【释疑解惑】
1．We’ll have some more bricks. 我们还得买些砖。
We can get some more bricks tomorrow. 我们明天再买些砖。
“more”置于数词，some, a few, a little, many, much之后表达 “再…,”(除了前面提到之外）
另外，若在疑问句或否定句中要用在any之后。
e.g. Read it once more, please. 请再读一遍。
The house has six rooms more.这房子还有六间屋子。
Have you any more paper? 你还有纸吗？
I think we’ll have. any more chances.
我认为我们不再有任何机会了。
2．What can we do to make it look less ugly?
我们能想个办法使它不那么难看吗？
句中less ugly 为形容词的“劣等比较”.我们过去学习的由-er, -est或more 和most 构
成的比较极为“优等比较级”，表示“比…强。”劣等比较表示“不如…”构成比较简
单：比较级用 less+原级；最高级用least＋原级.
e.g He got up less early than you .他起得不如你早.
The computer is less dear than that one . 这台计算机不如那台贵.
3．As long as that ? 要那么长时间吗？
该是“Will it take as long as that ?”的省略式.
“as long as +时间长度”表“长达…”
e.g Once they worked as long as 20 hours a day .
他们一度工作每天长达20小时.
The game lasted as long as two hours .这场比赛长达两小时。
注意：as long as 还可做条件状语从句连接词表示“只要”
e.g As long as you work hard at
English , you
ll succeed.
只要你肯在英语上下功夫，你会成功的。
As（so）long as you need me ,Ill stay . 只要你需要我，我就留下来。
另外，表示条件状语从句的连接词还有：on condition that 它是以提出条件为先决
条件的条件状语从句的连接词。如：
On condition that you return on time, I will let you out.
只要你能按时回来我就让你走。
4．…we must stop people walking on
this floor until its firm.
在地板安牢之前，我们不能人们在地板上走动。
该句中 stop…（from）doing 阻止某人做某事
Stop the children（from）playing with a fire. 别让孩子们玩火。
We must stop him（from）giving up the plan. 我们不能让他放弃这个计划。
类似的结构还有：
prevent…（from）… 阻止…做某事
protect…（from）… 保护…（免受）…
keep…from… 使… 不要做…
在keep…from结构中from不可省。
本单元有个这样结构：
more than 70,000 square metres of stone were cleaned and （were）protected against the
water.
（他们）清洗了7万多平方米的石头，并做了防水处理。
5．…to put up a notice saying“Keep off ”
…竖一块牌子，写上“请勿踩踏.”
keep off 的意思是“不要靠近”；“远离…”
Danger! Keep off! 危险！不要走近！
Keep your hands off.请勿触摸。
Keep your hands off my dress .请不要碰我的衣服。
The doctor advised him to keep off fatty food.
医生劝告他避免多吃多脂肪的食物。
6．masses of （＝a mass of ）大堆、大量、众多，其后可接可数或不可数名词。
On Sunday he has a mass of things to do .
周日他有一大堆事情要做。
We can get a mass of information from newspapers.
从报纸上我们得到大量信息。
7．––Is it necessary to keep the brushes in water?
––Yes .If
you dont , theyll go hard .
––有必需把刷子放在水中吗？
––有必要.若不这么做，刷子会变硬的。
该句中go 为系动词，hard 为形容词“硬的”
go 可以作系动词 ，表示变化的结果，绝大多数表示“糟糕”或“不好”的状态。
e.g She went red with anger.她是气得脸变红.
The eggs went bad. 这鸡蛋变臭了。
8．––I think we should paint the wall while.
––Yes . It looks a bit ugly as it is.
––我认为要把墙塗成白色。
––是的，像现在这样，它看上有点难看。
as it is =in reality ,“事实上”，“像现在这个样子.”“可以说”它用于句首或句尾。
e.g He is like a brother to me ,as it were .
他好比是我哥哥。
Leave it as it is .保持原样。
9．The country had been at war for many years…
这国家经历了多年战乱。
at war 处于战争状态。
e.g. The two countries were at war . 这两国那时处于交战状态。
At that time our country was at war with Japan. 那时我国正与日本作战。
at 可以与名词连用表示处于某种状态。
e.g. at rest 在休息; at play 在玩
at work 在办公; at lunch 在吃饭 at desk 在做功课.
10．and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces.
…寺院荒芜，房屋倒塌.
（1）desert 这里为动词. 读作/diz′ :t/ 作“丢弃，遗弃”解. 注意desert 还有名词词性，读作/’‘dez t/ 作“沙漠”解.
（2）fall to pieces 作“倒塌”，“解体”
e.g. The ancient building was falling to pieces. 那座古建筑物正在倒塌。
In 1991 the Soviet Union fell to pieces. 在一九九一年苏联解体。
（3）to pieces 与动词搭配表示“粉碎地”“稀烂地”
e.g. come to pieces 分解开来 支离破碎
go to pieces 粉碎；（肉体或精神上）崩溃
tear…to pieces 撕得粉碎
take …to pieces 分解，解体.
11．Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced
一堆石头放在院子的一角，准备做更换之用。
（1）in a corner 在角落
注意：at the corner ,on the corner 与in the corner 的区别.
 |
There is a broom in the corner of the room. （三点成的角）
在房间角落里有把扫帚。
There is a glass on the corner of the table . （两线成的角）
在桌子角上有个玻璃杯。
There is a telephone box at the corner of the street .
在街的拐角处有座电话亭。
由两个面或两个线相交之处即是角corner.从外侧看则为“角”；从内侧看则为“隅”依
此对“角”要用at 或on，而对“隅”则要用in 。
at 表示交的“点”，on 则表示面上的角。
（2）waiting to be replaced
这里wait 之后接不定式，表示等候做某事。
We are waiting to be examined. 我们在等候检查。
我们过去学习的短语是wait for .这里for 所接的人或物，实为不定式逻辑主语。
e.g. We are waiting for the teacher (to come ).
我们正等老师（来）。
12．The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists.
洗石工作是由三名印度化学师监管。
watch over 作“照管”“负责”解。

