3.ItwaswhenAsimovwaselevenyearsoldthathistalentforwritingbecameobvious.

b.天才,有才能的人们

Thecompanymakesgooduseofitstalent.

该公司很好地发挥了内部人才的作用。

4.Itwasdisturbingandfrighteningthathelookedsohuman.

机器人如此通人性,这使她觉得心烦和害怕。

It是形式主语,that引导的句子是这个句子的主语,that从句叫主语从句。It放在句首,真正的主语放在后面,这是英语的一种常见结构。

ItwasclearthatClairehadfalleninlovewithTony.

很显然,克莱尔已爱上了托尼。

Itseemsunlikelythatshewillrefusetheoffer.

看上去她不太可能拒绝给她的帮助。

带有that从句的先行词结构有以下几种不同的搭配关系:

(1)It+be+adj.+thatclause.

ItiscertainthatWilliamwilldowellinhisexam.

威廉肯定会考得很好。

Itisabsurdthathebelievesthenumber13hasbroughthimthebadluck.

他认为是13这个数字给他带来了厄运,这太可笑了。

在表示建议、命令、要求等意义的It结构中,that从句的谓语动词常常用(should)+do的形式。

Itissaidthathe(should)gotherewithoutdelay.

他最好马上去那里。

Itisimportantthatwe(should)beherebytheweekend.

周末我们得在这里,这很重要。

在表示惊讶、喜悦、遗憾等意义的It结构中,that从句的谓语动词也常用这种形式。

Itisntamazingthattheyshouldhavedecidedtodivorce.

他们已经决定离婚,这并不令人吃惊。

ItisregrettablethatTomshouldleavesosoon.

真遗憾汤姆这么快就要离开了。

(2)It+be+n.(ornounphrase)+thatclause.

Itisagreatpleasurethatsheiswellagainandcangotoheroffice.

她身体恢复了,可以去上班了,这真让人高兴。

Itisapitythatsheshouldrefusetoacceptthissuggestion.

真遗憾她拒绝了这个建议。

(3)It+be+v.-ed+thatclause.

ItissaidthatIsaacwillaccompanyhisparentstovisitEurope.

据说艾莎克将陪父母去欧洲访问。

ItissuggestedthateachchildrenshouldsingasonginEnglishattheparty.

建议每个学生都得在晚会上唱支英文歌。

(4)Itseems/happens...+thatclause.

Itseemsthattheyareinurgentneedofhelp.

好像他们现在急需帮助。

Ithappensthattheprettiestbirdsaretheworstsingers.

很碰巧,最漂亮的鸟是最差的歌手。

要注意的是这种结构与强调结构的区别。试比较:

ItwasTonythatmanagedtohelpherintime.

是托尼及时设法帮助了她。

ItwasthenthatClairerealizedthatTonyhadopenedthecurtainsofthefrontwindow.

也就在这时候,克莱尔才意识到托尼早就把前边窗户的窗帘拉开了。

5.SoClaireborrowedapileofbooksfromthelibraryforhimtoread,orrather,scan.

于是,克莱尔从图书馆借了一堆书给托尼阅读,或者说给他浏览一下。

(1)apileof/pilesof=alotof

Therewereapileofmagazinesonthedesk.

桌子上有一堆杂志。

Ivegotpilesofworktodothisevening.

今天晚上我有一大堆工作要做。

(2)orrather:awayofcorrectingsomethingyouhavesaid,ormakingitmoreexact.

HelivesinLondon,orrather,inthesuburbsofLondon.

他住在伦敦,更准确地说是在伦敦郊区。

Youhavetobesixteenforcheaptickets—orratherundersixteen.

你得是16岁才能买便宜的票,更准确地说是16岁以下。

6....youcannothavewomenfallinginlovewithmachines.

……总不能让女人爱上机器。

这句话的结构是have+n.+doing,have的意思是causesb.todo,它与have+sb.+do结构的意思有时略有不同,前者讲的是过程,后者叙述的是当时的情况。

AssoonasIgotthere,ItriedtohaveJohnfindmeahouse.

我一到那里,就试着让约翰给我找房子。

Shehadusalllaughingatherjokes.

她的笑话让我们大笑。

另外,在have+n.+doing结构中,如果have用作否定时,其意思是notpermitorallow。

Icanthaveyougoingeverywhereanddoingnothingallday.

我不能让你整天无所事事地东游西逛。

7.Asimovhadbothanextraordinaryimaginationthatgavehimtheabilitytoexplorefutureworldsandanamazingmindwithwhichhesearchedforexplanationsofeverything,inthepresentandthepast.

