Archimedes and the golden crown
1. At first, he was very happy with it.
(1) at first "起初"
辨析:at first与first of all
At first I didn't want to go,but I soon changed my mind.
起初我不想去,可是不久我改变了主意。
First of all,open the windows,then turn off the gas,and if necessary,call an ambulance.
首先,打开窗子,然后关掉煤气,如果需要,叫一辆救护车。
课文讲解
at first 起初;当初 相当于at the beginning,与后来发生的事相对照,其反义词组为at last(最后,终于)
first of all 首先,第一 相当于first,表示顺序,是时间上或一系列行动的开始,后面往往接next,then等
(2) be happy with sb./sth 意为“对某人或事物满意的”,
=be pleased/satisfied with sb./sth
His teacher is happy with him. 他的老师对他很满意。
She is happy with what I've done. 她对我做的很满意。
2. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown.
(1) however"然而"
辨析:however与but,二者都有“然而,但是”的意思,其区别如下:
however“然而;不过”,比较正式,可以放在分句之首、之中或之尾;其前面或后面要用逗号隔开,如在句中,其前后都要加逗号。
It's raining hard,however,they're still working in the field.
雨下得很大,然而他们仍然在地里干活。
but“但是”,表示很明显的对比,转折的意味比however要强,从语序上看,but总是置于引出的分句之首。
I'd like to go swimming with you,but I have to tidy the garden now.
我很想和你一起去游泳,但是我现在必须整理花园。
(2) begin to do sth.意为“开始做某事”,同义词组为begin doing sth.。
When can I begin to work? 我什么时候能开始工作呢?
When I got there,the singer had already begun singing.
当我到那儿时,歌手已经开始唱歌了。
(3) doubt此处用作及物动词,意为“不能肯定,对……无把握”。
He doubts the truth of the news. 他怀疑那件新闻的真实性。
I don't doubt that she'll come. 她一定来,我不怀疑。
【拓展】①doubt用作不及物动词,意为“怀疑”,其后常接of,about。
She doubts about everything. 她对一切都怀疑。
He doubts of his success. 他怀疑他能否成功。
②doubt后接宾语从句时,名词从句用if/whether引导,名词从句也可用that引导。
I doubt if/whether she will keep her word. 我怀疑她是否会遵守诺言。
I don't doubt that we will win. 我们会获胜是没有疑问的。
(4) real形容词,意为“真的,正宗的”,其副词形式为really。
This is a real dog,not a toy. 那是一条真正的狗,不是玩具狗。
辨析:real与true
real 强调客观存在,并非想象的或虚构的,即某物外表与实质之间有一致性 Christmas Father isn't a real person.圣诞老人不是真实的人物。
true 强调事实与实际情况相符,并非杜撰、捏造的,符合一定标准、一定模式 Is it true that he is dead? 他死了,是真的吗?
3. “Is it made completely of gold?”he wondered.
be made of "由……制成"。
辨析:be made of与 be made from
【中考﹒链接】
Books are made paper while paper is mainly made wood.
A. of;of B. from;from C. of;from D. from;of
be made of 看得出原材料 The table is made of wood. 这张桌子是由木头做成的
be made from 看不出原材料 The wine is made from grain. 这酒是用粮食酿造的。
4.“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?”thought Archimedes.
seem用作连系动词,意为“似乎,好像”,本句中后接形容词作表语,这种用法较常见,可以和seem to be相互转换。
He seems very angry. = He seems to be very angry. 他好像非常生气。
用作实意动词,可接to do sth
He seems to sing. 他似乎在唱歌。
5. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water.
fill…with… 意为“用……把……装满”,其被动语态形式为be filled with,相当于be full of
6. …so I'm certain that it's not completely made of gold.
certain用作形容词,意为“确定的,肯定的”。
常用结构:
①be certain+从句 一定……
I'm not certain where he lives. 我不敢肯定他住在哪儿。
②be certain to do sth. 肯定要做某事
He is certain to finish the task on time. 他肯定会按时完成任务。
③be certain of/about sth. 对……确信,有把握
We're certain of success. 我们有把握成功。
④be certain of doing sth. 有把握做某事
He is certain of winning the match. 他确信能赢这场比赛。
7. What's wrong with it?
What's wrong (with sb. /sth)?是用来询问“某人发生了什么事情或某物出了什么毛病/故障”等最常用的句型之一。
其同义句型为:
What's the matte/trouble with...?
What's wrong with you? 你怎么了(出什么事了)?
8. That's why I'm angry.
That's why... 意为“那就是……的原因”,why引导的是表语从句,用陈述语序。
表语从句是在句中作表语的从句,常位于连系动词be,look等的后面。
The alarm clock didn't go off. That's why he was late for school.
闹钟没有响。那就是他上学迟到的原因。
9. How did Archimedes discover the truth?
辨析:discover与invent
这两个词都用作及物动词,都指人们首先见到新鲜事物,但含义不同。
Recently they discovered gold. 最近他们发现了黄金。
Edison invented the electric light bulb. 爱迪生发明了电灯泡。
discover 发现 指发现或偶然发现原本存在的,但一直未被认识或不为人知的东西

