same time. (Page 2)

3 The telephone is very convenient for communication, and most people in the world today cannot live without
it. (Page 14)

Unit 1
语法指导
及物动词与不及物动词
英语中按照动词后可否直接跟宾语，把动词分成及物动词和不及物动词。及物动词的主要特征就是必须要
有宾语，不及物动词后不能直接加宾语。
一、及物动词常用的句式结构
及物动词的宾语可以是名词、代词、不定式或其他相当于名词的词和短语。及物动词常用于下列句式结构：
1
主＋谓＋宾 (SVO)
He ?nished the work the day before yesterday. 他前天完成了工作。
2 主＋谓＋双宾 (SV + IO + DO)
Mr Li gave me a present for my birthday. 李老师给了我一件生日礼物。
双宾语中的接受者为间接宾语，指物的是直接宾语，一般间接宾语在前，直接宾语在后。如果要把直接宾语
放在前面，就要在间接宾语前用上介词。如：
Mr Li gave a present to me for my birthday.
give, pass, lend, show, send, hand, write, bring, get, mail, offer, pay, promise, read, sell, take, teach等动词后，直接
宾语前置时，要在间接宾语前加上to。如：
He lent me some money. = He lent some money to me. 他借了一点钱给我。
buy, draw, make, build, choose, cook, cut, do, ?nd, ?x, leave, order, reach等动词后，直接宾语前置时, 要在间接宾
语前加上for。如：
Mother bought me a new dress. = Mother bought a new dress for me. 妈妈给我买了条新裙子。
注意：如果直接宾语是代词，则必须前置，间接宾语要放在介词后。如：
Please give it to me. 请把它给我。
3 主＋谓＋宾＋宾补 (SVO + OC)
They asked me to go ?shing with them. 他们请我跟他们一起去钓鱼。
宾语补足语可以由名词、形容词、不定式、分词或介词短语等充当，构成复合宾语，补充说明宾语的特征、
状态、动作或身份。宾语和宾语补足语在逻辑上存在着主谓关系。
(1) call, choose, elect, ?nd, make, name等常接表示身份、官衔、职业、名称等的名词或从句充当宾语补足语。
如：
My pupils often call me Lao Chen. 我的学生们常叫我“老陈”。
(2) cut, beat, drive, ?nd, get, lay, leave, make, paint, pull, push, set, tear, wish等常接形容词充当宾语补足语，表
示由动词的动作引起的状态、情况或导致的结果。如：
What we did made him angry. 我们的行为让他生气了。
(3) advise, ask, order, allow, force, encourage, get, persuade, prefer, require, send, tell, want, wish等常接动词不定
式作宾语补足语，表示“让∕叫∕使某人做某事”的意思。如：
The headmaster advised me to make friends with my pupils. 校长建议我和学生交朋友。
(4) see, hear, feel, watch, notice, observe, smell等感官动词和have, let, make等使役动词后接动词不定式作宾语
补足语时，动词不定式的to要省略。如：
We often see him play football. 我们经常看到他踢足球。
help后接动词不定式作宾语补足语时，to可以省略，也可以不省略。如：
The boy helps his mother (to) do housework at home every day. 男孩天天在家帮妈妈干家务。
(5) 上述感官动词，以及 catch, get, have, keep, leave, send, set等动词后常接动词现在分词作宾语补足语，宾
4

Unit 1
语和补足语之间逻辑上存在着主谓关系。如：
The boy looked out through the window and observed a cat walking along the top of the wall.
男孩望着窗外，看着一只猫走在墙头上。
注意：感官动词后用动词不定式作宾语补足语，表示听到或看见整个行动、整个事件的过程，而用现在
分词作宾语补足语表示听到或看见行动、事件正在进行。
(6) see, hear, feel, watch, notice, need, order, like, want, wish, observe, have, let, make等动词后常接动词过去分词
作宾语补足语，此时宾语是宾语补足语动作的对象。如：
I’ll speak slowly to make myself understood as much as possible.
我会讲得慢一点，以便大家尽可能清楚地明白我的意思。
(7) consider, hear, ?nd, make等动词后接介词短语作宾语补足语，表示宾语的状态或结果。如：
I can see all the kids in the garden. 我能看见所有孩子在花园里。
(8) ?nd, wish, see, let等动词后接副词作宾语补足语。如：
Let me out! 让我出去！
二、不及物动词常用的句式结构
不及物动词后面不跟宾语，只能用于“主＋谓 (SV)”结构，经常与状语连用。如：
I don’t agree. 我不同意。
He didn’t arrive until early the next morning. 他直到第二天一大早才到。
常用的不及物动词有：agree, go, work, listen, look, come, die, belong, fall, exist, rise, arrive, sit, sail, hurry, fail,
succeed等。
三、动词的被动语态
不及物动词没有被动语态，及物动词大多可用于被动语态。注意：
1 sell, wash, break, drive, read, write等词和well / easily等连用时不用被动语态。如：
This new type of TV sells well. 这种新型电视机很畅销。
2 take place, happen, come about, break out, come into being, belong to, suffer from等单词和短语不用于被动语态。
如：
The war broke out in 1931. 战争于1931年爆发。
四、有些动词既是及物动词又是不及物动词
在英语中，有些动词既是及物动词又是不及物动词，并且其意义也没有改变。常见的有：begin, start, answer,
sing, close, consider, insist, read, learn, prepare, pay, hurt, improve等，但有些动词由及物动词变成不及物动词时，
意义变化很大。如：
beat
grow vi. 生长
play vi. 玩耍
smell vi. 发出（气味）
ring vi.（电话、铃）响
vi. 跳动
vt. 敲，打
vt. 种植
vt. 打（牌、球），演奏
vt. 嗅
vt. 打电话
speak vi. 讲话
vt. 说（语言）
vt. 操作
operate vi. 动手术

