容词后面加-ed，如：strongest最强壮的；在双音节和多音节形容词和大多数副词原级前加most构成最高级，如：most beautiful最漂亮的，most quickly最快地。
(2) of是介词，后面的动词要用动名词形式。如：
It’s the best way of solving the problem.这是解决那个问题的最好方法。
8. In China, bikes and buses are the most popular means of transportation. 在中国，自行车和公共汽车是最受欢迎的交通工具。
本句中的means作名词，意思是“方法，手段，工具”。与way意思相同。如：
Dictionary is one of the means of learning English.词典是学习英语的一种工具。
【拓展】mean可作动词，意为“意思是”。如：
What’s the meaning of the word 这个词的意思是什么？
What does you mean by the word 你认为这个词的意思是什么？
9. Students in Hongshanhu and Kaishandao have to take a boat to get to school. 红山湖和开山岛的学生不得不坐船去上学。
have to表示“不得不，必须”，后跟动词原形，它有各种人称和数的变化。如：
I have to see the doctor because I have a stomachache. 我得去看医生因为我胃痛。
She has to finish her homework before school is over. 放学前她必须完成作业。
We’ll have to do some cleaning tomorrow. 明天我们不得不进行大扫除。
【【金钥匙】在使用have to时，各种句式的变化与行为动词相同。如：
Do you have to look after your sister 你必须照看你的妹妹吗？
I don’t have to stay in the room. 我不必呆在房间里。
【辨析】have to, must
have to强调由于外在的客观原因而使某人做某事；must是情态动词，表示“必须”，强调说话者的主观愿望。如：
I must finish my homework first. 我必须先完成我的作业。
—Must we water these flowers today 我们今天必须浇花吗？
—No, you needn’t. You can do it tomorrow. 你们不必。你们可以明天做这件事。
【金钥匙】对must的否定回答，用needn’t或don’t have to，不用mustn’t。
10. A small number of students take the subway. 少数学生乘地铁。
(1) a small number of…表示“一小部分，少数”。
(2) a number of意为“许多，大量”，接可数名词复数，修饰主语时，谓语动词用复数。可以用large或small来修饰number。如：
A large number of children like eating KFC. 很多孩子喜欢吃肯德基。
A small number of students are from Australia. 一小部分学生来自澳大利亚。
【拓展】the number of…意为“……的数量”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
