二、学海导航
【学法指要】
单元难点疑点思路明晰
1 . 由 though 引导的状语从句的句型
Though I like writing to my penfriend , it takes a lot of time . 虽然我喜欢给笔友写信,但花了很多时间。
※ 由连词 though ( 虽然 ) 引导的状语从句,全句中有“但是”之意,然而 thought 与 but 不能前后连用,只能用其中一个。上句也可以说成:
I like writing to my penfriend , but it takes a lot of time .
※ though 引出的从句放在句首时,从句后面要有逗号。但也可将 though 引出的状语从句放在主句之后。
Though it was raining , he went there .
He didn\'t do this work well though he did his best . 虽然他尽了最大努力,但还是没干好这工作。
※ though 常与 even 连用,表示强调。如:
Even though I didn\'t understand a word , I kept smiling .
2 . 由 after 引导的时间状语从句的句型
But after we left the mountains behind us , there was hardly a cloud in the sky . 然而当我们把群山峻岭甩在后面后,天空几乎万里万云。
※ after we left the mountains behind us,是由连词 after 引导的时间状语从句。引导时间状语从句的还可由 when , while , before , till , since 等词引起。
leave behind 是“把 ( 某物 ) 留在 ( 某物 ) 的后面”。
由 after 引导的时间状语从句举例如下:
After we had finished lunch , we all sat on the grass .
※ after 引导的从句,有时放在主句之后。如:
I arrived at the station after the train had left .
3 . They say that… = It is said that … 据说
…and they say that there are ten sheep for every person . 据说每人占有十头羊。
句中的 they 并没有具体的对象,泛指人们 ( people ) 。
They say that… = People say that… = It is said that… 如:
It is said that he will leave in a few days . 据说他过几天就要动身。
4 . How often do you write ? 你们隔多久通一次信 ?
( 1 ) How often 常用来询问动作的频率,回答可用:some times/very often/not too often/once/twice/three times a year…有时/经常/一年一次 ( 二次/三次 ) 等。例如:
—How often do you go to see your grandmother in the countryside ? 你多久去看一次住在农村的祖母 ?
—Twice a year . 一年去两次。
( 2 ) 注意下面以 how 提问的句子的准确含意。
—How long have you waited here ?
— For about two hours .
how long 表示动作或状态“延续的时间”。
—How much time did you spend on this work ?
— Just a week .
how much time 表示一个“总的时间量”。
5 . …because neither of us has much time . ……因为我们俩没有太多的时间。
neither 意为:两者中任意一个“都不”。所以句中的相关动词或名词应该用单数形式。此句中用 has , 不能用 have。句中的 neither 是代词。例如:
Neither answer is right . 两个答案都不对。 ( 两者中,无论哪个答案都不对。 )
句中的 neither 是形容词,名词 answer 及动词 be 都用单数形式。
Neither of them knows her . 他们俩都不认识她。
6 . Both John and Ann have got penfriends . 约翰和安 ( 两人 ) 都有笔友。
( 1 ) both…and…“对方都;又……又……”,构成关联连词。例如:
She is both beautiful and kind . 她又漂亮又亲切。
She can both sing and dance . 她能歌善舞。
( 2 ) both 在句中还常作形容词和代词。例如:
Both brothers are in Japan . ( both 是形容词 )
Both of the brothers are in Japan . ( both 是代词 )
I saw them both yesterday .
They both went out .
neither…nor…与 either…or…的用法:
neither…nor… ( 连词 ) “既不……又不……”。例如:
It is neither hot nor cold .
Neither you nor he is right . = Nei 《九年级英语第二十四单元(第2页)》
