Unit 1
句型精析
1
Smaller in size, but just as famous, is the city of Vancouver in the province of British Columbia on the Paci?c
coast. (Page 3)
【解析】本句为倒装句，主语是the city of Vancouver。在英语中，倒装句常起平衡、紧密衔接或强调 的作用。如：
Seated on the ground were a group of students playing the guitar. 坐在地上的是一群弹着吉他的学生。
The past one can know, but the future one can only feel. 一个人可以明知过去，但只能体悟未来。
本单元中也多次出现了类似结构。如：
Nearer to the Atlantic coast is Niagara Falls. (Page 3) 更靠近大西洋海岸的是尼亚加拉瀑布。
2 Although only a handful of people became successful, many stayed and built settlements in the area, and there
are now many museums showing what life was like back then. (Page 3)
【解析】本句为主从复
Although Tom was ill a week ago, he still got good marks in the exam.
尽管汤姆一周 前生了病，但这次考试中他仍然得了个好成绩。
合句，although引导的是让步状语从句。如：
3 With all of these attractions, you can see why the UN named Canada one of the best countries in the world to
live in! (Page 3)
【解析】动词 不定式短语to live in，作后置
级或the only、the last等修饰时，常常跟不定式做后置定语。如：
Yang Liwei is the first Chinese astronaut to travel around the earth in the spaceship.
杨利伟是中国第一位乘宇宙飞船环绕地球的宇航员。
He would be the last to agree to the plan. 他决不会同意这项计划。
定语修饰the best countries。英语中，名词 前有序数词 、形容词 最高
4 It is one of the main reasons why Australians can sometimes be accused of being overweight and un?t.
(Page 14)
【解析】本句是主从复合句，why引导的定语从句修饰先行词 reasons。如：
That’s one of the reasons why he always gets on my nerves. 这是他老让我心烦的原因之一。
5 Considering Australia’s small population, its outstanding performance at the Olympic Games was really
amazing. (Page 15)
【解析】considering在此处用作介词 ，后接名词 ，意为“考虑
Considering his age, he has actually done a good job. 考虑到他的年龄，他其实干得很不错了。
Considering the apartment is in the city centre, its price sounds reasonable.
考虑到这套公寓位于市中心，它的价格还算公道。
到”。此外considering还可用作连词 。如：
6 So, while a high percentage of Australians may be people who watch sports rather than do them, Australia is
indeed a great sporting nation! (Page 15)
【解析】句中while引导让步状语从句，相当于although，意思是“尽管”，表示让步关系。如：
While I admit that the problem is difficult, I don’t think that it can’t be solved.
尽管我承认这个问题很难，但我并不认为它无法解决。
While I was willing to go, I would like it better if you went. 尽管我愿意去，但如果你去我想会更好些。

语法指导
定语从句
定语从句是
在先行词 的后面。引导定语从句的关联词 叫作关系词 ，关系词 可分为关系代词 和关系副词
根据定语从句在句子中所起的作用，可以分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句对先
行词 起修饰和限定的作用，如果没有，将会导致句义不清，指代不明等问题；而非限制性定语从句对所修饰的
起补充说明的作用，常用逗号把先行词 与定语从句隔开。由于主句和非限制性定语从句在意义上相对独立，
指在复合句中修饰名词 或代词 的从句，其中被修饰的名词 或代词 叫作先行词 ，定语从句一般跟
。
词
即使去掉从句，也不会对句子意思的理解产生太大的影响。
　　
一、限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句可用关系代词 来引导，常用的关系代词 有that、which、who、whom、whose等。
1 that可以用来指代人，也可指代物，which只用来指代物，who、whom用来指代人。如：
I admire people who/that always concentrate on their work.
我欣赏对工作专心致志的人。
Mr Li lives in the house that/which stands in the centre of the village.
李先生住在村中心的那座房子里。
2 whose用来表示与先行词 之间
的从属关系。如：
Do you know the name of the author whose book is the best seller of this year?
你知道今年畅销书的作者的姓名吗？
The house whose roof is red belongs to a foreigner from Canada.
那座红屋顶的房子属于一个来自加拿大的外国人。
3 当关系代词 在从句中用作宾语，且前面没有介词 时，该关系代词 可以省略。如：
Mr Li lives in the house (that/which) his father built 20 years ago.
李先生住在他父亲20年前建的房子里。
The girl (who/that/whom) I know lives not far from here.
我认识的那个女孩住得离这儿不远。
注意：如果用作宾语的关系代词 前面
有介词 ，该关系代词 不可省略。如：
The city in which she lives is very far away. 她居住的城市很远。
4 限制
I will never forget the day when he came to see us and encouraged us to face the dif?culty bravely.
我永远不会忘记他来看望我们并鼓励我们勇敢面对困难的那个日子。
The house where Chairman Mao once lived has been a museum.
毛主席经住过的那所房子现在已经变成了一座博物馆。
性定语从句也可用关系副词 来引导。常用的关系副词 有when、where、why等。如：
曾
Everybody wants to know the reason why they are against Tom on that issue.
人人都想知道他们在那个问题上反对汤姆的原因。
二、非限制性定语从句
1 在非限制性定语从句中不能使用that为关系代词 ，而只能用who、whom指代人，用which 指代物或事，
whose既可指代人也可指代物。如：
The space station, which was launched in 2017, will work in space for two years.
4