一课一练
Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于手机与健康的文章，回答下列问题
Mobile phone technology is quickly changing the way the world operates. Today, we talk about two new projects
involving mobile health, also known as m-health.
Doctors and technology experts in London are developing a new way to test for sexual infections (性传染病). The
new device uses mobile phones and computers to help people ?nd out if they have been infected with a sexual disease.
People will be able to perform the test in the privacy of their own homes. People place urine (尿) or saliva (唾液) on
a small piece of test paper. They place the test paper in a small device that contains a computer chip. Then they place
the device in their mobile phone for testing. Within minutes, they receive information telling them if they have a sexual
disease. And they receive advice on what to do next.
Claudia Estcourt is part of the research team working on the project.
CLAUDIA ESTCOURT: “This isn’t designed to replace traditional clinics. This is really opening testing up to
people who might ?nd it embarrassing or dif?cult to get into their clinic. And this might be a much quicker, easier choice
for them—that they can be sure to get very accurate results.”
Dr Estcourt says the project is still seven to ten years away from completion. But she says it holds great promise
for the future: “Clearly, this new technology can be used in developing countries: maybe for testing for HIV, maybe for
testing for tuberculosis, or perhaps even malaria.”
Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada are studying a mobile phone system that may help people with
diabetes control their blood pressure. The system collects blood pressure readings from home testing devices that have
wireless technology. The readings are then sent to a health-care monitoring system. Patients receive a mobile phone
message telling them how they are doing. If their blood pressure is too high, they are advised to make an appointment
with their doctor. Several high readings will cause the system to automatically contact the doctor.
1 Do people have to perform the test for sexual infections in hospital?
2 How can people know whether they have a sexual disease?
3 Can mobile phone technology take the place of traditional clinics?
4 What are the advantages of this new technology?
5 Has this project been carried out for many years?
6 What other ways can this technology be used besides testing for sexual infection?
7 What’s the text mainly about?
8 What’s Dr Estcourt’s attitude towards this project?

Unit 2
一课一练
Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于青霉素的发现过程的文章，根据短文内容判断正误
For a long time, health care was often dangerous and risky. Treatments were neither scienti?c nor effective, and
many patients suffered deadly infections (感染) as a result of operations. In fact, even a small cut could cause an
infection that would kill the patient. In the early twentieth century, a doctor in London found a chemical that would
change hospitals and health care forever. The discovery is a story of hard work and a happy accident.
In 1914, World War I started and Fleming had to go to France to treat soldiers. During the war, Fleming noticed
that many soldiers died from simple infections. Because he had been able to treat infections in his patients in London,
Fleming thought that there must be a chemical that could ?ght infections in the soldiers’ wounds. He invented many new
ways to treat the wounded, but it was not until after the war that he made his most important discovery.
When Fleming returned from the war, he began searching for the chemical he believed could treat infections. His
?rst discovery was a chemical found in many body liquids, such as tears. This chemical was able to ?ght mild infections,
but it was not strong enough to cure serious infections. Fleming continued his search until a fortunate incident led him to
a new discovery of even greater signi?cance. One day in 1928, Fleming was cleaning up the lab after coming home from
a holiday. On a bench by the sink, he found some old glass containers in which he had been growing bacteria. As he was
washing the jars and lids, he saw something strange. In one of the jars, a mould was growing. The existence of the mould
did not surprise Fleming, but he also noticed that the bacteria around the mould had died and stopped growing. Could
this be the chemical he was looking for?
Fleming examined the mould carefully. He found out which family of moulds it belonged to and decided to call the
chemical “penicillin”. He was excited about his discovery and wrote about it in 1929, but other scientists did not seem to
care. Despite their lack of interest, Fleming kept trying to develop the chemical so that it would be safe and effective.
It was not until World War II that the importance of Fleming’s discovery was fully recognized. By then, Fleming
and two other scientists had developed a kind of penicillin that was very effective in curing infections. The chemical, the
“good mould”, saved many lives during the war and has continued to ?ght diseases ever since. In 1945, Sir Alexander
Fleming received the Nobel Prize together with two other scientists. When asked about his discovery, Sir Alexander
Fleming said, “One sometimes ?nds what one is not looking for.”
1 Before the discovery of “penicillin”, treatment of infections had already been effective.
2 Fleming believed that there was some certain chemical which could treat infections.
3 Fleming was able to convince other scientists that his discovery was important.
4 Fleming’s discovery was the result of his intelligence and sense of responsibility.
