                                     Great inventions
      Great inventions change the world. They help people live a better life. The following are three of the most important inventions in history.
The wheel
     The wheel is perhaps the greatest invention in history. After its invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages. In the early 19th century, the first trains began to carry passengers.     At the start of the 20th century, cars became popular. Without the wheel, we would not have these inventions.

The telephone
      Alexander Graham Bell invented one of the first practical telephones in 1876. Since then, people have been able to speak to each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.

The light bulb
     Thomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evening as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them?

四、基础语法

 

13.Unit 4 Inventions Grammar

        

Date:_______  name:_______

 

【知识要点】

一、形容词比较级和最高级不规则变化形式：

原级	比较级	最高级
good / well	better	the best
bad / ill	worse	the worst
far	farther / further	the farthest / the furthest
many / much	more	the most
little	less	the least
old	older / elder	the oldest / the eldest

二、(not) as...as的用法

as……as意为“和……一样”，not as……as意为“不及……”，表示同级的比较。

1. 基本结构：as + adj. + as，否定形式为：not as/so+ adj. + as，中间用形容词的原级。

eg: The book is as interesting as that one.  （注意：第一个as不能用so替换）

2. 当as...as中间加名词时，结构为：as+ many/much + n. + as，否定形式为：

not as+ many/much + n. + as。需要注意的是：当名词为可数名词时，中间为“many+可数名词复数”，当名词为不可数名词时，中间为“much +不可数名词”。

eg: Tom has as many pictures as John.

3. as...as前面常常用almost，quite，nearly，exactly等程度副词表示比较的程度。：

eg: This cup is nearly as big as that one.

难点：在同一范围内比较时，必须把主语排除在被比较的范围之外。

eg 1：China is larger than any other country in Asia. （解析：中国是属于亚洲的，所以是在同一范围内，只能和其它对象进行比较）

eg 2：China is larger than any country in Africa. （解析：中国不属于非洲，所以是不同范围，可以和其中任意一个对象进行比较）

【举一反三】

eg: Shanghai is bigger than any other city in China.

上海比中国其他任何一个城市都大。

   Shanghai is bigger than the other cities in China.

上海比中国其他所有的城市都大。
