I’m just as tired as you are! as ... as 意為 “和……一樣” ，表示同級(jí)的比較。使用時(shí)要注意第一個(gè)as為副詞，第二個(gè)as為連詞。其基本結(jié)構(gòu)為：as +?adj./?adv.?+ as。 e.g. This

20、?film?is?as?interesting?as?that?one. 這部電影和那部電影一樣有趣。 Your?pen?writes?as?smoothly?as?mine. 你的鋼筆書寫起來和我的一樣流暢。 as … as 的否定形式為 “not as/so + adj./adv. + as”。 e.g. He didn’t act as well as you. 他表現(xiàn)得不如你好。 3.

21、內(nèi)容也適用于另一個(gè)人或物，句子須采用部分倒裝。此時(shí)也可用nor替換 neither 使用。例如： — I?don’t?like?this?dress.?我不喜歡這件連衣裙。 — Neither?/?Nor?do?I.?我也不喜歡。 注意：neither 之后的主語(yǔ)要置于助動(dòng)詞或系動(dòng)詞之后。 neither 用作代詞，表示“兩者都不，雙方均不”。例如： He?answered?neither?of?the?letters.?他兩封信都沒回。 — Which?one?would?you?like??你喜歡哪一個(gè)？ — Neither. 兩個(gè)都不喜歡。? also, too, eit

22、her, neither 的用法 ?一、 also 是比較正式的用語(yǔ)，語(yǔ)氣較莊重。它通常放在句中，位于行為動(dòng)詞之前，連系動(dòng)詞之后; 如有助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，一般放在助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞之后。例如: Peter also has two brothers. 彼得也有兩個(gè)兄弟。 I am also a student. 我也是一名學(xué)生。 Mrs. Green can also sing the song in Chinese. 格林夫人也能用漢語(yǔ)唱這首歌。 二、 too 是普通用詞，多用于口語(yǔ)，語(yǔ)氣較隨便。一般用在肯定句中，放在句末。例如: I’m in Row 1, too. 我

23、也在第一排。 注意：also和too一般都用于肯定句，很少用于否定句。 三、either 表示“也”時(shí)，一般只用于否定句，且置于句末。例如: I don’t know him. Tom doesn’t know him, either. 我不認(rèn)識(shí)他，湯姆也不認(rèn)識(shí)他。 If you don’t go there, he won’t go there, either. 如果你不去那兒，他也不會(huì)去那兒。 注意：either 本身沒有否定的意義。所以多與 not 連用。 四、neither 表示“兩個(gè)都不”，它作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用單數(shù)。例如： Neither

24、 of you can do it. 你們兩個(gè)都不能做這件事。 Step 4 Summary 1. New words and expressions last month, come over take the dog for a walk, watch one show all the time, the next day, neither did I 2. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. For one week, she did not do a

25、ny housework, and neither did I. I’m just as tired as you are! Step 5 Homework Make a conversation between you and your mother, using the sentence pattern “Could you please …? Could I …?” Section A 3 (Grammar focus-4c) Step 1 Revision 根據(jù)所學(xué)內(nèi)容，寫出下列短語(yǔ)。 fold one’s clothes,

26、 do the dishes, use one’s computer, take out the rubbish make the bed, sweep the floor, stay out late, be angry with sb., take sb. for a walk clean the living room, work on, come over, do the housework, get a ride Step 2 Presentation 閱讀下列句子，觀察問句的用法及回答。 Could I go out for dinner with my

27、 friends? Sure, that should be OK. Could we get something to drink after the movie? No, you can’t. You have a basketball game tomorrow. Could you please take the dog for a walk? OK, but I want to watch one show first. Could you please take out the rubbish? Yes, sure. Step 3 Grammar

28、Could you（please）+ V-原形？表示委婉地提出請(qǐng)求 1. Could you please clean your room? Yes, sure. / Of course./ Certainly./All right. 2. Could you please do the dishes? Sorry, I can’t. I have to do my homework. 在表示請(qǐng)求幫助或請(qǐng)求允許的疑問句中，常用could代替can，以表示禮貌，委婉或不確定的語(yǔ)氣，而can則不具備這些語(yǔ)氣。這種情況下不能把could看作can的過去式。以上兩句中用could是為

