语法
一般将来时
大家都有很多将来要做的事，可是在英语中怎样表达呢？请看下面的这则对话：
Teacher：“三八”妇女节就要到了，同学们应该做一件让妈妈高兴的事情。
Peter：I will help my mother with the housework tomorrow.
Lucy：I will help my mother do some shopping.
Tom：I will help my mother clean the room.
Teacher：Good. You're all good children.
从上面的对话中，你发现一般将来时的特点了吗？
★ 概念：
一般将来时是表示将来某个时间要发生的动作或存在的状态。
My brother will watch a football match on TV this evening.
我弟弟今天晚上将在电视上观看一场足球比赛。
构成及句式：
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
He won't go to school this afternoon.
今天下午他不去上学了。
—Will she visit her grandma next weekend
下个周末她去探望她的祖母吗？
—Yes，she will./No，she won't.
是的，她去。/不，她不去。
★时间状语：
这一时态常用的时间状语有：tomo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rrow(morning，afternoon，evening)，next time，in a month，from now on，soon 等。
I'll be more careful from now on.
从现在起我会更加小心的。
★一般将来时的其他形式：
1．“be going to＋动词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )原形”可表示将来，用来表示近期将要发生的动作或存在的状态，以及计划、安排、打算要做的事。其中be有人称和数的变化。
We're going to pick apples next week.
下周我们打算去摘苹果。
2．现在进行时也可表示将来，通常表示已安排好的活动或事情。
He's leaving for Shanghai tomorrow.
他明天要出发去上海。
【例1】 —Tomorrow will be Father's Day. What will you do
—I ______“I love you，Daddy” to him.
A．will say B．is saying
C．says D．say
解析 由问句中的“Tomorrow”可知，答句是表示将来要发生的事，故用一般将来时态。 答案
A
句意 “明天是父亲节，你会做什么？”“我会对他说‘我爱你，爸爸’。”
【例2】 There______ fewer trees in the future.
A．is going to be B．are going to be
C．is going to have D．are going to have
解析 此题考查there be句型一般将来时的用法 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。句中的主语是trees(可数名词)，首先排除A、C两项；且there be本意是“有”，不能与实义动词have/has用在一起。 答案
B
句意 将来会有更少的树。
【例3】 We will have a discussion about it______.
A．three days ago B．after three days
C．the day before D．in three days
解析 本题考查in的用法。将来时不与表示过去的时间连用，故排除A、C两项；在将来时中表示一段时间之后，介词用in不用after。 答案
D
句意 三天后我们将有一次关于这件事情的讨论。
【例4】 I ______my grandparents tonight.
A．will visit B．am visiting
C．visit　 D．both A and B
解析 由时间状语tonight可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知要用一般将来时，而一般将来时的结构为“will/shall＋动词原形”或直接用现在进行时表示计划、打算要做的事，故选D项。 答案
D
句意 今晚我要去看望我的祖父母。
Section B & Self Check

Section B 2b
Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot
When we watc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h movies about the future，we sometimes see robots. They are usually just like human servants.①They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
②Today there are al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ready robots working in factories.③For example，they can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring，but robots will never get bored.
④Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.⑤However，they agree it may take hundreds of years. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us. Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance. These kinds of robots are fun to watch.
But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person. For example，it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr. White thinks that robots won't be able to do this，but some scientists disagree. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
New robots will hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e many different shapes. Some will look like humans，and others might look like snakes.
