【拋磚引玉】
同學(xué)們，你們讀過(guò)美國(guó)海洋生物學(xué)家萊切爾•卡遜的著作《寂靜的春天》（1962年）嗎 ？書(shū)中為我們描述的一個(gè)明天的寓言。從前，在美國(guó)的中部有這樣一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)，那里的一切生物同其周圍的環(huán)境看來(lái)相處得非常和諧：它坐落在像棋盤般排列整齊的繁榮的農(nóng)場(chǎng)的中央，周圍是莊稼地，小山下果樹(shù)成林。春天，繁花點(diǎn)綴在綠色的原野上；秋天，透過(guò)松林的屏風(fēng)，橡樹(shù)、楓樹(shù)和白樺樹(shù)散射出火焰般的彩色光輝；冬天，道路兩旁也是美麗的，無(wú)數(shù)的小鳥(niǎo)飛來(lái)，潔凈而清涼的小溪從山中流出，形成了生活著鱒魚(yú)的綠蔭池塘。
小鎮(zhèn)一直是這個(gè)樣，直到許多年前的一天，第一批居民來(lái)到這里修建房屋，挖井筑倉(cāng)，情況才發(fā)生了變化。從那時(shí)起，一個(gè)奇怪的陰影就籠罩了這個(gè)地區(qū)，一切都發(fā)生了變化，不祥的征兆降臨到村落里：神秘莫測(cè)的疾病襲擊了成群的小雞，牛羊紛紛病倒和死亡，到處是死神的幽靈。農(nóng)夫們?cè)V說(shuō)著他們多病的家庭，醫(yī)生們則為病人中出現(xiàn)的新病感到困惑不解。
一種奇怪的寂靜籠罩了這個(gè)地方。園中覓食的鳥(niǎo)兒不見(jiàn)了，曾經(jīng)蕩漾著烏鴉、鴿子、鷦鷯的合唱以及其它鳥(niǎo)鳴的聲浪的早晨，現(xiàn)在一切聲音都沒(méi)有了，只有一片寂靜覆蓋著田野、樹(shù)林和沼地。曾經(jīng)是多么吸引人的小路的兩旁，現(xiàn)在排列著仿佛是火災(zāi)浩劫后的焦黃的枯萎的植物。甚至小溪也失去了生命，因?yàn)樗�有的魚(yú)已經(jīng)死亡。這里已被生命所拋棄，留下來(lái)的只是一個(gè)寂靜的春天，無(wú)聲無(wú)息……
卡遜大膽地預(yù)言：“在人們的忽視中，一個(gè)狼狽猙獰的幽靈已向我們襲來(lái)，這個(gè)現(xiàn)象中的悲劇可能會(huì)很容易地變成一個(gè)我們大家都將知道的活生生的現(xiàn)實(shí)�！�30 多年過(guò)去了，卡遜“明天的寓言”卻不幸成為了今天的現(xiàn)實(shí)：以環(huán)污染、資源枯竭、能源危機(jī)、糧食短缺、人口爆炸、生物多樣性喪失以及技術(shù)危機(jī)等為表現(xiàn)形式的生態(tài)危機(jī)，這一切都在不斷加劇，使人類的生存和發(fā)展陷入了嚴(yán)峻的困境之中。人類在合理性地維系自身的生存和發(fā)展的同時(shí)，有陷入了理性和意志的無(wú)限擴(kuò)張所鑄就的“鐵籠”之中，人與自然關(guān)系的嚴(yán)重矛盾和沖突已經(jīng)達(dá)到一個(gè)令人深以為憂的危險(xiǎn)之界。
《呂氏春秋》中有：“竭澤而漁，豈不獲得？而明年無(wú)魚(yú)；焚而田，豈不獲得？而明年無(wú)獸�！边@些話是我們祖先維護(hù)自身生存和發(fā)展的基本價(jià)值觀念和行動(dòng)規(guī)范，體現(xiàn)了人類在環(huán)境保護(hù)和資源利用方面的一種樸素的、自覺(jué)的理性，代表了人類可持續(xù)發(fā)展觀念的源起。
《只有一個(gè)地球》的前言中指出：“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，當(dāng)前大多數(shù)的環(huán)境問(wèn)題，都是來(lái)自人類對(duì)生態(tài)的錯(cuò)誤行動(dòng)�！�…我們把征服自然看作是人類的進(jìn)步，這就意味著常因我們的錯(cuò)誤認(rèn)識(shí)而破壞了自然界。盡管作為物種之一的人類，在破壞和污染了自然界之后仍能生存下去，但是在這樣污穢的環(huán)境里，人類還能長(zhǎng)期保持他的尊嚴(yán)嗎？”
因此，通過(guò)本單元的學(xué)習(xí)，同學(xué)們要深刻認(rèn)識(shí)到愛(ài)護(hù)人類共同享有的生物圈的重要性，充分了解環(huán)境污染的危害性和保護(hù)環(huán)境的重要性。
