一、交际用语
1 What do you think is likely to happen？
你认为会发生什么事？likely作“很可能的”解时常用这样的句型。Sb．is likely to do sth．/It is likely that…He is not likely to come．他不见得会来。It’s likely（that）they’11 win．很可能他们赢。
2 Do you think it’s possible that it will hap-pen？你认为会发生这种事吗？
possible作“可能的”解时常用下述句型：
It’s possible that…
It’s posbile for sb．to do sth．
It’s possible（that）he will be here in time．他也许会及时来这儿。
It’s quite possible for us to finish the workbefore dark．我们很有可能天黑前完成这工作。
二、单词和词组
1．talk of
意思是“讨论，提到，说到要做某事”。如：
Talking of a plane，have you ever had a ridein it？
He talked of visiting New York．
2．majority 大多数
这个名词作主语，谓语动词一般用复数形式，也可以用单数形式。例如：
The majority of our class were/was against the plan．我班多数人不赞成这个计划。
3．out of work= out of a job 没有工作；失业
out of作“失去，缺乏”解。例如：
Her father has been out of work for 2 years．
三、句型
1．He may have plans， but he hasn’ t yet spo－ken to me about them．他可能已经有计划了，但他还没有和我谈过。
句中 speak to sb．about sth．意为“和某人谈论某事”。例如：
Tom is speaking to Mary about their teacher．
与speak搭配的介词、副词很多，常见的有：speak of说……的事，提及；speak out大声说出；speak for代替……讲话；speak with sb．和某人谈话
2．But some people do not want good farmland tobe built on．有些人不想让良好的农田盖上厂房。
句中谓语动词want后跟的是带不定式的复合宾语结构。to be built on是不定式的被动式，在句中作宾语land的补足语。当不定式的被动式作宾语补足语时，通常宾语是不定式动作的承受者。例如：
He wanted his coat to be made as soon aspossible．他想让人把上衣尽快缝好。
I don’t like myself to be talked about．
我不喜欢被别人议论。

她没有必要这么早去的。

他们不需要钱。

2）复数形式常解作“需求，要求”。
We must try our best to meet the needs ofthe markets．我们一定要尽力满足市场需求。
2．transport
1）作动词时重音在后一个音节上，读［trænsp：t］，解释为“输送；运送；运输”。如：
This kind of fruit was transported by plane．这种水果是用飞机运输的。
2）作名词时重音在前一个音节上，读［trænsp：t］，解释“运输，输送；交通工具”。
如：
Trains are most used for transport in that country．那个国家的运输火车用得最多。
3．satisfy
1）作及物动词用意为“满足，使满意”。例
如：
The teacher was satisfied with my answers．
老师对我的回答感到满意。
2）satisfy 的形容词形式是 satisfactory，名词形式是 satisfaction。
4．fairly 公平地；相当定意义的词，或本身为肯定的意义。例如：
It’s fairly warm today．
今天相当暖和。（有心中舒服的意味）
而其同义副词rather通常修饰表示否定意义的词或本身为否定的意义。例如：
It’s rather warm today．
今天相当炎热。（有不愉快的意味）
2）fairly不能用于比较级和too之前而rather则可。例如：
I did rather better this time．
我这次做得比较好一点了。
This is rather too much for me．
这对我来说太过分了。
5．go off（机器）停止；（电灯）熄掉
1）这个动词词组相当于不及物动词，所以不能用于被动语态。例如：
I noticed the lights went off at about eightand came on again half an hour later．我注意到灯8点左右熄了，半小时后又亮了。
2）go off相当于 turn off，但 turn off还可作及物动词用。例如：
Turn off the radio please．
请把收音机关了。
6．play a part in
这个动宾词组解释为“在……中起作用”。part可用形容词 important，large，leading，great 等修饰。例如：
Professor Smith played a leading part in the research work．Smith教授在研究工作中起了主要作用。
三、句型
What do you think is likely to happen？
句中do you think是插入语。像 do youthink/suppose/guess/say/ believe/imagine 等，用于特殊疑问句中，这样的句子叫“双重疑问句”。其中 do you think等要置于疑问词之后，再后面的部分要用陈述语序，但do youthink等也可放句末，此时其他部分要用疑问语序。例如：
What do you guess it is？
＝What is it，do you guess？
注意：do you know常不与特殊疑问句构成双重疑问句，而是放在疑问词前。如：
Do you know when school will be over？
你知道学校什么时候放学？
四、语法
同位语从句
掌握同位语从句的关键是要了解：
1）同位语从句的先行名词常常是：news，reason，fact，idea，order，suggestion等抽象名词，前面常有the，同位语从句的作用是对先行词作进一步说明。
2）引导同位语从句的词常用that，whether等连接词以及 When，where， why，how等连接副词。
3）同位语从句与定语从句的区别是：引导同位语从句的that只起连接作用，不可省略；而定语从句中的that在从句中充当某个句子成分，但在从句中作宾语时可省略。例如：
The news that our school team won thegame excited every one．我校代表队赢了这场比赛，这消息使大家很兴奋。（同位语从句）
The news（that）you heard is untrue.
你听到的消息不真实。（定语从句）
when，where，why引导定语从句时先行词一般是表示时间、地点、原因的名词，而引导同位语从句则不然。例如：
This is the house where Lu Xun once lived．
这是鲁迅曾住过的房子。（定语从句）
I have no idea where he lives．
我不知他住哪里。（同位语从句）
