Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

Fill the blanks
I)Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.
passed/past
当pass用作动词和past用作介词时,它们都有“过去”和“经过”的意思.
pass(动词)He passed my house this morning.
past(介词、名词、形容词和副词)
He walked past my house this morning.
be able to与can的区别
be able to 强调特定的,具体的能力,不仅强调了某种能力,实际做到了或可能做到;
can表示总的能力和客观存在的能力。
He could walk forty miles a day in the past.(能做到,但实际不一定做。)
He was able to walk forty miles a day last year. (能做到,他实际做了。)
what happened to sb. 某人发生了什么
what had happened to sb. 是它的过去完成时态
II) One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
set out = set off = begin a journey 出发
set out from… 从……出发
set up 建立
be caught in
be caught in+灾难 (突然)遇到/上(风暴等)
He was caught in a rain when he left.
遇上人用 meet
遇上灾难用be caught in…
Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.
towards evening 天将黑的时候;天越来越晚
spend money on sth 在某物上花费
spend time (in )doing sth 在某事上花费时间
strike强调的往往是猛烈的撞击
“to”强调朝那个方向去, 但没有强调越来越近;“towards”朝那个方向去,强调距离越来越近
During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.
cover可笼统地表示“行过(一段路程)”,根据上下文可具体译为“走过、飞过、游过”等。
eg. By sunset, we had covered 30 miles.
a distance of+具体长度 多长的距离,表示具体的距离
the red army covered a distance of 25000…
a light ahead 前方的一盏灯(ahead 放在被修饰词的后面)
ahead of time =in advance提前
On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
on +V-ing相当于一个由as soon as=the moment或when引导的时间状语从句,as soon as=the moment后面要加句子.
on 后面一定要加动词ing, 承认动词是由主句主语做的
eg.on arriving home,it began to rain.(错误)两个不同的主语,不能用on+动名词
up the cliff towards the用两个介词起到动词的作用,up在此处为介词,表示“沿着……往上”
【key structures】
表示方向和目的地的介词和副词
① 表示“上、下”的两对小品词是on和off,up和down
Jim’s standing on the roof. I hope he won’t fall off.
Tom’s climbing up the tree. I hope he won’t fall down.
② 表示“来、去”的一对小品词是from和to/towards;for在有些动词后面也表示“往,向”的意思
He went for home.
leave for… 动身到某地(强调离开,出发)
set out for… 动身到某地
head for/to 前往 (强调“去”)
③ 表示“进去,出来”这两种方向的介词为into(进、入)和out of(从...出来);
表示“在某个地方”或“在……里面/外面”可用at(含有一种瞄准的概念,方向性),in,out of等;表目的地或位置往往用at
aim at,fire at(瞄准开火),throw at,threw to the bank
④ 表示“穿过,越过,绕过”等动词时,往往用through,across,under,over,round等介词
How did you get over the wall
【Special difficulties】
Pass and Past
pass和past的区别主要是词义上的区别,pass是动词,其过去式为passed,过去分词是passed或past。当作及物动词用时,可表示“经过,通过(考试),超过”等,作不及物动词用时可表示“(时间等)消逝”。
I’ve passed/past my French test.
A month has passed/past since I left home.
past可以作形容词、介词、名词等,作形容词时表示“以前的,过去的”等;作介词时表示“经过,超出范围等)”;作名词时表示“过去,昔时,往事”等。
Frank is proud of his past experience.
I go past the garden.
Can you tell me something about your past
Next and Other
next表示时间顺序上“紧接的,下一个”,如果以现在为基准,则next前一般不加the;如果以过去或将来的某一时间为基准,则next前面要加the或其他修饰词。
next day 第二天
the other day =a few days ago (几天前),
the other day 出现一定是过去时;next day有可能是过去式, 有可能是将来式