Unit 1
于2017年发射升空的空间
站将在太空服役两年。
Tian’anmen Square, whose size is the largest of all the city squares in the world, is located in Beijing.
天安门广场位于北京，它是世界上最大的城市广场。
2 非限制性定语从句也可以用when 和 where来引导。如：
He was born in 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was founded.
他出生于1949年，那一年中华人民共和国成立。
This summer holiday I visited Shaolin Temple, where many foreigners come to learn Chinese kung fu.
今年暑假我参观了少林寺，很多外国人来这里学习中国功夫。
3 as或which可以指代整个主句，并引导
限制性定语从句既可置于主句之前，也可置于主句之后，常常有“正如??”的意思；而which引导的非
限制性定语从句只可置于主句之后。如：
Some houses are made of bamboo, which makes them very light and strong.
有些房子是用竹子建造的，这使得房子轻而坚固
一个非限制性定语从句，其意义相当于and this 或 and that。as引导的非
。
As is known to all, water is an important kind of natural resource./Water is an important kind of natural resource,
as is known to all.
水是一种重 要的自然资源，这是众所周 知的。
三、一般只用that引导定语从句的几种情况
先行词 被the only、the very (正是，恰是
1
)、the last、序数词 、形容词 最高级修饰或先行词 本身是序数词
时。如：
This is the best film that I have ever seen.
这是
This is the very bicycle that I want to buy for my daughter.
这正是我想买给女儿的那辆自行车。
我看过的最好的电影。
2 先行词 中既有人也有物时。如：
I am looking forward to seeing the artist and his latest works that my teacher just mentioned.
我期待见到我老师刚才提到的那位画 家和他的新作。
3 在which或who引导
Who is the man that has a big fan in his hand?
那个手里拿着把大扇子的男人是谁？
Which is the book that deals with the hot issue?
哪一本是讨论热点问题的书？
4 先行词 the way，并在定语从句中充当状语时，定语从句用that引导或省略，若用which引导，其前加介词
in。如：
What surprised me was not what he said but the way (that/in which) he said it.
让我惊讶的不是他所说的内容而是他说话的方式。
的特殊疑问句中含有定语从句时。如：
是

Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于加拿大的短文，并根据短文内容判断正误
Canada, the second largest country in the world, has a total area of 9,984,670 square kilometres and is bordered
by three oceans: the Paci?c to the west, the Arctic to the north, and the Atlantic to the east. Across the country,
Canadians experience different landscapes from rolling plains and mountains to the cold tundra (冻土地带) of the north.
Geographically, Canada can be divided into ?ve regions: the Paci?c Region, the Prairie Provinces, Central Canada, the
Atlantic Provinces and the North.
The Paci?c Region
The Paci?c Region is known for its mild coastal (沿海岸的) climate, its forests and its spectacular mountains,
including the famous Rockies. The Rocky mountains are the youngest and highest mountains in Canada. Between the
mountain ranges are areas of high plateaus and deep trenches. Because of these, most people live in the south and near
the coast.
The Prairie Provinces
The Prairie Provinces are known for their rolling plains and extreme climate with long, cold winters and hot, dry
summers. Most of the area is covered with farms producing large quantities of wheat and other grains. Oil and natural gas
are also abundant in the region. Northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, parts of Canada’s Prairie Provinces, are covered
by the great Canadian Shield—a rocky landscape with lakes, rivers and forests that extends over almost half of Canada.
Central Canada
This region, which includes Ontario and Quebec, is not really the geographic centre of Canada. The region gets
its name because historically it has been the centre of political and economic power. Canada’s capital city is Ottawa,
Ontario. Central Canada is also the most heavily populated and industrialized area of Canada, particularly in the south
around the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world and
today these waters are an important transportation route from the Atlantic Ocean to Canada’s interior (内陆 ).
The Atlantic Provinces
Located in the easternmost part, the region has many small coastal communities as well as some major industrial
centres. Fishing, shipping and farming are important activities for the people of this area.
The North
To most Canadians this region is quite remote since 75% of Canada’s population lives in the south within 160
kilometres of the Canada-United States border. However, the North is home to over 85,000 people, many of whom are
indigenous (土著的) peoples and to a great variety of wildlife including caribou (北美驯鹿) and polar bears. The North
covers a large area and has a varied landscape which has one feature in common, that is, extremely long, cold winters
and a lot of snow. It is so cold that the earth is frozen for most of the year and never thaws (融化) more than half a metre
from the surface. This permanently frozen layer of earth has made construction in the North a real challenge for architects
and builders.

(Page 18)
【解析】句中as is the marathon是
Sara is tall and slim, as is her sister Lisa. 莎拉高而苗条，她妹妹丽莎亦是
a long distance race是the marathon的同位语，过去分词 短语created in honour of a Greek solider who ran from
Marathon to Athens to report the victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC是定语，修饰a long distance race。
 In fact, repairs were so clumsy that they made some of the buildings less secure than they had been before. (Page 19)
【解析】句中so ... that引导的是结果状语从句；than引导的是比较状语从句。
比较级less secure作宾语补足语，less修饰形容词 、副词 ，表示“较不，更少地”。如：
His illness has made him less aggressive than he used to be. 他的病让他变得不如从前那么好斗了。
由连词 as引导的倒装结构，意为“the marathon is also a Greek invention”。如：
。
The mother’s concern was far less for herself than for her lovely daughter.
妈妈对她可爱的女儿的关注远超过了对她自己的关注。
如果less用来修饰动词 ，则表示“次数较少，少一些；不那么”等。如：
It rains less in London than in Manchester. 伦敦降水比曼 彻斯
短语even/still/much less意为“更不用说”。如：

means “thirteen tombs’’ in Chinese. (Page 30)
【解析】(1) called 在本句中是过去分词 作定语，修饰前面的名词 place，意思是“被称为，叫作”。如：
An old woman called Chen Xianmei saved the little girl who was badly hurt on the ground.
一位名为陈贤妹的老太太救了地上那个受重 伤的小女孩。
Last week, the boy took part in a competition called “Future Writers’’ in Nanjing.
那个男孩上周 参加了南京的一场名为“未来作家”的比赛。
(2) which means “thirteen tombs’’ in Chinese是一个非限制性定语从句，对Shisanling作补充说明。非限制性定
语从句与先行词 用逗号隔开；由which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰的可以是名词 ，也可以是整个句子。如：
Jackie Chan, who is a famous actor, is coming to perform in our stadium.
Jackie Chan is coming to perform in our stadium, which is exciting to us all.
The beautiful architecture of this tomb had a great in?uence on the design of emperors’ tombs in the ?ve

名词性从句
名词 性从句在句中的作用相当于名词 ，按照其在句中所充当的成分，可分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从
句和同

whose、how等来引导。如：

When they will ?nish the work is still a question. 他们何时能完成工作还是个问题。
如果主语从句较长，而谓语为be动词 或其他连系动词 ，可以用it作形式主语而把主语从句放在后面，以保持
句子的平衡。如：
It’s a pity that he didn’t come tonight. 可惜
It’s natural that he was angry with what you said. 他对你所说的话生气是理所应当的。
但用whoever、whatever等引导的主语从句不用形式主语it代替，一般也不后置

Whoever breaks the rule will be punished. 任何人违反制
在句中作主语的句子，常可用that、whether或疑问词 如what、which、when、where、why、who、
他今晚没来。

