Food Around The World (世界上的食物)
一、教法建議
【拋磚引玉】
本單元同學們要學習如何用英語表達各種各樣的食物名稱以及有關“就餐”的日常用語。通過課文閱讀“Food Around the World”，了解玉米這種植物是如何傳到中國的。中國的許多果子又是如何被引進到世界的其它國度的。下面是一篇有關玉米 （corn）的趣味短文，請你閱讀后看看玉米都有那些妙用。
Corn is the American name for maize . America is the biggest producer of corn in the world .
“Sweet corn”is the sweetest corn . Many people like to eat sweet corn on on the cob . Popcorn is a highly popular snack food in America . It is sold at the entrance of every cinema .
There are two expressions that include the word “corn”. A selfish person has little sense of shame about his selfishness as he thinks other people are selfish , too . We call this “measuring another\'s corn by one\'s own bushel ”.
An honest person admits the corn frankly if he loses in a game or debate . We think this is a gentlemanly way of talking one\'s own defeat . (corn 是美語對玉米的叫法。美國是世界上最大的生產國。“甜玉米”是最甜的玉米。許多人喜歡吃甜玉米棒子。爆玉米花在美國是很受歡迎的零食。每家電影院的入口處都能買到它。有兩個包含 corn 字的習語。自私的人對自己的自私心缺乏羞愧感，因為他認為別人也是自私的。我們就把這個叫做“以自己的標準衡量他人，即以己度人。一個誠實的人，如果比賽或者辯論失敗，就坦誠地認輸。我們認為，這樣接受失敗是有風度的。”)
另外，我們在本單元向大家提供一篇難得的快速提高高考聽力技巧的文章和一篇新教材中的習語分類欣賞（上）的文章，相信它們一定會讓你大飽眼福。

D. 單元語法學習目標
本單元要求復習 unit 1 —— 7 中出現過的主要語法，如：定語從句、被動語態和動詞的各種時態。
●“介詞 + 關系代詞”中介詞的選用
在學習定語從句時，“介詞 + 關系代詞”引導的定語從句是一個難點，難在何處？感到茫然的同學主要是不知道該選用什么介詞。而介詞的選用是有一定規律的，只要掌握了這些規律性的東西，解題就可迎刃而解，舉一反三了。
⒈ 看介詞與定語從句中有關動詞是否有搭配關系。如：
She paid the man from whom she had borrowed some money . ( = She paid the man . She had borrowed some money from him . )（注意：borrow sth . from sb . 這一搭配關系）
In the dark street , there wasn\'t a single person to whom she could turn for help (NMET 92)（注意：turn to sb . for help 這一搭配關系）
⒉ 看介詞與定語從句的先行詞是否有搭配關系。如：
The dog died because there was no way in which it could be brought back to the earth .
此句相當于：The dog died . There was no way it could be brought back to earth . （注意：in the way , in this / that way 這一搭配關系）又如：
He will never forget the day on which he joined the Party .（介詞 on 與先行詞 day 的搭配關系）
⒊ 看介詞與定語從句中的形容詞是否有搭配關系。如：
China is a large country with a long history of which we are greatly proud .（注意：be / feel proud of 這一習慣搭配）
The two things of which they felt very proud were Jim\'s gold watch and Della\'s hair .（1998年上海高考試題）
⒋ 若表示“所有關系”或“整體中的一部分”，則用介詞 of 。如：
I live in this room , the window of which faces south . ( = I live in this room , whose window faces south . )（表示“所有關系”）
There are over 3,000 workers in that factory , eighty-five percent of whom are women . ( =There are … , and eighty-five percent of them are women . 表示“整體中的一部分”）
China has hundreds of islands , the largest of which is Taiwan . （表示“整體中的一部分”）
● 定語從句的關聯詞活用例析
定語從句是中學英語課本中比較復雜的一個語法項目，有些學生對怎樣選擇關聯詞不甚清楚，有時會出現錯誤。現略舉幾例加以分析說明。先比較下面例句。
1 . I\'ll never forget the summer holidays (which / that) I spent on the seashore .
我決不會忘記在海濱度過的那個暑假。
2 . I\'ll never forget the summer holidays when I worked by the seaside .
我決不會忘記在海邊工作的那個暑假。
3 . He is going to work on the island which / that needs him most .
他打算到最需要他的那座島上去工作。
4 . He is going to work on the island where he is most needed .
