新概念英语1课

Lesson 78 The last one?After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette. For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times!Lesson 79 By AirI used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport.While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

在这本教材中，每两课课文——每课大约为1课时——被看成1个教学单元。学生学每课时大概用1小时。每个教学单元的前半部分有一篇按句型结构编排的情景对话或描述性文字，其中每课书介绍的新的语言内容被融进了上下文之中。课文用于训练学生的理解能力，以及学生说、读和运用渐进型句型的能力。每个教学单元的后半部分通常有几组有编号的插图，用于理解和口语练习。在可能的情况下，新词汇在学生口头掌握之后才见之于文字。在具有语境的课文中介绍的新的语言现象被单列出来，并进行反复练习。在这种口头练习之后有一小段笔头练习，用来巩固已经学到的技能。这本教材是完全独立的，足够一年使用。在课程结束后，学生应能较好掌握英语口语。凡打算继续深造的学生，可以接着学习以下各册。教学各册之间的内容相互“重叠”，学生继续学习不会感到困难。

Notes on the text课文注释

1 "I have just arrived in Scotland…a Youth Hostel”

这是一个直接引语的'例子。直接引语是英文中用书面语的形式来表示口语的方式，实际讲的话要放在引号之间，句尾的标点符号也要放在引号之内。

2 the Y.H.A.=the Youth Hostels Association

青年招待所协会。简称"青招协"。a Youth Hostel是一种为参加野外探险度假活动的青年人提供廉价住宿的招待所。这种青年招待所实行会员制，首先要加入“青招协”才有资格享受这种待遇。

3 speak up 大声地说。

4 Love, Jimmy.爱你的吉米。

Yours, Jimmy(你的，吉米)。这是朋友间通信时常用的结束语。

5 He doesn't say very much, does he?

这是英文中的反意疑问句，它是由两部分组成的，前面是一个陈述句，逗号之后是一个简略问句。反意疑问句可以用来确认自己的判断，获取真实的信息，还可以用来表示惊讶、愤怒等感情。如果前一部分陈述句是肯定形式，简略问句就要用否定形式;如果前一部分是否定形式，后一部分则用肯定形式。

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1. speak up，大声地说，清楚地说。

up作副词用时可表示强度等的由弱到强、由低到高：

Can you get up to that note ?

你能唱得到那么高的音吗?

2.He doesn't say very much，does he?他没写许多，是吗?

附加疑问句中的前后两部分的谓语在时态、人称和数上都要一致。回答这种问句时要简略，要根据事实回答。如果答语本身是肯定的，就用 Yes;如果答语本身是否定的，就用 No。

语法 Grammar in use

直接引语和间接引语

直接引语就是直接引用说话人原来所说的话;间接引语就是原话的转述。直接引语放在引号里，间接引语是把说话人的原话变成宾语从句。

间接引语中，宾语从句中的动词与主句中的主要动词在时态上必须保持一致。一般来说，主要动词用现在时，间接引语中可用现在时(包括一般现在时、现在进行时、现在完成时)和将来时。如：

She says she's got a headache.

她说她头痛。

He says he's staying at a Youth Hostel.

你说他正住在一家青年招待所。

He says he has sold his house.

他说他已卖掉了房子。

把直接陈述改为间接引语时，谓语动词形式的变化体现在人称上。如：

He says: ‘I hope you are all well. ’

他说:"我希望你们都身体健康。"

He says he hopes we/they are all well.

他说他希望我们/他们都身体健康。

The girl says: ‘I have finished my homework.’

那个姑娘说:"她已完成了家庭作业。"

The girl says that she has finished her homework.

那个姑娘说她已完成了家庭作业。
