Get the students to discuss the “What’s the feature of a good ad?” according to their knowledge. The students are divided into groups of four, and they are told to form a collective opinion of the group. Pick out some students to report to the class their result of their discussion.

Main idea:

Para 1: the functions of advertising;

Para 2: the ways of advertising;

Paras 3-5: the making of advertising.

Step 6. Language points

1. Go hand in hand with: develop together, side by side.

hand in hand意为“手牵手,携手,共同地”。例如:

They walked away hand in hand. 他们手拉手走开了。

War and misery go hand in hand. 战争与苦难永不分开。

▲hand构成的介词短语还有:

1)at hand在近处,在手边。如:

The examinations are at hand. 考试即将举行。

2)by hand手工做的。如:

The clothes are made by hand. 这种布是手工做的。

3)in hand在处理或处事中,在控制下。如:

I have 1000 yuan at hand. 我手头还有1000元。

The work is in hand, but not finished. 这工作在进行中,但没完成。

4)out of hand难控制,无纪律,无法约束。如:

The children have got out of hand. 孩子们变得难以管教了。

5)hand up举起手来,举手。如:

Hands up, or I shoot. 举起手来,不然我要开枪了。

6)give a hand帮一下忙,give sb. a big hand向某人鼓掌。如:

I'm willing to give a hand at preparing the meal. 我愿帮忙做饭。

Let's give the young singer a great/big hand. 让我们鼓掌欢迎青年歌手。

【注意】英语中类似的短语有:face-to-face(面对面),mouth-to-mouth(口对口),arm in arm(臂挽臂),shoulder by shoulder(肩并肩)等。例如:

We'd better have a face-to-face interview with the famous scientist.

我们最好能当面会见一下那位著名的科学家。

The best thing to start his breathing is to use the mouth-to-mouth way.

使他呼吸的最好的做法就是采用口对口的办法。

2. Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement,…出席会议的还有厂告的策划者……

此句是倒装句,正常语序应为:A person who thinks up an idea and a person who will buy space in newspapers or time on TV will also be present at the meeting.这样行文显得头重脚轻,所以把谓语提前。

think up 想出。又如:

It is very difficult to do this, but I'll think up a plan. 做此事很难,但我会想出计划。

I wish I could think up some ways of convincing them of their mistakes.

我但愿自己能想出使他们相信自己有错的方法。

▲think out表示“精心想出,想清楚”(consider carefully and make a plan for)。如:

We should do nothing until we have thought out a plan. 想出一个方案之前,先别干。

【注意】think over也有“仔细思考”之意,它与 think up和 think out不同,前者只着重于思考,不涉及结果,即只说明主语作了思考,而后者着重于表示结果,即是否想出了办法、计划等。试比较下列句子,体会这些词组的差别:

We have thought carefully over your proposal of yesterday. 仔细考虑你昨天的建议。

Who can think out the solution to the problem? 谁能想出这问题的答案?

Delighted, the girls thought up many good ideas. 姑娘们一高兴,想出很多好主意。

He would have to think up some good names for these designs. 想出些更好的名字。

See the Revision book on Page 177 (②)

4. try out试用,试验。例如:

The idea seems good but it needs to be tried out.想法似乎很好,但是必须经过试验。

John was tried out in the marketing section before a decision was made about his future. 约翰先在销售部试用,然后才决定是否被录用。

The film studio wants to try out several of the new singers for the part.

电影制片厂要让几名新歌手先试一下这个角色。

▲try out与for连用时,有“参加……选拔”之意。例如:

Over fifty boys came to try out for the football team.

五十多个男孩来竞争参加足球队。

Wilma and her college teammates also tried out for the relay race.

