Section A

1. Lots of them were pulled down in the 1960s.

二十世纪60年代许多旧城被拆掉了。

第一台机器人是1921年发明的。

pull down 拆除,推倒,常用来指建筑物被拆毁。

in the 1960s 二十世纪六十年代,即1960-1969年之间,而非1960这一年。

2. People thought them useless.

4. We are doing our best to protect and rebuild the old city walls.

protect sb. / sth. 保护某人/某物

write - rewrite (重写)

appear - reappear (重现,再现)

tell - retell (重述,复述)

反意疑问句:

说话人对自己的看法不完全肯定,要求对方加以证实,这时使用的疑问句叫做反意疑问句。反意疑问句由一个陈述句和一个简略的问句构成。在反意疑问句中,如果前一部分是肯定的陈述句,后一部分要用否定的简略疑问句,如果前一部分是否定的陈述句,后一部分要用肯定形式的简略疑问句,两部分在人称、数、时态方面均要保持一致。回答时要用yes或no。注意的是当第一部分为否定句时,回答要根据事实,这时英语回答和汉语回答是不一致的。如:

- Emperor Qin’s Terra Cotta Warriors are one of the greatest wonders of the world, aren’t they?

- There aren’t any treasures in Qin Shi Huang’s Underground Palace, are there?

秦始皇地下宫殿没有任何珍宝,是吧?

注意:

如:You didn’t read the book, did you?

你没看过这本书,对吗?

(1)疑问部分的主语必须是与陈述部分主语在人称、数、时态方面保持一致的人称代词。

如:His uncles are drivers, aren’t they?

他的叔叔们是司机,是不是?

Yes, they are.

是的,他们是。

Lily will be free tomorrow, won’t she?

莉莉明天有空,是吗?

Yes, she will.

对,她有空。

(2)疑问部分的谓语动词要与陈述部分的谓语动词保持人称、数和时态一致。如:

There were no people in the classroom, were there?

教室里没人了,是吗?

No, there weren’t.

是的,没人了。

You saw the film yesterday, didn’t you?

Section C

1. It is one of the “seven wonders” of the ancient world still standing.

2. It took about 100,000 people over 20 years to build it.

句中it为形式主语,不定式短语to build it为真正的主语。在英语中,不定式作主语时,常用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语“不定式”放在句尾。如:

To visit the museum is a great pleasure.

参观博物馆是一件愉快的事。

此句可改为It is a great pleasure to visit the museum.
