【Text】
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
参考译文
我家的狗雷克斯, 过去常坐在大门外面叫. 每当它想到花园里来时, 便汪汪叫个不停, 直到有人把门打开. 由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见, 所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来. 雷克斯很快成了开门的专家. 然而上星期我正要出去买东西时, 发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方. 这次它叫着让人把它放出去!从那以后, 它养成了另外一种坏习惯. 它从外面把门一打开, 就走进花园, 等着门自动关上. 这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来, 直到有人来把它放出去. 出去之后, 它又马上把自己放进来, 接着再开始叫. 昨天, 我丈夫把大门卸了下来, 雷克斯很生气, 此后我们便再也没有见到它.

【Key Structures】(复习L50-L58所有句型)
一般现在时:
表习惯动作的动词一般用一般现在时:
belong to, need, contain, believe, doubt, see, hear, know, understand,
think, consider, feel, look, seem, show, mind, have, sound, taste,
require, possess, care, like, hate, love ,detest, desire
一般过去时:强调过去某时发生的动作或处于的状态
现在完成时:have(has)+v.-ed 强调过去某时的动作对现在存在的影响
现在完成进行时:have(has)been doing 动作从过去发生一直延续到现在
used to do: 过去常常做某事,话外音常是与现在情形对比的,而现在已经不这
样做了。
would do: 过去某时常做某事,动作不是很规律的,不能表达出和现在情况形成
对比。
被动语态:It is said to do/that
【Special difficulties】
To,In order to,So as to,So that,In order that表达目的几种方式
带to的不定式及in order to和so as to可以用来表示目的:
I went to live in France to/in order to/so as to learn French.
not to可以用来表示取舍:
I went to France not to study French, but to study chemics.
so as not to/in order not to可以用于表示“以防”:
I shut the door quietly, so as not to/in order not to wake the bady.
在bring,buy,need,take,use,want等动词后经常用宾语加to不定式,用来表示宾语的目的。
I need a spoon to eat this ice cream with.
连词so that,in order that可以引导目的状语从句。目的状语从句必须具备一个特征, 在动词前面一定要出现情态动词,当主句用一般现在时、现在完成时或一般将来时的时候,so that和in order that后面可以跟may,can或will;当主句用一般过去时、过去进行时或过去完成时的时候,so that和in order that后面可以跟should,could,might或would。
I’ve arrived early so that/ in order that I may/ can /will get the tickets.
I arrivd early so that/in order that I might not miss anything.
当前后主语不一致时,不定式前面加for +名词/代词比that结构更简洁,不定式的逻辑主语for sb. to do sth.
He was barking for someone to let him out.
=He was barking so that someone would let him out.
