五、重点、难点、考点及疑点注释

1. Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. 请原谅我没能很快给你回信。（Section A, 3a）

（1）get back to sb. 意为“给……回信”（= write back to sb.）。如：

I will get back to my mother. 我将给我妈妈回信。

（2）sooner是副词 soon 的比较级，放在句末作状语。soon 可置于句末、句中，有时也可放在句首。如果谓语动词是be，则位于 be 之后。如：

Soon her mother will go to Europe. 不久他母亲就要去欧洲了。

I have to go home very soon. 我很快就得回家了。

The sooner, the better. 越快越好。

2. In the past twelve months, they’ve had three major concerts and made a hit CD. 在过去的十二个月里，他们举办了三场较大的音乐会，出版了一张很受欢迎的CD唱片。（Section B, 3a）

（1）“in the past+时间段”常用于完成时的句子中，表示“在过去的……时间里”，past是形容词，可以用last来替换，而past/last的后面通常要使用“数字+名词”的结构。

In the past/last two years, she has studied English very hard.

在过去的两年里，她一直在努力地学英语。

（2）短语make a hit表示“大获成功”、“（演出等）大受欢迎；受到赞扬”等，hit是名词，表示成功而风行一时的事物，如电影，歌曲，演出等。

Zhou Jielun has just made a hit CD. 周杰伦刚出版了一盘轰动一时的CD。

His song was a great hit. 他的歌曲轰动一时。

He made a great hit in teaching. 他曾在教学上获得了巨大的成功。

3. And then they’re going to go on a world tour in which they will perform in ten different cities. 然后，他们将去世界各地旅行并在十个不同的城市巡回演出。（Section B, 3a）

...in which they will perform in ten different cities是定语从句，先行词是tour, 在关系代词which前介词in通常的位置是在动词perform的后面。本句为了避免与in ten different cities短语中的in重复，将perform后的第一个in前置。句中perform主要指扮演角色，演奏某种乐器，演出某一节目，侧重能力，技巧，效果，可用作及物动词和不及物动词。

He performs perfectly on the piano. 他的钢琴演奏太棒了。

She is learning how to perform. 她正在学习怎样表演。

4. Be sure not to miss them if they come to a city near you — if you can get tickets, that is.如果他们来到你附近的城市，千万不要错过——当然，如果你能弄到票的话。（Section B, 3a）

（1）句中的that is表示“确切地；换句话说；也就是”，用来表达一个准确的说法，即对前面的内容加以准确地说明。

She’s a housewife — when she’s not teaching English, that is.

她是个家庭主妇——是指她不教英语的时候。

（2）句中miss是“错过”，后接名词、代词或V-ing形式，不可接不定式。

They missed the train by two minutes.他们差了两分钟没赶上火车。

I came late and missed seeing the beginning of the movie.

我来晚了，没有看见电影的开始部分。

5. ...but we really hope to have a number one hit some day. ……但是我们真的希望有朝一日我们制作出能卖得最好的一首歌。（Section B, 3a）

some day意为“将来某一日”，等于someday, 与one day是近义词。some day/someday只表示将来，不表示过去。而one day用在过去时的句子里是“有一天”的意思，用在将来时的句子里是“将有一天”，与some day/someday可互换。

He will be a scientist some day.总有一天他会成为科学家。

I hope to see you one day/someday.我希望有一天会看到你。

One day last summer they made a trip to the country.

去年夏天某日他们到乡间旅行。

试译：有一天你一定要来看我。

You must come one day to see me.

You must come some day to see me.

You must come to see me someday.

魔力纠错

他有一天来看了我。

误：He came some day to see me.

正：He came one day to see me.

6. ...and so far has brought thousands of overseas Chinese students...  ……到目前为止，它带来了成千上万的海外华裔学生……（Reading）

so far 意思是“到目前为止”，常用于完成时，表示动作从过去开始一直延续到现在，强调到目前为止的情况,可位于句首，也可位于句末。

So far, no man has traveled farther than the moon.

到现在为止，还没有人到过比月球更远的地方。

How many travelers have been to Disneyland so far?

到现在为止有多少旅客到过迪斯尼乐园？

So far we haven’t got any news from them.

