Unit17 Famous women 一、课文背景知识本单元的话题是世界杰出女性居里夫人（1877-1934）原子能时代的开创者之一，世界上第一个两次诺贝尔奖获得者，二十世纪最有声望的女人—居里夫人。癌，这个吞噬人们生命的怪物，在人类历史的长河中，曾几何时奔荡不羁，象战争的罪犯，给人们留下痛苦和死亡。人们无时无刻不在寻找同它斗争的武器。可是，一个世纪又一个世纪地过去了，直到二十世纪初，波兰伟大的科学家玛丽.居里——斯克洛道夫斯卡和她的丈夫埃尔.居里发现了一个新的放射性元素——镭。它可以破坏被病毒侵蚀了的细胞，然后构成新的、健康的细胞组织。这样，镭就成了治癌的有利武器。居里夫人历经磨难，但意志坚强，且鄙视名利。她光辉的一生足以照亮她所生活的那个时代。她给我们以深刻的教益和启迪。一次，有一位报社记者前来采访这位科学家，想把她的事迹报道出去。她坚定地回答：“在科学上重要的是研究出来的‘东西’，不是研究者的‘个人’。她还说，”人必须有耐心，特别是要有信心”，我们应该相信，自己对于某种事业有特殊的才干，并且应该不惜任何代价来完成这个事业。”有名的学者爱因斯坦曾经这样评价居里夫人：“在我所认识的所有著名人物里面，居里夫人是唯一不为盛名所颠倒的人。”Mother Teresa（1990-1997）一位天使英雄（angel hero），一生为普通民众行善的修女，有一段评价为证——“on September5, 1997, late in the evening around 9:30 p.m., Mother Teresa goes to Heaven in the Mother house in Calcutta. Totally finished and worn out, as she had given herself totally, wholeheartedly, freely and unconditionally to the poorest of the poor, for the love of jesus."”Helen Thayer著名的探险家和作家（Adventurer and author），第一位独立到北极,和撒哈拉沙漠的女性（first solo woman to make the North Pole trekking, the first woman to walk across the Sahara Desert）。Thayer 有很多精彩的话语，既反映了他的真实心态，也激励着千万人不畏艰难挑战人生。这里仅列举几则——”push on even when it seems impossible." ," A goal is only a dream if you don't have a plan." ;" My journey was like life itself," " We all have our problems as we traver to our goals, but we cai all reach our goals just as I did, one step at a time, never giving up on ourselves. If we reach for the top and believe we can do it, we can all make our dreams come true."; "Age is no barrier to your dreams and goals," ;"We regard our bodies as finely tuned machines that have to be maintained," "Once people start thinking they're over the hill, they are." ;" I like to see what's on the other side of the hill." 。Oprah Winfrey美国著名电视节目主持人（ a successful TV personality，entertainment executive ），她出身黑人家庭，但事业卓群，她的娱乐节目有极高的艺术性，也富有浓郁的人情味，因而被誉为“荧屏常青树”，获得系列殊荣，“Oprah Winfrey was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th century by Time Magazine，and in 1998 received a lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences。When Forbes magazine published its list of America'a billionaires for the year 2003, it disclosed that Oprah Winfrey was the first African-American woman to become a billionaire.二、疑难详解1. Alone in Antarctica 独自在南极[问]alone的含义和用法是怎样的？[答]作为形容词，along 意为“单独地，独自地，独一无二的”， 一般用作表语，用在名词或代词之后时为“只有，唯有，仅仅”等， alone还可用作副词，意为“单独；独自”，例如：He was alone in the house .他独自一人在家里。I am not alone in thinking so. 并非只有我才这样想的。Smith alone knew what happened. 只有史密斯知道发生了什么事。[习惯用法]all alone独自一人，孤零零地； leave sb. (sth.) alone 听其自然，不要去管，让某人（某物）独自留在那儿；let sb. (sth). alone 听其自然，不要去管，让某人（某物）独自留在那儿；leave severely alone 绝对不理，不介入；敬而远之；不再打交道，不再去干；let alone 至于……更不必说；let sb.

