学建议

　　本单元重点例句及相关知识的讲解

　　1. To be here at Christmas time is a dream.

　　that has come true!

　　圣诞期间到这儿来是（我的）梦想，它终于实现了。

　　句中的to be here作主语，是动词不定式作主语。that引导的从句在句中作dream的定语。

　　【例】To help her is necessary. = It’s necessary to help her.

　　帮助她是必要的。

　　动词不定式在句中可以作主语，有时可以用it来作形式主语。To be here at Christmas time is a dream. =  It’s a dream to be here at Christmas time.

　　2. Let’s help decorate the tree.

　　让我们一起来装饰这棵树吧！

　　decorate（V.）意为“装饰”。如：

　　Today is Tom’s birthday. They are decorating the sitting room.

　　今天是汤姆的生日，他们正在装饰客厅。

　　另外，let sb. do sth. 意思是“让某人做某事”，必须省去to的动词不定式；help (sb.) do sth. = help (sb.) to do sth. 意思是“帮助某人做某事”，可省略to，也可不省略to。如：

　　Let’s help carry some water for the old woman. Let Ted help her to carry the heavy box.

　　让我们来为这位老妇人挑些水吧。让泰德来帮她搬这个重箱子。 

　　3. Then we circle them around the tree and you pass them back to me until we have put lights on the whole tree.

　　  circle(V.)   “环绕，绕圈子”。如：

　　The birds circled around in the air.

　　  鸟在空中绕圈子。

　　circle (n.) “圆，圈子”。如：

　　Tom has a large circle of friends. They often draw a circle on the ground to play the game.

　　  at the end of…意思是“在……终点，在……末梢”，通常指地点；by the end of…意思是“到……底之前”，通常指时间；in the end 意思是“最后，终于”，相当于at last. 如：

　　By the end of this term, we’ve learnt one thousand English words. Yesterday, we went to buy some new English book. At the end of the Hongan street, there is a supermarket. But we couldn’t find any English book there. In the end we reached the corner of a book market and find what we wanted.

　　到这个学期底之前，我们已经学了一千多英语单词。我们去买些新英语书。在洪安街的尽头，有一家超级市场。但是在那儿我们找不到一本英语书，最终我们在一个书市的拐角找到了。

　　5. Some people even put up stockings for their pets as well.

有的人甚至也为他们的宠物挂上衣袜子。

　　1）pet (n.) 供玩赏的动物；受宠爱的人。如：

　　He keeps a cat as a pet. And she is the teacher’s pet.

　　他养了一只猫当作宠物。她是老师最宠爱的学生。 

　　2）as well   意思是“也；又；同样地”，放在句末。

　　Are you going to do your brother’s washing as well?

　　你也为你兄弟洗衣服吗？

　　 句中的as well相当于“too”。

　　I have nothing to do as well.

　　我也无事可做。句中的as well相当于“either”。注意：在表达“也”这一意思时，可以用as well, too, also, either. 但是，also一般用于较为正式的文体当中，它的位置一般靠近动词，放在行为动词的前面，位于连系动词be、情态动词或助动词的后面。either只能用于否定句，且必须放在句末。as well和too通常是放在句子的末尾，as well既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句，而too只用于肯定句，且一般放在句末，用或不用逗号分开均可。但有时也可放在句中作插入语，前后都要用逗号分开。如：

　　  On the hill there are also a lot of people.

　　  杰克没有看过这部电影，我也没有看过。

　　8. He didn’t know what to do.

　　9. It went into a stocking that a little girl had hung by the fireplace to dry!

　　  它掉进了一个小女孩挂在炉边准备烘干的袜子里。

　　  句中的hung是hang的过去分词。hang作“吊着，悬挂”解时，其过去式和过去分词都为hung；如果hang作“上吊；绞死”解时，其过去式和过去分词都为hanged。使用时要注意区别。如：

　　11. Children wake up every early, and can’t wait to open the presents in their stockings and under the tree.

　　孩子们醒得早，并且迫不及待地打开在他们长统袜里和在树下的礼物。  

　　1) wake up意思是“醒来”；

　　 wake sb. up 意思是“唤醒某人”，up是副词，当代作宾语时，要放在wake和up之间。如：

　　  His mother always wakes him up at six every morning.

