第三版块:典型句式
1.疑问词+do you think+陈述语序?
(教材P111)Susan, what characteristics do you think inventors have
苏珊,你认为发明家有什么特点?
[句式分析] 这一句型又称复杂疑问句,常用来征询别人对某一观点的看法、判断、认识和猜测等,表疑问的插入语又起到主句的作用,所以其后一定要用陈述语序,可用于此结构的还有do you believe/say/suggest/suppose/guess/consider/imagine等。
Who do you think is to blame for the accident
你认为谁该为这次事故负责?
What did you say that doctor's name was?你说那个医生叫什么名字来着?
学法点拨:
(1)检查这种特殊疑问的方法是把表疑问的插入语移到句首,看看这个特殊疑问词是否引导了一个宾语从句,并且宾语从句用陈述句语序。
(2)观察下列的典型例句:
When do you suppose they will be back?你认为他们何时回来?
How do you imagine he will come here By bus?你认为他如何来这儿?乘公交吗?
How long do you believe they will stay here?你认为他们会在这儿待多久?

2.不定式主动形式表达被动意义
(教材P111)The biggest advantage is that it is easy to use.最大的优点是易于使用。
[句式分析]
(1)从句主语it是不定式(to use)的逻辑宾语。
(2)这个结构中常用表特征或性质的形容词difficult, hard, easy, comfortable, pleasant,interesting,exciting等。句子的主语与不定式之间是被动关系,形容词表示主语的特征或性质,用不定式的主动形式表被动意义。
This machine is very easy to operate.这机器很容易操作。

