五、重点、难点、考点及疑点注释
1. ...and help to educate the public about caring for them. ……并且帮助教育公众关爱它们。（section a, 3b）
care for表示“喜欢”，“关心”之意，后接名词或v-ing形式作宾语，take care of也有这个意思。
he cared nothing for skating. 他对滑冰没有兴趣。
in our class, we care for each other. 在我们班上，我们相互关心。
maria takes good care of everybody. 玛丽亚很关心大家。
【友情链接】care for还可以表示“照顾”，“照料”，相当于take care of或look after。
at night he fed and cared for the cattle. 夜里他照料牲口，给牲口喂食。
you must care for yourselves.
=you must look after yourselves.
你们要照顾好自己。
the children are well cared for in the nurseries.
=the children are taken good care of in the nurseries.
孩子们在托儿所受到很好的照顾。
2. you have probably never heard of amy winterbourne. 你可能从来没有听说过amy winterbourne。（section b, 3a）
【知识归纳】hear, hear from, hear of与hear that从句的用法：
（1）hear单独使用表示“听见”，“听到”，常用的结构有：
◎hear sb./sth. 听到某人或某物的声音
i can’t hear you at all. 我根本就听不到你的声音。
haven’t you heard anything? 难道你没有听到什么声音？
◎hear sb. do sth. “听到某人做某事”。
i often hear li ping read english in the morning.
我经常在早晨听到李平读英语。
◎hear sb. doing sth. “听到某人正在做某事”。
i heard him singing in the next room. 我听见他正在隔壁房间里唱歌。
特别提示：
hear sb. do sth. 指听到整个行动或整个事件；而hear sb. doing sth.是指听到了行动的一部分，有正在发生的意思。试比较：
i heard the boy go down the stairs. 我听到这个男孩走下楼去。
i heard the boy going down the stairs. 我听到这个男孩下楼的声音。
（2）hear from意为“收到……的信”；“得到……消息”。
how often do you hear from your father? 你每隔多久收到你父亲的信？
have you still not heard from him? 你还没有收到他的信吗？
i haven’t heard from him since he telephoned.
自从他打电话以来，我一直没有他的消息。
特别提示：
hear from的宾语是表示人的名词或代词，而不是表示信件的名词。
魔力纠错：
我们好几个星期未收到他的信了。
误：we haven’t heard from his letter for weeks.
正：we haven’t heard from him for weeks.
正：we haven’t got a letter from him for weeks.
（3）hear of意为“听说”，后面接名词，代词或动名词。
i’ve never heard of that before.我以前从未听说过那件事。
she disappeared and was never heard of again.

我听说其中一只熊猫生了个熊猫宝宝。
3. she is a most unusual woman. 她是一个十分不寻常的女性。（section b, 3a）
【知识归纳】a most, the most的用法

this is a most interesting story.这是一个非常有趣的故事。
（2）the most 的用法
◎在“the most+形容词+名词”结构中,most 是副词，表示程度，意为“最”，与其后的形容词一起构成形容词的最高级。

this is the most difficult (one) of the three. 这是这三者中最难的。
4. the walls are made from old glass bottles that are glued together. 墙是由旧玻璃瓶粘在一起建成的。（section b, 3a）
be made from/of意为“由……（原料）制成”，后面一般接物质名词。接from则表示某物品制成后，已看不出原材料是什么，原材料在制作过程中已起了化学变化；接of表示某物品制成后，仍可看得出原材料，其原料在制作过程中仅起了物理变化。

5. amy recently won an award from the help save our planet society. 艾米最近获得了“救助地球”协会的奖励。（section b, 3a）
（1）recently 表示“最近”，多用于完成时态。

recently he has made quite a few mistakes. 最近他出了不少错。
（2）won an award中award是 “奖”的意思，相关词语有prize，reward和scholarship，这几个词都与“奖”有关。
（3）句中的win表示“赢”奖的意思。
at the national amateur song-writing contest, he won a first-class award.
在全国业余作曲比赛中，他获得了一等奖。
win可表示“赢得比赛，战斗”等，宾语一般是比赛，竞赛，战争等名词，与beat近义。
知识拓展：
win与beat的用法

we won the match months ago. 几个月前，我们赢得那场比赛。
which side won the battle? 这一战谁打胜了？

六、语法：
“动词不定式”全搜索
动词不定式的基本形式是“to+动词原形”，有时可以不带to。在句子中作主语、宾语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语。动词不定式没有人称和数的变化，在句子中不能作谓语。
1. 作主语
动词不定式作主语时，常用作形式主语放在主语的位置，而将动词不定式（短语）放到句尾。如：
it’s a good habit to have breakfast every day. 每天吃早饭是个好习惯。
it’s easy to get lost in a big city like tokyo. 在东京这样的大城市容易迷路。
2. 作表语
动词不定式放在系动词后面作表语，通常说明主语的内容或性质。如：
your task is to clean your classroom. 你的任务就是打扫教室。
the old man’s job is to take care of the flowers in the garden.
这位老人的工作是照料花园里的花。
3. 作宾语
动词不定式常用在agree, decide, hope, learn, offer, plan, prefer, pretend, refuse, want, wish等及物动词后作宾语。如：
i want to know what i should do next. 我想知道我下一步做什么。
i decided to take the chance. 我决定抓住这次机会。
有的动词不定式作宾语，且在后面有宾语补足语时，常用it作形式宾语。常用句型：think / consider / find + it + adj. + to do sth. 如：
i find it necessary to talk to tom once again. 我觉得再和汤姆谈一次很有必要。
4. 作宾语补足语
①动词不定式在ask, allow, advise, expect, remind, tell, urge, want, wish等及物动词后作宾语补足语。如：
i expect you to give me some help. 我盼望你给些帮助。
②动词不定式在“一感觉feel；二听listen to, hear；三使let, make, have；四看watch, see, look at, notice”等词后作宾语补足语时，通常省略to。如：
i saw your mom go into the shop. 我看见你妈妈进了商店。
5. 作定语
动词不定式作定语时，要放在所修饰的名词或代词后。如果动词不定式中的动词是不及物动词，则该动词不定式须加上相应的介词。如：
new york is a good place to visit. 纽约是个游览的好地方。
there is nothing to worry about. 没有什么可担忧的。
6. 作状语
①表目的
to catch the early bus, i got up early this morning.
为了赶上早班车，我今天早早就起床了。
②表结果
动词不定式作状语表示结果时常与too或enough连用。如：
the box is too heavy to carry. 这个箱子太重了搬不动。
there is enough time to catch the train. 有足够的时间赶上这班火车。
7. 动词不定式与疑问词连用
动词不定式与疑问词who, which, when, how, what等连用，在句中起名词的作用，可充当主语、宾语、表语等。
how to solve the problem is very important. 如何解决这个问题很重要。（作主语）
mr. green didn’t know what to say. 格林先生不知道该说什么。（作宾语）

dear editor,
i’ve just read an article in a newspaper about saving tigers. it says that the number of tigers is becoming smaller in our country. it’s terrible.
[例文]
i saw a few people sell bones of tigers by the roadside the other day. i also learned that some people killed tigers in order to make money. and too many trees have been cut down. the places where tigers used to live were destroyed. tigers are in danger of dying out.
our government should punish the hunters. we should try our best to make our earth pleasant and peaceful, not only for human beings but also for animals.
yours faithfully,
li hua
