重点知识讲解
1.Sure, go ahead.行,请便吧!
1)Sure这里作副词,表示肯定(=Surely,Certainly,Of course)
2)Go ahead有下列几种常用的用法:
A.(用于祈使句)尽管去做
—May I use your dictionary? 我可以用你的词典吗?
— Yes, go ahead.行,你尽管问吧!
B.继续做(某事) go ahead with sth.

D.取得进展;有进步。
The modem agriculture and industry are going ahead rapidly. 现代工农业正在迅猛发展。
2.They’re said to be very good.据说他们都很不错。
不定式“to be very good作主语补足语,说明主语的情况。全句相当于It is said that they are very good 或 People say (that) they are very good。
这类句子在转换时,要注意不定式的形式变化。
(1) It is said that he is translating the book into English. =He is said to be translating the book into English.
(2) It is said that he has translated the book into English. =He is said to have translated the book into English.

3)行程为……;走……

5.They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need.他们到报社自己的图书馆去查阅他们需要的资料。
(1)that they need定语从句,修饰先行词information。关系代词只用that而不用which,因为当先行词之前有不定代词all,any,every,no,some等修饰时或先行词本身就是不定代词(如anything,something,nothing,all等)时,其后的定语从句常用关系代词引导。如果that在定语从句中作宾语,that可以省略。

2)look up
A.查阅;查找

6.work at, work on的区别
work on sth.中sth.是work的具体对象,work at sth.中sth.只说明所从事工作的性质(即时间、精力用在某一方面的事情上),而不在于说明正在做什么。如:
When the boy saw the soldiers, he stopped working on the branch, stood up, and took off his cap. 小男孩看到了这些士兵,便停止了削树枝,站了起来,取下帽子。(树枝是具体的对象)
work on还表示“继续工作”“努力影响或努力说服”。
Can you work on him to make him change his mind? 你能努力说服他改变主意吗?
7.Journalists have to stop working on one story and start working immediately on the important new one. 记者不得不放下手头正在写的报道,立即着手写新发生的重要事件。
1) stop working停止工作;stop doing sth. 停止干; stop to do sth.停下手头的事去干别的事
A. Now, stop talking. Class begins.不要讲话了,开始上课。
B. It's time for class. Please stop to listen to the teacher.上课了,请停止讲话,听老师讲课。
2)start working开始工作
start,begin,continue这几个动词后接动名词和动词不定式意义基本一样。但start,begin这两个动词要注意下列用法:
A.句中主语是物而不是人时,其后最好跟不定式。
The ice began/started to melt.冰开始化了。
B.当begin,start本身为-ing形式时,其后应跟不定式。
I'm beginning/starting to cook the dinner.我正要做饭。
C.其后的动词是情感动词或是与智力相关的动词如understand; realize; wonder; forget, remember; know; like; love等时也应用不定式形式。如:
I’m began to understand what he had done that for.我开始明白了他原来为什么做那件事。
After two years of practice, she started to realize that she had much to learn.通过两年的实践,她开始认识到她还有许多东西要学。
8.People want to buy the latest newspaper.人们要买最新的报纸。
l)句中的the latest意为“最新的,最近的”应和the连用,不可理解为late的最高级。如:
the latest news最新消息 the latest model最新型号
Have you read the latest novel?It is much better than his last one.你有没有看过他最新出版的小说,比他上一本好多了。
2)late除表示“晚、迟”之外,还可表示“已故的,前任的”意思,没有比较级。一般和定冠词连用,如:
her late husband她已故的丈夫 the late president 已故的总统 the late government 上一届政府
3)lately意为“近来”=recently如:
I've not been feeling very well lately.我最近身体欠佳。
Where have you been lately? 你最近去过哪里?
9.It clears from Monday to Saturday with a Sunday edition of Business Weekly each week.它每周星期一到星期六出版,星期天出商业周刊。
l)edition本,可数名词
a Sunday edition星期天版 a popular edition 普及版
an airmail edition 航空版 an overseas edition 海外版
2)weekly周刊,周报类似的有:
daily日报 monthly 月刊,月报 bimonthly 双月刊 quarterly 季刊 yearly 年刊weekly;monthly;daily;bimonthly;quarterly;yearly等,也可用作形容词和副词。a weekly TV talk 每周的电视讲话
Are you paid weekly or monthly? 你是拿月薪还是拿周薪?
10.I can see how English is used in everyday life as well.我还能观察到日常生活中使用的英语。
l)在everyday life中everyday为形容词,意为“日常的”。又如:
everyday work日常工作 everyday English 日常英语
every day的分开写为名词性短语,可作状语用。如:
We should be in touch with English every day.我们应该天天接触英语。
2)as well, also, too
A.本句还可以这样写
I can see how English is used in everyday life.或在原句中将as well改成too
I can see how English is used in everyday life, too.
B.as well作also,too解时,常常放在句末。(和一样)而常放在句子中间。又如:
I’m going to London and my sister’s coming as well.
I’m going to London and my sister’s coming, too.
I’m going to London and my sister is also coming.
我要去伦敦,我妹妹也随我一起去.

