【重点难点解析】

1,in charge of

 in charge of意为"管理、掌管、负责"(=in a position of responsibility for)。例如:

 The lady in white whom Aqiao met in the valley was Lady Silkworm, the fairy in charge of the harvesting of silk.阿巧在山谷里遇到的白衣娘子就是掌管养蚕产丝的蚕花娘子。

 Mr Li will be in charge of the whole company next month when the manager is away.

 下个月经理外出时,由李先生来负责整个公司。

 Doctor Wang will be in charge of the operation.

 王医生将负责这次手术。

 She is in charge of our class. 她担任我们班的班主任。

 Mary was in charge of the baby.玛丽负责照料这个婴儿。

【注意】in charge表示主动的"主管、负责"。这个介词短语可作表语或定语,其主语为"人";in charge of也表示主动的"主管、负责"的意思。主语是表示人的名词或代词,在句中常作定语和表语;in the charge of的主语常是表示某个单位、部门或某项工作等的名词。例如:

 If we have any question, we may ask the leader in charge.

 若有问题,我们可以问问那位领导,由他负责一切。

 Professor Wang is in charge of this university. 王教授负责这所大学。

 This university is in the charge of Professor Wang. 这所大学由王教授主管。

 This ward of the hospital is in the charge of Dr. Smith.

 医院的这个病房由史密斯医生负责。

2,The man often falls ill and suffers fever.  

 水手们经常得病发烧。 

 1)suffer遭受,蒙受。在本句中作及物动词,所接宾语指痛苦,疾病,寒冷,饥饿,损失等。如:

 She was suffering from a headache.  她正经受头痛之苦。

 Many people suffer from a great dread of heights. 许多人非常畏高。

 2)fall 意为"进入某种状态"时,是连系动词,后接形容词、副词或名词。如:

 His voice choked at the painful memory and he fell silent.

 这些痛苦的回忆使他声音哽咽,他沉默了下来。

 The book was old and soon fell apart.

 这书已有年头了,没隔多久书页都脱落了。

 He fell asleep while studying his grammar book.

 他在看语法书时睡着了。

 As a language grows, new words are introduced and many words fall out of use.

 随着语言的发展,新词出现了,同时也有许多字被废弃不用了。

【注意】fall 表示进入某种状态,不表示该状态的持续,故fall不能与表示一段时间的状语连用,例如我们不能说 He has fallen ill for three days.而应该说 he has been ill for three days.

3,defeat, beat打败,它们的宾语都必须是人或一个集体;team(school, class)等,beat多用于游戏,比赛,defeat尤指战争,有时两词也可互换。

 Tom beat Jim and won the race.

 We beat their team by 10 points.

 I can easily beat him at golf.

 Jack's school beat Tom's at baseball.

4,It is a good, strong ship, though not very fast.

 虽然他还是个年青人,却是那个国家的首席生物学家。

 2)类似的省略从句主语及谓语中的be动词还运用于when, where, if, as, as if等连词引出的时间、地点、条件、方式、比较等状语从句中。如:

 Fill in the blanks with articles wherever(they are)necessary.在必要的地方填上冠词。

 As(it was) scheduled, they met again on Jan. 20.按照事先安排的日程,他们于元月二十日再次见面。

 When(you are)in need,  you may ask me for help.你需要时可向我请求帮助。

 The boy looked as if(he were)afraid of nothing.

 那个男孩似乎什么都不怕。

 The ship was hit by a hurricane and some sailors were buried at sea.

 这艘船在海上遇到飓风,一些水手葬身海底。

 注:

 1)at sea除作上述解释外,还可引申为"不知所措、茫然",这时常与all,completely等副词连用。例如:

 We are all at sea as to what to do next.

 我们全然不知下一步该做什么。

 He was completely at sea when he began his new job.

 他刚开始干他的新工作时,他完全不知怎样做才好。

 I can't understand this problem. I'm all at sea.

 我不懂这个问题,我完全摸不着头脑。

 When it comes to mathematics, I'm completely at sea.

 至于说到数学,我简直一窍不通。

2)在英语中,有许多结构用与不用定冠词在意思方面有着很大的区别。

【语法-V-ing】

1.动词-ing形式作主语,往往表示事物化、抽象化的概念,而动词不定式作主语强调具体动作。如:

 Seeing is believing. (=To see is to believe.)眼见为实。

 下列情况用动词-ing形式作主语,通常不用动词不定式作主语。

 1)在It + be + no use/no good/useless +动词-ing形式句型中(此时也可用动词不定式作真正主语)。如:

 It's no use crying over the spilt milk.牛奶已泼,哭也无益。

 2)在There + be + no +动词-ing形式句型中。如:

 There is no joking about such matter. 这种事情不能开玩笑。

 3)在一般疑问句中用动词-ing形式而不用动词不定式作主语。如:

 Can playing music records make cows give more milk?

 放音乐磁带会使母牛多产乳吗?

2.动词-ing形式作表语,有的和主语表示同一概念,可以和主语互换;有的表示主语的事物的特征,不可和主语互换。如:

 One of the good exercises is climbing mountains. 登山是一种很好的锻炼。

 (句中主语和表语表示同一概念,可以改成:Climbing mountains is one of the good exercises.)

 The colour is pleasing to the eyes.颜色悦目。(表语表示主语的事物的特征,相当于形容词,不可和主语互换)

3.动词-ing形式作宾语。某些及物动词后一般不能接动词不定式作宾语,只能接动词-ing形式作宾语。它们是:

 avoid(避免),advise(劝告),admit(承认),consider(考虑),dislike(讨厌),escape(逃避),enjoy(喜爱),finish(结束),mind(反对,介意),miss(错过),risk(冒险),suggest(建议),practise(练习),excuse(原谅),imagine(想像),keep(继续不断),以及短语can't help(不禁,忍不住),put off(推迟),keep on(继续,坚持),give up(放弃,不再做),be worth(值得)等。如:

 Would you mind passing me the salt?请你把盐递给我好吗?