另外，通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法中的過(guò)去分詞作表語(yǔ)和定語(yǔ)，可以更好地表達(dá)自己的思想，形象地描繪事物的景象。如：He was tired . (他累得精疲力竭。) 這里的 tired 就是過(guò)去分詞作表語(yǔ)，說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)。
【指點(diǎn)迷津】
A. 大綱規(guī)定的單元日常核心交際用語(yǔ)指南
Agreement & Supposition (同意與推測(cè))
同意和不同意是肯定和否定的另一種形式，但表達(dá)的不是某個(gè)事實(shí)的正確與否，而是對(duì)它的判斷和意見(jiàn)。英語(yǔ)中表示同意時(shí)盡可采用熱情而強(qiáng)烈的口氣，都不會(huì)過(guò)分。但如果對(duì)一令人不愉快的意見(jiàn)表示同意時(shí)，可能加上一些表示遺憾之類的詞語(yǔ)更為合適。
對(duì)某件事的真實(shí)性是否有把握，可以用委婉的語(yǔ)氣進(jìn)行推測(cè)。

單元易錯(cuò)用的熟詞釋疑
● POPULATION 能用復(fù)數(shù)嗎？
在 Lesson 34 課文第一段中有這樣一句：Many parts of the world , which once had large populations and produced plenty of crops , have become deserts . 這里的 population 為什么使用復(fù)數(shù)？
【釋疑】
◆ population 多用單數(shù)，指某國(guó)家或地區(qū)的人口。如果用復(fù)數(shù)，指世界不同地區(qū)的人口。例如：
Many parts of the world , which once had large populations and produced plenty of crops , have become deserts . 世界上許多地區(qū)曾經(jīng)人口眾多，五谷豐登，而今卻成了沙漠。
According to the latest census , China\'s population has increased . 根據(jù)最近的調(diào)查，中國(guó)的人口增加了。
◆ population 直接作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)形式指住在某地區(qū)的全體居民，為不可數(shù)名詞，但前面有 some , most 特別是分?jǐn)?shù)或者百分?jǐn)?shù)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞常用復(fù)數(shù)。例如：
The population in these villages has to get its water from wells . 住在這個(gè)村子里的人必須自井中汲水。
The population of the city rose by 20% . 這個(gè)城市的人口增長(zhǎng)了 20 % 。

In the south most of the population live on rice . 在南方，絕大多數(shù)人以大米為食。
◆ 問(wèn)“人口多少”用 ：what 或者 how large 。不用 how many 和 how much 等詞。說(shuō)人口多用 large或者 great , 說(shuō)人口少用small 。例如：
?What\'s the population of China ? 中國(guó)的人口是多少 ？
?China has a large population . 中國(guó)人口眾多。
The population of Japan is smaller than that of US . 日本的人口比美國(guó)的少。（注意對(duì)比中的 that 不要省略）

Do you know what the population of Africa is ? = Do you know how large / great the population of Africa is ? 你知道非洲的人口是多少嗎 ？
That country has a small population . 那個(gè)國(guó)家人口稀少。
What\'s the population of the world ? 全世界有多少人口 ？
This village has a population of about 1,500 .
