一. 教学内容:
Unit 5 of Module Ⅱ Rhythm Period Four Lesson 3 & 4
二. 本课教学目标与要求:
1、重点理解和掌握Lesson 3, Lesson 4, Communication Workshop and Culture Corner 中的的句子。
2、对相关的重难点句子进行必要的拓展。
三. 重难点句子讲解:
1. It was Morissette’s first performance in England since her song “Uninvited” won this year’s Grammy Award for the best rock song.
这是莫里塞特的歌“Uninvited”赢得本年度“格莱美”最佳摇滚乐奖以来在英格兰的首场演出。
it 是代词,指上周四的演出,since her song “Uninvited” won this year’s Grammy Award for the best rock song是时间状语从句。
拓展:
since引导时间状语从句,意思是“自……以来”,主句用完成时或完成进行时,
since引导的从句多用一般过去时;since也可用于下列句型中:
It is +一段时间+since…,it 表示时间,谓语动词用is ,而不用has been。如:
She has been teaching in this school since she graduated.
从她毕业以来,一直在这个学校教书。
It’s years since I enjoyed myself so much.
我好几年没这么高兴过了。
2. She also played a few songs from her new album ,such as “Everything But…”,which tells the story of someone looking for love in the wrong places.
她也演奏了几首新专辑里的歌,例如,“Everything But…”讲述一个人到错误的地方寻找爱情的故事。
which tells the story of someone looking for love in the wrong places 是一个定语从句,修饰“Everything But …”,其中looking for love in the wrong places 是现在分词短语作定语,修饰someone。
辨析:
such as 和as such
such as 像,例如
as such 照此,就以这样的身份
Some of the rubbish ,such as food, paper and iron rots away over a long time.
有些垃圾像食物、纸和铁要过很长时间才会这样腐烂。
She is a teacher, and should be respected as such .
她是一个老师,该受到老师应有的尊重。
3. At the end of the three hours, Morissette showed that she was a true performer, singing
a well-known song “Heartache”.
在演唱会结束时,莫里塞特演唱了一首著名的歌曲《心疼》,向大家展示了真正的表演艺术家的风采。
that she was a true performer是名词性从句,接在showed 之后作宾语,singing a well-known song “Heartache”是现在分词短语作谓语动词showed的伴随状语。
拓展:
at the end of …和by the end of …
at the end of …“在……之末”,后接表示过去的时间时,主句用过去时态。如:
They finished the project at the end of June.
他们六月底完成了这项工程。
by the end of …“到……末”,后接表示过去的时间时,主句用过去完成时。如:
They had finished 70% of the project by the end of last month.
上个月末时,他们已完成了工程的百分之七十。
4. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new.
孔(祥东)解释说,他这样做是因为他想搞一些创新。
that he tried this because he wanted to create something new.是一名词性从句,作及物动词explained的宾语,其中because he wanted to create something new.是原因状语从句。
拓展:
something 是不定代词,修饰something, someone ,anything ,anyone, all, everyone 等不定代词的形容词要放在其后。如:
Please be quiet, the monitor has something important to say.
请安静,班长有重要的事情要说。
在学习不定代词时,还要注意修饰不定代词的定语从句要用that 而不是which来引导。如:
All that I need to do is to serve the people heartedly.
我所要做的就是全心为人民服务。
5. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.
他还感到用钢琴演奏中国民族音乐有助于使它走向世界。
playing Chinese folk music…...world.是一个宾语从句,从句中,playing …on the piano是动名词短语,作主语,bring it to the rest of the world.是省略了to 的不定式短语,作help的宾语。
拓展:
在表示乐器的名词如piano, violin等之前要加定冠词the 。
help后接动词作宾语或宾语补足语时,要接动词不定式,可以省略to ,也可不省略to ;can’t help 表示“禁不住……”时,只能接动名词。如:
He helped me carry the bags from the car.
I couldn’t help crying when I saw her .
记忆要诀:需要用定冠词的名词歌诀
独一无二最高级,山河海岛奏乐器。
阶级党派上报纸,国家组织上杂志。
已说过的人或事,同一东西大家知。
姓氏前是“一家子”,序数前表“第几”。
6. His mother couldn’t buy him a piano until he was seven.
直到七岁,他母亲才有能力给他买一架钢琴。
until he was seven是一个时间状语从句。
拓展:
由until, unless, as soon as, if 等词引导的状语从句常用一般现在时表示将来时。如:
You will miss the bus unless you get up right now.
