Step I Introduction
T: Last year, I went to Hainan by plane. That was my first time to travel by plane. I was very excited. I looked out of the window to see the sights below me; sometimes I talked to other passengers to express my excitement. Have you ever been to Hainan
S1: Yes, I have been there twice.
T: How did you get there
S1: By plane. You know it’s far away from here, but it only takes about 2 hours if you travel by plane.
S2: I went there last summer holiday with my parents. We went there by train. I enjoyed the scenery on the way very much.
T: Yes. There are different means of transport. Some take shorter time while some are safer and more pleasant. You may choose the one that will satisfy your special needs. Now please turn to P21. There are some pictures of different means of transport. I think you know most of them very well. Who’d like to explain the three words on the blackboard Do you know what kind of vehicles they are
Write the following three words on the blackboard.
helicopter ferry tram
Let the Ss look them up in their dictionaries and try to get the meanings.
T: What is a helicopter
S1: An aircraft with large metal blades on top that spin and lift it into the air.
T: How about ferry
S2: A boat that makes short regular trips between two or more places. e.g. There is no ferry service to the island in the winter.
T: And tram
S3: A long narrow vehicle that travels along metal tracks in the middle of a street and is used as public transportation in some places.
T: Very good. Now please match the words in the box with the pictures.
A few minutes later, check the answers with the whole class.
T: Among these vehicles, some travel on roads, some on water, some on rails and also some in the air. Now please classify them.
Ask one student to write the classification on the blackboard.
On roads: bicycle, bus, taxi and motorbike
On rails: train and tram
In the air: plane and helicopter
On water: ferry
T: Quite good! Now I’d like you to judge what verbs on the screen go with these vehicles. Make sentences by putting the right ones together.
Show the following verbs on the screen.
get on, get off, get into, get out of, ride, drive, take off, land, take
Sample sentences:
1. I got on the bus at Xiayuan bus station and got off at Dananmen bus station.
2. I rode the bicycle downtown to visit one of my friends last weekend.
3. Hurry up! The plane takes off at five o’clock. You are getting late.

5. He drives to work everyday.
6. The plane landed on Hongqiao airport after 10 hours’ flight.
7. I got up late this morning and had to take a taxi to my office.
Step II Listening
First of all, get the Ss to guess the answers to the questions in Activity 1 on P27. Then let them listen to the tape. For the first time, let them listen carefully and get the general idea. For the second time, let them answer the questions according to what they hear.
T: Now let us turn to Listening. In this part, a 90-year-old silent movie actress was interviewed about her career and her life. She was born in England but went to America to make films in the 1930s. First let’s look at the questions in Activity 1 on P27. I’ll give you 3 minutes to discuss with your partners to guess the answers to these questions. Have you got it
Ss: Yes.
Three minutes later, the Ss give different answers.
T: Are your answers right Now listen to the tape and check your answers. Then finish Activity 2.
Check the answers to Activity 2 with the whole class.
Step III Listening and Speaking
T: Now let’s turn to P83. You are going to hear a person describing his journey. Before you listen to the tape, look at the pictures. Guess what happened during his journey and then try to number the pictures.
The Ss read the pictures carefully and think about the story. Then play the tape for the first time.
T: OK, now you must have a general idea of the story. What was his journey like Did he enjoy his journey
Ss: His journey was terribly bad.
T: Right. He really had a bad experience. Let’s listen to it again and number the pictures.
Play the tape again, then check the answers.
T: Look at the phrases in Exercise 12, P84. Work in pairs and tell the man’s story by using these phrases.
Show the following phrases on the screen and ask the Ss to retell the man’s story in the first person.
took a train, broke down, rush hour, traffic jam, missed the plane, got on another flight, bad weather, landed in Bangkok, arrived 12 hours late
A sample version:
I’ll never forget the first time I took a long-distance flight. First of all, I took a train from my home to London airport. But the train broke down. I was afraid of missing the plane, so I took a taxi to the airport. It was rush hour and the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam. When I finally got to the airport I missed the flight by ten minutes. I had to wait for another flight to Singapore. Unfortunately after I waited for three hours in the airport, the airline cancelled that flight. I finally got on a flight to Singapore, but because of bad weather my plane landed in Bangkok airport. We had to sit in the plane at Bangkok airport. It took off again three hours later and I finally arrived in Singapore 12 hours later.
Step IV Pronunciation
T: Do you know word stress in sentences Generally speaking, word stress means in a sentence, some words are stressed and the others are not stressed. For example, nouns, verbs and adjectives are usually stressed in a sentence, but pronouns, articles and prepositions are not stressed in a sentence. Now listen to the tape and underline the words which are stressed.
The Ss listen and underline the words.
T: Now read after the tape and pay special attention to word stress.
Step V Function
Let the Ss read the conversation between a ticket inspector and a passenger on a train. Then answer the questions in Activity 2 on P25. After that, use polite expressions to rewrite the conversation.
T: Turn to P24, read the conversation. / Now would you please turn to P24 and read the conversation Any difference between the two expressions I just used Which sounds more polite and friendly
Ss: The second expression sounds more polite and friendly.
T: You are right. Don’t forget to use polite expressions when you talk to others. Now would you please read the conversation between a ticket inspector and a passenger on a train After you read it, discuss the questions in Activity 2.
A few minutes later.
T: Who would like to answer the first question
S1: Let me try. He is very rude and impolite.
T: The second question
S2: We may use expressions such as “May I have your ticket please ” to change it.
T: You are right. There are many other expressions that can be used to express politeness. Look at the expressions in Activity 3. Use them to rewrite the conversation between the ticket inspector and the passenger.
A sample dialogue:
Ticket inspector: Excuse me, could I see your ticket
Passenger: Pardon
Ticket inspector: Would you mind showing me your
ticket
Passenger: I’m sorry, I don’t understand.
Ticket inspector: Would you mind if I saw your ticket
Passenger: Oh, here you are.
Ticket inspector: I’m very sorry but this is an old ticket.
Passenger: Pardon
Ticket inspector: The fact is that it’s out of date. It’s a month old.
Passenger: Oh, sorry, that’s the ticket I used last week.
Ticket inspector: Where’s your ticket
Passenger: Here it is.
Ticket inspector: Right.
T: Now, look at Activity 4, make the conversation longer by using more of the questions listed below. Work in pairs. One pair will be asked to act out your conversation.
A sample conversation:
Passenger: Is it possible to open the window I need some fresh air.
Ticket inspector: Sure, let me do it.
Passenger: Would you mind telling me where I change to get to the nearest airport
Ticket inspector: You may get off at next station and take the bus there.
Passenger: Thank you very much.
Ticket inspector: You are welcome. Enjoy the rest of the day!
Step VI Everyday English

