(教材原句)It is usually OK to be late when visiting friends.拜访朋友时,迟到一会儿通常是没关系的。
句中when visiting friends是一个省略的时间状语从句,原句为:when you are visiting friends。在时间、条件等状语从句中,当从句主语与主句主语一致时,且从句谓语动词包含 be 动词(am/is/are/was/were)时,可省略从句的主语和 be 动词,保留现在分词(doing)、过去分词(done)或形容词 / 介词短语。
如:I’ll avoid looking at my phone while I am crossing the road next time.
可省略为I’ll avoid looking at my phone while crossing the road next time.
[随学随练]
单项填空
When ________ the death of his grandpa, Mike couldn’t help crying.
A.to know B.know C.knowing D.knew
2. It is+adj.+ to do 句型
(教材原句)It is rude to give or take things with your left hand.用左手递东西或接东西是不礼貌的。
(教材原句)It’s so interesting to discover cultural differences like this!像这样发现文化差异实在太有趣了!
以上两句都是“It is+adj.+to do...”句型,句中it是形式主语,真正地主语是后面的不定式。
此句型可以做以下拓展:
· 当adj.修饰事物时,形容词后加for sb.变成“It is+adj.+ for sb.+ to do ...”表示“对于某人来说,做...是...样的”。
如:It is important for teenagers to relax and have fun. 对于青少年来说,放松和娱乐是很重要的。
· 当adj.修饰人物时,形容词后加of sb.变成“It is+adj.+ of sb.+ to do ...”表示“某人做...是...样的”。
如:It was impolite of you to enter the room without knocking at the door. 你没敲门就进入房间,是很不礼
貌的。
[随学随练]
翻译句子
(1) 在公共场合,大声打电话是不礼貌的。
(2) 在中国,用手吃东西一般是不太合适的。
3. so...that...引导结果状语从句
(教材原句)But English table manners are so confusing that I'm a little worried.但英国的餐桌礼仪实在太复杂难懂,以至于我有点担心。
此句中so...that...表示“如此...以至于...”,引导结果状语从句,so是副词,后接形容词或副词,that后为从句,表示结果。
such...that...也用于引导结果状语从句,such后接名词或名词短语。
如:The girl felt so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep. 这个小女孩太兴奋了以至于睡不着。
David made such an excellent robot that everyone highly praised him. 大卫制作出如此优秀的机器人,
每个人都盛赞他。
[随学随练]
翻译句子
(1) 甘肃牛肉面如此美味,许多外国人都爱上了它。 (so…that…)
(2) 这是一部如此令人兴奋的电影,李毅想再看一遍。 (such…that…)
4. unless引导条件状语从句
(教材原句)Bring a small gift, but don't bring food unless the host asks you to.可以带一份小礼物,但除非主人主动要求,否则不要带食物。
此句包含unless引导的条件状语从句,unless意为“除非,若不”。含unless从句的复合句常可以和含if从句的复合句互换使用。
如:Unless we improve our service, we won’t have more customers. 除非我们改善服务,否则不会拥有更多
顾客。
上句可改写为:If we don’t improve our service, we won’t have more customers.如果我们不改善服务,就不\
会有更多顾客。
[随学随练]
改写句子
If we don’t improve health care, people won’t live longer. (用unless改写)
翻译句子
除非主人邀请你早点来,否则不要提前到达聚会。
5. what和that引导宾语从句
(教材原句)If you get confused, watch what everyone else does.如果你感到困惑,就看看其他人怎么做。
(教材原句)Do you know what culture shock is?你知道什么是文化冲击吗?
(教材原句)After the meal, thank the host and say that everything was delicious.用餐结束后,向主人道谢,并夸赞饭菜都很美味。
前两句中包含what引导的宾语从句,第三句中含有that引导的宾语从句。
what在引导宾语从句时,what在从句中充当主干成分。而that引导宾语从句时,that在从句中不充当任何成分。这是二者最主要的区别。
如:You will understand what his words mean after you go into the room. 走进房间后,你就会明白他的话是
什么意思。
I finally realize that he is an honest man. 我终于意识到他是一个诚实的人。
[随学随练]
单项填空
The story tells us ________ we should forgive others and be thankful to them.
A.what B.that C.if D.whether
6. once引导状语从句
(教材原句)But once I was used to it, I became more curious and interested in learning about the culture there.但一旦我习惯了之后,就变得更加好奇,也更有兴趣去了解当地的文化。

