1. 情态动词的推测表达
2. 情态动词表达虚拟语气
3. 某些情态动词的特殊用法
知识重点与难点总结
知识重点:
情态动词在表达推测意义的句子中的运用:
(一)用情态动词表达事实的推测。can,could,might,may,must可以用来表达对事实的推测。根据说话人对事实的把握性大小,must表示“肯定…”,may / might / can / could表示“可能……”, must只用于肯定句中,may / might的否定式may not / might not表示 “可能不……”, 而can / could可以用于疑问句,表示“可能,可能……吗 ”,其否定式can’t / couldn’t 表示“不可能”。用情态动词可以对现在或过去的事实进行推测。对不同的时间内容推测有不同的结构。
(二)对现在的事实进行推测:
主要结构:…must / may / might +动词原形
be+名词/形容词/介词短语
be + doing
例句:
1. You must be Jeanne. I’m Mathilde Loisel. We used to know each other very well.
2. They must be in bed already at this time of the night.
3. The teacher must be joking.
4. Freda isn’t in class. She must be sick.
5. There must be something wrong.
6. She might be very clever, but she hasn’t got much common sense.
7. He may be arriving this evening.
8. He may be traveling around the world.
9. The keys can’t be in the room. I have just searched it very carefully.
10. Can the news be true
(三)对过去的事实进行推测:结构:情态动词+have done / been+名词/形容词/介词短语
例句:
1. Mrs. Longmans must have been a pretty girl in her youth.
2. He couldn’t have seen Anna yesterday. She’s gone abroad.
3. I think I must have left my glasses in the library.
4. He might have overslept again.
5. Where can Tom have gone
情态动词表达虚拟语气:表达“本来…”,“不然早就…”。这是情态动词的一种虚拟语气用法。表示说话人所讲的与所发生的事实相反。表达了说话人的埋怨,后悔的语气。其结构是在一些情态动词后面加 have done 结构。根据要表达的意思,有如下结构:
should have done / ought to have done:本应该……
shouldn’t have done / oughtn’t to have done:本不该……
could have done:本来可以……
needn’t have done:本来没必要……
would like to have done:本来很想……
would rather not have done: 本来不愿意……
could / might / have done: 不然早就……
例句:
1. You shouldn’t have laughed at his mistakes.
2. You could have told us earlier.
3. I ought to have bought that dictionary last week.
4. You ought not to have spent so much time in reading novels.
5. We need not have been in a tearing hurry to catch the train.
6. They would like to have seen that film last film.
7. If he had given me his number, I could have telephoned him.
8. They might have been frozen to death but for the rescue in time.
知识难点:
某些情态动词的特殊用法:
need 和dare 的两种形式的用法
need 和dare可以用做实义动词,后面接不定式(to do)结构,在疑问句和否定句中,加助动词do/does/did/或don’t/doesn’t/didn’t。作为情态动词使用时,主要用于疑问句和否定句中。情态动词needn’t(没有必要,不必)相当于don’t have to
例句:
1. It is cold, you need to wear some warm clothes.
2. Need I stay here with you for a while Thank you, you needn’t.
3. How dare you speak to parents like that
注意:
句型I dare say+从句。 意思是:我肯定…… = I’m sure或There is no doubt that+从句。
例句:
I dare say that my uncle will get the money if I die.
will和would
表示“意志”或“愿意”,would 则指过去愿意做……
例句:
1. He said that he would help us.
2. You may telephone if you will accept this job.
would可以表达“过去习惯做……”类似于“used to do”
例句:
1. When we were children, we would go swimming every summer in that river.
表示请求,固定的句型:Will/Would you please do… / Would you like to do…
例句:Will/Would you please give him a message when you see him
shall
1. 用于第一,三人称,表示“请求”;“建议” 或“推荐”
例句:
1. Shall we start the meeting now
2. Shall I watch TV now
3. Shall my son carry the case for you
2. 用于第二人称,表示“命令,“要求”,“许诺”
例句:
1. You shall take whatever you like.
2. You shall not go to the party with me if you make so much noise again.
在表示推测的否定句或疑问句中,常用can /can’t /could / couldn’t表示,意思是:“可能…吗 ”;“…不可能…”。而不能使用mustn’t或must等词。
【典型例题】
1. —Do you think he will do me a favor
—As far as I know, he is the last one to help others. He _____ be prepared to give you a hand, though.