 He admitted stealing the necklace the day before and said he was sorry.

 他承认前天偷了项链,说他很抱歉。

 On hearing the joke we couldn't help laughing.

 一听到这笑话我们不禁笑了起来。

注:

 ★某些动词如begin, start, continue等后既可用动词不定式作宾语,也可用动词-ing形式作宾语,意思区别不大。如:

 They continued working/to work as if nothing had happened.

 他们继续工作,似乎什么也没发生。

 ★某些动词如like, love, prefer, hate等后接动词-ing形式作宾语指经常性的情况,用动词不定式作宾语指具体的动作。如:

 Though his income is small, he loves buying/to buy books.

 虽然他收入不高,却爱买书。

 I'd like to have something to eat. 我想吃点东西。(would/should like后只能接动词不定式作宾语,不能接动词-ing形式,因为想做的是一次性的具体动作。)

 He preferred staying in the house when it rained.天下雨时他宁愿待在屋里。(用动词-ing形式作宾语,指每逢天下雨留在家里的经常情况)

 I prefer to stay at home this afternoon. 今天下午我宁可留在家里(用动词不定式作宾语,指今天下午留在家里一时的,具体的动作。)

 ★某些动词,如 remember, forget, try, stop, regret, go on等后接动词-ing形式或动词不定式作宾语,意义不同。如:

 I remember locking the door.(=I remember that I locked the door. remember +doing sth. 意为记得自己曾做过某事)我记得曾锁过门。

 I will remember to lock the door.(=I will not forget to lock the door. remember to do sth. 意为记住要做某事,此事还没有做)我会记住锁门的。

 Stop talking, please. I've something important to tell you. 请不要讲话。我有要事相告。(stop doing指停止做某事,不再做某事)

 When he felt tired, he stopped to take a rest. 他感到疲劳时就停下来休息。(stop to do sth.意为停下来或中断原来动作以便做另外某事)

 Dick went on asking about various friends.狄克继续询问各种朋友的情况。

 (go on doing sth.意为继续做原来做的事情)

 After criticizing our plan he went on to put forward his own proposal.他批评我们计划后接下去提出自己的建议。(go on to do sth. 意为接下去做另外一件事)

 ★want, need后接动词-ing形式作宾语,含被动意义,相当于动词不定式的被动形式。如:

 Your hair needs cutting/to be cut.你的头发需要理。

 The house wanted doing up/to be done up unless you decided to move into the country.如果你不想搬往乡下,你的房屋就得修理。

 Have you ever seen people dance? Some dances are fast and others are slow .People's feet always move when they dance .They keep on moving until the music stops.

 People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time .This story is of a different kind of dance .It is the dance of bees .

 If you have ever watched bees ,you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home .

 The home of the bees is called a bee hive. Here hundreds even thousands of bees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax .There they make their honey . This is the same honey that we eat.

 At the hive, bees changes this flower food into honey .Then they fly away for more food .

 How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers ,it flies back to the hive and tells the others .It does this by dancing for them .

 The bee dances on one side .This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers .But that is not all .The bee dances for some time .And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.

 When the bees see the dance ,they know where the flowers are .They fly away and return with more food for the hive.

 Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around .But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.

 Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day , it is also the most neglected(忽视).Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time ,not feeling hungry ,traditional dislike for breakfast ,and dieting .

 Breakfast simply means "break the fast ". Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day's work ahead .

 A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the days .On average ,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner . If breakfast doesn't appeal to you in the morning , try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning .

If you still aren't hungry in the morning ,start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious midmorning snack (小吃)later when you are hungry.

 So , you say you're on a diet .Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more .It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That's because your body is working correctly .Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long ,in reality you are probably not .

 Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later .To make matters worse ,since your body is in a slowed state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently . If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.

 Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day , choosing the right fuel is important .The best breakfast foods fruits ,juice ,lean (清瘦的)meat , and grain products such as bread , noodles ,and cereal(谷类).

 Education is not an end , but a means to an end. In other words ,we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them .Our purpose is to fit them for life.

 In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable(时兴的)to think that by free education for

 all--whether rich or poor , clever or stupid --one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees ,they refuse to do what they think "low "work and , in fact ,work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries .But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated , farmer is far more important than that of a professor, we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets

 and took the rubbish away from our houses , we should get terrible diseases in our towns...

 In fact , when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life , it means that we must be educated in such a way that , firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and ,

 secondly that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society , and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work . Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

 Recently ,a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called "Money and the Meaning of Life .He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think .One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week .From the way they spend their money , they can see what they really value in life.

 He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture .You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends .But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money .If he does ,it brings something to the relationship if he doesn't .

 This person may say that he has a certain feeling , but if it is not carried out in the money world ,there is something less real about it .

 Since money is so important to us ,we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important .The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

 Antarctica lies in the extreme south of the earth . It largely is within the America Circle .It has an area of about 140,000 square kilometers . It is equal almost to Europe and Australia put together . Antarctica is the coldest continent .It is covered with cold thick ice and snow all year round . Its winter months are from April to October. During these months al round the Antarctica the sea freezes ,which makes it impossible for ships to reach the coast. Although it is the coldest in the world , it is a very rich continent .There are many well-known animals such as penguins and whales . It is also rich in mineral resources including iron and coal .Up to now there are no permanent inhabitants except some visiting scientists, including some Chinese scientists ,who began their work from 1984 on .They have set up many research stations

 A lot of research work has been carried out in recent years, but much still has to be learned about the land lying under the ice.
