Module 1My First Day at Senior High1. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing（1）far from a) 远离 b) 毫不；远非；一点也不（2）away from & far (away) from , 两个短语都可以用来作表语，状语和后置定语。其中，其中away from用在表示具体距离的词后面时，意为“离（多远）， be away from意为“离开”。 far (away) from 通常不和具体的距离的词连用，意为“离某地很远”。2The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms. Shen. 这个非常热情的女老师是沈老师。called Ms. Shen 是过去分词短语作定语，与所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系，相当于定语从句who/that was called Ms. Shen。 如： We visited the new library built three weeks ago.Most of the artists invited to the party were from South Africa.注：短语一般放在被修饰词之后，单个过去分词放在被修饰词之前3. and Ms Shens method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school.Nothing like意为 “没有什么能比得上”， “丝毫不象”。 something like 意为“大约”， “几分像”。It looks nothing like a horse.It must be something like seven Oclock.4. Today we introduced ourselves to each other.Introduce sb to sb 把某人介绍给某人Introduce sth in/ into 把某物引进Introduce sb to sth 引导或带领某人接触某物Introduce sth to sb 宣布并介绍Introduction n 介绍；引进；引论An introduction to 对的介绍；的引论5And we have fun. I dont think I will be bored in Ms. Shens class!我们上课上得很开心，我认为我不会对沈老师的课厌烦的。（1）have (great) fun 玩得开心=have (a lot of) fun= have a wonderful time=enjoy oneself 如：The children were having a lot of fun with the building blocks. Youre sure to have some fun tonight.fun是不可数名词，常用于be fun 结构中，相当于interesting。如Seeing monkeys in the zoo is great fun. What fun it is to play a game after work!注: 此处的what fun不能用how funny代替，因为funny是“滑稽的，好笑的”的意思。拓展for fun=in fun 开玩笑地make fun of 嘲笑，取笑。如 Im not saying such a serious thing for fun.Its bad manners to make fun of the blind.（2） 我们要注意本句英汉表达的区别。英语中有些动词，如think, believe, expect, suppose, feel, guess, imagine 等，当它们后面接一个具有否定意义的宾语从句时，通常要把主句的动词变为否定式，而宾语从句中的谓语动词用肯定形式。这种现象称为否定的转移。如：We dont think there is anything interesting in your pictures.I dont believe what he said is true.I dont suppose they will object to my suggestion.He didnt imagine that she would go abroad.注：在反意疑问句中，若陈述部分是第一人称，think等词用一般现在进，则疑部部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致，否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。如：I dont think its going to rain tomorrow, is it?You dont think I have made mistakes, do you?6. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.换句话说，女孩是男孩的三倍。（1）in other words 意为“换句话”，在句中用作插入成分。如：In other words, she must give up singing.Im not used to the way you speak to me. In other words, I dont want to continue our conversations.A + be+倍数 +as+ adj. +as+BAsia is four times as large as Europe.A+be+倍数+ 比较级+than+BAsia is three times larger than Europe.A+be+倍数+the size/length/height/depth/width+ of+ BAsia is four times the size of Europe.注: time 表示倍数，一般只限于表示基数词在内的三倍或三倍以上，若表示两倍可用副词twice 或形容词double。 time 表示的倍数也可以用分数，百分数或某些表程度的副词替换。The street is twice the length of that one. Ten is double five.This pencil is a quarter as long as that one. Our room is 60 the size of theirs.7. Im looking forward to doing it！我非常渴望去做。look forward to sth./doing sth. 意思是“期待着某事/做某事”，其中“to”是介词。I look forward to hearing from you as early as possible.Boys and girls are looking forward to Childrens Day.动词介词to构成的常用短语有：look forward to 盼望turn to 求助于；转向；翻到pay attention to 注意stick to 坚持get down to 开始认真干object to 反对belong to 属于refer to 谈到，涉及，参阅point to 指向see to 处理，料理come to 共计；苏醒reply to 答复agree to 同意add to 增加devoteto 贡献给compareto把比作8. Oh really? So have I. “so +助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”表示“（另一事物）也” He is interested in physics and so am I If you can finish it in time, so can I . 表示否定意义时用“neither/nor +助动词/情态动词/系动词+主语”，意为“（另一事物）也不” Bob wasnt at school last Friday, and neither/nor was Jack. “so +主语+助动词/情态动词/系动词”表示对之前或对方所说的情况表示赞同或证实，意为“同一个人或事物）确实” -You have dropped a word here. -Yes, so I have.9. The school year is divided into two semesters, the first of which is September through December, and the second is January through May.一学年有两个学期，第一学期从九月到十二月，第二学期从一月到五月。（1）be divided into “把分成”。如:Our class is divided into four groups. America is divided into over ？stales. （2）the first of which是定语从句，修饰 semesters. 如：We live in a house, in front of which is a small river.10. At the end of twelfth grade, American students receive the high school diploma. at the end of 在结束的时候；在的尽头； 在的结尾处 in the end (at last; finally)最终，终于 by the end of 到结束时 at the beginning of (at the start of ) 在开始的时候 at the beginning (in the beginning ; at first) 起初，开始时
