《新概念英语》学什么:第2册第21课

接下去我们来看第21课的内容:

一、重要句型或语法
1、被动语态
本课侧重的是被动语态与情态动词的连用,其结构为:情态动词+be done by。如:
It must have been stolen by the man.

二、课文主要语言点
| Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. | 1)本句话采用了现在进行时,意味着飞机一直轰响。 2)drive sb. mad,使某人发疯。drive表示“使...”。 |
|
I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. |
1)passing,经过的。passing是形容词化的现在分词。 2)can be heard,情态动词can与被动语态的连用,注意can后面要用原形的be。 3)night and day,日日夜夜。 |
|
The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. |
1)提醒学生注意years ago的表达,多年前。也因为这样,其动词要采用一般过去时。注意build的过去式和过去分词都是built。 2)for some reason,因为某种原因。其中的some不是表示“一些”,而是“某个”。 |
| Last year, however, it came into use. | 1)注意however的位置:如果直接放在句首,则后面用逗号隔开;如果插入在句中,则前后都要用逗号隔开。 2)come into use,开始使用。 |
|
Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. |
1)句中的must表猜测,因为是对过去发生的事情的猜测,所以动词要采用完成时的形式。 2)drive sb./sth. away,驱赶某人或某物。 |
| I am one of the few people left. | 1)I am不缩写可以起到强调作用。 2)left,过去分词用作形容词,表示剩余的、剩下的。注意left只能作后置定语。 |
|
Sometimes I think his house will be knocked down by a passing plane. |
knock down,击倒、撞倒。 |
|
I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. |
1)注意offer的用法,即:offer sb. sth.或offer sth. to sb.。 2)a sum of,一笔(钱)。 3)be determined to do,下定决心做某事,相当于decide to do。这是被动表主动的用法。 |
|
Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right. |
1)must表猜测,对现在情况的猜测。 2)注意区分probably、possibly、maybe、perhaps的可能性大小。 |

三、读写重点
可从写作角度讲讲被动语态的运用,如被动语态给人的感觉是比较客观的。如:It is believed that the earth moves around the sun. 这句话就比“We believe that the earth moves around the sun.”显得更加客观。

四、语用文化
可介绍噪音污染的问题。

五、教学建议
1、被动语态是难点,所以需要先复习之前学过的有关被动语态的基本知识和用法,如基本结构be done by以及在不同时态中的运用。
2、可复习一下情态动词表猜测的用法,即must和can't的用法。
