拋磚引玉】
在本單元同學們將要學習有關古跡保護的知識，了解聞名于世的柬埔寨古高棉王朝龐大的宮殿遺址吳哥寺（又名吳哥窟）的歷史和現狀，樹立愛護古跡的戰略思想。也許你曾聽到過它的美麗傳說，見到過它旖旎風光的拍照，看到過它富有神秘色彩的特寫鏡頭。真是“風景這邊獨好”。春天，萬木茂盛，百花盛開；夏天，泉清林翠，風景幽奇；秋天，碩果累累，層林盡染；冬天，銀裝素裹，懸冰倒掛。課文中對吳哥寺的高度評價是：“As the sun sinks lower , shadows spread across the courtyard . After sunset , the sky turns pink . The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink . Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet , beautiful place .” ( 隨著夕陽西下，院內陰影縱橫。日落后，天空一片紅霞。灰色的石塔抹上一層金黃色，然后變成粉紅色。世界上再沒有這樣優美、恬靜的地方了。) 今天，吳哥寺這座世界文物古跡，正以它獨特的魅力吸引著世界各地越來越多的游客。
雖然我們人人都走出國門去領略吳哥寺的風光不現實，但是在本單元的閱讀課中，作者用一種趣味盎然的筆調重現吳哥寺的文明和燦爛，讓我們從一滴水而感知遼闊的大海，從一只貝殼而聆聽渺遠的風聲。下面就讓我們在課文中提到的神秘的古跡中作一次精神旅行吧！

Unit 7 句型與難點釋疑
Lesson 25
1. I don‘t think these will be enough . 我認為這些還不夠。
〖釋疑〗注意陳述句以第一人稱主語 I / we + don’t think (expect , believe , guess , imagine , suppose) + that 從句時，反意疑問句與從句相一致 ， 用肯定式，因否定已前移。否則，主句是由其他人稱作主語時，仍與主句相一致。例如：
I don‘t think these will be enough , won’t they ?
We don‘t believe that she has her breakfast , does she ?
對比：we don’t believe that she has had her breakfast , has she ?
He doesn‘t suppose you are a great success , does he ?
2. What can we do to make it look less ugly ? 我們能想個什么辦法使它不那么難看呢 ？
〖釋疑〗注意使用 make sb do , make oneself done , be made to do , make sth to do
They made us work all day and all night against the flood water . = We were made to work all … .
She raised her voice to make herself heard by all of the them .
He made a box to put his shoes in .
3. As long as that ? 要那么長的時間嗎 ？= Will it take as long as that ?
〖釋疑〗as long as 長達……之久。
It took as long as eight years to repair the old temple .
It took them as long as three years to find out the cause of the plane crash .
It took this tennis player as long as four hours to win the championship .
另外注意 as long as = so long as = if “只要”引起條件狀語從句，句中用現在時代替將來時。
You can smoke as long as you are not afraid of breaking the rules .
Lesson 26
1. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard , waiting to be replaced . 院子的角落里放著一堆一堆的石頭，準備作更換之用。
〖釋疑〗句中的 waiting to be replaced 是現在分詞短語作伴隨狀語。這時可以變為并列謂語動詞的句子或者非限制性定語從句。如上面的分詞短語可換為：
Piles of stones are in a corner of the courtyard , and are waiting to be replaced .
Piles of stones are in a corner of the courtyard , which were waiting to be replaced .
Many people stood along the river bank watching the boat race . = Many people stood along the river bank and watched the boat race .
2. As the sun sinks lower , shadows spread across the courtyard . 隨著夕陽西下，院內的陰影擴展開來。
〖釋疑〗as 作連詞引導的時間狀語從句含有“當……的時候；一邊……一邊”。 when常含有“突然……”。while 常含有“對比”。
As one grows older , one becomes more experienced .
We were walking along the street when we heard “Help ! Help !”.
He was doing some reading while I was doing some washing .
3. To make things worse , many of the men have gone off to cities in search of higher pay , leaving women from nearby villages to carry on with the work . 更糟糕的是，很多男子去城里謀求較高工資的工作，因此，只有讓附近村莊里的婦女來從事這一修復工作。
〖釋疑〗to make things worse “使情況更糟糕的是”。
leaving women … 是現在分詞短語作結果狀語。
注意 leave 的復合結構有：
1）leave + 名詞 / 代詞 + to do 讓某人去干……。
Oh , you can leave me to deal with the matter .
2）leave + 名詞 / 代詞 + 形容詞作賓補
His illness has left him very weak .
3）leave + 名詞/代詞 + 過去分詞作賓補
How careless you are to leave your room unlocked .
4）leave + 名詞 / 代詞 + 現在分詞做賓補
His words left us talking all the day .
5）leave + 名詞 / 代詞 + 介詞短語作賓補
This left her without a ray of hope .
6）leave + 名詞 / 代詞 + 從句
Leave it where it is .
Leave everything as it is .
Leave the animals as they are .
4. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet , beautiful place . 世界上再沒有這樣優美、恬靜的的放了。
〖釋疑〗此句是倒裝句。正常語序是：There is nowhere else in the world as quiet and beautiful as this place . 如果 nowhere 不放在句首，句子就不倒裝。
當含有否定意義的副詞或者連詞放在句首時句子用倒裝。這類詞有：hardly , never , not , neither , not only … but also , little , nowhere , not a single , scarcely , barely , at no time , not once , in no time 立即,in no way 決不，by no means 決不， 等。
Never in my life have I seen such a stone .
Not a single mistake did he make this time .
Nowhere has the world ever seen such a bird as here .

