2019-2020年八年级英语下册 Module 8 Public holidays课文详解及综合练习 外研版【同步教育信息】一. 本周教学内容：Module 8 Public Holidays二. 重点内容：时间状语从句三. 具体内容：课文详解1. When do most people take a vacation ? 大多数人什么时候去度假？take a vacation 意为“度假”。知识扩展：Holiday，vacation和leave的区别 这三个单词都可以译为“假期”。单数形式的holiday 可指一，两日的短期假期，较长期的常用复数形式holidays表示，但可用单数形式holiday; vacation 主要用于美国英语，既可以表示长时间的假期，也可指一两天的短假期。leave 主要指军人或官员的假期或病期，事假。例如：Mr Smith is on holiday at present. 目前史密斯先生正在度假。Where are you going for your vacation ? 你到哪里去度假？The soldiers are given two leaves each year. 士兵们一年可休两次假期。Do you have any plans for the May Day holiday, Betty ? 贝蒂，五一你有什么打算吗？2. Making plans for the New Year 为新年做计划 plan 既可以是名词也可以是动词，名词时表示“计划，规划，方案，”词组为 a plan/plans for sth/doing sth （的计划），make plans for sth （为某事订计划），动词为“计划，打算”，词组为plan sth/ for sth/ to do sth/ on sth （on doing sth ）。例如：Do you have any plans for the summer? 这个夏天你有什么打算？We need to make plans for the future. 我们必修规划未来。They plan to arrive some time after three. 他们预计在三点钟到达。We hadnt planned on going anywhere this evening. 我们今晚没打算外出。3. We are going to spend a few days in Qingdao. 我们计划在青岛呆几天。I wont spend so much time playing video games. 我不会花太多时间玩电视游戏。以上两句的spend 表示“花费 （时间）”。知识拓展：spend，cost，take，pay 和buy 的区别 spend 常用于sb. spend time /money on sth / doing sth 的句型中。cost 表示“花费（多少钱）”句型为 sth cost sb. money 。take 常用于It takes/took sb. Time to do sth 这一句型，it 是形式主语，真正主语是不定式 to do sth. Pay 的句型为：pay （sb.） money for sth. buy 用于buy sth for money 的句型中。例如： The dictionary cost me twenty yuan. 我花了二十元买那本字典。= I spent twenty yuan on the dictionary. = I paid twenty yuan for the dictionary. = I bought the dictionary for twenty yuan. It took them over two years to build the bridge. 修建那座大桥花了他们两年时间。= They spent over two years building the bridge. 4. Well stay here until May 5 th. 我们要在这儿呆到五月五日。until 肯定形式表示的意思是“做某事直至某时”，动词必须是延续性的。否定形式表达的意思是“直至某时才做某事”，动词为延续的和非延续性的都可。例如：I slept until midnight. 我一直睡到半夜时醒了。She didnt arrive until 6 o clock. 她直到6点才到。Dont get off the bus until it has stopped. 公共汽车停稳后在下车。5. And its the last day before the new school year begins. 这是新学年开始前的最后一天。last 此处意味“最后的”。知识拓展： last 的用法：（1）用作形容词： “最后的”，例如：Its the last house on the left. 是左边尽头的那栋房子。 “最近的，上一个的”，例如：last night/year 昨晚/去年Her last book 她最近出版的书 “仅剩下的，最终的”，例如：This is our last bottle of wine. 这是我们最后的一瓶葡萄酒。（2）用作副词： “最后，终结”，例如：He came last in the race. 这次赛跑他得了最后一名。 “最新，上一次”，例如：When did you see him last? 你最近什么时候见过他？（3）用作名词： “最后来的人或发生的事”例如：Sorry Im late, am I the last? 对不起，我来晚了，我是最后到的人吗？ “仅剩下的部分”，例如：These are the last of our apples, 这是我们最后剩下的几个苹果。（4）用作动词：“持续，继续”，例如：The meeting only lasted for a few minutes. 会议只开了几分钟。6.

The one time I wasnt sure of that was on September 11. I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism. My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again. When I Watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Couldnt understand how something this terrible could have happened. It wasnt until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did e from this tragedy. People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant. Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious, to let myself get worried over small things. Ive learned also that you cant take things for granted, Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and dont e back. One moment theyre living and the next minute theyre not. And, it doesnt matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have. You try to learn from what happened. You cant be used up it. You cant live by it. All you can do is just live. 注：crash 撞击 reaction 反应 witness 目击 tragedy 悲剧tolerant 宽容的 precious 珍贵的 take for granted 认为是当然的 （ ） 1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means _.
