    3a  Read the story about Rose Tang’s problems and then complete the chart.阅读关于唐罗斯的故事并完成表格。

    参考答案：

Rose Tang then: had so much time; spent a lot of time playing games with friends; watched TV or chatted with her grandmother; went to concerts with her father.

Rose Tang now: gets up early and stays in school all day; no time for playing games; has to study; no time for concerts; does homework and goes to bed.

    知识点1  Before I started high school, I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends, but I just don’t have the time any more. 在我开始上中学之前，我经常花很多时间和我的朋友们玩游戏，但是我再也没有时间了。

    【讲解】（1）spend...on sth.  在某事上花费（金钱或时间），spend...（in）doing sth.花（金钱或时间）做某事

（2）not...any more= no more  表示“再不……”，相当于not...any longer，no longer。如：

I spend half an hour on my homework.  我每天花半个小时做家庭作业。

She spent two hours（in）mending the computer.  她花了两个小时修电脑。

I can’t wait any more.我不能再等了。

    【例1】同义句转换。

① It took me twenty minutes to water the flowers.

I ________ twenty minutes ________ the flowers.

② He will no more be afraid of flying.

He________be afraid of flying________ ________.

    拓展

①spend time doing sth.相当于It take sb. some time to do sth.②spend money on sth.相当于pay money for sth.

    【解答】①It takes sb. some time to do sth.  表示“做某事花费某人多长时间”。因此答案为spent, watering。②no more表示“再不……”，答案为won’t，any more/longer。

    知识点2  These days，I hardly ever have time for concerts.现在我几乎没有时间去参加音乐会。

    【讲解】hardly ever表示“很少”。hardly副词，表示否定意义“几乎没有，几乎不”，相当于almost not。hardly修饰动词时，通常放在助动词、情态动词之后，实义动词之前，hardly还可以置于any，anything，anyone，anybody等之前。如：

I can hardly understand them.  我简直无法明白他们所说的话。

Hardly anyone believe that today.  在今天几乎没有人相信那件事。

There’s hardly any time left.  几乎没有时间了。

She hardly ever goes out, does she?  她很少出门，是吗？

    【例2】单项选择

He hardly read this English article, ______?

A．doesn’t he

B．does he

C．didn’t he

D．did he

    【解答】此题考查了含有hardly的反意疑问句，read此处是一般过去式，hardly表示否定，因此答案为D。

    警示

    反意疑问句的陈述部分含有hardly，little，few等词时，疑问部分用肯定。

    知识点3  I really miss the old days. 我的确想念过去的日子。

    【讲解】miss动词，此处表示“想念，思念”，另外，miss还可以表示“错过，未遇见，失去（机会）”等意思。如：

    We’ll miss you very much if you move. 如果你搬家，我们会很想念你。

    We missed the bus and walked home. 我们没有赶上公共汽车，就走回家了。

    He had to see the doctor and so missed the meeting. 他必须去看医生，所以没能参加会议。

    【例3】单项选择

    This morning he______the first bus, so he came late to work.

A．caught

B．took

C．missed

D．got on

    【解答】根据题意“今天早上他未赶上头班车，因此上班迟到了”。答案为C。

    文化点击：

    在西方国家，人们非常乐意议论现在好的事情，尤其是愿意听到对自己现在的外貌、工作等事情的赞美之辞，所以当你和新结识的人或陌生人说话时，不要说一些让他们尴尬的事，如：你以前身材很苗条，现在长胖了。如果你这样说话，别人会气得直瞪眼的。

    3b Complete this letter.Use the information from the chart in activity 2b.请利用活动2b中的信息完成这封信。

    知识点4  My life has changed a lot in the last few years. 在最近的几年中，我的生活变化很大。

    【讲解】in the last/past few years“在最近（过去）的几年中”，常用作完成时的时间状语。如：

    I have made great progress in the past few months.在过去的几个月中，我取得了巨大的进步。

    We have travelled to many interesting places in China in the last two years.在最近的两年中，我们参观了中国的很多名胜古迹。

    【例4】单项选择

    There______greatchanges inour city inthepast ten years.

A．are

B．were

C．had

D．have been

    【解答】此题中有时间状语in the past ten years，因此谓语动词用现在完成时。There be句式的现在完成时为There have/has been，主语great changes是复数，因此答案是D。

    3c Use the information in this unit to write about how your life has changed since primary school. 用本单元中的信息写一写自上小学以来你的生活发生的变化。

    4a Whatdid your parents use to do when they were children? How is itd fferent from what you do? Talk to your parents and fillin the chart.你的父母小时候常做什么？与你有何不同？请跟你父母谈一谈并填写下面的表格。

    4b  GROUPWORK

Changes in Our Hometown

    Over the past ten years, great changes have taken place in our hometown. In the past, there used to be old small houses in our hometown. The river in front of the village was very dirty, it smelt terrible. The children had to go to school on foot or by bike. But now there are many new tall buildings instead of the small houses. It looks clean everywhere in our hometown. The river is clean enough for children to swim in. Most children go to school by bus, and some parents take their children to school in cars. Our hometown is getting better than it used to be.
