Unit 1　Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas [对应学生用书P1] Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas [对应学生用书P1] Facing the Future 1 For many of us，it's something we already have experienced.One moment，we are lying comfortably in bed，about to fall into a deep sleep.The next，our eyes are open and we find ourselves wondering or even worrying about possibly the most important issue of our lives【1】—the future.Will we get into the school of our choice①？ What will we be doing in ten years' time? Can we become the person we really want to be？【2】 In the face of② such questions，how should we approach the future③？ Can we take action④ to shape⑤ it，or should we just accept whatever comes our way⑥？ 【1】画线部分是“find＋宾语＋宾补”结构，此处用现在分词短语作宾补，表示主动和动作正在进行。 【2】本句是主从复合句。we really want to be是省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词the person。 2 As many of us already know，having plans in place⑦ for the future is no guarantee⑧ that they will become reality.【3】 In this respect⑨，some people are more fortunate than others，as can be illustrated⑩ by comparing the lives of two famous authors，born 40 years apart⑪【4】．Although they shared⑫ the same ambitious⑬ and energetic approach to life⑭，their careers unfolded in contrasting⑮ ways. 【3】本句是主从复合句。As引导非限制性定语从句，指代后面整个主句并在从句中作宾语。主句是主系表结构，v­ing短语having plans...future作主语，that引导的同位语从句对guarantee作解释说明。 【4】画线部分是as引导的非限制性定语从句，as指代前面整个主句的内容并在从句中作主语。过去分词短语born 40 years apart作two famous authors的后置定语，相当于定语从句who were born 40 years apart。 3 The American author，Ernest Hemingway，born in 1899，was from early boyhood⑯ single­minded⑰ in his ambition to write.On leaving high school【5】，he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee⑱ reporter.He went on to become foreign correspondent⑲ for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary⑳ experiences in Europe and later Cuba to inform㉑ his writing.In his words，“I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.” Having set himself this goal，he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences of the First World War，the Spanish Civil War，bullfighting㉒ and deep­sea fishing，amongst㉓ others.【6】 His short novel The Old Man and the Sea，about the three­day epic㉔ struggle between an elderly㉕ fisherman and the biggest fish he had ever caught【7】，won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.He would later go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. 【5】on/upon doing...表示“一……就……”，相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。 【6】现在分词短语Having set himself this goal作时间状语，相当于After he had set himself this goal。 【7】画线部分是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词fish。先行词前有形容词最高级修饰，关系代词只能用that，不用which。 4 By contrast㉖，the young Arthur Conan Doyle，born in Scotland in 1859，had originally worked as a doctor.But Doyle's main ambition was to become a writer of historical㉗ novels【8】．Although some of his historical novels were published，their success was nothing compared to㉘ the stories of his fictional㉙ detective㉚，Sherlock Holmes，which he is still best known for to this day.【9】 【8】画线部分是不定式短语作表语。 【9】本句是主从复合句。