【第一课时】知识输入与框架搭建
第一部分 核心词汇精讲
1. patience ★★★★☆ n. 耐心;忍耐力;毅力
【常考搭配】
with patience 耐心地
have patience with sb 对某人有耐心
lose patience with sb 对某人失去耐心
patient adj. 耐心的 n. 病人;patiently adv. 耐心地
【重点·易错】
patient一词多义:形容词“耐心的”,名词“病人”。高考完形填空常考此熟词生义。patience为不可数名词。
【教材原句】
Roderick: "Patience. If you don't mind, may I ask you how much money you have?" (Act 1, Scene 3)
罗德里克:"耐心点。如果你不介意,我可以问你你有多少钱吗?"(第一幕第三场)
It takes great patience to run a small shop on Hanzheng Street, for customers there may bargain for half an hour before deciding to buy anything.
【当堂训练】
The shop owner, who had served customers with great ______ (patient) for over thirty years, finally decided to retire, though his regular customers begged him not to leave the street ______ he had worked since he was a teenager.
2. account ★★★★★ n./vi. 描述;叙述;账户;认为是
【常考搭配】
account for 占……比例;解释(原因)
take sth into account 考虑到;顾及
on account of 因为;由于
give an account of 描述;叙述
by all accounts 据说;根据各方面所说
【重点·易错】
account是高考高频多义词。account for有两个常考含义:①占(比例)②解释(原因)。如:His illness accounts for his absence.(他因病缺席。)
【教材原句】
Henry: "The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance." (Act 1, Scene 4)
亨利:"事实上,我是通过做无薪工来挣船费的,这就是我这副模样的原因。"(第一幕第四场)
Passed down through generations, small family-run shops account for nearly 60% of all businesses on Hanzheng Street—and this figure has barely changed even as e-commerce grows.
【当堂训练】
The manager, who was directly ______ (account) for the incident, explained that human error rather than system failure ______ (account) for the loss that had cost the company over ten thousand yuan.
3. seek ★★★★☆ vt./vi. 寻找;寻求;争取;请求
【常考搭配】
seek to do sth 试图做某事;设法做某事
seek for/after sth 寻找某物
seek one's fortune 寻找发财机会;外出闯天下
seek help/advice 寻求帮助/建议
【重点·易错】
seek的过去式和过去分词均为sought,不可写作seeked。seek to do sth比try to do sth更正式。
【教材原句】
Henry: "I went to the American consulate to seek help, but… Anyway, I didn't dare to try again." (Act 1, Scene 3)
亨利:"我去美国领事馆寻求帮助,但……总之,我不敢再试了。"(第一幕第三场)
Attracted by favorable policies and a far lower cost of living than Beijing or Shanghai, many young entrepreneurs come to Wuhan to seek their fortune in the city’s booming digital economy.
【当堂训练】
Many young people, ______ (seek) their fortune in cities where opportunities seemed more abundant, left their hometowns, though few of them ever imagined that the road to success would be so paved with disappointments.
4. judge ★★★★☆ v./n. 判断;断定;法官;审判员
【常考搭配】
judging by/from 从……来看(独立成分,句首固定用judging)
judge sb/sth by/from 根据……判断……
judgement n. 判断;判断力
【重点·易错】
judging by/from是固定用法,无论主语是什么,都用judging形式,不可用judged。该结构在句中作独立成分,不受主句主语限制。
【课文主题例句】
Judging from his appearance, which was nothing more than a worn-out coat and a pair of torn shoes, nobody would have believed that he was a man of great wealth.
从他的外表来看——不过是一件破旧的外套和一双破鞋——没有人会相信他是个非常富有的人。
【场景例句】
Judging from how he remains calm even when customers are rude, this shop owner has learned more about real business than many who have studied management for years.
【当堂训练】
______ (judge) from the expression on the customer's face, the shop assistant realized that the price he had quoted was far beyond what the man, ______ had been browsing for nearly an hour, could afford.

