《新概念英语》学什么：第2册53课

接下去我们来看第54课的内容：

一、小编的朗读

二、重要句型或语法

1、冠词

本课继续学习冠词的用法。本课侧重的是定冠词the的用法：

1）定冠词+形容词，表示一类人或物；

2）“定冠词+名词”与不加定冠词的区别；

3）定冠词+最高级。如：

The rich should help the poor.
The school in our village was built last year.
The children went to school early this morning.
It is the most interesting exhibition I have ever seen.

2、some与any

本课侧重的是some与any修饰不可数名词时的用法，主要对比的是一般疑问句和肯定句中的用法。如：

Did you do any work yesterday? I did some work before breakfast.

三、课文主要语言点

After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to the shops.	1）注意对比sent the children to school（school前不用任何冠词）和went to the shops（shops前加了定冠词）的区别。 2）send sb. to somwhere，送某人去某处。 3）go to the shops，固定短语，去购物。
It was still early when I returned home.	注意home的短语用法，大多数情况下，home作为副词，所以前面都不接介词，如go home、arrive home、come home等。例外情况有：stay at home、be at home。
The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some meat pies.	1）注意本句话采用排比句式，都是主系表结构，具有一定的强调效果。 2）be at school，上学。be at work，工作。注意school和work前面都不加任何冠词。 3）quiet，安静的。注意拼写，不要跟quite（非常，很）混淆了。 4）decide to do sth.，决定、决心做某事。
In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry.	1）in a short time，很快。注意“in+一段时间”一般都表示将来时间。 2）be busy doing，忙于做某事。 3）be covered with，覆盖着、满是。 4）sticky，粘的。源自动词stick（附着）。
At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying.	1）at exactly that moment，就在那时。exactly，正是、就是。 2）注意比较级的否定结构其实表达的是最高级。本句话Nothing could have been more annoying可以作为常用句型来用。当我们要表达对过去事情的性质评论时，就可以用Nothing could have been more ...来表达。 3）annoying，令人恼火的。源自动词annoy（使恼火）。
I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates.	1）pick up，拿起。注意该短语还可以表达“养成；习得；用车载”等意思。 2）receiver，听筒。 3）dismayed，感到沮丧的、失望的。 4）recognize，意识到、辨认出。注意该词的重音在第一个音节。
It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver.	1）It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.，某人花了多少时间做某事。注意对比take、pay、cost和spend的用法差异。 2）persuade sb. to do sth.，劝某人做某事。 3）ring back，再打电话。 4）at last，最后。在本句中，作者用at last表达出了当时她终于得以挂断电话的舒畅心情。 5）hang up the receiver，挂断电话。
What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs.	1）What a mess!，感叹句，意思为“多乱啊！）。相当于How messy! 2）doorknob，球形门把手。
I had no sooner got back to hte kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead.	1）no sooner...than...，一...就...。注意该句型一般都用来描述过去发生的事情，no sooner所在的主句动作采用过去完成时，而than引导的从句动作则采用一般过去时。该句型相当于hardly...when...。 2）loud enough to wake the dead，响声足以把死人吵醒。可作为固定句型，用来表达声音之大。
This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!	1）it was the postman：当我们不知道对方是谁的时候，经常用it来指代。 2）sign for sth.，签收某物。 3）a registered letter，挂号信。