If you had to choose the single most important discovery of the 20th century, you would have a real problem on your hands.【1】In just 100 years, the world has changed completely. Amazing discoveries were made in medicine, communications and transport, not to mention[1] our knowledge of the world and space. Medical advances ranged from discovering the causes of diseases under microscopes[2] to staging[3] operations to replace diseased organs with donated[4] munications changed with the introduction of mobile phones, and the way we correspond[5] went from writing letters to emailing and sending instant[6] messages.【2】We started flying around the world, launching[7]satellites[8] into orbit[9] and, at the same time, scientists figured out how to split[10] the atom, previously[11] thought to be the smallest particle[12] of matter in the universe.【3】
【1】虚拟条件句,与现在事实相反的假设。主句谓语用“would+动词原形”,从句谓语用did或were。
【2】and连接两个并列分句,在第二个分句中, we correspond是定语从句,修饰先行词the way,引导词that/in which习惯省略。
【3】and连接两个并列分句。launching...是现在分词短语作状语; how to split the atom是“疑问词+不定式”结构,作figured out的宾语; previously thought to be...作后置定语。
Although it is impossible to choose the most important discovery, it is possible to single out[13] a few pioneers of the 20th century.【4】 Here are some of them.
【4】本句包含着Although引导的让步状语从句。主从句结构一致,it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。
One of the 20th century's premier[14] scientists was Albert Einstein. In the summer of 1905, this outspoken[15] young man was rocking[16] his one-year-old baby when he was suddenly inspired.【5】 Subsequently[17],“E=mc2”was born. It showed how a small piece of mass[18] could produce an unbelievable[19] amount of energy. Einstein then showed in his “theory of relativity[20]” that not even time, mass or length are constant[21] — they change according to our experience of them.
【5】本句中含有be doing... when...结构,意为“正在……,这时……”。
In 1928, another important finding[22] was made by biologist[23] Alexander Fleming. Before he went on holiday, Fleming left a dish of bacteria[24] in his laboratory. When he came back, he noticed something strange. He double-checked[25] and saw a blue mould[26] in the dish around which the bacteria had been destroyed.【6】 This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin[27], which Fleming perceived[28] could be used to kill bacteria.【7】 A few years later, penicillin was being mass-produced[29] and helping to save the lives of millions[30]. Fleming remained humble[31] about the amazing outcome[32] of his discovery. “Nature made penicillin,” he said, “I just found it.”
【6】本句的主句是He double-checked and saw a blue mould in the dish; around which the bacteria had been destroyed是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a blue mould。
【7】which引导非限制性定语从句,Fleming perceived为插入语,关系词which在从句中作主语。
During World War Ⅱ, when Fleming's discovery was first helping to cure[33] people, the US Navy[34] was looking for ways of improving the accuracy[35] of their missiles[36]. The navy turned to[37] Eckert, an engineer, and Mauchly, a physicist[38], to deal with the problem and produce a machine to do the job in a joint[39] effort. Although they only finished after the war in 1946, it did not matter. This huge machine was the world's first computer, but it was nothing like[40] our computers today. It measured[41] 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30,000 kilograms. With 18,000 tubes[42], thousands of circuits[43] and 6,000 switches[44], it used so much energy that when it was turned on, the lights in the local town went out!【8】
【8】本句中包含着so... that...结构,that引导结果状语从句,在这个从句中,when it was turned on是时间状语从句。
With the development of computers, people expected to get more things done efficiently[45].【9】 During the Cold War, a “huge network” of computers was proposed[46] by two American scientists. With computers talking to one another, it would enable[47] government leaders to communicate with each other.【10】 By the end of the 1960s, some mini-networks[48] were established[49], but only a few computers could connect[50] to them. In 1990.Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, which enabled computers all over the world to communicate with each other.【11】 Nowadays, life without the Internet for most people is unimaginable[51].
【9】本句中get more things done是get的复合结构。
【10】With computers talking to one another是with复合结构,现在分词短语talking to one another作宾补。
【11】which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the World Wide Web。
These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicated to[52] improving the quality[53] of human life on Earth. Human life on this planet has been transformed[54] into a “global village”, with all the different countries linked in the chain of common interests[55].【12】 There is no doubt[56] about it. Without the breakthroughs of these pioneers in science and technology, whether lucky or planned, the world as we know it today would be a completely different place.【13】
【12】本句中with all the different countries linked in the chain of common interests是with复合结构。
【13】本句用without短语表示含蓄虚拟条件句。
如果你必须在20世纪的重大发现中选出最重要的一项,这可不是件容易的事。在仅仅100年中,世界就完全变样了。医学、通信和交通方面都有惊人的发现,更别提我们对世界和太空的认识了。医学上的进步范围很广,从利用显微镜(microscope)揭示病因、施行手术,到用捐赠(donate)的器官置换病变的器官。移动电话的使用给通信业带来了改变,我们的通信(correspond)方式从写信到发电子邮件和发送即时(instant)信息。我们开始坐飞机周游世界,把人造卫星(satellite)发射(launch)至轨道(orbit)。同时,科学家们发现了如何分裂(split)原子,在此之前,原子被认为是宇宙中最小的物质微粒(particle)。
尽管不太可能选出哪项发现是最重要的,但是挑选出20世纪的几位先驱还是可能的。例如以下几位。
20世纪最杰出的(premier)一位科学家是爱因斯坦。1905年夏天,这个坦率的(outspoken)年轻人给他一岁的孩子晃动摇篮时,突然受到启发。随后(subsequently),“E=mc2”诞生了。它证明了一小块物质可以产生巨大的能量。爱因斯坦随后在他的“相对(relativity)论”中指出,即使是时间、质量或长度也不是恒定不变的(constant),它们根据我们对它们的感知而变化。
1928年,另一项重要的发现(finding)由生物学家(biologist)亚历山大·弗莱明发现了。在去度假之前,弗莱明在实验室里放了一个培养细菌的器皿。回来时,他注意到器皿里有点儿奇怪。经过仔细检查,他发现器皿里有一种蓝色的霉菌(mould),而霉菌周围的细菌已经被杀死了。这种蓝色的霉菌实际上是自然状态的青霉素(penicillin),弗莱明认为(perceive)它可以用来杀死细菌。数年后,青霉素开始大量生产,帮助挽救了数百万(million)人的生命。弗莱明对他这一发现的惊人结果(outcome)保持谦虚的(humble)态度,他说:“是大自然制造了青霉素,我只是发现了它。”
第二次世界大战期间,正当弗莱明的发现首次用来帮助治愈病人时,美国海军(navy)正在寻找提高导弹(missile)精准度(accuracy)的方法。海军求助于工程师埃克特和物理学家(physicist)莫克利来解决这一问题,两人共同(joint)努力制造一台机器来完成
这项工作。尽管机器在1946年战争结束后才制造出来,但仍产生了巨大影响。这台巨大的机器是世界上第一台计算机,但是与今天的计算机完全不同。它长100英尺,高10多英尺,重30 000多千克。它有18 000个阴极射线管(tube),数千条电路(circuit) 和6 000个开关,耗电量异常巨大,以至于当它启动的时候,当地所有的灯都熄灭了!
随着计算机的发展,人们期望能有效地(efficiently)完成更多的事情。冷战期间,两位美国科学家提出(propose)建立一个计算机的“庞大网络”。计算机能互换信息,可使政府领导人相互沟通。到20世纪60年代末,一些小型网络已经建立起来,但只有少数计算机可以接入。1990年,蒂姆·伯纳斯·李发明了万维网,使世界各地的计算机能够相互通信。如今,对大多数人来说,没有互联网的生活是难以想象的。
这些20世纪的先驱都致力于改善地球上人类的生活质量。不同国家因共同利益而连接起来,使得这个星球上人类的生活已经转变为“地球村”。这是毫无疑问的。如果没有这些先驱取得的科技突破,无论这些突破是偶然发现的还是计划之中的,我们今天所熟知的世界将是一个完全不同的地方。

