二、学海导航
【学法指要】
单元难点疑点思路明晰
1. So far as I know , it’s free . 就我所知，那是免费的
〖明晰〗so far as =as far as 引导比较状语从句，在句中作插入语，常用逗号与主句隔开。
So far as I know , not all of them passed the quiz .
2．The + 比较级 ，the + 比较级
First , it must be very light , the lighter the better . 首先，它必须很轻，越轻越好。
〖明晰〗the lighter the better 省略了不少的成分，补充完整是：the lighter it is , the better it will be . 这种句型表示前者与后者在程度上同样增加或者同样减少，汉语是“越……，越……”，前面是从句，后面是主句。又如：
The more we get together , the happier we will be .
The more , the better . 多多益善。
另外注意本单元出现的“比较级 + and + 比较级”表示“越来越……”。如：
Satellites are used more and more to take photos of the earth and to produce maps .
3．First , …… Second , ……
First , it must be very light , …… Second , it usually contains very expensive cameras .
〖明晰〗叙述事物的先后顺序时常用：First…, second …, third …, lastly …。也可以用：First…, secondly…, thirdly …, lastly … 。另外，高一曾学习过“first … later / then …” 以及“For one thing … ; for another …”句型表达顺序。如：
First , I wish you good health ; second , I wish you success in your work ; and third , I wish you good luck in everything .
4. Once + 时间状语从句
Once the satellite goes into its orbit round the earth , the panels are unfolded in order to catch the sunshine . 一旦卫星进入地球轨道，帆板就打开来吸收阳光。
〖明晰〗由 once 引导的时间状语从句表示“刚……就……”，“一旦……就……”。用以说明主句动作紧跟在从句动作之后发生。从句中用现在时代表将来时。从句还可以使用省略结构。如：
Once you step into our village , you’ll see how greatly it has changed .
Once seen , the film will never be forgotten .
5. 介词 + 关系代词型定语从句
There is a rocket motor on the satellite by which the direction of the satellite can be changed if necessary . 卫星上有一个火箭马达，必要时可以用它来改变卫星的方向。
〖明晰〗定语从句的先行词是 a rocket motor , by which 引导一个定语从句。定语从句中介词的选择受上下文的制约，或者与前面的先行词有搭配关系，或者与后面的动词有搭配关系。这里的 by 表“通过、用”。又如：
There are many research stations on the earth in which outer space is studied . (in 与 先行词 research stations 的搭配)
Who is the comrade with whom you just shook hands ?（with 与动词词组shake hands 的搭配）
另外，在定语从句中还有一个省略式的状语的 if necessary ，if 后省略了 it is 。又如：Put in an article where necessary . 在有必要的地方填上一个冠词。
【妙文赏析】
How easy it all was for police and emergency (紧急) service . A siren (警报器) , a flashing light and like magic everyone was out of the way .
Going home from work one night he passed a garage . There in front of him was the answer to his problem . An old ambulance (救护车)was for sale .
The red cross had been removed . But not the flashing light or the siren . He bought it and opened up for himself a dream-world of driving .
It began early in the morning , all his things in the back of the ambulance and the highway in Germany looking reasonably clear . Soon , as always , a long line of traffic was ahead . He turned on the flashing light and set off the siren . Cars quickly slowed and pulled off the fast lane (车道). Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own . In record time he crossed the border into Austria . But then the Yugoslav made his big mistake . Until then he had only stopped for oil . Now he was driving past a real accident — lights flashing too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam (阻塞) as he had expected . Police on the scene had never seen an ambulance do that before . They stopped him . And after hearing the story of his ride across two countries they fined him $18.50 .
1. What was the Yugoslav’s problem ?
A. He met other foreign drivers. B. He couldn’t find an ambulance.
C. He admired police and emergency service. D. He got caught in terrible traffic jam.
2. He decided to buy the ambulance because ________.
A. he knew other traffic always moved over for it
B. he had always wanted one
C. he hoped to resell it and make money
D. he liked the siren and the flashing light
3. Other cars on the highway slowed down or pulled off the fast lane ________.
A. when they waved to them
B. when they heard the siren or saw the flashing light
C. when the police told them to let the ambulance pass
D. when they saw the red cross on the ambulance
4. When the police stopped him ________.
A. they told him he had been followed all the way
B. he had been driving dangerously
C. they found he had $18.50 in his pocket
D. he had just driven straight past an accident
答案与赏析：1 — 4 DABD 。本篇属于故事类，叙述一个南斯拉夫人买了一辆救护车从德国路径奥地利回国途中的一段奇遇。1. 由于塞车经常被堵在路上才有买救护车的想法，照应了第二段中“There in front of him was the answer to his problem .”2. 顺理成章，买救护车的目的就是为了避免塞车，因为其它车辆都要为救护车让道。3. 警报器、闪亮警灯都是救护车的标志，听到或者看到都会自觉让道。4. 南斯拉夫人以为又是塞车，拉响警报器闯关，但这儿是交通事故，理应停车救护，故警察拦下救护车。

