根据课文填空

1. The Grand Hyatt Shanghai in Pudong is ________ on the top 35 floors the 88-storey Jin Mao Tower.
2. The Great Wall of China is _________ 7, 240 kilometers long. In some places, the wall is 9.75 meters _______.
3. The first person to walk the _______ length of the Great Wall was Liu Yutian.
4. China hopes to finish the Three Gorges ______ by 2009.
5. The dam will _______ about 205 billion yuan.

指点迷津

1. The fist person to walk the whole length of the Great Wall was Liu Yutian.第一个走完长城全程的人是刘玉田。

（1）    length 是名词，意国是“长度”，可以视为是long 的名词形式。如：

How long is the Great Wall of China? = What’s the length of the Great Wall?

长城多长？

（2）   all 和whole 的意思都是“全部的; 所有的”如何辨别？

a)      all 和whole 都可用在表示整体的单数名词前， 但是位置不同。 Whole 一般用在冠词、物主代词或其它限定词之后，其结构为：“限定词＋whole+单数可数名词”而all用在这些限定词之前：“all＋限定词＋名词”如：all the time/ the whole time 全部时间

                 all my life/ my whole life 我的一生

                 all the winter/ the whole winter 整个冬天

b）whole 不般不能修饰不可数名词或者物质名词， 修饰复数名词时一般其前需要加数量词。而all可用于各种情况。如：

  I waited there for ten whole days. 我在那里等了整整十天。

  I have to leave all the books at home. 我只好把所有的书都留在家里。

  2. China hopes to finish the dam by 2009. 中国希望到2009年完成大坝的建设。

       by 介词，意思是“不迟于某时；在……之前”在by短语所修饰的句子中，谓语动词常常是用将来时或完成时。如：

       Can you finish your homework by five? 到五点你能完成作业吗？

      You must come back by 10:00. 你十点前必须回来。

      By the time he arrives, I will have left the city. 等他到到的时候，我将已经离开这座城市了。

      By the end of last year, I had learned 2000 English words.

3. The Three Gorges Dam will be about 2.3 kilometers long and almost 185 meters tall. 三峡大坝将有2.3千米长， 差不多有185米高。

  （1）tall 只用来修饰指人、建筑物，树以及少数其它的东西（如铁架子、工厂的烟囱之类）的高度，这类东西的垂直方向大于其它方向部分， 并且其顶部不与其它东西相接。

    He is a tall man.

    There is a tall tree in our yard. 我们院子里有棵高高的树。

    tall 和high 都可以用来修饰building.

  （2）“基数词＋量词＋表示长／宽／高等的形容词”，表示“某物多长／宽／高等。”

       The wall is 10 meters thick. 墙厚十米。

       The river is 20 metres deep. 河水深二十米。

       The street is 30 meters wide. 街宽30米。

（3）   almost 是副词， 意思是“几乎， 差不多”， 用来修饰动词、形容词、副词、名词时， 和nearly 常互换， 但在和no, none, nothing, never, nobody 等连用时只用almost, 不有用nearly. 如：

It’s almost/nearly midnight. 快午夜了。

There was almost no snow that winter. 那年冬天几乎没有下雪。

4.      Giant _________ can live to be two hundred years old. They live the longest of all animals, ________ _________.

5.      Danny is trying to be the champion of __________ on one foot!

6.      Supper is ______ important than a record.

 

指点迷津

1. Here comes Brian. 布莱恩过来了。

此句是个倒装句。Here/there 以及表示地点的介词短语放在句首，句子常用倒装句。如：

Be careful! Here comes the bus! 当心车来了！

Listen! There goes the bell! 听，铃响了！

Under the big tree are two blue cars. 树下面有两辆蓝色汽车。

2.        I have been standing on one foot for more than three minutes. 我已经单足站立三分多钟了。

Have been doing sth. 是现在完成进行时， 常常表示动作的延续性、重复性以及感情色彩等。

如：

Mr. Smith has been living in London since 1995.　史密斯先生自从1995年以来一直住在伦敦。（延续性）

Have you been meeting her these days? 你最近常见到她吗？（重复）

3.        In seven hours and 57 minutes, you’ll be the champion. 七小时57分这后，你就会成为冠军了。

In 介词，表示“在（一段时间这后）”，常用于将来时。　用在过去时，表示“在（一段时间）内”如：

Supper will be ready in a few minutes. 几分钟之后，晚饭就会好了。

She learned to swim in two weeks. 　她两周学会了游泳。

[拓展]

若想表达在过去“多长时间以后”，我们常用after +一段时间。

如：After ten years, he returned to his hometown. 十年后他回到了家乡。

比较：In ten years,  we will be quite different from what we are now. 十年后我们会和现在大不相同了。

4.        The average blue is about four times as big as the biggest elephant. 蓝鲸的平均体积大约是最大大象的四倍大。

Four times as big as ….是倍数的表达方式，　句型为：A is ….times as + adj+ as B  或　表达成：A is … the size/width/depth/length of B

如：

This river is twice as long as that one= this river is twice the length of that one. 这条河是那条河的两倍长。

 

词组 on (an) average 意为“平均”

5.        On average, it weighs more than 26 tons.  它平均重26吨以上。

动词 weigh 如何使用？

Weigh 既可用作不及物动词，又可用作及物动词。 用作不及物动词意为“重……，重量是……”如本句。又如：Tom weighs about 55kilos. Tom 体重约55千克。 用作及物动词，指“称……的重量”如：Do you often weigh yourself? 你常称自已体重吗？

Weigh 的名词形式是weight. 如：

What’s the weight of the elephant?(=How much does the elephant weigh?)

这头大象多重？