T: We have listened to an interview with a movie actress. In the interview, the speakers used the expressions in the box. Do you remember Why does the interviewer use these expressions Anybody
S1: In my opinion, the first expression is a friendly way of introducing a question, while the other three are ways of responding to Mary’s answers.

Step II Lead-in
T: As we know, with the development of tourism, travel becomes very convenient and it has become a very important part in people’s life. Many people travel everywhere during the holiday. Today I’ll take you to a beautiful country — Australia.
Show the pictures about Australia on the screen. Ask the Ss to say one or two sentences about Australia. Then ask them some questions about Australia.
T: Boys and girls now please look at the three pictures and say something about Australia.

S3: Australia is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent.
S4: The most famous animal is the Kangaroo. It has become the symbol of Australia.
S5: Australia has more sheep than people, so it is a country built on the backs of sheep.

Show the following questions on the screen:
1. How many people live in Australia

Step III Reading
T: Before we read the text, let’s look at the words in Activity 2 on P22. Match some of the words in the box with the 6 definitions. If you are not sure, you can turn to your dictionary for help.
Check the answers after the Ss finish it.
T: Look at the picture on P23. Where is the train heading And where does the story take place Now read the passage quickly and get a general idea about it.
A few minutes later.
T: What’s the passage about
S1: It’s about Alice’s traveling to the central part of Australia. It was her first ride on a long-distance train. She described her journey and the scenery she saw on the way.
T: You are quite right. Now please read the text again and find the answers to the questions in Activity 4 on P24.
Sample answers:
1. Recently Alice traveled on a long-distance train.
2. Her destination was the central part of Australia.
3. The scenery was not the same during the whole journey. For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey, the scenery was colorful; after that, it was desert; and then they saw abandoned farms which were built long time ago.
4 She read books and listened to her Chinese cassettes while she was on the train.
5. The Australians used camels to travel to the central part of the country.
6. They don’t use camels to deliver goods now. They use railway instead.
T: All of you did a good job. Do you still remember the passage we heard in last period It was about the man’s first long-distance flight.
Ss: Yes. The man in the passage came across many kinds of bad things on the way to Singapore from the very beginning to the end. When he finally reached the destination, it was l2 hours later. So he felt the journey was very boring.
T: Very good. For today’s reading passage, what did the writer think of her first journey Did she enjoy herself during the journey
Ss: The writer’s name is Alice Thompson. She thought her first train ride was wonderful. So she had a good time during the journey.
Step IV Listening and Explanation
This process is meant to improve the Ss’ pronunciation and solve some language points.
T: We have got the general understanding of the passage. Now I’ll play the tape for you, listen carefully and imitate the pronunciation, and at the same time, pay attention to the sentences that you don’t understand.
Walk around the classroom to see if the Ss need help.
T: Do you have any questions
S: I don’t understand this sentence “Suddenly, it looks like a place from another time”.
T: This sentence means suddenly, it looks as if the place changed into another place from another time. Here “look like” means having the appearance of sb or sth. For example: It looks like rain. Or we can say: It looks as if it is going to rain.
Let the Ss pay attention to the different usages of look. Show the following on the screen.
She looked but saw nothing.
She looked at the actor curiously.
Who looked after the baby when her mother was working
Mrs Li looked around the classroom to see who was absent.
Father looked in the newspaper to see what was on at the People’s Grand Hall.
The traveler looked into the distance and finally saw a car coming.
Looking into the future, we are full of confidence.
Why are you looking out of the window from time to time
What are you looking for
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Why are you always looking back Look forward and you will have a much better life.
She looks cheerful and healthy.
S: We ate great meals cooked by experts. What does “great” here mean
T: “Great” here means “delicious”. For example: Yesterday they ate a great meal cooked by their mother.
S: Can you tell me what’s the difference between “be short for” and “be short of”
T: “Be short for” means serving as an abbreviation of sth. While “be short of” means not having much or enough of sth; lacking sth. For example:
“Ben” is usually short for “Benjamin”. China is short of arable land. Are you clear
Ss: Yes.
T: Any questions
Ss: No.
T: OK. So much for language points. Next, who would like to summarize the writing style of the passage
S: I will try. I think this passage is a travel note. At the beginning of the passage, the writer tells when and where their travel took place, and then she describes the scenery all the journey, and at last she explains the origin of Ghan train and means of transport for traveling a long distance in the past.
Step V Discussion
In this process, divide the Ss into four groups, one question for two groups. Show the two questions on the screen.
Questions:
1. What sort of people do you think travel on the Ghan train
2. What kind of towns and villages do you think the train passed
T: Now, boys and girls, are you ready for discussing the two questions on the screen Question 1 for Group 1 and Group 2.
S1: We think young students who are having a holiday travel on the Ghan train. They like traveling on the train. On the one hand, as students, they don’t have enough money. Traveling on a train is much cheaper than traveling on a plane. On the other hand, traveling on a train is relatively safer than traveling on other vehicles.
S2: In our opinion, a group of Chinese tourists travel on the Ghan train. They want to see Australia. On the train they can enjoy the colorful scenery on the way. Besides, traveling on the train is very comfortable and they can also talk to other passengers on the train to improve their spoken English.
T: Very good. Question 2 for Group 3 and Group 4.
S3: We consider that the towns and villages the train passed are wild, because the central part of Australia is desert and there are no people living there.
S4: We don’t agree with them. In our opinion, maybe some villages and towns are abandoned, but these should be in the middle. Alice travels from Sydney, which is on the coast. So there must be prosperous towns and villages on the way.
T: All of you did a good job. Maybe some students have different ideas. That’s OK. You may search on the Internet to get more information after class. Traveling is to experience and to learn more about other parts of the world and people who are leading a quite different life. Tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with great opportunities to see everything all over the world. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and the global travel has put it in the spot light. One day when you have the chance to travel abroad, don’t forget to write a travel note, and share it with your classmates.

