An increasing number of foreign students are learning Chinese in China. What
do they think about their language learning in China? Here is an interview
with some of them.
Leonardo: I am from Italy. Some schools in my hometown have
Chinese lessons. We learn a lot of grammar, but we don’t have
many chances to speak Chinese. Now in China, I’m learning more
about Chinese history and culture, and I speak Chinese every
day.
Emily: I am from America. In my hometown, we only have two
Chinese lessons each week. It’s not enough. Here, I have Chinese
lessons every day and speak Chinese all the time. This experience
helps me understand China much better.
Mira: I am from South Korea. I am majoring in Chinese. You know,
teachers and students in my hometown speak Chinese with strong
Korean accents. The situation here is quite different. Now I have
some Chinese friends. We chat with each other in Chinese. I am doing
my best to improve my Chinese pronunciation.
Reiko: Here in China, teachers teach us in Chinese. However, in
Japan, most classes are taught in Japanese, even Chinese classes. The
teachers here are friendly and helpful. Now I am busy reading some
Chinese classic works. I am getting a deeper understanding of China.

Good morning from Chengdu in Sichuan Province. It’s a cool spring morning in April.
It’s raining heavily today, and the temperature is around 20°C. Many people are staying
in today. It’s a good day to do indoor activities. But look behind me! A few people are
still outside. They’re hurrying towards the nearby buildings to hide from the rain. It’s
important to carry an umbrella or pack a raincoat today.

It is a bright sunny day and you’re ready to go to
school. However, your mother tells you, “Take
your umbrella. It’s going to rain this afternoon.”
How does she know this? From the weather
report! Thanks to Zhu Kezhen, a great Chinese
meteorologist, we have a better understanding of
the weather through weather reports.
Zhu Kezhen is the founder of modern meteorology
in China. He was interested in changes of nature
from an early age. In 1910, he went to the United States to study meteorology.
After he finished his studies there, he declined to teach in American universities
and returned to China. Thanks to his efforts, we Chinese were later able to
have our own weather reports.
Zhu Kezhen made it a habit to observe the weather every day. Rain or shine,
Zhu got up early every day and walked outside with his diary in hand. He
observed the clouds and wind carefully and recorded them in his diary. He kept
recording his observations
for over 50 years. Even on
the final day of his life, he
recorded in the hospital,
“Clear to cloudy, east wind
1–2.”
Although Zhu passed away
in 1974, he will never be
forgotten. His spirit will be
remembered forever.

Today we went on a school trip to a farm! It was tiring but great
fun! In the morning, we explored the farm. There were large tents
with tomatoes, cucumbers, and many other fruits and vegetables.
The farmer told us about how these fruits and vegetables go from
the fields to our tables. I was very interested because I usually
only see them in the supermarket.
Then we got straight to work! First, we picked some strawberries.
The work seemed easy, but it took time to get it right. Slowly, we
filled many baskets. In the afternoon, the farmer taught us how
to cut branches and leaves from tomato plants. This helps them
to grow more fruit. Finally, we watered the plants. Plants need so
much work! It was tiring, but I enjoyed working with my hands.

take some vegetables home. My mum cooked
some for dinner, and they were fresh and
delicious! They certainly taste better when

On 17 February, 2021, Zhang Guimei was awarded the Touching China Person
of the Year title for her contributions to improving girls’ education in remote
rural areas. Her love and care for her students deeply moved many Chinese.
Zhang Guimei is the highly respected founder and headmaster of Huaping
Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. She was born in
Heilongjiang Province in 1957. At the age of 17, she moved to Yunnan to
support the development of the country’s border regions. When working as
a teacher at a local school, Zhang noticed that many girls were unable to go
to school because they had to work
and earn money to support their
families. To change this, she decided
to set up a free high school for these
girls. Zhang worked hard to raise
money and hire teachers. In 2008,
she founded China’s first free senior
high school for girls with government
support. Since then, the school has
helped about 2,000 students to go to
university.
“An educated girl can change the
destiny of three generations in a
family,” Zhang said. “An educated and
responsible mother will never allow
her daughter to drop out of school.”

The Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time, there was a mother duck. She had
six little ducklings. Five of the ducklings were small
and yellow, but the last duckling was big and grey. “He
doesn’t look like us! What an ugly duckling!” the other
ducklings said. “That’s not nice!” said Mother Duck. “He’s still a duck like us!”
In the river, the ugly duckling swam well, just like all the other ducklings. But
the other ducklings still laughed at him and told him to go away. It made the
poor duckling very sad, so he decided to search for a new home. He met many
other birds, but all of them thought that he was ugly too. They did not want him
to live with them.
One day, the duckling met a cat and a hen. “May I stay with you?” he asked
hopefully. But the two animals said no. They did not like him because he could
not purr or lay eggs!
Some days later, the ugly duckling came to a lake. There, he saw three beautiful
swans with long necks and white feathers. “I wish I looked like you!” he cried.
“My friend, you do look like us! Look in the water!” one of the swans said. The
duckling looked down, and to his surprise, he saw that he was a beautiful white
swan too!

The Monkey King, also known as Sun Wukong, is a popular character both in
China and around the world. He is the main character in the famous Chinese
novel Journey to the West. He is not an ordinary monkey. In fact, sometimes
he doesn’t even look like a monkey! This is because he can change into 72
different forms, including different animals and objects. To fight against evil, the
Monkey King uses a magic stick. He can make the stick so small that it fits in his
ear, or make it so big and long that it can reach the sky.
The Monkey King’s story has inspired Chinese children for a long time. About
40 years ago, when a TV programme based on the story came out, children
in other countries also became interested in the Monkey King. They like the
clever monkey because he always helps the weak and never gives up. Everyone
can learn valuable lessons from the story of the Monkey King.

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

The Chongyang Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It falls on the ninth
day of the ninth lunar month, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
This festival has been celebrated for over 2,000 years. It is a day to enjoy the
autumn weather and spend time with family members, especially the elderly.
Families usually invite their elderly members for festive meals, as Chongyang is a
day to show respect for the aged.
During the Chongyang Festival, families often climb mountains or hills. It is
said that climbing to high places on this day can help keep diseases away. After
climbing, families usually enjoy a picnic. The most important food is Chongyang
cake (Chongyang gao). It symbolizes a better life. Traditional Chongyang dishes
are different from place to place, but all are considered lucky foods for the
holiday.
No matter how it is celebrated, Chongyang is a time for families to get
together and enjoy the season. Mountain climbing, family meals, and respect
for the elderly all remind people of the importance of family.

Going Home for the Spring Festival
“It’s almost the Spring Festival. Can we go to Hainan for the holiday, Dad?”
“Not this time,” Dad answered with a smile. “We’re going to your mum’s
hometown!”
Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the
morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than five hours, and
then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents’ village in the afternoon.
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!” said 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.

Right now, the walls are blue. There are cute animals on them, but the
animals look too childish for us. We want to cover the animals and paint the
walls with warm colours. What do you think about the colour?
On Sunday, we can meet at the paint shop near the shopping centre and
choose the paint together. Then we can paint the room with my brother.
I loved the brushes we used for your room. Can you bring them?
After painting, could you help choose some photos to hang on the walls?

My Friend
My friend is kind and bright and true
In everything she does and says
She likes to laugh and smile a lot
And never judges others’ ways
She’s helpful when I’m feeling sad
Or when I do not understand
She lifts me up when I feel down
And holds my hand when things seem bad
A better friend I’ll never find
She keeps me hopeful and glad
I’m thankful that she is so helpful
My caring and loving best friend

The Helmet
It was a sunny day last Saturday. Peter
was excited to try out his new skateboard.
He got it as a birthday gift the other day.
After breakfast, Peter took his skateboard
and helmet, and headed outside to the
skatepark. He put the skateboard on the
ground and stepped on it. With a push,
he was off. The wind brushed against his face as he picked up speed. “This
is fantastic!” Peter shouted.
But suddenly, the skateboard hit a stone on the ground. Peter lost his
balance and fell forward. He rolled over and over and finally came to a stop.
It took Peter a moment to catch his breath. He felt a bit of pain on
his left side. Peter tried to stand up. Luckily, he found that there was
nothing seriously wrong with him. The fall was scary, but thankfully, his
helmet kept him safe. Peter couldn’t help but feel thankful to his mother,
who always reminded him to wear a helmet when riding a bike or a
skateboard. After a short break, Peter took a deep breath and bravely
stepped back onto his skateboard, ready to give it another try!
Peter went to the skatepark and started riding his skateboard.
Last Saturday, Peter headed outside with his skateboard and helmet.
After a short rest, Peter decided to continue riding his skateboard.
The skateboard hit a stone and Peter lost his balance.
His helmet kept him safe and he didn’t get seriously hurt.
He fell down and rolled forward.

