Listening

1) take place “發生、舉行”，該詞組是不及物的，不能加賓語，當然也沒有被動。

請判斷哪一句正確：

China has taken place great changes since 1978.

Great changes have been taken place in China since 1978.

Great changes have taken place in China since 1978.

Happen 也沒有被動，意即come about，一般指事故等偶然時間的發生。

交通事故是何時發生的？ When _________ the __________ accident __________?

2) Hank was caught in the earthquake. Hank 被困于地震。

catch “（使）絆住、纏住、掛住” be caught “陷入困境、進退兩難”，表示人遇到下雨、刮風、交通堵塞等，可用句型：somebody + be caught + 介詞的結構。

The car was caught ______________ two trucks. (夾在…之間)

He was _________ ____ the _________ hour traffic. (受困于高峰期的車流中)

Thousands of people were caught in the buildings when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists.

I got caught in a shower / rain on my way back home yesterday.

☆☆☆3) the broken road 被破壞了的路

注意broken是分詞定語。分詞作定語，要注意它的形式（是現在分詞還是過去分詞）：

單純現在/過去分詞一般作前置定語

an ___________ speech（激動人心的） ____________ tears (激動的)

A broken cup a ____________ face (驚奇的)

an interesting story ___________ English 口語

a flying plane A ___________ boy (正在睡覺的)

developing countries 發展中國家 _______________ countries 發達國家

Speaking

有關fire的幾個詞組：

be on fire 在燃燒（表示狀態）

Look! That house is on fire. (= That house is burning.)

The house _____ __________ _______ __________ (已經燒了) for three hours.

Catch fire 著火（表示動作）（沒有被動）改正下列有錯誤的句子：

①Paper is caught fire easily. ②Paper can be caught fire easily.

③Paper catches fire easily.

play with fire 玩火 set fire to something 放火燒…

That house has _______ _______ _______ _____ by those bad guys. (被點著了)

作 “火災、爐火、火堆”解，是可數名詞：

fire v. 開火；解雇：

The soldiers fired at the enemy.

Bob _____ _______ ______ his boss yesterday. (被老板開除)

Reading

1) Flora heard somebody shouting. Flora聽到有人（正在）叫

注意hear是感官動詞，我們曾經學過，感官動詞可以加動詞不定式（省略to）、分詞（包含現在分詞和過去分詞）作賓語補足語。

現在分詞作賓補，一般表示賓語正在進行的動作；而過去分詞作賓補，表示賓語的被動行為；如果用省略 to 的不定式作賓補的話，則表示動作的全過程。

感官動詞主要有 see, hear, watch, feel, notice, look at, listen to, observe, find 等
