二.语法回顾
宾语从句(一)
宾语是句子的一个重要成分,它可以由名词、代词、名词短语或句子充当。当一个句子充当宾语时,这个句子就称为宾语从句。宾语从句与主句之间由从属连词来连接。
学习宾语从句,要注意三个方面,即引导词、语序和时态。
1.由连词that引导的宾语从句
that在从句中不充当任何成分,只起连接作用,口语中常省略。eg:
I think (that) he'll be all right in a few days. 我想他几天后就会好了。
I'm afraid (that) you are wrong. 恐怕你错了。
I don't think (that) you are right. 我认为你不对。
2.宾语从句的时态
(1)主句使用现在时态,从句允许使用任何时态,从句时态可与主句一致,也可由从句中的时间状语自行决定。eg:
I think you are right. 我想你是对的。 (从句用现在时与主句一致,同指现在)
I'm sure that he is telling the truth.我确信他说的是真话。(从句与主句行为同时发生,用现在进行时)
(2)主句使用过去时,从句需使用过去时态的某种形式。eg:
I didn't think he was wrong yesterday.我认为他昨天没有错。(从句有yesterday,用一般过去时)
(3)如果宾语从句陈述的是客观真理、事实、自然状况等,其时态不受上述限制,用一般现在时态。eg:
The teacher told me (that) the earth is round. 老师告诉我地球是圆的。

四.重难点突破
1. I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre. 我几乎不能相信我们位于市中心。
hardly是否定词,意思是“几乎不”,一般与情态动词can / could连用。例如:
You can hardly e a person spit in a public place. 在公共场所你几乎看不到一个人随地吐痰。
辨析:
hard 用作副词,意思是“努力地,猛烈地”。例如:
They study English very hard. 他们学习英语很刻苦。
2. This park is famous for its lake, the bridge and the ancient buildings on the hill.
公园因湖,桥和山上的古代建筑而著名。
be famous for 因……而著名
e.g: China is famous for the Great Wall. 中国以长城而闻名。
3. I don’ t think they allow people to swim in the lake. 我认为他们不允许人们在湖里游泳。
(1)当主句谓语动词是think, believe, feel, guess, expect, suppo等表示“观点、信念、推测、臆测”等心理活动时,常常使用否定前置结构(即把宾语从句中的否定词not转移到主句中的表达方式)。例如:
I don’ t believe he will come. 我相信他不会来。
(2)allow作“允许”或“许可”讲,其常用搭配:
allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”;
allow doing sth.“允许做某事”。例如:
Plea allow me to carry your bag. 请让我替你拿包。
They allowed smoking in this room only. 他们只允许在这间屋子里抽烟。
4. Let's not waste any more time. 我们不要再浪费时间了。
waste 意为“浪费”,可以用作名词,也可以用作动词。常用的句型或结构:
(1)waste ... on sth. “浪费……于某物上”
(2)waste ... in doing sth. “浪费……做某事”
(3)a waste of ... “浪费……”
(4)It’ s wasteful to do sth. “做某事是浪费的”
例如:
I shouldn’t waste my time in complaining and worrying.我不应该浪费我的时间来抱怨和担忧。
It’s a waste of time to talk to him. 和他谈话是白费时间。
1. I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. 我在张家界玩得很开心。
have a wonderful time 玩得高兴
have a great(good) time / enjoy onelf 玩得愉快
e.g: Sally said that she had a good time ( enjoyed herlf) in Beijing last week.
萨莉说她上周在北京玩得很高兴。
2. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.
它们中的一些看上去像人,另一些像野生动物。
