《新概念英语》学什么:第2册第38课


《新概念英语》学什么:第2册37课接下去我们来看第38课的内容:


二、重要句型或语法1、过去完成时这个时态在第一册第119-120课和第二册第14课里已经学过,本课侧重的是两个表“一…就…”的句型的学习:no sooner…than…和hardly…when…。如:He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.

三、课文主要语言点My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterrean for many years before he returned to England.1)可提问学生此处的live为什么使用过去完成时(因为before引导的从句的动作用了一般过去时,主句动作是在此之前发生的,即“过去的过去”)。 2)注意Mediterranean的构词和发音。该词由medi(中间)和terranean两部分构成,而terranean又源自terrain(地带;地域),所以Mediterrean表示“地中的”。注意该词的重音在ra-上。 3)return to,回到。He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.1)可提问学生并解释此处的dream和plan为什么使用过去完成时。 2)dream of,梦想、向往。 3)retire,退休。一般用作不及物动词。 4)plan to do,计划、打算。 5)settle down,安定下来、定居。He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.1)注意no sooner所在主句的谓语动词采用的是过去完成时,而than所在的从句谓语动词采用的是一般过去时。 2)注意提醒学生该句型中的连词是than,不是then。可通过sooner比较级的形式来识别和记忆。Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterl cold.1)almost immediately,紧接着。 2)complain about,抱怨、投诉。about也可以替换为of。 3)注意此处的for是个连词,连接的是并列句,补充说明主句动作发生的原因。for表原因时,其引导的从句不能放句首。 4)even though,尽管、即使。 5)continually,断断续续地。注意与同根副词continuously(持续不断地)的区别。 6)bitterly cold,冷得刺骨。bitterly,本义表示残酷地、痛苦地,在此表示刺骨地。After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.1)after so many years of...,经过多年的...。 2)sunshine,阳光。是由sun和shine构成的合成词。 3)get a shock,感到震惊。相当于be shocked,但动作含义更强,更具强调效果。He acted as if he had never lived in England before.1)act,举止、行动。 2)as if,好像。它引导的从句谓语动词一般要用虚拟语气。 3)never…before,从未。In the end, it was more than he could bear.1)in the end,最终、最后。 2)more than,超过、不仅仅。 3)bear,容忍、忍受。He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.1)注意hardly所在主句的动词要采用过去完成时,when从句的动作要采用一般过去时。 2)have time to do,有时间做某事。The dream he had had for so many years ended there.1)注意句中的he had had for so many years是dream的定语从句,省略了关系代词that或which。 2)可提问学生为什么此处的谓语动词要采用过去完成时。Harrison had thought of everthing except the weather.1)可提问学生为什么此处的think要采用过去完成时。 2)think of,想到、想起。注意跟think about(思考)的区别。 3)except,除了…之外,没有...。注意与besides(除了…之外,还有…)的区别。

四、读写重点课文中出现了more than的比较级句型,可做些拓展,引入no less than、no more than等句型,并进行讲解操练。

五、语用文化可介绍一下英国的天气和气候特点。

六、教学建议1、可在本课对过去完成时进行全面的梳理讲解。2、讲到for引导的表原因的并列句时,可对比because、since、as引导的原因状语从句。