On 14 March, 2018, one of the world's most influential[1] scientists, Stephen Hawking, died at his home in England, aged[2] 76.【1】 Hawking was famous, not just for his brilliant [3] work in theoretical[4] physics and cosmology[5], but also for overcoming[6] the challenges[7] of ALS (a disease that affects muscle control).【2】
【1】本句的主干是one of the world's most influential scientists died at his home in England。 Stephen Hawking是同位语,形容词短语aged 76作状语。
【2】not just...but also...也作not only...but also...,意为“不但……而且……”,连接并列成分,在本句中连接两个并列的原因状语。
Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January, 1942, in Oxford. He went to the University of Oxford to study physics in 1959. At the age of 21, when Hawking spent his first year at the University of Cambridge, physicians[8] discovered he had a rare, slow-progressing[9] form of ALS.【3】 He was only expected to live for a few years.
【3】本句的主干是physicians discovered he had a rare, slow-progressing form of ALS,介词短语At the age of 21是时间状语,when引导时间状语从句。
Hawking later found a job at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. In the early stages of his career, his illness got worse, but he was allowed to do research only rather than[10] teach, which was easier for him.【4】 In 1985, he had to have an operation. As a result, he lost his speech. Soon his doctors developed a piece of speech-generating equipment[11] that allowed him to speak.【5】 However, as his illness became worse, he lost the use of[12] his hands.【6】
【4】本句是but连接的并列句,在第二个分句中,which was easier for him是定语从句,关系词which在从句中作主语。
【5】本句中的that allowed him to speak是定语从句,修饰a piece of speech-generating equipment。
【6】本句中包含了一个as引导的时间状语从句,as意为“随着”。
Although Hawking's physical abilities declined[13] over decades, he never ceased[14] his studies and he developed a number of new ideas about black holes.【7】 Hawking believed that the birth of the universe (the “Big Bang”) created many small black holes. His theory was that there was a sort of[15] hole in the centre of a black hole.【8】 This hole led to[16] another universe, completely separate[17] from our own.
【7】Although引导让步状语从句,主句是由and连接的并列句。
【8】在本句中,that引导表语从句。
Hawking also wrote books. His 1988 book, ABriefHistoryofTime: FromtheBigBangtoBlackHoles, sold one copy[18] for every 750 people on Earth. However, many people could not really understand what he had written.【9】 Therefore, Hawking decided to write a simpler version[19],ABrieferHistoryofTime (2005).
【9】本句是一个复合句,what he had written是宾语从句,作understand的宾语。
In TheGrand[20]Design (2010, with Leonard Mlodinow), Hawking argued[21] that we should look for a different way to discover the deepest secrets of the universe. Instead of trying to find one big new explanation, scientists should put together all the ideas that they already have. 【10】
【10】在本句中,that they already have是定语从句,修饰all the ideas。介词短语Instead of trying to find one big new explanation作状语,也可置于句末。
At the opening of the London 2012 Olympics, Hawking said to a TV audience of 900 million people:“Look up[22] at the stars and not down at your feet...be curious.”
In spite of[23] his disease, Hawking didn't consider himself an unlucky man. He said it had not prevented him from[24] having a family, and being successful in his work. “My expectations were reduced[25] to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus[26].”And he believed this was because of the help he received from his family and a large number of people and organisations.【11】
【11】本句中believed后是宾语从句;because of the help作表语,he received from his family and a large number of people and organisations是定语从句,修饰the help。
2018年3月14日,世界上最有影响力的科学家之一,史蒂芬·霍金在英格兰的家中去世,享年76岁。霍金不仅因在理论(theoretical)物理学和宇宙学(cosmology)方面的杰出研究而著名,而且因克服(overcome)了肌萎缩侧索硬化症(一种影响肌肉控制的疾病)的挑战而令人敬佩。
1942年1月8日史蒂芬·霍金出生于牛津,1959年进入牛津大学学习物理学。21岁那年,也是霍金在剑桥大学的第一年,医生发现他患有一种罕见的慢性肌萎缩侧索硬化症,预言他只能再活几年。
后来霍金在剑桥天文研究所找了份工作。职业生涯刚一开始他的病情就转而恶化,研究所允许他可以只做研究而不用教学,这对他来说更容易。1985年,他不得不动手术,结果丧失了说话能力。很快,医生为他开发了一种发声设备使他能够说话。但是,他的病情继续恶化,手也动不了了。
尽管在过去几十年里霍金的身体机能不断下降(decline),但他从未停止过研究,并对黑洞有了许多新的想法。霍金认为宇宙诞生时(即宇宙大爆炸)创造了许多小黑洞,他的理论是在黑洞的中心还有一种洞,这种洞通向另一个宇宙,与我们的世界完全分隔。
霍金还写书。1988年出版的《时间简史:从大爆炸到黑洞》一书,地球上平均每750人便购买过一本。然而,许多人并不能真正理解他写的内容。因此,霍金决定写一个简化的版本,即《时间简史》(2005)。
在《大(grand)设计》(2010年出版,与莱昂纳德·蒙洛迪诺合著)一书中,霍金提出我们应该用一种不同的方式去发现宇宙最深处的秘密。与其说试图寻找一个全新的解释,科学家们不如把他们已经有的想法汇集起来。
2012年伦敦奥运会开幕式上,霍金对9亿电视观众说:“仰望星空,而不是俯视脚下……要保持好奇心。”
尽管(in spite of)霍金患有疾病,但他并不认为自己是个不幸的人。他说,这并没有阻碍他拥有家庭,也没有妨碍他在工作中取得成功。“21岁时,我的人生期望值降为零。从那以后,一切都是馈赠(bonus)。”他认为自己所取得的一切都源于家人和许多人与机构的帮助。