Step I Revision
T: Good morning / afternoon, class! Yesterday we learned a passage about My First Ride on a Train. Now I’d like you to retell the passage. Who’d like to have a try
S: Let me try. Alice Thompson, who comes from Sydney, had her first ride on a long-distance train. Her destination was Alice Springs, right in the middle of Australia. The train was wonderful and the food was great. She enjoyed different scenery on the way. She was very excited and quite enjoyed the journey. During the journey, she also learned some knowledge. She knew why the train was called the Ghan and that camels used to be the main means of transport for traveling a long distance in the past.
T: Quite good. Now please show me the sentences that contain the -ed form in the passage.
S: We ate great meals cooked by experts.
We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago.
Trained camels carried food and other supplies.
T: Very good. In this period, we’ll learn a new grammar — the -ed form used as adjective.
Step II The -ed form
Show the above three sentences on the screen.
T: Now look at these three sentences on the screen. Trained, abandoned and cooked are adjectives, but they are also past participles of verbs. What are the infinitives of the verbs
S: Train, abandon and cook.
T: Look at the order of these words. The first one is noun + adjective. What is the word order of the other two words
S: They are both adjective + noun.
T: Why are they different Why is it “meals cooked by experts” and not “cooked meals by experts” Any ideas
Ss: No.
T: Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to you. When we use past participle as attribute, if it is a single word, we put it before the noun, but if this word is followed by some phrases such as adverbial phrases or prepositional phrases etc., we put it behind the noun. Are you clear
Ss: Yes.
T: I’ll give you more sentences. Look at the following sentences on the screen. Find out the similarities and differences between them.
Show the following sentences on the screen.
1. a. Trained students won the match.

2. a. This is the finished homework.
b. This is the homework finished by Li Kang.
3. a. I saw a painted new house in the distance.
b. I saw a new house painted white in the distance.
S: In the “a” sentences, the -ed form: trained, finished and painted are all put before nouns. In the “b” sentences, all of the -ed form are put behind nouns, because they are followed by phrases.
T: You are right. Now try to give more sentences with the -ed form.
Ss: Let’s go to the bookstore opened last month.
I don’t like to go to supermarkets crowded with shoppers.
The three injured students were sent to hospital.
Tom can’t go to school because of his broken leg.
T: You did a good job. Let’s do more practice. Turn to P79, and finish Exercises 1 and 2.
After a while, check the answers with the whole class.
T: Now look at the screen, compare the -ed form with the -ing form of verbs.
Show the following practice on the screen.
a. The man disturbing the other workers is called James Smith.
The man disturbed by the other workers is called James Smith.
b. The teenagers discussing the event in the TV talk show were all school
children.
The teenagers discussed in the TV talk show were all school children.

A few days ago, I traveled by bus to meet a friend of mine who now lives in another city. That morning, I got up very early and after having a wash, I hurried to the bus station. Luckily, there were still some seats left. I bought the ticket and seated myself in the bus. I listened to my MP3 and expected the bus to start. At last, the bus was on its way. I looked out of the window and enjoyed the scenery on the way. Sometimes, I talked with other passengers about the changes taking place in these years. After about two and a half hours, I reached my destination. I said goodbye to others and got off the bus.

