Notes:
1.教材：They're said to be very good．
考題1：I don't know the restaurant，but it's__________ to be quite a good one．（NMET’94）鶤．said鶥．told鶦．spoken鶧．talked
簡(jiǎn)析：本題考查“sb．／sth．＋be＋said（reported，heard等）＋to be．．．”句型， spoken，talked為不及物動(dòng)詞，不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，told不能用于這一句型，答案為A。類似的說(shuō)法還有：It is said that the restaurant is quite a good one．
考題2：Robert is said __________ abroad, but I don't know what country he studiedin．（NMET’99）
A．to have studied鶥．to study鶦．to be studying鶧．to have been studying
簡(jiǎn)析：本題考查的是不定式的時(shí)與體。 根據(jù)句意，study的動(dòng)作在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞is said之前發(fā)生，故答案為A。
“據(jù)說(shuō)”常用兩種句型:
1）It is said that．．．／People say that．．．
2）Sb./Sth. is said to be／to do（表示現(xiàn)在的狀況或?qū)⒁l(fā)生的動(dòng)作）
Sb./Sth.is said to be doing（表示正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作）
Sb. /Sth. is said to have（been）done（表示已發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)）
Sb./Sth.is said to have been doing（動(dòng)作從過(guò)去開(kāi)始一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在且正在進(jìn)行）
演練：請(qǐng)用括號(hào)內(nèi)動(dòng)詞的適當(dāng)形式填空。
1)．He is said __________（set）off for the USA tomorrow．鶱o，he is said __________（go）there yesterday．

2. I want to have a look at what‘s on this weekend. 我想看看本周周末上演的什么。
句中的What’s on this weekend是名詞性從句，在句中作短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞look at的賓語(yǔ)。
what‘s on…？是一個(gè)固定的表達(dá)方式，后跟時(shí)間或地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，表示“……（時(shí)間/地點(diǎn)）上演什么？”on在此是作為副詞用的，應(yīng)重讀。on是一個(gè)十分活躍的詞，作為介詞用時(shí)，它也可以表示類似的形容詞所表示的意思，表示“在……進(jìn)行之中”例如：
What’s on at the New Star Cinema tonight? 今晚新星電影院上演什么？
Is there a new film on lately? 最近上演什么新電影了嗎？
My parents are on their holidays. 我父母親正在度假。
They are on a friendly visit to our country. 他們正在對(duì)我國(guó)進(jìn)行友好訪問(wèn)。
2. Is there anything good on? 有什么好節(jié)目在上演嗎？
句中的good是不定代詞anything的定語(yǔ)。當(dāng)形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾象something, anything, nothing這類不定代詞時(shí)，要把形容詞放在這類不定代詞之后。例如：
There is nothing important in today‘s newspaper. 今天報(bào)上沒(méi)有什么重要消息。
Do you have anything interesting to tell us?你有什么有趣的事要告訴我的嗎？

In a word newspapers are very important to everyone.鶷here are various kinds of newspapers, such as "The People's Daily" "The Chinese Youth Daily'' "English Weekly" "English Coaching Paper" and so on.

