【釋疑解惑】
1．We’ll have some more bricks. 我們還得買些磚。
We can get some more bricks tomorrow. 我們明天再買些磚。
“more”置于數詞，some, a few, a little, many, much之后表達 “再…,”(除了前面提到之外）
另外，若在疑問句或否定句中要用在any之后。
e.g. Read it once more, please. 請再讀一遍。
The house has six rooms more.這房子還有六間屋子。
Have you any more paper? 你還有紙嗎？
I think we’ll have. any more chances.
我認為我們不再有任何機會了。
2．What can we do to make it look less ugly?
我們能想個辦法使它不那么難看嗎？
句中less ugly 為形容詞的“劣等比較”.我們過去學習的由-er, -est或more 和most 構
成的比較極為“優等比較級”，表示“比…強。”劣等比較表示“不如…”構成比較簡
單：比較級用 less+原級；最高級用least＋原級.
e.g He got up less early than you .他起得不如你早.
The computer is less dear than that one . 這臺計算機不如那臺貴.
3．As long as that ? 要那么長時間嗎？
該是“Will it take as long as that ?”的省略式.
“as long as +時間長度”表“長達…”
e.g Once they worked as long as 20 hours a day .
他們一度工作每天長達20小時.
The game lasted as long as two hours .這場比賽長達兩小時。
注意：as long as 還可做條件狀語從句連接詞表示“只要”
e.g As long as you work hard at English , you ll succeed.
只要你肯在英語上下功夫，你會成功的。
As（so）long as you need me ,I ll stay . 只要你需要我，我就留下來。
另外，表示條件狀語從句的連接詞還有：on condition that 它是以提出條件為先決
條件的條件狀語從句的連接詞。如：
On condition that you return on time, I will let you out.
只要你能按時回來我就讓你走。
4．…we must stop people walking on this floor until it s firm.
在地板安牢之前，我們不能人們在地板上走動。
該句中 stop…（from）doing 阻止某人做某事
Stop the children（from）playing with a fire. 別讓孩子們玩火。
We must stop him（from）giving up the plan. 我們不能讓他放棄這個計劃。
類似的結構還有：
prevent…（from）… 阻止…做某事
protect…（from）… 保護…（免受）…
keep…from… 使… 不要做…
在keep…from結構中from不可省。
本單元有個這樣結構：
more than 70,000 square metres of stone were cleaned and （were）protected against the
water.
（他們）清洗了7萬多平方米的石頭，并做了防水處理。
5．…to put up a notice saying“Keep off ”

7．––Is it necessary to keep the brushes in water?
––Yes .If you don t , they ll go hard .
––有必需把刷子放在水中嗎？
––有必要.若不這么做，刷子會變硬的。
該句中go 為系動詞，hard 為形容詞“硬的”
go 可以作系動詞 ，表示變化的結果，絕大多數表示“糟糕”或“不好”的狀態。
e.g She went red with anger.她是氣得臉變紅.
The eggs went bad. 這雞蛋變臭了。
8．––I think we should paint the wall while.
––Yes . It looks a bit ugly as it is.
––我認為要把墻塗成白色。
––是的，像現在這樣，它看上有點難看。
as it is =in reality ,“事實上”，“像現在這個樣子.”“可以說”它用于句首或句尾。
e.g He is like a brother to me ,as it were .
他好比是我哥哥。
Leave it as it is .保持原樣。
9．The country had been at war for many years…

at war 處于戰爭狀態。
e.g. The two countries were at war . 這兩國那時處于交戰狀態。

e.g. at rest 在休息; at play 在玩
at work 在辦公; at lunch 在吃飯 at desk 在做功課.
10．and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces.

In 1991 the Soviet Union fell to pieces. 在一九九一年蘇聯解體。

e.g. come to pieces 分解開來 支離破碎

tear…to pieces 撕得粉碎
take …to pieces 分解，解體.
11．Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced
一堆石頭放在院子的一角，準備做更換之用。
（1）in a corner 在角落
注意：at the corner ,on the corner 與in the corner 的區別.

在房間角落里有把掃帚。
There is a glass on the corner of the table . （兩線成的角）
在桌子角上有個玻璃杯。
There is a telephone box at the corner of the street .
在街的拐角處有座電話亭。
由兩個面或兩個線相交之處即是角corner.從外側看則為“角”；從內側看則為“隅”依
此對“角”要用at 或on，而對“隅”則要用in 。
at 表示交的“點”，on 則表示面上的角。
（2）waiting to be replaced
這里wait 之后接不定式，表示等候做某事。
We are waiting to be examined. 我們在等候檢查。
我們過去學習的短語是wait for .這里for 所接的人或物，實為不定式邏輯主語。
e.g. We are waiting for the teacher (to come ).

它太貴，此外，我今天也沒帶著錢.
（1） 該句中的left是過去分詞，此處作定語，修飾主語workers. 作“留下”“剩下”解.常用的句型是: There is / are +主語+ left. (只剩下…)。
e.g. Hurry up ! There’s not much time left for us .
快點！我們的時間不多了。

V. 閱讀理解 20%
A
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat． The usual problem is how to get rid of it． But the designers of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat． They have designed a collection system which makes good use of not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as electric lights and refrigerators（冰箱）as well． The system works so well that no coal or electricity is used to make the university’s six buildings warm and comfortable．
Some parts of most modern buildings – theatres and offices as well as classrooms – are heated by people and lights far more than necessary, and sometimes they must be air conditioned（有空調的）even in winter． The skill of saving heat and sharing it out again in a different way is called “heat recovery”． A few modern buildings recover heat, but the university’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others．
Along the way, Pittsburgh University has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers． The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off． Boy students send out more heat than girl students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces． It sounds rather reasonable to draw the following conclusion that the hottest prospect for the Pittsburgh University would be a hardworking, overweight boy student who is very clever in the university．
1．According to this passage, the heat system of the Pittsburgh University is supplied by __________．
A．human bodies B．human bodies and electrical equipments
C．human bodies and coal D．human bodies, electrical equipments and coal
2．The skill of heat recovering is used to __________．
A．find out the source of heat B．produce a special form of air conditioning

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another． It doesn’t matter where you live – in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village – the chances are that you’ll be disturbed by jet aero planes, transistor radios, oil powered engines, etc． We seem to be getting used to noise, too． Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they’re working．
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being． However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums（耳鼓）． The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas．
One recent report about noise and concentration（專心）suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise． It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn’t change too much ( music, for example ) may even help people to concentrate．
1．According to this passage, the noise pollution __________．
A．has become the worst in the country side
B．has become better in big cities
C．has spread from cities to villages
D．has been controlled in modern cities
2．What does background music refer to?
A．Music played while people are working
B．Music played in the backyard．
C．Noise that continues while you’re listening to other noises．
D．Music used to help people to concentrate．
3．Some people have their hearing harmed__________．
A．while listening to pop music B．in complete silence
C．when speaking loudly D．while watching TV

The cloth made a pleasant noise as Charlies dipped it in the bucket of water and then squeezed it dry． The feel of it in his hand changed a great deal with its condition: slippery when it was wet and rough like cork when it was dry． He went over the glass of the window once more, this time with the dry cloth． Then he dropped it into the bucket and left it there while he took another dry cloth out of his pocket and gave the window a final polish．
The hot sun beating directly on the glass dried up the last of the dampness and showed how clear and shining it had become． The windows were really clean． That was the lot! The last window of the last house he was going to do that morning． As it was Saturday, that meant that work was over for the week． He had worked – he had earned his living – for a whole week! His heart gave a jump of joy as he climbed backward down the ladder, holding the bucket expertly in his left hand． He seemed to have been doing it all his life．
Charlies went to the back door of the house and was handed his money: seventy-five pence． It had taken him about half an hour to earn it． Left to himself, he would never have asked for so much, but he had been careful to find out the usual rates of pay． He had gone to the owner of the house where he was man had replied, “It works out at about five pence a window”．
1．How many times did Charlies wipe each window?
A．Once B．Twice C．Three times D．Over and over again
2．How was Charlies feeling as he went down the ladder?
A．Pleased with life
B．Afraid
C．Surprised
D．Free from worry

This summer I spent my holiday on a small island called “Mingzhu Island”. Though it was an out-of-the-way place without modern hotels or restaurants, I had no trouble with food and water there. The island was lovely, with wild flowers and green trees growing everywhere. The swimming and sunbathing there were excellent, too, Besides, it was not so crowded with tourists like most places of interest. I love the peace there. I thought it was the best place I'd ever visited.