Sample version 1:
My First Family Holiday
The first family holiday I can remember was when I was five. We all went to Dalian for our holiday. At six o’clock in the morning, we went to the railway station and took a train to Dalian. It took us six hours to get there.
When we got there, we first settled in a hotel. Then we went out to look for a restaurant to have a meal. The next morning, we took a bus to the seaside. My parents went swimming while I played on the beach with buckets and spades. At lunchtime, we ate marine food by the seaside. At night, we went to the entertainment room.
We all had a lovely holiday and didn’t want to go home from our first holiday. Then my parents promised me we would have more holidays.
Sample version 2:
My First Train Ride
Last summer holiday my parents and I went to Qingdao by train. Early in the morning that day we went to the supermarket and bought a lot of drinks and food because the things on the train are very expensive. Then we took a taxi to the railway station. At about 8:30 we got on the train. The train was comfortable. On the train some passengers were playing cards, some were talking and some were walking around. I even saw a foreigner talking with a Chinese student to practice his Chinese. I sat near the window and a pretty girl sat opposite me. After a while we knew each other well and we talked happily. I sometimes looked out of the window and enjoyed the scenery on the way. After a long time I fell very tired, so I fell asleep with the sound of “click, click”.
At about 8:00 pm we got to Qingdao, where we had a good time. But I will never forget my first train ride, which was very comfortable and exciting.
Sample version 3:
The Most Unusual Journey
Last month, our class made a journey to visit Martyrs’ Tombs on the top of Niu Touzhai. That was the most unusual journey I’ve made in my life.
That morning, our headmaster gathered the whole class at the gate of school and told us some rules when we got there. It took us 20 minutes to walk there. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, the guide first explained the deeds that the martyrs did during the war, then he guided us to visit the exhibition of tools which the martyrs had used and some photos during the war. After that we went to the top of the mountain, where there were tombs. In front of the tombs is a tower, which is nearly 20 meters high. The natives called it “the Key Tower” because it looks like a key.
In the evening, we went back to our school. Although we felt tired, we learned a lot from this unusual journey. All of us felt we must value our happy life.
Sample version 4:
The Best Journey of My Life
I have made a lot of journeys in my life. But the journey to a forest to study the wildlife is the best journey in my life.
Last Monday our class went on an organized trip to a forest to study the wildlife. We traveled by bus. It took us two and a half hours to get to the forest. When we arrived, we were given printed question papers. We had to fill in the answers.
The purpose of this trip was to record all the wildlife and plants that we could find in the forest. The gate into the forest was open, so we entered it. We all started to look for new types of plants. At noon all of us had found some new plants. After we had our picnic lunch in the forest, we all went off separately to look for new plants. At 5:00 we started walking back to the entrance to the forest. All of us felt happy.

A sample version:
The first time I went away from home without my parents was when I was fifteen, when I graduated from my Junior Middle school. I went on a holiday to Sichuan with my friends.
On the first day we got up at five o’clock. First, we went to Leshan, where we climbed all the way up to the mountain to see the Buddha. The Buddha was really very big: taller than the highest building in our village. Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet made us feel so small. Wei Bin took photos of us standing in front of the Buddha.
The next morning, we climbed Mount Emei. There were many old temples and the forest on the mountain that was very beautiful. The wild monkeys were the most exciting things on Mount Emei. They were not afraid of people at all. In a second they would come to you and touch you. The monkeys really liked to touch my hair. Xiao Hua took a photo of a monkey which was sitting on my head. The monkeys looked gentle, but they could be very naughty. A small monkey suddenly put its hand in Xiao Hua’s pocket. Wei Bin took out some peanuts and it was fun to see the monkey eat from his hand.
Finally, towards evening we were on the way back to Chengdu. We were all tired and slept on the bus, but our trip to Sichuan was really unforgettable.

