教學建議

課文分析

本單元的課文是一篇幽默故事。通過這個有趣的故事，對粗心大意的人和事進行了含蓄的諷刺和批評，并通過它來教育學生克服粗心大意的不良習慣，養(yǎng)成嚴謹認真、一絲不茍的作風。

Part1 (Paragraph 1 ) Dr Baker accepted the invitation to the 199. . .Medical Conference in London.

Part 2 (Paragraphs 2—10) Dr Baker was surprised to be asked to give a talk on DNA, which he knew nothing.

Part 3 (Paragraphs 11—18) Someone had made a careless mistake by writing Dr D. Baker instead of Dr Peter Baker, and Dr Baker gave a talk on ENT.

下面的短文概括了這個幽默的主要內(nèi)容，可供復述：

Dr Baker was very much surprised to receive an invitation to the 199. . . Medical Conference in London. However, he decided to attend the meeting himself. On the morning of the second day of the conference , the main speaker failed to arrive because of the bad weather at the airport. So he was asked to give a talk instead. When the organizer asked him to give a talk on DNA, Dr Baker told him that he was an expert on ENT. Later the organizer discovered the mistake. Though the organizer had put Dr P. Baker's name on the list of speakers, when the invitation list was being done, someone had made a careless mistake and had written “Dr D. Baker” instead. Anyhow Dr Baker did give a talk that day and everyone at the conference was very interested in it.

詞匯分析

accept , receive

accept表示主觀上“接受，接納”

receive表示客觀上“收到，受到，遭受，接受”，與主觀愿望沒關(guān)系

I received a gift, but I didn’t accept it.

The pop star received a warm welcome at the stadium

reply, answer

reply既可作不及物動詞，也可作及物動同，還可作名詞。作不及物動詞時，作“回答”，“答復”解，可用 reply to sth／sb.；作及物動詞時，是“回答”，“回答說”的意思，后接直接引語或賓語從句；用reply作名詞時，作“回答”“答復”解，后可跟介詞to，表示“對……的回答\答復”。

answer作及物動詞時，后面可直接跟名詞作其語，也可作名詞，作“答案”“回答”解，后面也可跟介詞to。

Have you replied to his invitation？

She didn’t answer my question．

ring back, ring off，ring up

1）ring back意為“回一個電話”。back是副詞，其賓語是代詞時，要將這個代詞放在 back之前。

2）ring off意為“掛斷電話”。

3）ring up意為“給某人打電話”。其中 up是副詞，如有賓語，則將賓語放在up之前。如：

Tell him to ring me back when he returns home.他回家后告訴他給我回個電話。

I have to ring off now because many people are waiting to make a phone call. 我必須掛電話了，因為有很多人在等著打電話。

If you have any questions to ask me, please ring me up. 如果你有問題要問我，請打電話。

meeting, conference

二者都作“會議”解，其區(qū)別在于：

1）  meeting指一般性會議，可用于任何場合。

2）conference是比較正式的用語，指就專門問題進行研究或交換意見的會議或大型的會議。

We had a meeting thismoring．上午我們開了個會。

They will have a medical conference next week．下周他們有個醫(yī)學研討會。

organize，found，form

l）organize組建，籌備，其名詞形式是organization。

2）found指“建立、成立”，強調(diào)打下基礎(chǔ)或創(chuàng)建，仍有待進一步發(fā)展和完善。

3）form指“構(gòu)成、形成”，強調(diào)所構(gòu)成的東西必須具有外形或具有一定的結(jié)構(gòu)或包含設(shè)計工作。

make oneself known（使……被了解），make oneself understood（使……被理解）等。例如：

①Please hurry up，there is someone waiting for you at the school gate．請快點，校門口有人等你。

②There must be some reason for him to be late again．想必有某種理由他才又遲到了。

語法---情態(tài)動詞表示推測用法

用法：

1）must表示我們對某事很有把握，從邏輯上看是必然的，它只能用于肯定的陳述句中。在疑問句和否定句中，通常用can和can’t。

①John said the professor must be at least seventy, but Peter thought he couldn't be as old as that．約翰說那位教授至少有70歲，但彼得認為他不可能有那樣老。

②He can't have been to your home. He doesn't know your address．他肯定沒去過你家，他還不知道你的地址呢。

2）can和may表示推測時，語氣較弱。在肯定句中，can常用來表示客觀的邏輯上的可能性；而may表示事實上的可能性。如：

①Anyone can make mistakes．人人都會犯錯誤。

②He looks pale. He may be ill．他臉色蒼白，可能病了。

在疑問句中，通常用can，不用may

－Can they have missed the bus? －Yes, they may have．

“他們會錯過公共汽車嗎？”“是的，也許會�！�

3）can和may都可用于否定句，但含義不同。

can not表示“不可能”；may not表示“可能不”。

①She may not tell lies．她也許沒有說謊。

②He can’t be her father; he is too young. 他不可能是她的父親，他太年輕了。

例題：

Michael________ be a policeman, for he’s much too short.

A. needn’t    B. can’t    C. may    D. mustn’t

分析

needn’t表示“不必”；mustn’t常用來表示禁止，不允許；may表示一種可能性；can’t 則用來表示否定意義的推測，意為“不可能”，它是一種非常有把握的推測。正確答案為B項。

Sorry I’m late. I_______ have turned off the alarm clock and gone back to sleep again.

A. might     B. should     C. can     D. will

分析

說話者在找自己遲到的原因，并對過去的原因進行推測。can不用于表示肯定的推測。should have done表示“本應該做某事，但未做”，不合句意。所以答案為A項。

練習：

1. —The light is still on. Mrs Li ______ be in the office.

—She ______ be there because I saw her go home just now.

A. must, may  B. may, mustn't   C. must, can't   D. can, may not

2. At present too many trees ______ still ______ cut down.

A. is, being   B. are, to be    C. are, being   D. is. be

3. There must be ______ for his being late.

A. some reasons   B. some excuse  C. some reason  D. some results

4. The baby is sleeping. You ______ make any noise.

A. can't B. needn't C. mustn't D. don't have to

答案：1. C  2. C  3. C  4. C
