二、课文导学
【课文背景介绍】
1.民以食为天,粮食是世界上绝大多数人直接的、主要的食物,即使动物性的食物也是由粮食和其他植物性原料转化而成的。
2.人类早在1万年前就开始种植作物,目前全世界约有10亿人从事农业。农业发展
大致经历了原始农业、传统农业和现代农业三个阶段。
3.粮食问题是当今世界五大问题(能源、人口、粮食、资源和环境)之一。世界粮食
问题包括两个方面:一方面占世界人口大多数的亚非拉地区粮食匮乏,人民营养不足,有些国家饥荒严重,又无力进口粮食,甚至每年世界上有几千万人饿死;另一方面少数发达国家粮食过剩、大量积压、浪费严重。前者是问题的主要方面。
4.粮食问题产生的根源是地区生产不平衡,国家间的分配不均造成。主要是因为:(1)旧的国际经济秩序依然存在;(2)粮食地区生产和消费的严重不平衡;(3)发展中国家贫困,粮食生产仍较落后;(4)人口增长快。
【释疑解惑】
1.Have you ordered yet?你点过菜了吗?
order v. 点菜,定购,命令(常带复合结构)
He had ordered some new books from England.他从英格兰订购了几本新书。
2.Yes ,I sure can. 是的,我的确饿了。
sure 在这儿是副词,在美国英语中,sure常用表示“当然,可以”的意思,相当于
英国英语的certainly/of course.。在表示这一意思时,用 sure或surely都可以。
例如:“May I borrow your knife?”
“Certainly/of course/sure/surely.”
“Can you dance?”“ I certainly can!”/“I sure I can!”
3. Right now I could eat an ox.(=I’m so hungry now that I could eat a whole ox.)
现在我吃得下一头牛。
could表示一种虚拟语气,是一种与事实不相符的夸张说法。
4. My only regret is that it’s quite a long way from all my friends.
我唯一遗憾的是那里离我所有的朋友都太远。
that 引导的从句作句子的表语,称为表语从句,用来说明主语regret 的内容。例如:
Wang Junxia’s greatest regret in the 1996 Olympic Games was that she didn’t get gold medal
in the 10,000-metre race.
王军霞在1996年的奥运会上最大的遗憾是她在1万米赛跑中未能拿到金牌。
5.All the same I expect you’ll enjoy coming into town now and again.(=Even though you will be quite a long way from your friend, I expect you’ll enjoy coming into town.)
尽管如此,我还是盼望你常来城里。
①all the same(虽然)…还是(even so )
You say the bridge is safe; I shall take care all the same.
虽然你说这桥很安全,但我还是要小心。
It was raining hard ,but we got there in time all the same.
那时下着大雨,但我们还是准时到达那儿。
②now and again 有时,不时地(from time to time ,at times)
I don’t think about my old home very much, only now and again.
我不是非常想老家,只是有时会想起。
His students come to see him now and again.
他的学生们时常来看他。
6.Today farming employs more people than any other type of work.
目前从事农业的人比从事任何其它行业的人都要多。
more than any(other)+比较对象,这是用比较级的句型表示最高级的概念。例如:The
Changjiang River is longer than any other river in China.(=The Changjiang River is the longest river in China)长江比中国的任何一条河都长。
在这一句型中,any表示“任何”;any other表示“任何别的”,说明比较的对象属于同一范围。又如:
China is larger than any country in Africa.
中国比非洲的任何国家都大。(不在范围内)
China is larger than any other country in Asia.
中国比亚洲的任何别的国家都大。(在范围内)
7. It is thought 1 billion people ,that is half the world’s workers ,earn their living by farming.
据认为有十亿人,也就是全世界劳动人口的一半,是靠务农谋生的
①本句属于It is /was thought +that 从句.it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句。
例如:
It is thought that the food in this supermarket is cheap.人们认为这个超市里的食品便宜。It
is reported in the papers that the President of the USA will arrive next Monday.
报纸报导美国总统将于下星期一抵达。
It is known to all that the earth travels round the sun..众所周知,地球是绕着太阳运行的。
②…,that is half the world’s workers, …,作为插入句,是对1 billion people 的进一步说明。
③earn赚,挣(to get money by working);博得,赢得(to get sth. because of one’s qualities)
He earns ¥3000 a year by writing stories.
他写小说每年挣3000元。

他12岁就开始自谋生活。
8. For one thing ,two thirds of the earth’s surface is water, although this does provide a lot of food in the form of fish.
首先,地球表面三分之二是海洋,尽管海洋确实提供了大量可作食物的鱼类。
①For one thing…(=One reason why it is difficult to feed the world’s population
is that…)作“首先”,“一则”解,用来列举理由。后面有时跟for another(其次,再则)。例如:Ican’t go. For one thing. I have no money ; for another , I have no time.
我去不成。一则没有钱,再则没有时间。
The house was poorly built ; for one thing, the roof leaked.
房子造得很差,理由之一是屋顶漏雨。
②does provide 确实提供了,助动词do 用在陈述句、祈使句中可加强语气,要重读。
例如:He did tell me he would go aboard. 他确实告诉我他要出国。
强调否定意思的用 never.
例如:Never tell her the sad news. 千万别把这个不幸的消息告诉她。
Never forget this lesson. 千万别忘了这个教训。