In 2012, the Chinese government started a safety policy for school buses.
Thanks to this policy, more and more children, especially those living far from
schools, can now travel to school more safely and conveniently.
For example, in Yantai, a city in Shandong Province, most village children used
to walk several kilometres to school with their school bags. Bad weather made
the journey even longer and more difficult.
But now, because of the new policy, many children can take school buses to get
to school. Every morning and afternoon, big yellow buses travel through villages
and communities, picking up and dropping off children. This new policy has
been warmly welcomed by both children and their parents.

Li Ming, a middle school student, used to get up very early in the morning and
walk two kilometres to school. Now, he can relax or even sleep for a while
during the bus ride to and from school. His mother no longer worries about
him because he doesn’t need to walk a long way in bad weather.
This policy not only reduces parents’ worries but also helps lower their costs.
More and more parents appreciate the government’s efforts to care for their
children’s safety.

Weather and Mood
Use a dictionary to help you match the weather idioms with their meanings.
Then find more weather idioms and share them with a partner.
2
Read the text and correct the statements.
1
1. The weather doesn’t really affect how we feel and behave.
2. If we are feeling ill, we can say that we are “snowed under”.
3. We use sunny or warm weather to describe negative moods.
4. Darkness helps us produce more vitamin D.
5 . We can feel down if we spend too much time outside.
Do you know how weather affects our lives? Well, it affects
where we go, what we do, and what we wear. And it also
affects how we feel and behave. It is a big part of our lives!
We often use weather language to describe how we feel. For example, if we are feeling
ill, we say we are “under the weather”. If we are feeling stressed and busy, we can say
that we are “snowed under”. We use “bad” weather (rainy, stormy, etc.) to describe a bad
mood, and “good” weather (sunny, warm, etc.) to describe a good mood.
And that is not all. The weather can even change the way we feel! For example, sunlight
helps our body to produce vitamin D. This vitamin can improve our mood. But some parts
of the world get little sunlight in winter, so people can feel unusually sad then. However,
when it is hot and sunny, some people may get angry easily too! Scientists are still
studying how the weather changes the way people feel and behave.
These days, many of us spend less time outside than in the past. Getting no fresh air or
sunlight and spending too much time inside can make us feel down. It is very important to
go outside once in a while, whatever the weather, rain or shine!
1. to brighten up
2. to be on cloud nine
3. to feel as right as rain
4. to be in a fog
A. to feel healthy or well again
B. to become happier
C. to be extremely happy and excited
D. to be confused

Wednesday, 22 July
Today was an amazing day. There was a total solar
eclipse in Wuhan! I woke up early because I couldn’t
wait to see it!
My friends and I went down to the Yangtze River
to find a good place to watch it. We took cameras,
chairs, food and drink, and special glasses so we
could look at it. Lots of people gathered there to
watch too. Slowly, the moon moved in front of the sun. It looked like someone bit a
hole in the sun! It got darker and darker as the moon slowly covered the sun.
At 9:26 a.m. the moon completely covered the sun. The sky went dark. The crowd
gasped and cheered. The light of the sun made a ring of light around the moon.
I took this photograph then. The total eclipse lasted for over five minutes! Then it
passed and the sky started to get brighter again.
I was really inspired by the eclipse this morning. In the afternoon, I spent hours
reading about astronomers, eclipses, and how the planets move in our solar system.
The universe is simply amazing! I also watched some videos with famous Chinese
astronauts. I want to become an astronaut or astronomer someday too. The sky is
the limit!

Narrator:
There was once a fisherman who lived in a small house by the sea with his
wife. One day, something very special happened.
Scene One [The fisherman’s hut.]
Fisherman: An amazing thing happened when I went fishing today! I caught a little
golden fish. It could speak! It promised me whatever I wanted if I set it free.
Wife:
At last, fortune smiles upon us! What did you wish for?
Fisherman: Well … I felt sorry for the fish, so I just put it back into the sea.
Narrator:
His wife was very angry and made him find the fish.
Scene Two [By the sea.]
Fisherman: Little golden fish, are you there?
Golden fish: Hello, kind fisherman. What’s the matter?
Fisherman: My wife was very angry because I didn’t
make a wish. We need a new pot. Please
give us one!
Narrator:
The golden fish said yes, and it went back
into the water.
Scene Three [The fisherman’s hut.]
Narrator:
Back home, the fisherman found a new pot outside the house.
Fisherman: Look, a new pot!
Wife:
You fool! Can’t you see we need a new house instead? Go back again and
ask for one!
Scene Four [By the sea.]
Fisherman: Little golden fish, are you still there?
Golden fish: Hello again, kind fisherman.
Fisherman: My wife wants a new house! Can you help me please?
Narrator:
Again, the golden fish granted his wish.
Scene Five [The fisherman’s hut.]
Narrator:
The fisherman went back home. But his house was now big and beautiful.
Fisherman: Wow! Our house looks amazing!
Wife:
The house is nice, but I want to be rich too! Go back and ask for money!