Helen at the Olympics
In ancient Greece, women were not allowed to watch the Olympics. However, Helen, a brave woman, wanted to watch her son, Rodus, run.
“I’m going to see you at the Olympics tomorrow,” said Helen.
“But Mum, the king will be angry,” said Rodus.
“Don’t worry. I’ll think of a way,” replied Helen.
The next day, Helen dressed as a soldier to attend the Olympics. She was soon caught.
“Take her to prison,” said the king.
Read the story on page 11. Then answer the questions.
10. However,Helen,a brave woman,wanted to watch her son run.
watch sb. do sth 意为“看某人做了某事或经常做某事”,表示看见动作发生、进行的全过程。其中do为省略to的不定式,作宾语补足语。
I watched her go out of the room just now. 刚才我看到她从房间里出来了。
注意:Watch sb. doing sth. 意为“看某人正在做某事”,表示看见动作正在进行。其中doing为现在分词,作宾语补足语。
He stopped to watch us working. 他停下来看我们干活。
【拓展】和watch用法相同的动词(组)还有see, hear, make, feel, notice, look at 等。

We often hear the girl sing English songs.
我们经常挺大了那个女孩唱英文歌曲。(动作经常发生)
I heard the song wind blowing when it was raining heavily.
下大雨的时候我听见狂风呼啸。(动作正在进行)
一感、二听、三让、五看、半帮助。
注释:
“一感”指的是feel(感觉);
“二听”指的是listen to(听),hear(听见);
“三让”指的是let, make, have;
“五看”指的是watch, see, notice, observe, look (at);
“半帮助”是指help。因为既可以说help sb. do sth.,也可以说help sb. to do sth.。
11. When you have written something, you should check your work to make sure the spelling, grammar and punctuation are all correct.
(1) make sure意为“确保,设法保证”,后可接宾语从句或of短语。

绝对不能让他们知道我们的计划。
They scored another goal and make sure of victory.
他们又进了一个球,这就赢定了。
(2) correct 此处用作形容词(=right),意为“正确的”,其副词为correctly(正确地)。
【拓展】correct用作动词,意为“改正;纠正”

常用短语:make a mistake /mistakes 犯错;by mistake 错误地

你在作文中犯了几处语法错误。
I got on the wrong bus by mistake. 我搭错了公共汽车。
【拓展】mistake还可用作动词,意为“弄错,搞错”。

反意疑问句
(一)含义及构成:
反意疑问句又叫附加疑问句,它表示提问的人对陈述的事实没有把握,需要对方证实反意疑问句由两部分构成:前一部分是一个陈述句,后一部分是一个简短的疑问句。前后两部分在人称、数、时态等方面必须保持一致,如:
She often has lunch at school, doesn't she?
You don't like sports, do you?
(二)使用反意疑问句时要遵循以下三条原则:
1、“前肯后否”或“前否后肯”,如:
They are very late for the meeting, aren't they?
You can't do it, can you?
2、前后两句主语保持一致,如:
He is tall, isn't he?
3、前后两句时态保持一致,问句部分的助动词要由陈述句部分的谓语动词决定,如:
They will go to town soon, won't they?(不能用don't they?或 aren't they?)
He works very hard, doesn't he?(不能用didn't he?或won't he?)
(三)反意疑问句的答语:
回答遵循一个原则,那就是不管怎么提问,只要事实是肯定的,就用“Yes,肯定回答”;只要事实是否定的,就用“No,否定回答”。但在前否后肯的反意疑问句中,其答语与汉语翻译不同,Yes要翻译成“不”,No要翻译成“是”。
—You will never forget him, will you? 你永远不会忘记他,是吗?
—Yes,I will. 不,我会忘记。
—No,I won't. 是的,我不会忘记。
1) 陈述部分I am时,疑问部分要用 aren't I.
I'm as tall as your sister,aren't I? (我和你姐姐一样高,对吗?)
2) 陈述部分用 no, nothing, nobody, never, few, little, seldom, hardly等否定含义的词时,疑问部分用肯定含义。
如: The old man made no answer, did he?
Jim is never late for school, is he?
3) 陈述部分有情态动词
have to +v. (had to + v.),疑问部分常用don't +主语(didn't +主语)。
We have to get there at eight tomorrow, don't we?
used to,疑问部分用didn't +主语或 usedn't +主语。
He used to take pictures there, didn't he? / usedn't he?
had better(最好) + v. 疑问句部分用hadn't you?
You'd better read it by yourself, hadn't you?
4) 陈述部分有would rather(宁可、宁愿) +v.,疑问部分多用 wouldn't +主语。
He would rather read it ten times than recite it, wouldn't he?
(三)用法:
5) 陈述部分有You'd like to +v. 疑问部分用wouldn't +主语。
You'd like to go with me, wouldn't you?
6) 陈述部分主语是指示代词或不定代词everything, that, nothing, this, 疑问部分主语用it。
Everything is ready, isn't it?
陈述部分主语是不定代词everybody, anyone, somebody, nobody, no one等,疑问部分常用复数they,有时也用单数he.
Everyone knows the answer, don't they? (doesn’t he?)
Nobody knows about it, do they? (does he?)
7) think引导的宾语从句:
A.主语是第一人称
I don't think he is bright, is he?
We believe she can do it better, can't she?
B. 如果主语不是第一人称则疑问部分与主句相对应构成反意疑问句
He thought they were wrong, didn't he? (不能说weren't they?)
8) 省去主语的祈使句的反意疑问句,疑问部分用will you。
Don't do that again, will you?
Go with me, will you / won't you?
Let's 开头的祈使句,后用shall we(或用shan't we) ?
而Let us 开头的祈使句,后用will you(或won't you)?
Let's go and listen to the music, shall we(或用shan't we)?
Let us wait for you in the reading-room, will you (或won't you)?
9) 陈述部分是"there be"结构的,疑问部分用there。
There is something wrong with your watch, isn't there?
There will not be any trouble, will there?
10) 否定前缀不能视为否定词,其反意疑问句仍用否定形式。
It is impossible, isn't it?
He is not unkind to his classmates, is he?