Nowhere is there a place for him to settle down .
Nowhere can you enjoy such beautiful music .
Ltttle did he know what trouble he was going to have .
Not until quite recently did I hear from her .
Very little did they sleep last night .
對比：Her watch is nowhere to be found . = Nowhere is her watch to be found .
注意對比由 not only … but also 連接兩個并列成分作主語時，句子不倒裝。
Not only girls but also boys wear such red skirts as that .
Lesson 27
1. Thousands of stone blocks were moved and new roof sections were replaced where necessary . 移動了成千上萬的石塊，必要的地方還換上了新的屋頂。
〖釋疑〗where necessary = where it is necessary to replace them .
本句是省略句。常見的省略有：
一、主語中的省略
1. 主句中的省略多見于句首，且多用于非正式文體。如：
(It is) Too bad you can’t go camping with us next week .
(Is there) Anything more you want to say ?
2. 回答時，主句有時全省去。如：
- When shall we start ? - (You may start) Whenever you like .
- Why is he angry with her ? - (He‘s angry with her) Because she lost his keys to the office .
二、從句中的省略。
1. 賓語從句。
以 which , when , where , how , why 等引出的賓語從句中謂語與主句相同時，可省略謂語乃至主語而只保留引導詞。如：

He‘ll return to his hometown , but we don’t know when (he‘ll return ) .
She can’t attend this meeting , but we wonder why (she can‘t attend) .
2. 在 I’m afraid , I believe , I hope , I imagine , I should say , I suppose , I think 等之后的“not”與 “so”分別等于否定與肯定的賓語從句。如：
Will it snow tonight ? - I hope not . (= I hope that it won‘t snow tonight . )
Is he disappointed ? - I’m afraid so . (= I am afraid that he is disappointed . )
3. 定語從句可以省略作賓語的關系代詞；在非正式文體往往省略關系副詞 when 和where ; 關系代詞 as 引導的定語從句中，主謂結構也往往被省略。如：
I‘ll never forget the days (which) we spent together in the village .
I’ll never forget the day (when) we first met .
He gave the same reason as (he had given) before .
4 . 狀語從句。
(1) 在時間、讓步、方式、條件狀語從句中，如果從句主語是 it 或與主句主語一致時，則從句中的主語和 be 動詞通常省略。如：
My sister started to learn dance when (she was) a child .
Although (he was) the youngest in his class , he won the first prize .
His suggestion , whether (it is) right or wrong , would be considered .
I‘ll attend this lecture , if (it is) possible .
(2) 由 than , as 引導的比較狀語從句中，在不影響句子要表達的完整意義的條件下，從句中的成分可省略。如：I know you better than (I know) him .

〖賞析〗從上下文透射出文章中的兩個形成鮮明對比的人物，一個是洋洋得意的女求職者，她傲慢的形象令人作嘔。另一個是令人同情的 Mr Davis ，他很需要這份工作，但自己信心不足，位能表現出比勝的信心。1、選B。從下文那位女子在里面已有近一個小時可想 Mr David 在門外焦急等待的心情。2、選C。越是焦急，越是控制不住自己的形象。do with himself 在這里可理解為 “控制自己”。3、選C。從下文等待知已有人在他前面應試。4、選A。從該女子lookes so confident “顯得如此自信”可以說她不像Mr Davis 那樣。5、選B。feel sure that “感到一定能”為固定詞組。6、選D。來這里是為了謀到一份工作。7、選D。從下文He had thought about it such a lot before the day of the interview 可以推出他十分需要這分工作。8、選A。既然對這次應聘左思右想，自然意義重大。9、選C。從下文的該說什么，該怎么表現出非凡的形象可推知應提前反復考慮。10、選B。要想應聘成功，必須給人以稱職的印象，這就需要應試這表現出非凡的言談舉止和素養。故用perform有表現之意。11、選C。應試成功就被別人給一份工作，imagine 要求后跟動名詞，故應被給一份工作，這里用了動名詞的被動式。12、選D。從那位女子的情況導致他失去應試的決定。這自然是讓人不寒而栗的。13、選D。在關鍵時候人一緊張會產生手忙腳亂，丟三忘四的情況。14、選C。原計劃的所作所為成為泡影，plan to 計劃干……。15、選A。從get up 可看出他準備放棄應試，一走了之。16、選C。可又一想，自己為此不知花了多少時間，這樣輕而易舉的放棄不是太可惜嗎？成功與否，不試哪能知曉？17、選B。那女子自以為勝券在握，但下文讓Mr Davis 進去說明鹿死誰手，難以定論。18、選D。看著那樣一個女子是自己的對手，他當然是懷恨在心。19、選C。他的心情真是十分混亂，狠不得自己早已溜走。20、選A。緊張時人口干、腿軟、額頭冒汗，這是常識。

Radium , because of its powerful radioactive rays , can go deep into the human body . 鐳具有很強的射線，能深入到人的肌體。
Father often works keep into the night . 父親常常工作到深夜。
在某些短語中，常用副詞 deep。如：drink deep 痛飲；be buried deep 深埋deeply 常和表示感情的動詞、形容詞或過去分詞連用，相當于 very much。例如：
Marie was deeply shocked by Pierre’s death . 皮埃爾的逝世使瑪麗極為震驚。
Since then the boy has been deeply interested in physics . 從那時起，這孩子對物理學發生了極濃厚的興趣。
修飾表示具體的動作或狀態的動詞時，常用 deep，有時也可用 deeply。例如：