⑦If buildings fal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l down with people inside，snake robots will be able to help look for people under the buildings.⑧That may not seem possible now，but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future！,
你认为你将会拥有自己的机器人吗？
当我们看关于未来的电影时，我们有时候会看到机器人。他们通常像人类的仆人。他们帮助做家务，并在肮脏的、危险的地方工作。
现在已经有机器人在工厂里工作了。例如，他 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们可以帮助造车，并且能够反复地做一些简单的工作。在未来会有更少人做那样的工作，因为它们很无聊，但是机器人从不会感到无聊。
一些科学家相信将来会有更多机器人。然 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )而，他们都一致认为这要经历上百年的时间。科学家们现在正尽力让机器人看起来像人并和我们做一样的事情。在日本，一些机器人甚至会行走和跳舞。这些种类的机器人看起来会是很有趣的。
但是科学家詹姆斯·怀特认为对机器人来说 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和人做一样的事情会是很难的。例如，对一个孩子来说醒来和知道他们在哪里是容易的。怀特先生认为机器人将不能做到这点，但是一些科学家不同意。他们认为25到50年后机器人甚至能像人一样交谈。
新生机器人将有许多不同的形状。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一些将看起来像人，另一些可能像蛇。如果楼房倒塌而里面有人，蛇形机器人将能够帮助寻找楼房下面的人。现在看起来似乎是不可能的，但在100年之前，电脑、火箭似乎也是不可能的。我们永远不知道未来会发生什么！
知识详解
1．①They help with t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
他们帮助做家务，并在肮脏的、危险的地方工作。
【解读】dangerous adj.有危险的；不安全的
指对他人或物构成了危险或威胁。
The tiger is very dangerous.老虎是很危险的。
【拓展】
danger n. 危险，in danger意为“处于危险之中”，指自身处于危险之中。
Some animals are in danger.
一些动物处于危险之中。
【例题】It's ______ to climb(爬) the tall tree. Be careful.
A．danger　　　　　 B．dangerous
C．busy D．difficult
点拨：根据“小心”可知“爬那棵高树是危险的”。danger是名词，意为“危险”。is后接形容词作表语。
答案：B
2．②Today there are al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ready robots working in factories.现在已经有机器人在工厂里工作了。
【解读】本句含有固定句型：There is/are＋sb./sth.＋doing sth.表示“有某人/某物在做某事”。
There are some boys swimming in the swimming pool.
有一些男孩在游泳池里游泳。
There is a bag lying on the ground.
有一个包躺在地上。
【例题】There will be robots ______ with us in the future.
A．talk B．will talk
C．talking D．talked
点拨：句意为“将来会有机器人 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和我们交谈”。There will be＋sb.＋doing sth.是There is/are＋sb./sth.＋doing sth.的变形。
答案：C
3．③For example，they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again.
例如，他们可以帮助造车，并且能够反复地做一些简单的工作。
【解读】over and over again 多次；反复地
He told me to look after his dog over and over again.
他再三地告诉我照顾他的小狗。
I don't like to do boring exercises over and over again.
我不喜欢反复地做无聊的习题。
【拓展】
once again 再一次
Let's do that once again.我们再做一次。
【例题】Teachers should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n't ask students to copy the words ______.It's simple and boring.
A．again B．once again
C．over and over again D．again over and over
点拨：A项意为“又一次”；B项意为“再一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )次”；C项意为“多次；反复地”；D项短语有误。由句意“教师不应该让学生反复地抄写单词。那简单又无聊。”可知C项符合句意。
答案：C
4．④Some scientists bel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ieve that there will be more robots in the future.一些科学家相信将来会有更多机器人。
【解读】believe v．相信；认为有可能
作及物动词，之后可以接名词、代词作宾语，也可以接宾语从句。
I believe that he'll come here.
我认为他会来这儿。
若要否定believe 后所跟宾语从句的意义，则往往承前否定。这一点与think相同。
I don't believe that he will come here.
我认为他不会来这儿。
【例题】I ______ believe he ______ speak three languages.
A．don't；can't B．do；can't
C．don't；can D．am not；can
点拨：浏览各选项看出本句是否定句，b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elieve 后接了宾语从句，否定时前置，故排除B项；否定前置，后面用肯定形式，故排除A项；主语是I，动词是believe，所以否定时要借助于助动词don't，排除D项。句意为“我认为他不会说三种语言”。
答案：C
5．⑤However，they agr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ee it may take hundreds of years.然而，他们都一致认为这要经历上百年的时间。
【解读】hundreds of许多；大量，后接名词复数。
类似用法的还有：thousands of 成千上万的；millions of 数百万计的；billions of 十亿计的
Hundreds of people lost their homes in the floods.
