Post-readingLearnthelanguagepoints1.Ourownplanet,theEarth,isbecomingmoreandmorecrowdedandpolluted

becauseoftherapidincreaseinpopulation.moreandmore用來加強程度，意為“越來越……”。e.g.越來越年輕

越來越快

越來越好

越來越細心

越來越舒服youngerandyoungerfasterandfasterbetterandbettermoreandmorecarefulmoreandmorecomfortablePost-readingatthespeedof意為“以……速度”。類似的短語：atthepriceof意為“以……的價格”。atahighprice意為“高價”。atalowcost意為“低成本”。atfull/highspeed意為“全速/高速”。e.g.那天晚上他以每小時200千米的速度駕駛。

_________________________________________________________汽車正高速行駛。

分數表達法：分子用基數詞，分母用序數詞，如果分子大于1，分母要用復

數形式。注意：分數做主語，謂語動詞的單復數由名詞決定。二分之一通常

用ahalf來表示，而四分之一通常用aquarter,也可用afourth，四分之三通常

用threequarters或threefourths來表示。e.g.我們班五分之三是女生。_____________thestudentsinmyclass_______girls.三分之一的水是臟的。_____________thewater_____dirty.ThreefifthsofareOnethirdofisPost-reading4.Atpresent,ourspacecraftaretooslowtocarrylargenumbersofpassengersto

Mars—itwouldtakemonths.too…to…意為“太……而不能……”，注意和…so…that...can’t...,...adj.+enoughtodo...的句型轉換。e.g.Sandy太小了而不能去上學。Sandyistooyoungtogotoschool.Sandyissoyoungthatshecan’tgotoschool.Sandyisnotoldenoughtogotoschool.Post-reading5.Everystudentwouldhaveacomputerathomeconnectedtoaninterplanetarynetwork.connect…to…意為“把……連接在……上，……與……連在一起”。此處connectedtoaninterplanetarynetwork是過去分詞短語，作后置定語修飾名詞computer。computer與connect是動賓關系，故動詞用過去分詞形式。如果被修飾的名詞與動詞之間是主謂關系，則用該動詞的現在分詞形式。e.g.連接上海和天津的鐵路正在建設中。

___________________________________________________________TherailwayconnectingShanghaitoTianjinisunderconstructionnow.Post-readingaswellas意為“不但……而且，既……又”。注意這一短語在翻譯成中文時，應先aswellas后面的內容，再翻譯前面的。e.g.Theyvisitedthemuseumaswellasthezoo.
