will

bemorepollution.將會有更多的污染。

Therewillbe...句型是Therebe句型的一般將來時形式,表示對未來存在某物

的描述。如:?Therewillbemorepeopleinthefuture.未來將有更多的人。

過教材·學(xué)優(yōu)Therewillbe...=Thereisgoingtobe...后者更傾向于已經(jīng)有預(yù)兆,或者有計

劃。如:?Thereisgoingtobeaconcerttomorrownight.明晚將有一場音樂會。

Therebe句型的一般過去時形式為Therewas或Therewere;現(xiàn)在完成時形式

為Therehavebeen或Therehasbeen。2.theenvironmentwillbe

in

great

danger.……環(huán)境將處于極大的危險中。beindanger表示處于危險狀態(tài)。be動詞隨主語和時態(tài)的變化而變化。如:?Thesharksareindangertheseyears.這些年,鯊魚處于危險中。

bein+n.表示“處于……狀態(tài)”。beinneed表示“處于所需要的狀態(tài)”。

bein+n.有時可以表示一個副詞的意思。如:beinsurprise=surprisedly。3.Everyoneshouldplay

a

part

insavingtheearth.人人都應(yīng)該參與拯救地球。playapartin...在……當(dāng)中扮演重要角色或發(fā)揮重要作用。如:?Heplayedanimportantpartinthisactivity.他在此次活動中扮演著重要的角色。

與part相關(guān)的短語還有:takepartin...參加……;partwith...放棄……。

表示“在……中發(fā)揮重要作用或?qū)Αa(chǎn)生影響”的短語還有:playarole

nice.Is

inThailand.——這枚戒指看起來很漂亮,它是銀制的嗎?——是的。并且是泰國制造

的。

bemadeof...用……制成(成品能看出原材料)Thedeskismadeofwood.這張桌子是用木頭制成的。bemadefrom...用……制成(成品看不出原材料)Paperismadeofwood.紙張是用木頭制成的。bemadein/at...在……地方被制成ThemobilephoneismadeinChina.這款手機是中國制造的。

與make相關(guān)的其他短語:makemistakes犯錯誤;makeupone'smindtodo下

定決心去做;makeprogress取得進步;makeplans制訂計劃;makeadecision做

決定;makeachoice做出選擇;makeanoise制造噪音。

除make以外,表示制作的單詞還有produce,produce更傾向于正式的規(guī)模生

產(chǎn)。如:?SilkismostlyproducedinJiangsuProvince.絲綢主要是在江蘇生產(chǎn)的。5....Americanscanhardlyavoid

buyingproductsmadeinChina.……美國人很難避免買到中國制造的產(chǎn)品。

avoidsth./doingsth.避免某事/做某事。如:?Hecheckedhispaperonceagaintoavoidanymistakes.他又一次檢查了試卷以避免錯誤。?Igotupearlytoavoidbeinglateforschool.我早早起床,以免上學(xué)遲到。

seen

asbrightsymbolsofhappinessandgoodwishes.它們被視為是幸福和美好祝愿的光明象征。

beseenas被視為……。如:?Dogsareseenasthebestfriendofhumanbeings.狗被視為是人類最好的朋友。

主動語態(tài)的see...as...表示“將……視為……”。如:?Iseehimasoneofmyfamily.我視他為我的家人之一。辨析look,see,read與watchlook是不及物動詞,強調(diào)“看”的動作,接賓語時,后加at;see強調(diào)“看”的結(jié)果,表示看見,可以直接加賓語;read通常用來表達看書、報、雜志、信等文字性內(nèi)容;watch意為“觀看,注視”,強調(diào)長時間觀看運動著的事物或影像。8.InEngland,teadidn'tappearuntilaround1660...在英國,茶直到大約1660年才出現(xiàn)……

until的同義詞為till,用法相似。9.ThetelephonewasinventedbyAlexanderGrahamBell.電話是由亞歷山大·格拉漢姆·貝爾發(fā)明的。

invent是及物動詞,意為“發(fā)明”,也是科技文體中常見的動詞。sb.inventsth.

意為“某人發(fā)明了某物”。如:?CarlBenzinventedthecar.卡爾·奔馳發(fā)明了汽車。inventorn.發(fā)明者inventionn.發(fā)明?EdisonisoneofthegreatestinventorsinAmericanhistory.愛迪生是美國歷史上最偉大的發(fā)明家之一。?Therehavebeenmanygreatinventionsinthetwenty-firstcentury.在21世紀已有很多偉大的發(fā)明。

discover意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)”,discover的對象是一直存在的,未被人們認識或發(fā)現(xiàn)的

東西。invent意為“發(fā)明”,invent的對象是之前沒有的,被創(chuàng)造出來的。10.It

is

believed

thatthefirstbasketballgameinhistorywasplayedonDecember

21,1891.人們公認歷史上的第一場籃球賽是在1891年12月21日進行的。

Itisbelievedthat...意為“人們公認……”,后接賓語從句。如:?ItisbelievedthatInternethasgreatlychangedthewaywelive.人們公認互聯(lián)網(wǎng)很大程度上改變了我們生活的方式。與believe相關(guān)的短語還有:believein信任。如:?Friendsshouldbelieveinoneanother.朋友們應(yīng)該彼此信任。

采用被動語態(tài)表達的短語還有:Itissaidthat...據(jù)說……;Itisknownthat...人們

都知道……。一、英語學(xué)科素養(yǎng)隨著科學(xué)技術(shù)的發(fā)展,科技英語已經(jīng)深入到我們生活中的很多方面。我

省在中考試題中也多次采用科技題材類文章。科技英語無論在語法結(jié)構(gòu)還

是詞匯方面都形成了它特有的習(xí)慣用法、特點和規(guī)律?？萍加⒄Z除了具有

和普通英語相同的共性之外,又具有其個性?？萍颊Z言的總的要求是以最少

的文字符號準(zhǔn)確地表達、傳遞最大的信息量。為此,語言精練、結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊就

成了科技語言的突出特征。由于科技文章反映科學(xué)家的思考和工作方法。科技英語的特點包括:針對性(文章緊扣主題)、簡潔性(結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊,用詞簡潔明寫話題·文優(yōu)了)、連貫性(術(shù)語數(shù)字的引證具有前后一致性)、精確性、合理安排(科技文

章中表達的信息、觀點和思想要符合邏輯順序)、直觀手段(科技文章常附

有各種表格、圖表、公式和符號來說明或論證問題,無需用文字再說明)等?；谏鲜鎏攸c,掌握科技類英語文本的閱讀有助于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生縝密分析、謹慎

邏輯、規(guī)范表達語言的思維習(xí)慣。二、表達交流共享(一)中考書面表達命題分析

話題類型

科技類話題作文在全國的中考試題中出現(xiàn)的頻度較小。主要涉及以下三類:1.科技產(chǎn)品特征、用途的表達2.科技產(chǎn)品對于生活影響的表達3.科技產(chǎn)品未來走勢的常用表達(命題示例)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)明雖然時間不長,但是已經(jīng)改變了我們的生活方式。你
