Today was our first day to visit Moscow. The weather was fine and everyone
felt excited to visit some famous places in Russia.
In the morning, we went to the Victory Museum. The Russian people built
this museum to remember their fight against the Nazis during World
War II. As we walked through the halls, the tour guide told us stories about
the war.
In one hall, I saw an artwork with thousands of glass “tears” falling down. It
reminds us that war is terrible and peace does not come easily. We should
not forget that.
At noon, we had lunch at a restaurant near the park. I liked the ice cream
there, so I ate a lot of it. But, during dinner, I didn’t feel like eating because
I felt sick. So now, I just want to get a good night’s sleep.

It rained last night, so this morning the air was fresh and cool. I felt much
better today.
We took the Moscow Metro to travel around. The metro stations are really
beautiful. Sometimes I felt like I was walking inside a palace. After that, we
went to Red Square. It was fantastic!
In the afternoon, we arrived at a
schoo l and met a group of Russian
students. We played games and
soon became friends. Later,
someone took out his accordion,
and soon everyone got together to
sing and dance. We were so happy
that we didn’t notice the time. It

My Holiday in Scotland
Last autumn, my family took a train to Scotland
for a holiday. We stayed in a comfortable house
in the countryside with beautiful scenery. I live
in a big city, so everything seemed so different.
For example, beside the house, there was a huge
forest.
On the last day, early in the morning, I went to the
forest to explore. While there, something made a
noise. I turned around and was surprised to see a
deer.
I ran home and told my parents what I saw. My mum smiled and
said, “The deer is probably looking for food and hoping to get some
from you.” Wha t a wonderful experience I had! I really hope I can go
back again.

hometown!”
Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the

and then we chan ged to a bus to get to my grandparents’ village in the
evening. At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin standing
in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet them.
Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house.
“Ah, home again!” sa id Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma, my
aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were very
happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen to help.
“Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks?” Grandma asked
Grandpa.
I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school.
He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready, I
asked, “Can I help?”
“You can set the table,” Dad said.
We then enjoyed all the delicious food.
“Mm, the familiar taste of home!” said Mum.
During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good laugh.
Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands and
asked us, “Will you come home more often?”
Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Matt have similar hobbies and interests. For example, we both

but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey,
milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel?
Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment
you realize people, plants, and animals are
all connected. We need each other to live,
and bees are one of the best examples of this
connection.
Bee s are very hard-working animals, and their
greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit
50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with
them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per
cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists
believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesti ng
animals in the world. For example, they
work hard together to make their homes.
In order to store honey, they create
honeycombs. Another interesting thing
about bees is how they communicate.
When a bee finds new food, it uses a
dance to tell the others where and how far hhoonneeyyccoommbb
away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the
number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help,
and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of

What does cooking give us?
1a Discuss the questions.
1. What’s your favourite dish? Who often makes the dish for you?
2. What kind of food makes you happy?
1b Read the text and tick the best main idea.
Through food and cooking we create memories and show love to others.
It is fun to learn how to make food from other cultures.
I have wonderful memories of my grandmother’s kitchen.
Food for Thought
“Cooking is love made visible.” That is what my grandmother always told me.
Thanks to her, I love cooking. It’s a great way for me to share my love with
others. Every time I sit at the table, after cooking for my family, we create
memories. The smells and the food’s taste, along with our conversations,
connect us to each other. What wonderful memories I have!
One of my favourite memories is my grandmother’s pumpkin pie. She always
made it in autumn, when the weather got colder. Her friendly kitchen was
the perfect place to warm up and enjoy a taste of the changing seasons. I
still remember the days when the smell of cinnamon filled the room with
sweetness. Now, every time I smell cinnamon, I think of my grandmother’s
pumpkin pie.
My grandmother told me about her first pumpkin pie. When she was a
college student in the US, she stayed with a host family. One year around
Thanksgiving, the hostess taught her how to make a pumpkin pie. Many
years later, she taught me how to make it too.
Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Ingredients: eggs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, pumpkin, c ream, pie crust
Instructions:
First, mix the eggs.
Then, add the sugar, cinnamon, salt, pumpkin, and cream.
Next, pour the mixture into the pie crust.
After that, place the pie in the oven and cook for 40 to 50 minutes.
Finally, let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving.
46 UNIT 5My grandmother loved learning how to make food from other cultures. “It’s my

the secret to cooking: Cook with love. Thanks to my grandmother, I love to try
new food and new recipes from other countries and cultures.

D. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions.
Making Resolutions
Do you know what a resolution is? A resolution is a promise that you
make to yourself. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most
common kind is a New Year’s resolution.
Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health.
For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more
healthily. People might decide they are going to
take up a hobby, like paintin g or photography. And some resolutions
have to do with self-improvement, like becoming more confident or
organized.
Although there are differences, most resolutions
have one thing in common: people hardly ever
keep them! But there are good reasons for this.
Sometimes the reso lutions may be too difficult to
keep. And sometimes people just forget about them.
To make your resolutions work, you need to plan
them wisely. Always make sure your resolution
is possible to achieve. Don ’t set a goal that is too
difficult or too much for you.
And if you don’t want to forg et your resolutions,
write them down. Also, talk about them with your
family and friends. Encourage them to remind you
of your goals. So what resolutions are you going to
make? How are you going to keep them?

our lives by learning something new, forming
good habits, working harder at something, or
even improving our relationships with others.
I hope to make next year better than this one, so I am going to make three
resolutions.
The first one is about taking up a new hobby. I am going to join the school
music club to improve my singing! I think singing is a great activity. And my
friends and family all love my singing.
I am also going to get fitter. Besides jogging, I am going to do push-ups and
sit-ups. I feel energeti c after I exercise. I’m sure I’m going to be a healthier and
happier person.

Host: G ood evening, everyone! Our guest today is Dr Pete Roberts,
author of the best-selling book Ready for Tomorrow. So welcome to
our s how, Dr Roberts.
Guest: Good evening. Thank you, it’s a pleasure to be here.
Host: Dr Roberts, thank you for joining us. So, as a futurist, can you tell
us how life will be different in 50 years?
Guest: Well, you’ll see robots working everywhere.
Host: Can you give us some examples?
Guest: Well, we’ll have service robots. They will do almost all our housework.
They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies
happen.
Host: So, what jobs will humans still do in the future?
Guest: Good question! Some jobs today will disappear in the coming
years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future,
such as space pilots and AI experts.
Host: Do you think robots will replace humans one day?
Guest: No, I don’t. Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important
for relationships. AI will not replace humans for these things.
Host: You mentioned AI. How will AI change our world?
Guest: It will change the world in many ways. Fo r example, we won’t need to
go to the supermarket. Smart refrigerators will understand our needs.
When we are almost out of some food, they will order it for us.
Host: Wow, that’ll save us a lot of time! Now, my last question: How can
we prepare for the future?

My Dreams for the Future
What will my life be like in 20 years? It’s not
an easy question, but here are a few of my
predictions. I love art, so I think I will become
an artist. I want to study art in France,
and then I will visit all the famous art
museums. I will learn a lot about different
artists and their works of art, and I will
create my own too.
As an artist, I will live in the countryside
and stay close to nature. There will be
flowers and plan ts around my home.
Life there will give me good ideas for
making art. At the w eekend, I will invite
friends to drop in and have fun together.
I believe these dreams will come true as

How to Make a Better Conversation
Do you get nervous when you talk to someone? Do you find it hard to have
a conversation with a stranger? If you have such worries, it is time for you to
learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better
conversations.
1. Listen carefully an d show interest in others. One of the most important things
is to listen to the person you speak to. If you are a good listener, you will find
some good points to ask questions about. For example, if someone tells you
their hobby and you can ask questions about it, they will surely be happy to
continue the conversation.
2. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics
might be the weather, sports, music, films, food, or
travel. However, it is impolite to ask someone’s age,
weight, or other personal inform ation. Also, if you
don’t agree with others, don’t argue with them. Just
move on to another topic.
3. Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a
subject, just say “I don’t know much abo ut it.” If you
want to make the other person happy, mention
his or her strong points. But don’t just pret end to
be nice, because people can find out you are not
telling the truth.
4. Pay attention to your body language. Sometimes it
is just as important as your words. Don’t be nervous.
Stand up straight, smile, and be yourself—you have
a lot to offer.
If you really work at it, you will find having conversations much easier.

