Work in a group of 8 to deal with the key words, phrase and sentences.
1. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres.
square kilometre意为“平方公里”。
kilometre是名词，意为“千米；公里”，是长度单位，其前与a连用表示一
段路程，也可以表示一个长度单位。
2. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks.
①famous是形容词，意为“有名的，著名的”。
[辨析] be famous for与be famous as的用法区别
A. be famous for“因……而著名”，其中for后的介词宾语是主语的所属内容。
B. be famous as“作为……(身份)而著名”，as后的介词宾语是主语的同位成分。
②shape名词，意为“外形；形状”。
基本意思是指物品的“外形，形状，样子”，既可用作可数名词，也可用作
不可数名词。

3. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.
human是可数名词，指包括男人、女人、孩子的“人；人类”；指有别于动
物、自然景物、机器等的特殊群体，也可指具体的“人”。
[提醒] human的复数是humans，而不是humen。human泛指人类，谓语动词
用复数。
4. It woke everybody up.
wake sb. up意为“唤醒某人”。但 wake up是“醒来”的意思。
[提醒] wake up中的up是副词，所以代词作宾语时要放在本词组的中间。

5. We thought somebody was moving about.
句子结构：本句是由that引导的宾语从句，that作为引导词可以省略，本句就
是这种省略情况。句中We thought为主句，后面省略了引导词that，somebody
was moving about作动词thought的宾语从句。
somebody是代词，意为“某人；有人”。作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单
数形式；在反意疑问句中，当陈述部分的主语是somebody时，在非正式语体
中附加疑问句的主语往往用they。