1. 状语从句的省略
(教材原句)It is usually OK to be late when visiting friends.拜访朋友时,迟到一会儿通常是没关系的。
句中when visiting friends是一个省略的时间状语从句,原句为:when you are visiting friends。在时间、条件等状语从句中,当从句主语与主句主语一致时,且从句谓语动词包含 be 动词(am/is/are/was/were)时,可省略从句的主语和 be 动词,保留现在分词(doing)、过去分词(done)或形容词 / 介词短语。

单项填空
When ________ the death of his grandpa, Mike couldn’t help crying.
A.to know B.know C.knowing D.knew
【答案】C
【详解】句意:当得知他爷爷去世的消息时,迈克忍不住哭了。
考查时间状语从句的省略。“When”引导时间状语从句时,若从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句隐含“主语 + be动词”的结构,可省略主语和be动词,此处“迈克”与“得知”是主动关系,可直接用现在分词作状语。故选C。
2. It is+adj.+ to do 句型
(教材原句)It is rude to give or take things with your left hand.用左手递东西或接东西是不礼貌的。
(教材原句)It’s so interesting to discover cultural differences like this!像这样发现文化差异实在太有趣了!
以上两句都是“It is+adj.+to do...”句型,句中it是形式主语,真正地主语是后面的不定式。
此句型可以做以下拓展:
· 当adj.修饰事物时,形容词后加for sb.变成“It is+adj.+ for sb.+ to do ...”表示“对于某人来说,做...是...样的”。
如:It is important for teenagers to relax and have fun. 对于青少年来说,放松和娱乐是很重要的。
· 当adj.修饰人物时,形容词后加of sb.变成“It is+adj.+ of sb.+ to do ...”表示“某人做...是...样的”。
如:It was impolite of you to enter the room without knocking at the door. 你没敲门就进入房间,是很不礼
貌的。

3. so...that...引导结果状语从句
(教材原句)But English table manners are so confusing that I'm a little worried.但英国的餐桌礼仪实在太复杂难懂,以至于我有点担心。
此句中so...that...表示“如此...以至于...”,引导结果状语从句,so是副词,后接形容词或副词,that后为从句,表示结果。
such...that...也用于引导结果状语从句,such后接名词或名词短语。
如:The girl felt so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep. 这个小女孩太兴奋了以至于睡不着。
David made such an excellent robot that everyone highly praised him. 大卫制作出如此优秀的机器人,
每个人都盛赞他。

(2) 这是一部如此令人兴奋的电影,李毅想再看一遍。 (such…that…)
It is such an exciting movie that Li Yi wants to see it again.
4. unless引导条件状语从句
(教材原句)Bring a small gift, but don't bring food unless the host asks you to.可以带一份小礼物,但除非主人主动要求,否则不要带食物。
此句包含unless引导的条件状语从句,unless意为“除非,若不”。含unless从句的复合句常可以和含if从句的复合句互换使用。
如:Unless we improve our service, we won’t have more customers. 除非我们改善服务,否则不会拥有更多
顾客。
上句可改写为:If we don’t improve our service, we won’t have more customers.如果我们不改善服务,就不\

