论文部分内容阅读
Unit 1
1. For those who love outdoor activities, it is possible to hike, sail, crosscountry ski or travel by snowmobile for hours—or even days—without meeting another person. (L.11 P.2) 对于热爱户外运动的人来说，在远足、帆船运动、 越野滑雪或雪车旅行中， 他们可能好几个小时甚至好几天都碰不到一个人。
【点拨】全句采用it is possible (for sb.) to do 的句型，意为“对于某人做某事是有可能的”。该句将 for sb. 提前至句首。我们在使用possible 时，要注意，possible 是不能用于以人为主语的句子，须用It is possible for sb. to do sth. 这样的句型。
如： 她可能解决那个问题。
［×］ She is possible to solve the problem.
［√］ It is possible for her to solve the problem.

Studies show that people are more______to suffer from back problems if they always sit before computer screens for long hours. (2010陕西卷)
A. likely
B. possible
C. probable
D. sure
【答案与简析】A。选项中possible和probable 都“可能的”之意，但他们做表语时主语只能是it。而该句中的主语是人，因此，不可用possible 或probable。以人为主语，在表达“某人可能做某事”时，用 sb. be likely to do sth.。
2. Canadians, especially wildlife photographers and hunters, are quite fond of this wilderness, and you will be too! (L.14, P.2) 加拿大人非常喜欢这片荒原，特别是野生生物摄影师和猎人。相信你也会喜欢！
【点拨】quite是一个副词，意为“相当；完全地”，它既可修饰形容词、副词和动词，还可修饰名词、介词短语等。
(1) quite修饰形容词、副词等。
如：This is quite impossible. 这是完全不可能的。
They are both quite kind. 他们两个人都非常和蔼可亲。
(2) quite修饰动词。
如：I quite understand how to use the machine. 我完全了解该怎么去使用那部机器。
(3) quite修饰名词。
a. 当名词前没有形容词修饰时，quite要放在冠词前。
例如：He isn’t quite a gentleman. 他不太绅士。
b. 当名词前有形容词修饰时，quite可放在冠词前，也可放在冠词之后。
如：Linda is quite a good girl. (=Linda is a quite good girl.)琳达是一个相当好的女孩儿。
(4) quite修饰介词短语。如：You are quite behind the age. 你比你的实际年龄小多了。
(5) quite与not连用，构成“not quite”，表示部分否定，意思是“没有完全……”。
例如： Mr. Brown is not quite well. 布朗先生还没有完全康复。

3. Montreal, a port in the province of Quebec, is the second largest city in Canada, and also the second largest Frenchspeaking city in the world, Paris being the largest. (L.25, P.2) 魁北克省的港口城市蒙特利尔是加拿大第二大城市，也是世界上仅次于巴黎的第二大法语城市。
【点拨】句子中的Paris being the largest为独立主格结构 (absolute construction)，(也可看成是省去with的with复合结构)。独立主格结构与主句关系密切，一同来表达一个完整的意思。独立主格结构，通常在句中起状语从句的作用，表时间、原因、方式、伴随等。独立主格结构可置于句首或句尾，常用逗号与主句隔开。
“独立主格结构”的结构形式为：
名词 / 代词+doing (名词 / 代词与doing 构成逻辑上的主谓关系，表动作正在进行)
名词 / 代词+ done (名词 / 代词与done构成逻辑上的动宾关系，表动作已完成或被动)
名词 / 代词+ to do （名词 / 代词与 to do 构成逻辑上的主谓关系，表动作将要进行)
名词 / 代词+ adj. / adv. / prep.phrase (名词 / 代词与后面构成逻辑上的主表语关系，说明其性质、特征、位置或状态)
如：We redoubled our efforts, each man working like two. 我们加倍努力，一个人干两个人的活。
All things considered, I think we ought to give the job to George. 各方面考虑起来，我想我们应当把工作交给乔治。
We divided the work, he to dean the window and I to sweep the floor. 我们分了工，他擦窗户，我扫地。

