自主探究
1. Mario, you used to be short, didn’t you? 马里奥，你以前个子很矮，是吗？
【解读1】这是一个反意疑问句。反意疑问句是表示说话人对所陈述的事情有所怀疑或不肯定，需要询问对方的看法。反意疑问句由“陈述句 + 附加疑问句”构成，若陈述句为肯定形式，则附加疑问句要用否定形式；若陈述句为否定形式，则附加疑问句要用肯定形式，即“前肯后否；前否后肯”。同时，前后两部分的人称、数、时态等都要保持一致。附加疑问句一般由“助动词、be动词或情态动词的肯定形式或否定形式 + 人称代词”构成，且否定形式常用缩写形式。
注意：当陈述句中含有no, never, seldom, hardly, little, few, nothing, nobody等表示否定意义的词时，附加疑问句要用肯定形式。当陈述句中含有unhappy, dislike, unfriendly等带否定前缀的派生词时，当作肯定句处理，附加疑问句要用否定形式。
【举例】(1) You saw him yesterday, didn’t you? 你昨天看见过他，是吗？
(2) This is a beautiful picture, isn’t it? 这是一幅美丽的图画，是吗?
(3) Lucy can’t play the piano, can she? 露西不会弹钢琴，是吗？
(4) There is little food at home, is there? 在家里几乎没有食物，是吧？
(5) He looks unhappy, doesn’t he? 他看上去不高兴，是吧?
【练习】把下列句子补充完整
They work hard, ______ they?
You didn't go, ______ you?
There are few apples in the basket, ______ there?
He can hardly swim, ______ he?
The girl dislikes history, ______ she?
【解读2】（1）used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”。其中，used to是一个情态动词，用于过去持续或经常发生的事，意为“曾经”，只用于过去时态。当used to用于反意疑问句中时，附加疑问句部分通常用didn’t / usedn’t + 人称代词的主格。其否定形式通常为didn’t use to, 它的另一种否定形式used not to（简写成usedn’t to）是一种相当正式的用法。
构成疑问句时，常用did, 即Did sb./ sth. use to…？而另一种疑问句结构Used sb./ sth. to…？是一种过时且非常正式的用法，通常作书面语。
（2）used to do sth., be /get used to (doing) sth. 与be used to do sth. /for (doing) sth.的辨析。
used to do sth.
意为“过去常常做某事”。其中，used to是一个情态动词
He used to go to our school.
他曾在我们学校就读。
be /get used to (doing) sth.
意为“习惯于（做）某事”。其中，used是形容词，
I am /get used to getting up early every day.
我习惯每天早起
be used to do sth. /for (doing) sth.
意为“被用来做某事”。其中，used 是动词use的过去分词
The knife is used to cut things. /The knife is used for cutting things。刀被用来切东西。
【举例】(6) He used to play here, didn’t / usedn’t he? 他过去常常在这里玩，是吗？
(7) She didn’t use / usedn’t to listen to music. 她过去不常听音乐。
(8) Did you use / Used you to go to church？你以前经常去教堂吗？

2. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. 当她感觉好一点之后， 她敢在全班同学面前唱歌了，然后在全校同学面前唱。

1. Li Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades.李闻是一个正常的15岁大的男孩，他在学校学习刻苦，成绩优秀。
【解读1】15-year-old为复合形容词，在句中作定语修饰后面的名词boy。其结构为“数词+名词+形容词”，其中名词必须用单数形式，连字符不能省略。当该类词修饰表泛指的单数可数名词时，要根据数词开头的音素决定冠词用a还是an。
【举例】(1) She is a seven-year-old girl. 她是一个7岁大的女孩。
【练习】根据中文完成句子
他是一个8岁大的男孩。He is ______ ______ boy.
我的姐姐12岁。My elder sister is______ ______ ______.
2. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. 他小时候很少给他的父母惹麻烦，他们为他感到骄傲。

【举例】(1) He was proud of himself for not giving up. 他为自己没有放弃而自豪。
(2) I’m very proud to be a part of this team. 能成为队中的一员我感到十分荣幸。
(3) She was proud that her daughter had so much talent.女儿这么有天赋令她骄傲。

3. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school.最后，他的父母决定送他去一所寄宿学校。
【解读】make a decision to do sth.表示“决定做某事”，相当于decide to do sth.。其中，make a decision意为“作决定”，相当于decide。
