【答疑解惑】
句子分析
1．The first westerner to discover these islands was an Italian explorer in 1524.
To discover these islands 不定式作定语修饰westerner. 不定式作定语放在所修饰的
名词后面. 不定式作定语与所修饰的名词关系一般存在下类关系:
He is always the first to come. (逻辑主谓关系)
Would you like something to drink? (逻辑动宾关系)
He has no room to live in. (逻辑上介词与宾语的关系)
I have not any time to write the article. (逻辑上状语与动词的关系)
2．Now that they could ride horses, it became easier to hunt the bison, a type of cattle which used to exist in huge numbers on the plains of America.
now that 引导原因状语从句, 译做 “既然”. 有时只有 now, 如：
Now we are alone, we can speak freely.
3．Between 1850 and 1910 the bison population is thought to have fallen from 60 million to just a few hundred.
to have fallen 不定式做主语补足语. 不定式的完成式表示动作先于位于动词的发生. 如:
I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. ( to have kept 在谓语动词之前)
十分抱歉让你等了这么久
语言重点
1．a handful of goods worth about $ 24.
A handful of 一把,少量;修饰可数名词.
Only a handful of people attended the dance ball. 仅有少量的人参加了舞会.
Worth about $24形容词短语作定语, 放在所修饰的名词后面, 在此修饰goods. 例
如:
The cup full of tea is his. 装满茶水的杯子是他的.
2．Today native Americans express their anger over this business deal.
Over (介词)表示在某问题之上,为某事, 对某事. 例如:
They quarrelled over the price of the food. 他们对食品的价格而争吵.
3．People who wanted to enter the USA had to go through a number of mental and physical tests, and about 2 million people were turned away.
turn away 撵走, 拒不接纳. 例如:
Because the hall was full, and many people were turned away.
由于大厅人满了, 许多人被拒之门外.
4．They lived by hunting and by gathering roots, nuts and wild fruits.
live by 靠(手段, 方法)……维生. 例如:
She lives by sewing for other families. 她靠为别人家庭做些缝纫活儿谋生.
live on …/ feed on… 靠吃……而生活. 例如：
We can’t live on air. 我们不能靠吃空气而生存。
5．From 1830 onwards in the USA and from about 1870 in Canada settlers began to move westwards and to take possession of the plains as their own.
take possession of… 拿过来, 夺取.
The policeman took possession of the thief’s bag. 警察把小偷的包拿了过来.
6．This in turn had an effect on the food supply for wolves.
in turn 轮流着, 两者间轮番地. 如:
理论建立在实践的基础上, 与此同时理论又为实践服务.
have a…effect on(upon)… 对…..有影响; 对……起作用. 如:
It had an almost immediate effect on his thinking.
这对他的思维有着几乎立即的影响.

三. 词语探究
【重点词语讲解】

complete，accomplish, finish均表示＂完成＂，都可以作为及物动词．
accomplish后面最常用的名词是task （任务），aim（目的），journey （旅程），voyage（海程）．如：

complete较accomplish更具体，可指建筑工程、书籍的完成。Complete常意味着赋予成品的完整性。如：
The building will be completed by the end of this month..
finish和complete 在很多情况下可以通用，但注意：
（1）finish可以接v+ing而 complete不能。如：
（2）finish的“完”是“用完”、“吃完”，吃完饭只能译为 finish a meal
比较： I have finished the book.（读完）
I have completed the book.（写完）
2. invent ,discover , create 辨析