【常考搭配】
spot sb doing sth 发现某人正在做某事
on the spot 当场;在现场
a scenic spot 景点
a weak spot 弱点
【重点·易错】
spot作动词时意为“发现、认出”,相当于notice或catch sight of,强调突然看见。作名词时意为“地点、斑点”。spot的过去式和过去分词需双写t:spotted。
【教材原句】
Henry: "The next morning I was spotted by a ship." (Act 1, Scene 3)
亨利:"第二天早上,我被一艘船发现了。"(第一幕第三场)
After decades of searching through piles of goods on Hanzheng Street, a sharp-eyed shopper spotted a rare Qing dynasty vase the owner had mistaken for a cheap imitation.
【当堂训练】

【常考搭配】
on the scene 在现场;到场
behind the scenes 在幕后;秘密地
the scene of the accident/crime 事故/犯罪现场
Act 1, Scene 3 第一幕第三场
【重点·易错】
scene指具体的场景、场面或戏剧中的“场”;scenery是不可数名词,指整体风景;view指从某处看到的景色;sight指名胜、景象(常用复数sights)。
【课文主题例句】
The story is set in London in 1903, and the opening scene takes place in a restaurant where Henry, penniless and hungry, is treated with contempt by the waiters.
故事发生在1903年的伦敦,开场的一幕发生在一家餐馆里,身无分文、饥肠辘辘的亨利在那里遭到服务员的蔑视。
【场景例句】
During the Spring Festival, the chaotic scene on Hanzheng Street—thousands of shoppers crowding narrow alleys filled with the smell of local snacks—attracts visitors from across the region.
【当堂训练】
The first two ______ (scene) of the play, which are set in a London restaurant where a penniless young man is being humiliated by the waiters, reveal the central theme that the author, ______ had witnessed similar incidents himself, wanted to explore.
7. indeed ★★★☆☆ adv. 其实;实际上;当然;确实
【常考搭配】
indeed常用于强调肯定回答或补充说明,相当于in fact或certainly
Thank you very much indeed. 实在非常感谢。
【重点·易错】
indeed在句中位置灵活:可置于句首、句中或句末。置于句首时常用逗号隔开,表示“确实、诚然”,引出让步或补充。注意与as a matter of fact(事实上)换用。
【课文主题例句】
—Is he really a millionaire? —Indeed he is. I saw the note with my own eyes, which is something I would never have believed if I had not witnessed it myself.
——他真是百万富翁吗?——确实是的。我亲眼见过那张钞票,如果不是亲眼所见,我绝不会相信这种事。
【场景例句】
The prices on Hanzheng Street are indeed reasonable, so shoppers from neighboring provinces still visit in person even though they could easily find cheaper goods online.
【当堂训练】
It was, ______ (actual), one of the most honest shops I had ever visited, a place ______ the owner would rather lose a sale than cheat a customer, a principle that had earned him the respect of everyone on the street.
8. permit ★★★★☆ vt./vi./n. 允许;准许;使有可能;许可证;执照
【常考搭配】
permit sb to do sth 允许某人做某事
permit doing sth 允许做某事
without permission 未经允许
a business permit 营业执照
permission n. 准许;许可;批准
【重点·易错】
permit后接sb时用不定式:permit sb to do sth;后直接接动作时用动名词:permit doing sth。类似用法的词还有allow, advise, forbid等。permit作名词时重音在第一音节,意为"许可证"。
【课文主题例句】
The waiter would not permit Henry to enter the restaurant until he saw the bank note, at which point his attitude changed so dramatically that it was almost comical.
直到看到那张钞票,服务员才允许亨利进入餐馆,这时他的态度变化之大几乎到了滑稽的程度。
【场景例句】
Before opening a store on Hanzheng Street, owners must obtain a business permit—introduced after a series of fires in the 1990s raised safety concerns.
【当堂训练】
The manager refused ______ (permit) him to enter the stockroom without proper identification, explaining that the company did not permit ______ (stranger) to access areas where valuable goods were stored.
