本單元的中心話題是當代人類最為關注的人口問題，通過學習課文了解世界人口的狀況

並學習過去將來時的用法。語法重點學習過去將來時。

【 指點迷津 】

單元重點詞彙點撥

1 . population 人口；人數

- What's the population of that city ? 那個城市的人口有多少 ?

- The city has a population of 300 , 3000 . 該市有30萬人口。

The population of the city is less than / 200 , 000 . 此城的人口不到20萬。

〖 點撥 〗population 作主語謂語通常用單數，但當其前面有百分數、分數修飾時，謂語用複數。have a population of 有……人口。問人口多少有 what 或者 how large 。

2 . following 接着的；以下的

He became quite well the following day . 第二天，他的身體便好了。

Please translate the following sentences into English .

3 . mouth 嘴

Open your mouth , please .

The boy filled his mouth with food .

His mouth is watering . 他在流口水。

〖 點撥 〗複數直接加 s 。have a dirty mouth 説髒話。from hand to mouth 勉強餬口。

4 . beginning 開始；開端

I've read the book from beginning to end . 我已把這本書從頭到尾讀完了。

The beginning of the book is interesting . 這本書開頭很有趣。

Good beginning is half done . 良好的開端是成功的一半。 ( 諺語 )

〖 點撥 〗by the end of 到……末端為止，by the way 順便説一下。

單元詞組思維運用

1 . on earth 在地球上

Two thousand years ago , there were only 250 million people on the earth . 兩千年前，地球上只有兩億五千萬人。

We live on the earth , but in the future some will be able to live on the moon . 我們生活在地球上，將來有些人可能生活在月球上。

注意on earth 是“世界上；究竟”。如：

What on earth do you mean ? 你究竟是什麼意思 ?

He is the greatest man on earth . 他是世界上最偉大的人。

2 . hour after hour 一小時接着一小時，不停地

If the population goes on hour after hour , it will be the biggest problem in our country . 如果人口一小時又一小時地繼續增長下去，它將成為我國最大的問題。

So it goes on , hour after hour . In one day , people have to find food for over 250 , 000 mouths more . 隨着一小時又一小時地過去，僅在一天內，人們就必須提供25萬人吃的食物。

They worked on hour after hour and never left tired . 他們不停地工作，從不感到累。

類似詞組還有：day after day 一天又一天 / year after year 一年又一年

3 . at the beginning of 在……初期；在……開頭

At the beginning of the twentieth century , the world's population was about 1 , 700 million . 在20世紀初，世界人口大約17億。

You can find the sentence at the beginning of this chapter . 在這一章的開頭你能發現那個句子。

注意at the beginning 是“開始，開頭”。如：

At the beginning he wasn't interested in maths . 起初他對數學不感興趣。

4 . at the end of 在……的末尾；在……的盡頭

At the end of the road you'll see the hospital .

At the end of his journey , he went to Shanghai . 在旅行快要結束時，他去了上海。

At the end of 1979 , he came back from Japan . 在1979年末，他從日本回來。

5 . some day 總有一天，有朝一日

Some day you will be sorry about it .

6 . faster and faster 越來越快

The world's population is growing faster and faster . 世界人口增長得越來越快。

注意“比較級 + and + 比較級”表示“越來越……”。又如：

She's getting thinner and thinner . 她越來越瘦了。

7 . no more than 只有，僅有

We have walked on more than ten miles . 我們走了頂多只有10英里。

It took her no more than an hour to write the article . 她僅僅花了一小時就寫完了那篇文章。

辨析：not more than 的意思是“至多”，“不超過”。試比較：

There are no more than five students in the classroom . 教室裏頂多只有五個學生。 ( 強調“人少”的意思 )

There are not more than five student in the classroom . 教室裏的學生不超過五人。 ( 強調“不超過”的意思 )

二、學海導航

【 學法指要 】

單元難點疑點思路明晰

1 . 以介詞開頭的特殊疑問句句型

By what year will the world's population reach 6 billion ? 到哪一年，世界人口將達到六十億 ?

介詞 by 在此表示“到 ( 什麼時候 ) 為止”。在特殊疑問句中，當疑問句作介詞賓語時，有時可將介詞放在句首。又如：

By whom is the book written ?

At what time did you tell him to meet us ?

From which library did you borrow the book ?

To whom were you talking ?

