[对应学生用书P1] Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas [对应学生用书P1] The Age of Majority In most countries，[1]turning① 18 marks② the start of adulthood③．But what does reaching this milestone④，the age of majority，really mean？Will you be completely in charge of⑤ your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways？What new responsibilities will this freedom bring？Here，three young people tell us [2]what turning 18 means，or meant，to them． [1]此处是单个v.-ing短语turning 18作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。 [2]此处为what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。 Bethany 16，Victoria，Australia I can't wait to be 18.One reason is that although I've been working[3]ever since leaving school，I won't be voting in the next general election⑥.Why？Because I still won't be old enough.Surely，if you're old enough to earn a wage⑦ and pay taxes⑧，you should be allowed to have a say⑨ on how the government spends them! I've also been taking driving lessons，and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very⑩ day I turn 18.My mum worries about me being behind the wheel⑪.As an ambulance driver，she's seen a lot of car accidents involving⑫ teenagers and thinks the legal age⑬ for getting a driving licence should be 21.But I think I'm already mature enough to understand [4]that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people． [3]“ever since leaving school”(＝ever since I left school)在句中作时间状语。 [4]此处是that引导的宾语从句。在该宾语从句中，v.-ing短语driving a car作主语。 Lin Ning 19，Shanghai，China I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university.I expected to feel instantly⑭ different，[5]as if I had closed the door on⑮ my childhood⑯ and stepped into a whole new adult world．But it wasn't like that.When I woke up the next day，there were still [6]rules to obey and lessons to attend ⑰．In fact，the change has been more subtle⑱ and gradual⑲ [7]than I imagined．Instead of being the selfish⑳ teenager [8]I used to be，I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. To give an example㉑，I will be signing an organ donation agreement㉒ this time tomorrow.This was a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents (although I knew they would approve㉓).Turning 18 also changed the way [9]that society viewed me．I was really surprised when a bank contacted㉔ me with a credit card offer.Of course，I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt㉕ I will be getting a credit card at some point㉖，but I currently㉗ don't have a steady income㉘，so getting a credit card might tempt㉙me to spend more money than I have! [5]此处为as if引导的方式状语从句，从句使用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的情况。 [6]此处为不定式to obey和to attend作后置定语，分别修饰名词rules和lessons。 [7]此处为than引导的比较状语从句。 [8]此处是省略了关系代词that的限制性定语从句，关系代词在定语从句中作表语。 [9]此处为that引导的限制性定语从句，先行词为the way。that可以换成in which，也可以省略。 Morgan 20，Florida，the US People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives，and [10]that we should become more independent．I used to believe this，but the reality for me has been very different.[11]I assumed㉚ I'd already have a well-paid job and that I'd be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned 18，but how wrong I was！My librarian'㉛s salary means that I'll be living at home with my parents for a while longer.Because I contribute to the household bills㉜and my commute㉝ to work is quite expensive，I [12]find it hard to save any money．I'll be starting a new job next month，however，so maybe things will get easier.I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit㉞ on my very own apartment，but I don't feel ready to㉟ make that kind of commitment㊱，and I do like my mom's cooking.I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age. [10]此处为that引导的宾语从句，作say的宾语，此处的that通常不能省略。