【心中有数】
单元语法发散思维
一、“介词 + 关系代词”的使用技巧
“介词 ＋ 关系代词”既可引导限制性定语从句，也可引导非限制性定语从句。掌握好这类定语从句，要注意以下几点：
〖思维〗1. 关系代词的选择
紧跟在介词后的关系代词（不能省略）通常只有三个：whom 、which 和 whose 。关系代词用 whom 时，先行词必指人；用 which 时，先行词必指物（或事）；用 whose 时，先行词可指人也可指物（或事），但 whose 在定语从句中是作定语的，它后面必须跟它修饰的名词。如：
The man with whom I shook hands just now is my daughter\'s English teacher .
He built a telescope through which he could study the stars .
The driver was the man from whose room the thief had stolen the bag .
She opened a small box , in whose corner lay a necklace .
★ 有时置于关系代词之前的介词能被移到定语从句的句中（或句尾）。当介词被移后时，关系代词 whom 可以换成 who 或 that ；which 可以换成 that （特殊情况除外），而且 whom 、who、that 、 which 皆可省去。如：
Do you know the boy to whom I spoke just now ? =Do you know the boy (whom / who / that ) I spoke to just now ?
The pen with which I\'m writing is not mine . =The pen (which / that) I\'m writing with is not mine .
This is the house in which I once lived . =This is the house (which / that) I once lived in .
★ 当先行词是表示时间、地点、原因的名词，而且“介词 ＋ which ”在定语从句中分别是作时间状语、地点状语、原因状语，“介词 ＋ which ”可分别被关系副词 when 、 where 、why 替代。如：
I still remember the day on which ( =when ) I met Professor Smith .
This is the house in which ( =where ) I once lived .
I don\'t know the reason for which ( =why ) he went abroad .
但下面一句中的“ to which ”不能换成“ where ”，因为，它不是作地点状语的。
This is the house to which we paid a visit last month .
2. 介词的选择。
定语从句由“介词 ＋ 关系代词”引导时，介词的选择受上下文的制约。在结合语意的基础上，可以从下面几个角度判断该用什么介词。
★ 看先行词与哪一个介词是习惯“介 ＋ 名 ” 搭配的。如：
This is the factory in which he works . ( in the factory 在工厂）
This is the farm on which he works .（ on the farm 在农场）
★ 看定语从句中的动词是与哪一个介词形成习惯“动 ＋ 介 ”搭配。如：
The car on which he spent 40,000 yuan is made in N anjing . (spend money on sth .)
The car for which he paid 40,000 yuan is made in Nanjing . (pay money for sth .)
★ 既要看定语从句中的动词，又要看先行词有何习惯“动 ＋ 介 ＋ 名”搭配。如：
I don\'t know the student with whom Mary quarreled yesterday . (quarrel with sb .)
I don\'t know the thing about which they quarreled yesterday . (quarrel about sth . )
3. “介词 ＋ 关系代词”的复杂化
★ 复合介词 ＋ 关系代词
关系代词之前除了能用简单介词外，也能用复合介词。如：
Tom studies in a new school , at the back of which there is a big river .
She gave a friendly smile to the worker , in front of whom sat a little cat .
★ 名词（〈不定〉代词、数词、形容词最高级）＋ of ＋ 关系代词
例如： I live in an old house , whose door is made of bamboo .
注意：“ whose ＋名词”常可换成“名词 ＋ of ＋ 关系代词( whom / which )”上句可改成：
I live in an old house , whose door is made of bamboo .
She has two sons , neither of whom is tall .
In our class there are fifty students , most of whom are good at English .
I talked with an old worker , one of whose daughters is a scientist .
China has thousands of rivers , the longest of which is the Changjiang River .
二、whose 引导的定语从句
whose 是英语中唯一能够在定语从句中充当定语的一个关系代词，意为“……的”。它既可引导限制性定语从句，也可引导非限制性定语从句。与that , whom , which 又有着截然不同的用法。同学们须认真掌握，其主要用法如下：
1. 指人。
Do you know the boy whose brother is a postman ?
This is the student whose handwriting is the best in our school .
2. 指物。
The lives in a small room , whose windows face the north .
I want to buy the coat whose colour is the lightest .
注意：(1) whose 指人时，一般可以和 of whom 互换。
Do you know the boy , the brother of whom is a postman ?
This is the student , the handwriting of whom is the best in our school .
(2) whose 指物时，一般可以和 of which 互换。
He lives in a room , the windows of which face the north .
I want to buy the coat , the colour of which is the lightest .
3. whose 引导的定语从句作主语的定语时，一般不用 of which / whom来替换。
Mr Li , whose car was stolen last week , got very angry .
The factory , whose boss hurt in the accident , produces a lot of useful things every year .
4. 如果主句是由who , which等引导的疑问句，从句中最好不用 whose , 以免意义混乱。
Who is that girl , the mother of whom died last month ?
Whose is the house , the windows of which are all broken ?

