【指點迷津】
“打在某人某個部位”的句式
“打在某人某個部位”一般用于下列句式 ( 即整體，后部分 ) ：hit + sb . ( 整體 ) + 介詞 ( 可根據(jù)其不同的賓語而變換 ) + the + 部位。綜上所述，“英語中把接受動作的人作賓語，而用介詞短語說明接觸到的人體某一部位”。如：
( 1 ) his sb . on the shoulder / nose / head / 找在某人的肩膀上 / 鼻子上 / 頭上
pat sb . on the shoulder / head 拍某人的肩膀 / 頭
touch sb . on the shoulder / nose / head 觸摸某人的肩膀 / 鼻子 / 頭
slap sb . on the face 打了某人一耳光
注：on 表示接受的是“打、擊、拍、碰、吻”等觸及動作，其中有的動作比較猛烈。
He hit the boy on the nose . 他擊中了那個男孩的鼻子。
( 2 ) hit / strike sb . in the face / chest / side 打在某人的臉上 / 胸部 / 腰部
注：in 表示接受的是“打、摑、直視”等非溫和性的動作，一般說來，這些動作比 on 所表示的程度更強烈此。例如：
He looked me in the eye , and asked …
The bullet wounded him in the shoulder .
take / catch / seize sb . by the hand / arm / sleeve 抓住某人的手 / 胳臂 / 袖子
注：by 表示接受的是“拉、抓、握、捏、領(lǐng)”等非猛列性的動作，它一般是用來指手的動作。如：
He looked me in the eye , and asked . . .
The bullet wounded him in the shoulder .
( 3 ) take / catch / seize sb . by the hand / arm / sleeve 抓住某人的手 / 胳臂 / 袖子
pull sb . by the hand / arm / sleeve 拉住某人的手 / 胳臂 / 袖子
注：by 表示接受的是“拉、抓、握、捏、領(lǐng)”等非猛烈性的動作，它一般是用來指手的動作。如：
I took him by the arm .
He pulled me by the leg .
如果主語和賓語是同一個人，則一般不同這種特殊的表達方式。如：
He patted his own head with his hand .

【學法指要】
單元重點詞匯點撥
1 . divide 分開；被分開
This river divides ( separates ) our village into two parts .
The teacher divided ( separated ) the clever pupils from the stupid pupils .
〖點撥〗divide … into = separate … into 把……分成……be divide into = be separated into 被分成 divide A from B = separate A from B 把 A 與 B 分開
separate 與 divide 的區(qū)別
separate ( 分開，隔開 ) ，側(cè)重表示把原來在一起或靠近的事物分隔開來，分開后的部分具有相對的獨立性。如：
The teacher separated the boys from girls .
The children are separating the good apples from the bad ones .
divide ( 劃開，分開 ) ，指把某一整體按一定大小、比例分成若干部分，還有“自然劃分”之意。如：
He divided the apple into four parts .

〖點撥〗shoot 與 shoot at
shoot 作及物動詞時，意思是“射中” ( 用槍 ) 打死或打傷。shoot at 是以某人或某物為目標進行射擊，不一定擊中。
He shot at a bird , but didn't shoot it . 他朝一只鳥射擊，但并未命中。
3 . puzzled 邊惑的；困惑的
There was a puzzled expression on his face . 他的臉上露出迷惑不解的表情。

Eleven players make up a football team .
A football team is made up of eleven players .
5 . be famous for - 因…而聞名
France is famous for its food and wine .
He is famous for learning .
辨析：famous 與 well - known 同義，不過 famous 詞義強，出名的地區(qū)較大，時間較大，而且多用于好的意思；well - known 既可用于好的意思，也可用于壞的意思。如：
6 . be about to - 即將，正要

A newspaper keeps one in touch with the world .
注意：這個詞組的反義是 be out of touch with , 和 lose touch with .
I don't want to lose touch with you .
有關(guān) touch 的短語：bring sb . into touch with…使某人與……接觸 / get in ( into ) touch with…與……取得聯(lián)系
12 . lead / live a…life - 過著……的生活 ( 日子 )

