Unit 2 重、难点解析
1. Curiosity drove Wang Pengwei inside. (Reading)
(1)curiosity是一无生命的名词,在句中作主语。英语中常用无生命的名词作主语,使句子简洁、生动。如:
Dusk found him crying in the street.
黄昏时他在街上哭泣。
The bad weather has sent vegetable prices up.
天气不好使得蔬菜价格上涨。
(2) drive在句中意为“驱使,迫使”,inside是副词,在句中作宾语补足语。drive表示此意时,还可跟不定式、形容词、介词短语作宾语补足语。如:
Hunger drove him to steal. 饥饿迫使他偷盗。
The pain nearly drove her mad.
她痛得都快发疯了。
The sad news drove him out of his mind.
那噩耗使他丧失了理智。
2. ...but I found your menu so limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. (Using Language)
(1) benefit意为“利益、好处、优越条件”时,通常用作不可数名词;指具体的好处时,可以用作可数名词。如:
We developed trade with them for mutual benefit.
我们本着互惠互利的原则同他们开展贸易。
Building the railway has already brought many benefits to our province.
修建这条铁路已经给我们省带来了许多好处。
(2) benefit用作及物动词,表示“对……有好处,有益于……”。
Taking exercise will benefit you.
锻炼对你有好处。
(3)benefit作不及物动词时表示“得益于……”,常用结构为benefit from / by sth.。如:
She benefited from the teacher’s advice. 老师的建议使她受益匪浅。
You’ll benefit by a holiday. 假期对你有好处。
3. They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried them. (Using Language)
rather than在这里是并列连词,连接两个并列成分,意为“而不是……”、“与其……不如……”。它连接的主要成分有以下几种:
(1)谓语动词
He ran rather than walked to the school.
他是跑着而不是走着去学校的。
(2)不定式或-ing形式
Nuclear energy is developed to benefit people rather than to harm them.
发展核能是为了造福人类,而不是危害他们。
I always prefer starting early, rather than leaving everything to the last minute.
我总是及早动手,而不是把什么事情都拖到最后一分钟才去做。

他没有给我钱而是给了我一些很有价值的建议。
(4)形容词
The shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.
这鞋与其说是漂亮,不如说是舒服。
(5)介词短语

胜利的荣誉授予集体而不是个人。
(6)分句
What made his parents angry was that he told a lie rather than he came home late.
使他父母生气的是他说了谎而不是回家晚了。

W: Yeah.
M: OK, I’ll come too. How about meeting me in front of the cinema at eight, and we’ll catch the bus there.
W: Sure, see you then.
(Text 10)
There are six letters forming a word that means the whole world to us.
“M” is for the million things she gives us; “o” shows she’s growing old; “t” is for the tears she has cried while bringing us up; “h” is for her heart of gold; “e” is for her eyes shining with love; and “r” means right, and right she will be always! Put them together, and we get the most valuable gift from God.
They are our truest friends. We turn to them when difficult times fall upon us. We celebrate with them when we are happy. And when other friends leave us, still they are there.
Their day falls on the second Sunday in May. It stands for our love and respect for the greatest persons in the world.

Dear Jenny,
In your email you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to give you some advice.
As you know, we teenagers grow very fast, so we need plenty of nutritious foods, such as fish, meat, and beans, especially fresh vegetables and fruit. You’d better not eat too much sweet. Also, you should take physical exercise regularly instead of studying in the classroom all the time. For example, you can play basketball or swim after school. What’s more, having enough sleep is very important. So I advise you to have at least eight hours of sleep every day and not to stay up too late. Only in this way can you keep fit.
Best wishes,
Yours, Li Hua

考点聚焦 真题再现
1. Wang Pengwei sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. (Reading)

(2004全国卷II)
A. looking B. to look

[点拨] 选A。此题考查-ing形式短语作伴随状语。Bob在说话的同时看着窗外,用-ing形式, 表主动和进行。
2. His restaurant ought to be full of people. (Reading)
[考点] ought to 是情态动词, 意为“应该……”, 其否定式是ought not to/oughtn’t to;ought to have done和should have done一样,都表示 “本应该做某事而没有做”。

