3a

Ken ： The most interesting museum I’ve ever been to is the American Computer Museum. They have information about

different computers and who invented them. The old computers were much bigger. It’s unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way! I’ve also learned that there was a special computer. It could play chess even better than humans. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.

Amy: I’ve recently been to a very unusual museum in India, the International Museum of Toilets. I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum

teaches people about the history and

development of toilets. It also encourages

governments and social groups to think about

ways to improve toilets in the future.

Linlin: Last year I went to the

Hangzhou National Tea

Museum. It’s a relaxing and

peaceful place near a lake.

The tea art performances

show how to make a perfect

cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. Watching the tea

preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea

itself. I’ve finally realized why my grandpa loves

drinking tea and collecting tea sets.

computers there.

1. The most interesting museum I’ve been to is the American Computer Museum.

多音节词和部分双音节形容词最高级加 most构成，前面加 the 。如 : the most beautiful girl

2. The old computers were much bigger. much 可修饰形容词比较级，表示……得多。 如 : much richer a little, even, a bit 也可以修饰形容词比较级。

3. It’s unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way

句中 rapid 意为“快速的；飞快的”，表达“发生或做得极快，用时短暂”，与 fast, quick 同为近义词，但更加正式。

Practice安全气囊急速膨起的力量可挽救成人的生命。

The force of the rapid inflation of airbags saves adult lives.

这种疾病的迅猛传播给社会大众带来了恐慌。The rapid spread of the disease has threatened the public.

经常与 rapid 搭配使用的名词包括： change, growth, increase, rise, decline, progress, development, improvement 等。

注意： 在 rapid 一词的使用中，最常见的是用于描述事物及环境变化的短时和快速。

4. I wonder how much more computers will be

able to do in the future.

不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。l) Wonder “表示 (对某事）感到疑惑；想要知道；

”想弄明白；琢磨 ，后面常接由 what, how, who

或 if / whether （是否）引导的宾语从句。例如：I wonder how they’re getting on.

我想知逍他们现在过得怎样。I just wonder if they’ve arrived safely.

我就想知道他们 是否安全抵达了。

2) 此句从句部分的取始结构处：How much more will computers be able to do

in the future? 是对陈述句 Computers will

be able to do (much) more in the future.

( 电脑 将来能够做更多的事情。）的提问。由于充当了宾语从句，疑问结构被改成了陈

述结构 how much more computers will be

able to do in the future, 即：将助动词 will

还原到陈述句的位置。

5. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to improve toilets in the future.

encourage 意为“给予某人以力量、勇气及希望等 ( 去做某事 )” 或“积极说服、劝说某人( 做某事 )” ，常译作“鼓励；鼓舞；激发”、“怂恿、支持”、“劝告”等。

当宾语为人时，其句型结构为 encourage someone to do… ，用动词不定式作补语。

Practice

课堂上老师们会鼓励学生积极参与及提问。Teachers would encourage students to

participate and raise questions in class.

玛丽鼓励我去报名应聘那份工作。Mary encouraged me to apply for the job.

Practice

王老师常常要求放声朗读。Mr. Wang often encourages reading aloud.

当 encourage 之后直接为所做之事时，句型结构则为 encourage doing… ，要用 v. –ing

的形式。

6. The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets.

a perfect cup of tea 意为“一杯好茶；一杯完美的茶水”。

在英语中，当表示“量”的结构遇有描述性修饰，大多数情况下，人们习惯于将形容词置于表量名词 (unit word) 之前。例如：

an easy piece of homework a good cup of coffee

7. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoya

ble as drinking the tea itself.

看沏茶的过程和饮茶本身一样令人愉快。-able是一个典型的形容词后缀，可加在动词之后，表示“可……的；能够……的” ; 此处 enj

oyable(能使人快乐的；令人愉快的）便是一例，再如： drinkable(可饮用的） , washable (可洗的）， readable (可读的） ,usable (可用的 ;可使用的）等等。

课时重点回顾

rapid 意为“快速的；飞快的”encourage someone to do…encourage doing…a perfect cup of teawonder 后面常接由 what ， how ， who 或 if /

whether ( 是否 ) 引导的宾语从句。- able 形容词后缀，可加在动词之后，表示

“可……的；能够……的”
