Similar structure are:as the saying goes,as everyone knows, as you know,as you put it,etc.3)(para.3)By turning off lights, the television,and the computer when you are through with them, you can help a lot.Analysis: By is followed by a gerund, introducing a prepositional phrase of manner.Note,by is not necessarily always translated as “通过”.4)(para.8)One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy pro ducts that don’t use as much energy.Analysis:Two That-clauses are used to serve as post-modifiers of nouns:the first one is that we put into the air, modifying greenhouse gases;The second that-clause is that don’t use as much energy, modifying products. Note: In translation, the noun phrase products that use as much energ y can simply be translated into”节能产品”, instead of “不消耗那么多能量的产品”.B. Important Words1)trap:v store(energy, gas or water,etc.)so that it cannot escape.2)Stand-by:n. Readiness for duty.3)Absorb:v. Take in,sack up (liquid,heat,knowledge,etc.)4)Membership: n. Being a member of (an organization)5)Swell:v. (number or amounts) grow bigger; expand.4. Passage Translation5. Read and Think: Answer the following questions according to the passage.6.

Read and Translate8. Read and SimulatePassage twoInformation Related to the Reading Passagenguage Points:A.Explanation of Difficult Sentences1)(para.1) The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes.Analysis: To remember about ...is the post modifier of the sentence subject the most important thing, and that introduces the complement clause.2)(para.1)As it is not very common in Britain to have long periods when the weather stays the same day after day, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on the luck.Analysis: Within the as-clause of reason, there is a relative clause introduced by when and modifying periods. And in its main clause, there is another relative clause you get modifying weather, with the relative that omitted.3)(para.2) For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won’t see people meeting or spending time together outdoors asmuch as you do in hotter countries.Analysis:for people to meet outside modifies opportunities.Both meeting or spending time together are the object complement of verb see, and do refers to see...4)(para.3) Foreigners are often amused that the British people spend so much time discussing the weather.Analysis:That is often used to introduce a clause which gives the cause or the effect of an adjective, just like amused in this case.5)(para.4) Another reason is that the British people are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends.Analysis:Here that introduces a subject-complement clause, in which a relative who-clause modified people.6)(Para.4) A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.Analysis:Note that when or is used to coordinate two subjects, the verb must agree with the subject after or. To break the ice is an infinitive clause modifying an easy way.B. Important Words1)depend: v. A.change according to(no passive)B. Need someone or something for help or to be able to live.2)opportunity:n. A favorable moment or occasion (for doing sth.)3)Outdoors:ad. In the open air4)Amuse:v.

Unwilling and therefore perhaps slow to act.9)Converse:v. Talk informally10)Personally:a. Belonging or relating to a particular person, not to others11)Social:a.relating to leisure activities that involve meeting other people12)Comment:v. Make a remark, give an opinion2.Passage Translation3.Read and Judge: True/False4.Read and Translate: Translate the following sentences into Chinese.1)the most important thing to remember about British is the weather.2)People in Britain can enjoy the lovely weather most of the year.3)British people tend to talk about weather quite a lot.4)It is quite common in Britain for people to comment on a rainy day or an lovely day at a bus stop.5)The eating habits of people in Britain have a lot to do with the weather conditions there.6)The best we may use to describe the weather in Britain is “predictable”.7)The variable weather explains why British people talk a lot about it.8)Talking about weather is an inoffensive way to begin a conversation with a stranger in Britain.Section V Appreciating Culture Tips (Open.)。

天气和季节的描述英语作文Title: Describing Weather and Seasons in English。

Weather and seasons play a crucial role in shaping our daily lives and activities. In this essay, we will explore various aspects of weather and seasons, their impacts, and how we can describe them effectively in English.Weather, the atmospheric conditions prevailing at a particular time and place, encompasses elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. It greatly influences our daily routines, outdoor activities, and even our moods. Describing weather accurately requires a rich vocabulary and an understanding of various weather phenomena.Let's start with the four main seasons: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter. Each season brings distinct weather patterns and changes in the environment.Spring is characterized by moderate temperatures, blooming flowers, and rejuvenation in nature after the cold winter months. The weather is often mild, with occasional rain showers. People describe spring as a time of renewal and growth.Summer is typically the hottest season of the year, with long days and warm nights. The sun shines brightly, and temperatures can soar, especially in regions with a continental climate. People enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, and picnics during this time.Autumn, also known as fall, marks the transition from summer to winter. The weather becomes cooler, and leaves on deciduous trees change color and eventually fall. Autumn is often associated with harvest festivals, pumpkin patches, and cozy evenings by the fireplace.Winter is characterized by cold temperatures, snowfall, and shorter days. In colder regions, lakes freeze over, and snow blankets the landscape, creating a winter wonderland. People engage in activities like skiing, snowboarding, andbuilding snowmen during this season.Now, let's delve into describing specific weather conditions in English:1. Clear and Sunny: When the sky is clear and the sunis shining brightly, we describe it as a sunny day. Phrases like "blue skies," "bright sunshine," and "warm rays of the sun" can be used to vividly portray such weather conditions.2. Cloudy: When the sky is covered with clouds,blocking the sun, we describe it as cloudy weather. Phrases such as "overcast skies," "cloudy with a chance of rain," and "gray clouds looming overhead" help convey this atmosphere.3. Rainy: Rainy weather brings precipitation in theform of raindrops falling from the sky. We can describe it as "rainy," "showery," or "drizzling." Words like "pitter-patter of raindrops," "rain-soaked streets," and "umbrellas unfurled" paint a picture of a rainy day.4. Snowy: Snowfall transforms the landscape into a winter wonderland. Descriptive phrases such as "blanket of snow," "flurries in the air," and "frosty temperatures" capture the essence of snowy weather.5. Windy: Windy weather is characterized by strong gusts of wind blowing through the air. We can describe it as "blustery," "wind-whipped," or "breezy." Phrases like "trees swaying in the wind," "howling winds," and "wind chill factor" help illustrate windy conditions.6. Foggy: When dense fog obscures visibility, we describe it as foggy weather. Words like "thick fog," "misty morning," and "visibility reduced to a few feet" convey the atmospheric conditions associated with fog.7. Stormy: Stormy weather brings thunderstorms, lightning, and heavy rainfall. Descriptive phrases such as "rumble of thunder," "flashes of lightning," and "torrential downpour" paint a vivid picture of stormy conditions.In conclusion, weather and seasons provide a rich tapestry of experiences and moods throughout the year. By mastering descriptive language and vocabulary related to weather, we can effectively communicate and express our observations and experiences in English. Whether it's a sunny day in summer or a snowy evening in winter, the language allows us to capture the essence of the weather and seasons with clarity and precision.。

For instance, we can say, "It is a sunny and warm day with a gentle breeze, perfect for outdoor activities."3. Weather Forecasting:Predicting the weather is an essential skill, especially when planning outdoor events, sports activities, or travels. Meteorologists, scientists who study the weather, use varioustools and data to make weather forecasts. These forecasts rely on weather patterns, temperature changes, and satellite imagery, among other factors. Understanding how to interpret weather forecasts, including the chance of rain, wind speed, and temperature, allows us to make informed decisions and prepare accordingly.4. Climate Change:Climate change is a pressing global issue. It refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns and temperatures, primarily caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels. In recent years, climate change has resulted in extreme weather events, including hurricanes, heatwaves, and droughts. Understanding the impact of climate change on weather patterns and the environment is crucial for taking appropriate actions to mitigate its effects. This may include promoting renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions, and advocating for sustainable practices.Conclusion:In the fifth unit of the ninth-grade English curriculum, we have explored the fascinating topic of weather.