II. 文化背景知识
Means of transportation for traveling
People who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading may help you kill time but soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day, sleep never lasts long. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you find you can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat, you spend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head, and when you finally arrive at the station, you are so tired that you don’t want to leave.
Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is impossible even to read. On motorways, you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speed, but more often, the great part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy (不平的) roads which are crowded with traffic.
When traveling by sea, you have a different experience. You can have a walk on the board, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food, and of course, only when the sea is calm. If it is not, you are likely to get seasick, and you will find no journey can be worse than that. Even if you travel in good weather, sea journey takes a long time. Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of traveling on a ship.
Traveling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people, and, it is also the most expensive of all traveling forms, though nothing can match with planes for speed and comfort. Flying at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination freshly and easily. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering (恢复) from a long and tiring journey.
Travel: benefit or problem
People usually travel for many reasons. Some are looking for culture, and some simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. However, most European travelers prefer to have a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London and Amsterdam spend much of their winters in the dark because the days are so short and much of the years is in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to the Mediterranean for their holidays. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.
Spain’s long coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million travelers visit there every year.
On the other hand, sometimes tourism can also cause problems. For example, too many travelers can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the natives. If travelers create too much traffic, the natives become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike travelers and treat them impolitely. It is important to think about the people of the destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should also advance the health and happiness of local people.
Too much tourism also can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourist industry. This means that other industries of the country will suffer from this.
Maglevs (Magnetically levitated trains)
Introduction
The principle of a Magnet train is that it floats on a magnetic field and is propelled by a linear induction motor. They follow guidance tracks with magnets. These trains are often referred to Magnetically Levitated trains which are abbreviated to MagLev. Although maglevs don’t use steel wheel on steel rail usually associated with trains, the dictionary definition of a train is a long line of vehicles traveling in the same direction — it is a train.
How it works
Maglev train floats about 10mm above the guide way on a magnetic field. It is propelled by the guide way itself rather than an onboard engine by changing magnetic fields (see right). Once the train is pulled into the next section of the magnetism switches, the train is pulled on again. The electro-magnets run the length of the guide way.
What are the advantages of Maglev
The primary advantage is maintenance. Because the train floats where are no contact with the ground and therefore no need for any moving parts. As a result, there are no components that would wear out. This means in theory trains and track would need no maintenance at all. The second advantage is that because maglev trains float, there is no friction. Note that there will still be air resistance. The third advantage is less noise, because there are no wheels running along, there is no wheel noise. However, noises due to air disturbance still occur. The final advantage is speed, as a result of the three previous listed it is more viable for maglev trains to travel extremely fast, i.e. 500km/h or 300mph. Although this is possible with conventional rails, it is not economically viable. Another advantage is that the guide way can be made a lot thicker in places, e.g. after stations and going uphill, which would mean a maglev could get up to 300km/h (186mph) in only 5km where currently takes 18km. Also greater gradients would be applicable.
What are the disadvantages of Maglev
There are several disadvantages of maglev trains. Maglev guide paths are bound to be more costly than conventional steel railways. The other main disadvantage is lacking in existing infrastructure. For example, if a high-speed line between two cities is built, then high-speed trains can serve both cities but more importantly they can serve other nearby cities by running on normal railways that branch off the high-speed line. The high-speed trains could go for a fast run on the high-speed line, and then come off it for the rest of the journey. Maglev trains wouldn’t be able to do that; they would be limited where maglev lines run. This would mean it would be very difficult to make construction of maglev lines commercially viable unless there were two very large destinations being connected. Of the 5,000km that TGV trains serve in France, only about 1,200km is high-speed line, meaning 75% of TGV services run on existing track. The fact that a maglev train will not be able to continue beyond its track may seriously hinder its usefulness.一般过去时的用法
1)在确定的过去时间里所发生的动作或存在的状态。
时间状语有:yesterday, last week, an hour ago, the other day, in 1982 last year, last night, just now, then, two days ago, at that time等。但是一般过去时也经常用在没有说明过去的时间状语的句子中,这是高考的命题方向。例如:

【词条1】distance
【课文原句】Camels were much better than horses for traveling a long distance. (Page 23)
【点拨】distance在本句中的意思是“距离”。这句话的意思是“骆驼在远距离旅行上要优于马”。再如:
There is little distance between my home and the school.
【拓展】与distance有关的常见短语有:
(1) at / from a distance“从远处,遥远的”;

【拓展】辨析:scenery, sight, view这三个词均含有“风景,景色”的意思,但它们各自的侧重点有所不同:
(1)scenery指某地总的自然风景或景色,尤指美丽的乡间景色,是不可数名词。如:
The scenery as one travels by boat along the Yellow River is very beautiful.
(2)sight则既可以指场景、眼前看到的景观,又可以指名胜、风景,表示后者的含义时,必须要用复数形式。如:
We are going to London for the weekend to see the sights.
(3)view通常指从远处或高处看到的景观、景物。如:

The village is short of water.
【短语2】not … any more
【课文原句】… so they didn’t need the camels any more. (Page 23)
【点拨】not…any more表示“不再”。这句话的意思是“……所以他们不再需要骆驼了”。再如:
Why doesn’t she speak to me any more
【拓展】no longer / not … any longer, no more / not … any more都含有“不再”的意思,但它们的用法却不相同。
no longer / not … any longer强调时间和动作的延续,常与表示状态的动词和延续性动词连用,如live, wait, stay, be 等。常用现在时。如:
He’s no longer living here. (= He doesn’t live here any longer. )
no more / not … any more 则强调数量、次数上不再增加,强调动作终止的结果,因此常与名词或瞬间动词如hear, see, leave等连用。常用将来时或过去时。如:
Li Lei wanted no more money from his parents. (= Li Lei didn’t want money from his parents any more. )
He said he would go there no more. (= He said he wouldn’t go there any more. )
重点语法聚焦
过去分词作定语用法小结
一般情况下,形容词常常在句中作定语,但是在模块3中我们却多看到下面的情况:We saw abandoned farms which were more than a hundred years ago.
Trained camels carried food and other supplies.
上面例子中出现的过去分词均在句中作定语,过去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式,可在句中作定语修饰名词。本期“攻克要点”我们就帮大家一起来归纳总结一下过去分词作定语的情况。
1. 过去分词作定语时的位置
单个的过去分词作定语时,一般将其放在被修饰词之前,有时单个的过去分词也可以作后置定语,用以强调动作。如:
They needed much more qualified teachers.
We decided to change the material used.
过去分词短语作定语要放在被修饰词的后面,作后置定语,其作用相当于一个定语从句。如:The girl dressed in red is my sister. (= The girl who is dressed in red is my sister.)
Is there anything planned for tonight (= Is there anything that has been planned for tonight )
2.过去分词作定语表示动作在谓语动作之前发生,已经完成并且与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的动词关系,具有被动意义。作定语的过去分词由及物动词变化而来。如:
The book written by this young man was a great success.
Have you finished the exercises given by professor Li
注意:由于不及物动词后不可以直接跟宾语,所以不及物动词的过去分词作定语只表示动作的完成,而没有被动的意义。如:
My grandma is cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.
3.现在分词作定语和过去分词作定语的区别
现在分词作定语时,它与被修饰词之间是主谓关系,即被修饰词是分词动作的执行者。分词所表示的时间一般应与句中的谓语动词所表示的时间相同,但当现在分词表示经常性或瞬间动作的时候,二者所表示的时间应相同。如:
The girl sitting at the desk is good at English. (= The girl who is sitting at the desk is good at English.)
He lives in a room facing the south. (= He lives in a room that faces the south.)I. 根据下列各句句意及所给单词的首字母,写出该单词的正确形式。
1. C_______ tape recorders are out of date now.
2. She lost the d_______ necklace that she borrowed from one of her friends.
3. The mountain s_______ was so beautiful that the tourists stopped to take pictures.
4. It used to be a three-day j_______ on a train from Jinan to Harbin.
5. The scientist decided to live in the Sahara D_______ for some time in order to finish his report.
II. 用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
1. After his failure in the examination last week, he _______ himself completely to drinking. (abandon)
2. Luckily, they finally found new markets for their _______. (produce)
3. These dogs are _______ to look for drugs. (train)
4. He was _______ in the back while he was trying to escape. (shoot)
5. Seeing that the thief _______ a bus, the policeman stopped a taxi and _______ it. (get on / get into)
III. 根据括号中的汉语提示完成下列句子。
1. The ____________ (毁坏的房子) will be rebuilt next month.
2. He stayed in America for a whole year. ____________ (在这一年期间), his oral English was improved.
3. There were few people who went to college ____________ (在20世纪70年代).
4. VOA ____________ (是……的简称) the Voice of America.
5. Last night my parents waited up for me till ____________ (午夜).
IV. 根据括号内的提示翻译下列句子。

