牛津上海版英语八年级第二学期U4重点知识点整理及练习
一、知识点整理
1. We held a meeting after school. 放学后我们召开了一次会议。
hold a meeting的意思是“召开会议”,与have a meeting 意思相近,但是hold a meeting更强调“召开,发起”。另外,我们也可以用被动语态be held来表示“被举行”,相当于take place。如:The birthday party will be held next Friday evening. = The birthday party will take place next Friday evening. 这个生日聚会将在下周五晚举行。
2. Tony suggested that we should choose Joyce, because she has experience. 托尼建议我们选择乔伊斯,因为她有经验。
(1) suggest的意思是“建议”,用情态动词would + suggest可以表示委婉的语气。另外,suggest表示“建议”时,其宾语从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气,形式是“should + 动词原形”,should可以省略。如:We suggested that he (should) go and make an apology to his teacher. 我们建议他去向老师道歉。
(2) experience是名词,有两种情况:表示“经验”时,为不可数名词,有抽象意义;而表示“经历”时,为可数名词,指具体的某一次或几次。如:Have you got any experience 你有工作经验吗?Please tell us about your experiences in Africa. 请跟我们谈谈你在非洲的经历。
3. Then k charge of the meeting. 然后,乔伊斯主持会议。
句中take charge of的意思是“主管,负责”,相当于be in charge of。另外要注意:be in the charge of的意思是“在……的管理下”。如:
A new teacher will take charge of the class. 一位新教师将要接管这个班级。
The bus was in the charge of the driver. 这辆公共汽车由这位司机管理。
4. She said that we ought to elect a secretary next. 她说接下来我们应该选举一名秘书。
ought to表示“应当,应该”,是提建议型情态动词,常用来劝告别人去做某事,没有人称和数的变化。其否定式为 ought not to do 或 oughtn’t to do,一般疑问句将ought 提到句首。如: You oughtn’t to have stopped on the motorway. 你不该在快车道上停车。
5. Joyce told them to talk it over among themselves. 乔伊斯告诉他们自己讨论一下这件事情。
(1) tell是动词,意为“告诉”,tell sb. to do sth. 表示“叫某人做某事”,与ask sb. to do sth.意思相近。如果要表示否定含义,则用tell sb. not to do sth.或ask sb. not to do sth.,意为“叫某人不要做某事”。如: What did I tell you not to do 我叫你不要去做什么?
I’ll ask them to be quiet. 我会让他们安静些。
(2) talk over在句中意为“讨论”,相当于discuss,我们可以用talk over sth. with sb.来表示“和某人讨论某事”。如:
I have an important matter to talk over with you. 我有一件重要的事要和你商量。
6. Pansy asked whether we could call it the Mayfield Sun. 潘西问我们是否可以给它取名为Mayfield Sun。
(1) 本句中whether we could call it the Mayfield Sun在动词ask后面,作宾语从句。我们要注意宾语从句中的引导词,如果从句是陈述句,引导词用that (在口语或非正式文体中常省略);如果从句是一般疑问句,引导词用if / whether,意为“是否”;如果从句是特殊疑问句,引导词用特殊疑问词。如:
He told me that he would go to college the next year. 他告诉我他明年要去上大学。
Nobody knew whether / if he could pass the exam. 没人知道他是否会通过考试。
The book will show you what the best CEOs should know. 这本书会告诉你最好的执行总裁应该了解些什么。
(2) 虽然if和whether都可以用于宾语从句,意为“是否”,但是whether引导的从句可以与or not连用,而if不能。如:
The point is whether we should recommend him or not. 问题是我们应否推荐他。
7. Joyce said that we should think about this a bit longer. 乔伊斯说我们应该考虑得久一点。
在句中,a bit用来修饰后面的比较级longer,表示“一点”,相当于a little。修饰比较级的词还有:even, still, much, far等。如:
We will be a much better football team next year. 明年我们将会成为一支更好的足球队。
8. We arranged to have the next meeting in one week’s time. 我们将下一次会议安排在一周以后。
在表示所有格时,单数名词和词尾不带s的复数名词都直接加’s,如遇到词尾带s的复数名词只加’。 如:ten minutes’ walk 步行十分钟的路程
