He could find other ways to solve the problem. For example,he could build a road. That is better and faster than moving a mountain. The teacher thinks there are many sides to a story and many ways to understand it.
Step 6 Cooperative inquiry
Students work in groups to discuss the language points.
1. work on 意为“忙于”。
The boy was working on making a model ship.
这个男孩一直忙于制作一个轮船模型。
2. remind
(1)作及物动词,意为“提醒;使想起”,后跟名词或代词作宾语。remind sb. + that 从句/what 从句,意为“提醒某人……”或“使某人想起……”。
My father reminds me that the final exam is coming.
爸爸提醒我期末考试就要到了。
(2)remind常与介词of或about连用,remind sb. of/ about sth. 意为“使某人想起某事;提醒某人某事”。
I want to remind you of our promise.
我想提醒你我们的诺言。
(3)remind后跟不定式作宾语补足语。remind sb. to do sth. 意为“提醒某人做某事”。
Remind her to come earlier tomorrow morning.
提醒她明天上午早点儿来。
3. a little bit意为“有点儿;稍微”,修饰形容词。
The weather is a little bit cold. 天气有点儿冷。
辨析:a bit与a little
(1)a bit和a little在肯定句中修饰形容词、副词时可以互换,表示“有点儿”的意思。
These trousers are a bit/little tight. 这条裤子有点儿紧。
(2)a bit和a little在否定句中的意思恰恰相反,not a bit相当于not at all(一点儿都不);not a little相当于very(much)或extremely(很,非常)。
She is not a bit tired. (= She is not tired at all. )
她一点儿都不累。
(3)a little可以直接作定语修饰名词,而a bit则要在后面加of构成短语才能作定语,两者都只能修饰不可数名词。
There is a little/a bit of food left for lunch.
午饭只能吃剩下的一点儿食物了。
(4)a bit of在意思上等同于bits of。
Besides this,he used an old army wireless set,and some bits of wood. 除此之外,他还利用了一部旧的军用无线电发报机和一些木片。
4. 辨析:instead of与instead
instead of “代替”,后面常跟名词、代词或动词的-ing形式 You can ask Lily instead of Lucy. 你可以让莉莉代替露西。
instead “代替”,作副词,修饰整个句子,位于句首或句末 We don’t have any apples. We can use some oranges instead. 我们没有苹果了。我们可以用一些橘子来代替。
5. neither of意为“两者都不”,作主语时,谓语动词常用单数,但在口语中也可用复数。
Neither of you could help me. 你俩谁也帮不了我。
Step 7 Summary

当堂达标(见导学案“当堂达标”)
答案与解析:
Ⅰ. 1. instead 答句意为“有很长的一段路要走,我们最好乘地铁而不要步行去那里”,instead of意为“代替,而不是”。
2. remind 根据“childhood(童年)”可推知,句意为 “这首歌让我想起了我的童年”。remind意为“提醒;使想起”,make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”,故填动词原形remind。
3. shot 句意为“据说后羿射下了九个太阳”,从句意上判断从句为一般过去时,故填shot。
4. silly 句意:刚开始这个人认为愚公是愚蠢的。silly 形容词,意为“愚蠢的”,符合句意,故填silly。
5. weak 根据too...to... 结构可推知,句意为“他太虚弱了而不能动,不能想,不能说”。weak意为“虚弱的”,符合句意,故填weak。
Ⅱ. 1. D try to do sth.意为“努力去做某事;试图去做某事”;try doing sth.意为“试着做某事”。根据句意“从前,一位老人试图把山移走”可知应选D。
2. A remind sb. of sth.意为“使某人想起某物”。句 意:这个故事让他想起了过去的日子。
3. C a bit后接形容词或副词;a little of与其后名词为所属关系;a bit of后接不可数名词;a few后接可数名词复数形式。tea为不可数名词,故选C。
4. A 在含有as soon as引导的时间状语从句的主从复合句中,若主句为一般将来时,从句则要用一般现在时表示将来,故选A。
5. C instead“代替”是副词,可位于句首或句末;instead of“代替”,是介词短语,其后可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。空格后的dumplings是名词,故选C。句意:你要吃面条而不吃饺子吗?
Ⅲ. 1. shot 两个并列分句的时态应该保持一致,由missed可知,此处应填shoot的过去式shot。
2. to open try to do sth. 是固定用法,意为“努力做 某事”。
3. to do continue to do sth. 是固定用法,意为“继续做某事”。
4. swimming of为介词,其后应跟动词的-ing形式作宾语。
5. finishes 本句为含有as soon as引导的时间状语从句的主从复合句。若主句为一般将来时,as soon as引导的时间状语从句应用一般现在时表示将来。
Ⅳ. 1. reminded me that 2. Neither of 3. keep trying
4. a little bit 5. won’t,unless,help
