Section Ⅲ Using language
语法项目——构词法
语境中体悟
What is language for? It is for the exchange of ideas and information①. It's meaningless② knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely③. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly④ or fluently⑤. They think English is a headache⑥. They are frightened⑦ of making mistakes. They are unable⑧ to communicate with a foreigner⑨. Native speakers⑩make mistakes and break rules, too. Though Chinese students who are learning English should pay attention to grammar, they shouldn't overdo⑪ it. They should put communication⑫ first. When communicating with others, calm⑬ down and have a try⑭.
[语法入门]

⑥合成:head(头)+ache(疼痛)→n.头疼

⑨派生:foreign(外国的)+er(名词后缀)→n.外国人
⑩派生:speak(说话)+er(名词后缀)→n.说话者
⑪合成:over(超过)+do(做)→v. 做过头

⑭转化:try(v.尝试) →try(n.尝试)
学案中理清
英语中单词的构成方法常见的有:合成法、派生法、转化法、截短法和缩略法。
一、合成法
合成法是把两个或两个以上的独立且语义不同的单词连在一起合成一个新词,有的用连字符“”连接,有的直接写在一起,还有的由分开的两个词构成。用合成法构成的词叫做合成词。
1.合成名词
构成方式
举例
构成方式
举例
名词+名词
Bookshop

动词+名词
Playground

名词+动词
Daybreak
破晓
副词+名词
Downtown
市中心
名词+
动词ing
handwriting书写
形容词+
名词
greenhouse温室
2.合成形容词
构成方式
举例

manmade

形容词+动词ing

代词+名词
anything 任何东西

5.合成动词
构成方式
举例
名词+动词
sunbathe晒太阳 typewrite打字
形容词+动词
whitewash粉饰 safeguard保卫
副词+动词
overthrow推翻 upset使生气
[名师点津]
(1)合成名词的复数形式通常是把主体名词变复数。若没有主体名词,则在最后一个词后面加复数形式。例如:fatherinlaw→fathersinlaw, grownup→grownups。
(2)由man或woman构成的合成名词变复数时,两个名词都要变成复数。
例如:woman doctor→women doctors。
(3)由“名词+名词”构成的合成名词,在变复数时,只变化中心名词,而修饰名词不变。
例如:girlfriend→girlfriends。
[对点练]
(1)写出下列合成词的汉语意思
①salesman 售货员
②snowwhite 雪白的
③hardworking 勤奋的
④blacklist 黑名单
⑤roommate 室友
⑥overeat 使吃过量;_吃得过饱
(2)将下列合成名词变为复数形式
①daughterinlaw→daughtersinlaw
②gobetween→gobetweens
③man teacher→men_teachers
④Englishman→Englishmen

前缀
il→illegal 非法的

micro(微)→microscope 显微镜
for/fore(先;预)→forecast 预报
co(共;同)→cooperation 合作
mini(小型)→miniskirt 迷你裙

三、转化法
转化法是指把一种词性用作另一种词性而词形不变的方法。
转化

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Elements of Latin have made their way into many Western countries. Data varies, but as much as 70% of words in English have a Latin or Greek root (词根).
By learning more about these roots and how they combine to create words, you will have an advantage in understanding new words, even if you've never seen them before.
The great thing is that it's not hard to learn these roots and recognise the patterns. You're not learning the whole language with its grammar and difficult points. You just need to memorise some parts of the vocabulary that you often see in English.
So how do word roots work?
Every word has a root. This part contains the key to a word's meaning. Take the word “happy” for example. This word only contains the root, which means “full of joy”. There's nothing more to the meaning of the word in this form.
Some words, however, have extra parts. We call these affixes, including prefixes, the part attached before the root, and suffixes, the part attached behind the root. Based on the additional meaning of the prefixes and suffixes, the meaning of the final word will be shaped to mean something new.
Take the word “autobiography” for example. The root is “bio”, meaning life. You may have noticed that many words with “bio” have something to do with life or living beings — biology, biography, and so on. When the suffix “graph”, meaning to write, is added to it, it means a story about someone's or something's life. “Auto” means by oneself. Altogether, an “autobiography” is a story about a person's life, written by the person himself or herself.
In a word, a better grasp of word roots can make you understand the English language better, and will help you with your vocabulary recognition and memory skills.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了英语词根在英语单词学习中的重要作用。
1.What's needed to understand new words with roots?
A.A good understanding of Latin or Greek.
B.A full understanding of grammar.
C.The ability to recognise different parts of words.
D.The ability to speak various Western languages.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,用词根理解生词需要拥有识别单词不同部分的能力。
2.What do we know about the root?
A.It can't form a word by itself.
B.It is a necessary part of a word.
C.It is of greater importance than affixes.
D.It has no impact on a word's meaning.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Every word has a root.”可知,词根是构成一个单词必不可少的一部分。
3.What is the meaning of “biochemistry”?
A.The science that is related to living things.
B.A person who does research about chemistry.
C.A person who does research about living things.
D.The study of chemical reactions related to living things.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“You may have noticed that many words with ‘bio’ have something to do with life or living beings”以及“chemistry”可知,“biochemistry”应当同时含有生物和化学的意思。
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A.Secret of Understanding New Words
B.Latin's Way into Western Languages
C.Amazing Power of Affixes
D.Hints on Language Exams
解析:选A 标题归纳题。根据第二段并结合下文内容可知,全文主要讲述如何通过词根来更有效地学习新词汇。A项“理解新单词的秘诀”可以作为文章的标题。