数百人在洪水中失去了家园。
【拓展】
hundred前有基数词时，hundre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d不用复数形式，且后面也不用of。thousand，million，billion同hundred。
There are eight hundred workers in the factory.
这个工厂有八百名工人。
【例题】There are ______of students in our school but only ______ of them are girls.
A．hundreds；two hundred B．hundred；two hundreds
C．hundreds；two hundreds D．hundred；two hundred
点拨：hundreds of stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dents意为“数百名学生”；two是基数词，因此hundred用原形。句中第二空格后of 意为“的”，并非two hundreds of，故选A项。句意为“我们学校有数百名学生，但其中只有二百名是女生”。
答案：A
6．⑥Mr. White thinks ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that robots won't be able to do this，but some scientists disagree.
怀特先生认为机器人将不能做到这点，但是一些科学家不同意。
【解读】be able to 能够做某事；会做某事
He is able to swim.他会游泳。
【辨析】
be able to 和can
二者都可以表示“能；会”。在表示现在和过去“力所能及”时，二者可以互换。
I can/am able to speak a little English now.
我现在会说一些英语。
He was able to/could run fast when he was eight.
他八岁时就能跑得很快了。
但它们也有一些区别：
be able to 可用于各种时态；可用于不定式的后面；不能用于表示猜测的句中。
can 只用于一般现在时和一般过去时。不能用于不定式的后面。表示猜测时，只能用can。
You will be able to learn another foreign language in two years.
两年后你将能够学另一门外语。
I hope to be able to go fishing with you.
我希望能和你一起去钓鱼。
Mr. King can't be at home now.
现在金先生不可能在家。
【解读】disagree v. 不同意；持不同意见；有分歧，其反义词是agree。
disagree with sb.不同意某人
He disagrees with me and I'm very angry.
他不同意我，我很生气。
disagreement n. 分歧；不同观点，反义词是agreement。
We students often have some disagreements.
我们学生经常有分歧。
【例1】Take it easy. I am sure you ______ work it out soon.
A．will can B．will be able to
C．be able to D．could
点拨：句意为“别着急，我相信 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )你很快就会把它给解出来的”。用be able to 的将来时。A项错误，因为can没有将来时；C项中的be受人称单复数所决定；D项不符合时态。
答案：B
【例2】It ______ be our English teacher，because he is in Shanghai now.
A．can not B．could not
C．isn't able to D．is able to not
点拨：浏览题干，根据后半句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句意“因为现在他在上海”可知“那肯定不是我们的英语教师”，故表示推测，排除C、D两项；could在表示推测时，可能性要小，故选A项。
答案：A
【例3】At this point，Bob ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and Tom have some ______.But who do you ______ with
A．disagree；disagreements B．disagreements；disagree
C．agreements；disagree D．disagreement；disagree
点拨：some后接disagreements ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )或agreements都可，排除A、D两项；C项在句中与句意不符；故选B项。句意为“在这点上，鲍勃和汤姆有一些分歧。但是你不同意谁呢？”。
答案：B
7．⑦If buildings fall d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )own with people inside，snake robots will be able to help look for people under the buildings.
如果楼房倒塌而里面有人，蛇形机器人将能够帮助寻找楼房下面的人。
【解读】本句是复合句，if引导的是条件状语从句。
【解读】fall v. 倒塌；跌倒；掉落，过去式为：fell。
Rain is falling.雨正在下。
fall down 突然倒下；跌倒；倒塌
An earthquake happened and many houses fell down.
