重点句型

句型 1:现在进行时表将来(be doing for future plans)

  • 结构:主语 + am/is/are + doing(常配表示将来的时间状语)。
  • 例句(单元原文)
    • I’m travelling around Europe for two weeks with my aunt and uncle.
    • My parents are taking me to Hong Kong during the October holiday.
    • We ‘re taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins.
  • 使用条件:表示已经安排好、计划好的将来活动,多用于个人旅行计划、行程安排
  • 仿写:We are flying to Shanghai next Monday.

句型 2:It is amazing that … / It is hard to (do) … 形式主语

  • 例句(单元原文)It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.
  • 结构:It is + adj. + that 从句 / It is + adj. + to do。
  • 仿写:It is hard to imagine how the pyramids were built.

句型 3:so that … 以便 / 结果

  • 例句(单元原文):Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together.
  • 辨析:so that 表目的(从句常有 can/could/will)vs so … that … 表结果(so + adj./adv. + that 从句)。
  • 仿写:He got up early so that he could catch the train.

句型 4:spend time doing sth 花时间做

  • 仿写:Hangzhou is known for the West Lake.

核心语法

本单元语法焦点:现在进行时表将来(Present Continuous for Future Plans)

本单元 Discovering Useful Structures 的核心是:用”am/is/are + doing”表示已经安排好的将来计划,而不是表示”此刻正在做”。

一、基本用法

用法形式标志例句
表已经安排好的将来计划配将来时间状语(tomorrow, next week, this weekend, in December)We are meeting at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
表此刻正在做配 now, at the moment 或上下文I am reading a book now.

关键判断:看是否有明确的将来时间状语计划安排语境。如 “What are you doing this weekend?” 中 this weekend 是将来时间,故 are doing 表将来。

二、可与现在进行时表将来互换的结构

结构侧重点例句
be doing已经安排好的个人计划We’re leaving tomorrow.
be going to do打算/打算做;即将发生It’s going to be sunny tomorrow.
will do当场决定;预测;一般将来I’ll write again soon.

易错点:be doing 不能用于”客观事实、时刻表”的将来(如 The train leaves at 9:00. 用一般现在时);不能用于没有明确安排的”个人一时念头”(用 will)。

三、形式—意义—使用三步分析

以单元句 “My parents are taking me to Hong Kong during the October holiday.” 为例:

  1. 形式:are taking(现在进行时)。
  2. 意义:表”已经计划好”的将来动作,不是”正在带我去”。
  3. 使用:配将来时间状语 during the October holiday,强调计划性。

四、单元中表将来的多种结构对比

原文句结构是否表将来
I ‘m travelling around Europe for two weeks.be doing✓ 已安排的计划
I ‘ll visit my grandparents in December.will do✓ 一般将来/意愿
I ‘m going to drop it.be going to✓ 即将发生
She will apply for a visa soon.will do✓ 一般将来

课文原文阅读

以下保留教材 Reading and Thinking 的两类主阅读语篇:百科条目与旅游手册。建议先比较文体,再进入后面的结构和逐句分析。

Peru

Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.

In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.

Travel Peru

Amazon Rainforest Tour

A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.

Machu Picchu Tour

This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.

Cusco Tour

Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets.

Lake Titicaca Tour

Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake.

So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries-old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline.

教材写作示例原文:A Travel Plan to Xi’an

To: xl@youthlife.com
Subject: A travel plan to Xi’an

Dear Xiao Li,

My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army. I’ve heard that it is an amazing sight, and I can’t wait to go. To me, the story of the Terracotta Army is almost unbelievable. It’s amazing that there are more than 8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.

We’re also planning to visit several other places in Xi’an. My dad and I are both looking forward to going to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history and I have heard that this museum is known as a “Chinese treasure house”! We’re also going to the Xi’an City Wall and a few other famous sights.

We’re taking the train, leaving the day before the October holiday begins. We’re arriving at 9:30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep well on the train!

I guess that’s all for now! I’ll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for the coming holiday? Hope to hear from you soon.

Your friend,
Richard

配套阅读原文:Terracotta Army

Come and see the Terracotta Army: more than 8,000 statues were made in the third century BCE to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! Each statue has a different face, leading researchers to believe that each one is a copy of a real soldier. The statues fill only one part of the emperor’s huge tomb, which still has not been completely unearthed. More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb. However, no one in modern times knew about the tomb or the terracotta statues until 1974, when some farmers discovered the tomb while they were digging a well!

  • 语法主线:现在进行时表将来强调已经安排好的计划,常与具体时间、交通和行程安排同时出现。
  • 表达主线:旅行写作要交代目的、地点、活动、交通和情感,信息顺序要清楚,不能只堆景点名称。