到目前为止，我们还没有得到他们的任何消息。

7. Most, like Robert, can hardly speak any Chinese, and have never been to China before. 像罗伯特一样，大多数人几乎都不会说中文，而且以前从来没有到过中国。（Reading）

（1）hardly是一个否定副词，表示“几乎不，简直不”，相当于almost not，含有否定的意义，故在句中不能另加否定词。切莫将hardly误认为是由hard+ly构成的副词。此外，hardly 位于句首时，要用倒装语序。

I hardly know what to say. 我简直不知道说什么好。

Hardly can I move this heavy desk. 我简直移不动这张重桌子。

—Can you catch what I said? 你能听懂我说的话吗？

—Sorry, I can hardly understand it. 对不起，我几乎听不懂。

（2）have been后面接to表示某人“去过某地，现在已经回来了”。

Have you ever been to Shanghai? 你曾经去过上海吗？

He has been to America twice. 他到美国去过两次。

【友情链接】have gone to与have been in的用法

have gone to 表示某人“去某地了”，不论是在途中还是到了目的地，重点是强调这个人已经不在说话人所在的地方了，常用于第三人称；have been in，则表示一直“呆在某个地方”，常与表示一段时间状语连用。

Henry has gone to London. 亨利到伦敦去了。

They have been in Beijing for two weeks. 他们在北京已经有两个星期了。

8. Thanks to In Search of Roots... 多亏“寻根”…… （Reading）

【知识归纳】thanks, thanks to与thanks for的用法

◎ thanks是名词thank的复数形式，意为“感谢”。表示“感谢”之意，可以说：

Thanks a lot.

Many thanks.

◎ thanks to是介词词组，后面可以接名词或代词，意为“多亏”；“由于”，在句中作原因状语。

Thanks to the old man, we found the lost child at last.

多亏那个老人，我们最后找到了失踪的孩子。

◎ thanks for用于对别人已做的事表示感谢，后接名词，代词，或V-ing形式。

Thanks for sending me such a nice present.谢谢你寄来这么好的礼品。

A thousand thanks for your help.非常感谢你的帮助。

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution(污染). They join “environment club (环境俱乐部)”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.

Here are some things students often do:

No-garbage（垃圾）lunch. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the  classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teacher! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember:

Walk, jump, bike or run.

Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!

Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste（浪费）twenty to forty m³ of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

She hurried to a drugstore (药店)with the money in her hand .

 “And what do you want?”asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,”the girl answered .“He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “ Pardon?” said the salesman .

“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”

Beijing chose five special doll mascots for the 20## Olympic games on Friday November 11, 2005. They represent (代表) a panda, a Tibetan antelope, a swallow (燕子), a fish and the spirit of the Olympic flame (火焰).

The mascots are called “Five Friendlies”. The names of the five dolls are “Beibei” “Jingjing” “Huanhuan” “Yingying” and “Nini”. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda and also means “capital city”, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. They together mean “Beijing welcomes you.”

The mascot of the Olympic games usually becomes known to the public with only 1,000 days to go before the Games. The mascots will join the official games slogan (口号) “One World, One Dream”.

“The mascots carry the idea of the Games,” BOCOG official Zhang Ming said, “They’re part of Chinese culture. They show the Chinese people’s hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics. They should be popular with children and liked by people from around the world.”

The mascots will be put on T-shirts, bags, cups, pens, and anything to do with the Olympics. Coloured in the five colors of the Olympic rings, they also represent the sea, forests, fire, earth and air.

Several mascots are not strange. The 20## Sydney games had three native Australian animals and two years later in Salt Lake City a hare, coyote (郊狼) and bear represented the event.

“We have been pleased about them,” IOC chairman Hein Verbruggen said in Beijing. “That means we like them, or we wouldn’t have done that.”

Dear Jim,

How’s everything? I haven’t heard from you for a long time. I missed you very much. I have finished my exams. I did very well in the exams. Now I’m spending my holiday at home.

I’m very busy every day, especially today. I have so many chores to do. I have to do my homework, of course. I started about an hour ago, but I haven’t finished. Then I have to water flowers and do some shopping.

My father has just bought a personal computer. In the evening I will have a computer class. Now I have learned to send e-mails to my friends. It’s very interesting.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Li Ming
