of shoes.

英语语音中/j/和/w/是半元音, 如果前一个词以辅音音素结尾, 后一个词以半元音, 特

别是/j/开头, 也要连读。如: Did you go to Shanghai last year?

如果短语之间或分句之间有停顿，其相邻的音不连读。如:

Can you speak Chinese or… English?

3. Now listen again and repeat.

Step 7 Grammar

介绍宾语从句的定义和分类。

一、定义

我们在第六模块复习了简单句的几种基本句型, 其中有一种是“主语+谓语+宾语”的结构。

其中, 名词、代词、动词的-ing形式或to do形式都可以作宾语，例如buy a book, beat him, stop doing sth., want to do sth.等。这些例子中的宾语是用一个单词或短语来表达的。

但是, 当要用英语表达“我知道你昨天去看电影了”时，我们就无法在know后用一个单词表达出“你昨天去看电影了”这个意思。“你昨天去看电影了”这个结构中包含行为本身，行为的发出者和行为的承受者，是一个完整的句子，因此只能用句子表达。这种放在动词后面作宾语的句子, 我们称为“宾语从句”。

二、类型

宾语从句分为三类：

1. that 引导的宾语从句

I hope (that) it will snow this winter.

2. whether/if 引导的宾语从句

I’m not sure if he will come.

3. 疑问词引导的宾语从句

I want to know what he will do next.

Step 7 Language points

1. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres.

square kilometre, 表示“平方公里”。例如：

Our school is about one square kilometre, it’s very large.

2. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks.

be famous for 是一个固定短语，意为“因……而闻名；以……著名”。主语既可以是表示人的词语也可以是表示地点的词语。主语是表示人的词语时，表示以某种技能或特征而闻名；主语是表示地点的词语时，表示以某种特产或某处名胜古迹而著名。

如：

The town is famous for its hot springs.

He is famous for his sweet voice.

shape 表示“形状”。例如：

What’s the shape of the building?

That cloud has a strange shape.

3. It woke everybody up.

wake的过去式为woke，过去分词为woken。wake up是固定短语，意为“叫醒……”。当wake up的宾语是名词时，宾语可放在wake和up的中间或up的后面；当wake up的宾语是代词时，宾语只能放在wake和up的中间。例如：

Don’t wake up the baby.

= Don’t wake the baby up.

Let’s wake him up now.

4. We came out without making any noise,...

without doing sth. 表示“没有做某事”。

make noise 表示“产生噪音，发出声响。

例如：

He walked past me without making any noise.

5. We thought somebody was moving about.

somebody 表示“某人”，用在肯定句中。

在否定句和疑问句中要用anybody。例如：

Is there anybody playing football on the playground?

6. But it was a pity that it was cloudy.

“It’s a pity that + 从句”，表示“很遗憾...…”。例如：

It’s a pity that he failed the exam.

7. I pulled a leaf off a plant,...

pull 作动词时，可意为“拉，拖，拔”，表示把物体用力向自己的方向拉并使其移动。和pull相对应的词是push，意为“推”。如：

Don’t push the door. Pull it, please.

pull sth. off …表示“从…...拉下...…”。例如：

The child pulled a flower off the plant.

Step 8 Grammar

that引导的宾语从句

当谓语动词表示肯定的概念，如“希望、相信、知道、说”时，其后面的句子一般用that

引导。that 没有任何词汇含义，只有语法功能，目的是使读者清楚后面的句子是宾语从句。多数情况下that 可以省略。例如：

I hope (that) it will snow this winter.

Betty thinks (that) trees can improve the air.

常接that 宾语从句的谓语动词有：believe, expect, explain, feel, hear, hope, imagine, prefer, promise, report, say, see, tell, think, under, stand, warn, wish等。