2 . 不定式作定語的句型

There will not be enough space even to stand in on the earth . 就是在地球上站着，也不會有足夠的地方了。

不定式 even to stand in 用作定語，修飾 space . 注意，stand 是不及物動詞。當不定式是不及物動詞而作定語修飾名詞時，它後面就應有必要的介詞。如本句型中的 in 。又如：

He still had no house to live in . 他仍然沒有房子住。

There is nothing ( for us ) to worry about . 沒有什麼值得發愁的。

He is a very nice person to work with . 他是一個很好共事的人。

3. the world’s population 世界人口

( 1 ) population 常用來表示一個地區、一個城市、一個國家的總人口數，當 population在句中作主語時，它後面的動詞應該用單數形式。如：

What's the population of the world ? 全世界有多少人 ?

Wuhan has a population of about seven million . 武漢大約有七百萬人。

( 2 ) people 常用來表示一個較小範圍內的具體人數。如：

About two hundred people came to that meeting .

4 . 英語中數詞的讀法

( 1 ) 大家知道，數字每隔三位數就有一個分節號，分節以後，各節就成了101 - 999第三位數了。第一分節號前是 thousand ( 千 ) ，第二個分節號前是 million ( 百萬 ) ，第三個分節號前是 thousand million ( 英國讀法 ) 或 billion ( 美國讀法 ) ( 十億 ) 。讀的時候十位數 ( 或個位數 ) 的前面一般要加 and ( 也可不加 ) 。因此，333 333 333 讀作：three hundred ( and ) thirty - three million , three hundred ( and ) thirty - three thousand , three hundred and thirty - three

( 2 ) 英語沒有單獨表示“萬”和“億”的詞，所以：

10 000 ( 一萬 ) 讀作：ten thousand

10 000 ( 十萬 ) 讀作：one hundred thousand

10 000 000 ( 一千萬 ) 讀作：ten million

100 000 000 ( 一億 ) 讀作：one hundred million

5 . About eighty - one million 是 The population of Germany ( 或 It ) is about eighty - one million 的簡略形式。

6 . … and find out the answers to these questions . ……並找出這些問題的答案。

( 1 ) 辨義：find 與 find out

find 多用於直觀所“發現”或“找到”的東西；find out 則強調通過思索、調查等所發現的事物。例如：

I haven't found my pen yet .

We must find out the result of the thing .

( 2 ) 句中的介詞 to 表示一種對應或配套關係，不可用介詞 of 。例如：

This is the key to the front door . 這是前門的鑰匙。

Where is the monument to Liu Hunan ? 劉胡蘭紀念碑在哪裏 ?

7 . Standing room only 只有立足之地

room 在這裏意為“空間，地方”，為不可數名詞。例如：

The bed takes up too much room .

8 . By what year will the world's population reach 6 billion ? 到哪一年，世界人口將達到60億 ?

( 1 ) by“到……止；不遲於”。例如：

By the end of last year , they had learned about one thousand English words .

I'll be back by ten o'clock . 我將10點鐘以前返回。

比較：I'll be back at about ten o'clock . 我將於10點左右返回。

( 2 ) 在特殊疑問句中，當疑問詞作介詞賓語時，有時將該介詞置於疑問詞前。例如：

With whom were you talking just now ? 剛才你和誰交談 ?

From which library did you borrow the book ? 你從哪個圖書館借的這本書 ?

9 . Maybe you think that isn't many . 可能你認為174個嬰兒並不多。

名右的 that 代替前面提到的 174 babies，這是一個具體的 number ( 數字 ) ，作為一個整體，代詞用 that 而不用 those 。例如：

He's learned about five thousand English words . That's really a big number .

The child has learnt hundreds of English words . That isn't easy for him .

10 . So it goes on , hour after hour . 人口出生就這樣一小時一小時的延續下去。

( 1 ) so“如此”的意思。it 指上文提到的人口出生。

( 2 ) go on “繼續不斷”的意思。可作及物或不及物動詞詞組用。例如：

The work went on well . 工作進行得很好。

Peter went on doing his homework though he was tired .

( 3 ) hour after hour “一小時接一小時。例如：

day after day 一天天 ，year after year 一年又一年

11 . In one day , people have to find food over 250 000 mouths more . 每過一天，人們就不得不為增加的25萬多張嘴尋找食物。

( 1 ) 句中的 in 與表示“所用的”時間連用。例如：

She finished reading the book in a week . 她用一星期時間看完了這本書。

( 2 ) 介詞短語 over 250 000 mouths more 是介詞 for 的賓語。例如：

250 000 mouths more“多25萬張嘴”。注意這種表達結構，其中的 more 表示數量的增多。例如：

We don't hear clearly . Please read the text once more .

They've learned about one thousand English wors . And we've learned two hundred more . 他們學了約 1000 個英語單詞，我們還多學了 200 個。

( 4 ) 介詞 over 可作“多於”、“超過”之意。例如：

It cost me over ten yuan .

