Grammar 【知识梳理1】基本句型 一、双宾语及句型(S+V+O+O) 部分及物动词后可接两个宾语:指人的间接宾语和指物的直接宾语,构成 “主谓双宾” 句型。间接宾语可转换为 “to/for + 间接宾语” 结构,具体用 to 还是 for 取决于动词。 动词类型 句型结构 转换形式 示例 接 to 的动词(表 “给予”) 动词 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语 动词 + 直接宾语 + to + 间接宾语 He gave me a gift. = He gave a gift to me. 接 for 的动词(表 “为了”) 动词 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语 动词 + 直接宾语 + for + 间接宾语 I bought her a book. = I bought a book for her. Mom made me a cake. = Mom made a cake for me. 注意事项 1. to 与 for 的固定搭配:接 to 的动词多表 “传递”(如 give, teach, show);接 for 的动词多表 “制作、购买”(如 buy, make, cook),不可混用(如错误:He bought a pen to me. 正确:He bought a pen for me.) 2. 间接宾语为代词时:通常保留双宾语结构,不转换(如方便:She passed him the salt. 不便:She passed the salt to him.) 二、宾语补足语及句型(S+V+O+C) 宾语补足语用于补充说明宾语的状态或动作,构成 “主谓宾补” 句型,可由形容词、名词、动词 - ing 形式、不定式等充当。 宾补类型 示例 形容词作宾补 We keep the room clean.(我们保持房间干净。) 名词作宾补 They call him Tom.(他们叫他汤姆。) 动词 - ing 形式作宾补 I saw her dancing.(我看见她在跳舞。) 过去分词作宾补 We had the car repaired.(我们找人修了车。) 不定式作宾补 He asked me to wait.(他让我等。) (注:部分动词后不定式省略 to,如 let, make) 注意事项 1. 宾语与宾补的逻辑关系:宾补是宾语的状态或动作(如 “her” 是 “dancing” 的发出者,“car” 是 “repaired” 的承受者)。 2. 感官动词的宾补:see, watch 等感官动词后接动词 - ing 表 “动作正在进行”,接不带 to 的不定式表 “动作全过程”(如 I saw her cross the road.(我看见她过马路了。 全过程) vs. I saw her crossing the road.(我看见她正在过马路。 进行中))。 【知识梳理2】并列连词(and, but, or, so) 并列连词用于连接单词、短语或句子,表达并列、转折、选择或因果关系。 连词 含义 示例 and 和,又(并列) She likes singing and dancing.(她喜欢唱歌和跳舞。) but 但是(转折) He is short but strong.(他个子矮但强壮。) or 或者(选择) Would you like tea or coffee?(你要茶还是咖啡?) 否则(否定条件) Hurry up, or you’ll be late.(快点,否则你会迟到。) so 所以(因果) It rained, so we stayed at home.(下雨了,所以我们待在了家里。) 注意事项 1. so 与 because 不连用:because 表原因,so 表结果,两者不可同时出现在句中(如错误:Because he was ill, so he didn’t go. 正确:He was ill, so he didn’t go. / Because he was ill, he didn’t go.)。 2. 否定句中的并列:否定句中用 or 连接并列成分,不用 and(如错误:I don’t like apples and bananas. 正确:I don’t like apples or bananas.)。 3. 祈使句 + and/or + 陈述句:可表条件(如 Work hard, and you’ll succeed.(努力工作,你就会成功。))。 其他知识点: 1.

(P100) 副词Luckily修饰后边整个句子; pay attention to sth. /doing sth. 关注…… 如: Luckily, Amy didn’t pay attention to her classmates who laugh at her. 7. They are working really hard to find ways to save them. (P100) 副词really修饰动词短语work hard; 动词不定式to find ways to save them作目的状语;动词不定式to save them作后置定语修饰前面的名词ways。 Integration 1. Zhalong Nature Reserve is in Heilongjiang Province in the north-east of China.

When I arrived, I saw that he was talking with a stout (矮胖) gentleman with fiery (火焰般的) red hair. “Mr. Wilson here was explaining the thing about an unusual part-time job. Mr. Wilson, this is Doctor Watson. He has been my helper and friend for years.” I nodded and took a seat near Holmes. This stout man pulled from his pocket a dirty newspaper. As he did this, I took the chance to look at the men carefully. To my eye, Mr. Wilson seemed quite common (普通). He was overweight, and from his suit I could guess he might be a salesman. Other than his fiery red hair, I could find nothing special. Holmes, however, said, “It is easy to know that you have done a lot of writing, and at some time been to China.” Mr. Wilson looked at Holmes surprisedly and said, “How did you know? It is true!” “I knew from your hands. Your right hand is a little bit larger than your left.” “And how about China? That was so many years ago.” asked Mr. Wilson. “Well, you have a Chinese coin hanging from your watch chain,” answered Holmes. “Quite so!” Mr. Wilson was amazed. “I believe you were about to show us a newspaper advertisement.” said Holmes. “Yes! Here it is.” Below was what Holmes and I read: To all red-headed men: Mr. Hopkins has left his money to help all red-headed men. Members can get a salary (薪水) of 4 pounds a week. All red-headed men 20 years old or older are able to join. Apply in person on Monday at 11:00 to Duncan Ross at the League Office. I read it again and wondered, “What does it mean?” Mr. Wilson talked about his fantastic part-time job. He has got the job not because of any skill or ability, but only because he had red hair. He had worked there for 8 weeks and received a handsome salary of 4 pounds per week. But one morning he went to the work only to find his office closed and his job gone.

C A food chain is a way to show the relationships (关系) among living things in the nature. It shows the path (路径) the energy takes from the sun through producers and consumers to decomposers. Everything needs energy to live on. A producer is a living thing that makes energy from the sun. It absorbs sunlight, turns it into energy and keeps it. A perfect example of a producer is a vegetable or fruit. These plants take in sunlight through their green leaves, produce energy, and keep it in the other parts of the plant, such as its fruit and flowers-what is most useful to consumers. A consumer is a living thing in the food chain that eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers (蚱蜢), eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, consumers like lions and tigers often eat other animals below them in the food chain. In this way, energy can be passed to other consumers. A decomposer is a living thing in the food chain that gets its energy from both consumers and producers by eating dead plants and animals. Ants and some other insects are good examples of decomposers. These living things eat dead plants and animals, take in the energy to live on and put new energy into the earth. Plants use the energy to make energy of their own to start the cycle again. The food chain includes all living things on the earth and is difficult to understand. We can make an easy picture of the food chain by choosing just one groups of living things. Here is an example of a simple (简单的) food chain. 32. Which of the following living things may be a decomposer? A. Butterflies. B. Bamboos. C. Cranes. D. Ants. 33. What does the word “absorb” mean in paragraph 2? A. Make. B. Catch. C. Eat. D. Save. 34. Which of the following picture shows how the food chain works? A. B. C. D. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Consumers are animals living on meat. B. Producers can only live on the sunlight. C. Decomposers are dangerous to other life. D. Every living thing is important to the earth. 四、信息还原 (本大题共5小题,每小题1分,共5分) 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容及选项,从文后选出最合适的选项填入空格内,选项中有两项多余。 Earthquakes are one of the most serious natural disasters. _36_ It is a good way recommended by emergency management organizations (应急管理组织) in many countries.