工程师和工人们日夜守卫着堤防。
The welfare of disabled people is watched over by the department.
这个部门负责管理残疾人的福利。
13．Besides, there are very few skilled stone workers left after the war years.
此外，在战后年代之后，有技术的石工寥寥无几。
（1）besides 这里是副词，作“此外”“而且”解，通常位于句首，并用逗号同句子的其余部分隔开.
e.g. It’s too expensive. Besides, I have no money with me today.
它太贵，此外，我今天也没带着钱.
（1）该句中的left是过去分词，此处作定语，修饰主语workers. 作“留下”“剩下”解.常用的句型是: There is / are +主语+ left. (只剩下…)。
e.g. Hurry up ! There’s not much time left for us .
快点！我们的时间不多了。
Go and get some bread .There is not much bread left .
去买面包，家里面包不多了。
注意：left 做定语，表示“剩下”“留下”解时，只能做后置定语，不能做前置定语。
13．The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink .
灰色的石塔呈现金黄色，然后转成淡红色。
（1）句中take on 作“呈现”解。
e.g. The whole city took on a festive air.

四、语法精析 本单元复习下列语法内容：
（1）一般过去时与现在完成时的区别；
（2）被动语态；
（3）一般现在时与现在进行时的区别.
1．P56 Practice 2
该练习复习一般现在时及现在进行时被动语态.注意：被动进行时的结构.be+being+p.p。

该练习复习一般现在时与进行时。
一般现在时强调经常性、习惯性，多次发生的动作，或对自然界客观的描叙。
现在进行时：强调此刻或现阶段正在发生或进行的行为动作。
该练习中第八句为一般过去时。
3．P57 Practice 5
该练习复习一般过去时和现在完成时的区别.一般过去时，表示过去发生的动作或状
态。
而现在完成时，尽管发生或开始于过去，但这个动作对现在有影响或这个动作延续到现在。

A
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat． The usual problem is how to get rid of it． But the designers of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat． They have designed a collection system which makes good use of not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as electric lights and refrigerators（冰箱）as well． The system works so well that no coal or electricity is used to make the university’s six buildings warm and comfortable．
Some parts of most modern buildings – theatres and offices as well as classrooms – are heated by people and lights far more than necessary, and sometimes they must be air conditioned（有空调的）even in winter． The skill of saving heat and sharing it out again in a different way is called “heat recovery”． A few modern buildings recover heat, but the university’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others．
Along the way, Pittsburgh University has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers． The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off． Boy students send out more heat than girl students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces． It sounds rather reasonable to draw the following conclusion that the hottest prospect for the Pittsburgh University would be a hardworking, overweight boy student who is very clever in the university．
1．According to this passage, the heat system of the Pittsburgh University is supplied by __________．
A．human bodies B．human bodies and electrical equipments
C．human bodies and coal D．human bodies, electrical equipments and coal
2．The skill of heat recovering is used to __________．
A．find out the source of heat B．produce a special form of air conditioning
C．provide that for the hot water system D．collect and reuse heat

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another． It doesn’t matter where you live – in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village – the chances are that you’ll be disturbed by jet aero planes, transistor radios, oil powered engines, etc． We seem to be getting used to noise, too． Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they’re working．
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being． However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums（耳鼓）． The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas．
One recent report about noise and concentration（专心）suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise． It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn’t change too much ( music, for example ) may even help people to concentrate．
1．According to this passage, the noise pollution __________．
A．has become the worst in the country side
B．has become better in big cities
C．has spread from cities to villages
D．has been controlled in modern cities
2．What does background music refer to?
A．Music played while people are working
B．Music played in the backyard．
C．Noise that continues while you’re listening to other noises．
D．Music used to help people to concentrate．
3．Some people have their hearing harmed__________．
A．while listening to pop music B．in complete silence
C．when speaking loudly D．while watching TV

The cloth made a pleasant noise as Charlies dipped it in the bucket of water and then squeezed it dry． The feel of it in his hand changed a great deal with its condition: slippery when it was wet and rough like cork when it was dry． He went over the glass of the window once more, this time with the dry cloth． Then he dropped it into the bucket and left it there while he took another dry cloth out of his pocket and gave the window a final polish．
The hot sun beating directly on the glass dried up the last of the dampness and showed how clear and shining it had become． The windows were really clean． That was the lot! The last window of the last house he was going to do that morning． As it was Saturday, that meant that work was over for the week． He had worked – he had earned his living – for a whole week!

This summer I spent my holiday on a small island called “Mingzhu Island”. Though it was an out-of-the-way place without modern hotels or restaurants, I had no trouble with food and water there. The island was lovely, with wild flowers and green trees growing everywhere. The swimming and sunbathing there were excellent, too, Besides, it was not so crowded with tourists like most places of interest. I love the peace there. I thought it was the best place I'd ever visited.
