III. Reading

Ⅴ. Language points
1. expressing a difference
express v. 表达，表示
expression n. 表达 ，表示，表情
e.g. It expresses my love for the novel. 这表达了我对这部小说的热爱。
an expression of support 表示支持
2. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.
receive v. 接受；收到
e.g. Yesterday I received his gift, but I didn’t accept it and returned it to him.
昨天我收到了他的礼物，但是我没有接受并且退回去了。
辨析：receive 和 accept
从含义上说，receive只表示“收到”这一客观事实；而accept则多了一层主观上“接受”的意味。如：
All the children will receive a gift.
Please accept this small gift.
The girl received many birthday presents from her friends, and she accepted them happily.
在表示“接受教育(education)、受到欢迎(welcome)、得到支持(support)、接待客人(guest)”等时，通常用receive，而accept无此用法。如：
All the children at this age should receive education.
You will receive a warm welcome when you come to our school.
I received lots of support from my parents. I want to say thanks to them.
【语境应用】完成句子。
1) I will be happy if Sandy __________(接受) my offer.
2) Julia __________(receive / accept) presents from her son on Mother’s Day every year.
3) I went to the door to __________(receive / accept) those visitors.
4) Li Hua __________(receive / accept) a warm welcome when she was in England.
3. For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods.
关系副词where引导的定语从句，where在定语从句中作地点状语，修饰名词temple。本句可译为：多年以来，历史学家们认为巨石阵是古代首领用来与神灵沟通的一座神庙。
4. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar.
本句中包含一个that引导的表语从句。位于系动词之后的从句通常称为表语从句。表语从句一定要用陈述语序；可接表语从句的动词还有look, remain, seem等连系动词；that引导表语从句，只起连接作用，不作句子成分。
另一个表语从句：One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy.
5. The large stones were put together in a certain way.
in a certain way以某种方式；
certain某一；某个；某些，用于名词之前。
e.g. The doctor is only at this hospital on certain days.
那位医生只有在某些日子才在这所医院。
The library is only open at certain times of the day.
图书馆仅在一天的某些时段开放。
It’s wrong and dangerous to leave children under a certain age alone in the house.
把某个年龄以下的孩子独自留在家中是不对而且危险的。
6. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose.
medical adj. 医疗的；医学的
medicine n. 药
e.g. My sister studies at a medical college.
我的姐姐在医学院上学。
7. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy.
prevent v. 防止; 预防; 阻止; 阻挠, 后面可跟名词或代词。
prevent sb. (from) doing sth. 阻止某人做某事
表达此义的还有stop sb. (from) doing sth.和keep sb. from doing sth.。
e.g. What can we do to prevent the disease spreading
【运用】汉译英。
1) 她阻止了我把这一秘密告诉她的朋友们。
2) 对人们来说了解预防心脏病的方法是有必要的。
8. As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body.
感官动词feel + 宾语 + 宾语补足语 (不带to的动词不定式)，其用法与see, hear, watch等词一样，常表现感知动作的完整性及过程性。
e.g. We felt the house shake.
I see him walk into the classroom.
His mother watched him get into a taxi.