4. For lovers of this sport, though, it is an art from. (L.42, P. 15) 但对于热爱这项运动的人而言，它是一种艺术。
【点拨】though，用作连词，引导让步状语从句，此时它与 although的用法有相似之处，如：
Although / Though he is in poor health, (yet) he works very hard. 尽管他身体不好，然而他工作很努力。
though 与as同样，意为“虽然 / 尽管……，可用在倒装的让步状语从句中，结构为：
（1） 形容词+as+主语+动词 (常用be 或其它系动词)，如：
Old though /as he is, he can climb the mountain.
（2） 名词+as+主语+动词 (常用be 或其它系动词)，注意：名词前通常不用任何冠词，如：
Professor though / as he is, he is still going on studying.
（3） 副词+as+主语+动词，如：
Much though / as I love him, I will never marry him.
（4） 动词原形+as+主语+情态动词，如：
Try though / as he would, he could not lift the rock.
用作副词时多放在句末或句中，与前面或后面的句子用逗号隔开，意为“然而、但是”。
如： He said he would come to the party, he didn’t, though. 他说他会回来参加晚会的，然而没来。

【点拨】全句采用it is possible (for sb.) to do 的句型，意为“对于某人做某事是有可能的”。该句将 for sb. 提前至句首。我们在使用possible 时，要注意，possible 是不能用于以人为主语的句子，须用It is possible for sb. to do sth. 这样的句型。
如： 她可能解决那个问题。
［×］ She is possible to solve the problem.
［√］ It is possible for her to solve the problem.

A. likely
B. possible
C. probable
D. sure
【答案与简析】A。选项中possible和probable 都“可能的”之意，但他们做表语时主语只能是it。而该句中的主语是人，因此，不可用possible 或probable。以人为主语，在表达“某人可能做某事”时，用 sb. be likely to do sth.。
2. Canadians, especially wildlife photographers and hunters, are quite fond of this wilderness, and you will be too! (L.14, P.2) 加拿大人非常喜欢这片荒原，特别是野生生物摄影师和猎人。相信你也会喜欢！
【点拨】quite是一个副词，意为“相当；完全地”，它既可修饰形容词、副词和动词，还可修饰名词、介词短语等。
(1) quite修饰形容词、副词等。
如：This is quite impossible. 这是完全不可能的。
They are both quite kind. 他们两个人都非常和蔼可亲。
(2) quite修饰动词。
如：I quite understand how to use the machine. 我完全了解该怎么去使用那部机器。
(3) quite修饰名词。
a. 当名词前没有形容词修饰时，quite要放在冠词前。
例如：He isn’t quite a gentleman. 他不太绅士。
b. 当名词前有形容词修饰时，quite可放在冠词前，也可放在冠词之后。
如：Linda is quite a good girl. (=Linda is a quite good girl.)琳达是一个相当好的女孩儿。

【点拨】句子中的Paris being the largest为独立主格结构 (absolute construction)，(也可看成是省去with的with复合结构)。独立主格结构与主句关系密切，一同来表达一个完整的意思。独立主格结构，通常在句中起状语从句的作用，表时间、原因、方式、伴随等。独立主格结构可置于句首或句尾，常用逗号与主句隔开。
“独立主格结构”的结构形式为：
名词 / 代词+doing (名词 / 代词与doing 构成逻辑上的主谓关系，表动作正在进行)
名词 / 代词+ done (名词 / 代词与done构成逻辑上的动宾关系，表动作已完成或被动)
名词 / 代词+ to do （名词 / 代词与 to do 构成逻辑上的主谓关系，表动作将要进行)
名词 / 代词+ adj. / adv. / prep.phrase (名词 / 代词与后面构成逻辑上的主表语关系，说明其性质、特征、位置或状态)
如：We redoubled our efforts, each man working like two. 我们加倍努力，一个人干两个人的活。
All things considered, I think we ought to give the job to George. 各方面考虑起来，我想我们应当把工作交给乔治。
We divided the work, he to dean the window and I to sweep the floor. 我们分了工，他擦窗户，我扫地。

4. For lovers of this sport, though, it is an art from. (L.42, P. 15) 但对于热爱这项运动的人而言，它是一种艺术。
【点拨】though，用作连词，引导让步状语从句，此时它与 although的用法有相似之处，如：
Although / Though he is in poor health, (yet) he works very hard. 尽管他身体不好，然而他工作很努力。
though 与as同样，意为“虽然 / 尽管……，可用在倒装的让步状语从句中，结构为：
（1） 形容词+as+主语+动词 (常用be 或其它系动词)，如：
Old though /as he is, he can climb the mountain.
（2） 名词+as+主语+动词 (常用be 或其它系动词)，注意：名词前通常不用任何冠词，如：
Professor though / as he is, he is still going on studying.

Much though / as I love him, I will never marry him.