12 . Just think how many more there will be in one year ! 想想看吧，在一年時間裏將會增加多少人 !

( 1 ) just 常與祈使句連用。例如：

Just come here a moment . 請到這兒來一下。

( 2 ) How many more there will be in one year 是動詞 think 的賓語從句。

13 . The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today . 人口問題可能是當今世界最嚴重的問題。

( 1 ) the greatest one 即 the greatest problem , one 為代詞。

( 2 ) 介詞短語 of the world today 是 one 的定語。

14 . The world's population is growing faster and faster . 世界人口增長得越來越快。

( 1 ) grow 意為“增長，增大”。句中用進行時 is growing , 很好地表達了當今世界的人口狀況。

( 2 ) faster and faster 是副詞重疊，修飾 is growing，作狀語。副詞和形容詞比較級的這種重疊使用，相當於漢語的“越來越……”。例如：

The train ran faster and faster . 火車開得越來越快。

15 . But at the beginning of the twentieth century …，然而在二十世紀初……

at the beginning of…“在……之初”。例如：

At the beginning of the class , the teacher drew a picture on the blackboard .

在開始上課的時候，老師在黑板上畫了幅畫。

16 . A Un report says that world population will pass six billion by the end of the twentieth century . 一份聯合國報告表明，到二十世紀末，全球人口將超過60億。

( 1 ) Un＝ ( the ) United Nations“聯合國”

( 2 ) pass 意為“超過”。例如：

Run faster , or Li Ming will pass you .

( 3 ) pass 通常還作“通過”、“經過”之意。例如：

We all passed the exam last week .

17 . People say that by the year 2010 , it may be seven billion . 人們説，到 2010 年，世界人口可能達到 70 億。

( 1 ) by“到……為止，不遲於”。

( 2 ) 句中的 2010 是 the year 的同位語。例如：

the year 1949 一九四九年，the year 1997 一九九七年也可説 the year of 1949 , the year of 1997

這裏的介詞 of 表示同位關係。

18 . There will not be enough space for anybody else . 再也沒有足夠的空間來容納任何其他的人了。

anybody 為不定代詞，副詞 else 修飾不定代詞必須後置。

19 . the more developed countries 比較發達的國家

the less developed countries 不太發達的國家

20 . Which country has the larger population , Canada or Australia ? 哪個國家人口多些，加拿大還是澳大利亞 ?

population 一詞指的是總人口 ( 見本單元 1 ) ，所以，説人口多就用 large population 或 big population , 反之就用 small population 。

21 . population ( in hundred million ) 人口 ( 以億為單位 )

介詞 in 表示“用……方式”。例如：

( 1 ) Answer my question in English , please ?

( 2 ) Look , the students are standing there in rows .

22 . There will not be enough space even to stand in on the earth . 地球上將連站立的空間都不夠。

( 1 ) 不定式 even to stand in 是 space 的定語，而 space 在邏輯上 ( 或意義上 ) 則是介詞 in 的賓語。這種結構中的介詞是不能沒有的，因為 stand 是不及物動詞，不能接賓語，要特別注意。

我們可以説 stand in space 而不能説 stand space 。

( 2 ) 當上面結構中不定式的動詞是及物動詞時，則不能用介詞。例如：

I've some important letters to write .

23 . 同義詞 hear 與 listen 的區別。

hear 與 listen 這兩個詞都是動詞，都有“聽”的意思。但意思有區別，用法也不同。

hear 是及物動詞，表示“聽見”，“蝗到”，可能是有意識的聽，也可能是無意誤解的聽。

Louder , please , I can't hear you .

We heard someone laughing in the next room .

hear 還可作不及物動詞，後接 of ( about ) 表示“聽別人説” ( 指間接聽到 ) ；後接from 意 思是“收到 ( 某人 ) 的來信”。如：

I have never heard of such a thing . 我從未聽説過這種事。

Have you still not heard from him ? 你還沒有收到的來信嗎 ?

listen 是不及物動詞，表示有意識或注意地“聽”，交不説明是否聽見的結果；必須加 to 才能接賓語。如：

He often listens to news on radio .

I listened but heard nothing . 我注意聽了，但什麼也沒聽見。

24 . 相似詞 after , in , later 的區別

after 作介詞表示在“某時間之後”， ( 1 ) 它可以表示“在過去的一段時間之間”。 ( 2 ) after 後面不用將來時，而是用現在時態表示將來的含義。如：

She went after three days . 她是三天後走的。

I'll phone you after I arrive . ( or : after I have arrived . ) 我到了之後，給你打電話。

但不説：She will go after three days .

