7. to one’s surprise使某人惊奇的是
To my great surprise he was late for school for the first time that day .
To the surprise of his parents , the young man got rich overnight .
注意：to在此为介词，意为“致使”，后接表示情感的名词，特指在某人心中产生的感情效果。由to引起的介词短语在句中作状语，表示结果。下面三种表达一样：to my surprise = to the surprise of me = much to my surprise 。

二、学海导航
【学法指要】
单元难点疑点思路明晰
1 . It seems that it's more difficult for women to get to the top of a company . 妇女似乎更难提升到公司的最高职位。
〖明晰〗It seems that…是一个常用句型，意为“看来；似乎”
It seems that no one knew what had happened .
另外，seem 还常用于其它两个句型：
It seems as if…意为“看来好像……” , as if 从句谓语动词要用虚拟语气形式。
It seems as if it were going to rain .
There seems…意为“似乎有……”。
There seems something wrong with my bicycle .
2 . There a doctor asked him to remove his trousers so that he could examine his legs . 在医院里，医生让他把裤子脱下来，以便检查一下他的腿。
〖明晰〗so that 表示“以便；为了”，引导目的状误从句，相当于 in order that , 它们后面可以跟表示将来含义的现在时。在过去时的句中 , so that 或 in order that 从句中谓语动词常用“should ( 或 could , would , might ) + 动词原形。”
Put the little plants in the shade so that the sun won't burn them .
此处的 so that 和上文 A worker drove a small handtruck so carelessly that it hit the back of Mr . King's legs . 中的 so…that 含义不同。它表示“如此……以致……”，that 引导的结果或程度状语从句。
The film was so moving that we were all moved to tears .
3 . I had to lie to the company and pretended to be a man in order to get a job . 我不得不向公司撒谎并装成一个男人。
〖明晰〗lie 在此作不及物动词，意为“撒谎”，该动词是规则动词。“对 ( 向 ) 某人撒谎”用lie to sb . ( 相当于 lie 作名词时的短语 tell sb . a lie ) 。
It's clear that she is lying .
lie 作名词时，也有“谎言”之意，是可数名词。“撒谎”可以表达为 tell a lie 或 tell lies .
Don't tell a lie before your parents .
另外，lie 作不及物动词时，也可作“躺；卧”解，是不规则动词。不要把 lie 作“撒谎”解时的规则形式搞混。
I was lying in bed with a bed cold yesterday。
He lay down and soon fell asleep .
4 . Unless you tell me , I shall not be able to help you . 除非你告诉我，否则我不会帮助你。 ( 如果你不告诉我，我就不会帮助你。 )
〖明晰〗unless 是一个从属连词，用来引导条件状语从句，其自身含有否定意义，相当于“if…not…”，在汉语中常译为“除非……，否则……”。原句的 unless you tell me = if you don't tell me .
He will not come unless he is invited . = If he is not invited , he will not come .
Unless I have time , I won't come and join you .
5. It is easier for girls to learn foreign languages than boys . 女孩比男孩更易学会外语。
〖明晰〗It is + adj. (for sb) to do sth是一个常用句型。又如：
It’s dangerous to play with fire .
It is weightier than Mount Tai to die for the people .
注意：当表示逻辑主语的性质和内部特征时介词用of连接。如：
It is careless of you to notice nothing of it .
6. I’m sure there is nothing that a woman can’t do . 我相信没有什么事是女人干不了的。
〖明晰〗nothing与can’t同时出现在句子中构成双重否定。
There will be no difficulty in the world which they cannot overcome . 世界上任何困难都是可以克服的。
下面这些句子也是双重否定：
Without air we cannot live even a few minutes .
There is no right to speak without looking into it .
You can’t make something out of nothing . (谚语) 巧妇难为无米之炊。
注意句中的定语从句中的that不要用which ， 因为其先行词是不定代词nothing 。
7. Companies that make telephones and computers and so on prefer to employ women . 制造电话机、计算机等的公司更喜欢雇佣妇女。
〖明晰〗此句没有把比较级的事物说出来，但是prefer 暗含有比较的意味，其含义为更喜欢。prefer的常见搭配有：
1) prefer + n . 2) prefer + -ing 3) prefer + to do 4) prefer sb to do 5) prefer + 宾语从句（注意从句中用虚拟） 6） prefer + 名词 + to + 名词 7）prefer + -ing + to + -ing 8) prefer to do rather than do (注意在句型8) 中的than后常不加to ) 如：
Which do you prefer , tea or coffee ?
He preferred spending weekends by himself .
At the moment , I prefer not to think about the future .
I prefer you to give me some advice .
Would you prefer that I came ( = should come )on Monday ?
All of us preferred rice to noodles .
They prefer walking to cycling .
