九年级-U5 (下)

Unit 5 Art world (下)(九年级)—————————————————————————— 2014.11 —————————DictationIs the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife 1two teenage children did something we haven’t 2for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all 3it so much we’re think ing of doing it again sometime.We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was 4when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the 5of communicating face-to-face. We all know 6young people are out on a date(约会) these days, they spend most of that time 7their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to 8communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually 9to them.If we carry on like this, in the future, we’ll lose the use of our 10. What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!1. A. and B. or C. but D. after2. A. made B. known C. done D. seen3. A. acted B. blamed C. decided D. enjoyed4. A. common B. careful C. extra D. enough5. A. name B. art C. attention D. aim6. A. because B. how C. when D. unless7. A. buying B.collecting C. repairing D. answering8. A. dislike B.prefer C. admire D. believe9. A. writing B.introducing C. speaking D. hurrying10. A. eyes B. voices C. mouths D. hands词句精讲例如：I my homework before you came here.在你来这里之前我已经完成我的家庭作业。

过去完成时经常和by＋过去时间，when，before等引导的时间状语从句连用。

例如：①The bus by the time I got there.在我到达那里之前，公共汽车已经开走了。

②When we got there, the film .当我们到达那里的时候，电影已经开始了。

在含有间接引语的宾语从句中，主句经常是一般过去时，从句常用过去完成时。

例如：He told me that he the film.他告诉我他已经看过那部电影了。

She was ______ ______ _______from climbing the stairs. 爬楼梯使她上气不接下气的。

Eg：My parents think I have a real （天赋）for instruments.She learning foreign languages.她学习外语有天赋.1.②gift n.“赠品，礼物”，a gift from the Gods 天赐良机，好机会free gift 免费赠送；作为免费赠品God's gift [口语] (自以为)了不起的人Mary received the gift from her friend and she enjoyed it very much.玛丽收到了她朋友寄来的礼物,她十分喜欢它。

9.语法because ,for ,as ,since表示“因为”时的区别：because, as, for, since这几个词都是表示“原因”的连词，语气由强至弱依次为：because→since→as→for;其中because, since, as均为从属连词，引导原因状语从句；而for 是并列连词，引导并列句。

1. because表示直接原因，它所指的原因通常是听话人所不知道的，其语气最强。

常用来回答why的提问，一般放于主句之后，也可以单独存在。

例如：(1)I stayed at home because it rained. 因为下雨我呆在家里。

(2)Because Lingling was ill, she didn”t come to school. 玲玲因病，没有上学。

(3)A: Why is she absent? 她为什么缺席？B: Because she is sick. 因为她病了。

(4)It was because I missed the early bus that I was late for school.我上学迟到是因为我没有赶上早班汽车。

2. since侧重主句，从句表示显然的或已为人所知的理由，常译为“因为”、“既然”，语气比because稍弱，通常置于句首，表示一种含有勉强语气的原因。

例如：(1)Since he asks you, you”ll tell him why. 他既然问你，那就告诉他为什么吧。

(2)Since everyone is here, let’s start. 既然大家都到齐了，我们就出发吧！(3)Since I understood very little Japanese, I couldn’t follow the conversation.我日语懂得不多，因而听不懂对话。

3. as是常用词，它表示的“原因”是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因，或者理由不是很重要，含义与since 相同，但语气更弱，没有since正式，常译为“由于，鉴于”。

从句说明原因，主句说明结果，主从并重。

例如：Our teachers treat us as their children.我们的老师把我们像自己的孩子一样对待。

as也可以作为连词，表示因为、由于的意思。

例如：As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his music.因为谭盾喜欢大自然的声音，他在他的音乐中大量使用了它们。

(1)We all like her as she is kind. 我们都喜欢她，因为她善良。

(2)As I had a cold, I was absent from school. 因为我感冒了，所以没去上课。
