Lesson 13 Dialogue
1．Can I have a look at your copy of China Daily?
我可以看一下你那份《中国日报》吗？
have a look at sth．看一看……（＝take a look at sth．）
这一类短语中的名词是由其动词转化而来，后跟宾语时，仍然与其作动词
时的搭配一样。
look作动词时，带宾语常为 look at sth/ sb, look into sth．etc．
再如：have a dream of/about sth．梦见……；give/have a pull at sth．拉一下
……
2．Sure, go ahead．行，请便吧！
（1）Sure这里作副词，表示肯定（＝Surely, Certainly, Of course）
（2）Go ahead有下列几种常用的用法：
A．（用于祈使句）尽管去做
——May I use your dictionary?我可以用你的词典吗？
——Yes, go ahead．行，你尽管用吧！
B．继续做（某事）go ahead with sth．
Don't stop．Just go ahead with your work．不要停下来。只管干你们的活。

What's on…?是一个固定的表达方式，后跟时间或地点状语，表示“在什么
时候或什么地方上演什么？”“on”副词，作“上演”，“演出”解，在句中
作表语。
What's on tonight?今晚上演什么？
There's a new film on at the new cinema．在新电影院上演新电影。
4．Is there anything good on?有什么好节目在上演吗？
“good”形容词，作定语，修饰不定代词 anything。当形容词作定语修饰像
something, anything, nothing, everything这类不定代词时，形容词要后置。
Have you found anything important in the newspaper?
你在报纸上发现了什么重要消息吗？
There's something wrong with this machine．这台机器有故障。
5．They're said to be very good．据说他们都很不错。
不定式“to be very good”作主语补足语，说明主语的情况。全句相当于：It
is said that they are very good．或 People say（that）they are very good．
这类句子在转换时，要注意不定式的形式变化。
（1）It is said that he is translating the book into English．
＝He is said to be translating the book into English．
（2）It is said that he has translated the book into English．
＝He is said to have translated the book into English．

B．Which to choose is still a problem．选择那一个仍然是个问题。
C．He stood there, not knowing what to do．他站在那儿不知干什么。
（2）get down to work着手工作；开始干……

4．They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they
need．他们到报社的图书馆去查阅他们需要的资料。
（1）that they need定语从句，修饰先行词 information。关系代词只用 that
而不用which，因为当先行词之前有不定代词 all, any, every, no, some等修饰时
或先行词本身就是不定代词（如 anything, something, nothing, everything, all等）
时，其后的定语从句常用关系代词引导。如果 that在定语从句中作宾语，that可

6．work at与 work on
work on sth中 sth是work的具体对象，work at sth中 sth只说明所从事工作
的性质（即时间、精力用在某一方面的事情上），而不在于说明正在做什么。例
如：
When the boy saw the soldiers, he stopped working on the branch, stood up,and
took off his cap．
小男孩看到了这些士兵，便停止了削树枝，站了起来，取下帽子。

样。但 start, begin这两个动词要注意下列用法：

The ice began/started to melt．冰开始化了。
B．当 begin, start本身为-ing形式时，其后应跟不定式。
I'm beginning/starting to cook the dinner．我正开始在作饭。

wonder; forget; remember; know; like; love等时也应用不定式形式。例如：

making the newspapers．

（1）which引导的非限制性定语从句补充说明了其先行词 advertisement．
（2）如果将以上句子译成《中国日报》刊登大量广告以降低报纸生产成本，
那么which 引导的非限制性定语从句的先行词应该是整个句子，即 China Daily
has plenty of advertisements，而不仅仅是 advertisements，而且从句中的动词 help
应该变成 helps才恰当。
（3）cut down the costs =reduce the costs（降低成本）
cost指的是买东西或做某事或生产某物所需的钱。而 price指的是买东西所
需的钱。例如：
What is the cost of having the house painted．
请人将房子粉刷一下需多少钱？

their English．

music （流行音乐）， pop group（弹唱流行音乐的人）。
6．I can see how English is used in everyday life as well．
我还能观察到日常生活中使用的英语。
（1）在 everyday life中 everyday为形容词，意为“日常的”。又如：
everyday work日常工作 everyday English日常英语
every day分开写为名词性短语，可作状语用。例如：
He works very hard every day．他每天工作努力。
We should be in touch with English every day．
我们应该天天接触英语。
（2）as well: also, too本句还可以这样写：
I can see how English is used in everyday life．或在原句中将 as well改成 too
I can see how English is used in everyday life,too．
（3）as well作 also, too解时，常常放在句末。（和一样）常放在句子中间。
又如：

