Unit 2 词汇篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
学生通过本讲学习，能够掌握本单元的重点词汇句型，并在综合能力上有一定的拓展。
1. at the same time 同时
在时间状语，句首，句中，句末都可以
You have to push and twist at the same time. 你必须要同时向下按而且转一下。
At the same time, inequality has become worse. 同时不平等现象变得更严重了。
Now, many aim to release films at the same time around the world.
现在，很多瞄准发表的电影同时在全世界发表。
2. hear…doing/do hear 后既可以接动名词也可以接动词原形。区别在于被听到的动作是否在进行
中。例如：I can hear him play the piano every day.
I heard him playing the piano at 18:00 yesterday evening.
3. either…or… 不是…就是
either...or...意为"或者……或者……；不是……就是……"之意。表示两者之一，连接句子中两个并列
的成分。例如： When the girl is happy, she either sings or dances. 那个女孩高兴时，不是唱就是跳。(此
句中either...or...连接两个动词，因为主语是单数第三人称，谓语动词要用其相应的形式。) either...or...
连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的"就
近原则"。例如： Either you or I am going there tomorrow. 明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。 注意：如
果把上句变成一般疑问句，助动词形式与主语you 保持一致，所以要用are 提问，而不是am。例如：
Are either you or I going there tomorrow? 明天是你还是我去那里？ Either you or he has lunch at
school. 其一般疑问句应为：Do either you or he have lunch at school? 是你还是他在学校吃午饭？ 若要
对either...or...句型进行否定时，只需把either...or...换成neither...nor...即可。
4. How about doing sth 做…怎么样?
What about doing = How about doing
5. from…to 从…到….

A
Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have found that trees can communicate with each
other. Not long ago, scientists found some surprising things. A willow tree(柳树) was attacked(被侵袭) by
caterpillars(毛毛虫). At first it changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the
caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more surprising, the tree sent out a
special smell-a signal(信号) causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make
them less delicious.
Communication, of course, doesn't need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising
our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs,
sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain ways that tell other bees where to find
flowers for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending messages?
1.We can know from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ._________
A．have a terrible taste
B．are lying on the ground
C．have a strange shape
D．bees don't like

A．grow more branches

______________________.

4.How can bees communicate with their partners?
A．By touching one another.
B．By smelling one another
C．By making special movements.
D．By making unusual sounds.

A．cannot be considered carefully
5
B．seems rather reasonable(合情合理的)
C．should no longer be allowed

B
A Xiangtan teenager has received a phone bill for over 350 yuan after sending 3,500 text messages in
just one month.
Tan Wei has had new mobile phone for only three months, but now his father has taken it away. "He
has been asking me for years because his friends have got one," explained Tan Wei's father. "I finally
bought one for his birthday because he has been doing so well at school, but he and his friends are crazy
about sending text message. They do it all the time."
Tan Wei said, "I thought texting was much cheaper than phoning, so I've been texting my friends all
day long and even into the early hours of the morning. Sometimes my fingers hurt because I pressed the
buttons(按键) so much, but I was having such good fun that I couldn't stop!"
His father said, "I am angry with the phone company as they are encouraging this crazy behaviour."
He has made his son promise to pay back the money, so Tan Wei has been working on Saturdays. He has
found a part-time job in a shoe shop. I think it will take me about half a year to clear this debt( 债务) he
said.

Animals, including insects, do not have a language like ours. They do not talk to each other in words
and sentences. But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.
Can you see the rabbit's tail which is moving up and down? When rabbits see this white tail moving up
and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without
making a sound. It has done this by using its body language.
Many other animals use this kind of language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its hood and makes
itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. It
cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This
tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A
6
cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes
we human beings speak in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah!” when we are frightened or
pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
But we have something that no animals have—a large number of words that have the meanings of
things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other all kinds of different information in words
and sentences, which no other animals can do. No other animals have so wonderful a language as we have.