單元難點疑點思路明析
1 . The larger of the two islands is Britain , which lies to the east of Ireland . 較大的那個島是不列顛，它在愛爾蘭東面。
①這是一個非限制性定語從句，which lies to the east of Ireland 是修飾 Britain . 在書面語中，非限制性定語從句前常用逗號與主句分開。又如：
I gave him some bread , which he didn't eat at all .
He has to work on Sundays , which he doesn't like .
②The larger of two islands , 表示兩者 ( 人 / 物 ) 之間“較 ( 大、小、高、矮等 ) 的一個”，用“the + 形容詞比較級 + of + 名詞”表示。如：
He is the older of the twins .
Tom is the younger of the two boys .
This is the more expensive of the two cameras .
Which is the more interesting of the two TV plays ?
③“the + 形容詞最高級 + of + 名詞”，指“三者以上最 ( 大、小、高、矮等 ) 的一個”。如：
She is the eldest of the three ( sisters ) .
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year .
She has got the most stamps of all the girls here .
2 . Many of the coal mines are about to be closed . 煤礦中的許多處即將被關(guān)閉。
①“be about to do”意思是“馬上就要做”表示即將發(fā)生的行為，不能和時間狀語連用。
Don't go out now - we're about to have lunch .
They are about to start . = They are just going to start .
②加上副詞 just，使將來更有即時感。如：
Let's take our seats . The meeting is just about to begin .
③同樣可用于過去時：
I was about to go to bed when here was a knock at the door .
④“be going to do”表示按計劃安排準備做的事，或即將發(fā)生的事。其時間性沒有 be about to 那樣緊迫，另外，be going to do 可與時間狀語連用。例如：
We're going to put up a building here .
Many of the coal mines are about to be closed next month . ( 錯 )
Many of the coal nines are going to be closed next month . ( 對 )
煤礦中的許多處將在下月關(guān)閉。
3 . The southern part of the island is a separate country , called the Republic of Ireland with Dublin as its capital . 該島南部則是另外一個國家，叫做愛爾蘭共和國，首者是都柏林。
①called the Republic of Ireland 是一個過去分詞短語，在句中作定語。如：
He was reading a book called“My Home Town . ”
To the west of Britain lies a large island , called Ireland .
②句中 with Dublin as its capital，是由“介詞 with + 名詞 + 介詞短語”構(gòu)成的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，相當于一個定語從句。修飾前面的 the Republic of Ireland . 又如：
The woman with a baby in her arms is Wei Fang's sister .
A boy , with a football under his arm , rushed into the classroom .
In the middle of China lies Hubei province , with its capital on the Yangtze River . 但是，with 的這種復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)更多的是作方式狀語，表示伴隨的動作或狀態(tài)。
4 . Around 1850 , a terrible disease hit the potato crop , and potatoes went bad in the soil . 大約在1850年，土豆作物發(fā)生了一場可怕的病害，土豆全都爛在地里了。
①在表示“大約”什么時間時，around 和 about，或 round 的用法相同，可以互相替換。
②go 在句中用作連系動詞。go bad 是“變壞”之意。
③hit 在句中表示“襲擊，打擊，使得某種事物受到損害或影響”。又如：
Last night a storm hit the city .
In 1978 , Iran was hit be a strong earthquake .
They were hard his by their failure .
The strike hit his business hard .
【妙文賞析】
Simple Things 平常小事
I'm thankful for the simple things 感謝生活中平常的小事
in life that mean so much 它于我意味著太多太多
Like a small hand slipping into mine ; 如那纖纖素手悄悄握著我的手
Or a kitten's friendly touch… 如那小貓友好地觸摸……
Like the sound of raindrops falling 如那深夜的雨滴
on my roof at 2 A . M ; 在屋頂上淅淅瀝瀝；
Or the song a bird is singing ; 如棲息在古老橡樹枝頭的小鳥
perched upon an old oak limb… 婉轉(zhuǎn)鳴唱的一支歌……
Simple things like fragrant flowers 如那芬芳的花朵
blooming just outside my door ; 在我門前的燦燦開放；
Or the smell of clean , fresh pine scent 如母親廚房的地板
Coming from Mom's kitchen floor… 散發(fā)出的清新的松木香……
Like the taste of home - fried chicken 如祖母常做的炸雞
like my grandma used to make ; 香香的令人回味；
Or the colors in a rainbow 如那催開睡眼的咖啡
Lord , there's beauty in it all . 濃濃的溢滿茶杯……
Simple things like seasons changing 平常小常如季節(jié)的更替
winter , spring , then summer and fall ; 冬去春來夏逝秋蒞
Or the colors in a rainbow 又如那絢麗彩虹
Lord , there's beauty in it all . 啊呀 ! 那是多么的美麗。
May I never take for granted 但愿我永不會把生活中的“平常小事”
all of life's “simplicities” ; 都理所當然地看作“平�！�；
For they're gifts you chose to give me 它們都是您精選給我的禮物，
to fill all my memories . 它們充滿著我記憶的櫥窗。
〖賞析〗熱愛生活，你會從平常中觸摸到美麗；你會從細微中體會出偉大；你會從平凡中品味出永恒。有人說太陽每天都是新，你會說平常的小事不平常。
詩中反復(fù)吟唱的平常小事，是一首吉他的樂曲，或是一段二胡的樂曲，在你的心中緩緩奏起，引起共鳴。