They prefer to go with us rather than stay at home
8. I don’t agree with your decision . (Lesson 75) 我不同意你的决定。
〖明晰〗agree 是个常用动词，也是高考经常考查的词汇之一。由于它的用法比较复杂，有的同学在理解和使用时经常出错。为了帮助同学们正确理解和使用这个词，现将它的用法归纳如下。
1） agree with + 名词 / 代词或从句
在这个句型中，如用人作主语，表示“同意……”，“赞成……”，后面接指人或表示“意见”，“看法”的词（如：suggestion , statement , practice , proposal ）；如用事物作主语，表示“与……一致(相符)”，“(气候、食物等)适合……”。例如：
We all agree with you .
I agree with most of what you said , but I don't agree with everything .
He doesn't agree with what you said at the meeting .
The verb must agree with the subject in person and number . 动在人称和数上应与主语一致。
What he said doesn't agree with what he did . 他言行不符。
Mutton doesn't agree with me . 我不能吃羊肉。
2） agree to + 名词 / 代词
agree to的意思是“同意(赞成)……”，后面接表示“建议”，“计划”，“条件”，“安排”等的词，不但表示同意，而且含有协助合作之意。例如：
They agree to our suggestion .
Does he agree to this arrangement ?
agree to 还有“答应”的意思。可表示答应某件自己实际上不赞成的事。例如：
The boss agreed to the terms only under the pressure of the workers .
agree to 也可用于被动句型，但 agree with 却不可以。例如：
Their terms have been agreed to .
3） agree on / about + 名词 / 代词
agree on 的意思是“对……取得了一致意见”，主语常常是协商一件事的人们或单位，后面常接表示具体协议的文件、计划、行动、日期、条款等名词，介词 on 有时可用 about 来替换。例如：
We all agreed on an early start tomorrow morning .
They didn't agree about some of the views in the book .
There is one point on which they all agree .
4） agree with sb . on sth .
这个句型的意思是“对某事跟某人意见一致”。它的相反意思的句型为：disagree with sb . about sth . “对某事跟某人意见不一致”。例如：
I agree with you on this matter .
They disagreed with you about some of the opinions in this report .
5） agree to do sth .
agree to do sth . 的意思是“同意(答应)做某事”。例如：
The worker agreed to mend the machine next Monday .
6） agree + that-clause
这个句型的意思是“同意(认为 / 承认)……”。例如：
We agree (with you) that this article is worth reading .
7） agree 作“同意”解时，也可单独使用。例如：
I asked him to go to the cinema with me and he agreed .

D。turn off 是一动词短语，意为“关上 ( 收音机 ) ”。17 . D。下文妻子说的“You will save some money . ”已暗示出，她已了解消息的内容，故填 late。18 . D。talk , speak 均为不及物动词，一般不能接宾语；say 后不能接双宾语。此处用的句型是 tell sb . sth . 。 19 . D。这里 save money 和上文收音机里传出的消息 the bus fares were going to drop in price 所表达的内容相照应。 20 . D。agree with sb . 表示“同意某人的意见”。

whose 在定语从句中的用法
whose 是定语从句中一个常用的关系代词，表“ …… 的”之意；它可以指“人的”，也可以指“物的”；既可以引导限制性定语从句，也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
〖思维一〗whose + n . 可作主语，宾语，功能与 which , whom (who )相同。如：
Mr King , whose legs were badly hurt , was quickly taken to hospital .
The boss in whose department Mr King worked had heard about the accident .
〖思维二〗whose 既可引导限制性定语从句，又可引导非限制性定语从句。如：
My uncle whose office we have just passed , is a lawyer . 我的叔叔是个律师，刚才我们经过他的办公室 。
Once there was a wise king whose name was Alfred . 从前有一个叫阿尔弗雷德的英国国王。
〖思维三〗whose 代指“……的”，既可以指人，也可以指物。如：
Look at the building , whose roof is white . 看那栋楼，楼顶的颜色是白的。
The girl lives in the house , whose windows face south . 那个女孩住在这所房子里，房子的窗户是朝南开的。
〖思维四〗whose 表所属关系指物时，可与 of which 转换，词序一般是：名词+ of which
Look at the building , the roof of which ( = whose roof )is white .
The girl lives in the house , the windows of which ( = whose windows )face south .
〖思维五〗whose 不可与 of which (whom )转换的情况。
当 of 不具有“所属”含义时，（如在 hear of , be proud of , be fond of , be full of 等短语中，of 均不表“所属”关系），只能用 of which (whom) 或 which (whom , who )… of ，切不可盲目用 whose 。如：
Mary has been married to a scientist of whom you may have heard . (… < who / whom > you may have heard of … .) 玛丽嫁给了一位科学家，你可能听说过这个人。
She has a clever boy of whom she is proud .她有一个为之骄傲的聪明儿子。
〖思维六〗whose 在定语从句中，有“所属”含义，一般不再与其它限定词罗列使用。
当 whose 表“所属”含义时，其本身就是一个限定词，相当于 one's （具体讲是：my , his , her ,
its , our , your , their …），而限定词不可罗列在一起使用， whose 也不例外。如：
John , of whom my aunt is a distant cousin by marriage , comes to see us sometimes . 约翰有时来看看我们，他是我姑姑的一个远房亲戚。

一、单元知识易混点改错
1 . Those boy students are going to call on woman scientists tomorrow .