威尔玛和她的大学同学还参加了接力赛的选拔赛。

(See revision book, Page 177 ③)

5. Isn't it time you made someone's life a bit easier? 你难道不早该让某些人的生活过得轻松些了吗?

“It's time+(that)+主语+动词过去式”意思是“早该是做……的时候了”。句型中的谓语动词用过去式,是虚拟语气的一种用法。如:

It's time you gave a reply to us. 是你该给我们回复的时候了。

It's time we ordered dinner. 是我们定购晚餐的时候了。

And I think it's time they were taught a lesson. 该给他们教训的时候了。

I said that it was time we were setting out. 该我们动身的时候了。

▲It+is/was time 后面还可接 for+n. 或动词不定式。如:

His talk was over; it was time for him to be off. 他的讲话结束了。他该走了。

It is nearly time for breakfast. 是将近吃早饭的时候了。

▲It+is/was high time+that-clause意为现在是必须做某事的时候了,不能再等待了。John's suit was old and it was high time that he bought a new one.

约翰的衣服旧了,他早该买套新衣服了。

I think it is high time that Mr Li made up his mind. 我觉得李先生必须下决心。

5. DEPT.(department)部;CORP.(corporation)公司;P.O.BOX(post office box)邮政信箱。

缩略语常用于广告、路标中,以节省空间。又如:St.(street)街,mtn.(mountain)

Homework

(3) Writing: See Step 5.

过去分词的句法作用

1.作定语

过去分词作定语一般放在所修饰的名词前,过去分词短语作定语一般放在所修饰的名词后,相当于一个(从句谓语为被动语态的)定语从句。如:

Written English is different from spoken English. 书面英语和口头英语不同。

Did you see the little boy dressed in a blue jacket? 你看见那穿蓝色夹克衫的男孩吗?(=Did you see the little boy who was dressed in a blue jacket?)

▲过去分词作定语一般表示被动的行为;有几个不及物动词的过去分词作定语时,只有完成的意义而没有被动的意义。而动词的-ing形式作定语表示主动的、正在进行的动作。如:

There is boiled water in the bottle. 瓶里有煮沸的水。

试比较: Boiling water is not fit to drink. 正在沸腾的水不宜饮用。

▲过去分词(短语)作定语,表示的动作或者在谓语所表示的动作之前发生,或是没有一定的时间性。如:

The letter posted today will probably reach him tomorrow.

今天寄出的信或许明天他能收到。

I hate to look through exercises written in pencil. 我讨厌看铅笔写的作业。

▲如果指的动作此刻正在发生,或与谓语动作同时发生,可以用现在分词的被动形式作定语。如果指的是未来动作,可以用动词不定式的被动形式作定语。如:

The problem being discussed is of much importance. 正在讨论的问题很重要。

You are invited to a party to be given at 7:00 p. m. Dec. 5. 请你参加将于十二月五日晚上七点举行的晚会。

2.作表语

过去分词作表语表示主语的特征或状态,不表示主语的动作,不要把它和被动语态相混淆。系表结构表示主语的特点或所处状态,用一般时态较多,有时用完成时态,而被动语态的时态要和相应主动语态一致,表示的是一个动作。如:

They both got married. 他俩都已结婚。(系表结构)

We put some water into a bottle and did tests to see if it was polluted.

我们把水装入瓶子,检验水是否被污染了。

▲某些表示心理感觉的动词如 interest,excite,move,surprise,please,satisfy,worry,astonish,disappoint,delight等过去分词作表语表示处于某种感觉,而现在分词作表语表示使人产生某种感觉。如:

I am interested in travelling , but I'm often tired after/when I'm back from my travels. 我对旅行有兴趣,但旅行后常感疲劳。(试比较:Travelling is interesting but tiring. 旅行有趣,但令人疲劳。)

3.作宾语补足语

过去分词作宾语补足语,多用在感觉动词see,hear,watch,find,notice,feel等以及使役动词make,keep,get,have等后面,宾语是过去分词表示的动作的对象,而动词-ing形式作宾语补足语时,宾语是动词-ing形式表示的动作的逻辑主语。如:

We heard the English song sung in the next room. 我们听见有人在隔壁房间唱那首英语歌曲。

Can you make yourself understood in English? 你用英语能使别人理解吗?

▲have/get+n. /pron. +过去分词有三种不同含义。

(1)表示请、让、叫别人为自己做某事,强调主语的意志,其中have/get要重读。

You must go and get that tooth filled.(=You must go and ask the dentist to fill that tooth. )你得去补牙。

(2)表示遭遇某种不快的事情,此时过去分词要重读。如:

She had her house damaged in the storm. (=Something had happened to her house in the storm. )他的房屋在风暴中遭到破坏。

(3)表示使完成某事,此事可以是别人完成的,也可以是自己完成的。此时过去分词要重读。如:

They are working hard to get autumn sowing done well.

他们努力使秋种进行顺利。

4.作状语

过去分词(短语)作状语修饰谓语动词表示的动作,表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式或伴随状况,相当于相应的状语从句、并列谓语或并列句。如:

Compared with the developed countries, we still have a long way to go. (=If we are compared with the developed countries, we still have a long way to go.)

和发达国家相比,我们还有很大差距。

Absorbed in the work, he neglected food and sleep. (=He was absorbed in the work and neglected food and sleep. )他专心于工作,废寝忘食。

典型例题分析

例1  单项选择:

Now I think it's time you ______ to bed.

A.go B.will go C.must go D.went

分析  此题的正确答案是D(went),句型It is time sb. did sth. 中谓语动词用过去式,意为是某人做某事的时候了,实际上是“现在做某事”。如:

Now then, children. It's time you were washed and dressed. 孩子们,是你们洗脸和穿衣的时候了。

例2  单项选择:

He ______ a suggestion or two when he read a report from his men.

A.used to making B.was used to make

C.would make D.will make

分析  此题的正确答案是C(would make),would +动词原形表示过去经常的习惯性行为,和used to +动词原形意义相近,但used to暗含现在已不如此。选项 A中 used to后接-ing形式不正确,应接动词原形;选项B中was used to后接动词原形也不正确,应用 was used to+n. /pron. /-ing形式,选项D中用will与句中时间关系不合。如:

Often he would take a seat at the pack. 过去他总是坐在后面一个座位上。

例3  单项选择:

Well ______ for his expert advice, he was able to help a great number of people with their affairs.

A.know B.known C.knowing D.knew

分析  此题的正确答案是B(known),过去分词(短语)作状语表示原因,其逻辑主语同句子主语,过去分词短语Well known for his expert advice相当于状语从句 As he was well known for his expert advice. 其他几个选项都不合题意。如:

Encouraged by the leading cadres, they continued their experiment. 由于受到领导干部的鼓励,他们继续进行实验。

例4  单句改错:

The scientists tried on thousands of chemicals before they found the right one.

分析  此题中tried on应改为 tried out,短语动词try on意为“试穿(戴)”,宾语是“衣、帽、鞋”等。短语动词try out意为“试用,试验”,宾语是“某方法,某物”等,或“试试某人的能力”。如:

They are trying out a new teaching method. 他们正在试验新教学方法。

I shan't know until you try me out. 你试试我的能力后我才知道。

例5  单句改错:

Arriving at the station, we found the train going.

分析  此题中going应改为gone,go的过去分词形式gone作宾语补足语或表语,意为“不在”,“走了”,“没有了”等。如:

When she found him gone and a note left for her,she knew it was up with him. 她发现他走了只留下一张便条,知道他俩关系结束了。

Now that he was really gone, she felt sorry. 既然他真的走了,她感到很遗憾。

高考真题选讲

题1  The Olympic Games, ______ in 776 BC, did not include women until 1912. (97年高考题)

A.first playing B.to be first played C.first played D.to be first playing

分析  本题考查非谓语动词的用法。

经过分析得知 the Olympic Games与play之间是被动关系,故排除A项和D项。B项是不定式的被动式,表示“未来”的被动动作,故也排除。因此C项是正确答案,它相当于一个非限制性定语从句 which was first played. 案选C。

题2  When I got back home I saw a message pinned to the door____“sorry to miss you; will call later. ”(99年高考题)

A.reed B.reads C.to read D.reading

分析  答案选D。本题考查现在分词作宾语补足语,与其前的宾语构成复合宾语。句中pinned to the door是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰 message。类似表感觉的动词如:find, hear, listen to, watch, notice等。例如:

I saw the pretty girl dancing in the park.

He suddenly felt the house shaking
