例：Times have changed, and we shouldn’t fall behind them.時代變了，我們不應(yīng)落后于時代。
It is the fastest computer of modern times.這是當代速度最快的計算機。
In ancient times, people lived on wild fruits and wild beasts.
在古代，人們靠吃野果和野獸為生。
She didn’t understand the spirit of the times.她不理解那個時代的精神。
有時，time作“時代”解時，也可以用單數(shù)形式。例如in Shakespeare’s time(在莎士比亞時代), the feelings of the time(反映時代的情緒)。
6) In the games, there were 311 competitors from just 13 countries. 在1896年的奧運會上只有來自13個國家的311名參賽者。
competitor是名詞，意思是“競賽者”，其形容詞是competitive(競賽的)，名詞competition（競賽)，動詞是compete，compete是不及物動詞，常用于compete against/with sb. in sth./for sth，例如：
Several companies are competing against/with each other for the contract.
幾家公司正為爭取一項合同互相競爭。
Ten sportsmen competed for the gold medal. 十名運動員正這塊金牌。
7) After that more and more countries joined in the games. 此后，越來越多的國家參加了運動會。
adj./adv.（比較級）+and+adj./adv.（比較級)，是一種“雙重比較”的結(jié)構(gòu)，表示持續(xù)不斷的變化，意即“越來越......”。例如：
It is getting colder and colder. 天越來越冷了。
My hometown is becoming more and more beautiful. 我的家鄉(xiāng)變得越來越美了。
More and more farmers are coming to big cities. 越來越多的農(nóng)民正涌入大城市。
3．語法說明：學習一般將來時的被動語態(tài)。
復(fù)習句子類型（主謂、主謂賓、主系表、There be等句型)。
一般將來時表示將要發(fā)生的動作或情況。一般將來時的被動語態(tài)的構(gòu)成：
will/shall + be + -ed(過去分詞)。此外還有be going to + be + -ed, be to + be + -ed 等。
例：You won’t be allowed to take so much luggage with you. 不會讓你帶那么多行李的。
Shall we be asked to attend the opening ceremony? 要邀請我們參加開幕式嗎？
What tools will be needed in the work? 工作中需要什么工具？
The play is going to be produced on three evenings. 這部劇要三天排出來。
A new hospital is to be built there. 在那要建一家醫(yī)院。
句子類型：英語句子類型就是基本句型。一般來說有五種基本句型，千變?nèi)f化的句子都是由他們演變而來的。這五種基本句型是：
1）主語＋(不及物動詞)謂語。字母代號為SV(S=subject, V=verb)
在這類句型中，謂語動詞后面又是可以不帶任何成分，而大多數(shù)情況下跟著狀語性質(zhì)的修飾語。作不及物動詞謂語的狀語，可以是名詞、副詞、介詞短語、不定式短語、分詞短語、從句等。
例：主語＋不及物動詞＋名詞
They worked day and night. 他們?nèi)找构ぷ鳌?/p>
主語＋不及物動詞＋for引導(dǎo)的介詞短語＋動詞不定式
The mother waited for her son to come back. 母親等兒子回家。
It ＋不及物動詞seem, happen, appear＋從句
It happened that they were out when we called on them that evening.
我們那天晚上去看望他們時，他們碰巧不在家。
2) 主語＋（及物動詞）謂語＋賓語
這類句型中，謂語動詞后都要有一個賓語；一些不及物動詞加介詞構(gòu)成的短語，性質(zhì)上是及物的，相當于一個及物動詞。可以作及物動詞賓語的有：名詞、代詞、數(shù)詞、動詞不定式、動名詞、從句等。
例：主語＋及物動詞＋數(shù)詞
Who are going to take these three? 誰要拿走這三個？
主語＋及物動詞＋不定式
He tried to stand on his head. 他試圖倒立。
主語＋及物動詞＋動名詞
I remember seeing her somewhere before.我記得在哪見過他。
3) 主語＋系動詞＋表語
系動詞除be外，還有由實義動詞轉(zhuǎn)化而來的系動詞look, feel, seem, get, keep, last, sound等。可以用作表語的有：名詞、名詞性物主代詞、不定代詞、人稱代詞、形容詞、數(shù)詞、副詞、不定式（短語)、動名詞（短語)、分詞(短語)、介詞短語、從句。
例：Smith was the boss of the company. 史密斯是一家公司的老板。
Is this book yours? 這本書是你的嗎？
It is a big mistake for her to have bought the clothes.她買了那衣服可犯了大錯誤。
It is a pity that she is out. 很遺憾，她出去了。
4) 主語＋(及物動詞)謂語＋間接賓語＋直接賓語（雙賓語）
例：主語＋及物動詞＋間接賓語＋直接賓語
He gave me some beautiful pictures. 她給了我一些漂亮的畫片。
主語＋及物動詞＋直接賓語＋to引導(dǎo)介詞短語
He handed the purse to the teacher. 他把錢包交給了老師。
主語＋及物動詞＋直接賓語＋for引導(dǎo)介詞短語
Would you fetch some chalk for me? 你給我取一些粉筆號嗎？
5) 主語＋（及物動詞）謂語＋賓語＋賓補（復(fù)合賓語）
賓語和賓補之間存在著邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系。可以用作賓補的有：名詞、形容詞、副詞、介詞短語、動詞不定式、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞。
例：主語＋及物動詞＋名詞、代詞＋形容詞
We elected him monitor of our class. 我們選他當班長。
主語＋及物動詞＋it＋形容詞、名詞、動名詞＋for/of sb＋不定式
I think it foolish of him to believe her. 我認為他相信她是愚蠢的。
這些基本句型都是陳述句、肯定句和主動句，象疑問句、否定句、被動句都是由這些基本句型演變來的，基本句型還可以擴大，有祈使句，感嘆句，并列句，復(fù)合句，強調(diào)句等。
6）there be句型
這是一種表示“存在”的句型。there是引導(dǎo)詞，本身沒有意義，主語通常在謂語動詞be之后，謂語動詞be須與主語保持“數(shù) ”的一致。在構(gòu)成疑問式時，把be提到there前。否定是在動詞后加not。
例：There is going to be a meeting tomorrow. 明天有會。
There are a lot of books in our school library. 我們學校圖書館有很多書。
There isn’t a doctor in the village. 這個村子沒有醫(yī)生。
Is there anybody here? 這有人嗎？
這種結(jié)構(gòu)中的謂語動詞有時不用動詞be，而用seem to be，happen to be，appear to be等；還可以是live，come，go，stand，lie等動詞。
例：There happened to be no one in the room. 碰巧屋子里沒有人。
There stands a tall building by the lake. 湖邊矗立著一座高樓。

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That’s why the men still wear kilts at traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That’s what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1703, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt: the kilt. That’s how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment(=feelings): The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason: A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (條紋) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the color are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

Holidays in the United States usually occur(出現(xiàn)) at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged(安排) to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends---that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.
Vacation can be from two weeks a year to four weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.
