  There be结构的基本句型是“There+be+主语+其他(状语、定语等)”。它表示“某时某处有某人或某物”。there是引导词,无词义,应弱读。There be位居该句型的句首。如:
  There is a small village at the foot of the mountain.
  要掌握There be句型需熟知以下几条:
  1. There be结构中be动词数的确定。
  be动词的数由它后面的主语来定。若主语是可数名词单数或不可数名词,则be动词应是单数is或was;若主语是可数名词复数,则be动词应是复数are或were。如:
  There is a new dictionary in her hand.
  There are a lot of people at the meeting.
  如果有两个或更多主语,be动词一般与离得最近的主语保持一致,即“就近一致”。如:
  There is a girl, two boys and some teachers on the playground.
  There are two boys, a girl and some teachers on the playground.
  2. There be结构中be的时态变化。
  ①一般现在时:be的形式是is/are。如:
  There is much milk here.
  Are there any boys here?
  ②一般过去时:be的形式是was/were。如:
  Were there any students in the reading room yesterday?
  There were some sheep on the road twenty minutes ago.
  ③一般将来时:be的形式是will be,也可以是be going to be。如:
  There will be a meeting next week.
  There is going to be a meeting next week.
  3. There be结构的句型转化。
  ⑴肯定句变为否定句
  ①There be结构的肯定句变否定句时,需在be后加not。is not可缩写成isn’t, are not可缩写成aren’t。
  ②这一结构的肯定句中有some时,需把some改为any。如:
  a. There is a girl playing in the garden.→There isn’t a girl playing in the garden.
  b. There are some books on the desk.→There aren’t any books on the desk.
  ③There be结构中作主语的名词前有a(an)或some时,变否定句,可以把not a(an)或not any改为no。即:not a(an)=no, not any=no。
  如上面a、b两句的否定句可以分别是:
  There is no girl playing in the garden.
  There are no books on the desk.
  ⑵否定句变为肯定句
  ①There be结构的否定句变肯定句时把be后的not去掉,将any改为some。如:
  There isn’t any ink in the bottle.→There is some ink in the bottle.
  ②如果否定句中be后是no+名词,改为肯定句时,根据主语的单、复数把no直接改为a(an)或some。主语为单数时改为a(an),主语为复数或不可数名词时改为some。如:
   a. There is no exercise book with her.→There is an exercise book with her.
   b. There is no water here and there.→There is some water here and there.
   c. There are no lamps in the room.→There are some lamps in the room.
  ⑶肯定句变为一般疑问句
  There be结构的肯定句变为一般疑问句时,需把be提到there前,be的第一个字母大写,句末用问号。如果主语前有some,需把some改为any。如:
  There are some apples in the basket.→Are there any apples in the basket?
  其答语为:Yes, there are./No, there aren’t (any).
  ⑷There be结构的特殊疑问句
  There be结构的基本句型是“There+be+主语+介词短语”。
  ①对句型中主语部分划线提问,其特殊疑问句应为:What’s+介词短语?如:
  a. There is some water in the cup.→What’s in the cup?
  b. There are 20 people in the room.→What’s in the room?
  ②<1>There be结构基本句型中作主语的名词如果是可数名词,对名词前的数词(one,three…)或相当于数词的词(some,a few,many…)提问,其特殊疑问句形式为“How many+可数名词复数+are there+介词短语?”如:
  a. There is a radio on the table.→How many radios are there on the table?
  b. There are a few students in the classroom.→How many students are there in the classroom?
  <2>如果there be句型中作主语的为不可数名词,对不可数名词前的表示数量的词some, a little或短语a cup of, three bottles of…提问,其特殊疑问句形式为“How much+不可数名词+is there+介词短语?”。如:
  There is a little milk in the bottle.→How much milk is there in the bottle?
  4. There be结构,谓语动词除be外,还可用某些含有“存在”意义的不及物动词或词组,如live, stand, lie, come, enter等。如:
  There stands a bridge across the river.
  Many years ago there lived an old man.
  Then there came a knock at the door.
  5. There be结构不能与have(有)混用。
  ①There be表示“存在”,have表示“拥有”。所以不能把There be中的be改为have。如:
  There are five windows in the room. (√)
  There have five windows in the room. (×)
  ②当have表示事物特征时,可用“主语+have”结构替换There be结构。如:
  a. There are five windows in the room.→This room has five windows.
  b. There is a book in my hand.→I have a book in my hand.

摘 要: 高职学生的思想管理工作可以说是个复杂而艰难的工作,尤其是有些学生是高考的失意者,进入高职学校或多或少地存在着自暴自弃,凡事无所谓的心态。再加上现在大多孩子都是独生子女,家庭的特殊环境使得有些孩子养成了自私自利的性格,同时大学生的逆反心理比较突出和强烈,这样就为学生管理带来很多障碍。作者结合多年高职班主任工作经验,对该项工作作探究。  关键词: 高职学生 班级管理 学生管理工作    目前
诗教,是自古以来通过诗教化民众的方法。一首好诗发挥的精神作用,往往要超过千言万语的枯燥说教。我们的祖先在《诗经》的创作中给后人树立了榜样,它不但提供给人们以艺术审美的享受,同时它还以诗性的方式教人们如何去做人。《诗经》的学习与教育,对完美人格的培养具有重要意义。  《诗经》是一部具有政治、道德、伦理、哲学以及审美、文化教育意义的著作。它既是诗,也是历史;既是文化知识的教科书,也是政治道德伦理的经典