Cars pollute the air in the form of waste gas.
汽车以排出废气的形式污染空气。
9.First , it is being built on.(=First , buildings are being built on the land.)
第一,在耕地上搞建筑。
要注意在被动语态的句子里,介词很容易被忽视,在这里介词on 不能少。例如:
The patient is being operated on. 正在给这个病人做手术。
The children are being taken good care of. 孩子们被照顾得很好。
10.What can be done in order to make sure that no one in the world goes hungry?
为了确保世界上没有人挨饿,人们可以做些什么呢?
go hungry作“挨饿”解。go + adj.表示“转变成… ”,go 是连系动词,作“变得”解。
这个结构常用来表示情况变坏。例如:
The machine goes wrong. 机器出了毛病。
He went almost mad when he heard the news. 他听到这个消息时几乎发疯了。
His illness is going worse. 他的病情正在恶化。
11.In the European Union(EU),where 81% of the land is farmed ,there is plenty of food ,in fact often too much.
在欧洲联盟有81%的土地用作耕地,在那儿粮食充足。事实上,粮食常常是太多了。
①where 引导的非限制定语从句修饰先行词the EU.
②百分数加名词作主语的句子,其谓语动词必须和其后的介词of 后的名词的数保持一致。用法可参见Unit5重点语言分析。
③too much 太多,在句中可作主语、宾语和定语。例如:
Don't think too much of yourself. 不要自以为了不起。
There is too much rain these days. 最近雨水太多。
Too much has been done. 已经做得太多了。
12. They would not vote to lose their land and wealth , even if it resulted in a fairer society.

13.Many less-developed countries are in debt because they borrowed money from richer countries in order to develop industry.

①less-developed adj.由副词+过去分词构成的形容词。例如:widely-used , well-known等。
②in debt to欠(…的)债;欠(…的)情;受(…的)恩惠
He is deeply in debt. 他债台高筑。
Right now he is in debt to me for more than 20,000 yuan. 现在他还欠我两万元。
I’m deeply in debt to you for your help. 我对你的帮助感激不尽。
[典型错误例析]
1. 成功在于努力工作。
[误] Success results in hard work.
[正] Success results from hard work.
[析] result in表示结果,result from表示“在于。。。”
2. 这个农场饲养了大量的猪和牛。
[误] A large number of pigs and ducks are brought up on this farm.
[正] A large number of pigs and ducks are raised on this farm.
[析] raise既可作“养育子女”,又可作“饲养(牲畜)”解,bring up只作“养育子女” 解。

1.细节题
细节题是根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问,选择的依据必须是短文本身提供的信息。提问的方式举例如下

2.主旨题
主旨题用来测试考生对整篇短文的理解能力,可以问短文的标题、主要内容、主题、作者的态度、目的、短文的基调等。这类题要求考生必须通读全文,抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义,找出其内在联系,通过对已获得的信息进行加工、提炼,最后得出文章的主题或段意。提问的方式举例如下

The text is mainly about——
What is the main topic of the passage?
Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
What is the main idea expressed in the passage?
3. 推理题
推理题的答案往往在短文的字面上不会出现, 必须根据已知信息来推理。因此, 推理题有一定的难度。这类题要求考生在理解全文的基础上,动用逻辑思维,哲学原理,并且借助一定的常识进行分析、推理、判断。提问的方式举例如下
What is probably the main reason that。。。
It can be inferred from the text that。。。
The writer of the text would most probably 。。。

The underlined word “one” refers to。。。
The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to 。。。
5.猜测词义
猜测词义要求考生根据上下文具体语境做出判断。这类题的考察内容既可以是生词,也可以是熟词、词组或句子。经常考名词或动词。提问的方式举例如下
The underlined phrase“figure out” in the text means。。。
The underlined word “leg” in “Bicycle tour and race”probably means
The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means
6.识别图形
识别图形要求考生根据短文内容判读图形。这类题目考察的仍是推理判断能力,要从图中找准信息,文图参照,互相验证,抓住各图之间的实质差别所在,做出准确计算、判断和抉择。

Dear Irene,
Many thanks for your letter of 20th December to Waiming and me. Waiming's mother sent it to us here in England. I thought I had better reply myself since, as you know, your brother is not very good at writing letters.
You asked whether Waiming' s application for a scholarship had been successful. Well, as you can see by now, it was. He is doing a one-year postgraduate course in world history here at Lancaster University. The little house we live in is near the university. We have to buy a used car which is necessary because the bus service here is very poor.
We arrived in England at the beginning of September, and stayed in Low don for three weeks with my cousin Kwok, who owns a large restaurant there. This was the first time he met my husband. Then we went to Cambridge for a week, where Waiming had to attend a meeting, and after that we came up to Lancaster and had two weeks to find somewhere to live and generally got organized before Waiming's course began.
The weather has been quite a change from home. Last week we had some snow, the first we had ever seen. We went outside and threw snowballs at each other, just like children!
We get on very well with most of the English people we have met, although we had some difficulty at first understanding the northern accent.
Well, that's about all our news. Waiming s course is going well, and if he passes his exams we will be free to return home in July.
Love,
Sally

December 30th, 2001 Saturday Sunny / Fine
I’m very happy today, for I have just attended John Denver’s Concert and had a most wonderful time there. (起因阐述明了)
As everyone knows, John Denver is one of the most famous American country music singers, who has made a lot of records that are very popular among the youth, and many of his classic songs are broadcast on the radio and televisions over and over again. With his songs, he has been to many countries and given concert where they are badly needed. Now he has come to China and is giving us a wonderful one.(中间这段的描述时要注意所用的时态。)
I was lucky enough to get a ticket for this concert and it was a good chance for me to hear his sweet ,beautiful voice. It led me to the sunny and beautiful countryside. Though I couldn’t figure out all the words, yet I was deeply moved by it.
I think today is the most important day for me.
