passage.

把下列句子排好顺序组成一篇短文。

2. My parents were completely shocked! completely adv. 彻底地，完全地

e.g. I understand completely. 我完全明白。 shocked adj. 惊愕的；受震惊的

e.g. She was so shocked that she could hardly say a word.

她大为震惊，几乎一句话也说不出来。

[即学即练] 翻译下列句子。

1) 看到邻居那样对待孩子我很惊愕。 2) 他对她抽烟感到很震惊。

3. My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.

in silence 沉默，无声

without speaking or making a sound; silently e.g. Many patients were waiting in silence. 许多病人在静静地等候着。

A hundred and fifty reporters sat in silence. 在场的150名记者静静地坐在那里。 4. I didn’t believe him at first.

at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用（在句中用作状语）。 at first主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此常有 but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。 e.g. At first we used hand tools. 首先我们使用手工工具。

At first I didn’t want to go, but soon I changed my mind. 我开始不想去，但我很快就改变了主意。

Unit 6 An old man tried to move the mountains.

第一课时

Section A (I)

一 自主学习 1.（1）预习Page41 页词汇（2）能熟练运用描绘身体部位的词汇。 （3）学生明确学习目标

（4）质疑释疑1.An old man tried to move the mountains.

try是动词，意为“试图，设法” 如：我正设法算出这道数学题。 动词try还表示“试”、“尝试”，“试用” 你试过种药了吗？

拓展：try搭配的词组：try to do sth设法做某事；try on试穿；try out尝试，实验；try one’s best尽全力；have a try试一下。

随手练：⑴明天我将尽量早来。 ⑵他还没有试穿过这件毛衣。 ⑶我们的老师总是尝试一些新的想法。 ⑷Lucy将尽力赶上其他同学。 ⑸让我试一下。

2与how 有关的短语：how big多大、how far多远、 how soon多久、how long 多长、how often多少一次、how wide 多宽、how many\\much多少 ⑴这条街多宽？ ⑵你妈妈多久回来？ ⑶从车站到超市多远？

3. In 1972, it was discovered that they are endangered. 1972年，人们发现它们已经濒于灭绝。

was discovered是一般过去时的被动语态，discover“发现”，近义词为find和invent。 【友情链接】discover, invent与find

◎discover指发现过去所不知道的东西，新奇或意外的东西。

Coal was first discovered and used in China. 中国首先发现并使用了煤。

Columbus discovered America on the 12th of October, 1492. 1492年10月12日，哥伦布发现了美洲。

◎invent意为“发明”，即创造出以前从未存在过的东西。 Edison invented the electric lamp.爱迪生发明了电灯。

Radio had just been invented then.那时无线电刚刚发明出来。

◎find意为“找到”，侧重于找到过去丢失的人或物，但有时也表示凭经验或偶然发现了一种东西。

Today, corn is found all over the world.今天，全世界都有了玉米。 She found him a very good pupil.她发现他是个非常好的学生。 ◎有时find和discover可以互相替代，意思相同。

His notebook was found/discovered in the desk. 他的笔记本是在课桌里找到的。 4.Some of the swamps have become polluted. 一些沼泽地受到了污染。

have become polluted 中的become是连系动词，polluted是过去分词。这种“系动词+过去分词”结构，意思上也接近被动语态。