（请同学们改好后把答案反馈给我们）

【创新园地】答案与说明：
1 . doctor → doctor\'s。此处须用名词所有格形式表示“医生的汽车”。2 . In → To . in surprise 意为“惊奇地”，指人的内在心理；to one\'s surprise 意为“使某人吃惊的是，出乎意料地”，指外界的事变导致人的心理感觉。3 . 在 out 后加 of。out of 表示“从……出来”，get out of the car 意为“从汽车上下来”。(这是一习惯用法，比较：get off the bus / train . ) 。4 . wanted 后加 to。句中 telephone 后有宾语，是动词，故want 后须接带 to 的不定式作宾语。5 . 去掉 help 前的 the。句中 help 是抽象名词，通常情况下其前不加冠词。6 . patient → patients。“one of…”表示“很多人(或物)中的一个”，所以 of 后面须接可数名词复数。7 . quick → fast。quick 和 fast 均为形容词，都有“快，迅速”之意，但 quick 侧重动作的短促、迅速，即一瞬间的动作(有时也指人的思维敏捷，反应灵敏)；fast 侧重一段时间内不间断的快速运动，指人或物本身具有速度快的特点。8 . have → has。句中主语是 a very bad accident，是单数，故句中谓语动词须用单数与其保持一致。9 . √ . 10 . a → the。此处所提到的 driver 并非泛指，而是特指文中出了车祸的“那位司机”，故其前应用定冠词。

Eating In Space
Eating in space is different from eating on earth . The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat on earth .
Some food is carried in closed bags . It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it . All the water is removed from the food . In the space capsule (密封座舱) , the astronauts puts the water back . He “shoots”hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun . He eats the food through a small hole in the bag .
Other foods come in bite sizes . The astronauts puts a whole piece in his mouth at a time . There can be no crumbs (碎屑) . Crumbs would float around the capsule and get in the way . Meat , cake , and cereal (谷类) often come in bite-sized pieces .
Astronauts cannot drink water from open cups . The water would float in drops in the air . The water is put in the special gun . The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth .

Between 1953 and 1960, 110 people in Japan’s Minimata Bay area died mysteriously. Studies showed that people had eaten fish in which quantities of mercury(汞)were found. Where did it come from? It was poured into the bay by a plastics plant. The Japanese government closed that plant and started strictly controlling the use disposal(处理)of mercury compounds(化合物).But this didn’t prevent another terrible event.
In 1965, 26 people at Nigata, Japan, were struck by mercury poisoning. Five died. All of them had eaten fish with mercury in it. And again it was caused by a plastics plant.
Events like these are not limited to agriculture or plastics plants. Because of such events, however, it is clear that we must maintain a close watch over our practices concerning poisons, foods and water. Indeed, in our industrial age close watch may forever be the price of health.

Maps are our oldest literature(文献), older than books. People think a map was the first thing the Human ever wrote the communicate each other. Perhaps one million years ago, with a stick in the mud of a lake bed, the earlier the Human drew some lines to stand for the lake, a river, a thick forest and some good hunting grounds beyond the forest.
It made so much sense that people took it for magic(魔术). They expressed the world in a picture. There was something so real about this new thing called “map” that it helped us believe we could get there. It not only strengthened belief that good hunting existed beyond the forest, but it strongly suggested that the future existed; it was a place we could go to and be there, tomorrow. What a comfort. On maps all paths lead somewhere.

In 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honour Greeks’ chief god, Zeus(向希腊主要神祗宙斯献礼). The Greeks emphasized(注重)physical fitness and strength in their education of youth.