2 . To my great surprising , he didn't feel surprised at his failure .
3 . She pretended sleeping when I entered .
4 . Ms King cut her hair , bought some men's clothes , used a man's name and finally getting a job in Mr Pattis's company .
5 . I don't want to see the boy his father is now in prison .
6 . It's sure that there is nothing that a woman can't do .
7 . The room , its windows face south , is our classroom .
8 . So as to get a job , Ms King had to lie to the Notco Company .
9 . It's stupid for you to say so .
10 . He replied with a loud smile , “It was Tom who gave me that book . ”
答案与解析： 1 . 把 woman 改为 women。当一个名词被 man 被 woman 修饰时，在变复数时，应把两个词同时变成复数形式。 2 . 把 surprising 改为 surprise。to one's surprise ( 令某人感到惊奇的是……) 是一固定短语，介词后用 surprise 的名词形式。 3 . sleeping 改为 to be sleeping . pretend 可接动词不定式作宾语，但不可接动名词作宾语。 4 . getting 改为 got。由 finally 前的并列连词 and 可知，此处应该是与 cut，bought , used 并列的谓语动词。 5 . his 改为 whose。在定语从句中，指人时要用关系代词 whose 或 of whom 表“……的”之意。his 不能用来连接句子。 6 . sure 改为 certain。certain 的主语可以指人也可以指物，而 sure 的主语只能指人。 7 . its 改为 whose . its 不可充当连词连接句子，whose 是关系代词，表“……的”，在定语从句中作定语，既可指人也可指物。此处相当于“of which”。 8 . So as to 改为 In order to。两者均可作目的状语，但 so as to 不可置于句首。 9 . for 改为 of。在 It's + adj . + prep . + sb . + to do sth . 句型中，当形容词是表示人的性质，表示称赞或责备某人做了某事时，介词要用 of。能这样用的形容词还有 clever , nice , stupid , foolish , brave , wise , kind , cruel 等。 10 . 删去 loud . smile“微笑”一般是无声地，与 loud“大声地”矛盾。
二、单项填空
1 . - How are you , Tom ?
- I'm ____ . Thank you .
A . right B . all right C . good D . not bad
2 . He advised ____ early .
A . to start B . starting C . we would start D . had started
3 . Something has gone ____ with my watch .
A . mistake B . mistaken C . matter D . wrong
4 . She turned red ____ what he said .
A . because B . at C . because of D . at
5 . I have been there ____ times .
A . scores of B . score of C . two scores D . scores
6 . The prisoner tried to ___ but was caught by the policeman .
A . escape B . flee C . escaping D . fleeing
7 . I don't think Jim saw me , he ____ into space .
A . just stared B . was just staring C . has just stared D . had just stared
8 . It was ____ late to catch a bus after the party , therefore we called a taxi .
A . too very B . much too C . too much D . far
答案及简析：1 . B . How are you ? 是询问健康状况的日常用语，四个选项只有 all right 是回答健康状况良好的，故为最佳选择。 2 . B . advise 表示“忠告”、“建议”的意思，其后可接名词、动名词、宾语 + 不定式，宾语 + 疑问词 + 不定式，也可接从句，这时从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。 3 . D . go wrong 是一动词短语，意为“出毛病”，“不对头”，其中 go 是表示变化的系动词，形容词 wrong 作表语，构成系表结构。 4 . C . because 和 because of 都有“因为”的意思，because 是连词，引导状语从句；because of 是短语介词，的后接名词性短语，其后接从句，必须由疑问词引导。 5 . A . 名词 score 表示“二十”的意思，用作此意时单数同形，而 scores of = a lot of，表示 “大量的”“许多的”。 6 . A . escape 和 flee 都是逃跑的意思，但前者强调逃跑后的结果，后者表示逃跑的行为本身，常含有惧怕的意思，该句逃跑的用法属于前者。 7 . B . 根据 I don't think Jim was me 的语境可以判断出，当时 Jim 正在凝视天空，表示过去某一段时间正在进行的动作要用过去进行时。 8 . B . much too 意为“太”，“非常”，用作副词词组，修饰形容词、副词，用来加强语气；too much 作“太多”解，可用作名词词组；用作形容词词组，修饰不可数名词；用作副词词组修饰不及物动词。题干中形容词 late 表明，正确答案为 B。