really care for tea, but I like coffee better．

我很高兴看到这些孩子得到很好的照料。
2．动词的-ing形式的用法
（1）动词的-ing形式在句子作主语
动词的-ing形式在句中做主语，谓语动词要用单数。例如：
Learning new words is very useful to me．
学习新单词对我非常有用。
Writing headlines in English is not an easy job．
用英文写标题不是一件容易的事。
（2）动词的-ing形式在句中作宾语：
I like reading China Daily我喜欢看《中国日报》。
I enjoy learning about new things．我喜欢了解新事物。
I dislike reading long articles．我不喜欢读长篇文章。
注意：多数及物动词后的宾语既可以用不定式，也可以用-ing形式，其意
义基本不变，如例句中的 reading也可以用 to read。又如：You must start
working(to work)hard．少数及物动词后面的宾语只可以用-ing形式，不可以用
不定式。如例句中的 learning和 reading均不能改用 to learn和 to read。属于这类及
物动词的还有：consider, finish, mind, practise, feel like ,give up等。
He has finished writing the report on the medical conference．
他已经写完了有关医学会议的报道。（其中的writing不能改用 to write）此
外，还有个别的及物动词（如 stop）的宾语既可以是不定式，也可以是形式，
但意思不同。试比较：
He stopped writing the letter．他停止了写信（不写了）
He stopped(sth else) to write the letter．
他停下来写封信。（停下别的事情而开始写信了）
（3）动词的形式在句中作介词宾语：
She is interested in doing chemical experiments．
她喜欢做化学实验。
Buying magazines is a good way of finding out information．
买杂志是查找资料的好办法。
（-ing短语 finding out the information作介词 of的宾语）
此外，在 Checkpoint的Useful expression中有一个短语动词 care for，首次
出现在本课“2 Writing”的左栏中。care for作“喜欢”，“想要”，“关心”，
“照料”解。例如：
He cares for collecting coins．他爱收藏硬币。
Most of us care for music．我们多数人爱好音乐。
She cares only for herself and her family．她只关心她自己和家里人。

题或完成给句子的最佳答案。
A
I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise． At the end I
said, “Son, remember: slow and steady（稳） wins the race． Don't you think
there's something to learn from the tortoise?”
He opened his eyes wide． “Do you mean next time when I am entering the
60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall sleep half-
way?”
I was shocked． “But the tortoise didn't wish the have would fall
asleep!”“He must have wished that,”Sonny said, “otherwise how could he be so
stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well that the hare ran a hundred times
faster than he himself did．”“He didn't have such a wish,” I insisted． “He won
the race by perseverance （坚持）, by pushing on steadily．”
Sonny thought for a while． “That's a lie,” he said． “He won it because he
was lucky． If the hare hadn't happened fall asleep, the tortoise would never have
won the race． He could be as steady as you liked or a hundred times steadier, but
he'd never have won the race! That's for sure．”
I gave up． Today's children are not like what we used to be． They are just
hopeless．

A．he liked tortoise while his son liked hare．
B． they disagreed about whether the tortoise was stupid．

B． he gave up arguing with Sonny

B
The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on
advertising． He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for
this reason．But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been
carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are thankful for the
opportunity to keep their products in the public eye．
Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and
editors rarely hold with taking sides on political questions． But they can often be of
service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues． A newspaper
can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping
facilities（设施）, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and
places of interest．
These papers often sound rather dull and it seems surprising that they all make a
profit（牟利）, but for many people in small towns and villages the death of
someone known to them or the fix of traffic lights at a busy comer nearby can
sometimes be more important than a disaster in a foreign country．
51．What should the editor remember according to the 1 st paragraph?
A．Money B．Newspaper C．People
D．Advertising
52．What is the local newspapers' attitude（态度）on national political
questions?
A．They seldom have their own ideas
B．They often express their ideas
C．They are against one side
D．They are for another side
53． Do businessmen like the local newspapers?
A．No, they are for business
B．Yes, from the advertising on the newspapers they can sell well
C．Yes, they can write for the newspaper
D． No, they can't get much money from the newspaper
54．A local newspaper can persuade the council
A．to provide better shopping facilities
B．to preserve local monuments
C．to improve transport in the area
D．all above
55．Give a proper title after reading the above two passages．
A． Advertising on British Newspapers
B． Daily Express And Daily Mirror
C．Local Newspapers In Britain
D．British Newspapers
