單元主題詞表
五、語法
1. what, why, who引導的特殊疑問句。
2. 表示品質的形容詞
六、疑難解析
1. What’s your favorite subject? 你最喜歡的科目是什么？
用句型What’s your favorite…? 問最喜歡的東西是什么。favorite在這里是形容詞“喜聞樂見的，最中意的，最喜愛的”，用來修飾名詞。在英美口語中經常用。
例如：one’s favorite book 最喜愛的書
one’s favorite movie 最喜愛的電影
還可做名詞，意為“最喜歡的人，最喜歡的物”。
例如：What would you like to drink, tea or coffee? 您是喝茶還是喝咖啡？
Tea, please! It’s my favorite. 喝茶，茶是我最喜歡的。
2. 特殊疑問句
以疑問代詞who, whom, whose, what, which等或疑問副詞when, where, why, how等開頭的疑問句是特殊疑問句。how有時與形容詞或副詞構成詞組，how many多少（后緊跟可數名詞），how much多少（后緊跟不可數名詞），how old 多大年紀，how far多遠（指距離），how long多長（指長度），多久（指時間長短），how often多長時間一次（指頻率）。
本冊書中出現的特殊疑問句有：
What:
What’s your/name/phone number/ favorite subject?
What’s this/that in English?
What kind of movies do you like?
What club do you want to join?
What can you do?
What time is it? What time do you usually get up?
What language does she speak?
她說什么語言？
Who:
Who’s this/that?
Who’s your maths teacher?
Where:
Where’s my backpack?
Where is your pen pal from? 你的筆友是哪兒人？
Where does she live?
When:
When is your birthday?
When does Alicia take a shower?
How:
How do you spell pencil?
How old are you?
How much is the blue T-shirt?
Why:
Why do you like PE?
暫時未出現，但經常在課外習題中出現：
Whose:
Whose clock is it?
Whose shoes are these?
Which:
Which man is Jim’s father?
Which pen is yours?
How many:
How many oranges can you see?
Can you answer these questions above?
你會回答上面這些問題嗎？
3. have 用法小結
前面我們學習的have/has意為“具有”，是狀態而不是一個動作。但have/has可以和某些名詞搭配，構成固定的動詞詞組，具有不同的意思。
注意學習并掌握下面短語，并注意have的意思。
have breakfast/lunch/supper 吃早飯/中飯/晚飯
have tea 喝茶 have fun 娛樂
have a drink 喝杯飲料（或酒）
have a walk 散步
have a talk 談話，發言
have a swim 游泳
have classes 上課
4. be strict with sb. 對某人要求嚴格
strict 嚴格、嚴厲的
strict rules 嚴格的規則
She is strict with her children. 她對孩子要求嚴格。
My teacher is strict in his work.
我的老師對他的工作要求嚴格。
5. 忙著干某事
busy free a busy day 忙碌的一天。
如：I’m busy with my homework.
我忙著寫作業。
Mr Smith is busy with writing a book.
史密斯先生正忙著寫一本書。
6. make sb. do sth. 迫使某人干某事
make sb. ＋adj. （形）使某人怎么樣。
△make做 構成短語
make tea 泡茶
make faces 做鬼臉
make friends 交朋友
make bed 鋪床
make a fire 生火
△make sb. do sth. 與Let sb. do sth. 用法相似。let的語氣弱一些。
如：He often makes me do homework very long hours. 他經常迫使我長時間地做作業。
Don’t let me do homework very long hours. 不要讓我長時間的做作業。
You make me too tired. 你使我太累了。
7. 如何詢問鐘點，星期，日期及date和day的區別
△date與day都有日子的意思，但有區別，用法不同。
（1）day：①指24小時的一整天，也單指白天，與night相對。如：
day and night 日夜
②表示星期與重要的日子，如：
Children’s Day 兒童節
（2）date： 指“日期”即“幾月幾日”如：
The date of his birth is July 1, 1990. 他的生日是1990年7月1日。
8. 介詞for的用法小結
介詞fro在不同的情景中有不同的用法。
（1）表示目的“為了”，如：I want to go back for my pen. 我要回去拿筆。
（2）表示對象，用途等，“為”“對于”“適于”。如：bags for sports or school 運動包或書包 socks in all colors for just￥2 售價兩元的各種顏色的襪子。
（3）引導時間段，表示一般時間。如：After school, I have gymnastics for two hours.
（4）與動詞搭配：look for 尋找，be late for 遲到。
9. start 與finish
start“開始”，反義詞finish“結束”。如：
School starts at nine o’clock. 學校九點鐘開始上課。
All my classes finish at 2:00. 我的所有課程在兩點鐘結束。
10. 評論事物的表達法
對事物的評論可有多種表達方式。如：
（1）“Why do you like English?”
“Because it’s very useful.”
“你為什么喜愛英語？”“因為英語很有用�！�
（2）“What do you think of the movie?”
“Very interesting/boring/exciting. /I find it very interesting/boring/exciting.”
“你覺得這部電影怎么樣？”“非常有趣/無聊/刺激�！�
（3）“How do you like the story?”
“It’s fun.”
“你覺得這部小說怎么樣？”“有趣�！�
（4）“What about your study of physics?”
“Not very good.”
“你的物理學習情況怎么樣？”
“恐怕不是很好�！�
11. 英語中星期的來歷及使用
一年有365天、12個月、52個星期。一個星期有7天。英語中這七天的名稱大部分來自條頓族，是條頓族從羅馬人那里借過來的。
星期日表示羅馬人尊崇太陽而把這一天定為太陽日，英語中太陽為sun，星期日便稱Sunday，這是一周的第一天。
星期一是羅馬人的月亮日，英語中月亮為moon，星期一便為Monday。
從星期二到星期五都是條頓族定名的，依次為Tuesday（戰神）、Wednesday（眾神之王）、Thursday（雷神）、Friday（愛神），星期六Saturday則是羅馬人為紀念Saturn而確立的名稱。
按照國際習慣，星期日為一個星期的第一天，星期六為一個星期的最后一天。
表達星期時應注意以下幾點：
（1）第一個字母要大寫，如：Sunday, Monday。
（2）星期前面用on，如：on Monday, on Monday morning。
（3）星期的縮寫Sun. ，Mon.，Tues.，Wedn.，Thur.或Thurs.，Fri.，Sat.。
