【语法讲解】Unit1Festivalsaroundtheworld精讲语法
【语法讲解】Unit 1 Festivals around the world 精讲语法情态动词（I）一、概述情态动词表示说话人的某种感情或语气，对某一动作或状态的某种态度，表示“需要”“可以”“必须”“应当”等意义。
情态动词有以下特征：1. 不能单独作谓语，除ought to和used to以外，后面只能接不带to的不定式。
2. 没有人称和数的变化。
但有些情态动词，如can, will, dare有一般时和过去时的变化。
3. 情态动词的“时态”的形式并不是区分时间的主要标志。
不少情况下，情态动词的现在时形式和过去时形式都可用来表示现在时间、过去时间或将来时间。
二、用法归纳1. can和could(1)表示能力，常译为“能，会”。
e.g. I can speak Japanese, but I can't write it. 我会说日语，但是不会写。
(2)表示允许，常译为“可以”；could还可以表示更加委婉地请求或许可。
e.g. —Can/Could I have a look at your photos? 我可以看看你的照片吗？—Of course you can.当然可以了。
You can smoke in this room. 你可以在这间屋子里吸烟。
(3)表示对现在或过去情况的推测，只用于疑问句或否定句中。
e.g. —Can she be in the classroom? 她可能在教室吗？—No, she can't be in it. 不，她不可能在教室里。
Can what he said be true? 他说的可能是真的吗？(4)用于肯定的陈述句中，表示理论上或习惯上的可能性。
e.g. Accidents can happen at any time.事故随时会发生。

What to learn about festivals around the world.-----How festivals began-----How people celebrate festivalsFunctionFestivals, of many types, serve to meet specific needs, as well as to provide entertainment. These times of celebration offer a sense of belonging for religious, social, or geographical groups. Modern festivals that focus on cultural or ethnic topics seek to inform members of their traditions. In past times, festivals were times when the elderly shared stories and transferred certain knowledge to the next generation. Historic feasts often provided a means for unity among families and for people to find mates. Select anniversaries have annual festivals to commemorate previous significant occurrences.*What’s the function of festivals?Festivals serve to meet_________, as well as to provide________. These times of celebration offer a sense of ___________________.Types of festivalsThere are numerous types of festivals in the world. Though many have religious origins, others involve seasonal change or have some cultural significance. Also certain institutions celebrate their own festival (often called "fests") to mark some significant occasions in their history. These occasions could be the day these institutions were founded or any other event which they decide to commemorate periodically, usually annually.*How many types of festivals are there? ______________________________Seasonal festivalsSeasonal festivals are determined by the solar and the lunar calendars and by the cycle of the seasons. The changing of the season was celebrated because of its effect on food supply.

In the Alps, in autumn the return of the cattle from the mountain pastures to the stables in the valley is celebrated as Almabtrieb.

But I like Mid-Autumn Festival the most. It means harvest, because it is celebrated in the harvest season. And it is the time for famers to express their thanks for harvest. In addtion, it’s the day for reunion. Some people call it Tuanyuanjie. The people work or study far away from home will come back to get-together with their families.