(2)形容词是一种主要用来描写或修饰名词或代词的词类,可以用来表示人或事物的性质、状态、特征或属性,常用作定语,也可作表语、补语或状语。
(3)形容词通常置于其修饰的名词之前,并且多数形容词有比较等级。
2.形容词的句法功能
(1)作定语(前置定语或后置定语)
He has worked as a teacher in a remote area since he graduated from college.他大学毕业后一直在偏远地区当老师。(remote作area的定语)
He is the happiest person alive.他是世上最快乐的人。(若语境需要,alive, alike, alone等表语形容词可用于名词后作后置定语)
Do you have anything important to tell me?你有什么重要的事情要告诉我吗?(形容词修饰复合不定代词,作后置定语)
That is the best book available.那是可用的书中最好的一本。(以-able或-ble结构尾的形容词可作前面有形容词最高级或the only等修饰的名词的后置定语)
This is a book suitable for children.这是一本适合孩子们的图书。(形容词短语作后置定语)
(2)作表语
His suggestions are very valuable.
他的建议很有价值。

他为自己对朋友所做的事感到羞愧。
(3)作宾语补足语
I consider his suggestion very valuable.

3.合成形容词的构成
(1)副词+分词,如:hard-working勤劳的
(2)名词+过去分词,如:man-made人造的
(3)名词+现在分词,如:time-consuming耗时的

strong—stronger—strongest

clever—cleverer/more clever—cleverest/most clever
(3)一些合成形容词的比较等级
good-looking—better-looking/more good-looking