My best holiday experience was two years ago. My family lives
in Wuhan, the biggest city in Central China. That summer, I
decided 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 the Tian’anmen Square, I was so proud of myself.

ocean. At first, I took some classes to learn how to
scuba dive safely. I practised in a swimming pool for

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

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.
“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 knowing 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.

It was set up in 1996.
To learn more ways to stay safe and avoid
risks in daily life.
Road safety: Always wait for the green signal before crossing the road,
and watch out for cars and buses. Wear bright colours, so the drivers can see
you easily.
Internet safety: Be careful of the dangers of online scams. Do not share
personal information online. Avoid opening links and emails if you are
suspicious of them. Tell your parents or teachers if something or somebody
makes you uncomfortable online.
Travel safety: Be well prepared for travel. Take some medicine with you.
Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Bring enough water and food such as
bread and biscuits because these don’t go bad quickly.
Food safety: Wash fruits carefully before you eat them. Check the dates on
the packages of your snacks. If the food looks or smells bad, don’t eat it.

Section A, 1b and 1c
Conversation 1
Yaming: Hi, Peter. How was your weekend?
Peter:
It was great! I visited the science museum.
Yaming: Did you see anything interesting?
Peter:
Yes, there was a space exhibition. There were some special rooms, and they looked
like parts of a space station. You could go inside them and see how astronauts live
and work! It was amazing.
Yaming: Cool! Were there any astronauts there?
Peter:
Well, no. But there were robots! I asked one of them questions and it answered me!
Yaming: Wow! I’d love to go and see them!
Conversation 2
Helen:
How was your weekend, Teng Fei?
Teng Fei: It was terrible!
Helen:
Why? What happened?
Teng Fei: Well, first, I was on my way to meet my friends when some tourists asked me the
way to the history museum. I didn’t mean to, but I gave them the wrong directions.
I only realized it after they left!
Helen:
Oh no! But don’t worry. They probably asked someone else too.
Teng Fei: I hope so! But I was so worried. I even got on the wrong bus. I was late to meet my
friends. Oh, and I left my book on the bus too!
Helen:
Oh no. What a day!
Section A, 2a and 2d
Helen:
Hi, Fu Xing. How was your school trip to the wastewater plant? Was it boring?
Fu Xing: No, it wasn’t at all. It was really interesting!
82
Helen:
Wow! What did you see?
Fu Xing: We saw the plant make dirty water clean again.
Helen:
Really? How?
Fu Xing: Well, first, dirty water from our homes goes into the plant. Then, special screens
remove large pieces of waste from the water.
Helen:
What happens next?
Fu Xing: Well, large machines remove germs and other things from the water. These things
are usually too small to see. It takes a few more steps after that before the water
becomes clean again.
Helen:
Wow! I used to think it was easy to get clean water.
Fu Xing: Me too! I didn’t realize it was so hard.
Unit 4 Once upon a Time
Section A, 1b, 1c, and 1d
Conversation 1
Chen Jie: Please share your favourite story with me, Peter.
Peter:
Sure. Once a lion caught a mouse. The mouse was afraid. He said, “Please let
me go! One day I will help you!” The lion laughed and let the mouse go. Later, a
hunter caught the lion in a net. The mouse helped the lion then. He bit through
the net and set the lion free!
Chen Jie: I like that story. Kindness is never wasted.
Conversation 2
Emma: What’s your favourite story, Teng Fei?
Teng Fei: Oh, I like this one. A farmer lost his horse. His neighbours said, “How unlucky!”
But the farmer just said, “Maybe.” Later, his horse came back with seven other
horses. People said, “That’s great!” But the farmer said, “Maybe.” Later, his son
broke his leg when he tried to ride a horse. People said, “That’s terrible!” Again,
the farmer said, “Maybe.” Well, because of his leg, the son didn’t have to join a war.
That saved his life!
Emma: I see. Unlucky things may turn out well. And good things could go wrong too.
Teng Fei: Yes, you never know.
Section A, 2a and 2e
Here’s The Emperor’s New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen.
Once upon a time, an emperor liked clothes very much. He wanted to buy some new
clothes.
Listening Scripts
83
Listening Scripts
Two brothers came and lied to him, “We can make wonderful clothes! But only clever
people can see them!” They pretended to make the clothes.
The emperor’s officials couldn’t see the clothes, but they said, “What lovely clothes!” The
emperor couldn’t see anything either, but he said, “They’re beautiful!” No one wanted to
look silly.
The emperor decided to show everyone his new clothes. People in the street praised them.
They were afraid to look silly too!
Suddenly, a boy shouted, “Look! The emperor has no clothes on!” Everyone looked at one
another. They started laughing.
The end! Did you like the story? Please tell me what you think!

