1、NEW CONCEPT 3,Lesson9-Flying Cat,西方人眼中的猫,猫在西方被称为巫婆的熟友，这起因与中世纪的迷信-撒旦（Satan）魔鬼最喜欢化做一只黑猫，巫婆则常带这一只猫作为熟友相伴。这一迷信源自于有关枷兰提亚（Galenthias）化作一只猫，成了魔术女神海克提（Hecate）的女祭司（Priestess）。 1.在古罗马，猫是自由的象征，自由女神（the goddess of Liberty）常被刻画成脚下伴着一只猫。猫之所以用以象征自由，是因为猫是热爱自由的，没有什么动物像猫那样强烈地反对管制。 2.在古埃及，猫被认为是神圣的。象征着哺育生命的阳光巴斯特女神（the
2、goddess Bast）常被描绘成猫首人身，这大概是因为猫喜欢晒太阳。公元前一世纪著名的希腊历史学家告诉我们，在埃及无论谁杀死了一只猫，哪怕是因事故所致， 也要被处以死刑。 3.雄猫在苏格兰被称作“吉伯猫”（Gib cat），雌猫则被称作“多伊猫”（Doe cat）。猫也用来比喻恶毒的女人，如果你说的是恶言毒语，人们会说你“猫一样的”（catty）,GIB CAT DOE CAT 苏格兰折耳猫Scottish Fold ; Felis Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signszodk,十二生肖，木乃伊,【New words and expressions】,Fascinate

16、我。,Text Analysis,Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become submissive like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect feline independence. Most cats remain
17、suspicious of humans all their lives. One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cats ability to survive falls is based on fact.猫总能引起人们的极大兴趣。它们可以对人友好，充满柔情。但是，它们又有自己神秘的生活方式。它们从不像狗和马一样变
18、得那么顺从。结果是人们已经学会尊重猫的独立性。在它们的一生中，大多数猫都对人存有戒心。最使我们感兴趣的一件事情就是一种通俗的信念猫有九条命。显然，这种说法里面包含着许多真实性。猫在跌落时能够大难不死是有事实作为依据的。,Grammer Points 1. never fail tocant fail to,dont fail to,否定词+fail to（从没不，总能，总会。）never fail to ,双重否定意味肯定，运用双重否定结构加深句子的语义If you ask for help in the polite way,you never fail to succeed.If you

28、,6.One of the things that fascinates us most about planes is the popular fact that they are safe and fast. that引导同位语从句 同位语从句与定语从句的区别 (1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词，同时以在从句中作某个成分（主语或宾语），而同位语从句中的that是连词，只起连接主句与从句的作用，不充当句中任何成分。 (2) 定语从句是形容词性的，其功能是修饰先行词，对先行词加以限定，描述定的性质或特征；同位语从句是名词性的，其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如： 1) The news t
29、hat he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.（他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。）（第一个that引导的从句是定语从句，that在从句中作宾语） 2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.（汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。）（同位语从句，that在句中不作任何成分） 同位语从句的用法： 同位语部分是个句子，就是同位语从句，这种用法比较“固定“ 一、在复合句中用作同位语的从句叫同位语从句。它一般跟在某些名词后面，用以说明该名词表示的具体内容。 I heard the news tha
30、t our team had won我听到了我们队获胜的消息。 二、可以跟同位语从句的名词通常有news，idea，fact，promise，question，doubt，thought，hope，message，suggestion，words（消息），possibility等（一般的“抽象”名词都可用）。 Ive come from Mr wang with a message that he wont be able to see you this afternoon 我从王先生那里来，他让我告诉你他今天下午不能来看你了。 三、英语中引导同位语从句的词通常有连词that，whether，
31、连接代词what，who。连接副词how,when,where等。（注：if,which 不能引导同位语从句。） He must answer the question whether he agrees with it or not. 他必须回答他是否同意这样一个问题。 四、有时同位语从句可以不紧跟在说明的名词后面，而被别的词隔开。 The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city 他突然想起敌人可能已经逃出城了,引导词定语从句和同位语从句共同的引导词有四个：that，when，where，why。下面把四个引导词分
32、成两类说明它们在两种从句中的不同用法。 1引导词that 引导定语从句的that叫做关系代词，它除了起连接作用，还在定语从句中充当一定成分，并且在意义上代表先行词；引导同位语从句的that叫做从属连词，它只起连接作用。不能省略。 例如： The news that you told me yesterday was really exciting We heard the news that our team had won 在句中，加粗部分是定语从句，that在从句中作宾语，在意义上指代先行词news。 在句中，加粗部分是同位语从句，that没有任何意义，只起连接作用。 2引导词when，w
33、here，why 引导定语从句时，它们叫做关系副词，在从句中充当状语，可以转换成“介词+关系代词“的形式；引导同位语从句时，它们叫做连接副词，在从句中充当状语，但不能转换成“介词+关系代词“的形式。 例如： I will never forget the day when I joined the army We have no idea when she was born 在句中，加粗部分是定语从句，when在从句中作状语，它可以转换成on which的形式； 在句中，加粗部分是同位语从句， when在从句中充当状语，但不能转换成“介词+关系代词“的形式。 This is the house
34、 where I lived two years ago He put forward to the question where the meeting would be held 在句中，加粗部分是定语从句，where在从句中作状语，它可以转换成in which的形式； 在句中，加粗部分是同位语从句， where在从句中充当状语，但不能转换成“介词+关系代词“的形式。 This is the reason why she will not attend the meeting The teacher had no idea why Jack was absent 在句中，加粗部分是定语从句
35、，why在从句中作状语，它可以转换成for which的形式； 在句 中，加粗部分是同位语从句，why在从句中充当状语，但不能转换成“介词+关系代词“的形式。 5句式关系 编辑,Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months.

37、aratroopers, a doctor said. 最近，纽约动物医疗中心对132只猫进行了为期5个月的综合研究。所有这些猫有一个共同的经历：它们都曾从高层建筑上摔下来过，但只有其中的8只猫死于震荡或跌伤。当然，纽约是进行这种有趣的试验的一个理想的地方，因为那里根本不缺乏高楼大厦，有的是高层的窗槛从上往下坠落。有一只叫萨伯瑞的猫从32层楼上掉下来，但只摔断一颗牙。“猫就像训练有素的跳伞队员，” 一位医生说。,15.fall off ：坠落，掉落fall off (falling,fell,fallen,falls)1)PHRASAL VERB If something falls off,

At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying squirrel. This increases their air-resistance
42、and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground. 看起来，猫跌落的距离越长，它们就越不会伤害自己。在一个长长的跌落过程中，它们可以达到每小时60里甚至更快的速度。在高速下落中，猫有时间放松自己。它们伸展四肢，就像飞行中的松鼠一样。这样就加大了空气阻力，并减少了它们着地时冲击力带来的震动。,22It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. 典型的the more.the more.句型，用定冠词the修饰形容词
