2) 在没有听懂对方的话，请对方重复一 下时也可说 pardon。

Step 2 Presentation
1) Show a picture of fun park. Ask students: Are you excited to try these in the fun park?
2) Show a ride to them and say: How do you think the ride? Is it fun or scary? Do you want to have a t
ry?
Step 3 Reading
1) Read the conversation in 3a quickly and true or false the sentences.
① Alice and He Wei are in Water World. ② The new ride looks scary.
③ Alice was scary at first. ④ Alice thinks the new ride is actually fun.
⑤ He Wei thinks Fun Times Park restaurant severs delicious food.

2. What is special about Uncle Bob’s restaurant?
3. Should Alice and He Wei get there early for dinner? Why?
Step 4 Practice
Underline the questions or statements in the conversation that ask for information. Rewrite them in a d
ifferent way.
e.g. I wonder where we should go next.
Could you tell me where we could go next?
Check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6 Language points
1. I was scared at first, but shouting did help.

29

此句相当于I was scared at first, but shouting really helped. 原句是一种表现强调的句式，英语中，
可用助动词do对谓语动词进行强调，构成强调句。
e.g. Please do be careful. 请一定小心。
I do agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。
He did warn you other day, remember? 他前两天就告诫过你，还记得吗？
2. You never know until you try something.
try的用法
1) 做名词 have a try 试一试
e.g. Why not have a try? 为什么不试一试？
2) 做动词
(1) try to do sth. 努力做某事
e.g. Well, we’ll try to finish the homework in time. 那好。我们争取及时完成作业。
(2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着去做某事
e.g. -- I usually go there by train. 我通常乘火车去那儿。
-- Why not try going by boat for a change? 为什么不换乘船呢?
(3) try one’s best 尽某人最大的努力
e.g. Thank you. I will try my best. 谢谢你。我会尽力而为的。
3. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.
suggest作动词，可意为“显示；间接表明”，后可接宾语从句。
e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man. 他的行为显示他是个好人。
suggest作“建议”讲时，应注意以下两点：
1) suggest doing sth. 建议做某事
e.g. I suggested going home. 我建议回家。
2) suggest后接从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，谓语由“should +动词原形”构成，should可以省略。
e.g. I suggested that we should go home. 我建议我们回家。
另外，suggestion是suggest的名词形式，作“建议”讲时，是可数名词。
e.g. Do you have any suggestions? 你有什么建议吗？
4. The restaurant is always busy, at that time so come a little earlier to get a table.
用于“就餐”的语境时，形容词busy相当于“吃饭人多；餐厅拥挤”的意思；动词短语to get a table
类似于汉语“定餐桌；占位子”等意思。

副词(when、where、why、how)。
语序：无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，也 无论主从句间是什么引导词，宾语从句一律
用陈述语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其它”。如：Cou ld you tell me where Wei Fang lives?
时态
1. 如果主句是一般现在时或一般将来时，宾语从句的时态不受限制，可根据实际表达的需要
来确定。如：
Jenny knows the man was flying a kite at that time.
You will understand why I did it one day. 总有一天你会明白我为什么那样做。
2. 如果主句是一般过去时，宾语从句用过去时态的某种形式。如：

Paragraph 1
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely (adv. 礼貌
地)….

2. Do you know where I can change some money, please? B

6. Let me know when you’re ready, OK? A home

Step 9 Language points
1. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
less + 形容词或副词，构成降级比较形式，相当于中文“不那么；稍许不……”之意。
e.g. His second movie is less interesting. 他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一 种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有
可能，也许会”，但语气更加委 婉，更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely. 他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】在 英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，
避免头重脚轻，通常用i t作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有
important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用
来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。如：It’s kind of you to say so.
Step 10 Exercises

Ⅲ. Grammar
一般过去时态的被动语态的构成
英语有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态 。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者，而被动语态则表
示主语是动作的承受者。如：
We cleaned the classroom yesterday. 我们昨天打扫了教室。
(主动语态，主语we是clean这一动作的执行者)
The classroom was cleaned yesterday. 教室昨天被打扫。
(被动语态，主语the classroom是clean这一动作的承受者)
一、一般过去时被动语态
一般过去时被动语态的结构为“主语+ was were +及物动词的过去分词 (+by+动作的执行者).”。
如：
Trees were planted last spring.
去年春天种了树。
1. 肯定句：
主语 + waswere +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他.
Paper was invented by Chinese people two thousand years ago. 纸是中国人在二千多年前发明
的。
2. 否定句：
主语 + waswere not +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他.
Women were not allowed to take part in the games at first. 开始妇女不允许参加奥运会。
3. 一般疑问句：
WasWere +主语 +及物动词的过去分词 + 其他?
Were these pictures drawn by your sister? 这些图片是由你妹妹画的吗？
二、被动语态的用法：
1. 不知道谁是动作的执行者，或没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者。
e.g. English is spoken all over the world. 全世界都在说英语。
2. 需要突出或强调动作的承受者。
e.g. This dictionary is used by most students. 这本字典是大多数学生在用的。
三、主动语态变被动语态应注意的问题
1. 有些短语动词相当于及物动词，变为被动句时介词或副词不能去掉。
They put off the meeting because of the weather.
The meeting was put off because of the weather.

80

会议因天气的缘故被推迟了。
2. 含有双宾语的主动句 变为被动句时，通常把指“人”的间接宾语变为主语，指“物”的直接宾语
保留不变；如果把指物”的直 接宾语变为主语，则在间接宾语前加to或for。
My aunt gave me an e-dictionary yesterday.
I was given an e-dictionary yesterday.
An e-dictionary was given to me yesterday.
3. 主动句中感官动词seehearwatchfeel等和使役动词makelethave等后跟省略to
的动词不定式，变为被动语态时应加上不定式符号to。
I saw a heavy man enter the house.
A heavy man was seen to enter the house.
4. 系动词、不及物动词或某些短语动词（happen, take place, come true, fall asleep…）没有被动
语态。
What happened to Mr. Brown? 布朗先生发生了什么事？
Ⅳ. Exercises
练一练

6. America was discovered by Columbus.
_______ Columbus discovered _________?
Ⅴ. Practice
Work on 4a:
1. Tell Ss to read the sentences in 4a and rewrite the sentences using the passive voice.
2. 做题方法点拨示例：
① 点拨：原句为一般过去时态，原句的谓语动词为sold，宾语为the fridge；改为被动语态
时，应将the fridge作主语，谓语动词用was sold的形式。
They sold the fridge at a low price. →
The fridge was sold at a low price.
② 点拨：分析原句的句子结构可知，stole是谓语动词，my camera是句子的宾语；改为被动
语态句时，应将my camera作句子主语，谓语动词用was stolen的形式。
Somebody stole my camera from my hotel room. →
My camera was stolen from my hotel room.
学生们自主将其他三个句子变成被动语态。

When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”
But I talked back again — “I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream.
And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the

英文的句子大 多主语在前，谓语在后。但在一些句子中，由于修辞或句子结构上的需要，谓
语被部分或完全置于主语之 前，构成“倒装语序”。
only用于句子的开头，后接副词、介词短语或状语从句时，句子应倒装。例如：
Only yesterday did he find out that his watch was lost. 直到昨天他才发现他的手表丢了。
Only after a year did I begin to see the results of my work. 直到一年后，我才开始看到我工作的
成果。