Mum: Good. Also, make sure you stay away from electrical outlets. Don’t stick anything into
them, or you could get shocked.

Mum: Yes. Be careful about things like the stove and the iron. Don’t touch them when they
are hot.
Peter: I’ll be very careful, Mum.
Mum: When you finish cooking, make sure to turn off the gas.

二、朗读基本知识
1. 音的同化（Assimilation）
当两个音相邻时，其中一个音常常受另一个邻音的影响而变成与其邻音相同，或相
似，或变成第三个音，这种变音现象叫作音的同化。例如：
Nice to meet you. mi:t ju→mi:tSu
What would you like to drink, tea or coffee? wUd ju→wUdZu
What did you do last night? dId ju→dIdZu
同化现象是英语连贯说话中一种自然的变化，初学者应根据示范朗读体会和模仿学习。

2. 节奏（Rhythm）
英语是一种节奏感较强的语言。英语句子中有的词重读，有的词不重读。英语单词
中有重读音节和非重读音节，重读和非重读音节在句中形成一强一弱或一重一轻的变化，
这样就形成了英语的节奏。例如：
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
How I wonder what you are.
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Up above the world so high,
● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Like a diamond in the sky.
在上面的歌谣中，每行歌谣有四个重读音节，要读得清楚响亮，重读音节之间夹杂
的非重读音节，要读得又轻又快。重弱读音节交替进行，像音乐中的节拍，构成英语句
子的节奏。
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
（）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。
Grammar
Grammar
93
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
somebody 某人
someone 某人
something 某事；某物
any 一些；任何
anybody 任何人
anyone 任何人
anything 任何事物
nobody 无人
no one 无人
nothing 没有东西
everybody 每人；大家；人人
everyone 每人
everything 每一件事物；一切
one 一个（人或物）
another 另外一个；又一个
other(s) 另一个（些）
all 全体；全部
both 两个（都）
each 每个
either 任何一个（指两个当中）
neither 没人或物（指两个当中）
none 没人或物（指两个以上）
many 很多
much 很多
few 很少；几乎没有
a few 一些；几个
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。
Grammar
94
2. 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.
He didn’t say much about his family.
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.
I’ve read all of his books. Only a few are interesting.
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、情态动词 （Modal Verbs）
情态动词can / could
情态动词can和could都可用于表示能力、请求允许和给予许可，以及提出请求和建
议。例如：
Can you speak English? 你会说英语吗？（能力）
He could sing very well when he was young. 他年轻的时候歌唱得很好。（能力）
Grammar
95
A: Can I put some flowers on the table? 我能在桌上摆些花吗？（请求允许）
B: Yes, of course you can. 可以，当然可以。（表示许可）
Could I use your mobile phone? 我可以用你的手机吗？（请求允许）
Can you help me hang up the photos? 你能帮我把这些照片挂起来吗？（提出请求）
Could you please sweep the floor? 请你打扫一下地板，好吗？（提出请求）
We can eat in a restaurant this evening. 今晚我们可以在餐馆吃饭。（提出建议）
Maybe I could give you a lift to the supermarket. 也许我可以让你搭我的车去超市。
（提出建议）
We could go fishing this weekend. 这个周末我们可以去钓鱼。（提出建议）
三、现在进行时（Present Continuous Tense）
1. 现在进行时的意义
（1）表示现在（说话时）正在进行的动作或存在的状态。例如：
The students are listening to the teacher.
He is sleeping now.
（2）也可表示当前一段时间或现阶段正在进行的动作或存在的状态。例如：

I’m reading a history book this month.
2. 现在进行时的构成
