36、ny special things about the Spring Festival.We have temple fairs and all kinds of performances.I hope I can go to Chinatown again to see the Spring Festival.教材解读1.Li Ming,Jenny and Brian are chatting online. chat在此处为不及物动词,意为“聊天,闲谈”,还可以作可数名词,意为“聊天,闲谈”。chat with sb.意为“和某人聊天”;have a chat 意为“聊天,闲谈”。2.I
37、have no idea. have no idea意为“毫无所知,不理解;料想不到”。I have no idea.意为“我不知道”,相当于 I dont know.,后面可跟从句。3.Did you go shopping? go shopping意为“去购物”。“go+ v.-ing”是一种习惯表达,常用来表示从事某种活动,意为“去”。4.We bought a big Christmas tree,some decorations and gifts. decoration为可数名词,意为“装饰,装饰品,装潢”,由动词 decorate转变而来。【拓展】 decorate 为及物动词,
38、意为“装饰,装潢”,后加名词或代词作宾语。5.I had a bowl of noodles,and I used chopsticks and a spoon instead of a fork and a knife. bowl 为可数名词,意为“碗”。【拓展】 常用的餐具还有:chopstick筷子;spoon 勺子;fork 叉子;knife 刀;plate 盘子;dish 盘子;cup 杯子;glass 玻璃杯chopstick 意为“筷子”,常用作复数,为合成词,由“chop(劈)+stick(枝条)”构成。fork 为名词,在本课意为“叉子,餐叉”。6.My parents lo
39、ve to have lunch and shop there,although parking is a problem. although意为“尽管,虽然”,引导让步状语从句,其同义词为 though,although和 though的用法相同,though 比 although更通俗些,都不能和 but同时出现在一个句子里。7.Do they speak Chinese there?speak在这里为及物动词,意为“讲(某种语言)”。【辨析】 say,speak,talk,tell(1)say为及物动词,意为“说”,强调说的内容,宾语可以是名词、代词或宾语从句。(2)speak为不及物动
40、词,意为“讲话,发言”,常见短语为 speak to sb.“与某人说话”;作及物动词时,意为“讲语言”,后面多跟语言类名词;另外 speak还可以用于较正式的场合,表示“演说,演讲”。(3)talk为不及物动词,意为“谈话,交谈”。强调两者之间相互说话,常见短语是 talk to/with sb.,意为“与某人交谈”;talk about sth.意为“谈论某事”。(4)tell为及物动词,意为“告诉,讲述”;强调讲给别人听,其常见结构是 tell sb.sth.=tell sth.to sb.意为“告诉某人某事”。8.Do you believe its Santa Claus who b
41、rings you gifts,Brian?its Santa Claus who brings you gifts是 believe的宾语,这个宾语从句是以 it构成的强调句。这种强调句式中,it 无具体意义,基本结构是“It is/was+被强调的成分(主语、宾语、状语)+that/who+其他成分.”。9.Of course not.not可用在一些副词或词组(why,perhaps,probably,sometimes,certainly,of course 等)之后代替前面的整个词组或从句。一些动词或词组,如 believe,guess,expect,hope,imagine,be
42、afraid后也可以这样用。一些连接词,如 as if,or等后也可以这样用。10.But we do have lots of fun.句中的助动词 do起强调作用,后加动词原形;如果主语是第三人称单数,则用“does+动词原形”形式。【拓展】 如果强调过去时的动作则用“did+动词原形”形式。11.There are so many special things about the Spring Festival.so many意为“很多,如此多”,修饰可数名词复数。so much 意为“很多,如此多”,修饰不可数名词。12.We have temple fairs and all kin
43、ds of performances.temple fairs意为“庙会”。 13.I hope I can go to Chinatown again to see the Spring Festival.hope作动词时,后面可接动词不定式或 that从句作宾语。但不可以说 hope sb.to do sth.。hope 还可和介词 for搭配,hope for sth.表示“希望某事发生”。hope 作名词时,意为“希望”,既可作可数名词,又可作不可数名词。设计意图 学生应是学习的主体,教师要努力调动学生学习的积极性和主动性,通过组内合作讨论、探究,找出文章中的重点短语和句子,把所学的知