如果不马上起床,你会误公共汽车的。
比较:
1)until 和till
till一般用于肯定句,表示“直到……(为止)”,句中要求使用延续性动词。如:
to wait till ten o’clock.
until用于肯定句时与till相似,用于否定句时,主句要用短暂性动词,
not…until意思是“直到……才”。如:
We can’t go until Thursday.
我们要到星期四才能去。
2)until和unless都是连词,unless表示“除非”,强调条件,引导条件状语从句;
until表示“直到”,强调时间的延续,引导时间状语从句。
7. He had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible.
他不得不在一张纸上画上钢琴键,这样他就能够尽早地学习弹钢琴。
so that he could learn to play as early as possible.是一个状语从句,表示目的。
比较:
so that 可以引导结果或目的状语从句。如:
She studied very hard so that she made progress rapidly.
她勤奋学习,所以进步很快。(so that 引导结果状语从句)
He gets up early this morning so that he can catch the first bus.
今天早晨他起得很早为了能赶上头班公共汽车。
(so that 引导目的状语从句,从句常与can, could 连用)
8. He was made to practise the piano so much that, at time, he thought about giving up.
他被迫大量地练习弹钢琴,以致他有时考虑放弃。
so…that 引导的句子是一个结果状语从句,giving up 是动词短语,作介词about 的宾语。to practise the piano so much 是动词不定式作主语he 的补语。
拓展:
在let, make, have 以及感官动词see, hear, observe, feel等词后作宾语补足语的动词不定式要省略to ,当这些词变为被动语态时,动词不定式相应的变成主语补足语,这时to 不能省略。
记忆要诀:一方巧记:变被动,to 出动。
9. The concert last week was such a success that Kong’s Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
上周的音乐会很成功,以至于孔祥东的“梦幻之旅”音乐会还要在随后的两年在北京、上海和其他大城市上演,然后去巴黎、纽约演出。
such…that是一固定搭配,意为“如此……以致……”,that Kong’s Dream Tour Concert…直到句末是一个结果状语从句,从句中before going to Paris and New York 是状语,说明谓语is expected to run for…的时间。
辨析:so…that 与such…that
so(such)…that引导的是结果状语从句,so 是副词,用来修饰形容词和副词。
其结构是so +adj.(adv.)+that+从句;such是形容词,它所修饰的名词可以是单数或复数可数名词,也可以是不可数名词。
如:
The boy’s father was so thankful that he taught Edison how to send messages by railway telegraph.
男孩的父亲对爱迪生感激不尽,就教他发电报。
使用这一结构时,要注意以下几点:
1)so…that可以转换成such…that结构:
such +a(an)+形容词+可数名词单数=so+形容词+a(an)+名词。如:
It was such a hot day that nobody wanted to do anything.
=It was so hot a day that nobody wanted to do anything.
天气炎热没人想干活。
2)当that从句前的名词有many, much, few, little修饰时,只能用so。
I’ve had so many falls I am black and blue all over.
我摔了这么多跤,全身青一块紫一块。
10. They are dressed in beautiful costumes, skipping back and forth to the rhythm of loud drums.
他们穿着漂亮的服装,随着响亮的鼓声节奏来回蹦跳。
skipping back and forth to the rhythm of loud drums 是现在分词短语主句的伴随状语,to the rhythm of …意为“随着……的节奏。”
辨析:
put on/pull on/have on /wear/be in +表示色彩的词/dress这几个词都表示“穿;戴”的意思。
put on /pull on 指穿的动作。
pull on 表示“随便地穿上”(=put on carelessly),其宾语通常是衣服、袜子、手套、靴子等。He put/pulled on his clothes and went out .
have on 用来表示“穿;戴”的状态,但是一般不用于进行时态。如:
She has on a red coat.
wear和“be in +表示色彩的名词均表示状态。如:
She is wearing a red coat./She is in red.
dress 可用于dress sb./oneself或be dressed in 结构。
She dressed her baby every morning.