A. might B. must C. can D. should

5定语从句
1. 定语从句的结构及理解
2. 定语从句的关系词的使用
3. 定语从句的简化表达
知识总结归纳
(一)定语从句的结构:在复合句中,修饰某个名词或代词的句子(做这个名词或代词的定语)叫定语从句,定语从句一般放在被修饰的名词或代词后面,被修饰的名词或代词叫做定语从句的先行词,它与定语从句之间要有一个词连接,这个词指代先行词的内容叫做关系词(关系代词或关系副词:that, which, who, whose, when, where, why)。先行词在定语从句中充当主语,宾语,时间,地点,原因状语。
结构:先行词+关系词+定语从句。
1. There she saw a wall of water that was quickly advancing towards her.
2. In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money.
3. A theme park is a collection of rides, exhibitions or other attractions that are based on a common theme.

5. Visitors can go on exciting rides where they can feel what it is like to do the things they have seen their heroes do in the movie.
6. Oprah Winfrey is a black woman whose rise to fame is an inspiring story.
(二)定语从句分为限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句:
限定性定语从句:从句对先行词进行必要的描述或说明,缺少它,则句义显得不完整,从句与先行词紧密相连。
非限定性定语从句:对先行词进行补充说明,解释,它与先行词之间有逗号隔开。
1. Before she could move, she heard a loud noise, which grew to a terrible roar.
2. Tree after tree went down, cut down by the water, which must have been three meters deep.
3. Flora, whose beautiful hair and dress were all cold and wet, started crying.
4. Their talk includes rhythm and rhyming words as well as tongue twisters, which often make the audience applaud.
(三)关系词前面可以根据定语从句的内容加上一些介词,这些关系词在介词后面常用which 或whom.
1. There was a man with whom I would have to work together and finally the manager of the company.
2. Many people who saw the film were afraid to swim in the sea when they remembered the scenes in which people were eaten by the shark.
知识重点与难点
(一)当先行词有最高级,序数词修饰,是不定代词,或是all, no, only等形式时,关系代词一般用that,而不能用which。
1. The Titanic was the largest ship that had ever been built at that time.
2. There is one thing that keeps worrying me.
(二)当先行词是表示时间,地点,原因的词时,关系词用when, where, why 还有which, that
1. I’m very glad to return to my hometown where I had lived for 10 years.
2. This is my hometown which I used to talk about to you.
3. I think I can understand the reason why he didn’t tell the truth to me.
4. No one believes the reason that he gave us about his absence at the meeting.
(三)定语从句的简化表达:
1. The man who is sitting on the platform is a professor from Wuhan University.
2. The letter that was mailed last night will reach him tomorrow.
3. The question that is being discussed is very important.
4. You are welcome to a party to be given in our class at 7:45.
说明:以上的定语从句部分可以用更加简单的非谓语形式表达出来:
1. The man sitting on the platform is a professor from Wuhan University.
2. The letter mailed last night will reach him tomorrow.
3. The question being discussed is very important.
4. You are welcome to a party to be given in our class at 7:45.
说明:修饰一个名词除了后面用定语从句以外,还可以用非谓语动词形式:doing短语,done短语,being done短语,to be done短语修饰。其结构和意思如下:
1. 被修饰名词+doing短语: 正在做….的人/正在发生的事。
2. 被修饰名词+ done短语: 被…..的人/事
3. 被修饰名词+being done短语:正在被…..的人/事
4. 被修饰名词+ to be done短语:将要被…..的人/事
(1)Do you know the man talking to my sister
(2)The “crazy” gesture, moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear, means “you have a phone call” in Brazil.
(3)Did you see that car being repaired
(4)In a camera, the lens must be focused on the object to be photographed.
(5)The students to attend the meeting will arrive here tomorrow.
(6)Goods imported from abroad are not always better than those made in China.
(7)The Yellow River, said to be “the mother river” runs across China like a huge dragon.