也不説：I'll phone you after I'll arrive .

in 表示從現在起，將來的某時間之後。如：

I will come and see you in five days . 五天以後我來看你。

later 用作副詞，常用在過去時的句子中，表示“一段時間之後”。如：

She came a few minutes later . 她幾分種後就來了。

later 也可用在一般將來時中。如：

You will realize your mistake later .

你以後會認識到你的錯誤。

I shall call on you three months later .

三個月後我來看望你。

25 . 同義詞 field , ground , earth , land 的區別

( 1 ) field ( 土地，田地 ) ，指可以耕種和種植農作物的土地。

The peasants are working in the fields .

( 2 ) ground ( 地，土地，地面 ) ，主要指大地、陸地的表面，也可以指土壤、場

地、泥土。指陸地時，土地、沙地、水泥地都可用這個詞。

The little boy was lying on the ground .

( 3 ) earth ( 土，土地，泥土，地面 ) ，可用作“大地”，以別於天空。用作“地面”，以別於海、洋、大氣和天空。還可用作“泥土”，以別於堅硬的巖石。earth 還可作“地球”解。如：

The house is built of earth . 這房子是用土築成的。

The earth is bigger than the moon . 地球比月亮大。

( 4 ) land ( 土地，地面，田地 ) ，作陸地、大地講時，是河流、海洋的相對用詞。用以指土地或土壤時，着重指它的性質、用途，即可耕種的田地。如：

Are you going by land or by sea ? 你走陸路或是海路 ?

Fish cannot live on land . 魚不能在陸地上生活。

He owns a lot of land , but he never works on the land . 他擁有許多土地，但他從不耕作。

26 . 數字表達法

注意英語和漢語在表示數字上的異同：

英語和漢語在表示“百”、“千”、“百萬”、“十億”時分別有相應的單詞，如 hundred ( 百 ) ，thousand ( 千 ) ，million ( 百萬 ) ，billion ( 十億 ) 。但在英語中，沒有單獨的詞表示“萬”和“十萬”，而要用“ten thousand”表示“萬”，用“one hundred thousand”表示“十萬”。例如：

數字 漢語 英語

100 一百 one hundred

1 000 一千 one thousand

10 000 一萬 ten thousand

100 000 十萬 one hundred thousand

1 000 000 一百萬 one million

10 000 000 一千萬 ten million

100 000 000 一億 one hundred million

1 000 000 000 十億 one billion

1 200 000 000 十二億 one billion and two hundred million

【 妙文賞析 】

A Foolish Man Buys Shoes

There was once a foolish man . One day he wanted to go to the market to buy a new pair of shoes . He first measured his feet with a ruler and then took a piece of thread the length of his feet on it . He was in such a hurry to set off that he left the thread of home .

At the market , when arriving at a shoe store , he felt in his pockets , but he only found that thread wasn't in . So he said to the shop assistant in a regretful voice , “I've left my measurement at home , so I don't know the size , I'll have to go back for it . ”With these words , he hurried off .

He hurried home for the thread and then ran back to the market . It took him a lot of time in the trip home and back . By the time he reached the market , it was almost dark and the market was already over . He had gone to all this trouble for nothing , failing to buy the shoes .

Then someone asked him , “Do you want to buy the shoes for yourself or for someone else ? ”

“For myself , of course ! ”he answered .

The man asked him , “Well , but haven't you brought your feet with you ? What do you need to bring the measurement for ? ”

單元語法發散思維

過去將來時態

過去將來時的動詞表示對過去某一時間來説將要發生的動作或呈現的狀態。這個時態常用在賓語從句中。過去將來時有以下幾種形式：

1. should / would + 動詞原形

He said he would be there before Sunday . 他説他星期天以前將在那裏。 ( be 動詞肯定式 )

I hoped I should not go the next week . 我希望下星期我不去。 ( do 動詞的否定式 )

注意這個時態是一個相對的時態，立足於過去某時，從過去的觀點看未來。

2. was / were going + 動詞不定式

過去將來時的這種表達形式可以表示過去曾經打算或計劃準備要做的事。如：

They told me that they were going to have a picnic . 他們告訴我他們將要舉行一次野餐。

They were going to have a meeting . 他們曾經打算開個會。

過去將來時的這種形式可以表示過去將要發生或很有可能發生的事，但未實現的動作。

I was just going to ring him up when he came . 我剛要給他打電話，他就來了。 ( 電話沒打成 )

有時也用 was / were + coming 表示過去將來時，如：

I didn't know when they were coming again .

3. was / were + 動詞不定式

was / were about + 動詞不定式

Mary was to meet Jack at the street corner . 瑪麗將在街道拐角處同傑克見面。

We were about to leave when the telephone rang . 我們正要走，電話鈴響了。
