t20minutesinspacecraftthattravelatthespeedoflight!(P52)隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展，到2100年，坐飛船以光速旅行只需要花費大約20分鐘的時間。with表示伴隨著withthehelpof…在…的幫助下withthesupportof…在…的支持下注意with和under,through的區(qū)別through/by表“用交通工具”或表“發(fā)出某動作”；on/in表用某交通工具；with用具體的“工具、材料”或伴隨“抽象事物”；in用原料或語言；through通過具體過程，途徑，手段，中介批注：考試時一般會把with,under,by,through等表示方式的介詞放在一起判斷。7.Humancannotsurvivewithoutwater,oxygenorfood.(P52)人類沒有水、空氣或食物無法生存。本單元的語法講的是簡單句與省略句的轉(zhuǎn)換，所以此處就等于Humancannotsurviveifthereisnofood,wateroroxygen.8.ThegravityonMarsisonlyaboutthree-eighthsofthatontheEarth.(P53)火星的重力只有地球的大約八分之三。分?jǐn)?shù)的表達(dá)法分?jǐn)?shù)表達(dá)法：分子是基數(shù)詞，分母是序數(shù)詞，如果分子大于1，分母要用復(fù)數(shù)形式，在分子與分母之間可加連字符也可不加連字符。分?jǐn)?shù)+of+名詞結(jié)構(gòu)作主語時，謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)視of后面的名詞而定，如果名詞是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式；如果名詞是單數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。Onethirdofthewaterisdirty.Twothirdsoftheworkersinourfactoryareyoungpeople.批注：學(xué)生需要掌握分?jǐn)?shù)的表達(dá)以及分?jǐn)?shù)在主語中時主謂一致的判斷。9.ComparedwithlifeontheEarth,lifeonMarswouldbebetterinsomeways.(P53)與地球上的生活相比，火星上的生活在某些方面要好些。過去分詞短語comparedwithlifeontheEarth在句中作狀語。主語是life與compare之間是被動關(guān)系，所以compare需要用過去分詞；如果life與compare之間是主動關(guān)系，則compare用動名詞形式。Comparingthepricesofshoesinthreeshops,shedecidedtochoosethecheapestone.批注：此處要重點和學(xué)生強調(diào)compared和comparing的區(qū)別，可以結(jié)合下面一句話一起講解。10.Everystudentwouldhaveacomputerathomeconnectedtoaninterplanetarynetwork.(P53)每個學(xué)生家里都有一臺電腦與星際網(wǎng)絡(luò)連接。過去分詞短語connectedtoaninterplanetarynetwork在句中作定語，修飾前面的computer.connect…to…意為：把……連接在……上，……與……連在一起。此處connectedtoaninterplanetarynetwork是過去分詞短語，作后置定語修飾名詞computer。這里的名詞computer與動詞connect是動賓關(guān)系，故動詞用過去分詞形式。如果被修飾的名詞與動詞之間是主謂關(guān)系，則用該動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。TherailwayconnectingShanghaitoTianjinisunderconstructionnow.11.LifeonMarswouldbeinterestingaswellaschallenging.(P53)火星上的生活，不僅有挑戰(zhàn)性，還很有趣。aswellas不但......而且，既......又注意：這一短語在譯成中文時，應(yīng)先譯aswellas后面的內(nèi)容，再譯前面的。Heaswellashisfriendslikesgoingshopping.批注：當(dāng)aswellas與主語連用時，在意義上強調(diào)前者，謂語動詞應(yīng)與其前的主語保持一致。簡單句和復(fù)合句之間的轉(zhuǎn)換（二）1.含有狀語從句的復(fù)合句與簡單句之間的轉(zhuǎn)換在英語中，我們可以用attheageof,becauseof,without...等介詞短語，將含有狀語從句的復(fù)合句改為簡單句。Helearnttoswimwhenhewaseightyearsold.→Helearnttoswimattheageofeight.Hecouldnotgotothepartybecausehehadtoomuchhomework.→Hecouldnotgotothepartybecauseoftoomuchhomework.Hecannotsolvethisproblemifhehasnohelp.→Hecannotsolvethisproblemwithouthelp.注意：轉(zhuǎn)換時要注意時態(tài)和意思的一致性和準(zhǔn)確性。2.含有賓語從句的復(fù)合句與簡單句之間的轉(zhuǎn)換在英語中，我們可以用of...,like...等介詞短語，將含有賓語從句的復(fù)合句改為簡單句。ThephotosremindmethatItravelledtotheUKfiveyearsago→ThephotosremindmeofmytriptotheUKfiveyearsago.AreyoucertainthatTomissatisfiedwiththeplan?→AreyoucertainaboutTom’ssatisfactionwiththeplan?注意：常用的一些動詞和介詞的搭配有：remindsomebodyof...besure/certainabout...3.含有定語從句的復(fù)合句與簡單句之間的轉(zhuǎn)換在英語中，我們可以用with...,in....等介詞短語，將含有定語從句的復(fù)合句改為簡單句。Doyouknowthegirlwhoisholdingtwobooksinherhand?→Doyouknowthegirlwithtwobooksinherhand?ThemanwhowearsablueshirtisourEnglishteacher.→ThemaninablueshirtisourEnglishteacher.考點一：賓語從句的關(guān)系詞、語序、時態(tài)例1:Didyourfathertellyou______?A.whenhetravelledtoHongKong
