Step 5 Practice
Work on 4a:
1. Tell Ss to read the sentences in 4a and try to fill in the blanks with unless, as soon as, so…that.
2. 方法指导：首先，先阅读所给的词组，明确每个词组的意思。 其次，通读全句，理解大意；然后，根据句意及句子中上下文意的提示来确定空格处的意思。
3.学生们，按老师指导的方法进行阅读，并逐句推敲每空应填什么词组，在实际的运用中提高自己的阅读能力、分析能力及综合运用能力。
4. 最后，教师与同学们一起校对答案，并对学生们有疑问的地方进行解释，或做出合理的分析点拨。
示例：
1) ___________ her father died, the stepsisters made her do all the chores.
as soon as; 点拨：分析句子结构可知，后一句“继姐让她做所有的家务”是主句，上一句“她的父亲死后”应是句子的时间状语。因此，应用as soon as 来引导时间状语从句。 as soon as 意为“一……就”，时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
2) She was ____ busy _____ she had no time to make a dress for the party.
so that; 点拨：分析句意可知“忙”所导致的结果是“没有时间为聚会做一件礼服”。
so… that…
33
意为“如此……以至于”，常用于结果状语从句，表示上文动作所产生的结果，故空格处应用so…that。前后句时态，要保持一致。
3) The mice knew that _______ they helped her make a dress, she would not be able to go to the party.
unless; 点拨：句意“老鼠知道，除非他们帮她做一件礼服，她就会不能去参加那个晚会。”可知前一句是后一句的条件。
unless 意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句，相当于if条件状语从句的否定句；时态遵循“主将从现；主过从过”的原则。
4)___________ the prince saw her, he fell in love with her.
as soon as;点拨：句意“王子一看到她，就爱上了她”，可知上一句应为一时间状语从句，故应用as soon as来引导， 表示“一……就”之意。
5) The prince knew ______ the girl’s foot could fit the shoe, it was not the right girl.
unless; 点拨：句意“王子知道，除非女孩的脚与鞋子合适，否则就不是他要的女孩”，可知上下句之间存在条件关系 故应用unless一词。
6) The new couple were _____ happy ______ they couldn’t stop smiling when they got married.
点拨：句意“这对新婚夫妇是如此的幸福，以至于他们不停地在笑。”，可知上下文之间存在因果关系，“高兴”的结果是“不停地在笑” ，故应用so…that句式。
Work on 4b:
1. 让学生们阅读短文，了解短文的大意，为进行填词做好准备。
2. 认真阅读每个句子，分析句子的时态，根据上下文确定括号中单词应该填的时态。

Step 10 Language points
1. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年，天气太干旱了，以至于粮食颗粒不长。
so… that…是一个常见的句式结构，表示“如此……以至于……”, 副词so之后
接形容词或副词，that引导一个完整的句子，有时that还可省略。例如本单元
的这个句子：That bird’s song is so beautiful that we would follow it.
2. We thought you were never coming back. 我以为你们再也回不来了。
We thought…表示人们过去的某种想法，判断等，可以译作“我们原想……; 我们本以为……”。如：I thought he would come, but he didn’t.
3. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and sugar.
它在把我们引向那座由面包，蛋糕和糖果做成的美妙小屋。
此句中made of bread, cake and sugar作定语，修饰名词house, 形容词wonderful也是house的定语。在英语中，大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置，短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。如：the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人
4. The wife told her husband that unless he left the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.
妻子告诉丈夫，如果他不把孩子们扔到森林里让他们自生自灭，整个家庭就会灭亡。
unless的意思是“如果不，若非，除非”，它引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if…not。因此，上面的句子改写为: …if he didn’t leave the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.
5. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead.
月亮一升起来，我们就可以顺着它们走了。
as soon as 表示 “一……就……”，再如本单元的这个句子：As soon as you wake up, you
33
must go to the forest with your father. 你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去森林里。