9. contrary ★★★★☆ adj./n. 相反的;相对立的;相反的事实(或事情)
【常考搭配】
on the contrary 正相反;恰恰相反
contrary to 与……相反
be contrary to 违反;与……相悖
to the contrary 相反的(地)
【重点·易错】
on the contrary用于否定前面的说法并引出相反的事实,意为“正相反”;on the other hand用于引出另一方面,意为“另一方面”,二者不可混用。contrary to后接名词或名词性短语。
【课文主题例句】
—You must be a wealthy man, dressed in such fine clothes. —On the contrary, I am penniless; the clothes were lent to me by a friend who took pity on my situation.
——你穿得这么好,一定是个有钱人。——恰恰相反,我身无分文;这衣服是一位同情我处境的朋友借给我的。
【场景例句】
Contrary to common belief, running a small shop on Hanzheng Street is no path to quick wealth: profit margins are thin, and online competition grows fiercer each year.
【当堂训练】
—I suppose you must be very rich, owning such a large shop. —______ the contrary, I am deeply in debt, a situation ______ has been made worse by the rising rent and declining number of customers.
10. pretend ★★★★☆ vi./vt. 假装;佯装
【常考搭配】
pretend to do sth 假装做某事
pretend to be doing sth 假装正在做某事
pretend to have done sth 假装已经做了某事
pretend that... 假装……
【重点·易错】
pretend后接不定式时,注意三种形式:一般式to do(假装要做)、进行式to be doing(假装正在做)、完成式to have done(假装已经做过)。高考语法填空常考不定式的时态形式。
【课文主题例句】
When they saw the million pound note, the shop assistants, who had been ignoring Henry only moments before, pretended to be very busy and polite, as if they had always treated him with the greatest respect.
当他们看到百万英镑钞票时,刚才还对亨利不理不睬的店员们假装非常忙碌且彬彬有礼,好像他们一直都对他极为尊敬似的。
【场景例句】
Knowing that most tourists cannot tell real antiques from fakes, some dishonest traders pretend their mass-produced goods are rare treasures and charge exorbitant prices.
【当堂训练】
He pretended ______ (read) a newspaper when the manager entered, though it was obvious to everyone that he had been sleeping, a fact ______ he tried desperately to conceal by adjusting his tie and clearing his throat.
11. manners ★★★☆☆ n. 礼貌;礼仪;习俗
【常考搭配】
good/bad manners 有/没有礼貌
It is good/bad manners to do sth 做某事是有/没有礼貌的
table manners 餐桌礼仪
manner n. 方式;方法(单数)
【重点·易错】
manners用复数形式表示"礼貌、礼仪",谓语动词用复数;manner用单数形式表示"方式、方法",相当于way。It is bad manners to do sth中manners虽为复数,但前面用It is,这是固定句型。
【课文主题例句】
It is bad manners to stare at a stranger in the street, yet everyone in the restaurant was staring at Henry, whose ragged clothes contrasted sharply with the fine linen tablecloths.
在街上盯着陌生人看是不礼貌的,但餐馆里的每个人都在盯着亨利,他破旧的衣服与精致的亚麻桌布形成了鲜明的对比。
【场景例句】
Good manners are essential on Hanzheng Street: customers treated with respect return more often and recommend the shop to friends, the real key to long-term success.
【当堂训练】
It is bad ______ (manner) to interrupt others while they are speaking, a rule ______ the new employee, who had been raised in a household where politeness was valued above all else, had learned from an early age.
12. maintain ★★★★☆ vt. 维持;保持;维修;保养;坚持认为
【常考搭配】
maintain balance/order 维持平衡/秩序
maintain contact with sb 与某人保持联系
maintain that... 坚持认为……
maintenance n. 维护;保养;维持
【重点·易错】
maintain意为“维持”时,强调使某种状态持续下去,如maintain peace(维持和平);意为“坚持认为”时,后接that从句,相当于insist that。注意maintain不用于进行时态。
【课文主题例句】
Henry maintained that he was an honest man despite his shabby appearance, a claim that was met with laughter until the moment he produced the million pound bank note from his pocket.
亨利坚持认为,尽管自己衣衫褴褛,他仍是一个诚实的人,这一说法遭到了嘲笑,直到他从口袋里掏出那张百万英镑钞票的那一刻。
【场景例句】
The most successful shops on Hanzheng Street have maintained a reputation for honest dealing for generations, even when cutting corners might seem profitable.

