4. can 和 be able to
can 與 be able to 都可以表示能力，但兩者在用法上有點(diǎn)差異：can (could)表示主觀能力，不表示意愿，它的將來(lái)時(shí)用will be able to; be able to表示主觀意愿，強(qiáng)調(diào)要克服困難去做某事。例如：
1）My grandma is over seventy, but she can still read without glasses.

5. must 和 have to
must 和 have to 都可以表示“必須”，但有幾點(diǎn)區(qū)別：

（3）在回答must引起的問(wèn)題時(shí)，如果是否定的答復(fù)，不能用mustn’t，而要用needn’t或don’t have to，因?yàn)閙ustn’t是“一定不要”、“一定不能”的意思。例如：
1）You must come to the classroom before eight.
2）It is raining hard outside, but I have to leave now.
3）“Must we do it now?” “No, you needn’t.”
6. used to +do, be used to +doing和be used to +do
（1）used to +v意為“過(guò)去常�！保斑^(guò)去一直”；be used to +v-ing / n（名詞）意為“習(xí)慣于”；be used to +v意為“被用來(lái)（做某事）”。
（2）used to只表示過(guò)去，而be used to +v-ing / n可表示現(xiàn)在、過(guò)去或?qū)?lái)。例如：
1）He used to smoke. Now he doesn’t.
2）He’s quite used to hard work / working hard.

Period 7 Listening and exercise
Step 1 Listening about carvals
1.Introduction of carnivals:
狂歡節(jié)（Carnival），世界上不少?lài)?guó)家都有狂歡節(jié)。這個(gè)節(jié)日起源于歐洲的中世紀(jì)。古希臘和古羅馬的木神節(jié)、酒神節(jié)都可以說(shuō)是其前身。有些地區(qū)還把它稱(chēng)之為謝肉節(jié)和懺悔節(jié)。該節(jié)日曾與復(fù)活節(jié)有密切關(guān)系。復(fù)活節(jié)前有一個(gè)為期40天的大齋期，即四旬齋（lent）。齋期里，人們禁止娛樂(lè)，禁食肉食，反省、懺悔以紀(jì)念復(fù)活節(jié)前3天遭難的耶穌，生活肅穆沉悶，于是在齋期開(kāi)始的前3天里，人們會(huì)專(zhuān)門(mén)舉行宴會(huì)、舞會(huì)、游行，縱情歡樂(lè)，故有"狂歡節(jié)"之說(shuō)。如今已沒(méi)有多少人堅(jiān)守大齋期之類(lèi)的清規(guī)戒律，但傳統(tǒng)的狂歡活動(dòng)卻保留了下來(lái)，成為人們抒民對(duì)幸福和自由向往的重要節(jié)日。
歐洲和南美洲地區(qū)的人們都慶�？駳g節(jié)。但各地慶祝節(jié)日的日期并不相同，一般來(lái)說(shuō)大部分國(guó)家都在2月中下旬舉行慶�；顒�(dòng)。各國(guó)的狂歡節(jié)都頗具特色，但總的來(lái)說(shuō)，都是以毫無(wú)節(jié)制的縱酒飲樂(lè)著稱(chēng)。其中最負(fù)盛名的要數(shù)巴西的狂歡節(jié)。

1. Introduction of Easter
Most English holidays have a religious origin. Easter Day occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox[1].It is originally the day to commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But now for most people, Easter is a secular spring holiday, while for the children, it means, more than anything else, Easter eggs or chocolate eggs! On Easter Sunday morning, the breakfast eggs are boiled in several pans in some families.Each containing a different vegetable dye, so that when they are served the shells are no longer white or pale brown in color, but yellow or pink, blue or green. The dyes do not penetrate[2] the shell of course. Easter eggs are meant to give enjoyment-- and they do! They are pretty and decorative, they signal good wishes and shared happiness in the changing seasons.

Eg: Which team will win the match is still unknown.

Eg: She is the last person to tell lies.
3．The problem was that the earth became violent because it was not clear whether the solid shape was to last or not.
The problem was that …, that 引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，that 只起連接作用，無(wú)意義，但不能省略。
Eg: The trouble is that we are short of money.
4．As the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.
as conj. 隨著，在…期間；由于，因?yàn)�；盡管，即使；當(dāng)…的時(shí)候；像…一樣
5. That made it possible for life to begin to develop.
it 是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是不定式to begin to develop.
Eg: He thinks it’s his duty to help others.
三．功能句型

同位語(yǔ)從句講義及練習(xí)
一、理解同位語(yǔ)從句的含義，把握同位語(yǔ)從句的實(shí)質(zhì)
在主從復(fù)合句中作同位語(yǔ)的從句稱(chēng)為同位語(yǔ)從句。同位語(yǔ)從句一般用that,whether，what, which, who,when, where, why, how 等詞引導(dǎo)，常放在fact,news,idea,truth,hope,problem,information,wish, promise, answer, evidence, report, explanation, suggestion, conclusion,等抽象名詞后面，說(shuō)明該名詞的具體內(nèi)容。換言之，同位語(yǔ)從句和所修飾的名詞在內(nèi)容上為同一關(guān)系，對(duì)其內(nèi)容作進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。
例：The news that they had won the game soon spread over the whole school.他們比賽獲勝的消息很快傳遍了整個(gè)學(xué)校。
析：they had won the game說(shuō)明The news的全部?jī)?nèi)容，因此該句為同位語(yǔ)從句。
二、正確運(yùn)用同位語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞，準(zhǔn)確把握同位語(yǔ)從句
1.如同位語(yǔ)從句意義完整，應(yīng)用that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。（即that 不充當(dāng)任何成分，只起連接作用）
例：The general gave the order that the soldiers should cross the river at once.將軍下達(dá)了戰(zhàn)士們立即過(guò)河的命令。
析：the soldiers should cross the river at once是the order的全部?jī)?nèi)容，且意義完整，因此應(yīng)用that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。
2.如同位語(yǔ)從句意義不完整，需增加"是否"的含義，應(yīng)用whether引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。（if不能引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句）
例：We'll discuss the problem whether the sports meeting will be held on time.我們將討論運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)是否會(huì)如期舉行的問(wèn)題。
析：the sports meeting will be held on time意義不完整，應(yīng)加"是否"的含義才能表達(dá)the problem的全部?jī)?nèi)容，因此應(yīng)用whether引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。
3.如同位語(yǔ)從句意義不完整，需增加"什么時(shí)候"、"什么地點(diǎn)"、"什么方式"等含義，應(yīng)用when,where,how等詞引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。
例1：I have no idea when he will be back.
析：he will be back意義不完整，應(yīng)加"什么時(shí)候"的含義才能表達(dá)idea的全部?jī)?nèi)容，因此應(yīng)用when引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。
例2：I have no impression how he went home,perhaps by bike.
析：he went home意義不完整，應(yīng)加"如何"的含義才能表達(dá)impression的全部?jī)?nèi)容，因此應(yīng)用how引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。
4.當(dāng)主句的謂語(yǔ)較短，而同位語(yǔ)從句較長(zhǎng)時(shí)，同位語(yǔ)從句常后肢。
如：The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city. 他突然想到敵人可能已經(jīng)逃出城了。
三、把握同位語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句的區(qū)別，明確同位語(yǔ)從句和相似從句的界限
同位語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句相似，都放在某一名詞或代詞后面，但同位語(yǔ)從句不同于定語(yǔ)從句。同位語(yǔ)從句對(duì)名詞加以補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明，是名詞全部?jī)?nèi)容的體現(xiàn)，且名詞和同位語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞均不在從句中作成分；定語(yǔ)從句說(shuō)明先行詞的性質(zhì)與特征，與先行詞是修飾與被修飾的關(guān)系，且名詞和定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞均在從句中作成分。
區(qū)分時(shí)可以在先行詞與與從句之間加一個(gè)系動(dòng)詞be,使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)新句子，如果句子通順且符合邏輯，則為同位語(yǔ)從句，反之，則為定語(yǔ)從句。
如：The report that he was going to resign was false.
他將辭職的傳聞是假的。
因?yàn)閠he report was that he was going to resign 句意通順，所以，that he was going to resign 是同位語(yǔ)從句。
例1：Information has been put forward ____ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.(NMET2001上海)
A.while B.that C.when D.as
析：答案為B。more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities是Information的內(nèi)容，且Information不在從句中作成分，所以該句為同位語(yǔ)從句。應(yīng)將該句區(qū)別于：
It is said that more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities，this is the information ____ has been put forward.
A.what B.that C.when D.as
析：答案為B。that has been put forward為information的修飾性定語(yǔ)，且information在從句中作主語(yǔ)，所以該句為定語(yǔ)從句。
例2：She heard a terrible noise,____ brought her heart into her mouth.(MET91)
A.it B.which C.this D.that
析：答案為B。分析語(yǔ)境含義、句子結(jié)構(gòu)和句子成分可知，該句為非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為a terrible noise，且它在從句中作主語(yǔ)。應(yīng)將該句區(qū)別于：
I can't stand the terrible noise ____ she is crying loudly.
A.it B.which C.this D.that
析：答案為D。she is crying loudly是the terrible noise的內(nèi)容，且the terrible noise不在從句中作成分，所以該句為同位語(yǔ)從句。
