一、疑點難點*
1….it’s okay if you are a bit late.如果你稍遲一點還行。
疑點：a bit在此作狀語修飾late，表示“稍微，一點兒”，可以與a little互用，既可以修飾形容詞、副詞的比較級也可以修飾原級。
如：If you run a little/a bit more quickly， you can catch the bus.如果你再跑得快一點兒的話，你就趕上公交車了。
難點：a bit of與a little 可互相換用，用于修飾不可數(shù)名詞。但要注意not a bit與not a little的區(qū)別，前者表示“一點也不”，而后者表示“許多、很、不只一點點”。
如：He had a bit of /a little bread for his breakfast.他早上吃了點兒面包。
-Are you tired？
-No， not a bit.你累嗎？一點也不累。
He gives me not a little trouble.他給我?guī)碓S多麻煩。
2. Thanks for your message.謝謝你的來信。
疑點：thanks for“為……而感謝”。如：Thanks for giving me such a nice present.謝謝你送我這么精美的禮物。
難點：thanks to表示“由于，幸虧”。如：Thanks to the teacher’s help，we finished the work on time.多虧老師的幫助，我們按時完成了工作。
3. In Switzerland，it’s very important to be on time.在瑞士，準時是很重要的。
疑點：it用作形式主語，代替了真正的主語to be…這一不定式，不定式可以做主語，但是又往往用it作形式主語來代替。
如：To help others is good when they are in trouble.=It’s good to help others when they are in trouble.
幫助那些處于麻煩當中的人是好事。
難點：it還可以用作形式賓語，代替了真正的賓語to do sth.…
如：本單元出現(xiàn)了這樣的句子：I have to say，I find it difficult to remember everything…不得不承認，我發(fā)現(xiàn)記住一切東西是很困難的…
4.Where I’m from，we’re pretty relaxed about time.我所在的地方，對時間是相當寬松的。
疑點：pretty是副詞意思為相當?shù)?，頗。如：He speaks English pretty well. 他英語講得很好。
難點：和pretty相似的詞還有fairly，rather，quite，用法有一定的區(qū)別。
pretty多用于口語；fairly多修飾好的一面的形容詞；rather可修飾不好的或好的一面的形容詞；quite多修飾好的一面的形容詞和無等級之分的形容詞。
如：It’s fairly(quite)interesting(warm，good，etc.).這很有趣(很暖和，很好等)。
It’s rather cold(bad，difficult，etc.).真冷(真糟，真難等)。
The bottle is quite empty.這瓶子完全空了。
注：1)fairly，quite與rather三者程度上差異如下：not good→fairly good→quite good→rather good→very good不好→還好→不錯→相當不錯→很好
2)fairly和rather同是修飾一個詞，意思上有區(qū)別。請比較：
fairly easy 較容易(難度適宜)
rather easy 太容易(缺乏難度)
3)rather和quite可放在動詞之前。如：(1)I rather like this colour.我倒很喜歡這顏色。(2)She quite like him.她確實喜歡他。
4)rather和quite都可和名詞連用，若無形容詞都必須放在冠詞前。
如：(1)He made quite an effort，but he failed in the end.她做了很大努力，可最終還是沒成功。
(2)It’s rather a shame that they have to work on weekends.他們周末還要工作，這有點不公平。
5. You’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread，not even fruit！除了面包，你不可以用手吃任何東西，即使是水果也不行。
疑點：except 除了……之外，但不包括在內(nèi)，是介詞。如：He gets up early every day except Sunday.除星期日外他每天早起。
難點：besides作為介詞，意為除了……之外還有……，而except則是除了……之外別無其他。
如：Except Tom we all went to the Great Wall.除了湯姆之外，我們所有人都去長城了。(湯姆一人沒去)
Besides Tom Li Lei went to the Great Wall.除了湯姆之外還有李蕾去長城了。(湯姆和李蕾都去了。)
二、重點講解
1.Spending time with family and friends is very important to us.
對我們來說與家人和朋友共度時光是很重要的。
本句是動名詞短語spending time with family and friends作主語。
如：Watching TV too much is bad for your eyes.看電視太多對你的眼睛有害處。
2.We often just drop by our friends’homes.我們只是訪問朋友的家。
drop by“訪問，拜訪”，是美式英語，與drop in(on sb.)“順便走訪(某人)”近義。
如：Would you drop up/in tomorrow evening for a chat？你明晚有時間來談?wù)剢幔?BR> 3. Luckily，his mother never gave up trying to help.幸運的是他母親從不放棄盡力的幫助。
如：give up是個短語，表示“放棄，讓給，認輸”，此外drop也可表示“放棄”。
He didn’t give up smoking until he got lung cancer.直到得了肺癌，他才戒煙。
4. Don’t point at anyone with your chopsticks.不要用筷子指著某人。
(1)point…at…瞄準，對著

如：Both the hour hand and the minute hand pointed to twelve.時針和分針都指著十二。
5. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. 他們花盡心血讓我感覺不到拘束。
(1)go out of one’s way to do 特意(花心血、時間)做某事；故意做某事。
如：He went out of his way to help me.他特意幫助我。
(2)make sb./oneself feel/be at home 感覺如在自己家中，無拘束
6. He did so well that he has been invited to study at Oxford University，one of the best universities in the world and a very high honor for any student.
他做得很好，因此被邀請到牛津大學-世界上的大學之一去學習，這對每一位同學來說，都是很高的榮譽。
(1)so…that… 如此……以至于……引導結(jié)果狀語從句。
如：He works so hard that he catches up with others quickly.他工作如此努力，很快就趕上他人。
(2)so that為了，以便，引導結(jié)果狀語從句。
如：She worked hard so that everything would be ready by 6 o’clock.

三、語法展示
1. be supposed to do的用法
1)表示“應該，被期望”。來源：www.examda.com
如：What are you supposed to do when you meet someone？當你遇到某人的時候應該怎么做？
2)用于否定句中可表示“獲準”。如：You are not supposed to smoke on the bus.你不可以在公共汽車上抽煙。
3)be supposed to的主語是物時，它表示“本應、本該”，表示“某事本應該發(fā)生而沒有發(fā)生”。如：The plane was supposed to arrive at 6：00.飛機本應6點鐘到。
4)be supposed to+ have done表示“本應做某事而沒做”。
如：You are supposed to have finished the work so far.到目前為止你們本應早已完成此項工作。
2.動詞不定式或動詞不定式短語作主語
不定式的用法前面已講過，這里主要是不定式作主語的用法。通常使用的句式是it is…to do sth.。
It is important for us to learn English well.學好英語對我們來說是很重要的。
3.多個形容詞修飾同一個名詞時的排列順序
限定詞(a/the， my/this)+數(shù)量詞(先序后基)+大/小+新/舊+顏色+國籍+材料+名詞。如：
an old big brown wooden box 一個舊而大的棕色木箱子
two tall young Japanese girls兩位高個、年輕的日本姑娘
