3、 重难句型解析
1. 谈论未来的句子
(1) (教材原句)—What will the future be like? 未来会是什么样子?
—Well, there will be more people in cities, but the transport system will be more efficient. 嗯,城市里会有更多的人,但交通系统会更有效率。
there will be 是there be的一般将来时形式,表示“将会有,将要有”。
(2) (教材原句)—Will we be able to live on earth in 100 years? 100年后我们能在地球上生活吗?
—Yes, we will. I believe people will make the earth a better place. 是的,我们会的。我相信人们会让地球变得更美好。
in 100 years表示“一百年以后”,“in+时间段”可以表示“一段时间以后”,用于一般将来时。
make the earth a better place 是“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,当宾语补足语为名词时,常译为“使某物成为某物”。
(3) (教材原句)—Any other predictions?还有其他预测吗?
—Students probably won’t go to a school in the future. 学生将来可能不会去上学。

[随学随练]
单项填空
(1) ________ a new library built in our community next year.
A.There is B.There was C.There will be D.There are
【答案】C
【详解】句意:明年我们社区将建一座新图书馆。
考查there be句型的一般将来时。句中时间状语“next year”表示将来,因此句子应使用一般将来时。there be句型的一般将来时形式是“There will be”。故选C。
(2) The weather report says that the temperature ________ below zero in two days.
A.drops B.dropped C.will drop D.has dropped
【答案】C
【详解】句意:天气预报说两天后气温将降至零度以下。
考查时态。根据“in two days”可知,此处表示将来的事情,此处用一般将来时。故选C。
(3) —________ you practise, ________ mistakes you will make.
—Yes. Practice makes perfect.
A.The more; the more B.Less; fewer
C.The more; less D.The more; the fewer
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——你练习得越多,你犯的错误就会越少。——是的。熟能生巧。
考查形容词比较级。固定句型“the+比较级,the+比较级”表示“越……,越……”;根据句子语境和“Practice makes perfect”的含义,可知练习越多,错误应该越少,所以第一空用“The more”;“mistakes”是可数名词复数,用“fewer”修饰,“less”修饰不可数名词,所以第二空用“the fewer”。故选D。
2. 情态动词shall用于征求建议
(教材原句)Shall we go to see the sci-fi film?
shall用在疑问句中,与第一人称I或we连用表示提出意见或征求意见。
常用于提建议的句型:
· Let’s (not) do... .
· Why not do...?=Why don’t you do...?
· How/What about doing...?
· Would you like to do...?
[随学随练]

