Where did she go and what did she do ?
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
今天是我在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷葡萄酒之乡后回到旧金山的第一天。我不得不承认,再次回到这个城市感觉真好。多好的一座城市——一座在1906年地震后能够重建的城市。这里有许多美丽的古老建筑——许多坐落在大山顶上,可以看到城市、海洋和金门大桥的美景。

What impressed the writer first about San Francisco?
many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills
My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!
我住的酒店靠近市中心,在米申区,这个城市最古老的地区之一。许多住在这里的人来自墨西哥或中美洲。这个地区过去是城镇的贫困地区,但现在是艺术、音乐和食品的中心。事实上,一场名为“教会学校”的艺术运动就是从这里开始的。它受到涂鸦艺术和漫画艺术的影响。我走来走去,看了几个小时的街头艺术。这是非常现代和生动的。之后,我吃了一些从快餐车里买来的美味的墨西哥-中国面条。这里是真正的文化融合!

I ate some delicoius Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck.
In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period.
下午,我去了当地一家展示加州历史变迁的博物馆。我了解到美国在1848年从墨西哥手中得到了加利福尼亚。同年,旧金山附近发现了黄金,掀起了淘金热。超过300,000人从世界各地来寻找他们的财富,旧金山很快成为一个大城市。许多中国人是在这个时期到达的。
To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.
为了谋生,一些人在唐人街开了商店和餐馆。其他许多人在农场找到了工作,加入了淘金热,或者去修建连接加利福尼亚和美国东部地区的铁路。这个博物馆很好地展示了来自不同国家和文化的移民是如何建设美国的。当这些移民离开他们的国家时,他们心中有一个家,并在这里建立了一个新的家。

Classify and organise information
We can better understand a passage by classifying or organising the information in it. Classifying means deciding the kind of information, e.g., dates, numbers, opinions. Organising means putting things in order, e.g., according to how old, how much, what kind. Sometimes it is a good idea to draw a diagram to organise the information in the passage.

例句:Today was my first day back in the dorm after traveling in Tibet and hanging out with my parents.
1. Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley.
【句式分析】
介词后接动名词 (Gerund):
这里的 after 是介词。在英语中,介词后面如果跟动词,必须使用动词的 -ing 形式(动名词)。这里动名词短语camping…和visiting…作介词after的宾语,介宾短语作时间状语
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
34
例句:It was my first time visiting Paris.
1. Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley.
核心结构:序数词与最高级
... my first day back in San Francisco ...
语法点:the/one's + first/second/last + time + (that) clause 或者像这里一样接介词短语。
解析:这里 first day 后面紧跟了 back in San Francisco 作为后置定语,修饰这一天是怎样的“第一天”。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
35
例句:
It is important to learn English. (学英语很重要。)
It is hard to say goodbye. (说再见很难。)
2. . I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again.
核心句型:It 作形式主语
语法点:It + 系动词 + 形容词 + 不定式 (to do...)
解析:
这里的 It 是形式主语,它本身没有实际意义,只是用来占个位置。
真正的主语其实是后面的不定式短语 to be back in the city again。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
36
2. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again.
宾语从句结构
I have to admit that ...
语法点:that 引导的宾语从句
解析:
admit(承认)是主句的谓语动词。
that 后面的一长串内容(it definitely feels...)都是 admit 的宾语,即你承认的具体内容。
在口语中,这个 that 经常被省略,但在书面语或强调语气时(如本句),保留 that 会让句子结构更清晰。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
37
3. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
感叹句与省略
And what a city ...
语法点:感叹句的省略形式
解析:
这是一个由 What 引导的感叹句。完整的句子结构应该是:And what a city (it is)!
在英语口语和非正式文体中,为了表达强烈的情感且更简洁有力,常会省略主语和谓语(it is),直接留下 What + 名词短语。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
例句: What a pity (it is)!
38
3. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
双重定语从句(“套娃”结构)
... a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
第一层(修饰 city):
... that was able to rebuild itself ...
这里的 that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词 city。
注意:这里的 that 在从句中作主语,所以不能省略。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
39
3. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
双重定语从句(“套娃”结构)
... a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
第二层(修饰 earthquake):
... that occurred in 1906.
这里的 that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词 earthquake。
同样,这个 that 在从句中作主语,也不能省略。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
40
3. And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
破折号的作用
— a city that ...
语法点:同位语/解释说明
解析:破折号后面的部分是对前面 what a city 的进一步补充和解释。作者不仅仅是在感叹“多么好的城市”,紧接着就给出了理由——因为它有从废墟中重建的韧性。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
41
4. There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.(P28)
【句式分析】
核心骨架:There be 句型
语法点:存在句
解析:这是最基础的 There be 句型,表示“某地有某物”。
主语是 so many beautiful old buildings。
谓语动词 are 与主语保持一致(复数)。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
42
4. There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.(P28)
【句式分析】
独立主格结构
— many sitting on top of big hills ...
这是这句话最高级的语法点,也是考试中的常客。
语法点:独立主格结构
结构公式:名词/代词 + 现在分词 (V-ing)
解析:
这里的 many 是代词,指代前面的 many buildings,它是后面动作 sitting 的逻辑主语。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
43
4. There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.(P28)
【句式分析】
现在分词作状语
... offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
语法点:现在分词短语作结果状语或伴随状语
解析:
这里的 offering 是现在分词。
逻辑主语:它的逻辑主语是前面的 many (buildings)。因为建筑物“坐落”在山上,自然就会“提供”视野,这是一种顺理成章的结果或伴随的状态。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
44
5. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. (P28)
一连好几个小时,我四处走着,欣赏街头艺术。
【句式分析】
核心语法:现在分词作伴随状语
... looking at the street art ... 。
解析:
这里的 looking at... 并不是谓语,而是用来修饰主语 I 的。
它表示这个动作(看街头艺术)是与谓语动词(walked around)同时发生的。
逻辑关系:主语 I 和动作 look 之间是主动关系(是我在看),所以用现在分词 looking,而不是过去分词。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
45
5. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. (P28)
一连好几个小时,我四处走着,欣赏街头艺术。
【句式分析】
动词短语辨析
... walked around ...
语法点:动词 + 副词
解析:
Walk around 意为“四处走动”、“漫步”或“闲逛”。
它强调的是没有固定路线的、随意的走动,非常符合旅游观光(sightseeing)的语境。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
46
5. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. (P28)
一连好几个小时,我四处走着,欣赏街头艺术。
【句式分析】
时间状语
... for a few hours.
语法点:介词短语表持续时间
解析:
for + 一段时间 是英语中表示动作持续多久的标准用法。
它修饰整个句子,告诉你作者沉浸在这种“边走边看”的状态里持续了几个小时。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
47
5. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. (P28)
一连好几个小时,我四处走着,欣赏街头艺术。
💡 举一反三(模仿造句)
I sat on the sofa listening to music for an hour.
(我坐在沙发上,听了一个小时的音乐。)
They walked home talking and laughing.
(他们走回家,一路上有说有笑。)
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)

6. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was
built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. (P28)
核心搭配:do a good job of...
The museum did a really good job of showing...
这家博物馆完美地展示了美国是如何由不同国家和文化的移民建设起来的。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
49
宾语从句:how 引导
... showing how America was built...
语法点:how 引导的宾语从句
解析:
这里的 how 引导了一个从句,作为动名词 showing 的宾语。
它解释了博物馆具体“展示”的内容是什么——即“美国是如何被建造的”。
在从句中,how 充当方式状语,修饰动词 was built。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
50
被动语态
... America was built by immigrants...
语法点:一般过去时的被动语态
解析:
结构是 was/were + 过去分词。
这里使用被动语态 was built 是为了强调动作的承受者 America,而不是动作的发出者。句子的焦点是“美国”这个国家是如何形成的。动作的发出者由 by 引出,即 by immigrants(由移民们)。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
51
💡 举一反三(模仿造句)
The documentary did a good job of showing how the ancient city was discovered.
Our guide did a really good job of explaining the history of the temple.
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
52
4. There were so many good cafés and restaurants to choose from. (P29)
这里有很多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可供选择。
【句式分析】
核心结构:There be 句型 + 不定式作定语
There were so many good cafés and restaurants to choose from.
解析:
句子的主干是 There were so many good cafés and restaurants(有那么多好的咖啡馆和餐馆)。
to choose from 是一个不定式短语,放在名词后面作定语,用来修饰前面的 cafés and restaurants。
它的意思是“供你从中选择的……”。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
53
【句式分析】
难点解析:为什么要加 from?(易错点!)
这是这句话最值得注意的语法细节。很多同学会习惯性地写成 to choose,漏掉 from,但这在语法上是不严谨的。
语法点:不定式与修饰词的逻辑关系
解析:
动词 choose(选择)通常是及物动词,比如 I choose the red one。
但是,在这里的逻辑是“从这些咖啡馆和餐馆中进行选择”(choose from the cafés and restaurants)。
当不定式修饰的名词(cafés and restaurants)是不定式动作的来源或范围,而不是直接宾语时,必须加上介词 from。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
54
【句式分析】
对比理解:
I don't know which one to choose. (我知道选哪个——one 是 choose 的直接宾语,不需要介词)
There are many books to choose from. (有很多书可供挑选——你是从这些书里挑,不是挑“这些书”这个动作本身,需要 from)
句型搭配:so many + 复数名词
... so many good cafés and restaurants ...
语法点:数量词搭配
解析:
so many 用来修饰可数名词复数(cafés and restaurants),表示“如此多”。
如果是不可数名词,则要换成 so much(例如 so much food to choose from)。
Important sentences (P28 ~ P29)
