Pre-reading 新课讲授 23021 Long ago, there was a kind and honest woodcutter. One day, when he was cutting wood beside a lake, he lost his axe in the water. The water was deep, and he could not get his axe back. He had only one axe, and he needed it to make a living. He sat down and began to cry. As he cried, a fairy appeared. She asked the man what was wrong. She listened to the woodcutter and felt sorry for him. But what could she do to help? Suddenly, she came up with a great idea. The fairy jumped into the lake and brought back a golden axe. While-reading 23021 “Is this the axe you lost?” asked the good fairy. The man looked at the golden axe and shook his head. He told the fairy it wasn’t his. The fairy jumped into the water again and brought back a silver axe. Once again, the man said that it wasn’t his. The fairy went down a third time and returned with the woodcutter’s old axe. “That’s the right one!” said the woodcutter. The fairy was so happy with the woodcutter’s honesty that she gave him the other two axes as a present. Honesty truly is the best policy. 23021 2 Read the fable and write true (T) or false (F).

Long ago, there was a kind and honest woodcutter. Language points honest 作形容词，意为“诚实的； 老实的”，强调人言行真实、不虚假，或事物客观无欺。 注意：honest 以元音音素开头(h 不发音) ，其前用不定冠词an。 常见搭配：(1) to be honest 说实话(作插入语，用于句首) (2) be honest with sb. 对某人坦诚 相关词汇：honesty n. 诚实；老实 honestly adv. 诚实地；确实 dishonest adj. 不诚实的(dis- 为否定前缀) 23021 e.g. His father is an honest businessman. 他的父亲是个诚实的商人。 To be honest, I don’t think I can finish the task on time. 说实话，我觉得我无法按时完成任务。 You should be honest with your teacher about why you didn’t do homework. 你应该对老师坦诚没做作业的原因。 Peter is an honest boy. He believes that honesty is the best policy. Honestly, he never tells a lie. 彼得是个诚实的男孩。他相信诚为上策。说实话，他从不说谎。 People don’t like dishonest children. 人们不喜欢不诚实的孩子。 23021 2. He had only one axe, and he needed it to make a living. make a living 表示“谋生；维持生计”，后接by + 动名词(表方式) 、as + 职业(表身份) 或in + 地点(表环境) 。 与make 相关的短语： make a decision 做决定 make a mistake 犯错误 e.g. His father makes a living by selling vegetables in the market. 他父亲靠在市场卖菜谋生。 She makes a living as a teacher in a small town. 她在一个小镇当老师谋生。 They had to make a living in a foreign country after losing their jobs. 失业后，他们不得不在外国谋生。 23021 3. She asked the man what was wrong. 长难句分析：这是一个主从复合句。主句主语是She，谓语是asked，the man 是间接宾语，what was wrong 是一个宾语从句，作直接宾语。 23021 4. Suddenly, she came up with a great idea. e.g. Suddenly/All of a sudden, I realized that I left my schoolbag at home. 我突然意识到我把书包落在家里了。 The screen went off suddenly in the middle of the movie. 电影放到一半的时候，屏幕突然灭了。 It all happened so suddenly. 一切都来得那么突然。 The bus came to a sudden stop. 公共汽车突然停了下来。 suddenly 意为“突然；忽然”，由 “sudden(adj. 突然的；忽然的) + -ly(副词后缀) ”构成，指事情发生得迅速且出人意料，可放在句首、句中或句尾。 同义短语：all of a sudden 23021 come up with 和think of 的区别 come up with侧重强调“通过思考产生并提出”，主语多为人； think of仅表示“想到”，不强调“提出”，更侧重思维过程。 e.g. I came up with a plan for the project.‌ 我为这个项目想出了一个计划。 Can you think of a way to solve this problem? 你能想出解决这个问题的办法吗？ 23021 5. The man looked at the golden axe and shook his head. shook 是shake 的过去式，shake one’s head “摇某人的头” e.g. The child shook her head to say no. 孩子摇摇头表示不。 23021 6. The fairy jumped into the water again and brought back a silver axe. silver /‘sɪlvə(r) / 熟义 n. 银；银币；银白色 生义 adj. 银色的，银白色的 e.g. Silver is a precious metal. 银是一种贵金属。 The moon’s light made the lake look silver. 月光使湖面呈现银白色。 She wore a silver necklace. 她戴着一条银项链。 23021 7. Once again, the man said that it wasn’t his. once again 表示“又一次；再一次”，强调动作或事件的重复，相当于“once more”或“again”。 相关短语：(1) again and again 反复地；再三地，强调动作重复多次，可用于提醒、抱怨或强调坚持。 (2) over again 重新；再一次，侧重“从头开始重复”，常与“do/make/start”等动词搭配。 e.g. He failed the exam, but he decided to try once again. 他考试没及格，但他决定再试一次。 I had to explain the problem once again because she didn’t understand. 因为她没懂，我不得不又一次解释这个问题。 The teacher told us to check the answers again and again. 老师让我们反复检查答案。 23021 8. The fairy was so happy with the woodcutter’s honesty that she gave him the other two axes as a present. 分析结构：这句话是主从复合句。主句主语是The fairy，系动词是was，表语是happy，说明主语状态；with the woodcutter’s honesty 是介词短语作状语，表“因樵夫的诚实而……”。从句是that 引导的结果状语从句。 23021 so + 形容词/ 副词+ that 结果状语从句，表示“如此……以至于……”，强调主句的程度导致从句的结果。 such + (a/an) + 形容词+ 名词+ that 从句，表示“如此……以至于……”。such 修饰“形容词+ 名词”的整体，强调名词的特征，后接结果状语从句。 so... that... 与such... that... 描述同一事物时，二者可通过调整结构互换。 too... to...(太……以至于不能……) 可转换为 so...that...，要注意否定词的使用。 e.g. The book was so interesting that I read it twice. 这本书如此有趣，我把它读了两遍。 The movie was so boring that I left early. = It was such a boring movie that I left early. 这部电影太无聊了，我早早地就离开了。 The tea is too hot to drink. = The tea is so hot that I can’t drink it. 这茶太烫了，喝不了。 23021 5 Match the titles with the keywords.