A.I’m afraid not. B.Why not?
C.What? D.Are you kidding?
【答案】B

考查情景交际。I’m afraid not.恐怕不行;Why not?为什么不呢;What?什么;Are you kidding?你在开玩笑吗?根据“That’ll be great fun.”可知,此处是同意对方的提议,选项B“Why not?为什么不呢?”符合语境。故选B。
(2) —________ we make a meal for our grandparents on Double Ninth Festival?
—Good idea. Let’s do it right now.
A.Must B.Will C.Could D.Shall
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——我们要不要在重阳节为祖父母做顿饭?——好主意。我们现在就做吧。
考查情态动词。must必须;will将;could能够;shall将会。根据“Good idea.”可知,对方是在提出建议,shall用于第一人称we或I,表示提出建议或征求意见,符合语境。故选D。
3. before引导时间状语从句
(教材原句)Machines will tell us how to solve small health problems before they become bigger.机器将告诉我们如何在小健康问题变得更大之前解决它们。
(教材原句)I think we will get home before it rains. 我想我们会在下雨前回家。
before用于引导时间状语从句,并且遵循“主将从现”原则。
[随学随练]
单项填空
(1) —Give him a call before he ________ our farm tomorrow afternoon.
—OK, I will.
A.leaves B.left C.will leave D.has left
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——在他明天下午离开我们农场之前,给他打个电话吧。——好的,我会的。
考查时间状语从句。根据“Give him a call before he...our farm tomorrow afternoon.”可知,在时间状语从句中,如果主句是祈使句或将来时,从句需用一般现在时表示将来。主语he为第三人称单数,动词变为单三形式leaves。故选A。
(2) Please make sure to close the windows ________ you leave the classroom.
A.until B.because C.before D.if
【答案】C
【详解】句意:离开教室前,请确保关上窗户。
考查连词辨析。until直到;because因为;before在……之前;if如果。根据“make sure to close the windows...you leave the classroom.”可知是在离开教室前,确保关上窗户。故选C。
4. 状语从句的省略
(教材原句)Do you think we will still use cash when shopping? 你认为我们购物时会仍然使用现金吗?
在时间状语从句、条件状语从句等状语从句中,当从句主语与主句主语一致时,从句可以省略。当从句主语是it时也可以省略。状语从句一般省略主语和部分谓语动词,如be动词等。
如:When I was walking along the street, I met one of my old friends.可省略为:When walking along the street,
I met one of my old friends.
If (it is) necessary, please call me. 可省略为:If necessary, please call me.
[随学随练]
单项填空
You must be careful when ______ this knife, or you’ll hurt yourself.
A.to use B.use C.using D.used
【答案】C
【详解】句意:使用这把刀时一定要小心,否则会伤到自己。考查动词形式辨析题。“疑问词+不定式”主要用作宾语、主语、表语等,不可做状语,而本句缺时间状语,可排除A项;动词不能作状语,可排除B项use。根据句意语境,可知use这个动作是主语you发出的,需用现在分词短语作时间状语,故选C。
4、 其他重要知识点讲解
1. 现在进行时结构表将来
(教材原句)A new sci-fi film is coming out. 一部新的科幻电影即将上映。
is coming out是现在进行时表示将来意义的用法。很多非延续性动词(动作不能持续,一开始,便结束),尤其是表示“位移”的动词,如go,come,leave,arrive,die,begin,start等用现在进行时表示一般将来时含义。
如:I am leaving for Beijing in three days. 我三天后离开去北京。
[随学随练]
单项填空
—What’s your plan for the summer vacation?
—I ________ to Beijing.
A.travel B.traveled C.am traveling D.have traveled
【答案】C
【详解】句意:——你的暑假计划是什么?——我打算去北京旅行。
考查时态用法。问句询问暑假计划,答语应使用表示将来计划的时态。A项一般现在时,表示习惯或事实;B项一般过去时,表示过去的动作;C项现在进行时形式,可表示按计划安排的将来的动作;D项现在完成时,表示过去的动作对现在的影响。故选C。
2. book作动词
(教材原句)Teng Fei booked the tickets online. 滕飞在网上订了电影票。
此句中book用作动词,表示“预定,预约”。后可接双宾语:book sb. sth.=book sth. for sb. “为某人预定某物”。
[随学随练]
单项填空
—Hello, Beijing Hotel. Can I help you?
—Yes, I'd like to _____ a single room for two nights.
A.enter B.move C.book D.provide
【答案】C
【详解】句意:-你好,这里是北京宾馆,我能为你做点什么?-好的,我想要预订一个单人房,住两晚。enter进入;move移动;book预订;provide提供。根据对话的意思可知,这里是给北京宾馆打电话预订房间,故应选C。
3. 不定式作定语
(教材原句)Teng Fei thinks there will be less land to grow food,滕飞认为将来用于种菜的土地会减少。
to grow food为不定式作定语,修饰前面的名词land。不定式短语作定语时可表示目的、可能性或必要性等。
如:He bought a magazine to read on the subway. 他买了一本杂志在地铁上读。
This is a good way to solve the problem.这是解决这个问题的一个好方法。
[随学随练]
单项填空
(1) I have no time ________ your excuse.
A.hear B.to hear C.to listen to D.listening
【答案】C
【详解】句意:我没有时间听你的借口。
考查动词不定式作定语的用法,以及“hear”和“listen to”的辨析。hear听到,动词原形;to hear去听到,不定式;to listen to去倾听,不定式;listening听,动名词。“have no time”后需接不定式to do,表示“没有时间做某事”;且“listen to”强调有意识地倾听,更符合语境。故选C。
(2) I think it’s a special way ________ a conversation.
A.start B.to start C.starting D.to starting
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我认为这是开启一段对话的特别方式。
考查非谓语动词。start开始,动词原形;to start动词不定式;starting动名词/现在分词;to starting介宾结构。“a way to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“做某事的方法”,此处用动词不定式“to start”作后置定语修饰“way”,表示开启对话的方式,故选B。

Now many people go to work and school on buses, trains and bikes. However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky.
In Singapore, a company (公司) has showed a flying taxi. When some people travel in flying taxis, there will be fewer cars on the roads. It can be less crowded. In the 3D space of the sky, cars can move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis can also take off and arrive on rooftops. That will save parking space on the ground. And flying is fun. It’s cool and interesting to fly in the sky every day on the way to work.
However, some people don’t like flying cars. A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company. It seems that he can make flying cars, but he says, “If the sky is full of flying cars, it will be noisier. Something may fall on people’s heads more easily. It’s dangerous.” He thinks it’s much better to build lots of underground tunnels (地下隧道).
Are flying cars or taxis a good idea? Shall we find other ways to solve the traffic problems?

Now scientists are learning how to use science and technology to make schools better. In the future, there will be a new kind of school which is connected (连接) with libraries, museums and companies. This new kind of school is different from our present schools. Scientists will give talks through the Internet.

Everyone can read books and study at home, at school or in the office. So children don’t have to go to school. How different schools will be! Life is changing and schools will be changed as well.

Now many people go to work and school on buses, trains and bikes. However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky.
In Singapore, a company (公司) has showed a flying taxi. When some people travel in flying taxis, there will be fewer cars on the roads. It can be less crowded. In the 3D space of the sky, cars can move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis can also take off and arrive on rooftops. That will save parking space on the ground. And flying is fun. It’s cool and interesting to fly in the sky every day on the way to work.
However, some people don’t like flying cars. A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company. It seems that he can make flying cars, but he says, “If the sky is full of flying cars, it will be noisier. Something may fall on people’s heads more easily. It’s dangerous.” He thinks it’s much better to build lots of underground tunnels (地下隧道).

This new kind of school is different from our present schools. Scientists will give talks through the Internet. What’s more, this new kind of school will develop subjects that students can study on the Internet. Students can listen to talks, have lessons, read books, watch learning videos and do their homework on computers. It’s very convenient. Also, parents can check their children’s study through the Internet. In this way, they can know about their children’s study easily and quickly.