[考点] had better 意为“最好……”, 后跟不带to的不定式, 其否定式是had better not do sth.。

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式
Step I Warming up
Review the words of foods by showing their pictures. First, ask students to list the foods they like best. Then tick off 3 of them they eat most often. Second, show the three groups of foods and see which group their foods belong to. Third, ask students to tell us in what ways their foods help them grow.
T: There are so many delicious foods. What’s your favorite?
S1: I love eating meat, sugar and bread. My mother is sure to cook meat for me every day. I enjoy all kinds of meat, such as roast pork, beef, mutton kebabs and fried chicken. I have been used to eating sweets or bread while watching TV.
T: So what have happened to you?
S1: I am getting fatter and fatter. They all call me a big couch potato. But I can’t resist the attraction of them.
S2: I often eat vegetables, fruits and noodles. In order to keep slim, I only have a bowl of noodles each time. My parents are worried about my health. But I think it is worth the loss.
T: You have enough fiber. Would you mind me asking you a question? Do you often get tired while you are at school?
S2: Very often. I feel I ought to get more energy.
T: Now do you think we should eat each kind of food?
S: Yes. We need every kind of food to give us energy, fiber, protein and minerals so as to grow healthily.
T: So what does healthy eating mean?
S: Healthy eating means a balanced diet.
T: Right. Eating properly and maintaining a healthy weight are extremely important for us students, because we are growing and going through major changes to our body, mind and emotions. So remember the three groups of food: energy-giving, body-building and protective foods.
Step II Pre-reading
Get the students to discuss the questions with their partners in this part. Then ask them to report their work. This part will help the students understand the text.
T: Please look at the slide show and discuss the questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask you to report your work. Are you clear?
Which food contains more...?
Examples of foods
Answer
sugar
chocolate or grapes
cakes or bananas
chocolate
cakes
fat
cream or rice
chocolate or chicken
cream
chocolate
fiber
peas or nuts
pork or cabbage
nuts
cabbage
protein
potato crisps or ham
eggs or cream
ham eggs
S: For the fattest food, the correct order I think is ice-cream, eggs, chicken, rice and peaches.
T: Do you agree with her / him?
S: Yes, I do.
Step III Reading
Get the Ss to comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teacher gives the Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell the Ss to read the text silently and then ask for the main idea of the text on the slide show with their partners. Teacher encourages the Ss to express their ideas.
T: What health problem do you know are connected with eating?
S: Too fat, too thin, anorexia, heart attack and high blood pressure.
T: In the USA there are a lot of people who are fat or getting fat. They have health problems as a result of not eating properly. So the whole society is concerned about what people can do to help them lose weight and keep fit. In order to satisfy people’s need and especially to continue to share the market, the famous fast food chain McDonald’s restaurants develop a new kind of potato crisps and put a lot of cabbages into their hamburgers. Here we’re going to learn a story about a competition between two restaurants. Let’s see what’s the result.
Fast reading
In this part the teacher should ask the students to read the passage quickly for the first time to find out the main idea of the text. Then ask them to read the text again carefully to obtain some details. Before reading show the tasks on the screen and let the students read the sentences first. This task can help them have a good understanding about the text.
1. The two restaurants supplied the healthy diet.
2. The reason why Yong Hui’s restaurant was so popular with customers.
3. Wang Pengwei found out why he had lost his customers and decided to win them back.
T: At first I’d like you to read the text quickly to get the general idea of the text. Pay attention to the sentences which contain modal verbs.
(2 minutes later)
T: Stop here. Which one do you prefer?
Ss: We’d prefer the third sentence.
T: Why do you prefer it?
S1: As far as I can see, it is the third sentence. The first one is not true because they didn’t supply the healthy diet. And the second sentence is a piece of information about Yong Hui’s restaurant we can get from the text.
T: Do you agree with her/ him?
S2: Yes. That’s exactly my opinion. In this story Wang Pengwei is one of the leading characters. This part only tells us how the competition began and what Wang Pengwei would do next.
