What is the difference between them?

(When the Ss describe the pictures, remind the students to think about the differences in the two pictures. The students may have different opinions. Encourage them to think out reasons as many as possible. They may have a discussion.)

Suggested answers:

The rooms are big.

Every flat has a toilet and bathroom.

The roof is sloping.(why?)

…

Qs In which house would you prefer to live? Why?

S: I like living in ….because….

The students should tell others their reasons to support their choices. For example, living in the small house makes me feel warm. I like making friends with my neighbors. It looks like a big family. Encourage them to express their ideas freely.

T: Buildings in the different places are different. So what words and phrases do you think will be useful when you want to talk about art and architecture?

Show the students some different kinds of houses , ask them to describe them.

Collect their answers.( appearance: high, low, great, The palaces were large and beautiful, and they often looked like something out of a fairy tale.；materials: brick, stone, steel ,glass, wood…)

T: If you were free to design your own dream house, what would that house look like? What materials would you use? Explain why you made certain choices about your dream house?

Architect: one who designs the construction of buildings or other large structures.

Give the students enough time to discuss the question. Collect their answers.

Step 2 Speaking

3 Practice. Ask them to look at the pictures and choose the item they prefer. Try to explain the reasons.

Two tasks: One is to talk about traditional and classical furniture. And the second task is to choose a picture to decorate their room. T can start a sample dialogue like this:

T: In your dream houses, are there any chairs?

(Show some chairs) which one do you like? Why?

When they answer the question, encourage them to use expressions in the following table. A moment later, ask them to act out their own dialogue.

These buildings are given a second life,They are being reused. Today we are going to read a passage about a second life to an old factory.

Step 3 Fast reading on “ Factory 798 ”

And the same story goes with an old factory called “Factory 798”. Has anybody ever heard of that? If no, let’s open our books and read the passage on Page 23. Try to find out: “What is Factory 798? ”（ an old army factory ; an arts centre;）

Q: What was Factory 798 like?

→ huge factory halls of bricks

→ small round windows that remind you of ships

< Show the language points on the screen. >

1. pull down

2. stand

3. with… aid

4. remind … of

5. set aside

Step 6 Retelling

Read the text and try to summarize the text. That is to say, suppose you are a journalist from CCTV 9 and you’ve just paid a visit to the famous Factory 798. Please make a TV program to introduce Factory 798 to our citizens in your own words. I’ll give you three minutes to read through the text by yourselves and get prepared for the retelling.

Step 7 Discussion

In almost every city around the world, there are old buildings which are no longer used, such as schools, hospitals, factories or even churches. What do you think people should do with them? Why?

→To pull down the old buildings and set up new modern ones to keep up with the pace of the society.

→New uses should be given to old special buildings. It’s a great way to save the architecture from the past.

Step 8 Writing.

--- Since we all agree that giving the old special buildings new uses is a great way to save the architecture from the past, now it’s time for you to have a practice and show your ability. Suppose our school is moving to the new campus now and the old campus will be left empty then. You are young painters, artists, musicians, and you can rent some parts of the school building to practice. How do you want to change the school buildings? What new uses can be given to the old school buildings? Please work in groups and make a plan about it.

Step 9 Homework.

1. Finish the program about Factory 798 as a TV reporter.

2. Finish your plan about how to reuse our old school buildings.

A．ride：ride B．riding；ride C．ride；to ride D．t0 ride；riding

[解析] 分析句子結構可知，本題考查prefer to do sth．rather than do sth．的句型用法.該結構中可以將rather than do sth．提前至句首以予強調。[答案] C

(2)一Which would you prefer ，tea 0r coffee?

I'm not thirsty．Thanks anyway．

A．better；Neither B．best；Both C．more；None D．不填；Neinler

[解析]prefer的含義為like doing sth else better，釋義中已含有比較級的意味，因此在實際運用中，不再與比較或最高級連用；從答語的“不口渴”，可知，無論是茶還是咖啡，都不想品嘗，因此否定兩者用neither，而用來否定三者或以上的副詞要用none。[答案] D

2．impress壓出印記；印上；給……留下印象；強調

He impressed the pot with his seal． 他把他的印記印在罐子上.

