单元难点疑点思路明晰
1 . The dam , which is the biggest in the world , is 3 , 830 metres long . It is 980 metres wide at the base and 40 metres wide at the top . 这座水坝是世界上最大的一座,长3,830米,底部宽980米,顶部宽40米。
表示计量的句型的常用结构形式:“主 + 谓 + 数词 + 表示单位的名词 + 形容词”用来表示“某物有多长 ( 宽、深、高 ) 等,又如:
The wall is three metres high .
The stick is five inches long .
The hole is seven feet deep .
The river is half a mile wide .
The boy is eight years old .
2 . Can\'t we visit the High Dam ? 我们去看大坝好吗 ?
以否定形式提问的疑问句叫否定疑问句,这种疑问句包括一般疑问句和特殊疑问句的结构。句中的 not 可以和有关的 be , have 以及助动词、情态动词结合,构成~n\'t 形式放在主语之前。
一般否定疑问句往往①表示怀疑、惊讶、责备。②邀请或征求意见等意义,实质上它具有强烈的“肯定”意味。问者希望对方给以肯定的答复。又如:
Can\'t you come over and join us ? 你就不能过来和我们作伴吗 ? ( 表示征求意见 )
Won\'t you sit down . 请坐。 ( 表示邀请 )
Can\'t you ( really ) ride a bicycle ?
你 ( 真的 ) 不会骑自行车吗 ? ( 惊讶,不相信 )

3 . As a result of the dam , the water level of the lake was going to rise by 63 metres . 由于兴建水坝,湖面将会提高63米。
by 在此处表示增减程度。如:
He is older by five years than Tom .
The price has been increased by 2 yuan .
Production fell by about one - third .
Line AB is by 4 feet longer than Line CD .
My father missed the train by three minutes .
4 . It was carved in the rock and had on the outside four large stone figures , each of which was 20 metres high . 这座庙凿雕在岩石中,外边有四尊大型石雕像,每个高20米。
①句中的 each of which was 20 metres high 是一个非限制性从句。句中 had 的宾语是 four large stone figures . 把状语 on the outside 放在宾语前,是为了强调石像的位置。each 是个代词,each of which = each of the four figures。这种定语从句是由“名词 ( 代词或数词 ) + 介词 + 关系代词”来引导的。又如:
In his house there are three rooms . each of which has a bed .
They lived in a house , the door of which opens to the south .
China has hundreds of island , the largest of which is Taiwan .
These books , two of which I have read , are interesting .
②除了 of which 外,还有 of whom 这种句型。即:“名词 / 代词 / 数词 + of whom。”
There are around 100 teachers in our school , most of whom are women .
These girls , the youngest of whom is my sister , will dance a waltz for us .
Her brothers , both of whom ( three of whom ) work in Scotland , ring her up every week .
③除了上述所举的名词、代词、数词外,some , all , none , several , few 等词都可接 of + which / whom 的句型。
5 . Then anyone who wants to can go for a walk round Aswan after the boat trip . 那么,想乘船去的人,就可以在乘船旅游后到阿斯旺各处去走走。
①句中的 who wants to 是个定语从句,用来修饰 anyone。
②to 后面省掉了前面提到的“to take a boat on River Nile . ”英语中有些动词,如:want , hope , like 等之后,为了行文简洁,避免重复 嗦,往往用 to 来代表不定式或不定式 《高一英语第二十三单元 Rescuring the Temple(第3页)》
