Unit 1 How do you study for a test?
一周课程概述：本单元我们将完成以下学习任务：
1．学习谈论如何学习。 2．学习介词by加动名词作状语的用法。
3．学习一些重要句型词组和短语的用法。
二、重难点提示：
Section A
1．—How do you study for a test ? —I study by working with a group.
by working with a group 是一个介词短语，在句中作状语，表示方式。
by是介词，其后要接名词或动名词。by有多种意义，在这里意为“通过……方式”。
e.g. —How do you learn English well ?—By listening to the teacher carefully in class.
e.g. —How do you get in touch with him? —By e-mail.
2．—Do you learn English by watching English-language videos?—Yes, I do ./ No, I don’t.
这是一个一般疑问句，用来询问别人的学习方法。
3．I have learned a lot that way.通过那种方法我学到了很多。
that way 前省略了介词in，表示“以某种方式”通常用介词in .
类似的短语有：
in a big way大规模的, 奢侈的 in any way不管怎样, 好歹
in a small way小规模的,简朴的 in a way在某种程度上，从某方面来说
4．He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. 他认为学语法是学语言的一种好方法。
（1）划线部分是一个省掉了that的宾语从句。从句中动名词短语studying grammar
用作主语。
（2）to learn a language 是不定式短语作定语。
way 意为“方式，方法”时，后面可接不定式作定语，还可接定语从句和介词of引
导的短语作定语。
e.g. I’m not happy with this way of working. 我不喜欢这种工作方式。
e.g. I hate the way she always laughs at me.
我讨厌她总是嘲笑我的方式。（在way后面的定语从句的引导词通常被省略。）
5．“We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese.” she said. 她说：
“对于某件事我们谈得很兴奋时，我们就会以说汉语而告终。”
get excited about sth 相当于be excited about sth，意为“对……感到兴奋”。
end up 意为“结束”，其后是动词是应接动名词形式.
e.g. At first they hated each other, but they ended up getting married.
他们起初相互仇恨，到后来却成了夫妻。
Section B
1．I make mistakes in grammar. make mistakes 犯错误
mistake 可数名词，指言语或行动上的“错误，失误”，可说make a mistake 或make mistakes
e.g. It is easy to make a mistake. 犯错误是很容易的。
e.g. I made the mistake of giving him my address. 我真不该把我的地址给他。
e.g. I’m sorry. I took your pen by mistake. 对不起，我错拿了你的钢笔。
mistake 还可以用作动词，意为“弄错；误以为；误会”。
e.g. I mistook his meaning. 我误解了他的意思。
e.g. We often mistake her for her twin sister. 我们常常误以为她是她的双胞胎姐姐。
2．I don’t have a partner to practice English with. 我没有在一起练习英语的伙伴。
to practice English with是不定式用作定语。当它与它所修饰的词之间在逻辑上是
动宾关系时，有时要加上适当的介词。类似的用法有：
I don’t have a pen to write with. 我没有笔写。
They didn’t have room to live in. 他们没有房间住。
3．Also I was afraid to speak in class.而且我还不敢在课堂上发言。
be afraid to do sth. 不敢做某事（因害怕而不敢）
e.g. He is afraid to climb that tree.他不敢爬那棵树。
be afraid of sb. / sth /doing sth.害怕某人 / 某事 / 做某事（强调害怕某种后果）
e.g. Are you afraid of your new teacher?你们害怕你们的新老师吗？
e.g. He is afraid of dog.他怕狗。
4．Another thing was English grammar. 另一个我发现非常难的
是英语语法。
划线部分是一个定语从句。that引导从句并且在从句中作found的宾语。difficult
作宾语补语。
5．Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning.
划线部分是分词短语，在句中做状语。I was learning 是定语从句，修饰grammar.