单项填空题是一种容量大,考查面广的考试题型,涉及语法、词汇、句法、交际等多方面的知识。不少单项填空题题干结构和备选答案迷惑性很强,似曾相识的题干易使考生受思维定势影响而做出错误判断。因此,考生解题时应排除思维定势干扰,认真分析似曾相识的题干是否有什么变化,并尽可能弄清来龙去脉,从而成功解题。
1. 细察时间信息,准确把握时态
① —What do you think of the coffee
—It tastes strange! It isn’t like anything I ______ before.
② —What do you think of the coffee
—It tasted strange! It wasn’t like anything I ______ before.
A. had B. have had
C. had had D. was having
【解析】这两道题的差别在于taste所采用的时态。第①题中由tastes可以知道before所指的时间是“现在之前”,故选B;第②题中的tasted是一个比较关键的信息点,据此可以确定before所指的时间为“过去之前”,所以应用过去完成时,所以选C。
③ She ______ a new book last year, but I don’t know if she has finished it.
④ She ______ a new book last year, and it will be published soon.
A. has been writing B. wrote
C. was writing D. had written
【解析】这两道题的时间状语皆为last year,但后面句子提供的信息则完全不同,第③题意为“她去年一直在写书,但我不知道她写完没有”,强调过去一段时间内一直在做某事,用过去进行时,故选C;第④题中it will be published soon表明书已经写完了,所以它表示的是“她去年写了一本书”,答案是B。
2. 连词、代词不可小看,有无大不相同
① All my homework ______, so I went out to play football with other boys.
② All my homework ______, I went out to play football with other boys.
A. having finished B. had been finished
C. finished D. finishing
【解析】在单项填空题的解题过程中,连词有时扮演着至关重要的作用。在第①题中,so的存在表明前后是互为因果关系的两个句子,所以答案应为B;而在第②题中,根据句子结构的分析,前面应为独立主格结构作状语,C为正确答案。
③ It was such a difficult problem ______ no one could work out.
④ It was such a difficult problem ______ no one could work it out.
A. that B. as C. which D. what
【解析】这两题都是关于such的搭配问题。一般而言,such通常可与as或that组成固定结构,但as和that引导的句子功能和它们本身在句中所起的作用是完全不同的。such ... as ... 结构中as引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语、宾语或表语;而such ... that ... 结构中that引导结果状语从句,且在从句中不作任何成分。根据以上分析,我们可以看到以上两题的区别就在于it的有无,即宾语的缺失与否,所以第③、④题的正确答案应分别为B和A。
3. 仔细分析结构,恰当使用连词
① —Dad, can I go out to play basketball with my classmates
—I’m afraid you can’t ______ your homework is being done.
② —Dad, can I go out to play basketball with my classmates
—I’m afraid you can’t ______ your homework is done.
A. after B. until C. as D. when
【解析】通过分析,我们可以发现这两道题的差别在于从句所使用的时态不同,从而导致它们所体现的逻辑关系也有很大的差异。第①题意为“你不能出去因为你正在做作业”,所以答案为C;第②题意为“你做完作业之前不能出去”,答案为B。
③ It was the village ______ the scientists found some ancient tombs.
④ It was in the village ______ the scientists found some ancient tombs.
A. where B. that
C. the place D. the place where
【解析】通过对比分析,我们可以看出第③题中空格后面为定语从句,且从句中缺少地点状语,所以答案为A;而第④题则为强调句型,答案为B。类似的考题经常在考试中出现,解答此类题时一定要认真分析句子结构,从而准确答题。
4. 似是而实不是,还原一举得解
① Is this school ______ they visited last week
② Is this the school ______ they visited last week
③ Is this the school ______ they visited the modern equipment last week
A. the one B. the one where
C. where D. that
还原法是解答单项填空题比较常见的解题技巧。我们首先将其还原成以下形式:
① This school is ______ they visited last week.
② This is the school ______ they visited last week.
③ This is the school ______ they visited the modern equipment last week.
【解析】根据还原的句子结构,我们可以确定:第①题的答案为A,the one充当表语,其后是省略了关系词that的一个定语从句;第②题为that引导的定语从句,答案为D;第③题较为简单,就是where引导的定语从句,答案为C。
5. 把握动作时机,选择正确形式
① —Has Tom come
—Yes. With him ______ me, I am sure I can finish all the work as planned.
② —Has Tom come
—No, he will come tomorrow. With him ______ me, I am sure I can finish all the work as planned.
A. to help B. helping
C. helped D. having helped
【解析】使用非谓语动词的何种形式要从两个方面考虑,一是动作的主动和被动,二是动作的时机,即:将要进行、正在进行还是已经完成?从第①题中Yes的回答我们可以知道Tom“已经来了”并且“正在帮助”我,所以要体现动作正在进行,答案为B;而根据第②题的回答我们可以看出Tom的帮忙是“将要”发生的事情,所以答案为A。
6. 重视标点的作用,细析结构解题
① Which material can be thrown into the sea ______ its nature
② Which material can be thrown into the sea ______ its nature.
A. depends on B. depending on
C. to depend on D. depend on
【解析】根据第①题后的问号我们可以得知该句的主语为Which material,谓语部分为can be thrown into the sea,所以“______ its nature”在句中充当状语,因此答案为B,句意为“根据性质,哪种材料可以被扔到海里呢?”;而第②题中的句号表明该句的主语为从句Which material can be thrown into the sea,空缺部分为句子的谓语,所以答案为A,句意为“哪种材料可以被扔到海里取决于它的性质”。
③ ______ is reported in the newspaper that the terrible flood has caused a damage of 10 million yuan.
④ ______ is reported in the newspaper, the terrible flood has caused a damage of 10 million yuan.
A. It B. This C. That D. As
【解析】第③题中that引导主语从句,因此前面用It作形式主语,构成固定句型:It is reported that ...,答案为A;第④题中的逗号是解题的关键,它告诉我们这里不再是我们通常熟知的结构,而是一个As引导的非限制性定语从句,答案应为D。Module 3 单元测试

Then comes July, and with it examinations, but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months’ holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.
The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpoor or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that make the seaside what it is.
36. After the examination, all pupils leave for home________
A. by train only B. by air
C. by bike D. by either train or car
37. The summer holiday lasts_______.
A. as long as two months B. more than two months
C. one and a half months D. a little less than 2 months
38. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can_____.
A. stay with their parents for all the vacation. B. do more reading
C .play out-of-door D. meet their old friends
39. Children like the seaside so much, because they can ______.
A. swim in the sea B. play with the sand
C. take a sun bath D. do all of
B

在学习英语的过程中,大部分初学者都感到单词难记、难学。然而,要学好英语必须掌握大量的词汇。词是语言的最小单位。没有词汇,人们将无法表达任何事物。那么如何才能学好词汇呢?
一、卡片学习法
这是一种行之有效的学习方法。用卡片进行词汇学习,能使词汇学习更生动、更直观、更具体,而且携带方便,不受任何地域或时间的限制,随时都可以读单词,记单词。卡片学习法尤其适用于初学者,效果良好。
二、小组互助学习法
这种方法也简单易行。两个人、三个人、五个人都行。学习时,一人提问,其他人竞相回答,看谁说得快、准,这样既有趣,又有互动性,而且也有助于发音的纠正。
三、词句运用法
这是在学习的中级阶段可以采用的方法。很多人在掌握了大量的词汇之后,仍然感觉它们是零散的个体。这时就需要用句子把它们串连起来,只有这样,学生才会体会到语言的流畅性、词汇的丰富性、语言的韵律美,才会逐步走上能够运用的轨道上来。词句运用法,尤其在同义词的学习方面效果明显。例如:look at, read, see, watch都有“看”的意思,但怎么“看”呢?如果放到句子中,它们之间的区别就显现出来了。例如:
1. Now, please look at the blackboard and read the new words.
2. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.
3. Will you go and see a movie with me this evening
4. I often watch TV after I finish my homework.
学会了这些句子,哪里还用再去死记硬背它们的区别?
四、课文阅读法
阅读是词汇学习的高级阶段,也是我们学习英语的终极目标。我们学习词汇就是为了通过阅读来获取知识。通过大量的阅读,一方面我们获取了信息,另一方面,也在具体的语境中掌握了词汇,体验到了词汇的语言美。尤其是通过阅读外国的文学名著,更能体会到英语词汇的丰富性。学生到了这个阶段,词汇量自然而然也就大了,再学习起词汇来,也就越来越容易了。过去分词作定语和表语
过去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式,表示完成和被动的动作。它在句子中可以充当表语、定语等成份。下面仅谈其作定语和表语的用法。
一、过去分词作定语
过去分词作定语有前置和后置两种情况。
1、前置定语
单个的过去分词作定语,通常放在被修饰的名词之前,表示被动和完成意义。
A类:被动意义:
an honored guest 一位受尊敬的客人
The injured workers are now being taken good care of in the hospital.
受伤的工人现正在医院受到良好的照料。
B类:完成意义:(不及物动词的过去分词作定语不表示被动,而表示完成)
boiled water=water that has boiled开(过的)水
the fallen leaves=the leaves that have fallen落叶
a developed country=a country which has developed发达国家
a retired teacher 一位退休的教师
C类:有些过去分词作定语既表被动,又表完成。即过去分词在定语中可以独立表示完成意义的被动语态。如:
He told us of the great wrong done to him.
=He told us of the great wrong which had been done to him.
他给我们讲了他所遭受的巨大冤屈。
Is there anything planned
=that has been planned) for the weekend﹖
周末安排了什么活动没有?
Did you accept the invitation given(=that had been given) by the tour guide
你接受导游所给的邀请了吗?
Most of the artists invited(=who had been invited)to the party were from South Africa (MET90)邀请到会的大部分艺术家来自南非。
注意:a worried look/face/expression着急的神情
an unexpected result意外的结果
2、后置定语
过去分词短语作定语时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,它的作用相当于一个定语从句。如:
This will be the best novel of its kind ever written (=that has ever been written)。
这将是这类小说中写得最好的。
Who were the so-called guests invited (=who had been invited) to your party last night?
昨晚被邀请参加你的晚会的那些所谓的客人是谁呀?
二、过去分词作表语
作表语的过去分词主要来自及物动词,在主-系-表句型中,说明主语所处的一种状态。其中系动词有包括be在内的多种形式。如:
You seem frightened.
你看样子受了惊吓。
少数不及物动词(如go, come, set)的过去分词也能作表语,但它们不表示被动意义,只是表示动作完成。如:
They are gone for vacation.
他们度假去了。
注意:要区别“系动词+过去分词(系表结构)” 和 “系动词+过去分词(被动语态)”。如:
A. The library is now closed.
图书馆现在关门了。
B. The library is closed at six.
图书馆经常在六点钟关门。
说明:作表语用的过去分词表示主语的特点或所处的状态,强调主谓关系。这种结构中的过去分词前可加quite, very, rather等修饰词。系动词可有多种,表示不同的意义;被动语态表示动作,强调动宾关系,绝大多数被动结构中的行为执行者还可以用by短语来表示。因此,我们不难看出在上面两句中,A句是系表结构,B句是被动语态。
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Most of the artists _____ to the party were from South Africa.
A. invited B. to invite
C. being invited D. had been invited

Paris is called the City of Light. It is also an international fashion center. What modern women are wearing in Paris will be worn all over the world. Paris is also a famous world center of education. For example, it is the headquarters of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The Seine River divides the city into two parts. Thirty-two bridges cross this scenic river. The oldest and perhaps most well known is the Pont Neuf, which was built in the sixteenth century. The Sorbonne, a famous university, is on the Left Band (south side) of the river. The beautiful white church Sacre Coeur lies on top of the hill called Montmartre on the Right Band (north side) of the Seine.
There are many other famous places in Paris, such as the famous museum the Louvre. The most famous landmark in this city must be the Eiffel Tower.
Paris as well as the Cathedral of Notre Dame is named after a group of people called the Parisaii.

Why do people travel Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kind of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today’s travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting.
HIKING
Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.
Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking: 1. Don’t hike alone. 2. Tell someone where you are going; 3. Bring water and a good map; 4. Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes, or poisonous plants; 5. Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun; Bring a mobile phone if you have one.
RAFTING
Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few trees and other dangers . The name “whitewater” comes from the fact that the water in these stream and rivers looks white when it moves quickly.
As with rafting, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to get in and out of the raft. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.
5. Adventure travelers want to _______.
A. experience fun and excitement
B. meet new friends.
C. try new kinds of food

6. Hiking is a kind of adventure travel because _________.
A. it is not expensive

A. have rafting skills
B. know how to swim

第二节 阅读下文,回答问题。
I arrive on the island and a scientist is waiting for me at the port. As we drive towards the observatory I realize that Montserrat is a village and I ask where the centre is. There is no center. The houses, many still under construction, are scattered throughout the north. The island is almost too quiet.
After a couple of days on the island, I begin my first real experience with the volcano. The seismograph pen keeps shaking near the volcano, most likely caused by heavy rain. Once in the Belham Valley, which has been recognized as a high risk area, we can see a mudflow rushing down to the sea from the volcano side. Rocks, mud and trees come down in a heavy flow. Some goats are trying to escape from the running waters —nothing too strange, though.
A heavier rain could cause a volcanic dome collapse but then the rain season is almost over, we’ll probably need to wait until June. If a big collapse occurred now, people could probably go back to their homes in the valley and stay there for six months or more until the dome builds up again. Later in the night, I can see the dome glowing.
The night comes early and some Montserratians from Salem appear at the "Desert Storm" bar. They have the best view of the volcano, but they are soused to it that they often don’t bother to stop and watch. In the middle of the night I wake up and step outside to enjoy the quietness and I can smell the volcano; that reminds me that the volcano is only about eight kilometres away. The wind must be blowing towards the north. I can hear the waves breaking on the shore and sometimes the rocks falling from the dome. ____________________, I’m going to sleep again looking forward to the next day of work.

第四节 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Mary,
It's Sunday and I have a day off. I'm going to tell you something about China.
In our country cars are driven on the left side of the road, but here on the right side. Many people in London go to work by car, while most people in Beijing go to work by bike. The climate of Beijing is better than ours, and people here enjoy fine weather for long periods. But London has so many cloudy days. Students here work hard at their lessons and a lot of people can speak English. It's a pity that students in our country don't make full use of their time and few of them know Chinese.
That's all for today. Please write to me.
Best wishes.
