33、)完成练习册中安排的练习。注：这种安排是考虑到教师备课方便。在实际教学中，教师可打乱SpecialIn formatio n中的顺序，以混合形式给出。由学生进行归类。四、难句分析1. (1) The larger of the two islands is Britain，which lies to theeast of Irela nd.两个岛中较大的那个是不列颠，位于爱尔兰的东面。.威尔士位于英格兰的西边(2) Wales lies to the west of England（3） England , the largest country in Britain , is in the

34、southeast .央 格兰，不列颠岛上最大的一块土地，位于这个岛的东南部。（4） London lies on the River Themes.伦敦位于泰晤士河畔。上述句子中的lie作“位于”、“在处”解，第（3）句中的is=lies 。 在lies后面可以跟to , on, in等不同的介词，以表示“处于方向/位置”。第（1）（2）句都用了介词to表示方位，并不强调接壤。如果强调交界，则应该 用介词on。第（3）句中的in表示“在境内”，“在范围之内”。第（4）句中的on表示“在河畔”。例如：Guangdong lies to the south of Hubei.广东在湖北以南。Gu

35、angdong lies to / on the south of Hunan.广东在湖南以南。（既可以用to表示方位，又可用on表示两省接壤）Sha nghai lies in the east of Chi na.上海位于中国的东部。Nanji ng lies on the Yan gtze River.南京位于长江之滨。2. There used to be a lot of coal mines in the south，but many of themhave beenclosed ，or are about to be closed .（威尔士）南部曾经有许多煤 矿，但是不少现在已

36、经关闭了，或濒临关闭。be about to的意思是“正要、“即将”，它是一种将来式的表达方 式，表示最近的将来，to是不定式符号，后接动词原形。例如：I was about to go out whe n the telepho ne rang.我正要外出，这时电话铃响了。Hurry up ! They are about to start .快点，他们就要出发了。3. Gen erally ， the weather in Brita in is n either too cold in wi nter nor too hot in summer .一般来说，不列颠的气候冬天不太冷，夏天不

37、太热。neither. nor是一个连词词组，作“既不也不”讲，用来连接两个相同的成分。例如：We had neither money nor food .我们既没钱，又没食物。（连接两个宾语）They neither smoke nor drink.他们既不吸烟，也不喝酒。（连接两个谓 语）He was n either clever nor stupid, but good eno ugh at his work .他不聪明，也不傻，但在工作上还是够好的。（连接两个表语）Neither the Scots nor the Welsh regard themselves as En glis

38、h.苏格兰人和威尔士人都不把自己看作是英格兰人。（连接两个主语）注意：当neither.nor连接两个主语时，谓语动词应和邻近的那个主语在数上取得一致。例如：Neither the twi ns nor James knows how to spell the word.那对双胞胎和詹姆斯都不知道这个词的拼法。4. Around 1850, a terrible disease hit the potato crop ' and potatoeswe nt bad in thesoil. 1850年左右，一种可怕的疾病袭击了土豆，土豆全都烂在地里了。go是连系动词，作“变成”解，后面多

39、跟形容词作表语，表示主语由一种状 态转变到另一种状态，如 go bad （变坏），go mad（变疯），go blind （变瞎）， go wrong （出毛病）。He has gone deaf .他耳朵聋了。The childre n must not go hungry.不要让孩子挨饿。在go后还跟与颜色有关的形容词。例如：He went red with an ger whe n he heard the n ews.他听到这个消息，气得脸都红了。become get，go，grow这几个词作连系动词时，都可以表示“变成”，但也 有些区别：be come较正式，get和go较口语化。此

40、外become和get可由好变 坏，也可由坏变好，而go通常是由好变坏。例如：The situati on has become eve n better/ worse .情况变得更好/糟了。They are gett ing richer and richer/ poorer and poorer .他们越来越富了/穷了。grow作“变成”时，有“逐渐变成新的状态”的意思。例如：My youn ger brother is grow ing tall.我的弟弟渐渐长高了。5. Tens of thousands of people died of hunger.数以万计的人饿死了。die o

41、f的意思是“因而死”，常表示由于疾病、饥饿、年老、情感等原因引起的死亡。例如：He died of old age.他寿终正寝了。In a cold winter, many wild animals may die of hunger.在严寒的冬天，很多野生动物可能饿死。The old woman died of grief soon after her husband' s death .那位老太太在丈夫去世后不久因悲伤而死。die from 的意思是“因而死”，但一般指因疾病或感情以外的原因而造 成的死亡，例如：He died from a chest wou nd.他因胸部受伤

42、而死。We felt sad at his death because he died from overwork.我们对他的死感到悲伤，他是因过度工作累死的。6. Although many families becameseparated , people still kept in touch with each other .虽然许多家庭都分散了，但是人们还是保持着联系。keep in touch with是“与某人保持联系”。例如：Please keep in touch with me whe n you are abroad .你在国外期间请同 我保持联系。A good teacher should always keep in touch with the stude nts.好老师应当经常和同学接触。此外还有“ get in touch with”是“与某人取得联系”。例如：We must try to
