This tree is twice the height of that one. 這棵樹是那棵樹的兩倍。
二、詞義辨析
1．one 、the one 、that 、it的區別：
（1）one用來代替前面提到的名詞，既可以指人由可以指物。用于泛指，相當于a/an+名詞，復數形式為ones。
例如：
I am looking for a house and I like one with a garden.
我正在找房子，我喜歡一幢帶有花園的房子。
I can’t find my hat. I think I must buy one.
我的帽子找不到了。我想我必須再買一頂了。
There is a young man and some old ones in the house.
這座房子里有一個年輕人和幾個老人。
（2）the one：用來代替同類事物中特指的另一個。例如：
I like the recorder better than the one I bought last year.
與去年我買的那個錄音機相比，我更喜歡這一個。（這時，the one 和that可以互換）
（3）that表示與前面所指的名詞為同類，但不是同一個；而it所指的名詞為同一個。That既可以代替可數名詞，也可以代替不可數名詞。例如：
The population of China is larger than that of any other country in the world.
中國的人口比世界上任何國家的都要多。
I have a very good TV set. It is very large and beautiful.
2．take place, happen 與break out的區別：
這三個詞都是“發生”的意思，而且都沒有被動語態。
（1）happen表示“（偶然）發生”，或者“碰巧做某事”，強調事情的偶然性。
例如：
That accident happened at the corner.
那場事故發生在拐角處。
I happened to meet him in the street.？
=It happened that I met him in the street.
我偶然在街上遇到他。
（2）take place指“發生”，可以是有計劃地安排，也可以是無計劃或者安排。例如：
When will the ceremony take place? 儀式什么時候舉行？
A strong earthquake took place. 一場地震發生了
（3）break out指“（火災、戰爭等）突然發生、爆發”。例如：
The war broke out between the north and the south. 南北戰爭爆發了。
Fire broke out in the neighborhood last night.
昨晚附近發生了火災。
三、重點句型
1．Where would you prefer going?
I would prefer to do something.
I prefer to do something rather than do something.
這是動詞prefer的幾個常用結構，在使用時要把每一個搭配分清楚。
2．Is anybody seeing you off?
這是一個現在進行時態表示將來的句型。值得注意的是并非所有動詞都可以用此結構，常用此結構的動詞有：come, go , leave, start, return, see, stay等等。
3．Before she could move, she heard a loud noise, which grew to a terrible roar.
此句中的before意思是“還沒有來得及…就…”，要注意before的中文翻譯。
再如：
Before I could get up from my bed, the general gave me a telephone call and told me to start at once.
4．It didn’t take long before the wooden building was swallowed by the fire.
此句中的before意思是“不久以后就…”；如果用肯定句，before的意思就會有大的變化。
例如：
It will take long before we can get the key.
我們還要過很久才能拿到鑰匙。（before的意思是“要多長時間以后才…”）
四、語法復習
（一）現在進行時的用法小結：
1．現在進行時的基本用法：
（1）表示說話人說話時 正在發生的事情。
We are waiting for you.
我們正在等你。
（2）表示習慣性的進行，即表示長期的或重復性的動作，說話時動作未必正在進行。
Mr. White is writing his new book.
懷特先生正在寫他的新書。(說話時并未在寫，只處于寫作的狀態。)
（3）表示動作的漸變。常可以用此用法的動詞有：get, grow, become, turn, run, go, begin等。
The leaves are turning green. 樹葉正在變成綠色。
（4）現在進行時 與always, constantly, forever 等詞連用，表示反復發生的動作或持續存在的狀態，往往帶有說話人的主觀色彩。
You are always changing your mind.
你總是變來變去的（拿不定主意）。
He is always bothering me. 他老是打擾我。
（5）某些動詞的現在進行時形式可以用來表示將來，意思是："意圖"、"打算"、"安排"、常用來指人。常用詞為 come, go, start, arrive, leave, stay等。
They are starting to learn English tomorrow.
他們明天將開始學習英語。
（一）定語從句復習 第一部分：
1．定語從句（Attributive Clauses）在句中起定語的作用，修飾一個名詞或代詞，有時還可以修飾整個主句。被修飾的詞叫做先行詞。定語從句通常出現在先行詞之后，由關系詞（關系代詞或關系副詞）引出。
關系代詞所代替的先行詞是代表人或物的名詞或代詞，并在句中充當主語、賓語、定語等成分。關系代詞在定語從句中作主語時，定語從句謂語動詞的人稱和數要和先行詞保持一致。
（1）who, whom, that代替的先行詞是指人的名詞或代詞：
Is he the man who/that wants to see you?
他就是你想見的人嗎？（who/that在從句中作主語）
He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.
他就是我昨天見的那個人。（whom/that在從句中作賓語）
（2） whose 既可以指人又可以指物，只用作定語；若指物，它還可以同of which互換。
例如：
They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.
那個人的汽車壞了，他們都跑過去幫忙。
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is red.
請遞給我那本紅皮的書。
（3）which, that 所代替的先行詞是事物的名詞或代詞，在從句中可作主語、賓語等，
例如：
A prosperity which / that had never been seen before appears in the countryside. 農村出現了前所未有的繁榮。（which / that在句中作主語）
The package (which / that) you are carrying is very heavy. 你拿的包很重。(which / that在句中作賓語)
2．關系代詞不能用that的情況 ：
（1） 在引導非限定性定語從句時。指人只能用who/whom/whose，指物只能用which/whose。例如：
The tree, which is four hundred years old, is very famous here.
這棵樹在這里很出名，它已經有400年樹齡了。
The story, which my brother told yesterday, is very interesting.
我弟弟昨天講的那個故事很有趣。
（2） 介詞后不能用that，指人只能用whom/whose，指物只能用which/whose。例如：
We depend on the land from which we get our food.
我們依靠土地來收獲糧食。
We depend on the land that/which we get our food from. （當介詞在句末時，that和which可以互換）
3．只能用that作為定語從句的關系代詞的情況
（1）在there be 句型中，只用that，不用which。
Long long ago, there was a small village that was located at the foot of a mountain.
很久以前，有一個小小的村子坐落在山腳下。
（2）不定代詞，如：anything, nothing, the one, all, much, few, any, little等作先行詞的時候，只用that，不用which。
All that is needed is a supply of oil.
所需的只是供油問題。
Finally, the thief handed everything that he had stolen to the police.
那賊最終把偷的全部東西交給了警察。
（3）先行詞有the only, the very修飾時，只用that。
The book is the only one that I can find in my house.
這本書是我在家里能夠找到的唯一的書。
（4）先行詞中含有序數詞、數詞、形容詞最高級時，只用that。.
This is the best food that we can give you.
這是我們能給你們提供的最好的食物了。
This is the second time that I have told you to go away.
這已經是我第二次讓你們走開了。
（5）先行詞既有指人的詞，又有指物的詞時。
We talked about the things and persons that we remembered at that time.
我們談論了那時我們能夠記起的人和事。

閱讀理解：
A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is “public interest law”.
Many other lawyers serve only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they get. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot pay these lawyers’ fees?
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, gets less money than some lawyers. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have heated them with bad goods. Others are in unsafe houses. Their cases are called “civil” cases. Still others are criminals(刑事犯罪), and they go to those public interest lawyers who are in charge of “criminal” cases.
These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are publie interest lawyers serve to extend justice(伸張正義) throughout our society.
