教材分析
本單元對話引出地震這個話題。對話中提到了地震的時候的現象和人的感受。本單元的閱讀課文是了解發生在San Francisco地區的嚴重地震場景和有關地震發生時的基本常識。同時在文章里有一些重要的語法知識,如定語從句的使用:A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. etc.
重點知識講解:
1.What does "quake" means , as in the word "earthquake"?
像" earthquake" 這個詞中的quake是什么意思?
As in the word "earthquake" 是個省略結構,完整的說法為:as it does in the word "earthquake". as 在此為連詞,表示“如“的意思。
It sounded like a train that was going under my house. 那聲音聽起來就像有一列火車在我的房子底下開過似的。
sound 為系動詞,后接名詞、介詞短語做表語,意思是“聽起來”。
Your idea sounds (like ) a good one.你的注意聽起來不錯。
What he said sounded like a fairy-tale.他所說的話聽起來就像神話故事。
表示“聽起來像什么”的時候,用sound like….。like 在此是介詞表示“像”的意思。類似于sound的常用系動詞還有:feel, taste, smell, look.
例如:
Cotton feels very soft. 棉花摸起來很柔軟。
It looks like a beautiful picture. 那看上去就像一幅美麗的畫。
2.I was in the kitchen cooking something and I felt the floor move. 我當時正在廚房里作飯,我覺得地板動了一下。
cooking something 在本句中為現在分詞短語做伴隨狀語。
句中的move是省略了to 的不定式,做賓語補足語。動詞feel的賓語補足語可以是動詞原形,也可以是動詞的ing形式或過去分詞形式。
例如:
When I heard his words, I felt my heart beating faster.聽了他的話,我感到心跳加快了。
He felt someone knock at the door. 他感到有人敲了一下門。
he boy felt his back patted by someone. 那個男孩子感到有人拍了他的脊背。
3. And then I watched all the glasses on the table fall off onto the floor. 后來我觀察到桌子上所有玻璃杯子掉到了地板上。
辨析:fall off / fall down
fall off 表示“從。。。。上落下或掉下”。off為介詞或副詞。fall down的意思是“倒塌、掉下”,不強調落物的來處。
例如:
I saw him fall off his horse.我看到他從馬上掉了下來。
Flowers fell off to the ground. 花兒凋謝了,落到了地上。
Autumn comes and leaves are falling off the trees. 秋天到了,落葉紛紛。
A stone fell down in the earthquake. 一塊石頭落了下來,砸中了他。
The old house fell down in the earthquake. 老房子在地震中倒塌了。
4.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.城市的大部分地區被摧毀,許許多多建筑物被火吞噬。
A number of 相當于many.意思為“許多”,后跟可數名詞的復數形式。短語中的number前可以由large / small來修飾,構成a large / great / small number of 短語。
例如:
1)A number of people were killed in the traffic accident. 有許多人在那場車禍中喪生。
2)A large number of students went to see Mr. Zhang when he was ill.張老師生病的時候有許多的學生去看望他。
Only a small number of people are against this plan.只有少數人反對這個計劃。
辨析:a number of / the number of
a number of 意思為“許多”。中心詞為of后面的復數形式。
the number of 的意思為 “…的數量”,中心詞為number,因此,“the number of +復數名詞”,做主語時謂語動詞為單數第三人稱形式。