他打算到那座島上去工作，那里最需要他。
分析：在例1句子中，關聯詞 which / that 在從句中作及動動詞 spent 的賓語，可省略；在例2句中，關聯詞 when 在從句中作時間狀語；在例3中，關聯詞 which\'that 在從句中作主語，不能省略；在例4句子中，關聯詞 where 在從句中作地點狀語。
結論：定語從句的重點是如何選擇關聯詞(關系代詞或關系副詞)。若關聯詞在從句中作狀語，就應使用關系副詞；否則就應使用關系代記號。關系副詞 when , where , why 的使用，并不決定于其先行詞是表時間、地點或原因的詞，而是取決于關聯詞在從句中充當哪種語法成分。只有當關聯詞在從句中作時間、地點或原因狀語時，才能分別使用關系副詞 when , where , why 或者用 in / at / on which 代替 when , 用 in / at which 代替 where , 用 for which 代替 why；若關聯詞在從句中作主語、賓語，則應用關系代詞 which 或 that。
練習：從A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳答案。
1 . I still remember the day ____ I first came to the college .
A . on which B . in which C . at which D . which
2 . They wll never forget the day ____ they got married .
A . that B . which C . in which D . when
3 . He makes good use of the time ____ he can spare .
A . when B . that C . in that D . in which
4 . The factory ____ his mother works is in the east of the city .
A . that B . which C . on which D . where
5 . The place ____ interested me most was the Children\'s Palace .
A . which B . where C . what D . in which
6 . That is the reason ____he wasn\'t here yesterday .
A . why B . which C . on which D . in which
7 . That is the reason ____ he can\'t say .
A . why B . that C . what D . in which
答案與解析：
1 . A on which 可用 when 代替，在定語從句中起時間狀語的作用。 2 . D 關系副詞 when 在從句中作時間狀語，可用 on which 代替。 3 . B 關系代詞 that 在定語從中作及物動詞 spare 的賓語，可用 which，也可省略。 4 . D 關系副詞 where 在從句中作地點狀語，可用 in which 代替。 5 . A 關系代詞 which 在從中作主語，可用 that 代替。 6 . A 關系副詞 why 在從中作原因狀語，可用 for which 代替。 7 . B 關系代詞 that 在從句中作及物動詞 say 的賓語，可用 which 代替，也可省略。
● 談談被動語態的三種特殊情況
主動語態變被動語態的“三步曲”是：一、將主動語態的賓語變為被動語態的主語；二、謂語動詞改為被動形式；三、如需強調動作的執行者；用介詞 by 引出。那么，下面的三個問題也值得我們重視。
一、不可變為被動語態的主動語態
1 . 賓語為抽象名詞或處所名詞。如：
She always worries about her health . 她總是擔心她的健康。
His friends left Beijing by train yesterday . 昨天他的朋友們坐火車離開了北京。
2 . 賓語為反身代詞或相互代詞。如：
They are teaching themselves English . 他們正在自學英語。
We should learn from each other . 我們應該互相學習。
3 . 賓語為行為者身上的某部位或某器官。如：
At last he put his hands up .
4 . 賓語為表示某組織機構的詞組。如：
His father joined the Party two years ago . 他父親兩年前入了黨。
5 . 謂語部分為一個不可分割的動詞短語。如：
Then he made faces and jumped like a monkey . 接著他做鬼臉并象猴子一樣地跳。
二、常用主動語態表示被動意義的動詞
英語中有一些動詞，常和表示行為方式的狀語連用，可以用主動語態表示在邏輯上似乎應該用被動語態表示的概念。如：
This pen writes well . 這筆很好寫。
pen (筆) 怎么能自己 write (寫)呢 ? 這有點不合邏輯。從語法和邏輯角度看，This pen is written well . 似乎更正確。可英美人很少這樣說。他們一般都說 This pen writes well . 他們認為這樣更簡略、更自然、更合乎習慣。
1 . 這類動詞常見的有 open , look , read , write , smell , taste , sound , cook , wash , fill 等。如：The door opens to the south . 這道門是朝南開的。
This kind of cloth washes very well . 這種布很耐洗。
This book sells well . 這書很好銷。
2 . 這類動詞短語常見的有：take place(=happen) , break out , belong to 等。如：
Great changes have taken place in our country . 我國已發生了巨大的變化。
A fire broke out last night . 昨晚發生了一場火災。
The books on the desk belong to our teacher . 桌上的書是屬于我們老師的。
三、by 短語在被動語態中的省略問題
在被動句中有時用 by 詞組，有時不用，這是由多種因素決定的。一般說來，當動作執行者不太清楚，不重要或難以說出時，通常不用 by 詞組。但有時為了強調動作執行者或由于上下文和結構上所需則使用 by 詞組。
1 . 下列情況下，by 短語不能省略。
①主動語態的主語是句子中的強調成分。如：
Even a child can answer this question . →This question can be answered even by a child .
②省去 by 短語，句子意思不完整或者含糊不清。如：
Miss Gao teaches us English . →We are taught English by Miss Gao .
③主動語態以疑問代詞作主語的句子。如：
Who discovered America ? →Who(Whom) was America discover ?
④用英文表達漢語的“被，由，為……所……”等意思。如：
Telephone was invented by Bell .
The boy was beaten by his father .