may/might (just) as well,意为“不妨;还是……的好”。如:
You may just as well tell me the truth.你还是对我说实话的好。
I might as well go.我最好还是去。
11.语法----动词的-ing形式的jxjyan>
(1))动名词作主语
动名词作主语一般置于句首,谓语用于单数,如:
但是表语是no use, no good, useless, better, a waste of time, nice, fun等时,应将动名词放至句尾,用it作形式主语。如:
It is no good wasting money. It’s no use working day and night.
(2)动名词作宾语(包括介词的宾语)
A只要求动名词作宾语,而不能用不定式作宾语的动词有:
finish, enjoy, suggest, avoid, mind, consider, practise, miss, dislike, risk, delay, escape, imagine, appreciate, can’t help, keep on, put off, give up, look forward to, get down to等。
如:He suggested practicing speaking English every day. Would you mind me not closing the door?
B有些动词既可接不定式,也可接动名词作宾语,区别是动名词表示抽象性,不定式表示具体性,含有将来的意思,此类动词有:
like, love, hate, begin, start, prefer, plan, continue等。
如:I love reading. I love to read this novel this evening.
C下列词后用不定式或动名词有明显区别:
②remember和forget.

She is interested in doing chemical experiments.她喜欢做化学实验。

china launches manned space flight
tuesday, october 11, ; posted: 10:30 p.m. edt (02:30 gmt)
the rocket carrying the shenzhou 6 capsule and astronauts blasts off. your e-mail alerts
jiuquan, china (ap) -- two years after china became only the third nation to launch a human into orbit, a pair of astronauts blasted off wednesday on a longer, riskier mission after receiving a farewell visit from premier wen jiabao.
wen said the "glorious and sacred mission" would demonstrate china's national confidence and ability.
rocket carrying the shenzhou 6 capsule and the astronauts blasted off wednesday from the remote base in china's northwest. in a break with the space agency's typical secrecy, the launch was shown live on chinese state television. the mission, reportedly due to last up to five days, is a key prestige project for china's communist leaders, who have justified the expense of a manned space program by saying that it will drive economic development. it will be more complicated than the first flight in , which carried one astronaut and lasted just 21 1/2 hours.
minutes after liftoff, mission control announced that the first stage booster had successfully separated from the rocket and that the flight had entered its preset orbit. the official xinhua news agency said the two astronauts, or "taikonauts," will take off their 22-pound spacesuits to travel back and forth between the two halves of their vessel -- a re-entry capsule and an orbiter that will stay aloft after they land.
earlier in the day, xinhua announced the identities of the two taikonauts -- fei junlong, 40, and nie haishen, 41. previous reports said 14 former fighter pilots were training for the mission. images of fei and jun in their cockpit as the craft roared toward orbit were broadcast live to hundreds of millions of chinese television viewers. none of the space flight was shown live by chinese television. "feeling pretty good," fei said in the first broadcast comment from the astronauts. xinhua said the crew was picked from a field of six finalists. nie was one of three finalists for the mission, which made a national hero of yang liwei. the two taikonauts will conduct experiments in orbit, xinhua said without elaborating.
china, the third nation to put a man into orbit, insisted ahead of the launch that its aspirations in space were strictly peaceful and that it opposes deploying weapons there. space officials say they hope to land an unmanned probe on the moon by and launch a space station. "we do not wish to see any form of weapons in outer space, so we reaffirm that our space flight program is an important element of mankind's peaceful utilization of outer space," foreign ministry spokesman kong quan said.
international reporters were barred from the launch base. the handful of chinese journalists allowed to attend the liftoff were warned they might be ordered to hand over any photos or video -- a possible image-control measure in case of an accident.
the shenzhou -- or divine vessel -- capsule is based on russia's three-seat soyuz, though with extensive modifications. spacesuits, life-support systems and other equipment are based on technology purchased from russia. but space officials say all equipment launched into orbit is chinese-made. china has had a rocketry program since the 1950s and fired its first satellite into orbit in 1970. it regularly launches satellites for foreign clients aboard its giant long march boosters.
3. introduction to people's daily
with publication started in june 1948 and a current circulation of 3 million, people's daily is the most influential and authoritative newspaper in china. according to unesco, it takes its place among the world top 10.
people's daily brings you the latest news dispatches of policy information and resolutions of the chinese government and major domestic news and international news releases from china. it reflects the views of the chinese people, expounds on justice and lambastes various forms of malpractice.
