Part 3 Grammar
一、英文中引号的用法
'What are you doing?' she asked.
'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?'
She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'
观察以上句子中间中引号的用法，我们可以发现：
1. 引号位于一行之上，它们应在句尾其他标点，如逗号、句号、问号之外，
2. 引语的第一个词以大写字母开头。

3. 在said, asked等词后面用逗号，只有当它们位于句尾时，才在他们的后面加句号。

如：She said, “Hurry up.”
4. 当said, asked等词置于引语之间时，句子的后半部分以小写字母开始。

如：“I can come today,” she said, “but not tomorrow.”
5. 当一个新的说话人开始讲话时，要另起一个段落。

如课文的倒数第二三段。

Exercise 1
用引号改写以下对话。

Look! She said, isn’t that man drunk? I think we should cross the road, answered her husband. It’s too late now, she replied. Eh, you two. Look where you are going, called the drunk. Can’t you walk in a straight line?
二、一般现在时与现在进行时用法复习
一般现在时可以用于表述现在的特征或状态，也经常用于表述经常性的或习惯性的动作，或带有普遍性的情况，频度副词可有可无，一般现在时还用于表示普遍性真理。

和人的情绪相连, 跟人的状态相连, 跟人的思维活动相连的动词都不用进行时态，而用于一般现在时，这些动词是：appear，appreciate，be，believe，feel，find，forget，hear，know，like，look like，notice，remember，resemble，see，think，understand 等等。

Exercise 2
用括号中动词的适当形式填空：

一、在以下对话中适当的地方加上引号：
What are you doing, Max? the teacher asked. Pardon, sir? Max said.
I asked you what you were doing, the teacher said. I’m looking at my book, sir, Max answered.
Are you sure? the teacher asked. I think you’re looking out of the window. What is the next line we’re going to read?
Max looked hard at his book.
The next line we’re going to read, he said, is after the last line we have just read. I think you’d better see me after the lesson, the teacher said. Yes, sir, said Max.
二、用括号中所给动词的正确形式填空：

三、阅读理解
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by
the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more
and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on
Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2100,
spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to
Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-te acher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
1. What will our Earth be like in about 90 years?
__________________________________________________________________.
2. It takes our spaceship months to car ry people to Mars at present, doesn’t it?
__________________________________________________________________.
3. What should scientists do to make it possible for humans to live on Mars?
__________________________________________________________________.
4. How should humans prevent from easily jumping too high and flying away?
__________________________________________________________________.
5. Why can we have more time for our hobbies if we live on Mars?
__________________________________________________________________.
6. What do you think of online schools on Mars?
__________________________________________________________________.
7. Will you like the food in the form of pills? Tell your reason.
__________________________________________________________________.。
