Unit 8 Topic 1 重点词语、短语辨析
heavy；heavily
heavy为形容词，用来修饰名词，意为“重的；沉重的；沉闷的”。如：It’s a heavy desk. There are many books in it. 这个课桌很沉，有许多书在里面。
heavy用来形容天气时，意为“大的；大量的”。如：It was a heavy rain. 真是一场大雨。
heavily是由形容词heavy变来的副词，用于修饰动词，意为“沉重地；猛烈地；厉害地”。如： It snowed heavily in Beijing yesterday. 昨天北京的雪下得很大。
wear; put on
wear是及物动词，过去式是wore，强调“穿；戴”的状态。后面接表示衣物、鞋、帽、首饰、眼镜之类的名词。如：
He’s wearing a white shirt. 他穿着一件白衬衫。
put on强调“穿；戴”的动作，意为“穿上”。动词put 的过去式是put。如：
Today is Children’s Day. Please put on your new clothes. 今天是儿童节，请穿上你的新衣服。
remember to do sth.; remember doing sth.
remember to do sth. 意为“记住去做某事”，不定式所表示的事情还没有做。如：
Remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room. 当你离开房间时，记得把灯关了。(现在还没有关灯)
remember doing sth. 意为“记得做过某事”，表示这件事情已经做了。如:
I remembered tuning off the lights when I left the room. 我记得当我离开房间的时候我关灯了。(灯已经关了)
Unit 8 Topic 1重难点讲解
Unit 8 有错必纠（一）
1. 【病历单】 What’s the weather like in the fall
【诊断书】 in the fall改为in fall。在季节的前面不需要加冠词。
2. 【病历单】 Is it a good season for swim
【诊断书】 swim改为swimming。介词后应接V-ing形式。
3. 【病历单】 I like English the best.
【诊断书】 best作“最”讲时，其前不用加定冠词；作“最好”讲时，应加定冠词。
4. 【病历单】 It was rainy all the day yesterday.
【诊断书】 all day是固定词组，意为“整天”，其中间不可加冠词。
5. 【病历单】 You’d better to do your homework at once.
【诊断书】 had better意为“最好”，相当于情态动词，后接动词原形。
6. 【病历单】 He wore his clothes and went out.
【诊断书】 wore改为put on。wear表示“穿”的状态，而put on强调动作。
7. 【病历单】 You need practicing speaking English.
【诊断书】 practicing应改为to practice。need作实义动词时，后可接名词、动词不定式或V-ing形式。need doing sth. 意为 “需要被……”，不符合句意。
8. 【病历单】 They are busy to do their homework in the classroom.
【诊断书】 to do设为doing。be busy doing sth. 意为“忙于做某事”，busy后不接动词不定式，而接V-ing形式。
一般现在时和一般过去时“对抗赛”
第一场：谓语动词的构成形式“对抗”
一般现在时：1) be动词有三种变化形式：am / is / are
2) 行为动词用动词原形或第三人称单数形式
一般过去时：1) be动词有两种变化形式：was / were
2) 行为动词用动词的过去式形式
比较：1. Jim is here. 吉姆在这儿。
2. Jim was here just now. 吉姆刚才在这儿。
3. She works on a farm. 她在农场里工作。
4. She worked on the farm last year. 她去年在农场里工作。
第二场：句型构成形式“对抗”
一般现在时：1) 含be动词的否定句是在am / is / are 后加not；一般疑问句是把am / is / are提到主语之前。
2) 行为动词作谓语时，否定句是用“don’t或doesn’t + 动词原形”构成；一般疑问句是把do和does置于句首，后面再用动词原形构成。
一般过去时：1) 含be动词的否定句是在was / were 后加not；疑问句是把was / were提到主语之前。
2) 行为动词作谓语时的否定句是用“didn’t + 动词原形”构成；一般疑问句是把did置于句首，后面再用动词原形构成。
比较：1. Mike is from Canada. →
Mike isn’t from Canada. (否定句)
Is Mike from Canada (一般疑问句)
2. John was born in England. →
John wasn’t born in England. (否定句)
Was John born in England (一般疑问句)
3. Jane lives in New York. →
Jane doesn’t live in New York. (否定句)
Does Jane live in New York (一般疑问句)
4. Mary liked winter before. →
Mary didn’t like winter before. (否定句)
Did Mary like winter before (一般疑问句)
第三场：用法“对抗”
一般现在时： 一般现在时用于表示经常性、习惯性的动作，或表示主语现在所处的状态，或表示主语所具备的性格或能力；或表示客观事实、普遍真理或格言。
一般过去时： 一般过去时用于表示过去某一时间发生的动作或存在的状态，也表示过去经常或反复发生的
动作。如：
1. He likes playing football in the afternoon. 他喜欢在下午踢足球。
2. She went to the zoo yesterday afternoon. 她昨天下午去动物园了。(共39张PPT)

4. It’s the best time to go there.
八月是去那最好时节。
5. later on 后来,以后
6. The sun shines brightly.阳光灿烂
7. remember to do sth./ doing sth.