[解析] 本題既考查了insist on與同義詞sitck to的區別，又兼顧了stick out／with的用法。insist on后一般接v一ing形式，表示“堅持做某事”，很少直接接名詞或從句。stick out意為“伸出；堅持到底(vi)”，stick with意為“和……在一起；扎／刺”，二者均不符合題意。 [答案]B

[解析] support表示“支持；闡述；贍養”，care表示“關懷；在乎”，spare表示“抽出，均出”，均不符合語境所體現的“克勞爾，讓亨利一起同你分享玩具玩”。本題考查從具體語境中選擇詞匯的用法。[答案] D

8．taste的用法

作名詞講時。有“味道；愛好；鑒賞力，品味”等意。

(3)The cook______the soup．It_______delicious．

A．tasted；tasted B．is tasted；is tasted

C．tasted；was tasted D．i8 tasted；tastes

[解析] 分析句子結構及用法可知，第一空測試taste作為實義動詞的用法，含義為“品嘗（某食物）”，是個及物動詞；第二空因為有句未形容詞delicious ，所以taste此時“搖身一變”，變成了連系動詞，表示“嘗起來”，后接形容詞作表語，無被動式。

9．convenient adj．方便。便利的

I’m willing to meet you on any day that is convenient for you．

我樂意在你方便的任何日期與你相見。

[考題9] Come over and have a chat witlI me whenever_______ ．

A．you will be convenient B．it wiU be convenient to you

C．you are convenient D．it is convenient to you

[解析] It is+adj.for sb．／sth．to do sth．為固定詞組。類似于

convenient用法的還有necessary、national、important、impossible等等，這些形容詞都是用來說明做某些事的特點，因而不可用人作主語，而應用于上述句型當中。[答案]D

A．Wooden； sales B．wood；sales C．Wood；sale D．wooden；sale

[解析]在Wood與carve之間存在動賓關系：所以形成構詞法時，用“名詞+ V．-ing'’形式，即wood carving；表示“銷售”時。作定語要用sales。[答案] B

11．表示“忍受”的三個詞(組)

它們是stand、bear與put up with。

A．build up B．1ook at C．think D．take care

[解析]依題意，可知1ook at符合題意，在句中表示“徹底檢查”之意。若選D項則加0f。若用build one's body則表示“強身健體”，也不完全符合題意。[答案] B

15．句型A is to B what C is to D的用法

這個句型是用來打比喻的，用已知來比喻未知。它的主句是作者要告訴讀者的語義重點(新信息)，而what從句只不過是讀者已知的內容(道理)而已。what在這種句型中是關系代詞，在語義上相當于that which(the thing which)。what從句在主句中起表語(主語補語)的作用，what在句中也起表語(主語補語)的作用。

The Chinese Communist Parst is to people what fish is to water．

中國共產黨對于人民就像魚對于水

[考題15] Reading is to the mind_______food is to the body．

A．what B．that C．which D．of which (大學生競賽題)

[解析] 句意為“讀書之于頭腦正如食物之于身體。”What food is to the body這個從句表達的是讀者已知、熟悉的內容，而reading is to the mind才是全句的語義重點。又如：

Furniture is to the living room what playground equipment is to the playground．

家具對于臥室就像體育設施對于操場。[答案]A

16．“充當”的三種表達

act as作“充當；起……作用”。類似用法有 work as．serve as . .

He acted as chairman in my absence．我不在時，他臨時充當主席。

He acted as secretary to the Board．他擔任董事會的秘書一職。

He will serve as mayor．他將任市長一職。

The sofa served as a bed．那張沙發作為床用。

[考題16]_____monitor of our class，little Mike decided to

_____his classmates heart and soul．

A．Serving as；serve B．Serving as；serve as

C．Serving；serve as D．Serving；serve

[解析] 本題要求區別serve與serve as的用法。前者為“為……服務”，后者為“作為…’’。從語境可知，第一空符合后者，第二空符合前者。

[答案]A

17．“不顧”的兩種表達

despite作介詞，意為“盡管(有某種情況)”。In spite of與其意義及用法完全相同，可以互換。

He came to the meeting despite his serious illness.盡管他的病很嚴重，他還是來出席會議了。

Despite advanced years-he is 1earning t0 drive．

盡管有一大把年紀了，他還是開始學起開車來。

In spite of the heavy rain．she went to school as usual．

盡管有大雨，她還像往常一樣上學。

[考題17]一You 1ook upset．Anything wrong?