　　  他妈妈总是在早晨六点钟叫醒他。

　　  The baby woke up and began to cry because he didn’t see his mother.

　　  因为没看到妈妈，婴儿醒来就哭起来。

　　关于本单元听说读写的教学建议

　　★有关听力方面

　　1. 第32课第一部分有一个听力练习，教师可以充分利用每个单元的这种听力练习，以加强学生对中考听力的适应性。

　　2. 在做这种练习之前，教师可以告诉学生一些有关做听力练习的技巧，告诉学生在做听力之前一定要把听力题目通读一遍以做到对将要听到的材料有一定的心理准备。

　　3. 在听完之后，如有可能应当让学生根回答问题的基本情况，对所听的语言材料做一个简单的复述。

　　4. 在学习第32课的时候，应当让学生先听一遍录音，然后回答一些比较简单的问题，然后进一步提出一些较为复杂的问题，让学生接着再听一遍试着回答这些问题。

　　★有关口语方面

　　1. 本单元的第29课，可以用来作为口语训练材料。在正式进入新课之前，教师可以设计一些与圣诞节有关的问题：

　　Do you know something about Christmas?

　　Have you ever spent a Christmas?

　　Can you say something about Father Christmas?

　　When is Christmas ?

　　Do you know some other festivals in the western countries?

　　先让学生在小组之间展开讨论，然后在各个小组之间展开交流。

　　2. 对于比较长的课文，如第30课，也可以用来作为口语训练的材料，其实，好的英语口语教学应当是穿插在所有的或者是整个的英语教学过程（fanwen.oyaya.net）之中，而不是割裂的，缺乏完整性的。在进行课文的阅读教学时，可以让学生把课本练习中提出的问题，在回答后，把答案连接起来，加入适当的连接词，连贯地把这些句子表达出来，这也就是一种比较好的口语训练形式。

　　★关于读写方面

　　在语言能力的训练中，不应当忽视文化因素的作用，因为文化因素会渗透到交际的各个层面。在进行本单元的语言教学的过程中，应当加强对文化知识的输入。强调让学生掌握一些相关的文化事实。可以放映一些有关圣诞节的录像片。以强化学生对圣诞节的在文化层面的认识。

　　在训练学生的写作时，本单元可以要求学生每人自己动手制作一张圣诞节的贺卡，并用英文写上数句祝的话语。然后同学之间相互赠送。

　　关于动词不定式和been to/ gone to的教学建议

　　一、动词不定式（二）

　　前面我们已学过了不定式的构成以及其作宾语，宾语补足语和作状语。本单元继续介绍了不定式的用法。在教学时，注意通过展示例句，使学生加强对不定式作定语、不定式和疑问词连用的理解，并提供少量练习，使学生在课堂上加深印象和注意相关知识的应用技巧。板书或展示：

　　1. 不定式作定语

　　  He has too many things to do.

　　  他要做的事太多了。

　　  I have nothing to say on this question.

　　  在这个问题上，我没有什么话要说。

　　  The next train to arrive was from Shanghai.

　　  下一列到站的火车是从上海开来的。

　　  讲解：动词不定式作定语，修饰名词或代词，要注意以下两点：①要带to放在所修饰名词的后面；②如果所修饰的名词或代词是动词不定式短语的宾语，这时要注意保持动词不定式短语的完整性，不要漏掉介绍或副词等。板书或展示：

　　  I have a lot of housework to do tonight.

　　  今晚我有许多家务活要做。

　　  动词不定式to do放在所修饰的名词housework之后。

　　  I need a pen to write with.

　　  我需要一支钢笔写字。

　　  I think there is nothing to worry about.

