五. 語法：

形容詞比較級及其用法。

六. 重點、難點講解：

1. Do you think you are different from Tara?

Because he likes to do the same things as I do.

（be）different from

（be）the same …as

e.g. His life style is quite different from ours.

The twin sisters look the same.

We read the same book as you showed us last time.

2. I’m funnier than Tara. And I’m more outgoing.

（1）形容詞比較級用法：

形容詞比較級用法用于兩者之間的比較，表示一方比另一方“更…”或“較…”，后常跟比較連詞than表被比較的對象。為避免重復than引導的從句中有些與主句相同的部分常省略，而把相比較部分突出。另外，在上下文中，形容詞比較級也可單獨使用。注意：than后常跟名詞，但這是由于than引導的比較狀語從句省略了與主句相同的部分。在進行比較時，一定要注意比較對象要對等。

e.g. His hair is longer than his father’s.

= He has longer hair than his father.

It’s hotter in Shanghai than in Beijing.

China is bigger than any other country in Asia. （any other “任何一個”）

（2）形容詞比較級的構成：

形容詞分原級、比較級、最高級。通常形容詞的比較級為規則變化，在詞尾加-er，以不發音的e結尾的單音節詞和少數以-le結尾的雙音節詞直接加－r，（以輔音加y結尾的變y為i加－er，重讀閉音節以輔音字母結尾的雙寫結尾的輔音加-er）。有的雙音節和多音節的詞，在詞前加more構成比較級。此外還有個別詞為不規則變化，例：good / well - better / best, bad / ill - worse - worst, little - less - least, old - older / elder - oldest / eldest, many / much- more - most, far -farther / further-farthest / furthest

（3）在形容詞比較級前還可用much, even, still, a little來修飾，表示“…的多”“甚至…”“更…”“…一些”。

e.g. This city is much more beautiful than before.

She’s a little more outgoing than me.

It’s a little colder today.

（4）“比較級＋and＋比較級”意為“越來越…”注：多音節比較級用“more and more＋形容詞原級”形式。

It’s getting worse and worse.

The group became more and more popular.

（5）“Which / Who is + 比較級…？”比較A、B兩事物，問其中哪一個較…時用此句型。

e.g. Which T-shirt is nicer, this one or that one?

Who is more active, Mary or Kate?

Which one is more popular among students, going to concerts or going to movies?

3. As you can see, in some ways we look the same, and in some ways we look-different.

“look the same”看上去一樣。

“look like…”看上去像…，look alike看上去相像

in a way為某一種方式

此處look系動詞，后跟形容詞。例：look young / old / tired / nice.

4. We both have black eyes and black hair, although my hair is shorter than hers.

（1）both“兩個、兩者都…”，在句中可作代詞、形容詞、副詞、連詞。作副詞時常放在be動詞之后，實義動詞之前。

e.g. Both （of）his parents are doctors. （作代詞或形容詞）

＝ His parents are both doctors. （作副詞）

They both went camping in the holiday. （作副詞）

Both English and math are very important.

（both …and…短語常連接兩個并列的成分，可連接名詞、動詞、形容詞和代詞等。）

注：both指兩者都，all指三者或三者以上都。

（2）although與though常可互換，表“雖然、即使、盡管”，都不能與but用于一句話中。但though用得更普遍。此外though可作副詞，在句尾表“然而”，although不能。固定短語是even though表“即使、縱然”，不能用even although.

e.g. There are some differences, though.

（3）hers名詞性物主代詞，句中指“her hair”.

5. She has more than one sister 她不止有一個姐姐。

They have some things in common.

（in common共通（同）的）（something某物，some thing某一個事物，some things一些事物）

6. Li Ying is not as good at sports as her sister.

（1）as…as…同級比較，兩個“as”之間必須使用形容詞或副詞原級。意為“如同……一樣…”，not as / so …as“不如…一樣…”

e.g. He runs as quickly as his father.

The watermelon is as big as a soccerball.

She doesn’t study so / as hard as her brother （does）

（2）be good at sth. / doing sth. 擅長于（做）某事。

e.g. They are good at playing badminton.

I’m not good at painting.

Who is good at computer in your class?

7. I think a good friend makes me laugh.

make sb. do sth. 讓（使）某人做某事（make后跟不帶to的不定式）

e.g. His words made us feel so exciting.

The boss made the workers work all day and all night.

8. She’s a good listener, and she keeps secrets.

聽者listener, 說話者speaker

keep a secret保密

9. Is she a lot like you? = Is she like you very much?

（1）a lot 表程度，相當于very much，但位置不同。

（2）be like 像…，like為介詞。

10. elementary school小學

secondary school小學，primary school小學

high school中學

middle school中學

11. enjoy sth. / doing sth. 喜歡（做）某事（物）

enjoy tell jokes, （tell a joke講笑話）

12. I think she should get the job.

Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone 1 another. In this way they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually 2 on one side. People used them for 3 meat and skin from dead animals, and 4 for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to 5 tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat-eating 6 such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more 7 .

Working with tools also helped to 8 human intelligence（智力）. The human brain grew bigger, and human began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools 9 people used, and perhaps 10 the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key 11 the success of mankind.

Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip（硅片）－a little chip of silicon crystal. It is 12 than a fingernail, but it can 13 more than a million“bits”（字節）of information. It is 14 electronic brain.

Every year these chips get leverer, but 15 size gets smaller, and their cost gets 16 . Human beings used 17 chips for more than two million years, but human 18 changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for 19 a few years, but life is changing faster every day.

（A）

Thousands of years ago, people lived only in hot places. They did not live in cold places because they could not keep warm. Then they learned how to make clothes. When an animal was killed, they cut off its skin. They wrapped the skins around their bodies. The skins kept them warm. Skins which had fur on them were the best. Even today some people wear the furs of animals to keep themselves warm.

At first men did not know how to make fire. Sometimes lightning hit a forest and started a fire. Then people took some of this fire to make a fire near their homes. A fire was very important for three reasons. It kept them warm. It also frightened wild animals－they did not attack when they saw a fire. Then another thing was discovered: if you cook food, it tastes much better!

But men still did not know how to make fire. When they had a fire, they did not let it stop burning. If it went out, they could not start it again. They had to wait for lightning to start another fire! Sometimes they had to wait for years.

Later, they discovered how to make fire. If you rub two pieces of wood together, they become hot and burn. You have to rub very fast! One way of doing it is to make a little hole in a piece of wood. Pieces of wood or dry leaves are put into the hole. You rub the stick between your hands. This makes it turn very quickly. The end in the hole becomes very hot. The small pieces of wood and dry leaves begin to burn.

Another way of making fire is to knock two pieces of stone together. This makes a spark. You can use this spark to start a fire.

Today we have matches. We can carry them in our pockets and make a fire when we want to. Many people use heaters to keep warm. Oil heaters burn oil. Gas heaters burn gas. Electric heaters use electricity. We also use oil, gas and electricity for cooking.

1. Once people lived only in hot countries because they did not know how to _____.

A. kill animals B. take fire from forests

C. keep themselves warm D. make matches

2. Animals skins were used ______.

A. for food B. to make fire

C. cut off an animal’s skin D. burn wood

3. Men later discovered how to use fire to ______.

A. cook food B. kill animals

C. cut off an animal’s skin D. burn wood

4. People first learned to make fire by rubbing _____ together.

A. stones B. two pieces of wood C. dry leaves D. matches

5. Today most people in the world use ______ to make a fire.

A. heaters B. matches C. stones D. lightning
