36、he important language points in groups. Then give them some explanation.1. The room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall, with a large pot at one end. 孩子们住的房间是一个很大的石头砌成的厅,在一角有一个很大的锅。 (1) 这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。定语从句的引导词是介词(in)+which;同时该句还含有with的复合结构:with + n/ pron. + 介词短语(at one end)。(2) feed: 喂
37、(养)、饲(养),为提供食物。其用法归纳如下: 在feed on/ with中,with后面可跟工具等词。如: He feeds the dogs on/ with fresh meat. She feeds her baby with a small spoon. 【比喻用法】You should water the plant once a week and feed it (=with minerals etc. needed for growth). feed on/ with 主语是“人”或“动物”。意思是:吃;以为食物。如: Cows feed mainly on grass. f
38、eed + 副词/介词+ 宾语 意思是:(尤指连续地)投入;供给。如: You feed in the money here and the coffee comes out there. feed + 双宾语 =provide with(非正式用法),如: We fed the spy some false information in the hope that he would pass it back to his government. 2. Each boy was allowed one bowl of soup and no more, except on special ho
39、lidays when he was given another 60 grams of bread. 每个孩子可以得到一碗汤,仅此而已,除非在特殊的节假日,才能得到60克的面包。(1) 这是一个较复杂的复合并列句。在第二个并列句中有一个由when引导的定语从句修饰先行词on special holidays。(2) except on special holidays意思是“除了在之外”。except的用法总结如下: except用于表示同类事物之间的关系,其意为“除以外”、“除去”。 后面可接名词、代词、动词、副词、介词短语和从句等。例如: (a) We have an English l
40、esson every day except Saturday. (接名词)(b) They all went to the concert last Sunday except Jack. (接代词)(c) Every day Mary does nothing except watch TV. (except后接动词时,一般为带to的动词不定式。但如果except前面有谓语动词do或其相应形式时,后面通常接省略to的动词不定式。如此句。) (d) He always goes to work by bus except recently. (接副词)(e) After supper the
41、 students went nowhere except to their own classroom. (接介词短语) (f) My father usually goes out for a walk after supper except when it rains/ on rainy days. (接从句/ 介词短语) except常用在all, whole, any, every, no等词,及anything, anybody, anyone, everything, everybody, everyone等不定代词之后。例如: (a) She ate everything on
42、 the plate except the pork. (b) Ive cleaned all the rooms except the kitchen. except与except for的用法区别:(a) except后排除的内容与主语往往是同一类的;而except for后所排除的内容与主语往往不是同一类的,汉语常翻译成“美中不足的是”。试比较: All the books are excellent except this one. 所有的书都很好,这本除外。 All the books are excellent except for their pictures. 或者 All t
43、he books are excellent except that the pictures which the books contain arenot good. 所有的书都很好,除了书中的插图外。(b) 当except用在句首时,往往改用except for。例如: There was no single person in the dark street that night except a policeman on his duty. 相当于:Except for a policeman on his duty, there was no single person in the
44、 dark street that night. except that. 也是“除去一点外”的意思,但应注意恰当地使用引导词。若从句句意和结构完整,只需用引导词that,其他情况下,可以出现except + what/when。【例题】 The suit fitted him well _ the color was a little brighter. (Key: B) A. except for B. except that C. except when D. besides Can you tell me all about the earthquake? (Key: C )Sorry
45、, I know nothing about it _ I read in the newspaper.A. except B. except for C. except what D. except that Mr Green usually goes to work by bus _ it rains. (Key: B)A. besides B. except when C. except what D. beside3. He stared in a complete astonishment at the child and held on to the pot for support
46、. 他非常惊讶地盯住那孩子,手扶在锅上,撑住自己。(1) 这是一个简单句。stare at的意思是“盯住看”;in a complete astonishment意思是“完全惊讶地”。 (2) hold on to = hold onto 抓住(某物)。而hold on本意是“抓住、抓牢;等候、等待”等。 hold on to sth 抓住、抓牢;保留;继续感到、仍然相信。如:(a) Hold on to the seat in front when we get round the corner.(b) Hold on to the instructions in case you have
47、 any problems.(c) I always hold on to a belief that one day he would succeed. hold on to sb 不让(某人)离开;不让(某人)做想做的事。如:A mother cant hold on to her children for ever. 【例】We thought of selling this old furniture, but weve decided to _it. It might be valuable. (NMET 2002,第31题) A. hold on toB. keep up with C. turn to D. look after【解析】这里考察动词短语的用法。原句意思是“我们本想把旧家具给卖掉,但是我们决定还是