Holiday Experiences
Lin Tao
My best h oliday experience was two years ago. My family
lives in Wuhan, the biggest city in Central China. That
summer, I de cided to do something cool: cycling from
Wuhan to Beijing with some friends from college. My
parents were surprised at my idea, but soon they gave me
all their support. With their help, I made a cycling plan.
I also learnt a lot from other people’s cycling experiences. I packed everything I
needed and started the trip. The cycling took us almost a month to complete. It
was tiring but worthwhile. I saw beautiful mountains, forests, and rivers. I met
a lot of nice people, and some of them gave me a lot of help along the way. But
there were also difficulties, and sometimes I just wanted to give up. However,
when I finally arrived at Tian’anm en Square, I was so proud of myself.
Amanda
My best holiday experience was when I learnt to
scuba dive. My family and I went to a town beside
the ocean. At first, I took some classes to learn how to
scuba dive safely. I practised in a swimming pool for
a few days. Then, I lived on a boat for a week in order
to do scuba diving in the ocean. Every day, I went
scuba diving with a guide. I saw so many colourful fish, amazing sea animals,
and fantastic coral everywhere. While I was diving, another diver pointed, and
I realized there was a baby shark near me. It was a stunning experience, and I
will never forget it!

Anne’s Decision
(Adapted from Lucy Montgomery’s Anne of
Green Gables)
Anne was adopted by Marilla when she was little.
They lived happily together on a farm called Green
Gables. Now Anne is going to a university out of
town, but Marilla gets sick …
Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table. She looked tired.
“Are you OK, Marilla?”
“I saw the doctor,” Marilla said sadly. “But it’s no good talking about it, Anne.
Can you get me a cup of tea?”
“Could you tell me what the doctor said?” Anne asked softly as she brought tea
to Marilla.
82 *Reading Plus“He said I must give up all reading, sewing, and farming, or I will go blind.”
“Marilla, don’t think of it,” said Anne. “There is still hope.”
“I don’t know,” said Marilla. “I’m afraid I have to sell Green Gables.”
Anne was surprised. “Oh, Marilla, you can’t! It’s our home!”
“What else can I do, Anne? I’m sorry you won’t have a home to come to during
your university holidays.” Marilla began to cry.
That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart. But
before long, there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart.
The next day, she spoke with Marilla. “You mustn’t sell Green Gables. I’m going to
teach here. I can’t leave you alone, Marilla. I’ll read to you. We’ll be happy together.”
“Oh, Anne, you can’t do that for me.”
“But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home.”
“But your dreams ...”
“My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher, and to help you stay healthy.
Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it.”
Most people, not k nowing about Marilla’s eyes, thought Anne was foolish.
Mrs Lynde, their neighbour, did not. She often found Anne and Marilla sitting
outside their home. They liked sitting there at dusk, when the smell of flowers filled
the air.

Four Brothers
(Adapted from Grimm’s Fairy Tale)
Once upon a time, there were four brothers.
“I can see farther than anyone,” the first brother said. “At the top of that
tree, there are five eggs in a nest.”
“I am faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat,” said the
second brother. He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back.
The bird never noticed it.
“I can shoot better than all of you,” said the third. He then shot a leaf
above the nest.
The fourth brother said, “I can sew anything together, even something as
soft as that leaf.” In no time, the leaf was as good as new.
Not long after, the king’s daughter was taken away by a dragon. The king
said whoever brought the princess back could marry her.
The first brother said, “I see her! She is far away, on a rock at sea, with the
dragon.” So the brothers sailed to the rock.
The third brother said, “I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon.”
“Leave it to me,” said the second brother. He moved as quietly as a mouse
and quickly freed the princess.
Suddenly, the dragon began to chase them. The third brother shot it, but
its fall broke their ship. Luckily, the fourth brother took his needle and sewed
the ship together. Then they sailed home safely.
The happy king asked, “Which of you will marry my daughter?” The
brothers began to argue. Each brother believed tha t he did more than the
others. Finally, the king said, “Each of you is as good as the others, but you are
much stronger together. Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward.”
The brothers were pleased. It was much better to share than to fight.

The Brave Homing Pigeon
(Adapted from Ernest Seton’s Animal Heroes)
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, 1862.
The captain sighed. This was the thickest fog he had ever seen. They were over
330 kilometres from the closest land, so he didn’t know where to go. The ship was on
its way to Europe. Just ten hours ago they left New Yo rk, but now the engine stopped
working. Clearly, they needed help!
Suddenly, the captain remembered the homing pige ons. He ran to them quickly,
wrote a message for help, and tied it to Big Blue’s leg. Big Blue flew up and then
returned almost right away.
The captain became more worried.
*Reading Plus 85“You are our last hope, little guy,” said the captain as he tied a note to Arny, the
smaller and younger of the two pigeons. The captain threw him into the air. Arny flew
around and around, higher and higher. Soon, the bird was away from the ship, and
the captain couldn’t see Arny anymore.
“T hat’s a good sign,” said the captain with more hope.
Almost 340 kilometres away, Billy heard fast-moving wings come into his building
and go stra ight to the water bowl.
“Hi there, little guy. Well, aren’t you the thirstiest bird!” Billy smiled. Then he
saw the note.
Billy knew what to do. He took the note, running as fast as he could to the
company office. There, he learnt Arny had flown in fog and over the sea, for more
than four hours.
Thanks to Arny, people sent help to the ship.
The captain later explained, “Arny really is the most amazing bird!”