◆ 在表達(dá)某地有多少人口時(shí)可以用：
地點(diǎn) + has a population of + 數(shù)詞 （+ people ）
The population of + 某地 + be + 數(shù)詞 。
地點(diǎn) + with a population of + 數(shù)詞
那個(gè)國(guó)家有 5，000 萬(wàn)人口。
China has a population of 1,2 billion . 中國(guó)有 12 億人口。
That country has a population of fifty million ( people ) .
The population of that country is fifty million .
The country is one with a population of fifty million people .
◆ 當(dāng) population 表示抽象意義時(shí)，不加冠詞。例如：
Since 1949 , the people\'s living standard has been raised , causing a big rise in population . 自從 1949 年以來(lái)，在中國(guó)，人民的生活水平得到了提高，導(dǎo)致人口有了很大增加。
● appear ，seem ，look “看來(lái)像”嗎 ？
appear , seem , look 看來(lái)很相似，均有“好象，看起來(lái)象”之意，在使用時(shí)應(yīng)從以下幾方面：
一、含義上的差異
appear 是指根據(jù)事物的外表表象做出判斷的，但實(shí)質(zhì)上并不一定如此；seem是表示說(shuō)話人主觀上的判斷，暗含有一定的根據(jù)，往往接近事實(shí)的判斷；look是根據(jù)視覺(jué)印象而得出的判斷，實(shí)質(zhì)上也可能如此。例如：
He has a small salary but he appears rich . 他工資很低卻顯得很富。(其實(shí)并非如此)
He seems rich . (I think he is rich .) 他看起來(lái)很富有。(根據(jù)個(gè)人的主觀判斷而推斷出)
He looks rich . 他很是富有。(從他花錢辦事的言行中可出感覺(jué)出)
二、用法上的差異
1. appear，look，seem 后均可帶名詞、形容語(yǔ)、to be 結(jié)構(gòu)。
He appeared / seemed / looked an honest man . 看來(lái)他是一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的人。
He appeared (to be) sad when he heard the bad news . 當(dāng)他聽(tīng)到這個(gè)壞消息時(shí)，似乎很悲傷。
注：在接 to be 結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，to be常常被省略。例如：
The flowers seem (to be) more beautiful at this time . 此時(shí)，花兒好象更漂亮。
2. look 可用于進(jìn)行時(shí)，而 seem , appear 一般不能。如：
You\'re looking quite a different person . 你現(xiàn)在的樣子完全是另一個(gè)人了。
3. appear 和 seem 之后可接動(dòng)詞不定式的各種形式，而 look 之后除了能接to be 結(jié)構(gòu)外，不接其它動(dòng)詞不定式形式。
He appeared to be proud of himself . 他好象為自己而驕傲。
She doesn\'t seem to have been to Beijing . 她好象沒(méi)有去過(guò)北京。
He looks to be the best person for the job . 他看來(lái)是做這項(xiàng)工作最合適的人。
4. look , seem 能與介詞 like 構(gòu)成習(xí)語(yǔ)，意思是“看上去象”，而 appear 卻不能。例如：
It seems like years since I last saw you . 自從上次見(jiàn)到你后，好象很久沒(méi)有見(jiàn)到你了。
The new building looks like a hospital . 這座新建筑物看起來(lái)象一座醫(yī)院。
5. seem , look 后均可接 as if , as though 引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句，若表示不能實(shí)現(xiàn)的事實(shí)，則用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，而 appear 則不能。例如：
It seemed / looked as if it was going to rain . 看起來(lái)天快要下雨了。
It seems as if he were to start at once . 看來(lái)好象他馬上就要?jiǎng)由怼?
