二、语法和从句分析
1. 形容词比较级 more ... than:““fall” is more common in American English.”“babies born in fall are a little more likely to live to 100 than those born in other seasons.”多音节形容词比较级用 more + 原级,常与 than 连用。
2. when 引导时间状语从句:“When we talk about the time between summer and winter, we can also use the word “autumn”.”中 when 表示“当……时”。
3. from ... to ... 结构:“From colourful parks to tasty food”表示“从……到……”,连接两个并列的名词短语。
4. be born in 出生于:“babies born in fall”“those born in other seasons”中 be born in + 时间/地点,born 为过去分词。
5. 一般现在时第三人称单数:“The word “fall” comes from…”“The equinox usually falls on September…”“fall brings apples…”中主语为第三人称单数,动词加 -s/-es。
6. 情态动词 can / may:“we can also use the word “autumn””中 can 表示“可以、能够”;阅读第13题 D 项 “People born in fall may live a bit longer” 中 may 表示“可能”。
7. 一般将来时 will:“In the year 2303, it will be on September 24th.”中 will + 动词原形 表示将来。
8. 祈使句:“Let’s read!”“Mark your calendar!”为祈使句,以动词原形开头,表示建议或号召。
9. 过去分词作后置定语:“babies born in fall”“Both words were used in Britain”中过去分词 born、used 作定语/被动成分。
