Presentation
Ms. Liu: Yesterday I asked you to do some research on the history of the Olympics. Did anyone find out when the Olympics began
Wang Mei: Yes, I searched it on the Internet. The year was 776 BC. That was about 2 800 years ago.
Ms. Liu: Excellent! Did anyone find out where the ancient Olympics began
Li Ming: I know that! They started in Greece.
Ms. Liu: That’s right. The ancient Greeks wanted to have the best athletes compete against each other. They held the event every four years in Olympia.
Wang Mei: But those first Olympics were very different from today’s. Women couldn’t take part in the games.
Ms. Liu: Good point, Wang Mei. Married women couldn’t even watch the games!
Li Ming: Now both men and women can take part in the Olympics! I also found out that the modern Olympics began in 1896 and took place every four years. In 2008, China hosted the 29th Olympic Games. It was so exciting!
Wang Mei: The ancient Greeks would be amazed at how the Olympic Games have grown to become a world event!
Ms. Liu: One thing has not changed about the games—athletes compete in a spirit of fair play. They also represent their countries at the highest level.

Reading and Answering
Language points
1. Did anyone find out when the Olympics began?有人查到奥运会是从什么时候开始的吗?
find out 找出,查清楚。它多指通过调查、询问、研究之后搞清楚、弄明白,通常含有经过困难、曲折的经历最终弄清楚较难找到的、抽象的东西。
※ Can you find out when the flight will take off?
你能查出这次航班何时起飞吗?
find找到,发现。强调“找”的结果,其宾语往往是某件丢失的东西或某个人。
※ I can’t find my pen. Can I borrow yours
我找不到我的钢笔了。我能借一下你的吗
look for寻找。指有目的地寻找,强调“找”这个动作,结果如何不清楚。
※ The young couple are looking for their lost baby everywhere.
这对年轻的夫妇正在到处寻找他们丢失的孩子。
2. The ancient Greeks wanted to have the best athletes compete against each other. 古希腊人想让最优秀的运动员互相竞争。
(1) athlete n.运动员,为可数名词,其复数形式为athletes。
※ Which athlete is the champion?
哪位运动员是冠军?
(2) compete against 与……竞争;对抗。其后接对手,相当于compete with。
※ Our school football team competed against the team from Yuhua Middle School.
我们校足球队和来自育华中学的足球队进行了比赛。
3. They held the event every four years in Olympia.
※ every four years 每四年
every和基数词、序数词、other或few连用,表示时间或空间的间隔,意为“每……;每隔……”。
every +基数词+复数名词= every +序数词+单数名词
※ every few months 每几个月
※ He comes here every three days. =He comes here every third day.
他每三天来这儿一次。
4. Women couldn’t take part in the games.女子不能参加比赛。
辨析:take part in, join in与join
三者都有“参加,加入”之意,但有区别。
① take part in指参加某项活动、集会等并在其中发挥作用。
※ Last week I took part in the school sports meet.上周我参加了学校运动会。
② join in表示参加某项运动、比赛等,多指正在进行的活动。
※ May I join in the game?我可以参加这个游戏吗?
③ join指加入到某一组织、团体中并成为其中的一员。
※ When did you join the Party?你什么时候入的党?
5. Married women couldn’t even watch the games!已婚女子甚至不能观看比赛!
married adj. 已婚的。be married已婚(表状态),可与表示一段时间的状语连用。be / get married to... 与……结婚。
※ He has been married for two years.
他已结婚两年了。
拓展:marry是married的动词形式,表示“嫁;娶”,后面直接跟宾语。
※ She wants to marry a rich man.
她想嫁个有钱人。
marry是短暂性动词,不能与一段时间连用,若与时间段连用,需用be married替代。
※ My parents have been married for forty years.
我的父母已经结婚40年了。
6. Now both men and women can take part in the Olympics!
take part in参加,part前通常不用冠词,但是如果part前有形容词修饰,要加不定冠词。
※ He doesn’t take an active part in many school activities.
他不积极参加许多的学校活动。
辨析:take part in,join与join in
① take part in指主动参加会议或群众性活动等,并在活动中发挥作用。
② join指加入某个团体、组织或某个人群中,并成为其成员之一。
③ join in多指参加小规模的活动,如球赛、游戏等,常用于日常口语,可以和take part in互换。
7. I also found out that the modern Olympics began in 1896 and took place every four years. 我还查到现代奥运会始于1896年,每四年举办一次。
(1)辨析:take place与happen
take place举办,发生。常指(某事)按计划进行或发生。
happen:①发生。指某事偶然发生或未能预见的事情发生。②碰巧,恰好。固定搭配:happen to do sth. 碰巧做某事。
※ Our school sports meet takes place every year.
我们学校的运动会每年举办一次。
※ An accident happened just now.
刚才发生了一起事故。
(2) every four years每四年(一次)。every意为“每一”,“every+基数词+单位名词”表示“每……一次”,表示频率,因此用how often对其进行提问。在此结构中,数词通常是大于一的数,单位名词用复数。
※ Mr. Zhao goes to Shenzhen every three years.
赵先生每三年去深圳一次。
8. In 2008,China hosted the 29th Olympic Games. 在2008年,中国主办了第29届奥运会。
host v. 主办;主持(活动)
※ Which country is going to host the next World Cup?
哪个国家将举办下一届世界杯?
9. The ancient Greeks would be amazed at how the Olympic Games have grown to become a world event!
be amazed at… 惊讶于……,相当于be surprised at...

他对这条新闻感到很惊讶。
※ We were amazed to hear the news.
听到这条新闻,我们感到很惊讶。
10. One thing has not changed about the games—athletes compete in a spirit of fair play.
spirit n. 精神;心灵
spirit作“精神;心灵”讲时,既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词。
※ Fang Junming, from Hubei, showed the spirit of sacrifice.
来自湖北的方俊明表现出了牺牲精神。

※ Are there such things as spirits
有灵魂这样的东西吗
spirit作“情绪”讲时,多用复数形式。
