whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved. 本句中的两个whether分别引导主语从句和宾语从句。 归纳拓展 whether与if引导名词性从句时的区别: (1)whether可以直接与or not连用,if不可以。 (2)引导位于句首的主语从句,用whether,不用if。 (3)引导表语从句和同位语从句,用whether,不用if。 (4)动词不定式之前用whether,不用if。 (5)介词之后的宾语从句用whether,不用if。 多维训练 根据括号内汉语意思完成句子。 ①__Whether_we'll_go_camping_tomorrow__(明天我们是否去野营)

onethird等词,表示“是……的一半/几分之几”。 归纳拓展 有关倍数的表达方式还有: ①倍数+as+adj./adv.+as ... ②倍数+形容词/副词的比较级+than ... ③倍数+the+名词+of ... 温馨提示 (1)在“倍数+the+名词+of”结构中,常用的名词有size, height, weight, length, width等。 (2)两倍用twice或double,不到一倍用分数表示,三倍或三倍以上一般用times来表示,如three times, four times等。 多维训练 根据括号内汉语意思完成句子。 ①It is said that the power plant is now __twice_as_large_as_what_it_was__(过去的两倍). ②Our new campus is five times __the_size_of_the_old_one__(旧校园大小). ③As new technology is introduced, this company __produces_three_times_as_many_ computers_as_last_year__ (生产的电脑是去年的三倍). 单句改错。 ④It is reported that the United

(1)make +it+形容词/名词+不定式/从句 (2)make+宾语+宾语补足语 (3)find, feel, think, take等动词也有这样的用法 多维训练 完成句子。 ①Mastering the technology __makes_it_possible_for_us_to_use__ the Internet more effectively.

protect the environment for future generations. 解析:句意:为了子孙后代,当地政府在保护环境方面所能做的事情是显而易见的。It为形式主语,________ the local government can do to protect the environment for future generations是真正的主语,该主语从句缺少宾语,且表示物,故填what。 2.New technologies have made __it__ possible to turn out new products faster and at a lower cost. 解析:考查it作形式宾语。 3.All possible means __have_been_taken__(take) to prevent the river __being_polluted__ (pollute). 解析:考查主谓一致和非谓语动词。 4.If they win the final tonight, the team are going to tour around the city __to_be_cheered__ (cheer) by their enthusiastic

asleep at night, so he went to see the doctor. 解析:考查it作形式宾语。 10.Susan made __it__ clear to me that she wished to make a new life for herself. 解析:本题考查代词的运用。句意:苏珊清楚地跟我表明她希望为自己创造新的生活。分析句子结构可以看出,该句中包含一个that引导的从句,而且根据语境可知,that从句的内容就是苏珊向我表明的事情,所以后置的that从句实际上是made的真正宾语,故用形式宾语it指代that从句。 11.The manager wants to see changes in the company, and I am sure he will __in__ time. 解析:句意:经理想要看到公司的改变,我确信他迟早会看到的。in time“及时;最后,迟早”,符合题意。 12.It remains to be seen __whether__ the newly formed committee's policy can be put into practice. 解析:本题考查名词性从句。句意:那仍然得看新形成的委员会政策能否付诸实践。It在此为形式主语,故seen后为真正的主语从句,又由remains to be seen可知存在不确定的意思,所以用whether(是否)。 13.The top leaders of the two countries are holding talks in a __friendly__(friend) atmosphere. 解析:句意:两国高层领导人在友好的氛围(atmosphere)中进行谈判。 14.—Thank God you're safe! —I stepped back, just in time __to_avoid__(avoid) the racing car. 解析:答语句意:我退后了一步,正好避开了奔跑的汽车。in time to do sth.“正赶上做某事”。 15.It's said that the power plant is now twice __as__ large as what it was. 解析:本题考查倍数的表达法。句意:据说这个发电厂现在是过去的两倍大。“倍数+as...as”是倍数的表达法,意为“是……的几倍”,其中as...as之间要用原级。 Ⅱ.完成句子 根据语境和汉语提示完成下列英语句子。 1.An

Some scientists think that the earth gave the birth to the moon because the moon circles our planet. Others believe that the moon existing before the earth was formed. They think that earlier in time it travelled through space as a small planet which is caught by the earth's gravity. In a result, it goes around our planet.

Which is clear is that the moon is smaller than the earth and this prevents it from escape from the earth. Although its origin may still be puzzled, the moon can never be anything more than a satellite of the earth. 答案: Is the moon a planet?This question is if students are to show that they understand the nature of astronomy.