总结:以上做定语的那些短语就是英语语法中所说的分词,不定式的各种形式作定语。
1. 这些短语作定语应放在被修饰名词的后面。如果单独一个V-ing或V-ed形式作定语,则可以放在被修饰名词前面。
2. 分词作定语时,其动作应与全句动作同时发生。V-ing表示主动意义和正在做,V-ed表示被动意义。being done表示正在被做的
3. 不定式作定语表示将要发生的,to be done表示将要被做的

4主谓一致
知识总结归纳
(一)概述:
主语与谓语的一致:在英语表达中,谓语动词的形式要和主语的人称和数保持一致。主要体现在be动词,助动词do, have 以及一般现在时态中的动词形式。
谓语动词与主语保持一致的基本原则:语法一致,就近一致和意义一致。
名词或代词做主语有人称和单,复数之分,动词的单数就是第三人称单数形式,而动词的复数形式即动词的原形。
例句:
1. I am seventeen, and he is sixteen.
2. There is a desk in the room, but there are no chairs in it.
3. John gets up at six o’clock every morning.
4. What is the latest news about the Olympic Games
5. The family are sitting at the breakfast table.
(二)语法一致:
1. 由and连接的两个名词或代词做主语:
(1)这部分主语表示的是两个人或两件不同的事物,谓语动词用复数形式。
例句:
① My brother and I have both seen that film.
② Both rice and wheat are grown in this part of China.
③ The poet and the novelist were both present at the meeting.
④ Reading, writing and arithmetic are called the three R’s.
(2)这部分主语表示具有两个身份或性质的同一个人或一个完整的事物,谓语动词用单数形式。
例句:
① The professor and writer is speaking at the meeting.
② War and peace is a constant theme in history.
③ One more knife and fork is needed.
④ The statesman and poet was engaged in warfare all his life.
⑤ Law and order has been established.
⑥ Bread and butter is our daily food.
⑦ Fish and chips is a popular fast food.
⑧ The stars and stripes is the national flag of U.S.A.
(3)这部分主语前面有each, every, many a, no 等修饰时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。
例句:
① Each doctor and(each)nurse was given a new shirt.
② No sound and no voice is heard.
③ Many a boy and girl has made the same mistake.
④ Every minute and every second is precious.
2. 动名词,不定式,主语从句做主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
例句:
① Reading is a great pleasure in life.
② To live means to create.
③ That we need more time is obvious.
④ What is needed is food and medicine.
3. 表示时间,金钱,距离,重量的复数名词表示数量做主语时,被视为一个整体,谓语动词用单数形式。
例句:
① Three thousand miles is a long distance.
② Eight hours of sleep is enough.
4. 不定代词anyone, anything, everyone, everything, someone, something, no one, nothing, each the other 等做主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
例句:
① Is anybody going to tell him the news
② Someone wants to see you.
(三)就近原则
由连词or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also, 连接的两个名词或代词做主语时,谓语动词和离它最近的哪个名词或代词的人称和数一致。
例句:
1. Either you or Jean is to be sent to New Zealand.
2. Not only his family but also he likes Chaplin’s movies.
3. Neither Tom nor the Browns enjoy their journey to Beijing owing to the bad weather.
4. George or Tom is wanted.
注意:There be句型中be 的形式由它后面的第一个名词的数决定。
例句:
1. There aren’t any letters in the mail for you today.
2. There is a lamp, two pens and three books on the desk.
3. Here are some envelopes and paper for you.
名词后面带有with, along with, together with, besides, except, but, like, including, as well as, rather than短语共同做主语时,谓语动词与这些短语前面的那个名词的数一致。
例句:
1. All but one were here just now.
2. A library with five thousand books is offered to that nation as a gift.
3. An expert, together with some assistants, was sent to help in this work.
4. You as well as I are wrong.
(四)意义一致
1. 代词none, neither, all的不可数形式还是复数形式由它们指的内容决定
例句:
(1)All hope has gone.
(2)All are agreed on this point.
(3)—Is there any milk in the fridge —No, there is none.
(4)None has returned from the meeting.
2. 集合名词group, class, family, army, enemy, team等名词的单,复数形式根据它们强调的内容而定。
例句:
(1)The class were all cheerful.