2 . 下列情況下，by 短語可以省略
①主動語態是“主+謂+賓+狀”結構。如：
They completed the building in 1996 . →
The building was completed in 1996 .
②主動語態含有雙賓語。如：
He gave me some advice . →
I was given some advice .
Some advice was given (to) me .
③主動語態中含有復合賓語。如：I saw him go downstairs . → He was seen to go downstairs .
④主動語態中含有賓語從句。如：I believe that he will keep his word . → He is believed to keep his word . (=It is believed that he will keep his word . )
●被動含義 主動意義
英語中，我們多用 be +v . -ed 結構來表示被動含義；但有時也可用動詞的主動形式來表示被動意義。有主動形式表被動意義是一種特殊的語態現象，常見的有：
一、在動詞 need , want , require , bear , deserve 等后常用動名詞的主動形式表被意義。例如：
① The civil quality of the whole nation needs improving . 全民族的文化素質需要提高。
② Every truth requires testing through practice . 一切真理都需要經受實踐的檢驗。
③ The river dam wants reinforcing . 這道河堤需要加固。
④ His words won\'t bear repeating . 他的話不堪重述。
一般地，這些動名詞都可用不定式的被動結構來代替。如上述第三例可改為：The river dam wants to be reinforced .
二、在 be worth doing 結構中，用動名詞的主動形式表被動意義。例如：
If a thing is worth doing , it should be done well . 值得做的事就一定要做好。
三、有些及物動詞在某些特定場合下，常用主動形式表被動含義。這類動詞有 write , read , clean , lock , wear , wash , catch , work , cut , draw , start 等。例如：
This kind of cloth cleans easily . 這種布(料)易洗。
This home-made pen writes smoothly . 這支國產筆很好寫。
His book does not sell . 他的書沒有銷路。
Her letter read like this . 她的信是這樣寫的。
The car can\'t start . 這輛車開不動(發動不了)。
The recorder won\'t play . 這臺錄音機不轉了。
四、某些實義動詞被當作系動詞用時含有被動意義，但不能用被動式。這類動詞有 look , sound , feel , taste , smell , keep , stay 等。例如：
You look pale . What\'s the matter ? 你的臉蒼白，是怎么回事 ?
His theory sounds reasonable . 你的理論聽起來很有道理。
Good medicine tastes bitter . 良藥苦口。
Food can keep fresh in a fridge . 食物在冰箱里能保鮮。
The shop stays open till 8:00 p . m . 這家商店一直要開到晚上八點。
五、在不定式結構中，下列情況要用主動形式表被動含義：
1 . 當不定式的邏輯主語以動作執行者的身份出現在句中時，例如：
Do you have anything to say for yourself before you die ? 你死前有什么話要說嗎 ?
The theory is too abstract for a child to understand . 這理論太抽象，孩子不能理解。
2 . 在“be +形容詞+ to 不定式”結構中。例如：
He is hard to satisfy . 他很難滿足。
I don\'t think this so-called big movie is terribly interesting to watch . 我認為這部所謂的巨片并不十分好看。
3 . There be 結構中，作定語的不定式多用主動表被動，但也可用被動式，意義上一般無差別。例如：
There is no time to lose / be lost . 沒有時間可浪費了。
但當句中主語為 something , anything , nothing 時，作定語的不定式用主動或被動式其含義有區別：
There\'s nothing to do - I\'m bored . 無事可干椢頤頻沒擰?/P>
There\'s nothing to be done - I\'ll have to give it up . 沒辦法椢抑緩梅牌??/P>
4 . 在 be to blame , be to let 等結構中，不定式的主、被動形式都可表達被動含義。例如：
He is not to blame . 他不該被責備。
Are the cameras to let ? 這些相機出租嗎 ?
六、在某些介詞后，動名詞用主動形式表被動含義。常見介詞有 past , beyond , above 等。例如：
The question is beyond / above teenagers understanding . 這個問題還不能被十幾歲的孩子理解。
The pain was almost past bearing . 疼痛幾乎無法(被)忍受。
最后補充一點。不及物動詞沒有被動式，這是我們都知道的；可是有的同學由于受漢語思維習慣的影響，常將這樣一些詞或詞組用于被動語態。最易被這樣誤用的詞(組)有 happen , last , spread , end , take place , break out 等。現舉幾例，以示其正確用法：
The newly - imported foreign film lasts almost three hours . 這部進口的外國影片幾乎要放映三個小時。
Great changes have taken place in the whole world since the end of World War Ⅱ . 第二次世界大戰結束以來，整個世界已發生了巨大的變化。
The news spread quickly in the town . 消息在城里迅速傳開。
二、學海導航
【學法指要】
● 定語從句典型錯誤例析
1. 誤：The finger I dipped into the cup was not the one I put it into my mouth .
正：The finger I dipped into the cup was not the one I put into my mouth .