地震发生了，许多房屋都倒塌了。
fall n. 秋天
It's cool in fall.秋天很凉爽。
【解读】look for 寻找；寻求，强调找的过程。
He's looking for his dog.他正在寻找他的小狗。
【辨析】
look for，find，find out
(1)look for意为“寻找”，强调“寻找”的过程。
(2)find指“偶然发现”或“几乎无困难地找到”。强调“寻找”的结果。
(3)find out指通过观察、探索而发现事实的真相。一般指主观有意识的动作。
The police found out who was the criminal.
警察查明了谁是罪犯。
The police looked for the thief everywhere，but they didn't find him.
警察到处找那个小偷，但没找到。
【例1】Last night his house ______ after a heavy rain.
A．fell down B．falls down
C．felt down D．feels down
点拨：根据last nigh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t可知时态用一般过去时；fall 是动词原形，过去式为fell；而felt是feel的过去式。句意为“昨天晚上，他的房子在一场大雨后倒塌了”。
答案：A
【例2】Lily ______ her shoes，but she didn't ______ them.
A．looked for；find B．found；looked for
C．looked for；find out D．found out；looked for
点拨：look for强调“寻找 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”的过程。find强调“寻找”的结果。find out指通过观察、探索而发现事实的真相。综上所述，只有A项符合。句意为“莉莉寻找她的鞋子，但是没有找到它们”。
答案：A
8．⑧That may not seem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )possible now，but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago.
现在看起来似乎是不可能的，但在100年之前，电脑、火箭似乎也是不可能的。
【解读】possible adj.可能存在或发生的；可能的
It's possible for an eight- month baby to walk
对于一个八个月的婴儿来说，会走路是可能的。
impossible adj. 不可能的，是possible的反义词。
Nothing is impossible if you try your best.
如果你尽最大努力，没有事情是不可能的。
【例题】The Internet ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kes it ______ for us to send information to each other in a few seconds.
A．possible B．necessary
C．impossible D．important
点拨：A项意为“可能的”；B项意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“必需的”；C项意为“不可能的”；D项意为“重要的”。根据事实情况可知，“互联网使得我们在几秒钟内互相发送信息成为可能”。
答案：A
9．In the future， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people will work more so they'll probably have fewer vacations...
在将来，人们会更多地工作，所以他们可能有更少的假期……
【解读】probably adv.很可能；大概
可放于句首，也可放在助动词、系动词、情态动词之后或实义动词之前。
Probably he has come.他可能已经来了。
It'll probably snow.也许要下雪。
【辨析】
probably，maybe，perhaps，may be
probably 也许；可能，表示把握性很大的事情。
maybe或许；大概，把握性比probably小，相当于perhaps。常放于句首。
Maybe/Perhaps he is right.或许他是对的。
may be 可能是，是情态动词may＋be，常用作谓语动词。
Maybe he is a doctor.＝He may be a doctor.
他可能是一名医生。
【例1】 He will ______come tomorrow.
A．perhaps B．maybe
C．probably D．may be
点拨：浏览题干可知will come是 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )谓语动词，故排除D项；A、B两项常放于句首，故排除；C项意为“或许；大概”，可放于句首，也可放于助动词、系动词、情态动词之后或实义动词之前，符合句法。句意为“明天他可能回来”。
答案：C
【例2】 Maybe my uncle is at home.(改为同义句)
My uncle ______ ______at home.
点拨：maybe意为“或许；大概” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，是一个副词。句意为“或许我叔叔在家”。第二句缺少谓语，又含有“大概；或许”之意，故用may be，是情态动词后接be，可作谓语。

It was Christ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mas. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days.
Each day the childr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en produced some new 11 — Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone, 12 from far away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles (small balls, made of glass or stone) and competed with one another to bring the 13 ones.
The day of gift-g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were 14 . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she 15 .
After school I sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it had been 16 many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me ” I asked. She said not a word, but 17 her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old 18 and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. Suddenly I knew — she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or 19 her childish joys or sorrows.
I meant 20 when I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )said in a low voice, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: her trust and love.

Father’s Day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has a very short history.

Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.
On Valentine’s Day, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box.
