新概念英语第二册 Lesson 54 Sticky fingers 讲义

Lesson54 Sticky fingers
Part 1: Text
After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter !

Part 4: Grammar&Difficult points
The, Some and Any
1、some 和 any可用于不可数名词及复数可数名词之前，some 通常用于肯定句，any通常用于否定句或疑问句中。但在期待得到肯定答复的疑问句中也可以用some，而在肯定句中表示“随便哪 个，任何一个”的含义时也可以用any。
These are the only meat pies I have. Do you want some of them
Yes, please. Any meat pies will do.
2、有些形容词可以用于the之后（决不能用于a/an之后），表示作为整体的群体，如 the blind，the deaf，the living，the dead，the rich，the poor，the young，the old。这些形容词后要跟复数动词，不可用这些形容词本身来指个体：
The Government always makes sure that the old are cared for.
This is a special school for the deaf.
如果想指单数个体，则可以说：
Sam is a young man with a lot of money.
3、当下列名词指其“主要目的”，即与其相关的动作时，要用零冠词（即名词前没有冠词）。
这名词有 bed，church，class，college，hospital，market，prison，school，sea，university，work。但在特指的东西面前要用the，泛指同类事物中的任何一个时则用a。
4、在形容词/副词的最高级前面要用the，但当most表示“大多数”时它前面则不加the。
the most 最
most of the… 大部分的……
most of the young people 大部分年轻人
Most young men have to work hard.
Most buildings in this district belong to the government.
关于must的疑问句应该根据实际情况而定。
A．must表示“应该”，其疑问部分用mustn't（不应该），如：
You must work hard next term, mustn't you 下学期你应该努力学习，对吗？
B．must表示“必须”，其疑问部分用needn't（不必），如：
They must finish the work today, needn’t they 他们今天必须要完成这项工作，是吗？
C．陈述部分含情态动词mustn't，表示禁止时，疑问部分就可以用must或may，如：
You mustn’t stop your car here, must you (may we )你不能把车停在这地方，知道吗？
D．must表示推测 ，其疑问部分必须与must 后面的主要动词相呼应。如：
①对现在动作或存在的情况的推测 ：
You must know the answer to the exercise, don't you 你一定知道这项练习的答案，是不是？
②对过去发生的动作或存在的情况的推测：
（一）句中陈述部分没有表示过去的时间状语，这时疑问部分中的动词就用现在完成时。（haven’t / hasn’t + 主语）
You must have told her about it, haven’t you 你一定把这事告诉她了，是吗？
（二）陈述部分有表示过去的时间状语，疑问部分的动词就用
一般过去时。（didn’t + 主语）