Although在此引导让步状语从句；主句中过去分词短语compared to...this day作状语；which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰the stories。 5 Interestingly，Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his medical practice㉛ in London【10】．After Sherlock Holmes made him a household name，Doyle gave up medicine and devoted himself entirely to㉜ writing.He still longed to㉝ become known for his historical novels amongst other academic works.The public，however couldn't get enough of㉞ Sherlock Holmes.In desperation㉟，Doyle killed off㊱ the famous detective in a novel published in 1893 so that he could focus on㊲ his “serious” writing.【11】 However，fans of Holmes were so angry that Doyle，under immense pressure㊳，was forced to㊴ bring Holmes back from the dead㊵.【12】 Doyle's many historical novels，plays，poems and academic papers have remained largely forgotten，but Sherlock Holmes has been entertaining readers for well over a century. 【10】此处是while引导的时间状语从句，while表示“在……期间，当……的时候”。 【11】本句是主从复合句。so that引导目的状语从句。主句中过去分词短语published in 1893作后置定语，修饰a novel。 【12】画线部分包含“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句。 6 Though both of these men were ultimately㊶ successful，their paths to success㊷ were very different，their futures not necessarily turning out㊸ exactly as they planned.【13】 So，whatever twists and turns㊹ you might encounter㊺，take a leaf out of the books of㊻ these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected㊼.【14】 As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said，“You can't connect the dots㊽ looking forward【15】； you can only connect them looking backwards㊾.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” 【13】本句是主从复合句。Though引导让步状语从句。their futures...planned是独立主格结构，其中as引导方式状语从句。 【14】本句是主从复合句。whatever引导让步状语从句，whatever相当于no matter what。 【15】现在分词短语looking forward作状语。 ①of sb's choice某人自己选择(或选定)的。常作后置定语。 ②in the face of面对 ③approach the future走近未来 ④take action采取行动 ⑤shape vt.熟词生义

我们许多人都有过这样的经历。前一刻，我们正惬意地躺在床上，即将进入深度睡眠。但下一刻，我们就睁开了双眼，发现自己在思考，甚至在担忧可能是人生中最重要的事情——未来。我们能进入心仪的学校吗？ 十年之后我们会在做什么？我们能够成为真正想成为的人吗？面对这些疑问，我们应该如何走近未来呢？我们能采取行动去影响未来吗，还是该全然接受现实给予我们的一切？ 2 正如我们许多人都已经知道的那样，为未来做好计划并不能保证它们都会成为现实。在这方面，一些人比别人更幸运，例如，有两位年龄相差40岁的著名作家，对比他们的人生就能证明这一点。虽然他们面对生活时都有远大的志向，而且精力充沛，但他们的职业生涯的发展却截然不同。 3美国作家欧内斯特·海明威生于1899年，他从小立志，一心一意想要写作。高中一毕业，他就进入堪萨斯州当地的一家报社做见习记者。此后，他又成为《多伦多星报》的一名驻外记者，根据在欧洲和后来在古巴的独特经历进行创作。他曾说：“我决定把我知道的每一件事都写成一个故事。”在立下这一目标后，他根据自己在第一次世界大战、西班牙内战、斗牛表演和深海捕鱼等的亲身经历，创作了许多小说和短篇故事。他的短篇小说《老人与海》讲述了一位老渔民与一条他捕过的最大的鱼进行了三天艰苦卓绝的搏斗的故事。这部小说于1953年获得普利策小说奖。海明威后来还荣获了诺贝尔文学奖。 4 相比而言，1859年出生于苏格兰的亚瑟·柯南·道尔，原先年轻时是一名医生，但他最大的志向却是成为一名历史小说作家。虽然他的一些历史小说被出版了，但其成就与他虚构出来的侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事相比微不足道。直到现在，他最广为人知的作品仍是夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事。 5 有趣的是，一些早期的福尔摩斯故事是道尔在伦敦行医期间，在等候病人的时候创作的。在夏洛克·福尔摩斯让他变得家喻户晓后，道尔放弃了医学，全身心地投入创作。除了其他学术作品，他还是渴望自己能因历史小说而出名。然而，公众却对夏洛克·福尔摩斯(的故事)百读不厌。绝望之下，道尔在一部出版于1893年的小说中杀死了这位著名的侦探，以便能专注于他的“严肃”作品。然而，福尔摩斯迷们非常愤怒，这使得道尔在巨大压力之下，不得不让福尔摩斯起死回生。道尔的很多历史小说、戏剧、诗歌和学术论文多半都被人遗忘了，但夏洛克·福尔摩斯却在一个多世纪以来一直吸引着读者。 6 虽然这两个人最终都获得了成功，但他们的成功之路却截然不同，他们的未来也不一定完全如他们所计划的那样。因此，不管未来你可能会遇到怎样的坎坷和曲折，都应以这两位作者为榜样，做好应对意外的准备。正如著名的科技创新者史蒂夫·乔布斯所说：“你无法预见性地将(生命中的)点滴串联起来，只有在回头看时，你才能将这些点滴联系起来。所以你要坚信，你现在所经历的点滴，将在你的未来中以某种方式串联起来。”
