Unit 1 Learning to learn(Ⅰ)
Lesson 1—Lesson 2
一、单元知识概述
同学们,在本周大家将要了解不同的英语学习方法,学会向别人提供英语学习的建议。
所以大家需要掌握与英语学习方法有关的词汇和表达(e.g.memorize, review, recite, simple, correct, discuss, go over, over and over again, etc)。
在语法上,需要掌握由unless和if引导的条件状语从句的用法,并能熟练运用它们于口语和写作之中。
二、单元重难点解析
1.Yes, there are a number of ways to help improve your memory, so you shouldn’t feel upset.
[译文]是的,有很多帮助你提高记忆力的方法,所以你不用感到心烦。
(1)a number of…表示“许多的;大量的”,后接可数名词的复数形式。
还可在number前面加上一些限定词来表达不同的含义。
e.g.a large/great number of… 许多……,大量……
a smal l number of… 少量的;少部分的
辨析:a number of和 the number of
a number of表示“许多;大量”,而the number of…表示“……的数量”。
当两者构成的词组都在句子中作主语时,a number of后的谓语动词要用复数形式,而the number of后的谓语动词用单数。
e.g.The number of students in our class is seventy. And a large number of them are from the city.
我们班学生数量是70个,其中很大一批来自城里。
(2)feel/ be upset(about…)意为“对……感到心烦”, 此处upset为形容词,表示“心烦的;不安的”。
e.g.He felt really upset about what I said.
他对我说的话感到心烦。
另外,upset还可以用作动词,表示“使心烦;扰乱;打翻”等。
过去式和过去分词均为upset。
e.g.The bad news really upset us.
这个坏消息实在令我们心烦。
The food here upsets my stomach.
这里的食物使我反胃。
2.You might want to go over the material two days after you learn it.
[译文]你或许在学习了两天后就想要复习所学的材料。
go over指“复习;温习;仔细检查”等。
e.g.We went over our lessons together at night.
我们晚上在一块复习课文。
He went over the plans again and discovered two mistakes.
他再次审查计划,发现两处错误。
拓展:
go away 离开;走开
go by 经过;路过
go on 进展;进行;继续
go down 下降;减弱
go off 响起;熄灭
go through 通过;经历
3.First, it will help you concentrate on the most important parts when you learn something.
[译文]首先,当你学习东西的时候,这样做会帮助你集中精力于最重要的部分。

As students, we should concentrate more on our study than our clothes.
作为学生,我们应该更多地集中精力于学习而不是衣着。
4.Before you use these ideas, you should know that to memorize something well you must understand it.
[译文]在你运用这些主意之前,你应该明白,为了牢固地记住某些东西你就必须理解它。
该句包含了一个that引导的宾语从句,该从句中不定式结构to memorize something well是目的状语。
to…作目的状语时,相当于in order to…或so as to…。
e.g.We got up early today to catch the train.
=We got up early today in order to/ so as to catch the train.
为了赶火车,我们今天起得很早。
表示目的时还可以用in order that和so that引导的目的状语从句。
e.g.We got up early today in order that/ so that we could catch the train.
5.Make sure you know about the material and don’t just recite it.
[译文]确保你了解该材料而不仅仅是背诵它。
make sure后接宾语从句,表示“确保;一定要”。
当从句中表示的是将来的事情时,常用一般现在时态来表示。
e.g.Please make sure that you brush your teeth every day.
请记得每天刷牙。
When you leave the room, please make sure that the lights are turned off.
当你离开房间时,请确保灯都关掉了。
6.To tell the t ruth, there isn’t one correct answer.
[译文]实话实说,这并没有一个完全正确的答案。
(1)tell the truth表示“讲实话”,“说出真相”。
e.g.Don’t always tell lies, you should tell us the truth.
不要老是撒谎,你应该对我们说实话。
(2)to tell the truth 意为“实话实说”,通常在句首做插入成分。

e.g.His words didn’t relate to what we were discussing just now.

注意:在含有条件状语从句的复合句中,表示将来时态,主句是一般将来时态,从句要用一般现在时(主将从现原则)。
(2)非真实条件句是虚拟语气的一种,表示与事实相反,不可实现的条件或根本不可能存在的条件,也就是一种虚拟的条件或假设,从句多用一般过去时或过去完成时。
e.g.If I were you, I would invite him to the party.
如果我是你,我会邀请他参加聚会。

neither...nor是both...and...的反义词组,它连接两个主语时谓语动词的形式也依据就
近原则。

Self-check & Reading
Step 1 The introduction to the context.
After learning Unit 2, we learn how to express our changes. If we are asked to write a composition named “How has my life changed?”, what should we write? I think we can describe the changes in our appearance, personality, school life and interests. About appearance, we should describe whether we become taller, heavier or thinner or have long or short hair. As for personality, we are supposed to introduce what we are like now. When we are writing the changes of school life, we need to describe the changes in our subjects, teachers, homework or school environment. About interests, what you like eating, drinking or like doing in free time can be introduced. The changes in school life and interests are more important.
