1．倍数表达法
(教材P2)In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size．

[句式分析] 句中“twice its normal size”为倍数表达法。
This newly-built hospital is four times as big as that one．
这家新建的医院是那家医院的四倍大。
倍数表达法：
(1)倍数＋as＋形容词/副词原级＋as．．．
(2)倍数＋形容词/副词的比较级＋than．．．
(3)倍数＋the size/height/weight/length/width/depth/．．．＋of．．．
(4)倍数＋what从句
[名师点津] (1)对于这几种倍数表达法，我们需要注意倍数的位置；倍数部分也可用分数、百分数代替。
(2)表示两倍时，我们常用twice或double；三倍及三倍以上常用“基数词＋times”表示。
[即学即练] 单句语法填空/一句多译

2．强调句
(教材P2)Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury，it's my job to make her feel better．
尽管为她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士，但让她的心情变好则是我的工作。
[句式分析] 该句中的“it's ．．．who．．．”是强调句型，强调的是从句的主语“the doctors and nurses”。本句的非强调句式是“Although the doctors and nurses will treat her injury，it's my job to make her feel better．”。
It is the young doctor who/that is examining her eyes．
是那个年轻的医生正在检查她的眼睛。
(1)强调句的基本句型：It is/was＋被强调部分(主语/宾语/状语)＋that/who＋句子其他成分。
(2)强调句的一般疑问句：Is/Was it＋被强调部分(主语/宾语/状语)＋that/who＋句子其他成分？
(3)强调句的特殊疑问句：疑问词＋is/was＋it＋that＋句子其他成分？
(4)not．．．until．．．结构的强调句型：It is/was not until．．．that＋句子其他成分。
[名师点津] 强调句与定语从句的区别：
(1)强调句的特点：去掉it is/was和that/who后，句子结构仍然完整，且意义清楚。
(2)时间、地点状语前是否有介词是判断这两种句式的关键。
It was in the shop that I met an old friend of mine．(强调句型)
It was the shop where I met an old friend of mine．(定语从句)
[即学即练] 单句语法填空/完成句子/句型转换

What was it that made his parents so happy
⑤He didn't go to bed until his son came back from work last night．
→It was not until his son came back from work that he went to bed last night．
3．keep＋宾语＋宾语补足语
(教材P4)We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses，who keep us updated on each patient．
所以我们必须非常善解人意，并且与医护人员密切合作，他们会为我们提供每个病人的最新情况。
[句式分析] 句中的“keep us updated”为“keep＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，意为“使……继续处于某种状态”，keep为使役动词。
Today is so cold．Please keep the door closed．
今天太冷了。请关上门。
(1)keep＋宾语＋名词/形容词/副词/介词短语
(2)keep＋宾语＋动词-ing形式(与宾语构成主谓关系)
(3)keep＋宾语＋过去分词(与宾语构成动宾关系)

It is 7 am on a gray Thursday，and I am on the telephone to a group of strangers struggling with excited laughter．There must be 20 of them—men and women, young and old—laughing．These people have never met, nor do they know each other's names．Yet for 10 minutes, five mornings a week, they simply pick up the phone and laugh．
This is the “laughter line” part of the growing industry in laughter treatment，Britain's latest and most unusual treatment．The simple act of laughing is increasingly being used as a method for dealing with mental and physical disorders．Since it was founded in 2004, the UK Laughter Network has increased ten times, training 8，000 people to use laughter to improve their health．
So how does it work It reduces stress．A Maryland study found that it expands the inner lining of our blood vessels (血管) and so improves circulation．“Your immune system is strengthened by up to 40 percent，”explains laughter therapist Julie Whitehead，whose work includes training those who work at Great Ormond Street Hospital．Laughter has also been shown to lower blood pressure and improve mental function．
But Lotte Mikkelson, 45, founder of the laughter line，warns that it's important to see it as a method of treatment—not a cure．“In 2008, I was diagnosed (诊断) with an incurable disease，” she explains．“My sister died at the age of 32 from it, so I know what could happen．Since I started laughing，I haven't had any worsening and my health is great．I'd never say laughter is a cure—but it can help．”

A．By training them to use laughter．
B．By providing them with free medicine．

If you're in a bad mood, you may feel as if you'll never get out of it．Fortunately, your thoughts have a lot of control over your mood．In fact, they have so much power over your mood that they can even affect the way you physically feel． 1
Change what you're doing．If you're unhappy because you feel bored, try doing something different． 2 For instance, if you've been in back-to-back meetings throughout your day with no free time, treat yourself to a funny movie at the end of your day．Changing what you're doing can work wonders on your mood．
3 If you think your unhappy mood is stress related, get outside to reduce stress and lift your mood．Try going for a walk in the park or visiting a garden．Being outside can greatly improve your mood．
Exercise．Go for a workout, play one of your favorite sports or activities, or just be more active in your daily routine．Studies have shown that exercising improves mood by signaling your body to release “feel-good” chemicals into your brain． 4
Do something that makes you smile．Studies have shown that smiling can improve your mood even if you're in a bad mood to begin with．Even if you don't feel like smiling, just reminding yourself of the act of smiling can cheer you up．

A．Go outside．

(2)倍数＋形容词/副词的比较级＋than...
(3)倍数＋the size/height/weight/length/width/depth/...＋of...
(4)倍数＋what从句

[句式分析] 该句中的“it's ...who...”是强调句型，强调的是从句的主语“the doctors and nurses”。本句的非强调句式是“Although the doctors and nurses will treat her injury，it's my job to make her feel better．”。
2．强调句
(教材P2)Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury，it's my job to make her feel better．
尽管为她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士，但让她的心情变好则是我的工作。
It is the young doctor who/that is examining her eyes．
是那个年轻的医生正在检查她的眼睛。
(1)强调句的基本句型：It is/was＋被强调部分(主语/宾语/状语)＋that/who＋句子其他成分。
(2)强调句的一般疑问句：Is/Was it＋被强调部分(主语/宾语/状语)＋that/who＋句子其他成分？
(3)强调句的特殊疑问句：疑问词＋is/was＋it＋that＋句子其他成分？
(4)not...until...结构的强调句型：It is/was not until...that＋句子其他成分。
[名师点津] 强调句与定语从句的区别：
(1)强调句的特点：去掉it is/was和that/who后，句子结构仍然完整，且意义清楚。
(2)时间、地点状语前是否有介词是判断这两种句式的关键。
