(to) do结构，help的常见搭配还有：help (sb.) with sth.帮助(某人)做某事help (to) do帮助做，有助于……can't help doing sth.禁不住做某事can't help but do不得不做help oneself. to sth.随意取用(食物)(2)make herself smarter是“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，现将make的用法归纳如下：①make＋宾语＋形容词His gift makes her very happy.他的礼物让她很高兴。②make＋宾语＋名词He has made it a rule to get up early.他把早起当做一个习惯。③make＋宾语＋省略to的不定式(变被动时须加to)She made her children wash their hands.她让她的孩子们洗手。④make＋宾语＋过去分词His actions made him universally respected.他的行为赢得了所有人的尊敬。⑤make＋宾语＋介词短语Sit down and make yourself at home.请坐吧，就像在自己家一样。7．She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand.(P11)她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手。句中的and连接两个并列谓语动词looked at和 with wonder作状语修饰第一个谓语动词；as在句中引导时间状语从句。8．Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a “dear”．(P11)克莱尔向托尼表示感谢，并称他为“亲爱的”。句中的telling him that
he was a “dear”作状语，表伴随。v.－ing短语用作状语应注意以下情况：(1)v.－ing短语的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语保持一致。Being short, he is not good at basketball.他很矮，不擅长打篮球。(being short的逻辑主语是he，与主句的主语保持一致)(2)v.－ing短语动作与主句谓语的动作同时发生，用v.－ing形式；若先于主句谓语动作，则用having done形式。She sits at the table, writing a letter.她坐在桌子旁边写信。Having walked five hours, they took a rest.他们走了5小时的路之后，休息了一会儿。(3)v.－ing短语用作原因状语，相当于一个原因状语从句。(4)v.－ing短语用作时间状语，相当于一个时间状语从句。(5)v.－ing短语用作条件状语或让步状语时，相当于一个条件状语从句或让步状语从句。(6)v.－ing短语用作状语表示伴随的情况，相当于一个并列句。(7)当v.－ing短语的动作与谓语的紧接着发生或同时发生，为了加强语气，v－ing短语前加when或while。Don't talk while eating.吃饭的时候别说话。Take care when crossing the street.过马路要小心。9．As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern.(P11)她一转身，发现格拉迪斯·克拉芬站在那里。这是一个完全倒装句，其结构“状语＋谓语＋主语”这种完全倒装句可以使句子平衡，前后联系比较紧密，而且也给状语部分比较突出的地位。Outside the bank was a long queue of people to wait for the door to open.银行外面站着一长队人，等着开门。这种完全倒装可以用于下列四个方面：(1)当句首为there, here, now, then等副词且谓语动词为be, come, go等时，句子通常用全部倒装语序。Now comes your turn.现在轮到你了。(2)突出状语或表语以示强调。So strange was his manner that everyone stared at him.他的行为如此怪异，以至于每个人都盯着他看。(3)使句子整体平衡。有短语或从句修饰的主语太长，谓语部分太短，如不使用倒装，会给人一种头重脚轻的感觉；而使主谓发生完全倒装，才能使句子整体平衡。Great was the delight of the students.学生们欢天喜地。(4)使本句和前面的句子联系得紧密。I reached a big tree soon, and under the big tree lay an old man.我很快就到了一棵大树下，而那棵大树下躺着一位老人家。10．She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time.(P11)她从梯子上摔下来，虽然托尼在隔壁房间里，他还是设法及时地接住了她。这是一个由and连接的并列句，第一个并列分句是She fell off a ladder；第二个并列分句he managed to catch her in time，让步状语从句even though Tony was in the next room。11．The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room.(P11)客人马上就要到了，克莱尔叫托尼到另一间房里去。would be arriving是过去将来进行时。(1)将来进行时的结构为：shall/will＋be＋v－ing；否定形式为：shall/will (not)＋be＋v－ing；疑问形式为：Shall/Will＋主＋be＋v－ing(2)将来进行时主要有以下两个用法：①将来某时候正在进行的动作。What will you be doing this time tomorrow?明天这个时候你将做什么？②计划、安排即将发生或势必发生的动作。在这里，将来进行时与一般将来时很接近，但是前者强调动作“按计划、安排要发生；间或也表示委婉的请求”，而后者只表示“动作会在将来的时间里发生”。We shall be meeting at the school gate.我们在校门口见面。Will you be attending the party?你明天参加那个聚会吗？(语气较委婉)If you don't do so, you will be facing great difficulties.你如果不那样做就会面临很大的困难。12．She cried out “Tony” and then heard him declare that he didn't want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her.(P11)她大叫一声“托尼”，然后听到托尼一本正经地说，第二天他不想离开她，而且他并不仅仅满足于使她开心。(1)主句的主语是she，其后有两个并列谓语，cried out和heard。declare...是省去了to的不定式形式，作宾语补足语。declare后面有两个宾语从句。(2)句中more than意为“不仅仅”。其用法归纳如下：①表示“多余，超过”相当于over。More than 100 people attended the meeting.100多人参加了这个会议。②more A than B“与其说B不如说A”，突出强调前者。He is more a scholar than a teacher.与其说他是个教师，不如说他是个学者。③more...than“比……更”，常和两个音节以上的形容词或副词构成比较级。The work is progressing more rapidly than it was expected.工作的进展比预料的更快。④no more...than...意为“……和……一样不(两者都否定)”。Jack is no more diligent than John.杰克和约翰一样不勤奋。13．It was then that Cliare realized that Tony had opened the curtains on the front window.(P12)就在那时克莱尔意识到托尼已经把前面窗子的窗帘拉开了。这是一个强调句型，其句型结构为“It is/was＋被强调部分＋that/who...”。它可以用来强调句中的主语、宾语、状语等。It is the protection for the trees that really matters, rather than how many trees are planted.关键是/重要的是对树的保护，而不是种了多少棵树。(强调主语)It was TV plays that I was really interested in.我真正感兴趣的是电视剧。(强调宾语)It was not until he told me the news that I knew it.直到他告诉我，我才知道这个消息。(强调时间状语)It was because of bad weather that the football match must be put off.是因为坏的天气，足球赛必须被推迟。(强调的是原因状语)—Where was it that you picked up the wallet?你是在哪里拣的钱包？—Just near the school
gate.就是在学校门口。(强调地点状语)注意：强调句型中，除谓语动词外，其余部分均可被强调。强调句中的it不能更换；It is/was与“其他部分”时态一致。is/was的数不受被强调部分单复数的影响；被强调部分是人可用that或who，其他情况一律用that；强调主语时who或that之后的谓语动词在人称和数上与该主语保持一致。14．Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony.(P12)就在她们离去之前，克莱尔听到格拉迪斯跟另外一个女人轻声地说，她从来没有见过像托尼这样英俊的男人。before引导一个时间状语从句。主句是Claire heard...，现在分词短语whispering...作宾补，that引导宾语从句。15．But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have
to be rebuilt—you cannot have women falling in love with machines.(P12)尽管托尼很聪明，但还得对他一番改造——总不能让女人与机器相爱吧。(1)主句是he would have to be rebuilt, even though引导让步状语从句。破折号在此起补充说明的作用。(2)have sb. doing sth.表示“让某人做某事”。have是使役动词，意为“让，使”。现在分词作宾补，与宾语形成逻辑上的主谓关系。The two men had their lights burning all night long.那两个人让灯通宵亮着。They tried to have her talking. But no use.他们想让她说话。但没用。拓展：(1)have sth. done意为“请人做某事”或“遭遇某种(不幸的)事情”。I had my watch repaired in the street yesterday.我昨天在街上修了我的手表。(2)can't/won't＋have sth. done，且主语为第一人称时，意为“不容许，不许可”。I won't have my house turned into hotel.我决不允许把我的房子变成旅馆。(3)have sb. do sth.意为“让某人做某事”。My mother had me post the letter at once.我妈妈要我立即将信寄出去。注意：have作“有”讲时其宾语后可接带to的不定式作定语。I have a composition to write, so I can't go swimming.我有一篇作文要写，因此我不能去游泳。课后双基训练(学生用书P27)Ⅰ.单词拼写1．The premier is busy dealing with important __________(事务) of state.答案：affairs2．Before answering the questions, you'd better ________(浏览) all of them.答案：scan3．To everyone's s____________ , the girl finished the job well.答案：satisfaction4．We were much a____________ by a fire in the neighbourhood last night.答案：alarmed5．The musician is a____________(伴奏) the singer on the guitar.答案：accompanying6．It seems quite ____________(荒唐的) to expect anyone to drive for 3 hours just for a 20－minute meeting.答案：absurd7．Her t____________ for music are well－known in our school.答案：talents8．Would you please do me a f____________ to push the car to start?答案：favour9．She d____________(宣布)

Today, however, science stories are fast becoming facts. Robots are starting to make this present in our everyday lives.These robots come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. They all have the same type of man－made “brain”. Leading the robot revolution are industrial robots that work in factories. Industrial robots perform different kinds of jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly as they are entering factories. These robots are not as friendly and bright as those you saw in Star Wars.But, their makers say, today's home robots walk, sense objects in their way (and sometimes knock into them), and even carry objects (which they sometimes drop). Well, nobody's perfect.We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they may see and hear better than humans do. We humans can only see certain wavelengths of light, and hear certain sounds.That's because the abilities of our eyes are limited. Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have. Robots may also be equipped with devices that pick up information human can't. To understand what their sensing devices pick up is a hard job. Remember, man－made brains handle information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones. Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like “using only zeros and ones”．1. From the passage,
