四、句子精析与仿写：

1. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world

to grow rice that has a high output. 1974 年，他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先锋。

句子分析： be/become+ the first/last+ n+ 不定式作定语。 (1)

被不定式修饰的名词和动词不定式有逻辑上的主谓关系； (2)

此结构相当于定语从句。

仿写：(1) 这是第一个在珠峰顶上点燃圣火的中国人。______________________________________________

(2) 迈克是会议上最后被表扬一个。______________________________________________

(3) 刘翔是第一个获得短跑冠军的亚洲运动员。______________________________________________

(1) The Chinese was the first one to light the flame on the top of

Qomolangma.

(2) Mike was the last to be praised at the meeting.

(3) LixXiang became the first Asian athlete to win the short running.

2. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one

third more of the crop in the same fields. 这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获 1/3 的产量。

句子分析： make it +adj.+ to do 使做 ( 某事 ) 成为…… ， it

是形式宾语， possible是宾语补足语， to do是真正的宾语。 one third ，分子小于 1 时，分母不用复数，分子大于 1 时，分母要用复数。

仿写：

(1) 他无论在哪里，都把每天跑步一小时当规定去执行。

______________________________________________

(2) 他没弄明白会议在何时何地举行。

______________________________________________

(1) Wherever he is ， he makes it a rule to do running for an hour

every day.

(2) He didn’t make it clear when and where the meeting would be

held.

3. Although he is one of China’s most famous scientists ， Yuan

Longping considers himself a farmer ， for he works the land

to do his research.尽管袁隆平是中国最出名的科学家之一，但是他认为他自己是个农民，因为他从事农耕工作来进行科学研究。

句子分析： although 表示转折，一般不和 but 连用，引导让步状语从句， consider“以为，考虑”之意，后面常接动词的现在分词形式，但如果表示认为的话，就是用上该结构。 consider+sb.+ to +be 认为某人是…… (to be) 常可以省略。for 引导的分句通常是对前一个分句所说的话加以解释，提供判断的理由。

仿写：(1) 天亮了，鸟儿在歌唱。______________________________________________

(2) 昨晚一定下了雨，因为今天早上地上很湿。_______________________________________________

(1) The day breaks ， for the birds are singing.

(2) It must have rained yesterday , for it was wet on the ground this

morning.

4. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. 他宁愿把时间花在自己的业余爱好上。

句子分析： would rather (not) do sth. 宁愿 ( 不 ) 做……更喜欢 ( 不

做 ) …… ； would rather 接从句时，从句使用虚拟语气。仿写：(1) 今晚你最好待在家里看点书。______________________________________________

(2) 我宁可你昨天做了这件事。______________________________________________

(1) You would rather stay at home and do some reading this evening.

(2) I would rather you did it yesterday.

5. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with

chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much

nutrition. 此外，施过化肥的水果、蔬菜和其他食物通常因生长得过快而营养不足。

句子分析： (1) in addition 意思是“而且，还有”；相当于besides ，用作状语。前后的关系有递进关系。 (2) grown with

chemical fertilizers ，为过去分词短语作后置定语，表示被动，相当一个定语从句“ which were grown with chemical

fertilizers” 。

仿写：(1) 我不想去了，再说我也很累。______________________________________________

(2) 英语演讲比赛不仅帮助我们提高英语交际能力，而且，还帮助我们养成良好的阅读习惯。

______________________________________________

(1) I don’t want to go. In addition, I am too tired.

(2) English speech competition is to help us improve our ability of

communicating in English. In addition, it can also help to develop

the good habit of reading.

1. The farming steps: selecting the weeds, ploughing the soil, turning

over the soil, sowing the seeds, removing the weeds, fertilizing.

2. What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly

no rice to eat?

2. I think if that happened, people there would suffer from starvation.

They would be panic and the whole country would get into

trouble. Maybe the situation that human beings eat human beings

will happen.

3. How to solve hunger? Give your ideas.

3. There are many methods to solve hunger, such as making good use

of the waste land, improving the quality of the soil, preventing the

pests from eating our crops, developing the technology to increase

the output, inventing a new kind of food and so on.

4. Give some good advice on developing agriculture of our country.

4. First, we should make full use of the land and improve the quality

output. Third, we should plant and invent more kinds of plants.

5. How to understand the poem by Li Shen “Farmers weeding at

noon, sweat down the field soon. Who knows food on a tray, due

to their toiling day”?

5. The poem shows us that food is the basics for man. Farming is

hard work. Farmers have to plant crops, smooth away weeds and

get in the crops at the right time. They have to get up early to

work in the field so as to protect themselves from the sunshine.

When it doesn’t rain, and they can’t irrigate the crops, the crops

will die and they will have nothing after hard working. So we

should save food.

difficult problems in the world.

First, we mustn’t drop the waste everywhere, which pollutes

the environment∕and does harm to our health. Second, it’s a waste

3. Her quick responses in class, unique answers to the teachers’

questions and good understanding to the lessons often______ the

students to have further discussions or debates on the text.

A. encourages B. improves C. calls D. develops

3. A 通过观察后面的宾语 the students(sb.) ，我们可以看出B 、 D 后面只跟宾语 (sth.) 。 call 要与 on之类的介词连用才可接宾语，否则就表示“给谁打电话”。 encourages 后面可跟sb.to do sth. ，因此用 A项最好。

fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone:

when there’s no more forest left, the foresters go elsewhere, and

when the fish 10, the fishermen move on. That’ s what the

nomads did, isn’t it?”

The teacher 11 , thoughtfully. Really mankind had turned into

nomads. Instead of looking after the land in such a way that we

could be sure it would keep 12 our needs, we have abused it until

the land was 13 . And then off we would go to the next place!

The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what

they could 14 to prevent this. The next day everyone attended

class wearing a green T-shirt, with a 15 on it that said “I am not

mother in the world.

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate

candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others

had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich.

As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’.

But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two

brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.

She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.

We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore

their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because

she made our clothes herself, just to save money.

The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each

night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept,

my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law.

She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up

mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report

cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for

failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black

marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.

She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.

Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three

children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean

because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest

mother in the world.