二、宾语从句
宾语从句是
certain、afraid、pleased等后的句子。表示陈述意义的宾语从句一般用that来引导，表示疑问意义的宾语从句

I’m wondering whether you could give me a hand. 我在想你能否帮我一把。
I’m glad that he has overcome all the dif?culties. 我很高兴他克服了所有困难。

He asked when we could buy him a new bike. 他问我们何时能给他买辆新自行车。
The girl wanted to know how she could get a ticket for the concert.
女孩想知道她怎么才能得到一张音乐会门票
 介词 的宾语从句通常不用that来引导，但要表示“在??方面”和“除了??方面”时，在介词 in和
except后可用that来引导宾语从句。如：
。
The old man was worried about nothing except that the bridge outside the village would be washed away if
there should be a little ?ood.
老人唯一担心的是，哪怕只是一场小洪水，村外的小桥也有可能被冲垮。
 如果宾语从句后有宾语补足语，可以用it作形式宾语，而把宾语从句放在宾语补足语之后。如：
We made it a rule that every one must pick some ?rewood before going to sleep.
我们订了个规矩：每人睡觉前必须捡一些柴火。
They ?nd it dif?cult to ?nish the work on time. 他们发现很难按时完成工作。
22

Unit 2

He is no longer what he used to be. 他不再是过去的他了。
The question is whether you can tell me the truth. 问题是你能否把真相告诉我。
当主语是reason时，表语从句要用that而不能用because来引导。如：
The reason for his coming late is that his bike broke down on the way.
他迟到的原因是路上自行车坏了。
有时as、as if、because也可以引导表语从句。如：
It looks as if he is angry.看起来他生气了。
That is because you didn’t tell him the truth. 那是因为你没有把真相告诉他。
在句中作表语的句子，常位于be动词 、look、seem、appear等连系动词 后面
。表语从句可以用that、
四、同位语从句
位语从句是
The fact that China has made every effort to help the world economy recover from the crisis is known to all.
中国竭尽全力帮助世界经济从危机中恢复的事实已经世人皆知。
常接同位语从句的名词 有news、fact、idea、promise、answer、truth、belief、doubt、fear、hope、problem、
question、reply、report、suggestion、thought、condition等。同位语从句常用引导that、 why、when、where、

词
成分。

Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于雅典的简介，并根据短文内容选择正确的答案
Athens is named after Athena, the goddess (女神) of wisdom, who was said to win the city after defeating Poseidon
(海神波塞冬). The goddess’s victory was celebrated by the construction of a temple on the Acropolis.
Modern Athens was born in 1834, when the city was restored as the capital of a newly independent Greece. Greek
refugees ?ooded to the city at the end of the Greek-Turkish War. After World War II, America provided enough money
for a vast expansion and a programme in industry. The rapid growth of the post-war years and the high temperatures of
its Mediterranean climate have caused a heavy pollution. Too much traf?c led to a serious traf?c jam and great efforts are
being made to reduce this, but in vain. Visitors are worried that the architectural achievements of Athens’s classical past
are damaged by concrete of the 20th-century urbanization. Over three million visitors come to the city each year but the
majority see the sights as quickly as possible (as if ful?lling some cultural duty) before heading off for the comfortable
Greek islands.
Actually, in addition to the celebrated classical sites, the city boasts Byzantine, medieval and 19th-century
monuments, as well as one of the best museums in the world and areas of surprising natural beauty. Despite the traf?c,
an appealing village-like quality becomes evident in the cafes, pubs, markets and the maze (迷宫) of streets around
the Pláka. Moreover, Athens has the ?nest restaurants and the most varied nightlife in the country and remains a major
European centre of culture, celebrated each year at the Athens Festival. Undoubtedly the metropolitan area, including the
port at Piraeus, is an industrial and economic powerhouse of the country, while the return of the Olympic Games in 2004
prompted a new development.
Major projects include the new Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the extension of the Athens metro
system, the building of new sports venues, the improvement of hotel accommodation and the new look of the Piraeus
port area. The world-famous National Archaeological Museum, which was closed for reform through 2003, was reopened
for the Olympics, although the long-awaited New Acropolis Museum has fallen behind with the schedule. What’s more,