The United Kingdom is that(5)of the British Isles ruled over by the (6).It is made up of Scotland,Wales and England ,that is ,the (7)of Britain,and also about one-sixth of Ireland,the Northern part.The (8)of Ireland is self-governing.The(9)name of the United Kingdom is (10)“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”
(11)is larger and richer than Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland,and has the most (12)of the United Kingdom,so people often use the (13)“English”when they(14)“Britain”and“British”.This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little (15).The Scots in particular are very(16)of their separate nationality: they have their own legal(法律的)system, and (17)of their internal affairs(內(nèi)部事務(wù))are (18)by special Scottish department.

In order to deal(對付)with one of the most pressing problems-congested traffic,the British city of Leeds is advising its citizens to share cars in rush hours.
As peak hour traffic floods into the city,many cars just contain the driver.Surveys show that there are more than four thousand empty seats in these cars each morning,which the city council(議會)want filling.So from now on, priority(好處)will be given to those envirommentally-conscious (有環(huán)境意識的) drivers who have taken at least one other person with them into work.One lane will be designated only for those vehicles(車輛)with two or more people;the other slower lane for the single ocupant(占有者).
6.According to this report which way do you think is the best to solve(解決)the congested traffic?The best way is .
A.not to allow cars, uses into the city

What's the difference between the British Isles(不列顛群島),Britain,the United Kingdom and England?
The British Isles is made up of two large islands:One is called Ireland and the other Britain.Britain,or Great Britain,is the larger of these two islands,and it is divided into three parts:Scotland,Wales and England.
The United Kingdom(U.K.)is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.It is made up of Scotland,Wales,and England (i.e.the whole of Britain),and also about one-sixth of Ireland,the Northern part.The rest of Ireland is selfgoverning(自治的)。
England is the largest,most populous (人口眾多的),and generally speaking,the richest section(=part).English people often use the words“England”and “English”when they mean“Britain”and “British”.This sometimes make the Scots and the Welsh angry.The Scots are very proud of (以……為驕傲) their separate nationality.The Welsh too do not consider themselves as English ,and have a culture and even a language of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801,but is soon grew discontented(不滿的),and for forty years the “Irish Question”was the greatest headach of British Parliament(國會).At last,Ireland divided itself into two:Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠誠于)to the Grown (英國王室),and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form an Irish Free State,now the Republic of Ireland.

At first,I gave him a ten-yuan note.But the money did not satisfy him.Instead,he raised his fist,threatening to beat me.This time I had to bring out more money--a 100-yuan note.But again he was not satisfied.He drew a knife upon me .Iwas forced to search all of my pockets,but now I had none left.
I had no choice but to raise my two fists to fight back.On seeing this ,the robber was so frightened that he dropped his knife and ran away as fast as he could.
It has given me a good lesson that if we each dare to fight back,such things will be avoided.