一个动词后接两个或两个以上that引导的宾语从句时，第一个引导词that可以省略，第二个及第二个之后的引导词that通常不可省略。 [11]本句中but连接两个并列分句。第一个分句是主从复合句，I assumed是主句，assumed后接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that已省略；第二个宾语从句中，as soon as引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就……”。 [12]此处it作形式宾语，hard作宾语补足语，不定式短语to save any money是真正的宾语。 ①turn linking verb [熟词生义]到达，超过(某一年龄或时间) ②mark vt.标志，成为……的征兆 ③adulthood n.成年 a child reaching adulthood一个即将成年的孩子 ④milestone n.重大事件，里程碑；重要阶段 [同义词]landmark n.(标志重要阶段的)里程碑 ⑤in charge of 负责，掌管 in the charge of...由……负责 ⑥election n.选举 elect vt.选举，推选 general election大选，普选 ⑦wage n.(按小时、日或周计算的)工资，薪金 earn a wage 挣工资 ⑧pay taxes 纳税 tax n.税，比征税，使负重荷 ⑨have a say有发言权 say n.[熟词生义]决定权，发言权 ⑩very adj.[熟词生义](特指人或事物)正是的，恰好的，同一的 ⑪behind the wheel在驾驶汽车 ⑫involve vt.牵涉，牵连 ⑬the legal age法定年龄 legal adj.合法的 illegal adj.不合法的，非法的，违法的 ⑭instantly adv.立即，马上 instant adj.立即的，立刻的；方便的，速溶的 ⑮close the door on...使……不可能，拒……于门外，把……的门堵死 ⑯childhood n.童年，儿童时代 childhood memories/experiences童年的回忆/经历 ⑰attend vt.定期去，经常去vt.& vi.参加，出席 ⑱subtle adj.难以察觉的；微妙的 ⑲gradual adj.逐渐的，逐步的 ⑳selfish adj.自私的[反义词] selfless adj.无私的 ㉑to give an example举个例子，例如 ㉒sign an organ donation agreement签署一份器官捐献协议 sign vt.& vi.签(名)，署(名)；签字 ㉓approve v.赞成，同意 [反义词]disapprove v.不赞成，不同意 approval n.赞成，同意 ㉔contact vt.联系，联络(如用电话或信件)n.(尤指经常的)联系，联络 ㉕no doubt 毫无疑问，很可能 ㉖at some point 在某一时刻 ㉗currently adv.目前，当前 ㉘a steady income 一份稳定的收入 steady adj.稳定的 ㉙tempt v.诱惑，引诱 tempt sb to do sth引诱某人做某事 ㉚assume vt.认为；假定，假设 ㉛librarian n.图书馆管理员 ㉜household bills 家庭账单 household adj.家庭的 ㉝commute n.每天上班的路程 ㉞deposit n.[usually sing.]订金 pay a deposit (on...)付(……的)订金 ㉟feel ready to do...准备好做…… ㊱commitment n.投入，花费；承诺，许诺；献身 make a commitment做出承诺 法定成年年龄 在大多数国家，年满18岁就标志着成年了。然而步入成年这个重要阶段到底意味着什么？你会完全掌控自己的生活并能以激动人心的新方式来表情达意吗？这种自由会带来什么新责任？下面三位年轻人向我们讲述了18岁对他们而言意味着什么。 贝萨妮 16岁，澳大利亚维多利亚州 我真想快点儿到18岁。一个原因是尽管我离开学校以后就一直在工作，但我还是不能在下一次大选中投票。为什么？因为我还不到年龄。当然，如果到了赚取工资和纳税的年龄，你就应该被允许在政府如何使用它们这一方面有发言权。我也在上驾驶课程，实际上，我要在18岁当天参加驾照考试。妈妈对我驾驶汽车很不放心。作为一名救护车司机，她见过很多涉及青少年的车祸，并且认为获得驾照的法定年龄应该是21岁。但我认为自己已经足够成熟了，能够明白驾驶汽车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。 林宁 19岁，中国上海市 刚好在上大学之前，我庆祝了我的18岁生日。我原想着我会立刻有不同的感觉，就好像我关上了童年的大门，迈入一个全新的成人世界。但事实并非如此。第二天醒来时，我仍然要遵守规则和去上课。事实上，变化比我想象的更不明显，也更循序渐进。相比自己之前那个自私的青少年，我已经开始更加关注他人，并且去培养更为强烈的社会责任感。 例如，明天的这个时候，我将签署器官捐献协议。这对我来说是一个重大的决定，我没有征求父母的意见就做出了这个决定(尽管我知道他们会同意的)。迈入18岁，社会看待我的方式也发生了变化。当一家银行联系我，为我提供信用卡服务时，我非常惊讶。当然，我想在金钱方面拥有更多的自由，毫无疑问，我会在将来的某个时候办一张信用卡，但我目前没有稳定的收入，所以办一张信用卡可能会引诱我花更多的钱！ 摩根 20岁，美国佛罗里达州 人们常说，18岁标志着生活开启了新篇章，并且我们应该变得更加独立。我曾经也这样认为，但对我来说，现实远非如此。我曾以为自己(18岁时)会拥有一份高薪工作，并且一满18岁就要搬去租住的公寓里，但是我错了！图书馆管理员的工资意味着我还需和父母同住更长的一段时间。因为我要分担家庭开支，并且上班的通勤费也相当高，我发现很难存下来钱。不过，下个月我要开始一份新工作了，也许情况会有所好转。 我知道我可以得到一笔银行贷款来支付自己公寓的订金，但我认为自己还没有准备好做出那种投入，而且我特别喜欢妈妈做的饭。我想有些责任更多地关乎态度，而非年龄。 [对应学生用书P4] Ⅰ.重点词汇 核心单词 1．integrity n.正直诚实 2．virtue n.美德 3．licence n.执照 4．loan n.(银行等的)贷款 5．wage n.(按小时、日或周计算的)工资，薪金 6．tax n.税 7．mature adj.成熟的，明白事理的 8．librarian n.图书管理员 9．household adj.家庭的 拓展单词 10．election n.选举→elect v.选举，推选 11．legal adj.合法的→legally adv.法律上；合法地→[反义词]illegal adj.不合法的；违法的 12．instantly adv.立即，马上→instant adj.立即的，立刻的；速溶的，方便的 n.瞬间，片刻 13．gradual adj.逐渐的，逐步的→gradually adv.逐渐地，逐步地 14．approve v.赞成，同意→approval n.赞成，同意 15．steady adj.稳定的→steadily adv.不断地，持续地 16．commitment n.投入，花费；承诺→commit v.向……保证 17．suitable adj.合适的→suit v.合适；适合 18．minimum adj.最小的，最少的n.最小限度，最小量→[反义词]maximum adj.最大的，最多的 n.最大限度，最大量；最大数 Ⅱ.重点短语 1．in charge of 掌管 2．have a say 有发言权 3．behind the wheel 在驾驶汽车 4．take responsibility for对……负责 5．no doubt无疑地；必定 6．tempt sb to do 诱使某人去做某事 Ⅲ.重点句式 1．adj./adv.＋enough to do sth (1)Surely，if you're old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes(到了赚取工资和纳税的年龄)，you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them!