Notes:
1.As soon as the reporters know what to write about，they get down to work．
【問(wèn)】短語(yǔ)get down to work如何翻譯？ to是介詞還是不定式？
【答】get down to work意思是“開(kāi)始認(rèn)真工作”。其中g(shù)et down to的意思為to begin to give serious attention to sth．or doing sth．。這里的to是介詞，后跟名詞、代詞或動(dòng)名詞。例如：鶼ou must get down to your studies now．你現(xiàn)在必須開(kāi)始認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)了。
Don't you think it's time we got down to business？你不認(rèn)為是開(kāi)始做正事的時(shí)間了嗎？
While the weather was fine, my father got down to repairing the house. 趁著天氣好，我父親開(kāi)始修理房屋了。
2．．．．so editors must check that there is enough space for the headlines they have written．因此，編輯必須檢查是否有足夠的篇幅來(lái)容納他們所寫(xiě)的標(biāo)題。
【問(wèn)】check that．．．后面的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)如何處理？此處that是否可換用連接詞if或whether？
【答】在英語(yǔ)中沒(méi)有“檢查是否有”，而是“檢查要有”，所以check后面從句要用that引導(dǎo)，不可用if或whether，但可以說(shuō)check to see if／whether．．．。當(dāng)然，也可以說(shuō)check to see that．．．。如：
Every week I check that each student has worked on his book．每周我都檢查每個(gè)學(xué)生是否已學(xué)習(xí)他的功課了。
I must check to see if he has done some telephone interviews．我得檢查一下他是否進(jìn)行電話采訪了。（＝I must check that／check to see that he has done some telephone interviews．）
I'd like to check that his explanation is correct．我想弄清楚他的解釋是否正確。（＝I'd like to check to see if his explanation is correct．）
3．In this situation，everyone has to move fast．Journalists have to stop working on one story and start working immediately on the important new one．
【問(wèn)】這句話中的the important new one指的是什么？
【答】the important new one中的one是替代詞，替代上文中的story。在英語(yǔ)中為了避免上下文重復(fù)，通常用 one來(lái)替代上文中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的某一個(gè)單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。one的復(fù)數(shù)形式是ones，常用來(lái)替代上文中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的某一個(gè)復(fù)數(shù)名詞。one和ones前一般都有限定詞或形容詞修飾，后面也可跟修飾詞或從句。例如：
-Is the black pen yours？這支黑色鋼筆是你的嗎？-No，mine is the red one．不，這支紅色的是我的。鶬 prefer a small house in a small town to one in a big city．我寧愿住在小城市的一座小房子里也不喜歡住在大城市的一座房子里。在使用替代詞one和ones時(shí)要注意以下幾點(diǎn)：①one前面可以加this，that修飾，構(gòu)成 this／that one，但ones前必須帶有另外的修飾詞。例如：鶷his book is easy，but that one is very difficult．這本書(shū)容易，但那本卻非常難。鶷hese thin books are easy，but those thick ones are rather difficult．這些薄的書(shū)容易讀，而那些厚的書(shū)卻相當(dāng)難。②one和ones前面不能直接加物主代詞。例如，我們不能說(shuō)my one或your one，此時(shí)要用mine或yours，但是one和ones前面帶有修飾語(yǔ)時(shí)，就可以加上物主代詞。例如：鶬 have bought a new bike．My old one doesn't work．我買了輛新自行車，我的舊自行車不能用了。鶷hey bought new dictionaries because their old ones are of no help．他們買了新詞典，因?yàn)榕f的已經(jīng)不起作用了。③物主代詞后面跟own時(shí)，不能接one或ones。如不能說(shuō)my own one，只能說(shuō)my own。例如：鶬'm not used to your dictionary．I'd rather use my own．我不習(xí)慣用你的字典，我寧可用自己的。④在形容詞最高級(jí)后面，one或ones常被省略。例如：鶷his film is the best（one）I've ever seen．這部電影是我看過(guò)的最好的。
4．reporter; journalist
reporter＝news reporter“新聞?dòng)浾摺�，特指外出采訪的記者。journalist“記者”泛指新聞工作者，如報(bào)紙的編輯、采訪記者、攝影記者都可以叫journalist。
5．cover; interview
兩者都可用作動(dòng)詞，意為“采訪”，cover的賓語(yǔ)是事情；interview的賓語(yǔ)是人。如：鶵eporters are then sent to cover the events．然后記者們就被派去采訪這些事件。鶫e interviewed five people in the morning．他上午采訪了五個(gè)人。
6．late; lately; later; latest
late可作形容詞或副詞，意為“遲（的）；晚（的）”。如：鶫e often comes late for school．他上學(xué)常遲到。鶷hey were late for the film．他們看電影遲到了。
lately是副詞，意為“最近；近來(lái)”相當(dāng)于recently，常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用。如：鶬 haven’t heard from him lately．我最近沒(méi)收到他的來(lái)信。
later為late的比較級(jí)，意為“較遲的（地）”。另外，還可用作副詞，意為“后來(lái)”。如：鶫e goes home later than anybody．他回家比誰(shuí)都晚。鶶ee you later．回頭見(jiàn)。
latest為late的最高級(jí)，意為“最遲的（地）”；也相當(dāng)于newest，意為“最新的”。如：鶬 go to bed latest in the family．我是家里睡覺(jué)最遲的。鶫ere is the latest news from a broad．下面是來(lái)自國(guó)外的最新消息
7.cover:
They sent the best reporters to cover the conference.他們派出了最好的記者去報(bào)道大會(huì)的消息。
Cover the table with a cloth. 在桌子上鋪上臺(tái)布。
By sunset we had covered thirty miles. 到日落的時(shí)候，我們已經(jīng)走了三十英里。
His research covers a wide field. 他的研究工作涉及的范圍很廣。
Is that word covered in the dictionary? 這部詞典里有那個(gè)詞嗎？
8．They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them．他們給一些人打電話，約定時(shí)間對(duì)他們進(jìn)行面對(duì)面的采訪。
a.【問(wèn)】face-to-face能否換成face to face？它們有什么區(qū)別嗎？
【答】在本句中，它們不能換用。face to face通常只修飾動(dòng)詞，用作狀語(yǔ)。而face-to-face（中間有連字符號(hào)）解釋為“面對(duì)面”，通常用作定語(yǔ)。如：
She stood face to face with me on the other side of the room.
她在房間的另一頭與我面對(duì)面站著。
The reporter asked for a face-to-face interview with the president．這位記者要求當(dāng)面采訪總統(tǒng)。（本句的 face-to-face作定語(yǔ)，不可換成 face to face）.
除了這一詞組外，類似還有一些，如：heart to hear心連心，貼心的，hand in hand手拉手，arm in arm臂挽臂, shoulder to shoulder肩并肩。
b.句中的fix是動(dòng)詞，作“確定”，“約定”解。fix a time for…是“約定時(shí)間干某事”的意思。例如：
Have you fixed a date for the wedding?
你們舉行婚禮的日子確定了嗎？
My watch has stopped.It needs fixing.
我的表停了，需要修理。
Her eyes were fixed on the gun. （fix one’s eyes on）她緊盯那只槍。
He is fixing his thought on what he is doing.他正在全神貫注地工作。
He had a shelf fixed to the wall. 他找人把架子安在了墻上。

【問(wèn)】check that．．．后面的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)如何處理？此處that是否可換用連接詞if或whether？
【答】在英語(yǔ)中沒(méi)有“檢查是否有”，而是“檢查要有”，所以check后面從句要用that引導(dǎo)，不可用if或whether，但可以說(shuō)check to see if／whether．．．。當(dāng)然，也可以說(shuō)check to see that．．．。如：
Every week I check that each student has worked on his book．每周我都檢查每個(gè)學(xué)生是否已學(xué)習(xí)他的功課了。