we can see that factory robots ________.A. help to improve other types of robotsB. are most active in industrial revolutionC. are playing a more important role than other types of robotsD. are the tallest type among robots答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据文章的第二段的第三句话“Leading the robot revolution are industrial robots that work in factories.”得出。2．Robots may deal with information that humans can't.Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons?A．They don't have so many limits as human do.B. They have man－made brains.C. They may be equipped with a special kind of sensing device.D. They handle information by using zeros and ones.答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句话Robots, however, need not have the same limits as we have.知选项A是正确的；根据第四段的第五句话Remember, man－made brains handle information...知选项B是正确的；根据第四段的第四句话To understand what their sensing devices pick up is a hard job.知选项C是正确的；根据第四段的最后一句话“Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like using ‘only zeros and ones’．”知选项D是错误的。3．According to the passage, present home robots are ________.A. better than humans in seeing and hearingB. are as capable as those in Star WarsC. can pick up objects more quickly than humansD. sometimes perform wrong actions答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句话中and sometimes knock into them, which they sometimes drop以及nobody's perfect.可知机器人有时也会做出一些错误的动作来。BThe days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society—a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didn't do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that.” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7－year－old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism (女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable. In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins：‘When I am an old woman，I shall wear purple or with a red hat which doesn't go, ’”said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else，” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We're a ladies' play group. It couldn't be more simple.” added Cooper's assistant Joe Heywood.4．The underlined word “chapter” in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. one branch of an organizationB. a written agreement of a clubC. one part of a collection of poemsD. a period in a society's history答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。根据上下文，chapter在文中的意思是“(俱乐部、协会等的)分支，分会”。从后文的“Red Hat Society”可作出推测。5. From the text, we know that the “baby boomers”
are a group of people who ________.A. have gradually become more noticeableB. are worried about getting old too quicklyC. are enjoying a good life with plenty of money
to spendD. tried living a different life from their parents
when they were young答案与解析：D　细节理解题。从第三段“...the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.”可以看出，她们不愿像她们的前辈那样度过晚年，而且现在正在用一种新的方式步入老年。6．It could be inferred from the text that members of
the Red Hat Society are ________.A. interested in raising money for social workB. programmers who can plan well for their futureC. believers in equality between men and womenD. good at cooking big meals and
of others答案与解析：C　推理判断题。从第四段“If you take into consideration feminism，...”可以看出，the Red Hat Society的成员都是女权主义者。7. Women
because ________.A. they want to stay youngB. they would like to appear more attractiveC. they would like to have fun and live for themselvesD. they want to be more like their parents答案与解析：C　推理判断题。从最后一段第一句话及“We're a
ladies' play group.”可以看出。
