【知识点详解】
在高中英语Module1 Deep South Section II的Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary部分,我们可以学习到一系列语言点,包括语法、词汇以及阅读理解技巧。以下是这些知识点的详细说明:
1. **非限定性定语从句**:如描述中的句子"She is in a poor state of health, which worries her mother much.",这里的"which"引导的非限定性定语从句对前面主句的信息进行补充说明。
2. **被动语态**:例如:"Firemen were called out to rescue the people trapped in the burning office building." 和 "He was close to being killed yesterday.",两句话都用到了被动语态,强调动作的承受者。
3. **不定式短语作目的状语**:"To keep market prices steady, the government should first keep demand and supply balanced.","To keep"引导的不定式短语表示政府采取行动的目的。
4. **完成时态**:"With all the work finished ahead of time, I feel relaxed and very happy to be reading the papers.",这里使用了过去分词"finished"构成的伴随状语,表示工作已经完成。
5. **现在分词作结果状语**:"John became less careful in practicing the piano, making his parents angry.","making"引导的现在分词短语表示结果。
6. **时态与语态的结合**:"He was promoted to the head of department last month.",这句话中"He"是动作的承受者,且动作发生在过去,所以使用了过去时的被动语态。
7. **虚拟语气**:"He was close to being killed yesterday. A car passed him at what he thought was a dangerous speed.","was close to"暗示了一种未发生但可能性很大的情况,这里可以理解为虚拟语气的一种形式。
8. **阅读理解技巧**:在阅读理解部分,需要掌握如何从文章中提取关键信息,理解作者的观点,以及推理文章中未明确表达的意思,例如:"Bach died in 1750,but it was not until the early 19th century that his musical gift was fully recognized.",这需要理解到Bach的音乐天赋在他去世后一段时间才得到充分认可。
9. **单句改错**:这部分涉及到常见的语法错误,如介词搭配(例如第二个句子的"to→for"),动词形态(如第三个句子的"understood→understand"),名词单复数问题(如第四个句子的"feet→foot"),以及动词与宾语的关系(如第五个句子的"trap→trapped")。
通过以上知识点的学习,学生不仅可以提高英语语言能力,还能提升在实际生活和学术场景中的应用能力。对于准备面试或考试的学生来说,熟练掌握这些语言点至关重要。同时,阅读理解部分的训练有助于提高阅读速度和理解深度,这对于理解和欣赏像南极洲这样的异国旅游目的地的介绍也是必要的。