一I failed in the physics exam again___all the efforts I made．

A．in spite of B．because of C．but for ．as to (2003年武漢市訓練題)

[解析] 答語前半句意為“我的物理考試又失敗了”，后半句意為

“我作了全部努力”，兩句之間存在著讓步關系，所以填表示該關系的in spite of，相當于despite。而because of所表示的含義與情理不符，but for引導虛擬語氣，也不合題意。As to表示“至于，關于”，被排除。[答案]A

18．“連接”的兩種表達

(1)join to作“把……和……連接在一起”。

He joined the two pieces of wood with nails．‘他用釘子把那兩塊木板釘起來。

The worker are joining an island to the mainland by a bridge．

工人們正在架橋把一個小島與大陸連起來。

(2)同義詞組為connect…with，強調用中間媒介或一定的手段把兩個或多個物體在某一點上連接起來，但彼此較為獨立。

Buses and trucks connect the mountain villages with the outside．

公汽與卡車把山村和外界連起來了。

[考題18] (1)A good student must_____what he reads_______what he sees around him．

A．connect；to B．join；to C．connect；with D．join；with

[解析]本題測試了“把……與……連接起來”的表達，看起來B項與C項均可，但本題并未強調外形結合及連接后的獨立性(join的用法)，而是強調“關聯；聯系”：一個善于學習的學生應該把所學的知識與所見所聞聯系起來。答案為C。

(2)Countries all over the world are______with computer．

A．joined B．connected C．taken D．related

[解析] join與relate均與介詞to連用。只有be connected with才為正確表達。表示“由……連接”。[答案] B

19．“make+賓語+賓語補足語”的用法

這個結構中的賓語補足語可以用名詞、形容詞、動詞的過去分詞、不定式、副詞等表示賓語的情況或動作。make帶不定式作賓語補足語時，要省略不定式符號，但當make用于被動語態時，不定式符號不能省略。

The Americans elected Bush their President．美國人民選布什為他們的總統。

We wi11 make our country richer and stronger．我們將會使我們的國家變得更富強。

He tried to speak clearly to make himself understood．

他盡量說得清楚些以使別人聽懂他的話。

[考題19] (1)Little Tom doesn't have to be made_____．He always works hard．

A．1earn B．to learn C．1earning D．1earned (全國高考題)

[解析] 從to be made可知，被動語態中表示動作的不定式符號要恢復。[答案] B

(2)He is made_______monitor of our class．

A．a B．the C．one D．不填

[解析]在"make+賓語+賓補”句型中，如果作賓補的名詞是表示獨一無二的職位時，該名詞前不再加任何冠詞；。否則會產生誤解與歧義。[答案] D

20．含set的詞組小結

set about開始(某工作)；著手做某事 set aside把……放在一邊，存儲

(2)It is time for supper now．Please______your books aside so that.we can use the table for supper．

A．take B bring C．set D．carry

[解析]set．．．aside表示“把……放在一邊，收起來”，符合語境“把書收起來以便吃晚飯”。[答案] c

21．過去分詞作賓語補足語的學習

(1)在某些動詞如make，have，get，find，keep，leave或某些介詞(如with)等感覺動詞等后面往往可以帶上賓語及賓語補足語(對賓語進行進一步補充、說明、修飾、限定)形式。充當賓語補足語的重要部分之一是過去分詞，用來表示該動作的被動與完成。

I found a dog killed on the road． 我發現一只狗被碾死在路上。

He left his work unfinished． 他走了，工作未完成。

Please get the report typed as soon as possible．請盡快地把報告打印出來。

③(別人)使(賓語)遭受(意外、不好的)某事

(2)Having passed all the tests，she felt a great weight____off her mind．(2002年山東濰坊題) A．taking B．taken c．take D．to be taken

[解析]從結構可知，本題測試“動詞+賓語+賓補”的用法中不同形式作賓補的區別：不定式表未來的動作， V．-ing表示正在進行的動作，過去分詞表示完成、被動的動作。從本題語境看，通過考試后，她精神上的負擔也被卸下了，因此要用過去分詞作賓語補足語。[答案]B

(3) Ihe murderer was bfought in，with his hands___ behind．

A．tied B．tying c．to tie D．being tied

(全國高考題)

[解析]從句中含有with可知，本題測試with后面的賓語補足語的形式問題。從tie與hand之間存在動賓關系可知，此處賓語補足語要用過去分詞形式。[答案]A ’

22．I must say I'd rather live in a traditional siheyuan．我想我寧愿住在傳統的四合院里。

(3)在表示“寧愿……而不愿……”時，要用would rather．．．than．．．這一結構，表示在兩者之中進行選擇。使用這一表達方式要注意用“平行結構”，即在than的前后要用兩個同類的詞或詞組，如兩個名詞，兩個動詞不定式，兩個介詞詞組等。

eg：I would rather have red apples than green ones．我寧愿要紅蘋果，而不愿意要綠的。

I would rather listen to music than go swimming．我寧愿聽音樂，而不愿去游泳。