T: Well done.
Careful reading
T: Now, it’s the time for us to read the text carefully and decide which sentences are true. Then correct the false ones. First read the sentences.
1. Usually Wang Pengwei’s restaurant was full of people.
2. He provided a balanced diet in his menu.
3. Yong Hui served a balanced diet.
4. Yong Hui could make people thin in two weeks by giving them a good diet.
5. Wang Pengwei’s customers often became fat after eating in his restaurant.
6. Yong Hui’s menu gave them energy foods.
7. Wang Pengwei’s menu gave them foods containing fiber.
8. Wang Pengwei admired Yong Hui’s restaurant when he saw the menu.
9. Wang Pengwei decided to copy Yong Hui’s menu.
Give the students 7 minutes to read the text and to think over or discuss the questions. The teacher should walk around the classroom to help those students who need help.
Ss: a. Sentence 1 is true. We can see it from the sentence “His restaurant ought to be full of people.”
b. It’s false. He didn’t provide a balanced diet in his menu, because his menu made people fat.
c. It’s false. Yong Hui didn’t serve a balanced diet either, because her menu only served people with protective foods.
d. It’s false. I don’t think Yong Hui gave them a good diet. She could make them not only thin but also unhealthy by only giving them raw vegetables, fruits and water.
e. Sentence 5 is also true. Because people wouldn’t go to Wang Pengwei’s restaurant and his menu is full of fat and sugar.
f. It’s false. Yong Hui gave them protective foods.
g. It’s false. Wang Pengwei’s menu gave them foods containing much fat and energy.
h. It’s false. Wang Pengwei didn’t admire her when he saw the menu. He didn’t believe what she said and planned to stop her from telling lies.
i. It’s false. He decided to improve his menu to compete against her.
Step IV Comprehending
By now, the students have had a further understanding about the text. Let the students read the text again and find out the differences between the two restaurants.
T: Now please read the passage again and fill in the chart on the screen together with your partners.
advantages
disadvantages
Wang Pengwei’s restaurant
Not giving enough foods containing fiber
Providing plenty of energy foods
Yong Hui’s restaurant
Not giving enough energy foods
Providing plenty of fiber foods.
Next discover whether the students have understood the ideas in the reading passage.
T: Until now we have known what’s wrong with both restaurants. What does it matter if you only eat at one of the restaurants?
S1: If we often eat at Wang Pengwei’s restaurant we’ll become too fat which can lead to illnesses such as heart attack or high blood pressure.
S2: If we often eat at Yong Hui’s restaurant, we’ll become too thin and suffer illnesses such as anorexia or malnutrition.
T: That sounds dangerous. How can they make a balanced diet?
S3: I think both restaurants should supply all kinds of foods so that every customer can eat a little of each kind at the same time. As a result, we don’t worry about what they will lack of.
S4: I don’t agree with you. It’s not realistic. In my opinion, Yong only receives fat people and help them lose weight; Wang only receives slim people and help them to get enough energy.
S5: I’m afraid I can’t agree with you all. I hope the two restaurants will join together as a new one which has all the advantages and avoids the disadvantages.
T: You all have a point there. But what will they do? We will see it next class. Facing the serious competition, Wang wasn’t lost in sadness and he didn’t quarrel with his competitor either. He went to the library to learn more about healthy eating and made his menu better than Yong Hui’s menu. Do you think we should follow his example?
S6: That’s correct. Exactly.
T: Good. What’s your opinion of Yong Hui? Is what Yong Hui did right? Why?
S7: I don’t think she is right. Yong Hui didn’t give us a good diet. She could make us not only thin but unhealthy if we often eat there. She made an unhealthy menu to agree with the fashion and her meal was too expensive. She cheated the customers and they didn’t know they would become unhealthy if they often ate there. So I wouldn’t go there to have a meal.
Explanation
T: Now let’s deal with some language points. Turn to Page 10. Let’s look at the sentences:
Wang Pengwei sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated.
This sentence means that the second action “feeling very frustrated” happened together with the main action “sat”. Pay attention to the form (v-ing ) of the second action.
Nothing could have been better.
This sentence tells us that everything has worked out the way you would like. It is a sentence that we can use it in any situation.