阿西默夫不仅有超凡的想象力,使他能对未来世界进行探索,而且还有着惊人的智力,使他对现在的和过去的各种事物作出解释。

这个句子稍微有点复杂,现简要地分析一下:Asimovhadbothanextraordinaryimaginationandanamazingmind是这个句子的重要部分,动词不定式toexplorefutureworlds修饰ability,withwhich引导的定语从句修饰anamazingmind。

withwhich是“介词+which(whom)”的结构,其介词的选择受到一定的限制:或与前面的名词搭配有关(本句就是这样),或与后面的动词或者词组搭配有关。

Heseemedtobelookingforthewordswithwhichhecouldexpresswhathewasthinkingabout.

他好像正在找能表达他想法的词语。

Thecar,forwhichIpaidalotofmoney,isnowoutofdate.

我花很多钱买的这辆小汽车现在过时了。

Chapter5Speaking:Buildingupthedescriptionofach


Chapter5Speaking:Buildingupthedescriptionofacharacter
一、章节分析(Readingsection)
(一)综述
本单元的主题是如何描写人物,Speaking部分为我们作了详细的介绍,我们可从人物的外貌、背景及性格方面入手来介绍人物。因此我们可以将这部分的内容与课文前的Whatdoyouknowabout…?中的照片人物描述结合起来,作为整个单元的导入部分。

(二)教学目标
1.知识目标
复习所学过的描述人物外貌性格的词汇和表达方式。
2.能力目标
提高学生对人物特征的观察能力和描述人物的语言表达能力。
3.情感目标
帮助学生进理解人物的穿着打扮可以帮助判断人物的职业和性格。

(三)教学方法
以复习旧词汇入手,采用形式多样的活动,加强学生运用语言知识描述人物的能力,并通过相应的任务,进一步操练相关词汇和句型。

二、教学设计(TeachingDesigns)
教学内容教学实施建议教学资源参考
Speaking1.根据课文上的提示,一一复习关于人物外貌、性格的词汇和表达方式。
2.将课文练习B1,B2中的八幅照片集中在一起,一名学生对其中一位人物进行描述,其余同学根据其描述来判断,猜出被描述的照片。注意要让描述的学生抓住人物与众不同的特征。
具体处理这部分内容的建议见[链接1]《牛津英语教学参考》PageT88
Whatdoyouknowabout…?课文中的四幅照片把人物放在了其特定的工作环境中。建议鼓励学生在描述了人物外貌后,适当介绍该人物的工作场景,并充分发挥想象力,根据人物的外貌和职业,描写人物的性格特征。《牛津英语教学参考》PageT76
操练任务活动1:
学生可自带一张人物照片,可从报纸杂志中选取,在四至六人的小组中向其他组员描述。为了增加趣味性,学生可以发挥想象力和幽默感,描述一个非同寻常的人物,甚至是外太空生物,在小组中评定选出“最特别人物奖”。
活动2:情景小品
假设你是一起抢劫案的目击者,你向警方描述嫌疑犯的外貌特征和服饰打扮,警察根据你的描述画出嫌疑人图像,张榜悬赏,最终抓住了犯罪嫌疑人。

[链接1]
(说明:对课文入的处理)
Buildingupthedescriptionofacharacter
1.高一牛津教材S1A中学生已学过了Careforhair这篇文章,所以该节课的引入将从复习所学的关于脸型、发型等的词汇入手,让学生的认识有个循序渐进的过程。
2.引入eyebrows,eyelashes等新词汇,并提供形容词thick,thin,long,short,pointed,flat,wide,…,学生可进行自由组合,组成例如thickeyebrows,athinpointednose,thick/thinlips等表达方式。
3.将scar,mole,pimple,freckle,wrinkle等列入不受欢迎的面部特征,并让学生根据所提供的词义或提示,猜出这些生词的意思。
4.用一个名为”compositesketch”的网上小游戏,来让学生巩固所学的词汇和表达方式。学生被告知如果能对自己的外貌进行一个准确的描述,这个神奇的电脑软件将会处理你所输入的信息,并据此画出你的合成草图。学生将被诱使着对自己的HairColor,HairStyle,NoseShape,Mouth,Lips,Ears,Shapeofface,Complexion,Race,FacialHair,Gender和Age这十二个方面的特征在调查表中做出选择。但事实上无论他们选择哪个答案,最后在屏幕上出现的都只是那个憨态可掬的丑八怪。但在此过程中,学生进一步扩大了相关的词汇量,并再一次体会到描述人物的外貌可从哪几方面入手,在哈哈一笑中强化了该项技能。
5.通过”Neverjudgebyappearances”(不要以貌取人。)和”Personalitycounts”(个性最重要。)通过这两句谚语的介绍,我们提出问题,让学生思考哪些形容词可以用来描述人物性格。而后在提供的场景中,让学生运用适当的词汇来修饰人物。
6.最后以小组为单位,开展“描述一位特殊人物“的活动,进一步运用词汇,增加口头表达的准确性。