The History of Pizza
Do you know pizza is one of the most popular fast foods in the world? In fact, around
the world, people eat 5 billion pizzas every year! But where did pizza come from and
what makes it so popular? Read on to find out.
Thousands of years ago, the Greeks, Italians, and Persians started putting vegetables,
oil, cheese, and other things on flat bread. The ingredients depended on the area,
but there was one thing in common: Everyone put the toppings on some type of
bread. This was the ancient form of “pizza”.
Our modern pizza goes back to the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. They put
cheese and olive oil on bread. In the 1700s, a pizza with tomato sauce and cheese
became popular in Naples, Italy. Later, Italians brought the pizza to America, and
then it became a popular food all over the world, with different pizzas from different
places.
Photographs of movie stars and famous athletes with pizza helped it become more
and more popular, and that led to competitions. Today, we have the World Pizza
Games. There are also all kinds of world records. For example, in 2017, there was a
new record for the world’s longest pizza. It was over 1.9 kilometres long!
Today, pizza is popular all over the world, an d different places have their own local
pizzas. So do you like eating or cooking pizza? What is your favourite pizza style?

The Ant and the Grasshopper
(Adapted from Aesop’s Fables)
It was summertime. The ant and the grasshopper
were in the farmer’s field. The ant was busy collecting
corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun.
“Hey, Ant, come sit with me,” said the grasshopper.
“No, thanks,” said the ant. “I have to take this corn
home. I’m preparing for the winter.”
A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn
home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around.
“Come on, Ant!” said the grasshopper. “Dance with me!”
“No,” replied the ant. “I’m going to get more corn. Why d on’t you join me? You
should plan for the winter.”
“But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let’s
have a picnic!”
“No, thanks, Grasshopper. I’m going to continue with my boring work.”
88 *Reading PlusThe grasshopper was silent for a
while, but then he happily danced away.
The ant looked tired, but she felt happy
when she saw all the food in her kitchen.
The autumn arrived and the weather
became cool and windy. The grasshopper
ran around the farm singing songs. The
poor ant had to fight her way through the
wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood.
“Ant, it’s too windy to work!” said the
grasshopper. “Come and sing with me!”
“No, thanks, Grasshopper. There’s just a little bit more work for me to do. I want
to be warm in the winter.”
And then the cold winter came. The ant sat at home by her fire, enjoying some
lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door.
“Oh, dear Ant,” said the grasshopper, “you must help me! I have no food! And

Looking into the Future
Are you curious about the future? What do you think our life will be like in 50 years
or more? To answer this, you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas
then. Today, many young readers are interested in science fiction. But what makes it
so popular?
For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like.
Anything is possible . We can dream big. Some people think there will be flying cars and
robot servants. Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds.
Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future.
In 1945, a sci-fi author named Arthur C. Clarke wrote about a system of space stations.
In the article, he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and
people would send TV program mes around the world. However, this was before TV
was a common item at home! In a short story by Clarke, he suggested people in the
future would use a system to talk with others around the world. Amazingly, the short
story was actually the inspiration for the internet!
Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new
ways. Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary worlds or societies, they can
help us better understand the real world. They can also make us excited when we feel
like we are living in a boring world.
What will the future be like? Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it
could be like.

Ho w to Stay Safe Online
No matter whether you like it or not, social media is becoming a big part of many
teenagers’ lives. The internet is popular among youth people in China. According to
a survey by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, over 90 per cent
of all Chinese minors use the interne t and 50 per cent of these young people have
made new friends online.
Social media allows people to connect with friends, share experiences, and stay on
trend. However, the internet also has risks. It is important to stay safe while having
fun online. Here are some simple tips.
First, if you have accounts on different apps, make sure you use strong passwords.
Avoid using easy-to-guess information, like your birthday or your pet’s name.
Second, be careful when you talk to strangers online. Not every person online is
friendly or telling the truth about themselves. Don’t shar e personal details, like your
address, school name, or phone number.
Third, if you want to post anything online, think it over. Once it is out there, it is hard
*Reading Plus 91to know who sees it. Don’t talk about things you may regret.
Lastly, keep your social media profiles private so only real friends can see your posts
and information.

