◇句式解读
1．(P3)After all，as you know，I love to dance!
【翻译】毕竟，正如你知道的，我喜欢跳舞！
【考点提炼】as you know 是as 引导的非限制性定语从句。as 用作关系代词代替整个主句， as 意为“正如，正像”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)as引导的从句位置较灵活，可以位于主句前面、中间或后面，一般用逗号与主句隔开。常用的表达有：
as is known to all 众所周知
as is reported 正如报道的那样
as is often the case 情况常常如此
as often happens 这种情况常常发生
as is expected 正如所预料的
(2)which 引导非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句时，只能位于主句之后，不能放在句首。

2．(P3)It’ll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes.
【翻译】穿着那双鞋长时间行走或跳舞太累了。
【考点提炼】该句子用it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式结构“to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)It is clear /obvious /certain /possible /important /necessary/ true…句型中，it作为形式主语，后面的主语可以是不定式结构，也可以是that从句。中间的形容词也可以是名词，比如a habit, a rule, an honour等。
此外，在句型It is adj. ＋of/for sb…中，如果形容词描述的是sb的品质、品格，在逻辑上可以作sb的表语，则sb前应用介词of，否则就用for。
(2)It is no use/no good/useless/a waste of…后常接动名词作真正的主语。
It is not right to use these places as rubbish dumps.
把这些地方用来倒垃圾是不对的。

语 音 时 空
□音的同化
音的同化是英语发音中的一个重要现象。 语流中两个邻近的不同的音， 其中一个受到另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近， 这种现象叫作音的同化。大致可分为以下三类：
1．因唇形的影响而发生的同化：
/n/，/d/，/t/在双唇音/m/，/b/，/p/前面被同化， 如ten pairs, get me, that boy。
2．因声带的影响而发生的同化：
(1)浊辅音可变为清辅音。例如：of course。
(2)清辅音可变为浊辅音。例如：like that。
3．因发音部位的影响而发生的同化：
本音 同化音 举例
/s/＋/ / / / this shop; nice shoes
/z/＋/ / / / those sheep; Has she come
/t/＋/j/ /t / situation; natural; next year
/d/＋/j/ /d / graduate; Would you like it
/s/＋/j/ / / assure; Don’t miss your train.
/z/＋/j/ / / as usual; as you know

□动词-ing形式(1)
——动词-ing形式作定语和表语
一、动词-ing形式的定义
动词-ing形式由“动词原形＋-ing” 构成。动词-ing形式可在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语或状语， 但不能单独作谓语。
二、动词-ing形式作定语
动词-ing形式作定语时，分为动名词作定语和现在分词作定语两种。
1．动名词(短语)作定语
动名词(短语)作定语时表示被修饰词的属性、作用或用途，表示“供……用”的意思，相当于介词 for 短语，常置于被修饰词前。
a swimming pool＝a pool for swimming 游泳池
a walking stick＝a stick for walking 拐杖
2．现在分词(短语)作定语
现在分词作定语时，它和被修饰词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系，表示所修饰词正在进行的动作，相当于一个定语从句。
单个的现在分词作定语时，放在被修饰词前面；现在分词短语作定语时，则放在被修饰词后面。
The boy playing football on the playground is my younger brother.
＝The boy that/who is playing football on the playground is my younger brother.
在操场上踢足球的那个男孩是我的弟弟。
(1)现在分词(短语)的完成式“having done”一般只用来作状语，不作定语。
(2)过去分词、现在分词的被动式与不定式的被动式作定语的区别：
形式 用法 例子
现在分词的被动式作定语(being done) 表示被动且正在进行 The stadium being built now is the biggest one in our city. 现在正在建的这个体育馆是我们市最大的。
形式 用法 例子
过去分词作定语(done) 表示被动且已完成 The stadium built last year is the biggest one in our city. 去年建成的这个体育馆是我们市最大的。
不定式的被动式作定语(to be done) 表示被动且表示将来 The stadium to be built next year will be the biggest one in our city. 明年要建的这个体育馆将会是我们市最大的。
三、动词-ing形式作表语
作表语的动词-ing形式包括现在分词和动名词两种。
1．动名词(短语)作表语
(1)动名词(短语)作表语，表示抽象的一般性行为，用来说明主语的内容，与主语通常是同一概念，表语和主语常可互换位置。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
＝Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。
(2)动名词(短语)作表语与不定式(短语)作表语的区别：
形式 用法
动名词(短语)作表语 多表示抽象的一次性行为，用来说明主语的内容
不定式(短语)作表语 表示具体的动作，尤其表示将来的动作，主语常为plan，dream，purpose等
My next duty is looking after these children.
我的下一个任务是照顾这些孩子。
The main purpose of this activity is to let more people understand the importance of learning Chinese.
本次活动的主要目的是让更多的人了解学习汉语的重要性。
2．现在分词作表语
现在分词作表语，往往具有形容词的性质，说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的现在分词，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有moving, interesting, encouraging, exciting, boring, inspiring, surprising, puzzling, amusing, astonishing, 这类分词有“令人……的”的含义，常用于修饰物。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.
你的演讲很有趣而且振奋人心。
【拓展提升】
很多作表语的现在分词已经形容词化了，对应的还有它们的过去分词形式。如：
pleasing令人愉快的；pleased感到愉快的
puzzling令人费解的；puzzled感到费解的
satisfying令人满意的；satisfied感到满意的

【考点提炼】本句中as if＝as though，意为“仿佛，好像”，引导状语从句。也可放在be，look，seem，sound，smell，feel等系动词之后引导表语从句。
◇句式解读
【归纳拓展】
(1)as if引导状语从句时，如果从句表示一种假设的情况，从句谓语常用虚拟语气。
as if从句用虚拟语气时，从句中谓语动词用以下三种形式：
①一般过去式(与现在的事实相反)
②had＋过去分词(与过去的事实相反)
③would/could/might＋动词原形(与将来的事实相反)
(2)当as if/though引导方式状语从句时，如果从句主语和主句主语一致，且其中又含有be动词的某种形式，可以用省略形式：as if/though＋不定式/分词/形容词(短语)/介词短语。
He talks as if he had been abroad.
他说起话来好像曾经出过国。
He acts as if (he was) a fool.
他做事像个傻子。

My Favourite Chinese Festival
There are various festivals in China, among which I like the Lantern Festival best.
The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the fifteenth of the first lunar month. It is one of the biggest holidays in China. Several days before the festival, people begin to make lanterns which are made in the shapes of animals, flowers and many other things.
On the evening of the Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up and people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on them.
The reason why I like it best is that I can enjoy wonderful folk performances and the Dragon Dance. Above all, everything is interesting and everyone can enjoy themselves on that day.(共15张PPT)

难度系数：★★
In many cultures，January 1st marks the beginning of a new year. But in the eyes of Chinese people，the traditional time of the new beginning is the Spring Festival.
Usually，the Chinese New Year celebration lasts for three weeks，starting from the 23rd day of the previous year’s 12th month of the lunar calendar until the 15th day of the New Year. ①Here are some centuries-old traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.
·Spring cleaning. Every family will clean the house one week ahead of the New Year. It is widely believed that a freshly cleaned house will bring good luck to people.
·Making decorations. People will make red papercuts, Chinese characters or red lanterns that mean luck, happiness and blessing, and stick them onto doors and windows.
·Setting off fireworks. In fairy tales，people managed to scare away a monster named Nian by setting off fireworks. In reality，the sound of fireworks can increase the festival atmosphere.
·Lucky money. Seniors give kids lucky money in red envelopes, in the hope of making their future much brighter.
·Eating dumplings. The shape of a dumpling looks somewhat like a kind of money that was used in ancient times. ②People believe the more dumplings you eat, the more wealth you will get during the new year.
traditional /tr 'd nl/ adj. 传统的； 惯例的
celebration / sel 'bre n/ n．庆祝
blessing /'bles / n．祝福； 赐福； 保佑； 恩典
monster /'m nst (r)/ n．怪物
○课标词汇
ahead of在……之前
set off点燃； (使)爆炸；出发；引起
scare away吓跑
in reality实际上； 事实上
in the hope of… 希望……
look somewhat like看起来有点像
○重要短语
①Here are some centuries-old traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.
分析：该句为简单句，“Here are some centuries-old traditions”为倒装句，“shared by the Chinese community”为过去分词短语作后置定语，“in order to…”为目的状语。
译文：为了祝福家人在新的一年里能够健康以及财源滚滚，这里是华人社区分享的一些有数百年历史的传统。
○句型精析
②People believe the more dumplings you eat, the more wealth you will get during the new year.
分析：该句为复合句，“People believe”后是省略了that的宾语从句，从句为“the more… the more…”结构。
译文：人们相信饺子吃得越多，在新的一年里就会得到越多的财富。
