13、”， and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.维克多雨果曾经说过“笑容如阳光，驱走人们脸上的冬天。 ”关于这一点，直到今天也没有人能比查理卓别林做得更好。剖析：1)本句的 as 在句中引导定语从句，位于句首。代替其后的双引号内的内容。如：As your mother said， “You are too naughty.”正如你妈妈说的“你太顽皮”。2)as 引导的非限制性定语从句中， as 可代表主句整个句子，引导的定语从句可以放在主句之前或主句之后。My girlfriend is

17、4)_(直到现在)I havent heard from him.2He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed，so they could feel more content with their lives.在人们感到沮丧的时候，卓别林使他们开怀大笑，于是人们对自己的生活感到比较满足。剖析：1)本句是由 so 连接的并列复合句，前后存在因果关系。2)在前一个分句中，包含了一个定语从句 when they felt depressed，用来修饰 a time。when 引导定语从句时，所修饰的先行词应是表示时间的词。如：I w
18、ill never forget the days when we worked together.我永远不会忘记我们一起工作的日子。当先行词为表示时间的词时，定语从句的引导词有时不用 when，而用 that 或 which。其区别在于：when 引导定语从句时，when 在从句中作状语；而 that 或 which 引导定语从句时，that或 which 在从句中作主语或宾语。因此当先行词为表示时间的词时，还要根据从句是缺少状语还是缺少主语或宾语来断定应用哪个引导词。考点：content adj.满足的；满意的 n满足 vt . 使满足Im more than content that t

23、as soon as he could walk。注意：在英语中，只有 it 可以作形式主语或形式宾语，不能换成 this 或 that。如：Many foreigners find it surprising that China has made rapid progress in economy in the past few years.许多外国人很惊讶地发现在最近几年来，中国在经济方面取得了快速进步。2)本句中的 that 从句中，包含了 as soon as 引导的两个时间状语从句。 注意：现在时态的句子中，as soon as，until，when，before 等引导的时间状语

25、常用于被动语态，不可用于进行时。2)be astonished Error!We were all astonished by the news/to hear that he had passed his driving test.听到他通过了驾驶考试这个消息，我们都感到十分惊奇。3)astonish 的名词形式是 astonishment。常用于短语 in astonishment“惊讶地”；to ones astonishment“使某人吃惊的是”。He looked at me in astonishment.他惊奇地看着我。To my astonishment，he has pass
26、ed the exam.使我吃惊的是，他竟然通过了考试。4)辨析 astonished 与 astonishing：astonished 意为“惊诧的”，多用来修饰人；astonishing 意为“令人惊诧的”，多用来修饰事情。We are astonished to hear the astonishing news.听到这令人惊诧的消息我们很惊讶。单项填空1) Why dont you bring _ to his attention that youre too ill to work on?Athat Bit Cthis Dhim2)The two girls are so alike

35、he world that they cannot overcome.世界上没有他们克服不了的困难。We overcame the enemy in the battle.我们在这场战役中战胜了敌人。归纳：overcome 的过去式为 _，过去分词为_。over作前缀时可表示如下含义：过度；太甚。如：overstudy 用功过度overtalk 讲话太多在上；在外；从上；越过。如：overbridge 天桥overcoat 外套overfly 飞越overseas 海外颠倒；反转。如：overthrow 推翻overturn 颠倒；倾覆试着说出下列单词的含义1)overdo _2)overar
