由于练鼓而引起这样的纠纷是很少见的。杨明的邻居们说处于这样的噪音中他们快要被逼疯了。如果早知道他们的邻居是一位鼓手，他们就不会搬进这座大楼了。他们刚一般进去，噪音就开始了，而且他们几乎没有睡过一个安稳觉。如果不塞住耳朵他们就不能休息或者看书。一个邻居还声称杨明是个酒鬼，对他未成年的儿子是个坏影响。[助读讲解]①此句是部分倒装，否定词no，never,seldom,little,hardly等置于句首，句子用部分倒装。②此句是虚拟条件句，使用了倒装语序；正常语序Iftheyhadknown...。③nosooner,rarely,neither等置于句首，句子用部分倒装。Intheend,thelocalcouncil(委员会)tookaction.“Itwasonlyaftercarefulconsiderationthat④wegaveYangMingawarning，”acouncilmembersaid.“Gettingenoughsleepisimportantforpeople'shealthandaftersuchachorusof⑤plaints,wehadtotakeaction.”最后，当地的居委会采取了行动。“在慎重考虑之后我们给了杨明一个警告，”一名居委会成员说，“得到充足的睡眠对人们的健康很重要，在收到如此一致的投诉之后，我们不得不采取行动。”[助读讲解]④本句是“It＋is/was＋被强调的部分＋that＋其他部分”的强调句型，此处强调时间状语onlyaftercarefulconsideration。⑤achorusofsth.齐声，异口同声。YangMing'sdeparture(离去)haspleasedhisneighbours.“Lifewillgobacktonormalnow，”theysay.ForYangMing'sversionofthestory,wefoundhiminthelounge(休息室)ofhissuite(套房)atShanghai'sHolidayInnHotel.YangMingfeelsthathisrightshavebeenignored.YangMinghatesbeingcalledanalcoholic,butitisthefactthatpeoplehaveclassified(把……分类)hismusicas“noise”thatupsetshimmost⑥.Otherwisehedoesn'treallymindhavingtoleavehisapartment.“LivinginahotelmeansamaidmakesmybedeverydayandIdon'thavetodomyownlaundry(洗衣房)！”Buthowlongwillthehoteltoleratehim?Wewonder.杨明的离去使他的邻居们很高兴。他们说：“现在生活将会恢复正常了。”为了知道杨明对此事的看法，我们在上海假日酒店杨明的套房的休息室见到了他。杨明觉得他的权利被忽视了。杨明讨厌被人叫做酒鬼，但是实际上最让他伤心的是人们把他的音乐归类为“噪音”。否则的话，他根本不介意要离开自己的公寓。“住在酒店里意味着有服务员每天为我整理床铺，我甚至不用自己洗衣服！”但是我们想知道酒店可以容忍他多久。[助读讲解]⑥本句是强调句，强调主语fact，fact后的that引导同位语从句。GrandpajailedafteroneshowertoomanyEighty­year­oldretiredtailor(裁缝),JamesMcKay,spentSaturdaynightinjailafterhittingthirty­year­oldKeithSmithovertheheadwithhiswalkingstick.McKay'swife,LaurenetoldusthatwhileMcKayisusuallyapeacefulperson,hehadbeendriventothisactofviolencebygettingwetjustoncetoooften⑦.在多次被浇之后老爷爷遭监禁80岁的退休裁缝詹姆斯·麦凯，在用手杖打了30岁的基丝·史密斯的头部之后，在监狱里度过了星期六的夜晚。麦凯的妻子劳伦娜告诉我们，麦凯通常是一个很平和的人，他是因为多次被淋湿才被迫做出这样的暴力举动的。[助读讲解]⑦that至句末是told的宾语从句。从句本身又是一个主从复合句；while引导让步状语从句，意为“尽管”。SmithlivesabovetheMcKaysanditappearsthatnotonlyisheakeengardener,heisalsoafishcollector⑧.Unfortunatelyforhim,thewaterhesentoverhisbalconyeverydayendedupontheMcKay's,ortoooften,ontheMcKaysthemselves.史密斯住在麦凯一家的楼上，看起来他不仅热衷于园艺，还是个鱼类收藏家。不幸的是，他每天在阳台上浇的水最终都落在麦凯家，或者经常落在麦凯夫妇身上。[助读讲解]⑧notonly...butalso...结构中，notonly置于句首，句子用部分倒装。“Forthelastfortnight,sinceSmithmovedintotheflataboveus,wehavehardlydaredgoontoourbalcony，”saidLaurene.Sheaddedthatitwasn'tsomuchthewaterfallingontotheirbalconyfromSmithwateringhisplantsthatbotheredthem⑨，itwasmorethewayhecleanedhisfishtanks.“We'dbesittingtherehappilyreadingournewspapers,when⑩suddenlysomuchwaterwouldefromabovethatwe'dbeaswetasifwe'dshoweredwithourclotheson!Neithercouldwegetridofthesmelloffish！”劳伦娜说：“自从史密斯搬进我们楼上的房间，在过去的两个星期里，我们几乎不敢去自己的阳台。”她又补充道，其实使得他们真正烦恼的不是史密斯浇花落在阳台上的水，而是史密斯清洁鱼缸的方式。“我们本来坐在那里开开心心地看报纸，突然间很多水从天而降，我们就好像穿着衣服洗澡一样全身湿透！而且鱼腥味很难除掉。”[助读讲解]⑨本句是复合句；add后that引导宾语从句，从句使用了强调句，强调主语somuchthewater。⑩现在分词短语作sitting的伴随状语。bedoing...when...是固定句式，表示“正在做……突然……”。AndonSaturdayeveningitwasjusttoomuch.“ItwasJames'birthday，”explainedLaurene,“andI'dmadehimabirthdaycake.Thecandleswereagreatsightasyoucanimagine,butJamesdidn'tgettoblowthemout.”而星期六晚上的事情就太过分了。“那天是詹姆斯的生日，”劳伦娜解释说，“我为他做了一个生日蛋糕，你可以想象到那些蜡烛是多么壮观的一个景象，但是詹姆斯没有能够吹灭它们。”Instead,SmithemptiedoneofhislargertanksoverhisbalconyandboththeMcKaysandthecakewerewetthrough.RarelyhadLaureneseenMcKaymovesofast.“Icouldn'tstophim.Hewasupthereinaflash(瞬间)．ItwasthefastestI'dseenhimmovesince1964.”,相反，史密斯在他的阳台倒空了一大缸水，麦凯夫妇和蛋糕全都湿透了。劳伦娜几乎没有见过麦凯跑得那么快。“我阻止不了他。刹那间，他就在那儿了。那是自1964年以来我所看到他跑得最快的一次。”Smithisnotgoingtotakethingsfurtherwiththepolice.Hehasalsopromisedtochangehiswaysfromnowon.AndwhatofJamesMcKay⑪？Asheleftthepolicestationalargecrowdofsupporterssanghim,“HappyBirthday”．“Definitelythemostexcitingbirthdayever！”saidthecheerfuloldman.“ThebestsincemyadolescenceI'dsay！” 史密斯将不会向警方进一步追究这件事。他也承诺从现在起改变自己的方式。而詹姆斯·麦凯又怎样呢？当他离开警察局时，一大群支持者向他唱歌庆祝：“生日快乐。”愉快的老人说：“毫无疑问这是最令人兴奋的生日！我得说这是我自青少年时代以来度过的最好的生日！”[助读讲解]⑪Whatof...？关于……怎么样？第一步速读——了解文章主题和段落大意速读P20教材课文，匹配段落大意1．Para.1A．ThewriterswenttohaveaninterviewwithYangMing.2．Para.2B．ThelocalcouncilgaveYangMingawarning.3．Para.3C．YangMing'sneighbourswereintroublebeingexposedtothedrumnoise.4．Para.4D．YangMinghaslefthisapartmentbecauseofhisdrumming.5．Para.5E.YangMing'sdeparturehaspleasedhisneighbours.[答案]1－4DCBEA第二步细读——把控文章关键信息细读P20教材课文，选择最佳答案1．WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaboutYangMing?A．Heisadrummerforarockband.B．Hecouldn'tfallasleepbecauseofthenoisemadebyhisneighbours.C．Heisanalcoholic.D．Heheldpartieseverynight.2．WhydidaneighbourthinkYangMingwasabadinfluenceonhisson?A．Becauseheisabachelor.B．Becauseheheldpartieseverynight.C．Becausehemadealotofnoiseeverynight.D．Becauseheisanalcoholic.3．HowdidYangMing'sneighboursfeelafterhisdeparture?A．Theyfeltverysorryfortheirselfishness.B．Theyfeltpleased.C．Theyfeltsleepy.D．Theyfeltunbearable.4．WhatdoweknowaboutMr.McKay?A．Heisbothakeengardenerandafishcollector.B．Heisnotapeacefulman.C．HehitSmithbecausethelatterwateredhisflowersonthebalcony.D．HewassetfreeonSunday.5．Whydidn'tMr.McKaygettoblowthecandlesout?A．Becauseheistoooldandhasnoteeth.B．Becausethereweretoomanycandle
