课时 1 Section A (1a -2d)
1 silent adj. 不说话的;沉默的
(1)silent 是形容词,在句中可以作定语,
用来修饰名词,也可以作表语。 keep
silent 是固定搭配,意为“保持沉默”。
(2)其名词形式为 silence,意为“沉默;无
声”。 常用短语: in silence 沉默地,
无声地

2 Mario, you used to be short, didn’ t you?
马里奥,你过去很矮,不是吗?
本句是反意疑问句。 反意疑问句要
遵循“前肯后否,前否后肯”的原则。
(1)反意疑问句的两种基本形式:
肯定的陈述句 +否定的附加问句
否定的陈述句 +肯定的附加问句
(2)反意疑问句的答语:
反意疑问句的答语应符合事实。
事实是肯定的,用 yes;事实是否定
的,用 no。 当反意疑问句是“前否后
肯”的结构时,其答语的翻译要以事
实为依据,yes 翻译为“不”,no 翻译
为“是的”。
例:—He didnt come to school yesterday,
did he? 他昨天没来学校,是吗?
—Yes, he did. 不,他来学校了。
—No, he didnt. 是的,他没有来
学校。

—Hes tall now. 他现在长高了。
be like 的意思是“像;相像;犹如,恰

是什么样?
【拓展】 “What is sb. like?” “What does
sb. look like?” 与 “ How is sb. ?” “What
does sb. like?”的意思是不同的。 “What
is sb. like?”是询问某人固有的品质、特
征、性格等;“What does sb. look like?”询
问某人的外貌、长相等;“How is sb. ?”询
问某人目前的状况,如身体健康情况、感
觉等。 而“What does sb. like?”用来询问
某人喜欢什么, like 为动词 “喜欢” 的
意思。
例:—What does Li Hua like? 李华喜欢
什么?
—He likes swimming. 他喜欢游泳。
