单元难点疑点思路明晰

1. Soon he got talking to another person who happened to be American too .

〖明晰〗get talking为 get + ing表示某种状态的变化，表示一个新动作的开始。get在这里已经是连系动词了。又如：

He warned his son not to get smoking .

She got caught by the police .

2. He had gone through six carriages when he found he could go no further .

She had gone through just a few carriages before she found herself at the front of the train .

〖明晰〗had + done … when / before sb + 过去式“刚……就;一当……便”。

We had stayed in the hotel for nearly an hour when / before word came that she had an accident .

另外，注意：had + done … when / before … 的倒装结构是：Hardly had …… 。如：

Hardly had she seen the snake when she gave out a cry of fear .

3. She found herself at the front of the train .

〖明晰〗find的复合结构有：find + 宾语 + 介词短语(形容词、现在分词、过去分词、副词、不带to的不定式)。如：

I found the story moving . (形容词)

I found the snake moving from side to side . (现在分词)

I found the snake move that day . (不定式)

4. By that time Tina and Max were beginning to feel less anxious .

〖明晰〗begin用于进行时有“慢慢、逐渐”之意。如：

We are glad you are beginning to see the importance of English .

5. I was pleased that the manager had decided not to be angry with me for having been so rude .

〖明晰〗for having been so angry是作状语的，说明be angry的原因。having been是现在完成时，表示动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前。又如：

I don’t know remember having told you about it .

Jim was punished for having killed the dog .

She was sorry for having wasted so much time .

6. Now I joke and say to everyone that I dare tell my manager exactly what I think of him .

〖明晰〗这是一个复合句，that引导的宾语从句中又有what引出另一个作tell的宾语从句。另外，joke在本句是不及物动词，joke with sb about sth因……和某人开玩笑。

【妙文赏析】

岐义引起的误会

Three Feet

Dotty Aunt Muriel received a letter one morning and upon reading it burst into a flood of tears .

“What\'s the matter ?”asked her companion .

“Oh, dear ,”sobbed Auntie, “it\'s my favorite nephew, he\'s got three feet .”

“Three feet now ?”exclaimed her friend, “Surely that\'s not possible ?”

“Well, ”said Auntie, “his mother\'s just written to tell me he\'s grown another foot !”

三只脚

糊涂的穆丽尔婶婶一天早晨接到一封信，打开一看她不禁泪流满面，痛器失声。

“怎么回事?”她的同伴问。

“噢，天哪，”婶婶说，“我最喜欢的侄子长了三只脚!”

“三只脚?”她的朋友惊叫道。“这绝对不可能。”

“哎呀，”婶婶说，“她妈妈刚写信告诉我他又长了一只脚!”

注：foot有“脚，英尺”的意思。这里he\'s grown another foot 是“他又长了一英尺”的意思。

Where to Stick the Stamp ?

A very grand lady made her very first visit to a post office ─— previously one of her servants had always gone for her . And in she went to purchase a postage stamp . Gazing at the small gummed piece of paper she said haughtily to the clerk, “Have I got to stick this on myself ?”

“No, lady, ”came the reply. “You stick it on the envelope !”

把邮票贴在哪儿?

一位贵夫人头一次去邮局──在这以前是她的一个仆人替她干这些事。进去后她买了一张邮票，看着这小小带背胶的小纸块她傲慢地问邮务员：“我是否自己贴上这东西?”

“不，夫人，”邮务员回答说，“要贴在信封上。”

注：“Have I got to stick this on myself ?”有两个意思：1. “我得自己贴这东西吗?”;2. “我得把这东西贴在自己身上吗?”贵夫人指前者，邮务员指后者。

【思维体操】

One day , I went into the forest for an investigation ( 考察 ) with several African friends . On the way back , we saw a great group of ants get in our way . It was full two metres wide . The dark mass of ants gave out a loud rustling ( 沙沙的 ) sound as if a fine rain were falling . Some little animals , such as frogs , insects and so on , were eaten up on the way of the ants\' moving . We also saw a big snake thick as an arm was tormented ( 折磨 ) to death by the ants .

I was about to rush across it when one of my African friends stopped me . He said , “This is that the ants are moving to another place . The ants of this kind are terrible . Once you are bitten by them , red spots ( 斑 ) will appear on your skin , which will make you itch ( 发痒 ) horribly . You also will have a high fever . ”I was afraid at his words . He said again , “We mustn\'t ask for trouble . ”So we had to wait for more than an hour . We didn\'t go on with our journey until they passed by .