五.探究性学习
【高考语法训练】
状语从句
状语从句在句中作状语，修饰主句中的动词、形容词或副词等，按其意义和作用可分为时间、条件、原因、让步、目的、结果、方式、地点等九种。下面就引导状语从句的部分关联词进行分类比较它们的用法。
1) when, while, as
这三个连接词都可以引导时间状语从句，它们的主要异同点是：
（1）when表示主句的动作和从句的动作同时发生，或从句的动作发生在主句的动作之前；即可指时间点，亦可指时间段；从句的谓语动词既可以是延续性的，以可以是终止性的。例如：
When I got to the theatre, the play had been on.
When I worked there, I made friends with Mr Zhang.
（2）While从句强调在某一段时间内主句和从句的动作同时发生，或主句的动作在从句的动作过程中发生；不能指时间点，只能指时间段，侧重动作的持续性和对比性。例如：
Please look after my little sister while I am away.
While I was walking along the river, I heard someone crying for help.
（3）As从句表示“当……时”或“一边……一边”，强调主句和从句的动作同时发生；主句和从句的谓语动词既可以用过去时，以可以用进行时。例如：
Will you drop the letter in the box as you go past the post office?
As I was walking along the river, she sang happily.
2）as soon as, no sooner…than, hardly…when
这三个连词词组都表示“一……就”，“刚……就……”，它们的不同点是：
as soon as引导的从句和主句的动词用一般过去时。no sooner…than和hardly…when引导
的从句一般用过去完成时，而主句的动词用一般过去时；从句常倒装，把助动词had提到主语前面。例如：
As soon as I got off the train, I hurried home.
No sooner had he arrived than the meeting began.
I had hardly taken my seat when someone called me.
(=Hardly had I taken my seat when someone called me)
3）where, wherever
这两个连接词都可以引导地点状语从句。前者意为“在……地方”，指的是一个固定的地点，而后者为“无论……在哪儿”，指的是任意一个地点。例如：
Where there is air and water, there are living things.
Wherever he is, he is always ready to help others.
4）because, since, as
这三个连接词都可以引导原因状语从句。它们的主要区别是：
（1）because引导的原因状语从句叙说的是直接原因，语气较强，它有时也用于推测性的理由，表示因果的必然推断。因此，在回答why提问时，只能用because，不能用as或since。在because前面可以加only, just, simply等表示强调意义的词或否定词not。在构成强调句型时，只能用because从句，不能用since或as从句。例如：
The boy was scolded only because he broke the glass.
It was because I lost my way that day that I couldn’t go to visit the exhibition.
（2）用as和since引导原因状语从句时，着重点在于主句，原因、理由只是附带说明。As的语气较轻，有时可以和because换用。Since从句一般指谈话双方所熟知的原因，常译作“既然”。例如：
He had no right to be elected as he wasn’t an American.
Since a lot of people make mistakes in life, Mr Hopkins decided to give John a chance.
【注】for也可引导分句说明原因，但for是并列连词；for引导的分句只能后置，它往往是对前面的句子加以推理或补充某些事实，此时不能由because来代替。例如：
It is spring now, for the flowers are out. (此时，for不能用because代替)
5) as, though, although
①这三个连词都可以引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然……”，“尽管……”，though和although大多数情况下可以换用，只是although比though正式些，语气较重，具有强调意味，因此多放在句首。though引导的从句可指事实或设想，而although引导的从句通常指事实，不指设想。这两个词不能与表示转折的关联词but连用，如要强调反面，可用yet, still等副词。例如：
Although (Though) he is old, yet he can do it.
②有时为了强调，though引导的从句的谓语的一部分可以倒装，相当于as引导的让步状语从句。例如：
Young as (though) he is, he knows a lot.
Girl as she was, she did better than a boy. (原来从句中的表语a girl，在用as变为倒装句后，表语单数名词前的不定冠词a(an)要省去)
Hard as (though) he worked, yet he failed in the exam.
6)so…that, so that, such…that
①so that可以引导目的状语从句或结果状语从句。引导目的状语从句，主句与从句是结果与目的关系；引导结果状语从句，主句与从句是原因与结果的关系。例如：
I am going to give up the chance to go abroad so that I can do the important experiment.（so that引导的是目的状语从句）
It was cold so that I could hardly keep still.（so that引导的是结果状语从句）
②so…that和such…that是关联连词，一般只引导结果状语从句，也可以说是程度状语从句。so…that结构可以细分为四种形式：a. so+形容词（副词）+that从句。b. so+形容词+a(an)+单数名词+that从句。c. so+动词+that从句。d. so + many/few(much, little)+复数名词（或不可数名词）+that从句。例如：
He was so excited that he could not say a word.
He is so good a boy that everyone likes him.
He so used all his skills that he invented a new type of machine.
There were so many people in the room that they could not get in.

Scientists used to explore（探索）on the surface of the ocean． Now they are exploring below the surface, too． They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean．
In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball． In 1935 August Picecard dived 10,330 feet． In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet．
All these early dives were deep． But the divers could not stay down for very long． They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds． Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface． Gradually they succeeded． Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week．
Now scientists are developing even better equipment． With this new equipment, men can below the surface for days or even weeks． Then in 1964 he set up another station to operate without help from the surface．
Many countries are now studying undersea living． The former Soviet union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea． The United States has a laboratory 50feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands． In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks． Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory． Next came other teams of men． All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources． Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animals wealth there to provide food for the entire world．

As everyone knows, China has been open to the world since 1978. As a result, great changes have also taken place in our village. Our old folks’ home is a good example.（开头的逻辑要注意）（下一段的语言逻辑和过渡要非常自然）
With the development of modern industry and agriculture in our village, our old folks’ home was put up in 1988. The old who have no children or have lost their abilities of labour are all admitted into it. And now there are 100 old people in it, among whom the oldest is 88 and the youngest 68. The costs of their food, clothing, housing and medical care are all free of charge. （首先，把总的情况介绍完毕，在另起一层意思来表达次要的内容是记叙文体的要求）Besides, the home is also well-equipped with colour TVs, washing machines, reading-rooms and clinics. The old living in it can do all they would like to, and, of course, they are living a comfortable and happy life.
