2、ompare three or more people or things. 重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)：Welcome to the unit1. Theres nothing else in the fridge. 冰箱里沒有別的東西了。句中else的意思是“此外、別的”，常用于不定代詞或副詞、疑問代詞或副詞之后。如：What else did he say? 他還說了些什么？nothing是不定代詞，做主語時(shí)謂語動(dòng)詞為單數(shù)形式。2. What makes your friends so special? 什么使得你的朋友如此特別？在本句中，make的意思是“使得”，形容詞special作賓語補(bǔ)

3、足語。eg：We must keep the room clean. 我們必須把房間保持干凈。The children found the story very interesting. 孩子們發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)故事很有趣。I hope to see you very well soon. 我希望你的病早些好。Do you like your tea weak or strong? 你喝茶喜歡淡一點(diǎn)還是濃一點(diǎn)？Reading1.

We have been best friends for a long time. 我們是最好的朋友已經(jīng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。have been是動(dòng)詞現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)的一種形式，還沒有正式學(xué)過，只須記住這里的意思是“（到現(xiàn)在）已是”，表示“我們從過去某個(gè)時(shí)刻起到現(xiàn)在一直是最好的朋友”。3. She is willing to share things with her friends.她愿意與朋友分享所有的東西。willing是個(gè)形容詞，意思是“愿意的”，后面常跟動(dòng)

5、詞不定式。如：eg: He is quite willing to live in the countryside. 他很愿意生活在農(nóng)村。4. She helps me with my homework and she always gives seats to people in need on the bus. 她幫助我做家庭作業(yè)，并且在公共汽車上總是給需要的人們讓座。people in need有需要的人們，in need是“介詞名詞”的詞組，常跟在名詞或代詞之后，作定語用。如：the man in a brown jacket 穿棕色茄克的人the man in trouble 處于困

6、境的人  5. Because of too much computer work. 因?yàn)樵谟?jì)算機(jī)上做了太多的工作。because of和because的意思都是“因?yàn)椤保瑓^(qū)別在前者跟短語，后者跟從句。如：他們因?yàn)橄掠隂]去博物館。可用because和because of兩種方法表示。They didnt go to the museum because of the rain.They didnt go to the museum because it rained.  6. they make him look smart 它們使得他看上去很精神。在這里，make的意思是

7、“使得”，look是賓語補(bǔ)足語，因?yàn)閯?dòng)詞make的關(guān)系，不定式to look省掉to，只用look。如：eg: Dont make students do too much homework. 不要使學(xué)生做太多的家庭作業(yè)。He always makes me laugh. 他總是使我笑。  7. shoulder-length hair 披肩長(zhǎng)發(fā)。length的意思是“長(zhǎng)度”，它的形容詞是long(長(zhǎng)的)。shoulder-length是合成詞，意思是“齊肩長(zhǎng)的”。  8. say a bad word about sb. 說某人的壞話 9. Max is ver

8、y good at telling jokes 麥克斯很擅長(zhǎng)說笑話。 Vocabulary good-looking 漂亮的。表示“漂亮”、“美麗”，有許多方式。如：pretty漂亮的，handsome英俊的（多指男子），beautiful美麗的Grammar 形容詞的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)：1.兩種比較級(jí)，意思不一樣。如：old (老的) - older (更老的) - oldest (最老的)old (老的) - elder (年長(zhǎng)的) - eldest (最年長(zhǎng)的)far (遠(yuǎn)的) - farther (更遠(yuǎn)的) - farthest (最遠(yuǎn)的)far (遠(yuǎn)的) - further (

10、新鮮時(shí)候最好。（不強(qiáng)調(diào)與別的蔬菜相比）It is a most interesting story. 這是一個(gè)最有趣的故事。（表示“非常”的意思）Integrated skillsone of “之一”常用結(jié)構(gòu)是one of+形容詞的最高級(jí)+名詞復(fù)數(shù),如在句中作主語,謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)One of the most popular singers in China is Zhou Jielun.重要短語Unit 11. be willing to do sth. 2. share sth. with sb.3. be ready to do sth. 4. help sb.