29、了表示禮貌的請(qǐng)求。表示請(qǐng)求幫助或請(qǐng)求允許時(shí)，除了can, could之外，還可以用may，句子的表達(dá)方式也各有不同，可以用不同的方式來表示同一個(gè)概念。例： ① Could/Can/May I use your car for a day? ② I wonder if I could use your car for a day? 對(duì)于①、②句所作允答可以各種各樣，如同意可以說Yes或Sure或Certainly，還可說Yes, (do) please. 或Of course. (you may/can). 或Go ahead, please. 或That’s OK/all

30、 right; 如果不同意，可以說I’m sorry you can’t. 或I’m really sorry, but I have to use it today. 要避免說No, you can’t. 這樣顯得很不禮貌。否定回答通常用委婉語(yǔ)氣。 ③ Do you mind if I use your car for a day? 對(duì)于句③所作回答可以說Never mind. /Not at all. 表“不介意”。不能用Yes. /Sure. /Of course. /Certainly.等。無論肯定還是否定應(yīng)答中，要避免使用could，要用can或may。因?yàn)閼?yīng)答須用確定的語(yǔ)氣。

31、而could在表請(qǐng)求的問句中是為了表示禮貌或委婉語(yǔ)氣，用在應(yīng)答中則成了不確定語(yǔ)氣，與情理不符。所以應(yīng)答中不說Yes, you could. 或No, you couldn’t. 而要說Yes, you can. 或Sorry. /No, you can’t. —Could I please use your computer? —Sorry, I’m going to work on it now. —Well, could I watch TV? —Yes, you can. Could I/you please …？表示一種有禮貌的請(qǐng)求或提議，其后連接原形動(dòng)詞，比

32、Can you /I…？語(yǔ)氣更委婉。類似句型有： Would you like + sth. / to do sth.? May I + do sth.? Shall we + do sth.? Would you mind + sth. /doing sth.? What / How about + sth. /doing sth.? 肯定回答有Sure. /Of course. / Certainly. /OK. /Great. / Well. / Good idea. / I agree. 等。否定回答有Sorry… / No, you can’t

35、ading it last night. d. Yes, but don’t come back too late. e. No, I can’t. I cut my finger and I'm trying not to get it wet. Note： borrow和lend borrow和lend都有“借”的意思，但它們的含義和用法有所不同。 ★ borrow表示“借入”，即把本來不屬于自己的東西借來暫時(shí)使用，常與介詞from連用。如： You can borrow a book from the library.? ★ lend表示“借出”，即把屬于自己的東西借給

36、別人暫時(shí)使用，常與介詞to連用，也可以跟雙賓語(yǔ)。如： He’s going to lend his bike to Tom. You mustn’t lend others my pen.? 4b Fill in the blanks in the conversation. A: I hate to ____ chores.

49、ey think young people should do chores at home. Skim the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees? 了解閱讀策略： Skimming 意為“快速掠過，從中提取最容易取得的精華”。這種讀法包含有原詞的所有意思——快速讀過去，取出讀物中關(guān)鍵性的東西。因此，我們可以把這種讀法理解為快速瀏覽課文，領(lǐng)會(huì)文章大意。一般而言，通過標(biāo)題可知道文章的主題。對(duì)文章的首段和末段要多加注意，以便發(fā)現(xiàn)作者的觀點(diǎn)。 Answer the questions.

53、vide … for their children。我們也可將It is one’s job (duty, …) to do something.視為一個(gè)固定的句型, 表示“做某事是某人的工作(職責(zé)等)”。如: It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students. 把東西給學(xué)生講明白是每一位老師應(yīng)做的事情。 provide 作動(dòng)詞，意為“ 提供；供應(yīng)”。 provide sb. with sth.或provide sth. for sb.意為“為某人提供某物”。如： The movie th

55、逗號(hào)將其與句子的其他內(nèi)容隔開。anyway在此句中的作用是追加評(píng)論, 相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“反正; 仍然; 依然”。如: Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway. 薩姆沒有得到那份工作, 但他并沒有悶悶不樂, 反正薪酬也不算高。 anyway還可用來表示“不管怎樣; 無論如何”之意。例如: It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor. 這只不過是感冒, 但不管怎樣, 你還是應(yīng)該看看醫(yī)生。 3.