翻译句子

5. what和that引导宾语从句
(教材原句)If you get confused, watch what everyone else does.如果你感到困惑,就看看其他人怎么做。
(教材原句)Do you know what culture shock is?你知道什么是文化冲击吗?
(教材原句)After the meal, thank the host and say that everything was delicious.用餐结束后,向主人道谢,并夸赞饭菜都很美味。
前两句中包含what引导的宾语从句,第三句中含有that引导的宾语从句。
what在引导宾语从句时,what在从句中充当主干成分。而that引导宾语从句时,that在从句中不充当任何成分。这是二者最主要的区别。
如:You will understand what his words mean after you go into the room. 走进房间后,你就会明白他的话是
什么意思。
I finally realize that he is an honest man. 我终于意识到他是一个诚实的人。

6. once引导状语从句
(教材原句)But once I was used to it, I became more curious and interested in learning about the culture there.但一旦我习惯了之后,就变得更加好奇,也更有兴趣去了解当地的文化。

【详解】句意:——你知道这个消息吗?——是的。事实上,当我们听到这个令人惊讶的消息时,我们很惊讶。
考查形容词辨析。surprised感到惊讶的,常修饰人;surprising令人惊讶的,常修饰物或事件。第一空主语是“we”,表示人的感受,用surprised;第二空修饰“news”,表示消息本身令人惊讶,用surprising。故选B。
(8) My grandmother ________ live in the countryside, but now she ________ living in the city with us.
A.used to; is used to B.is used to; used to
C.used to; used to D.is used to; is used to
【答案】A
【详解】句意:我的祖母过去住在农村,但现在她习惯于和我们住在城市里。
used to do sth.过去常常做某事;be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。根据第一空后动词原形live可知表示过去的状态,填used to;根据第二空后动名词living及now可知表示现在的习惯,主语she对应is used to。

【答案】
1.unless 2.soon 3.curious 4.use 5.shocked 6.carefully 7.strong 8.startled 9.cultural 10.interested
【导语】本文介绍了加拿大交换生Jack在中国的经历与感受,讲述了他初到中国时的好奇、对文化差异的观察与适应过程,以及他对中国文化的兴趣逐渐加深的故事。
1.句意:他喜欢去不同国家旅行,除非他生病了,否则他从不错过任何尝试新事物的机会。这里需要一个引导条件状语从句的连词,表示“除非,如果不”,unless符合语境。
2.句意:他一到中国,就感到很兴奋,并且对这里的一切都感到好奇。固定搭配as soon as表示“一……就……”,用来引导时间状语从句,应填soon。
3.句意:他一到中国,就感到很兴奋,并且对这里的一切都感到好奇。curious about是固定搭配,意为“对……感到好奇”,此处用形容词curious与前面的excited并列,描述Jack初到中国的心情。
4.句意:他发现中国人经常用肢体语言来表达自己的感受。句子缺少谓语动词,主语Chinese people为复数,时态为一般现在时,use作谓语,符合“用肢体语言表达感受”的语义。
5.句意:他对此感到非常惊讶,于是向他的同学们求助。固定搭配 be shocked by 表示“对……感到震惊/惊讶”,此处用过去分词形式的形容词shocked,作表语描述Jack的感受。
6.句意:杰克认真地听着,并努力把它们记下来。句子需要一个副词修饰动词listens,方框中的形容词careful需变为副词形式carefully,表示“认真地听”,符合语境。
7.句意:他发现中国人并不强烈倾向于直接表达自己的感受。此处需用方框内的形容词strong,表示“强烈的”,符合“不倾向于直接表达感受”的文化差异语境。
8.句意:一开始他对这种差异感到很震惊,但后来他学着去理解它。结合上下文,此处应延续Jack对文化差异的感受,用startle构成be startled by搭配,表示“被这种差异震惊”,符合语境逻辑。
9.句意:杰克还了解到,不同的国家有着不同的文化传统。句子需要一个形容词修饰名词traditions,方框中的名词culture需变为形容词形式cultural,表示“文化传统”。
10.句意:日复一日,他对中国文化越来越感兴趣,并决定多待一段时间。固定搭配become interested in表示“对……感兴趣”,此处用形容词interested,描述Jack对中国文化态度的变化。
