快)是副词，一般不指速度的快，而是强调时间上的早晚；d. rapid(迅速的，急促的)是形容词，一般不说明速度的快慢，而是强调动作的节奏快，另外词性也不和好要求；只有b. fast (快，迅速)既可以做形容词，也可以做副词，可以指速度的快慢，所以选b.

【知识点讲解】 1. 今天还是继续熟悉一般过去式。我们看到在课文一开始就用Last week 来点明事件发生的 时间，把整个语境都摆到了过去的状态里。有同学可能会问：那第二句也用到 She does not know London very well... 这里也是一般现在时态啊!我们要注意的是，这里说“米尔斯夫人不熟悉伦敦”是一个持续的状态，不是说米尔斯夫人在上周才不熟悉伦敦，而是她一直以来都不熟悉，所以这里前半句用的是一般现在时态，紧跟着的一句“she lost her way ” 又回到一般过去式了。 2. 还是第二句中“...and she lost her way.” 这里我们看到中文的翻译是“所以她迷路了”。这并不是说and 的意思可以是“所以”，and 还是“以及、和”的意思，这里只是用中文惯式的连词“所以”来翻译了这个意思而已。 3. 今天又学到了两个不规则的动词过去变化，大家要特别记忆一下：speak - spoke;understand - understood 。另外再顺便记一个：stand - stood ，站立。 Lesson73 Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. 'I can ask him the way.' She said to herself. 'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?' The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist. Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook. He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. 'I am sorry,' he said. 'I do not speak English.' 上星期米尔斯夫人去了伦敦。她对伦敦不很熟悉，因此迷了路。 突然，她在公共汽车站附近看到一个男人。“我可以向他问路，”她想。 “对不起，您能告诉我到国王街怎么走吗?”她说。 这人友好地笑了笑。他不懂英语!他讲德语。他是个旅游者。 然后他把手伸进了衣袋，掏出了一本常用语手册。 他翻开书找到了一条短语。他缓慢地读着短语。 “很抱歉，” 他说，“我不会讲英语。”
学习-----好资料 Lesson 72 A Famous Clock 一个著名的大钟【Text】 The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird. 【课文翻译】 杰出的赛车选手马尔科姆.坎贝尔爵士是第一个以每小时超过300英里的速度驾车的人。他于1935年9月在犹他州的邦纳维尔盐滩创造了一项新的世界纪录。他驾驶的“蓝鸟”牌汽车是专门为他制造的。它的车身长30英尺，有一个2,500 马力的发动机。尽管坎贝尔达到了每小时超过304英里的速度，但他很难把汽车控制住，因为在开始的行程中爆了一只轮胎。比赛结束后，坎贝尔非常失望地得知他的平均时速是299英里。然而，几天之后，有人告诉他说弄错了。他的平均时速实际是301英里。从那时以来，赛车选手已达到每小时600英里的速度。很多年之后，马尔科姆爵士的儿子唐纳德踏着父亲的足迹，也创造了一项世界纪录。同他父亲一样，他也驾驶着一辆名叫“蓝鸟”的汽车。 New words and expressions 生词和短语

I can't put up with him any longer. 多项选择题讲解 1. 选（d）。 根据课文第5～6行But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent… 只有（d）it had begun to rain and they felt tired才是孩子们去睡觉的原因。（a）it was late是事实，但不是他们睡觉的直接原因；（b）they had sung songs不符合逻辑；（c）it began to rain 只是一方面原因，但不够完整。 2. 选（c）。 根据课文后两行The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under the tent! 只有（c）had camped in the path of a stream（在一条小溪穿过的地方露营）与课文实际情况相符，其它三个选择（a）had a good night's sleep（睡了一晚上好觉）、（b）stayed in their tent all night（整晚呆在他们的帐篷里）、（d）had camped beside a stream（在一条小溪旁露营）都与事实不符。 3. 选（d）。 （a）it put up和（b）their tent put up语序错误，宾语应该放在谓语动词的后面；（c）put up it也不正确，当宾语是代词时应该放在动词和副词之间；只有（d）put their tent up语序正确，宾语tent是名词，既可以放动词和副词之间，也可以放副词之后，所以要选（d）。 4. 选（d）。 （a）As soon不能引导状语从句，因为后面缺少as； （b）Just as（正当）可以引导从句，但它强调两件事情同时发生，而这个句子是表示两件事一前一后发生；（c）Until（直到……为止）词义不对；只有（d）Just after（刚刚……之后）时间正确，也符合语法。 5. 选（d）。 （a）they had hunger不符合英语习惯；（b）they had hungry语法错误，hungry是形容词，它前面应该是连系动词be，而不是had；（c）they were hunger也不符合语法，连系动词were后面应跟形容词，不能跟名词hunger；只有（d）they felt hungry是正确的，动词fell后面既可以跟形容词hungry，也可以跟名词hunger。 6. 选（b）。 只有选（b）near（在……旁）才能同前一句中的by the campfire（在篝火旁）意思相同；（a）close 是形容词，后面要加上介词to；（c）besides是介词，但表示“除……之外”，词义不对；（d）at（在……）没有“在……旁”的意思。 7. 选（a）。 本句是一般过去时的疑问句，需要选正确的谓语动词。只有选（a）flow是正确的；（b）flowed是过去式，在疑问句中已经用助动词did提问了，就不应该再用过去式了；（c）flew是fly（飞）的过去式，时态和词义都不对；（d）fly词义不正确。 8. 选（d）。 （a）sing songs（唱歌）、（b）tell stories（讲故事）、（c）play（玩）这三个选择都不能同前面的They cooked a meal构成因果关系，因此不符合逻辑；只有（d）eat（吃）才是They cooked a meal的原因，所以是正确答案。 9. 选（d）。 本句是对前一句The boys had put out the campfire （孩子们扑灭了篝火）的解释说明。（a）switched on （打开电源开关）不符合题义：（b）on fire（着火）意思不通；（c）on（打开的）指电源而不是指火，be动词和on连在一起还有“上演”的意思；三者都不对。只有（d）alight（着火的，照亮的）是表语形容词，在这里作表语，并同前一句意思相同，是正确的。 10. 选（c）。 只有选（c）were very quiet（很安静）才与前面的They crept into their tent（他们钻进帐篷）的意思相符，因为creep有“蹑手蹑脚”的含义。而（a）made a lot of noise（制造很多噪音）、（b）ran quidkly（快 跑）、（d）were very noisy（非常吵闹）这三个选择都不符合creep的含义。 11. 选（c）。 只有（c）comfortable（舒适的）最符合句子的要求，因为连系动词were后面应该跟形容词作表语，说明sleeping bags的状况。（a）a comfort是名词、（b）in comfort是介词短语、（d）comfortably是副词，词性都不对。 12. 选（c）。 只有（c）deeply（深深地）修饰sleep才与前一句的soundly（香甜地）意思相近；而（a）noisily（吵闹地）、（b）fast（快）都不符合题义；（d）good（好的）是形容词，不能修饰动词sleep。 1

新概念英语第二册逐句精讲语言点第75课(2) Lesson 75 SOS 呼救信号 When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters "SOS" in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash. 句子讲解： 5、The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. 这位妇女知道，即使最近的村庄也有数英里远。 6、When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. 夜幕降临时，她把提箱当作小床，把她的孩子们放了进去，又将所有 能够找到的衣服都盖在了孩子们身上。