(2)The team were taking over some new plays.
(3)The group are reading the newspapers.
(4)The army is going to remain in this town.
(5)The army have rescued the travelers.
3. 限定词短语all of…; none of…; a lot of…; 以及分数/百分数+of ….修饰名词构成的名词短语做主语时,谓语动词的形式由of 后面的名词形式决定。
例句:
(1)None of these suggestions are very helpful.
(2)I don’t think any of us wants to work tomorrow.
(3)Two-fifths of the students in the class are from Arabic-speaking countries.
难点突破
1. 主谓一致的考查主要体现在单项选择和短文改错两个题型中。同学们在练习和应试时,遇到这样的题时,要牢记主谓一致的三个基本原则。一定要根据句子内容抓住关键的主语部分。同时还要考虑句子的时态和语态。
2. one of +复数名词做定语从句的先行词时,定语从句中的谓语动词与复数名词一致。 the only one of +复数名词做定语从句的先行词时,定语从句中的谓语动词用单数形式。
例句:
Jim was one of the boys who were late for class.
Jim was the only one of the boys who was late for class.
【典型例题】
[例1] E-mail, as well as telephones, _____ an important part in daily communication.
A. is playing B. have played C. are playing D. play
分析:带有as well as 短语的名词做主语时,谓语动词与这个名词的人称和数一致,不受as well as 短语内容的影响。E-mail是单数形式,故选择A。
[例2] Either John or his friends _____ to blame for the bad results.
A. are B. is C. was D. has been
分析:either…or..连接两个名词做主语时,其谓语动词与离它最近的名词的数和人称一致,本题中his friends 决定了谓语动词的形式,故选择A。
[例3] The conductor and composer _____ by a crowd of people.
A. are greeted B. is greeted C. greets D. have been greeted
分析:根据句意,主语部分的The conductor and composer 是指一个人即:乐队指挥兼作曲家, 所以主语的内容是单数形式,故选择B。
[例4] —The trousers _____ you well, madam.
—But the colour _____ me.
A. fit; don’t suit B. fits; doesn’t suit C. fits; don’t suit D. fit; doesn’t suit
分析:trousers, clothes, glasses,等名词本身就是复数形式。谓语动词用复数形式。Colour 是单数,谓语用单数,故选择D。
[例5] The Smith’s family, which _____ rather a large one, _____ very fond of their old house.
A. were; were B. was; were C. were; was D. was; was
分析:family指“家庭”为单数,指“家庭成员”为复数形式。第一空格前的which 指“家庭” 谓语用was. 第二空格后的fond of指“家庭成员喜欢他们的老房子” 谓语为were,故选择B。
[例6] He is the only one of the students who _____ a winner of scholarship for three years.
A. is B. are C. have been D. has been
分析:当定语从句先行词是“one of +复数形式”时, 其后的从句谓语动词用复数形式。而当one之前有the only时, 定语从句则强调the only one,谓语动词用单数。另外,题目中的时间状语for three years表明从句的时态为现在完成时,故选择D。
[例7] Three fifths of the police _____ in the school near the town.
A. has trained B. have trained C. has been trained D. have been trained
分析:分数+名词做主语时,谓语动词的形式由分数所指的名词的形式(可数名词或不可数名词)决定,police 是集合名词为复数形式,根据句子意思,police 与train 为被动关系,应用被动语态,故选择D。
短文改错片段:
1. Now my picture and the prize is hanging in the library.
分析:本句中主语Now my picture and the prize是复数形式,谓语动词is应改为are.
2. Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once.
分析:本句第一行,根据全篇内容的语境,应当是一般现在时,所以谓语动词talked改为talk.第二行:根据句意:我们下课后立刻又成了陌生人。Stranger应当与主语we一致,改为复数形式,strangers.
3. But not all information are good to society.
分析:主语information是不可数名词,are应改为is

The easy way out isn’t always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be better , so I doubled everything . As Doug loved oranges . I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work . I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the window to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast make the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . It looked like some unknown being from outer space . I could see why Doug was so shaken . I had to admit what the ‘living thing’ was and why it was there . I don’t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing-Doug or me .

In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some pats of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.