She is old enough to dress herself.
She is dressed in red (clothes).
注意:
1)put on /pull on /wear/have on /be in 的宾语都是物;dress的宾语是人。
2)put on /pull on /dress 都表示动作;have on /wear/be in /be dressed in 表示状态。
11. Dancing in couples returned in the 1970s and 1980s with “disco” music.
双人舞于20世纪70年代和80年代随迪斯科的流行再次兴起。
介词短语in couples作定语,修饰dancing, with “disco” music是状语,说明谓语动词returned的背景。
in the 1970s意为“20世纪70年代,不要把它误写为in 1970s, in the 1970’s 或 in 1970’s。
12. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures and styles have become more and more mixed.
广播、电视和因特网使声音的跨文化传播较为容易,风格也越来越相互融合。
for sounds to travel across cultures是动词不定式短语作真正的宾语,其位置由形式宾语it所代替,sounds是to travel的逻辑主语。
辨析:
it作形式宾语往往易与it作形式主语的宾语从句相混,学习时要加以区别。如:
I think it is important to make the decision at once.(it 是形式主语)
I think it important to make the decision at once.(it 是形式宾语)
13. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown ,it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.
如果还有一点流行音乐历史所反映出来的事,那就是优秀的音乐家总是从他们所听到的不同风格的音乐中去创造新的音乐。
If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown 是一个条件状语从句,其中the history of popular music has shown 是定语从句,修饰one thing, that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear 是表语从句,其中they hear 是定语从句,修饰styles.
辨析:if 和whether
if 意思为“如果,假如”,引导真实条件句和虚拟条件句,还可以引导名词从句,包括主语和宾语从句,意思为“是否”。注意,引导主语从句时不可置于句首。如:
We wouldn’t have missed the train if you had come sooner.
要是你早点来我们就不会误火车了。
It is doubtful if we can finish the work on time.
我们能否按时完成工作还难说。
whether也可表示“是否,是不是”,但whether常和or连用,表示选择两种情况或条件。whether还可作为连接词引出名词性从句和让步状语从句。whether引导的主语从句可放在句首。引导让步状语从句时,whether意思为“无论……还是……,不管…….,不论…….”。如:
He didn’t know whether to turn left or right.
他不知道该向左转还是向右转。
Whether it is useful remains a question.
这是否有用还是个问题。
14. The Talent Show is coming in two weeks’ time.
才艺展示两周后开始。
这是一个表示将来的简单句,is coming 是现在进行时表示将来时态。
现在进行时表示将来的词多是一些表示位置转移的动词,如:go ,come ,leave, start, arrive等。
比较:
after和in 在一般将来时中,两个词都表示“……以后”,后接“段时间”
after 后接“点时间”。如:
He will come back in a week.
他会在一周后回来。
He will come back after 10 o’clock.
他会在10点以后回来。
15. It was so exciting watching him do it .
看他连续抛接10个球是激动人心的。
watching him do it 是动名词短语作真正主语,
最后一个it是代词,代替上一句中的连续抛接10个球这件事情。

二、综合阅读
If you have been going into chat room talks, or writing email with web pals (网友) , you have become one of the millions who write in a very short form of English.
And you’ve got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF (= sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don’t understand you.
Across the world, every night teenagers and their elders are "talking online, many of them all talking at the same time.
It’s fast: try talking to six people at once. It’s brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.
And it requires tremendous linguistic economy (语言省略). There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key - strokes (键盘敲击) telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB( = be right back) will do
Want to enter a conversation Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you are talking to Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (= on the floor), or LOL (= laughing out loud) , or combing the two into ROTFL ( = rolling on the floor laughing) .
And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the "shift" key and capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going, too.
1. Many people talk on the Internet ______.
A. by sending short emails
B. by using a particular short form of English
C. by using peculiar English words and expression
D. in a funny way
2. In order to talk to several people at the same time on the Internet ______.
A. you have to speak fast and fluently
B. you should speak with wit and humor
C. you have to express your ideas in a brief way
D. one should pay much attention to the accuracy of words
3. If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means______.
A. the person on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine
B. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York
C. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York
D. the person who you are talking to is a 17 - foot tall New York girl
4. To save time on the Internet, __________.
