课堂导学:
1. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong. 有一天它将会变得和香港一样繁忙。
busy 形容词,意为“繁忙的,忙的”,其反义词为free。例如:My father is a teacher and he is busy all the time.我父亲是一名老师,他总是很忙。
【拓展】:
be busy with sth. 意为“忙于某事”,可以与be busy doing sth. 互换。
例如:He is busy with his homework. = He is busy doing his homework.他正忙着做作业。
【中考链接】
( ) (淄博中考) –Where is Mary
–She’s busy________ for the exam.
A. study B. studies C. studying D. to study
2. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too.它的街道也会更宽更清洁。
【辨析】
too, also, either和as well,四个词都表示“也”,但用法不同。
(1)too用于肯定句的句尾,和前面的句子通常用逗号隔开,多用于口语。例如:
I have finished my homework, too.我也完成作业了。
(2)also用于肯定句,它通常放在句中,用在系动词、助动词或情态动词之后,实义动词之前,是比较正式的用语。例如:
I am also a student.我也是一名学生。
I have also finished my homework.我也完成作业了。
(3) as well用法和 too一样,通常位于句末,但它前面通常不用逗号, 多用于口语。
例如:
I have finished my homework as well.
I know Japanese as well.我也懂日语。
(4) either表示“也”时一般只用于否定句,且只置于句末。例如:
I don't know him.Tom doesn't know him,either.我不认识他,汤姆也不认识他。
If you don't go there,he won't go there,either.如果你不去那儿,他也不去那儿。
总之,too是肯定句中的“也”,either则是否定句中的“也”, 放的位置都在句子末;also则是放在句中的“也”;as well是放在句末的“也”。
【典例】:
用too,also,either或as well填空:
(1). I'll go to see the film,________.
(2). If you don't come here,I shouldn't,_______ .
(3). Jack can speak Chinese,and his brother can ________speak Chinese.
(4). He knows Chinese__________.
3. What’s the population of Shenzhen 深圳的人口是多少?
询问人口的数量应该用“What’s the population of+地点?”
【拓展】
(1) population是集合名词,没有复数形式。当它作主语表示整体概念时,其后的谓语动词用单数形式。例如: The population of our hometown is nearly 2 million.= Our hometown has a population of nearly 2 million. = There is a population of near 2 million in our hometown. 我们家乡的人口大约是2百万。
(2) 表示人口的多或少要用large或small。例如:The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Tianjin. 上海的人口要比天津的多。