析：雖然finger 后省掉了在定語從句中作賓語的關系代詞 that / which ，但是定語從句中也不能重復先行詞，故 it 多余。
2. 誤：Mary was late for the meeting again , that made the manager angry .
正：Mary was late for the meeting again , which made the manager angry .
析：逗號之后不用關系代詞 that 引導定語從句，而用 which 引導非限制性定語從句修飾前面整個句子，并在從句中作主語等。
3. 誤： The students , many of them are girls , have come back to school .
正： The students , many of whom are girls , have come back to school .
析：介詞或介詞短語后的定語從句不用關系代詞that 。若修飾人時關系代詞用 whom，修飾物時關系代詞用 which 。如：The knife with which he cut the branch is sharp .
4. 誤：Is this farm which you visited last time ?
正：Is this farm the one you visited last time ?
析：上例中 this farm 為主語而非先行詞。因此誤句缺少表語 the one ，即缺少后面定語從句的先行詞。
5. 誤：You are the only one of the girls who dance well .
正： You are the only one of the girls who dances well .
析：定語從句部分的謂語形式必須與行詞在人稱和數上保持一致。上例中先行詞 the (only)one 為單數。對比：You are one of the girls who dance well. (先行詞為 the girls )
6. 誤：I won\'t forget the time when I spent in the countryside .
正： I won\'t forget the time I spent in the countryside .
析：先行詞 the time 在從句中作動詞 spent 的賓語，而非時間狀語。因此關系代詞which 或that 可省。
7. 誤： All what he said is true .
正： All he said is true .
析：先行詞為 all 時定語從句用 that 引導，且 that 作賓語時可省，此句相當于主語從句 What he said is true . 但 what 不能引導定語從句。
8. 誤：Tom , for whose life had once been very hard , has started a company recently .
正：Tom , for whom life had once been very hard , has started a company recently .
析：定語從句中介詞 for 提前，life 應是從句部分的主語。若先行詞置于從句中應為 Life had once been very hard for Tom .
9. 誤： There are a lot of people plant trees there .
正：There are a lot of people who plant trees there .
析：主句為 There are a lot of people .先行詞 people 在定語從句中做主語，故從句部分缺少關系代詞。
10. 誤：I often go to the street which she lives .
正：I often go to the street where she lives .
析：定語從句中的謂語動詞 live 是不及物動詞，因此先行詞 street 在從句中應作地點狀語而非賓語，應用關系副詞 where 引導從句，相當于 in which .

〖答案與賞析〗1 . B 見文中第三段第一句。 2 . A where 在此引導定語從句，相當于 in which 作狀語，故選 A。 3 . D 據文章意思這里表轉折。 4 . C meet ，意為“滿足”，常與 needs 搭配使用，meet the needs of 是“滿足……的需要”之意。A . support(支撐)、B . spend(花費)、D . have(擁有)都不合題意。 5 . A 這里表原因。 6 . C A、B、D三個選項中的詞均不可與數字連用。 7 . D 由文意決定。8 . B 不想搬家正是因為 George 確實喜歡這個地方。 9 . B 該句是說 George 不喜歡這一想法，這里并不涉及別人的建議問題，故C不對。A、D也不合題意。 10 . C 該句是虛擬語氣，表示對將來的一種假設，故主句該用 would have to。 11 . B 下句有揭示。 12 . B in (deep) trouble 是固定搭配，意為“處于困境中”。 13 . D 這家公司的電動機之所以不好銷是由于日本人正在以低價銷售這種產品的原因所致，A、B、C不合題意。 14 . D (sell) at low prices 或(sell) at a low price 為固定搭配，意為“以低價(出售)”。 15 . A 此處表結果。其它三個選項不符合邏輯。 16 . B 這里指“降低價格”，符合題意，A、C、D與題意不符。 17 . C therefore(因此)、however(然而)、and so(表遞進)，均不合題意，故選 otherwise “否則；要不然的話”。 18 . B 下句有提示。 19 . C 據文章的意思公司是沒錢給工人提高工資，而并非連工資都發不下來。 20 . A 要想使公司能正常維持下去，Manley 就必須設法留住最好的工人，后文提到的 George 就是一例。 21 . B 據上下文情景及 again 一詞推斷。 22 . C what 引導賓語從句，并指代 Strong 所想和 Manley 談話的內容，語法上做介詞 about 的賓語，A、B 項均不能做 about 的賓語，D意思不對。 23 . D 留不住像 George 這樣的好工人，當然首先是公司的前景不妙，且文章第三段第一、二句提示有 the company，故A、B、C項均不合題意。 24 . A unless 表條件，意為“除非……”，在此符合題意。 25 . C 接踵而至的問題，自然讓人感到 Manley 的麻煩似乎沒完沒了，A、B、D項意思正好相反，故均不合題意。