三、重点句式(仿写提升)
句式1:The reason why... is that...(……的原因是……)
The reason why Hanzheng Street has lasted for over 500 years, surviving wars, revolutions and economic crises, is that the merchants there always keep their word, even when doing so means short-term losses.
汉正街之所以能延续500多年,历经战争、革命和经济危机而不衰,是因为那里的商人总是信守承诺,即使这样做意味着短期亏损。
[仿写] The reason why Wuhan's business environment has become increasingly attractive is that ______.
句式2:It seems that...(似乎……)
It seems that people in the story, who are supposed to be civilized and refined, judge Henry by his appearance rather than his character, .
故事中的人们——本应是文明而有教养的——似乎是以貌取人,而不是看亨利的品格,作者以尖刻的幽默讽刺了这种倾向。
[仿写] It seems that ______.
句式3:not only... but also...(不但……而且……)
Hanzheng Street is not only a commercial center where thousands of transactions take place every day, but also a cultural heritage of Wuhan that embodies the city's entrepreneurial spirit.
汉正街不仅是一个每天发生数千笔交易的商业中心,也是体现这座城市创业精神的武汉文化遗产。
[仿写] ______ not only ______, but also ______.
句式4:介词+which引导定语从句
Hanzheng Street, from which the phrase "Hanzheng spirit" of honesty and hard work originally comes, has a documented history of over 500 years, making it one of the oldest commercial streets in China.
汉正街——"汉正街精神"一词即源于此——有文字记载的历史超过500年,是中国最古老的商业街之一。
[仿写] Chuhe Han Street, ______(填介词)which many young people like to go on weekends, is a modern commercial landmark that blends traditional Chu culture with contemporary design.
四、重点语法——名词性从句
【核心概念】
在句子中起名词作用的从句叫名词性从句,包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。本单元课文中大量出现宾语从句和表语从句,如Henry believed that he was honest. / The question is whether Henry can survive the month without spending the note.
【宾语从句三要素】
1. 引导词:that(无意义,口语中可省略)/ if, whether(是否)/ 连接代词(what, who, which, whose)/ 连接副词(when, where, why, how)
2. 语序:陈述语序(主语+谓语),不可用疑问语序。如:I don't know where he has gone.(不说where has he gone)
3. 时态呼应:主句为过去时,从句用相应的过去时态;但从句表示客观真理时仍用一般现在时。
【重点·易错】
① that与what的区别:that在从句中不充当成分,只起连接作用;what在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语,相当于the thing(s) that。
② whether与if的区别:介词后、不定式前、与or not连用时只能用whether,不能用if。
③ 否定转移:think, believe, expect, suppose等动词后,从句的否定要前移到主句。如:I don't think he will come.(不说I think he won't come.)
④ 表语从句:The reason why... is that...中只能用that引导,不可用because。
【教材原句链接】
I think (that) honesty is more important than wealth, a belief that Henry never abandons even when he is treated with contempt.
我认为诚实比财富更重要,这是亨利即使遭到蔑视也从未放弃的信念。
The brothers asked whether Henry had any money with him, a question that made him feel deeply ashamed of his poverty.
兄弟俩问亨利身上是否带了钱,这个问题使他为自己的贫穷深感羞愧。
The truth is that Henry is penniless but honest, while those who despise him are wealthy but morally bankrupt.
事实是亨利身无分文但为人诚实,而那些蔑视他的人虽然富有却道德沦丧。

Honesty Is the Best Policy
It is important for us to understand that honesty is the foundation of any business, a principle that has been proven time and again throughout history. The reason why Hanzheng Street has lasted for over 500 years is that the merchants there always keep their word, even when doing so means short-term losses.
Honest business not only builds trust with customers, but also creates long-term success that no amount of clever marketing can achieve. When shop owners offer fair prices and treat people politely, customers will come back again and again, bringing their friends and families with them.
Let us start from small things: tell the truth, keep our promises, and treat everyone fairly. Only in this way can we build a better business environment for everyone.
