Unit 8 First aid
(2009·北京东城质检)请根据下面提示,写一篇短文。词数不少于50个。
In an English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain how you understand it.
____________________________________________
[参考答案]
In the picture, we can see a giraffe making a great effort to reach for the leaves from a tall tree, sweating. No matter how hard it tries, it still cannot get any leaf. Around the giraffe, there are some small trees which are much easier for it to approach.
Admittedly, the short-sighted giraffe concentrates all its attention on the tall tree. However, it neglects other small trees around it. As long as it moves a little backward or forward, it can reach any leaf from the small trees. In other words, the giraffe fails to make all-sided analysis.
In reality, we may face a similar situation. When we fail after making attempts, we need to consider other ways to solve the problem; otherwise, we will find ourselves in a blind alley(死胡同) just like the giraffe in the picture.

解析:the house与break into之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语,意为“发现屋子被人破门而入”;break in一般不带宾语,所以与house之间没有被动关系;第二空表示的时间发生在主句动作之前,所以用过去完成时。
答案:B
4.in case of+n./pron./v.-ing 如果,万一,假如

The picture was hung upside down.
那幅照片挂倒了。

[注]upside down也可以写作upside-down,另外与之意思相近的表达法是inside out,意为“表里相反”。如:
I can guess you were in a hurry. You ______ your sweater inside out.
A. had worn B. wore
C. are wearing D. were wearing
解析:句意为“我现在可以推测……”,因此“你的毛衣穿反了”是现在的情况。

③get/make ready for...做好……的准备

[指点迷津]
①prepare sth.“准备某事/物”,prepare的宾语是正在做的东西或事情,如:prepare supper“准备晚饭”,即正在做着晚饭。

As the final examination was coming, the teachers were busy ______ the test papers.
A. preparing B. preparing for
C. doing D. finding
解析:test papers指“试卷”。题意应为“老师在忙着准备试卷”,即“老师们在忙着出题准备考试”。prepare for“为……做准备”,在此不合题意要求。
答案:A
Ⅲ.句型归纳
1.We should never try to revive a person unless we know how to do it.除非我们知道如何做,否则我们决不要试着弄醒这人。
unless conj. 如果不,除非。在意义上相当于if not,在有些场合主要引导真实条件句,unless引导的肯定条件状语从句可以和if引导的否定状语从句互换。如:
Unless you change your mind, I won’t be able to help you.=If you don’t change your mind, I won’t be able to help you.除非你改变想法,否则我不能帮助你。
I want you to keep working unless I tell you to stop.=I want you to keep working if I don’t tell you to stop.如果我没说让你停,你就得继续干。
[注]unless不可用于假想的事情,因此当if not引导非真实条件状语从句时,一般不可改用unless。
—Can I watch TV for a while
—Sorry, not ______ you have finished your diary.
A. while B. unless
C. if D. that
解析:在答语中,省略了主句,只保留了一个条件状语从句,即“假如你没有完成日记的话,你不准看电视”。
答案:B
2.I don’t think it a good decision that he will be given this job since he has no experience at all.我认为这项工作让他去干不是明智的决定,因为他一点经验都没有。
that引导的从句是同位语从句,用于解释说明decision的内容,that没有意义,但不能省略。同位语从句前面的名词有:
idea, news, word, suggestion, fact, message, possibility, doubt, answer, reply, belief等。
The fact puzzled Jack much ______ he has been unable to pass the driving test up to now.
A. why B. because
C. how D. that
解析:句意为“这个事实使Jack非常困惑”,后面的句子是the fact的同位语来说明fact的具体内容,“他到现在还没能通过驾驶考试”这是个事实,应用that引导。
答案:D
3.The most important thing to keep in mind when dealing with an emergency is to stay calm.处理紧急情况时要记住的最重要的事情是保持镇静。
句中when dealing with...是一种省略形式,完整的句子结构应是:when we are dealing with...
[思维拓展]
在表示时间、条件、地点、比较、方式或让步的状语从句中,如果谓语动词是be,主语和主句的主语一致或主语是it时,常省略主语和谓语部分。
①时间状语
When heated, water sends out steam.=When it is heated...
②条件状语
He often keeps silent unless spoken to.=...unless he is spoken to.
③地点状语
Many roofs were replaced with new ones where necessary.=...where it is necessary.
④比较状语
You came later than required.=...than you were required.
⑤方式状语
She hurried away as if angry.=...as if she was angry.
⑥常用省略:when/if necessary, when/if possible
The research is so designed that once ______ nothing can be done to change it.
A. begins B. having begun
C. beginning D. begun
解析:该题使用了so...that...句型,同时,在that从句中又有一个once引导的状语从句,表示“一旦开始”,为once it is begun的省略形式。按照状语从句省略形式的原则,应选择D项。
答案:D