Antarctica. 除了在世界的另一端即南极旅行，还能做什么别的呢？[问]此句中but怎么理解？[答]but在此句中作介词，相当于except，意为“除……之外”，又如：no one but me 除我以外没别人No one but she saw the prowler.除她以外没有一个人看见那个行窃者。传统的语法学家考虑当but用于表示例外的意思时应该用什么形式的代词，比如No one but I (或者No one but me )has read it 。 有人认为but在这种句子中是个连词，因此应该使用主格I。然而虚度语法雪茄的讨论有些不一致，即当but短语出现在句子末尾时用宾格me比较合适，如No one has read it but me （除我以外没有人读过它）。同时这种结构前置处理的重要性是值得考虑的，并且不会被认为是不正确的。此处，but还可用作连词表示转折，用作副词意为“几乎，仅仅”，如：I was going to write, but I lost your address. 我本来要写信的，可是把你的地址弄丢了。（连词）The job is all but finished!这工作差不多完成了！（副词）3. My dog team weren't with me to pull my sled. 我没有群狗来为我拉雪橇。[问]本句的主语是my dog team 为什么谓语动词用复数weren't?[答]team形式上是单数，但有时候表达复数的含义，谓语动词用复数，在语法上这称做“主谓一致”。试比较：Our team is sure to win this game. 我们的球队肯定会赢得这场比赛。our team are taking exercise now. 我们的队员正在训练。family, group, crowd, class, government, company, population 等作主语时，也应根据“意义一致”的原则，按所表达的含义确定其谓语动词形式。4. Another journey of challenge and danger was about to began. 又一次挑战和危险的旅行即将开始。[问]be about to do sth. 是什么意思？[答]be about to 是一种将来时表达法，表示最近的将来，意思为“正要……”“即将……”。需要注意的是，若句子中有具体的时间状语则不能用be about to， 而要用be going to， 如：When I saw Mary, she was about to get on the bus. 我看到玛丽时，她正要上车。Hurry up!They are going to finish the work in five minutes. 快点！他们五分钟就做完了。此外，“be to do sth,"亦可表示“按计划或那派将要做某事”。如：We are to have to meeting this afternoon. 我们今天下午要开会。5. I had travelled only two hours one day when the winds incresed so much that I had to put my tent up before the winds became too strong. 一天我刚走了两小时，这时风变得太大，我不得不在强风到来之前搭起帐篷。[问]此句中的when 是什么用法？so much that 是什么意思？[答}when用作连词，意为“正在……的时候”（=at the very moment),如，We were about to start when it began to rain. 我们正要出发。这时候就开始下雨了。so... that 意为“如此……以致……”与such...that同义，但so是副词，修饰形容词或副词。例如：He was so hardworking that he was praised by the teacher.他很勤奋，所以受到老师的表扬。His arms were so long he could touch the ceiling. 他手臂很长，能摸到天花板。The weather was so fine that we all went out for a walk.天气这么好，我们都去散步了。6.

I had fallern into a hole and was hanging on the ropes tied to the sled.我掉进了一个窟窿，正悬在连接着雪橇的绳子上 。[问]tied to the sled 是什么结构？在句子中有何作用？[答]这是一个过去分词短语在句中作定语，相当于一个定语从句，修饰名词ropes, 过去分词短语作定语时常位于被修饰的名词之后。又如：Today's computers are of much difference from tomorrow. 今早发出的信件她明天就可收到了。而单个的过去分词作定语常位于名词之前，如：The cold wind was blowing through a broken window. 寒风从破碎的窗子吹了进来。8. If I keep lying on the ice. I would soon die. 如果我继续躺在冰上，我会冻死的。[问]keep doing sth. 是何意？[答]keep doing sth. 意为“继续做某事”，如:The owner of the shop kept talking all the time. 店主一直在说话。It kept raining for three days. 雨连续下了三天。[辨析]keep doing sth. 表示连续不断的动作或同一动作持续的状态，而keep on doing sth. 意为：继续做，反复做某事”，强调动作的重复性，如：Why do you keep on asking such silly questions?你干嘛老问这样的傻问题呢？She kept on working although she was tired. 她尽管很累但仍继续干活。值得一提的是，keep on 后只能接表示动作的-ing形式如talking，walking， crying等，而不能接表示静止状态的-ing 形式如standing, lying, sitting,sleeping等。如我们不可以说: He kept on standing for half an hour. 但我们可以说：He kept standing for half an hour.9.

Wait to get better or give up ?我必须做出决定，是等待情况好转还是放弃呢？[问]make a decision 怎么理解？give up, give in 和give out 有何区别？[答]make a decision 意为“决定下来，作出决定，下决心”等，与decision连用的短语还有：came to a decision 做出决定； arrive at a decision 做出决定；reach a decision 做出决定；give a decision for 判决对……有利；give a decision against 判决对……不利；give a decision against判决对……不利；leave ... to the decision of 由……来决定（某事）；with decision 断然，等等。give up和give in都有“让步；放弃”的含义；give up指行为或努力受挫或别的原因儿童主动放弃，可用作及物东西，跟名词或v.-ing作宾语；也可作不及物动词；give in 指不再坚持自己的行为或观点等，而按别人的要求去做，一般作不及物动词；give out意为“用完；耗尽；体力不支”，是不及物动词。例如：The wind was strong and the waves were big, so he had to give up attempting /his attempt to swim the channel. 风急浪高，他只好放弃横渡海峡的打算。We must under no circumstances give up halfway. 我们绝不能半途而废。As neither of the two sides would give in, the agreement fell through. 由于双方都不肯让步，所以没能达成协议。10. In her television shows she makes if possible to talk about great moment and difficulties in people's lives.她在电视节目中使得谈论人民生活中的辉煌时刻和难题成为可能。[问]怎么粉刺此句结构？怎样理解此句中的it？[答]make...possible 意为“使……成为可能”， it在此用作形式宾语，真正的宾语是动词不定式短语 to talk about great moment and difficulties in people's lives, 形容词possible 作宾补。又如：If yuo work hard, you will make a good sailor. 如果你肯努力，你将成为一个好水手。Science and technology have made it possible for farmers to produce more grain. 科学技术已经使农民有可能生产出更多的粮食。常用于这个句型的动词还有： find, think, consider等；As he is an old friend of mine, I dind it difficult ot refuse him.出于他是我的老朋友，我觉得很难拒绝他。Do you think it neccessary to say a few words at the meeting?你认为有必要在会上讲几句话吗？He feels it his duty to help others. 他感到帮助别人是他的责任。11.

