三．教学难点
含有情态动词的被动语态
四．重点难点讲解
1．_ neither too wet nor too dry. 既不要太潮湿也不要太干燥。
both 和neither
1)both表示“两者都”，即指两个人或物，是复数概念；neither“两这种无一”，也指人或物，然而是单数概念。因此，both修饰复数名词，谓语用复数形式；neither修饰单数名词，谓语用单数形式。如：
Both answers are right. 两个答案都对。
Neither answer is right. 两个答案无一是对的。
（第二句是第一句的全否定形式。它的不完全否定形式是这样的，
Both answers are not right. 两个答案并不都对。）
I like both of them. 他们两个我都喜欢。
I like neither of them. 他们两个我都不喜欢。
（如果数量是三个或三个以上，则肯定句用all,否定句用none。如：
All of them are interested in it. 他们对此都感性趣。
None of them are(is) interested in it. 他们对此都不感性趣。
2）both…and…和neither…nor…可以连接两个并列成分，即两个主语，谓语，宾语或其他并列成份。如：
She can both sing and dance. 她既会唱歌又会跳舞。
She can neither sing nor dance. 她既不会唱歌又不会跳舞。
Both Tom and John are from Britain. Tom 和John都是英国人。
Neither Tom nor John is from Britain. Tom和John 都不是英国人。
（both…and…连接两个主语时，后面谓语用复数。而neither…nor…连接两个主语时，后面 谓语必须与nor后面的主语在数上保持一致。如：
Neither Jack nor his parents are interested in the girl.
Jack和他的父母对那个女孩都不感兴趣。
2．happen to sb./sth.
表示某人或某件事情发生了什么情况。很多时候表示一种偶然性。
happen的主语一般是疑问代词what ，不定代词something, anything, nothing ,以及某些表示消极意义的名词。
happen是不及物动词，不能用于被动语态。
Happen总是和介词to搭配。如：
1)What has happened to Mary? She isn’t here yet.
Mary出了什么事？她现在还没到。
2）If anything happens to the machine ,please let me know.
如果机器出了什么毛病，请通知我。
3）The accident happened to him at three this afternoon.
他出事是在今天下午三点半。
3．… about a third was… 大约三分之一是…….
分数的表达法
分子用基数词，分母用序数词。如果分子是二或二以上的数，分母加-s.如：
one-third 三分之一
two-thirds 三分之二
分数作主语，谓语的单复数取决于它所代表的量是单数还是复数。如：
Three-fourths(Three quarters)of the students of our school are boys.
我们学校四分之三的学生是男生。
Three quarters of the work has been done.
工作的四分之三已经完成。
4．hundred和hundreds of
hundred前面可以用表示具体概念的数词来修饰。而hundreds of表示“多”， “数以……计”，前面不可一家表示具体概念的数词。如：
There are two hundred students in our grade. 我们年级右二百个学生。
Several millions of trees are planted in our country every year.
我国每年将种植好几百万棵树。
5．Stop…from doing
stop sb. /sth. from doing sth.是“阻止……不作某事”，介词from可以省略。如：
We must stop him (from) doing such a foolish thing.
我们必须阻止他不让他作这样的蠢事。
They tried to stop such a thing (from) happening.
他们向阻止这样的事情发生。
6．stop to do和stop doing
stop to do的意思是“停下来做事情”，不定式做状语。
stop doing的意思是“停止做事情”。如：
They stopped to talk to me. 他们停下来和我讲话。
Stop running about! 不要乱跑。
7．the more, the better越多越好。
前一分句表示假设，条件，时间等，后一分句表示结果。如；
The more you read, the more you will get. 你读的越多，得到的也就越多。
The farther he walked, the stranger he felt. 她越往前走，越感到奇怪。
8．thanks to … “多亏了……”,“由于……帮助“。如：
Thanks to the English language, we can learn a lot from English-speaking countries.
由于英语这门语言的帮助，我们能够向说英语的国家学到许多东西。
I’ve passed the exams thanks to my teachers. 多亏了我的老师，我通过了这次考试。
9．不定式作定语
1）I have a lot to do today. 我今天有许多事情要做。（a lot是do的逻辑宾语）
2）I have three letters to write this evening. 今晚我有三封信要写。
3）She is a nice person to work with. 她是一个很好共事的人。
4）Let’s find a room to put these things in. 我们找个房间把这些东西放在里边。
（前两个例句的不定式是及物动词，后两个例句的不定式时不及物动词，它后面就应加上必要的介词。）
10….as often as possible 尽可能常……
as soon as possible 尽可能地快
as far as possible 尽可能地远些
11．Today, too many trees are still being cut down in the USA.

12．The Great Green Wall is 7,000 kilometers long, and between 400 and 1,700 kilometer wide.
这绿色长城长为7，000公里，款再次00指，700公里之间。

The class room is 4 meters wide. 这个教室有4米宽。
The river is about 10 metes deep. 这条河有10米宽。
13．There are twenty more trees to be planted!