Your parents and teachers want the best for you. Be aware of the risks and protect
yourself.

Sometimes my friends and I argue but don’t know how to make up. What’s the
best way to communicate in this situation?
Professor: If you want to solve the problem, a face-to-face talk usually works the best.
Jason: I understand, but meeting in person is not always easy.
Professor: If you can’t meet, just call your friend. Some of you may prefer texting, but it
takes longer and can make things worse if you’re not careful with your words.
Jason: But what if we argue more over the phone?
Professor: If you stay calm and say sorry, it will help. If it is still hard to talk, take a break.
Meet when you’re both ready.
Jason: I’ll call and try to meet. Because friendship is important. Thanks for the advice!
Professor: You’re welcome.
LLiisstteenniinngg SSccrriippttss 110011Pronunciation
一 、句子重音 ( Sentence Stress)
在英语句子中,实词(如名词、动词、形容词、副词等)承载重要信息,一般需要
重读;而充 当语法功能的词(如冠词、连词、介词、助动词等)一般弱读。但这条读音
规律并非一成不变,句子中的重音可以随着说话者要表达的意思的变化而变化。例如:
Please pass me the ʹbook.( 强调把“书”递给我,而不是把别的东西给我)
Please pass the book to ʹme.( 强调把书递给“我”,而不是给其他人)
A: I think she will win.
B: She ʹwon’t.( 预测她“不会”赢)
A: She ʹwill.( 坚信她一定“会”赢)
一般情况下,me、will 等功能词在句中弱读,但在上述情境中这两个词需要重读。
二、弱读(Weak Form)
在英语语流中,说话者一般会遵循省力原则,弱读不太重要的功能词,给听者的印
象是某些词一带而过,甚至含混不清。实际上,这种听觉上的模糊读音有规律可循。了
解弱读的一些基本规律,一方面有助于我们准确理解语流中的弱读音,另一方面在自己
表达时也能尽量做到强弱得当。
表1 常见功能词的弱读形式
a /ə/ am /əm/ from /frəm/
an /ən/ are /ə/ have /həv; əv/
you /jə; jʊ/ do /də/ has /həz; əz/
them /ðəm/ does /dəz/ had /həd; əd/
her /hə; ə/ and /ənd; ən/ can /kən/
us /əs/ but /bət/ could /kəd/
there /ðə/ for /fə/ m ust /məst; məs/
根据表中例词可以看出,这些功能词的元音一般会弱化为/ə/。
三、意群(Sense Group)
意群是句子内部意义相对完整的一组词。意群的界限是相对的。一个句子可以是一
个大意群,也可分为若干个小意群,句子内的意群之间停顿时间较短,用一根竖直线
110022 Pronunciation()标出。句子和句子之间的停顿时间较长,用两根竖直线( )标出。例如:
Home is a place of love. It always welcomes me with open arms —and perhaps a plate
of freshly-made biscuits.
每个意群要一口气说完。在说每个意群时,要注意词与词之间的连读、不完全爆破
和词的弱读等现象。
四、语调(Intonation)
英语有两种最基本的语调,即降调和升调。降调的基本意义是“肯定”和“完结”,
通常用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、选择疑问句的后半部分、祈使句和感叹句等。升调的基
本意义是“不确定”和“未完结”,可表示犹豫、怀疑、婉转、含蓄、试探等含义。升调
通常用于一般 疑问句、陈述句表示疑问的各类句子,以及表示意思未完的各种情况。升
调可以用于说话者不能确定信息是否准确,需要对方核实的情况。例如:
A: I’m putting the mixture into the oven. What temperature and time should I set?
B: 160 degrees, 50 minutes.
A: 160 degrees? 50 minutes?
B: Exactly.
在列举事物时,前面的各件事物都用升调,最后一件事物用降调。例如:
The family enjoy outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, hiking,
boating, and camping.
同一句话用不同语调表达时, 意义也会有所不同。
Be quiet.( 表示命令)
Be quiet.( 表示善意的警告)
I’m sorry.( 比较随意)
I’m sorry.( 比较真诚)
You will go to the party, won’t you? ( 说话人不太确定,提出问题让对方回答)
You will go to the party, won’t you? ( 说话人比较确定,提出问题让对方确认)
PPrroonnuunncciiaattiioonn 110033Grammar
一 、不定代词(Indefinite Pronouns)
不指明代替任何特定名词或形容词的代词叫作不定代词。常见的不定代词如下:
some 一些 one 一个(人或物)
somebody某人 another另外一个;又一个
someone某人 other(s)另一个(些)
something某事;某物 all 全体;全部
any 一些;任何 both两个(都)
anybody任何人 each每个
anyone任何人 either任何一个(指两个当中)
anything任何事物 neither没人或物(指两个当中)
nobody无人 none没人或物(指两个以上)
no one无人 many很多
nothing无物 much很多
everybody每人;大家;人人 few很少;几乎没有
everyone每人 a few 一些;几个
everything每一件事物;一切 little很少;几乎没有
a little 一些;一点儿
不定代词大都可以代替名词和形容词,在句子中用作主语、宾语、定语等。关于不
定代词的用法,需要注意以下几点:
1. some和any
这两个代词既可代替或修饰可数名词,也可代替或修饰不可数名词。some多用于肯
定句,any则多用于否定句、疑问句和条件从句。例如:
A: Are there any apples in the fridge?
B: Yes, there are some. / No, there aren’t any.
A: Is there any water in the bottle?
B: Yes, there is some water. / No, there isn’t any water.
但是,在“Would you like some tea?”这类疑问句中则用some,而不用any,这是
因为说话人希望得到对方肯定的答复。
110044 Grammar2. many和much
这两个词均表示“很多”,但many只代替或修饰可数名词复数,而much只代替或
修饰不可数名词。例如:
In the future, many people will live in outer space.
There isn’t much water left in the bottle.
I’m afraid the kids spend too much time online.
3. few与a few; little和a little
few与 a few代替或修饰可数名词复数;little与a little代替或修饰不可数名词。few
和little的意思是“很少;几乎没有”,侧重“否定”的含义;a few和a little的意思是
“一些”, 侧重“ 肯定” 的含义。例如:
We stayed in the old town for a few days.
Don’t worry. There is a little time left.
Few people know what happened.
There is now little hope of success.
4. 复合不定代词
由some、any、no、every加上-body、-one、-thing构成的不定代词叫作复合不定
代词。除了no one以外,其他复合不定代词都写成一个词。复合不定代词只相当于名词,
在句中用作主语、宾语或表语。复 合不定代词作主语时,都作单数看待。例如:
Everyone says Yulong Mountain is beautiful.
Nobody knows what the future will be like.
I’m on vacation in Hangzhou and everything is fantastic.
复合不定代词如果有定语修饰,定语须置于复合不定代词之后。例如:
Did you do anything fun on your holiday?
I did nothing special.
Yesterday, I met someone interesting.
二、形容词和副词的比较级与最高级(Comp arative and Superlative Forms
of Adjectives and Adverbs)
大多数形容词和副词有三个等级:原级,即原形;比较级,表示“较……”或
“更……一些”;最高级,表示“最……”。

