The more I gave him , the more he wanted .

单元难点疑点释疑

1 . Come to school in your old clothes tomorrow ! 明天你穿旧衣服到学校来。

[释疑] ( 1 ) 句中的介词 in 可表示服饰的穿着。例如:

Do you know the girl in the hat ?

He is often in brown .

What shall I go in ?

2 . It's Tree Planting Day . We're going to plant some trees .( 明天是 ) 植树节,我们将种一些树。

[释疑]plant 一词还可用作名词,意思是“植物”。例如:

There are different kinds of plants on that farm .

Plants can bring us much fresh air . 植物可带给我们大量新鲜的空气。

3 . Really ? Wonderful !

[释疑] ( 1 ) wonderful 常用于对事物的赞叹、称许及惊讶,用以表达说话者分外惊奇的心情。在口语中使用时相当于great . 例如:

It's wonderful that you have won the football match .

His uncle is a wonderful maths teacher .

( 2 ) wonderful 是在名词 wonder ( 惊奇,奇迹 ) 后加上 -ful 构成的形容词,常见的还有:use - useful , help -helpful, care-careful, beauty -beautiful

4 . HOW TO PLANT A TREE 如何种树

[释疑] ( 1 ) 英语中用作标题的文字,一般常用大写。

( 2 ) 不定式前面常常可以根据意思的需要与疑问副词或疑问代词一起构成短语

We don't know when to go there .

The problem is where to plant trees .

We were not sure what to do at that time .

5 . The ground must be just right - neither too wet nor too dry . 地面必须刚好适宜 , 既不太潮湿也不太干燥。

[释疑] ( 1 ) neither…nor…连词,“既不……也不……”之意。分别放在两个平行的述说对象的前面。例如:

He is neither tall nor short .

I can neither sing nor dance .

Neither you nor he knows French .

上面句中的谓语动词形式取决于后一个主语的人称,这一点要特别注意。请比较:

Neither he nor you know French .

( 2 ) neither 一词单独使用时,可作副词或代词,意为“ ( 两者 ) 都不”,下列句中的名词或动词应用单数形式。例如:

Neither answer is right .

Neither of them knows me .

6 . Knock a long strong stick into the earth next to the hole . Make sure that it is straight . 把一根又长又结实的木棍顺着洞边插进土里,一定要把它立直。

[释疑] ( 1 ) knock…into… “把……插进……;把……敲进……”。例如:

8 . Tie the tree to the top of the stick to keep it straight . 把树和木棍的顶端捆好,以保持树能直立。

[释疑] ( 1 ) tie…to…“把……捆在……”。例如:

They tied the bad man to the big tree .

Tie his hands to the back of the chair .

to keep it straight 是动词不定工,在句中作状语,表示捆树的目的。straight 是宾语 it 意义上的补充和延伸,所以叫做宾语补足语。又如:

We always keep our classroom clean .

Don't touch the machine . You must keep yourselves safe .

( 3 ) 在句中常用来作宾语补足语的还有动词不定式、分词、名词等。例如:

Who helped you to wash these clothes ?

I saw him going into the office when I came back last night .

9 . Water it well , as often as possible . 尽可能经常地给树浇好水。

[释疑] ( 1 ) water 可用作动词,意为“给……浇水”。

( 2 ) 该句为一般过去时被动语态。

11 . In 1850 , about a third was covered by forests . 1850年,大约三分这一 ( 的美国国土 ) 被森林覆盖。A third 即为 one third 或 1/3。

[释疑]英语中分数的文字表达,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,先读分子,后读分母。当分子大于1时,分母用相应的复数。例如:2 / 3 读作 two thirds . 5 / 7 读作 five sevenths .

12 . A lot of good land has gone with them , leaving only sand . 大片的肥沃土壤随着森林的消失而流失,只留下一片荒沙。

[释疑] ( 1 ) leaving only sand 在句中作状语,表示土壤流失后的景象。

The mother left the baby and hurried to work .

Don't leave your baby along in the room .

13 . Today , too many trees are still being cut down it the USA . 如今,在美国,大量的树木仍遭砍伐。

This work must be finished in a week .

The trees should be watered often .

In south China , rice may be harvested three times a year .

17 . Many thousands of trees must be planted every year . 每年都得裁成千上万株树。

[释疑] ( 1 ) many thousands of“数千;万千上万”,thousand 在此是名词。又如:hundreds of 好几百, millions of 数百万

That farmer had over five thousand ducks .

18 . The more , the better . 越多越好。

The ground must be just right - Neither too wet nor too dry .

24 . 表示命令、请求和指示的交际用语

Put the tree in the hole so that it is straight .
