[教學內容]

高中英語第二冊（上）

教學要求：

1、掌握本單元的單詞，詞組與句型。

2、學會幾句常用口語：

Don’t you think that Ireland belongs to the UK? 你不認爲愛爾蘭屬於聯合王國嗎？

I’m not so sure about that. 我吃不準。

No, you are wrong thinking so. 不，你這樣想是借的。

Surely it must be an independent republic. 它一定是個獨立的共和國。

I believe that you’ve got it right. 你想你對了。

3、語法：名詞性從句⑴

[知識重點與學習難點]

1、The fact that Great Britain is made up of three countries is still unknown to many.

大不列顛由三個國家組成，這個事實許多人還不知道。

這裏that…是名詞性從句作同位語，是指這個事實。make up是主動式，上句可改成：

Three counties make up Great Britain.

被動式總是be made up of = consist of 意爲由……組成，其中of不能代之by。

make up其他一些常見用法：

John made up a joke about the talking dog. 約翰編了一個會講話狗的笑話。

You must make up the work you missed. 你一定得把你沒做完的工作補上。

Most women make up (their faces). 大多數女人都化妝。

Pay increases will not always make up for poor working conditions.

增加工資不總是能彌補惡劣的工作條件。

2、The British Isles are a group of islands that lies off the west coast of Europe.

不列顛羣島是位於歐洲西海岸外面的一羣島嶼。

羣島作爲整體集合作單數，作爲許多島嶼也可作複數處理，所以這出現了are與lies似乎矛盾的現象。

off the coast 指海岸外，在海上。 on the coast 指在海岸線上，海邊，大陸上。

見例：

The city lies on the west coast of America. 這城市位於美國西海岸。

The small island lies 70 miles off the east coast of America.

這小島位於美國東海岸外70英里處。

3、In the summer months the difference in temperature between London and the north can be as much as nine degrees. 夏日倫敦與北方的溫差可達九度。

There could be as many as six hundred thousand sheep fed within six miles of Salisbury, measuring every way round and the town in the center.

計算一下以索爾茲伯裏市爲中心的方圓六英里內，養有多達60萬隻羊。

這裏as much as與as many as同義，多達……，但溫度是不可數名詞（儘管degrees是複數）只能用as much as，而羊是可數名詞當然用as many as …，又例：

The maglev can move as much as 400 kilometers per hour.

磁懸浮列車的速度每小時高達400公里。

They have built as many as 180 bridges so far. 至今爲止他們造了多達180座橋。

4、make use of, make the best of及make the most of：

這三個短語都有利用之意，但有細別：

make use of 利用

Do you want to make use of the waste paper? 你要利用這些廢紙嗎？

You should make good use of your spare time. 你應該好好利用你的空餘時間。

The main use they make of the satellite is to broadcast TV programs.

他們利用這衛星的主要用途是傳播電視節目。

make the most of 充分利用

George studied hard. He wanted to make the most of his chance to learn.

full use

喬治努力學習。他要充分利用他的學習機會。

make the best of，儘量利用，善用，含有使不利變有利的意義：

Make the best of your limited time. 善用你有限的時間。

We have lost the train, but we must make the best of it.

我們誤了火車，但我們必須儘量不弄得更糟。

Since we can’t find a bigger apartment, we’ll have to make the best of what we have.

既然我們找不到更大的公寓，就得好好適應我們的現狀。

5、It is twenty five miles across the fields to Salisbury. 跨越25英里的田野到達索爾茲伯裏。

這裏用across不用from，因田野是一片不是一個地點，from … to是指兩點之間：

It is 2 kilometers from my home to school. 從我家到學校有2公里。

It is 500 miles across the desert to the small town. 越過沙漠到這個小鎮要走500英里。

小結it的無人稱用法：

①上述例子it是指距離。

②可指時間：

It’s 5.00 now. It is Monday today.

③指天氣：

It’s warm. It rains every day.

④指環境：

It is noisy in the classroom. It is very beautiful beside the lake.

6、As we traveled through this country, we saw many old relics from ancient times and ruin of the native population of this kingdom.

我們旅行穿過鄉村時，看到了許多古代的文物，還有這個王國土著人的廢墟。

這句as與when同義，更強調同步，含一邊旅行，一邊觀光之意，又例：

Helen listened to music as she washed. He washed as he passed.

As it grew darker, it became colder.

7、It is built where two rivers come together. 它建於兩河交匯處。

where是地點狀語從句：

I found the books where I left them.

Where there’s plenty of sun and rain, the fields are green.

8、kind與sort。

兩詞同義，但sort可作動詞，作分類解。

①表示種類：

all kinds/sorts of books/food 各種書/食物

different

many 許多種書/食物

three 三種書/食物

this kind/sort of book/food或books/food this kind/sort 這種書/食物

that that 那種書/食物

a kind/sort of book/food 一種書/食物

of a kind/sort 貶義：

②轉義：

He is a kind /sort of genus. 他可算一個天才。

9、Although a small country, it has an amazing history of over 5000 years.

雖然是個小國但它有5000多年的驚人的歷史。

這Although是省略從句 = Although it is a small country, …如改成in spite of或despite則應：

In spite of being a small country, being不去掉爲宜。

Despite

10、Since Ireland became independent, the Irish government has recognized that if nothing is done, this part of Irish culture will disappear.

自從愛爾蘭獨立以來，愛爾蘭政府已經認識到如果不採取對策，愛爾蘭文化會滅亡。

二、閱讀理解：

In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in a plane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.

One was Louis Bleriot, who owned a factory in France that made motorcar lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had crashed several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel, but he will certainly be the first to die in a crash!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot.

The other man was Hubert Latham. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast, his plane had engine trouble. It crashed into the water and began to sink under the water. When a boat reached him. Latham was smoking calmly on the wing. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. Finally he got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs officer rushed up to his plane and asked, “Have you anything to declare?”