sister.
表示两者(人或事物)的比较。在“比较
级+ than”的句型中,当than前后所使用 You know more about yourself
比较级
的动词相同时,通常用助动词代替后面的 than I (do).
动词。该助动词也可以省略。
He works much harder than me.
(口语中一般用me)
The blue whale is the largest and
表示三者或三者以上(人或事物)的比
heaviest animal in the world.
较,其中有一个在某一方面超过其他几
个,后面可用带有of、in、among的短语 In my country, July is the hottest
最高级
等来说明比较的范围。形容词最高级的前 month of the year.
面一般要加定冠词the,副词最高级前的
The cheetah runs (the) fastest
the可以省去。
among all land animals.
注:在形容词和副词的比较级前,可以用much、a little等修饰。例如:
I’m feeling much bett er today.
My brother is a little taller than me.
3. “as + 形容词或副词原形 + as”句型

句型。例如:
It is not as / so warm today as yesterday.
He did not come as / so early as Wang Lin.
三、情态动词( Modal Verbs)
情态动词can / could

Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more
challenging jobs in the future.
What will your life be like in 20 years?
在口语中,will常缩略为’ll,will not常缩略为won’t /wəʊnt/。在表示“带意愿色彩
的将来”时,常用助动词will。例如:
I will tell you all about it.
当主语为第一人称(I或we)时,也可用助动词shall。例如:
Shall we go to see the sci-fi film?
在书面语中,当主语为第一人称(I或we)时,也可用助动词shall,表达比较正式。
例如:
I shall write you a letter next month.
但在口语中,所有人称都可以用will。
注:“be going to + 动词原形”也可表示将要发生的动作或安排,或打算、计划、决
定要做的事。例如:
