Read the phrases in the conversation and put them into Chinese.
1. Will students need computer at school? 在学校学生将需要电脑吗?
need此处作实义动词,意为“需要”,有人称和数的变化。常见用法有:
Language points
[拓展]need也可以作情态动词,意为“需要”,像can一样,它的后面跟动词原形。此时,need没有人称和数的变化,通常用于疑问句或否定句。
You needn’t go to school so early. 你不需要这么早去上学。
Need I come earlier? 我需要早点儿来吗?
need +名词/代词 需要……
We need some fruit and vegetables. 我们需要一些水果和蔬菜。
(2) need to do sth. 需要做某事
She needs to wait for an hour. 她需要等待一个小时。
Do I need to say my phone number again?我需要再说一遍我的电话号码吗?
(1) in twenty year’s time相当于in twenty years,意为“二十年以后”。在英语中,“in+一段时间”表示“一段时间之后”,常用于一般将来时。提问“in+一段时间”用how soon。
My father will go to Beijing in two weeks.
我父亲将在两周之后去北京。
--- How soon will they come back?
他们多久就会回来?
--- In three days.
三天以后。
2. In twenty year’s time, maybe there won’t be any school!
20年以后,或许一所学校都没有了。
(2) 辨析:maybe与may be
Maybe Miss Li is angry with us. 或许李老师生我们的气。
Miss Li may be angry with us. 李老师可能会生我们的气。
{5C22544A-7EE6-4342-B048-85BDC9FD1C3A}maybe
也许;大概
副词,通常位于句子开头作状语
may be
可能是
may是情态动词,表示推测;be是动词原形,两者构成谓语,位于主语之后
可不要将maybe与may be混为一谈哟!
There will be many computers in the classroom.
教室里将会有许多电脑。
There won’t be clean water in 100 years’ time.
一百年之后将没有干净的水。
--- Will there be a basketball match next Friday afternoon?
下星期五下午将有一场篮球比赛吗?
--- Yes, there will. / No, there won’t.
是的,有。/不,没有。
(3) there be句型的一般将来时的结构为:There+ will be+主语+其他。在变为否定句时,直接在 will后加not,will not可缩写为won’t;变一般疑问句时,将will提到句子开头。
{5C22544A-7EE6-4342-B048-85BDC9FD1C3A}

不同点
be able to
后面都跟动词原形,表示“能够做某事”
be able to可以有多种时态;can只用于一般现在时态和一般过去时态(could)
can
3. Computers won’t be able to do that. 计算机将无法胜任这一点。
辨析:be able to与can
Are you able to swim? = Can you swim?
你会游泳吗?
Will robots be able to do everything?
机器人将能做所有的事情吗?
4. Teachers won’t use chalk on a blackboard and students won’t use pens and paper, or erasers any more!老师们将不再用粉笔在黑板上写字,学生们也将不再使用钢笔、纸和橡皮!
(1)chalk 不可数名词,意为“粉笔”,没有复数形式。a piece of chalk意为“一支粉笔”。
There is some chalk on the desk.
桌子上有一些粉笔。
(2) paper不可数名词,意为“纸”,没有复数形式。a piece of paper意为“一张纸”。
I need some paper. Do you have some?
我需要一些纸,你有吗?
[拓展] no more相当于not…any more,通常位于助动词、情态动词之后,实义动词之前。
They will no more use computers. = They won’t use computers any more.
他们将不再使用电脑。
(3)not…any more意为“不再……”,强调数量上不再增加或动作上不再重复,not要与助动词或情态动词连用。
The children don’t talk any more. 孩子们不再说话了。
I won’t do that any more. 我不再那样做了。
to do是动词不定式,在句中作后置定语,修饰前面的homework。homework to do意为“要做的家庭作业”。动词不定式(短语)常位于名词或不定代词之后作定语。
5. Will students have a lot of homework to do?
学生将会有很多家庭作业要做吗?
Do you have any interesting books to read?
你有有趣的书读吗?