Sandy could do nothing but ______ to his teacher that he was wrong. A. admit B. admitted C. admitting D. to admit简析：本题考查 but 作介词的用法。do nothing but do sth. 意为“只好做某事”，but 后接动词原形，故答案为A。[高考透视]介词 but 相当于 except，意为“除了”，常与 all, everything, nothing 等不定式代词或等疑问词连用。常见搭配有 nothing but （只有）；do nothing but do something（只好做某事）；cannot but do sth. = can't choose but do sth.（不得不做某事）；have no choice but to do sth.（别无选择只好做某事）；can't help but do sth.（禁不住做某事）等。例：2.—Is John coming by train? —He should, but he ____ not. He likes driving his car. A. must B. can C. need D. may简析：答案为D。根据“He likes driving his car.”可看出 “他也许不会（乘火车来）”。B项虽然语法正确，但不符合语境。从答语看来，说话人并没有十足的把握。[高考透视] must 语气非常肯定，常用于陈述句，may 语气不太肯定，而 can 用在否定句中表示否定的推测或判断，意为“一定不，不可能”等。例：3. We are going to the bookstore in John's car. You can come with us ______ you can meet us there later. A. but B. and C. or D. then简析：本题考查并列连词的含义及用法。but 表示“转折”，and 表示“并列”，or 表示“选择”，then 表示“承接”。分析题意可知 come with us 和 meet us there later 这两个动作既不是转折关系，也不是并列关系，也不是承前启后，而是表示选择，即二者可选其一，故答案为C。例：4. Since you have repaired my TV set, ______ is no need for me buy a new one. A. it B. there C. this D. that简析：本题考查 there be 句型，根据句意“我没必要买新的”不难确定正确答案为B。[高考透视]“there be” 结构中的动词 be 可有各种时态形式，并可与助动词、情态动词或连系动词一起构成谓语，如：There will (is going to) be a meeting on Monday. 星期一有个会议。There has been much talk about the matter. 关于这件事已经说得够多了。There must (might ought to) be a person waiting for you. 一定（可能、应该）有人在等你。There seems to be bo more time now. 看来没时间了。There happened to be an accident on the road. 路上碰巧发生了事故。例：5. The parkers bought a new house but ______ will need a lot of work before they can move in. A. they B. it C. one D. which简析：本题容易受汉语的干扰，误以为“他们需要做很多工作才能搬进去”而选A，误以为 which 在此引导定语从句而选D。正确答案应为B，代词 it 用来替代可数名词 a new house。四、单词详解。 1. inspire [in5spaiE]vt. 鼓舞，感动，激发，启示，使生灵感，产生//vt. 吸入，赋予灵感。例：a leader who inspires by example. 一位身体力行的领袖。I was inspired to work harder than ever before. 我受激励比以往任何时候都更加努力地工作。a philosophy which inspired revolution 一个引起革命的哲学思想。The falling leaves inspired her with sadness .落叶触动了她的伤感。a teacher who inspired admiration and respect. 博得欣赏和尊敬的教师。[记忆技巧]inspired 受到鼓舞的；inspiring 鼓舞人心的[常用词组]inspire a new thought into sb. 将新思想灌输给某人/ inspire sb. with courage 鼓起某人的勇气/inspire sth. in sb. 使某人产生某种感情/激发某人的某种感情/inspire sb. with sth. 使某人产生某种感情/激发某人某种感情/inspire sth. into sb. 把某种思想灌输给某人2. generous [5dVenErEs]adj. 慷慨的，大方的，有雅量的例：He is very generous ---he often buys things for other people.她很大方，经常为别人来买东西。The young heiress was so generous that she gave all her money away in a couple of years. 年轻的女继承人过于大方以致不到几年的功夫就把钱都送掉了。He is generous with his money.他花钱大方。a generous helping of meat and vegetable 一份丰富的肉和蔬菜。[常用词组]a generous gift 大方的礼物/generous harvest 丰收/generous field 肥沃的土地/generous colour 浓颜色/generous wine 气味浓郁的酒/a generous meal 丰盛的一餐3. cheerful [5tFiEful]adj.愉快的, 高兴的，兴致高的；精神愉快的例：a cozy, cheerful room 舒适的，令人愉快的房间He is cheerful in spite of his illness. 他虽然有病但是情绪很好。That's a cheerful remark.