　　  我认为没有什么可担心的事情。

　　  动词不定式to write with, to worry about分别作名词pen，不定代词nothing的定语，由于pen, nothing在短语中是一个宾语成分，所以不能省去介词with和about。

　　2．动词不定式和疑问词连用

　　  动词不定式可以和疑问代词what/ which/ whom等连用；可以和疑问副词how / when/ where等连用，在句中可以作表语、宾语和定语。但how/ when/ where不作宾语，what/ which/ whom可作宾语。whether不作句子成分。板书或展示：

　　  I don’t know what to do.

　　我不知道该怎么办。   （不定式短语作宾语）

　　When to start has not been decided.

　　何时动身尚未决定。    （不定式短语作主语）

　　The difficulty was how to cross the river.

　　困难在于如何过河。     （不定式短语作表语）

　　注意：没有why to do it这种说法。

　　〖例〗根据句意，选取括号中正确的词语填空。

　　1. Could you tell me_____________ (where, where to) buy this fruit?

　　2. I went there __________ (to see, saw) him.

　　3. Remember _____________ (when to return, when return)

　　4. I’ll show you _____________.  (how to do it; how to do)
5. My plan is _____________ (to do, do) the work next week.

　　6. He was the first man ___________ (to learn, learn) the news.

　　解答：

　　1. where to（动词不定式和疑问词连用。）

　　2. to see（动词不定式作目的状语）

　　3. when to return （不定式和疑问词连用。）

　　4. how to do it （不定式和疑问词连用。）

　　5. to do（动词不定式作表语）

　　6. to learn（动词不定式作定语）

　　二、have (has) been to 与have (has) gone to的区别have (has) been to表示主语去过某地，而现在已不在那里；have (has) gone to表示主语去了某地，现在已不地此地。如：

　　  My teacher has been to Japan twice.

　　  我的老师曾到过日本两次。（现在不在日本）

　　  My teacher has gone to Japan.

　　  我的老师到日本去了。（现在不在此地了，有可能到了日本，有可能还去日本的路上）

　　易混点：

　　 

　　例如：

　　①A．Where have you been?  (√)

　　B．Where have you gone?  (×)

　　C．Where has he gone?    (√)

　　D．Where has he been ?   (√)

　　②A．He has been to Dalian.  (√)

　　B．He has been in Dalian.  (√)

　　C．He has gone in Dalian.  (×)

　　D．He has gone to Dalian.  (√)

　　辨析：

　　①have gone  人已走了，无法问“你上哪儿去了？”

　　②have gone to + 地点，到某处去了，不用gone in + 地点。

　　have / has been / gone to接地点名词，若接副词，如：away, home, out, 则不用to。例如：

　　Where have you been? 你到哪儿去了？

　　I’ve been away/ home / out. 我外出了/回家了/出去了。（现在我在这儿）

　　Where has Mary gone? 玛丽到哪去了？

　　She has gone away/ home/ out.

　　她外出了/回家了/出去了。（现在她不在这儿）

　　have/ has been in 是指在某地呆过或人仍在某地。

　　〖例〗根据句意，选取括号中正确的词语填空。

　　1. He has __________ (been, gone)there many times. 

　　2. — Where’s Jim?

　　  — He __________ England. (went to, has gone to)

　　3. Mr Green _________ China for three years.   (has been to, has been in, has gone to)

　　4. Bruce is young, but he ___________ many foreign countries. (has been in; has been to; has gone to)

　　答案：1. been (has been there是“到过那里”的意思。)

　　2. has gone to（他已经去了，本人不在说话的地方。）

　　3. has been in（呆在某个地方用has been in）

　　4. has been to（到过某地用has been to。）

　　     We say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite, kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners. But no one likes a person with bad or careless manners. "Yes," you say, "but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"

　　     Here are some examples of these things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does not do.

　　     He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or to animal. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front. On the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, he says "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".

　　He says "Please" when he asks somebody to help. He says "Thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. And he does not sit down until the other person does. He does not talk or laugh loudly in public.
