二 重点难点解析
(一)
1. cheng na, one of the top students inguangzhou.程娜，广州的高材生之一。
*one of the top students = one of the beststudents高材生之一
"one of＋名词复数”表示“……之一”
2. all of her family work in herbusiness.她所有的家人都在她的公司工作。
☆family表示“家庭”或“家人”，是集合名词，若视为整体，动词用单数；若逐个考虑其个体，则动词用复数。例：my family is very large.我家是个大家庭。my family are all verywell.我的家人都很好。
☆business n.生意businessman n.商人（男）businesswomann.商人（女）
busy adj.忙的busily adv.忙地
3. in my own car. own a. 自己的
in one's car = by car坐小汽车
4. 辨析：attend， take part in， join
☆三者都有“参加”之意。attend 指参加、出席会议；take part in多指参加活动；join 指加入组织、团体、党派。例：my father attends ameeting every thursday afternoon.我爸爸每周四下午要去开会。
you’d better take part in all the activities at school.你最好参加学校的各项活动。
do you want to join the league? 你想入团吗？
5. on friday we have computer club meetings.每周五我们都参加电脑社会议。
☆have用作行为动词，常与一名词连用表示与该名词相当的动词意义，如：havea meeting/a swim/a walk/ alesson…开会/游泳/散步/上课……。否定句和疑问句中要用助动词do/does/did。例：-doyou often have a walk after supper? –yes, i do./ no, i don’t.
6. i go to my office and continue working on my games.然后我到办公室继续设计电脑游戏。
☆continue doing sth. 继续做某事。例：how can you continue writing insuch dim light？这么暗的光线你怎么能继续写呢？
☆work on 从事（某工作）
（二）

2. two pieces of bread: 两片面包 不可数名词的记数方法：

3. she lives nearby and always walks toschool.她就住在（学校）附近因此总是步行去上学。
4. zhou hui usually walks home at four o’clock inthe afternoon.周慧通常是下午四点钟步行回家。注意walkhome中，home前不用to。
5. she usually spends one or two hours onit.她通常那上面花费一到两个小时的时间。
（三）
1.my grandmother is the small lady with thewhite hair.我的奶奶是那个长有一头白发的女士。注意with the whitehair这个短语的用法，它被放在lady的后面，作定语，因此叫做后置定语，限定和表现lady的外观和年龄。
2.oh,isee.哦，我明白了。注意see在此具体环境下的翻译。
3.she is the youngest, except for thebaby.除了小宝宝，她（就）是最年轻的。
三 语法讲解
1.一般现在时
一般现在时表示目前的状态及经常发生或习惯性的动作，常与usually,often, sometimes, everyday等状语连用。也可用于表达一种客观事实、习惯和作息时间表。
1)谓语用动词原形；当主语为第三人称时，动词后＋s/es.
i get up at six every morning·
the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
2)动词第三人称单数变化规则如下：
（1）一般动词后＋s;
（2）以s/x/ch/sh结尾的动词＋es. mixes/discusses/washes/teaches
（3）go/do十es，goes/does
（4）一些以y结尾的动词如y前是辅音字母，则将y改成i + es.studies/hurries/worries
（5）如y前是元音字母就加s. plays/stays
3)其否定句或疑问句是用助动词do或does构成。
do you have lunch at school? yes，i do. /no, i don't.
does he go to work on foot? yes，he does./no, he doesn't.
i don't go to school onsundays.
she doesn't do her homework at home.
2.频度副词（always, usually, sometimes, seldom,often...）在句子中的位置
1)位于主要行为动词的前面。例： he often doeshis homework in the evening. (does是行为动词）
2)位于be 动词的后面。例：she is always latefor school.（is是be动词）
3)位于助动词和主要行为动词之间。例：i don'tusually go to school by bus. (don't是助动，go是行为动词)
3.how often来询问动作所发生的频率。
4.时间状语（once一次 twice两次 three times三次 fourtimes四次 on monday/every day，etc.）常位于句首或句末。
补充阅读一篇：

the above is a brief account of my daily life on weekdays.there isno school on sundays. i usually review my lessons in the morningand call on some friends or to go to see a film in theafternoon.
补充材料b
一、usually, sometimes, always,often等词在英文中被称为“频度副词”，是用来表示动作频率的，但程度上有别。一般说来可按频率大小排列：
always＞usually＞often＞sometimes＞seldom（很少）＞never（决不）
其中：
always是频度最大的词,意为"总是；永远"。如:
i shall always remember my first day atschool.我将永远记住我上学的第一天。
usually意为"通常",即很少例外,频度仅次于always。如:
what do you usually have forbreakfast?你通常早餐吃什么？
often意为"经常",在频度上不如usually那么频繁。如:
li ping often does his homework in theafternoon.李平经常在下午做作业。
sometimes意为"有时候",频度比often小,表示动作偶尔发生,间断较大。如:
1.i sometimes go to the library.我有时去图书馆。
2.sometimes i read a book in theevening.我有时在晚上看书。
二、频度副词的位置
1. 在be动词之后。如：
she is sometimes very busy. 她有时很忙。
2. 在第一个动词或情态动词之后。如：
i will never forget the first time i met you.我将永远忘不了和你的第一次见面。
3. 在实义动词之前。如：
we often go there. 我们常去那儿。
4. sometimes也可放在句首、句中或句末，often也可放在句末。如：
sometimes she writes to me. 她有时候给我写信。
she writes to me often. 她经常给我写信。
三、用法
1. often, always,usually等通常和一般现在时连用，表示现在经常或反复发生的动作。如：
it often rains here in april. 这儿四月份常下雨。
2.always与进行时连用时，并不强调动作正在进行，而是表示赞叹、厌烦等情绪。如：
he is always thinking of others. 他总是想着别人。（赞叹）
she is always asking silly questions.她老是问些愚蠢的问题。（厌烦）
3. 对这些频度副词提问时，用how often。如：
i write to my brother sometimes.
how often do you write to your brother?
1.tom usually does his lessons after supper.汤姆通常在晚饭后做功课。
how oftendoes tom do his lessons after supper？
2.kate sometimes plays games with her elder sister.凯特有时和她的姐姐做游戏。
how oftendoes kate play games with her elder sister？
四、时态：频度副词常与一般时态连用，如果带某种情感时则与进行时态连用。如：
1.myfather usually tells me a story on sundayevenings.我爸爸通常在星期天晚上给我讲一个故事。
2.whenhe was a child， he was always asking questions and trying out newideas. 他小的时候，总是问一些问题，并试验一些新的观点。
pretty和 beautiful
beautiful
adj.
美丽的, 很好的
pretty
adj.
漂亮的, 可爱的, 优美的, 机灵的, 恰当的
ps.pretty可以修饰形容词pretty young是相当年轻的意思.
she is pretty. 她好漂亮.pretty 当作漂亮解时, 和beautiful 程度上差不多, 但如果真的要比的话, beautiful 还是比 pretty要 beautiful 一点. 另外还有一种用法就是当球赛有精采的表现时,你就可以说, oh! that’s pretty. 但是不能说, that’s beautiful,跟中文是不是有点类似呢?
pretty和beautiful在汉语的意思上没有太大的分别。但是在英语里有不同。后者的程度比较深。人家外国人见了人会夸pretty，但是很少用beautiful。除非是那种巨美的。
pretty在某种程度上来说，没有beatuiful好看，一般外国人不太用beautiful来形容人的，一般只会说pretty girl。
另外的一个区别是beautiful只能做形容词，修饰名词，做定语。而pretty除此种用法外，还能做副词= very， eg：that’s a pretty good idea。
总的来说pretty单指长得美
beautiful包括心灵美
所以称赞人还是beautiful好
pretty 和 beautiful
还是几年前，和两个同事聊天，聊起了这两个词的区别，记得当时我是这么信嘴胡咧咧的：“pretty是指后天的教养，是指一个人为人做事很漂亮，让人舒服，比如说漂亮人物。而beautiful主要是指天生的、有力量的、能震撼人心的美。”今天又想起这件事，是因为这两天看了英国bbc出品的6集《傲慢与偏见》，我实在是喜欢《傲慢与偏见》，不同版本的小说和影视作品都搜罗来看，而它令我着迷的原因，就是因为它从满眼的pretty不经意间就落到了beautiful上。
绅士和淑女的生活，讲究的就是一个pretty，虽然这种生活有些令人乏味。丽萃和她姐姐简是班纳特一家最pretty的两个人物了，而且简还是公认的美人，然而她们的妈妈和妹妹们却很让人胸闷，言谈举止几乎处处失当，因此也造就了简和丽萃婚姻上的一波三折。简和彬格莱先生一见钟情，然而一场舞会，一次全家人的集体出丑，彬格莱先生热心的朋友达西和高傲的妹妹有心的劝阻，就促成了彬格莱先生弃简而去，而简对这个结果几乎一直是听天由命、逆来顺受。后来多亏了达西的良心发现，才促成了彬格莱和简最后的喜结良缘。无可否认彬格莱和简是一对漂亮人物，可是一直到结束，他们也仅仅让我觉得是一对漂亮人物而已。丽萃和达西就给了我完全不一样的感觉，丽萃从长相上也许不能算是一个美人，可是她有力量，所以她敢于做自己想做的事，不畏惧地位比自己高的人。她拒绝达西的求婚，因为达西对待简不公正，因为达西不接受她的家人。她也拒绝达西的姨妈对她提出的不许接受达西求婚的不合理要求，因为她要对自己的幸福负责。随着丽萃一点一点显露她的力量和勇气，她也变得越发光彩照人起来。丽萃对达西的偏见和达西为人的傲慢，原本是两人很大的缺点，而达西第一次求婚的失败促使了两人对各自缺点的觉悟，接下来两人的转变就顺理成章，结局就让我觉得无比的beautiful了。
写到这里突然想到了城市气质，这是很多人写过也有很多人响应的话题，我觉得上海是很偏重pretty的城市，这大概也是外乡人到上海不适应的原因，可是过分的追求pretty就会像彬格莱小姐或达西的姨妈咖苔琳夫人一样惹人反感或逗人发笑。而中国能够称上beautiful的城市，我因为孤陋寡闻，不敢妄说，大家不妨评评看。
