Unit 1 How can we become good learners?

1.请在字典里找一找下这个字。

误：Please look for the word in the dictionary.

正：Please look up the word in the dictionary.

解析：look for意为“寻找某人（物）”，要说在词典或参考书中“查寻”单词或资料时，常用look up。如：

If you don’t kn ow the meaning the word, look it up in the dictionary.

如果你不知道一个词的意思，可以查词典。

He got out his dictionary and looked up the word “cough”.

他拿出词典查了查“cough”这个单词。

[课文要点]But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary. (P3)

2. 今天晚上我必须写完这封信。

误：I have to finish to write the letter this evening.

正：I have to finish writing the letter this evening.

解析：finish意为“完成”，用作及物动词，后跟名词，代词或动词-ing形式，不可以跟动词不定式。如：

We finished doing our homework.

我们已经做完了家庭作业。

[课文要点]I have to finish reading a book and give a report next Monday. (P2)

3. 他不愿依赖他的父母供给衣食。

误：He didn’t want to depend his parents for food and clothing.

正：He didn’t want to depend on his parents for food and clothing.

解析：depend意为“依靠”；“信赖”，用作不及物动词。如：

depend一般要与on/upon连用，后跟宾语。如：

Whether we’ll start or not tomorrow depends upon the weather.

我们明天出不出发，要看天气而定。

He didn’t want to depend on his parents for food and clothing.

他不愿依赖他的父母供给衣食。

[课文要点] But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. (P6)

4. 天气如此之好，我想去海滩。

误：It is so nice weather that I would like to go to the beach.

正：It is such nice weather that I would like to go to the beach.

解析：“so… that…”句型意为“如此（这么）……以至于……”，常引导结果状语从句。该句型中的so是副词，常用来修饰形容词或副词。如：

The classroom is so noisy that we can’t hear the teacher clearly.

教室太吵以至于我们听不清楚老师的话。

“such… that…”结构也可以表示“如此（这么）……以至于……”，加such用于修饰名词，

注意名词前常常可以有形容词修饰。如果是单数可数名词，则such后要不定冠词；如果是不可数名词或名词复数形式，则不加冠词。如：

He is such a good boy that everybody likes him.

他是那样的好孩子，以至于大家都喜欢他。

There are such a lot of people that we could hardly move on.

我很多，我们简直没法往前走。

[课文要点]The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. (P3)

5. 尽管天快黑了，但是我还是要马上走。

误：Although it is getting dark, but I have to leave right now.

正：Although it is getting dark, I have to leave right now.

正：It is getting dark, but I have to leave right now.

解析：although意为“尽管……但是……”；“虽然……但是……”，表示“让步关系”，引导让步状语从句，如果置于主句前常用逗号与主句隔开。注意：although不可以与but连用，二者只能先其一。如：

Although he is young, he is clever.

他年纪虽然轻，但是很聪明。

Although it was raining hard, they went on working in the field.

虽然在下大雨，但他们还继续在地里劳动。

Although引导的从句也不能与however连用，但可以与yet，still连用。如：

Although he was old, yet he worked hard.

他虽然年老了，但工作仍然很努力。

[课文要点]Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. (P3)

6. 我们班所有的人都到了。

误：Everyone in our class are here.

正：Everyone in our class is here.

人人都有做口语练习的机会。

[课文要点]Everyone is born with the ability to learn. (P6)

7. 我一直想知道她在干什么。

误：I kept to wonder what she was doing.

正：I kept wondering what she was doing.

I kept working after dark.

天黑后他们继续工作。

You shouldn’t keep thinking about it.

你不要总想着它。

[课文要点]Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. (P6)

8. 这是我们可以解决这个问题的最好方法。

误：This is the best way which we can solve this problem.

正：This is the best way (that) we can solve this problem.

解析：当先行词被形容词最高级修饰时，其后的定语从句只能用关系代词that引导，不能用which引导。如果that在该定语从句中作宾语，则可以省略；做主语则不能省略。如：English is the most difficult subject (that) you will learn during these years.

英语是这几年当中你所学科目最难的一科。

[课文要点]Good learners know the best way they can study. (P6)

9. 政府尽力帮助贫困儿童就学。

误：The government tries helping the poor children go to school.

正：The government tries to help the poor children go to school.

解析：try doing something与try to do something两者意思不同。try doing something“（用某种方法）尝试做某事”，表示想知道结果而尝试着做，否定形式为try not doing something。如：

We tried giving her milk to drink, but she didn’t get better.

我们试着给他喝牛奶，但她还是没有好转。

try to do something意为“努力（设法）去做某事”，强调付出努力，否定形式为try not to do something。如：

10. 你微笑的越多，就感觉越快乐。

误：You smile more, you will feel more happily.

正：The more you smile, the happier you will feel.

解析：“the more比较级+ the more比较级”，意为“越……，越……”在这种结构中，第一个the+比较级为状语从句，第二个the+比较级为主句，两个“the”的后面都必须跟形容词或副词的比较级形式。如：

The more you learn, the more easily you can get a job.

你学到的东西越多，你就越容易找到工作。

The more exciting it is, the happier they are.

越是有趣，他们就越是高兴。

注意：这种结构中的谓语动词一般情况下：主句用将来时态，从句用一般现在时态（代替将来时态）。如：

The sooner you start,the sooner you will finish.

你开始的越早，你就完成得越快。

[课文要点]The more you read, the faster you’ll be. (P2)

11. 你应该注意拼读这个单词。

误：You should pay attention to spell the word.

正：You should pay attention to spelling the word.

解析：pay attention to意为“注意”；“对……留心”，是一个固定搭配的词组，to是介词，其后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式，不可以后跟词原形。attention前面不能加物主代词或冠词，但可以用much，a lot of，more，little，no等修饰。如：

You must pay attention to your health. 你必须注意你的身体。

She told us to pay more attention to our pronunciation. 她告诉我们多注意语音。

Please pay attention to spelling the word. 请注意拼读这个单词。

[课文要点] Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to i t for a long time. (P6)

12. 他有说英语的能力。

误：He has the ability of speaking English.

正：He has the ability to speak English.

解析：ability意为“能力”；“本领”，多用作不可数名词。表示“有能力做某事”可以说have the ability to do something，但不可以接of加动词-ing形式。如：

Bruce has the ability to score a goal, but will he do it?

布鲁斯有进球的能力，但他会不会去做呢？

ability还可解作“才能”；“才干”；“技能”，特别指智力方面的能力，有复数形式。如：He is a man of many abilities. 他是一个有多方面才能的人。

[课文要点] Everyone is born with the ability to learn. (P6)