6. appear 和seem 均可接 that 引導(dǎo)的從句，而 look 不能。
It seems / appears that the book is too difficult for us . 這本書(shū)好象對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)太難了。
It seems that John will win the race . 好象約翰能跑第一。
7. appear 和 seem 可用于there be 結(jié)構(gòu)中，而 look 不能。如：There appeared / seemed nothing to be done . 大家似乎覺(jué)得沒(méi)有辦法了。
There appears to have been an accident . 好象出了一次事故。
● do with 與 deal with 用法辨析
do with 與 deal with 都可作“處置”講的。do with 常與連接代詞 what 連用，而 deal with 常與連接副詞 how 連用，如：
1 . I don\'t know how they deal with the problem . (= I don\'t know what they do with the problem . )我不知道他們?nèi)绾翁幚磉@個(gè)問(wèn)題。
2 . He is easy to deal with . (= He is easy to do with . 這時(shí)“do”是不及物動(dòng)詞)他是容易相處的人。這兩個(gè)詞組在使用時(shí)有細(xì)微的差別。一般地說(shuō)，do with 表示“處置”、“忍受”、“相處”、“有關(guān)”等。如：
1 . They found a way to do with the elephant . 他們找到對(duì)付那頭大象的辦法了。
2 . We can\'t do with such carelessness . 我們不能容忍這種粗枝大葉的作風(fēng)。
3 . We are difficult to do with the new comer . 我們很難與新來(lái)的那個(gè)人相處。
4 . I have nothing to do with him . 我跟他無(wú)任何關(guān)系。
deal with 意義很廣，常表示“對(duì)付”、“應(yīng)付”、“處理”、“安排”、“論述”、“涉及”等。如：
1 . They could properly deal with all kinds of situations . 他能恰當(dāng)?shù)貞?yīng)付各種局面。
2 . Deal with a man as he deals with you . 以其人之道，還治其人之身。
3 . This is a book dealing with Asian problems . 這是一本論述亞洲問(wèn)題的書(shū)。
4 . They have learned to deal with various persons . 他們學(xué)會(huì)了和各種人打交道。
● more 的左鄰右舍
含 more 的短語(yǔ)形式五花八門，常令人混淆不清。下面把它分解為左鄰(即左邊加詞語(yǔ))，右舍(右邊加詞語(yǔ))和左右逢源(即左右兩邊加詞語(yǔ))三種情況。
1. 左鄰
◇ all the more 越發(fā)，更加。如：
She loves him all the more for his poverty . 她因他的貧困反而越發(fā)愛(ài)他了。
◇ no more 不再，如：
I saw her no more after that . 那以后我不再見(jiàn)到她了。
◇ (not)…any more 再。如：
I shall not do that any more . 我再不做那種事了。
◇ or more 或者更多。如：
Ten people or more were killed in the accident . 在這次車禍中死了十個(gè)人或者更多。
◇ once more 再一次(= once again) 。 如：
Please say that word once more . 請(qǐng)把那個(gè)單詞再說(shuō)一遍。
◇ many more 多得多的，常用于修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞。如：
The first truck carries many more apples than the second one . 第一輛卡車運(yùn)的蘋果比第二輛運(yùn)的多得多。
◇ much more 多得多的，修飾不可數(shù)名詞；多得多(……得多)，修飾多音節(jié)形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí)。如：
There is much more water in this glass than in that one . 這個(gè)玻璃杯的水比那個(gè)玻璃杯的水多得多。
His illness was much more serious than we first thought . 他的病比我們最初想象的要嚴(yán)重得多。
◇ (and) what is more 而且，加之，常用作插入語(yǔ)。如：
