Module 4 Planes, ships and trains

Unit 1He lives the farthest from school

一、 重点单词：

1、accident There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy.

2、crowded But its so crowded!

二、 Language Points：

1、What happened? 怎么了？出什么事了？ = What’s wrong? / What’s the matter?

(1)sth +happened +地点/时间状语：表示某地或某时发生了某事。

The story happened in 2012.

(2)sth+happened+to sb: 表示某人出了某事

A car accident happened to her this morning.

(3)sb+happen(s)/happened+to do sth表示某人碰巧做某事。

I happened to meet a friend of mine in the street yesterday.

2. But nobody was late, except me.但是没有人迟到，除了我。

I was late for school today. Be late for…迟到

（1）except “除 之外”，后面可接名词、代词、v.-ing形式、副词、介词短语和从句等。 Eg. We have an English lesson every day except Sunday.

除星期天外，我们每天有一堂英语课。（星期天不上）

（2）besides “除 外, 另外还有”, 着重“另外还有”。

Eg. Besides English, he has to study German. 除了英语, 他还要学德语。 （学英语） Eg: We went to the football match except Tom.

We went to the football match besides Tom.

2. Maybe I should go to school by taxi. 或许我应该乘出租车上学。

（1）maybe “或许；可能”， 副词，在句中作状语，相当于perhaps，常位于句首。 Eg. Maybe she’ll come this afternoon. 她可能今天下午来。

辨 析：

may be中，may是情态动词，be是动词原形，两者构成完整的谓语形式，与主语形成系表结构，意为“也许是、可能是”。

Eg. He may be a soldier. 他可能是名军人。Maybe he is at school. ===He may be at school

（2）by taxi “乘坐出租车” by+交通工具 “乘 ， 坐 ”。

注意：表示交通工具的名词前不能有冠词

表达交通方式

（1）骑自行车 ride a bike to … = go to…by bike/on a bike

（2）乘公共汽车 go to… by bus/on a bus = take/catch a bus

（3）坐汽车 drive a car to …= go to…by car/in a car

（4）乘火车 go to …by train/on a train =take /catch a train

（5）乘轮船 by ship /sea

（6）乘飞机 fly to…=go to…by plane/air/on a plane

（7）乘渡轮 by ferry=take the ferry

（8） 乘地铁 take the underground = go to ... by subway

询问某人做某事的方式时候，可以用How does sb. dosth.?

How do you go to school everyday? 3. How does Tony go to school? 托尼怎么去上学？

how是疑问副词，意为“如何、怎样”，用来询问交通方式

4. He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground. 他住的离学校最远，所以 他乘坐地铁。
