Period 6 Language Focusing The General Idea of This
Period
This is the sixth period of this unit.In this unit, we will mainly deal with the language points
in the material that we have learnt, including some words, phrases and sentence patterns.Because
we have talked about, read and to the material, and the students are already familia r with
them.The aims of this class are to let the students know the usage of these words, phrases and
sentence patterns; help the students to use them correctly and finish some exercises about the
words, phrases and sentence patterns.First check their homework.Secondly, present the usage of
the words, phrases and sentence patterns.In order to have a deep impression on them, you can ask
the students to find them in the context and underline them, because on one hand, they have learnt
them; on the other hand, that will help to develop the students’ ability of learning by
themselves.To make them more familiar with the words, phrases and sentence patterns, the teacher
can give them more practice, both oral and written.Meanwhile, the teacher will help them to make
up sentences, to improve their ability of using the language and imagination.As to consolidation,
the students are supposed to make sentences by themselves, using the new words and phrases in
this unit.At last, they are asked to finish some of the exercises on Page 4 and Page 42 and Page 43
as their homework.

this grammar.Look at the multiple choices on the blackboard.Please finish it as quickly as possible,
then we will check the answers.
1.__________ by the beauty of nature, the girl from London decided to spend another two
days on the farm.

5.The pilot asked all the passengers on board to remain__________ as the plane was making

1.答案：B
解析：by 是解题的关键, 应选表示被动的 B 项或 C 项。根据题意选择 B 项。
2.答案：D
解析：know 与 words, expressions 和 phrases 是被动关系, 而该被动结构不表示进行, 故
排除 A 项; B 项常用来作状语, 强调该动作发生在主句动作之前; C 项不合题意。
3.答案：B
解析：be known as“作为……而出名”, 此处为非谓语动词, 故只用 known as。
4.答案：C
解析：此题考查过去分词作定语的用法。advised “建议”, attended “出席, 照料”, attempted
“试图, 尝试”, admitted “承认, 接收”。本句意为“一个男人正被询问有关昨晚试图进行的谋杀
案”。
5.答案：C
解析：此题考查动词 seat 的用法。seat 作动词时常与反身代词连用或以过去分词形式出
现。

他们每一个都和蔼可亲, 使我一点也不拘束。
T: And how about this one“Tom is so strong that he can lift the stone with ease.”
Ss: 汤姆身体很强壮, 能轻易地举起那块石头。
T: So here“with ease”means“without any difficulty”.Right?Then let’s talk about the
word“expose”.It means“uncover, leave uncovered or unprotected”.It is often used with“to”.So
how can we say 使皮肤暴露于阳光下?
Ss: Expose one’s skin to the sun.
T: What’s the Chinese meaning of Sentence 4?
Ss: 哪个司机该负责？
T: Pay attention, the phrase“be to blame”means“be responsible for sth. bad”, “deserve to be

I suggested to him that we should start earlier.
我向他建议我们早点动身。

His words suggested that he was angry.
他的话表明他生气了。
(When“suggest”means 建议, we should use subjunctive mood in“that clause”)
T: “make sense”means“have an understandable meaning”.Please translate my sentences:
1)你的话没有道理。
2)这些词藻堆砌在一起讲不通。
Answers: 1) What you say makes no sense.
2) These words are jumbled up and don’t make sense.
T: And we have the phrase“make sense of sth.”which means 理解或弄懂困难的事物.
T: ...
Step 4 Learning some sentence structures
T: Now let’s learn some sentence structures.Can you find the sentence in the passage?Can
you translate it into Chinese?But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary
people exposed to cholera.
S: 一想到要帮助那些受到霍乱威胁的普通百姓, 他就感到很振奋。
T: Can you help me to analyze this sentence?
S: Let me have a try.In this sentence, the subject is“he”, the predicate is“became
inspired” .“when clause”is an adverbial clause for time.In this adverbial clause, “exposed to
cholera”is used as the attribute.
T: Well done.You should pay special attention to the word“exposed”in this sentence.It is used
as an attribute.Are you clear?
Ss: Yes.
T: In the sentence“So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an
outbreak.”, Can you explain“every time”to us?
S: every time 在这起一个从属连词的作用, 后面接从句。类似的短语还有 each time, the
moment, the minute 等等。如:
1) I will write to you the moment I get to Beijing.
2) The old woman couldn’t help crying each time she thought of her son who died in the
battle.
T: Then look at this sentence“He got interested in two theories explaining how cholera killed
people.”Why should we use“explaining”here?
S: It is also used as an attrib ute.We can change this sentence into another form: He got
interested in two theories which explained how cholera killed people.
T: How about this sentence“Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other
planets in the sky make sense.”
S: 这句话的意思是: 只有当你把太阳放在中心位置上, 天空中其他行星的运动才能说
得清楚。这是一句倒装句。因为 only 从句放在句首, 句子要用部分倒装结构。
T: Can you give us more examples?
S: Only by studying hard can we learn English well.
Step 5 Consolidation
T: We have just learned some words, phrases and some sentence structures.Do you have any
other difficulties?Now look through the passages to understand more and find out your own
puzzles.
(The students should be allowed to read the passages, while the teacher had better give them
7
individual help if necessary.If there are some common problems, the teacher should explain them
in the whole class.)
T: If you haven’t any problems, let’s have a competition.You can choose any of the words or
phrases we learned to make up some sentences.For each sentence, I will give you ten marks.The
more, the better.Now, let’s begin.
Ss: ...
(Finally the teacher should sing highly of the winner, and encourage the others to work hard
to succeed next time.)
Step 6 Homework
T: After class, please go over what we have learned today and make up a story in which you
had better try to use as many new words and phrases in this unit as possible.Then finish the
exercises on Page 4, Page 42 and Page 43.