Tom is a good husband to his wife and , what is more , a good father to his children . 湯姆是一個(gè)好丈夫，而且還是個(gè)好爸爸。
◇ the more…the more… 越 …… 越 …… 。如：
The more learned a man is , the more modest he usually is . 一個(gè)人越是有學(xué)問(wèn)，就往往越是謙虛。
◇ the more…the less… 越…… 越不…… 。如：
The more you learn , the less you will feel you know . 你越學(xué)就越感到自己學(xué)識(shí)不夠。
2. 右舍
◇ more and more 越來(lái)越多的，修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞；越來(lái)越……，修飾多音節(jié)形容詞或副詞比較級(jí)。如：
More and more people are going abroad to study . 越來(lái)越多的人出國(guó)留學(xué)。

◇ more or less 或多或少，差不多。如：
The crops will feel the effect of the drought more or less according to the quality of the soil . 作物按照土壤的性質(zhì)，或多或少會(huì)受到旱災(zāi)的影響。
◇ more than 多于，大于，不只是。如：
China Daily is more than a newspaper . 中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)不只是一種報(bào)紙。
The TV set is made up of more than one hundred different parts . 電視機(jī)是由一百多個(gè)不同的部件組成的。
◇ more than one 不止一個(gè) 。 如：
More than one person made the suggestion . 不止一個(gè)人提出那個(gè)建議。
◇ more than once 不止一次。如：
I found him smoking and drinking more than once . 我不止一次地發(fā)現(xiàn)他抽煙、喝酒。
3. 左右逢源
◇ no more…than… 不是……如同……是……一樣(二者都不……)。如：
I am no more mad than you are . 你沒(méi)有瘋，我也沒(méi)有瘋。
◇ no more than 不過(guò)，僅僅。如：
We had walked no more than ten miles when night closed in again . 我們走了不過(guò)十英里，天就又黑了。
◇ not more than 不多于，至多。如：
There are not more than five people in the office . 辦公室里的人不超過(guò)五個(gè)。
◇ not more…than 不比……更…… 。如：
He is not more a statesman than a politician . 與其說(shuō)他是個(gè)政治家，倒不如說(shuō)他是個(gè)政客。
●話說(shuō) marry
1 . 表示“結(jié)婚”行為
marry 作形為動(dòng)詞時(shí)要注意下面幾點(diǎn)：
1) 不可與“for + 一段時(shí)間”的完成時(shí)態(tài)連用。如：
誤：He has married for a year . 他結(jié)婚已經(jīng)一年。
正：He married (got married) a year ago .
正：It is a year since he married (got married) .
正：He has been married for a year .
2) 表示“同某人結(jié)婚”時(shí)不可與介詞 with 或 to 連用。但可用 be (get) married to sb . ，如：
誤：He married with (to) Mary last year . 他是去年同瑪麗結(jié)婚的。
正：He married Mary last year .
正：He got married to Mary last year .
3) 表示“嫁給某人或娶某人”要用 marry sb . ，如：
Mathild married Pier . 瑪?shù)贍柕录藿o了皮埃爾。
Who(m) did the handsome boy marry at last ? 那英俊小伙子最后娶了誰(shuí)為妻呢 ?
2. 表示“結(jié)婚”狀態(tài)
marry 表示狀態(tài)時(shí)要注意兩點(diǎn)：
1) 作不及物動(dòng)詞后面直接加副詞表示婚姻狀況。如：
Jean married very well . 珍妮喜結(jié)良緣。
All of their daughters married badly . 他們的女兒婚姻都很不幸。
2) 用 be married 表示婚姻狀況。如：
?Are you married ? 你結(jié)婚了嗎 ?
?Yes , I am . 是的，結(jié)婚了。
How long have you been married ? 你結(jié)婚多久了 ?
3. 表示“嫁出”、“證婚”
marry 還有兩個(gè)特殊意義，其主語(yǔ)與賓語(yǔ)的關(guān)系不是婚姻關(guān)系。要注意：
1) marry sb . 表示“嫁出……或使娶……”，后可接 to sb . ，如：
The greedy couple married their daughter to a cruel-hearted millionaire . 那對(duì)貪婪的夫婦把他們的女兒嫁給了一個(gè)狠心的百分富翁。
They decided to marry off all their daughters and sons before going abroad . 他們決定讓他們所有的兒女都成了家之后再出國(guó)。
2) marry sb . 表示“為某人證婚”。如：
Will you marry me and my husband ? 你愿意為我和我丈夫證婚嗎 ?
● entire、whole、total、complete 辨析
entire、whole、total、complete 這組詞作為形容詞都是指“全部的，完整的”，即絲毫沒(méi)有失去、損壞或省略的(事物) 。
entire 與 whole 在許多情況下可以通用。例如：
The people\'s government has the support of the entire(whole) population . 人民政府得到全民的支持。
whole 常用來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)某事物的完整性，即沒(méi)有任何部分被忽略或舍去叮當(dāng)于 every part. 在日常語(yǔ)言中，whole 遠(yuǎn)比 entire 用得多。例如：
One day the police even used their sticks during a peaceful march by blacks , and this was seen across the whole country on TV . (也可用 entire) 有一天，黑人在進(jìn)行和平進(jìn)軍的時(shí)候，警察使用了警棍，這個(gè)情景全國(guó)的電視上都看到了。
entire 可以修飾抽象名詞，whole 則不能。如：
This would destroy the entire peace of the Middle East .
這將會(huì)破壞整個(gè)中東和平。
total 與上面兩詞的主要不同在于它有較強(qiáng)烈的計(jì)算意味，強(qiáng)調(diào)總量，意為“全部的”，“總計(jì)的”，實(shí)際上就是對(duì)現(xiàn)存的 whole 的大小作精確的估計(jì)。如：
By the end of the year , the total money collected had come to over 92 million dollars , all of which were sent to Africa .
到年底為止，籌集到的全部款項(xiàng)達(dá)到9200多萬(wàn)美元。所有這些錢全部送往非洲了。
complete 強(qiáng)調(diào)所有需要的或正確的部分都存在。
相比之下，它的意思是完成了的或完善的，指所有指標(biāo)的兌現(xiàn)或目的的實(shí)現(xiàn)。如：
The work is now complete ; we can have a holiday .
工作現(xiàn)在完成了；我們可以去度假了。
The total number of tourists chosen so far is forty-eight , but the tourist party is not yet complete .
到目前為止挑選的旅游者的總數(shù)是48人，可是這旅游團(tuán)還未滿員。
綜上所述，除 whole 以外，當(dāng)描寫(xiě)毫無(wú)例外和毫無(wú)保留的包羅全體的抽象概念時(shí)，其他三詞都可換用。如：
I have entire (or total or complete) control of the project .
我對(duì)這項(xiàng)工程有完全的控制權(quán)。

Thomas Edison was a giant among inventors . He patented (獲專利權(quán)) over 1 ,000 inventions , including . the record player , moving picture and the first practical electric light . Largely home taught , Edison only went to school for three months. But at 17 he invented the telegraph system (系統(tǒng)) . This allowed four dot - dash messages to be sent down a wire at the same time , speeding up telegraph service greatly .
Though he made great achievements , he still worked up to 20 hours a day . In 1879 , he discovered that if electric current (電流) is passed through a thin thread of carbon (碳) in a glass vacuum (真空) , it becomes white hot , giving off a brilliant light . Then , for use of this electric light , he developed a complete electrical distribution system (配電系統(tǒng)) . In 1880 , he formed the Edison Electric Light Company . In 1882 , he built the Pearl Street Plant , and New York became the first city lit by electricity .

● Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison was awarded (授予) more patents on inventions than any other Americans . When he died in 1931 , Americans wondered hos they could best show their respect for him .
One suggestion was the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout (斷電) . All electric power would be shut off in homes , streets and factories .
