Reference for Teaching
一、异域风情
Drama
Britain is one of the world's major centres for theatre,and has a long and rich dramatic e are companies based in London and in many other cities and towns;in addition,numerous touring companies visit theatres,festivals and other venues,including arts and sports centres and social clubs.
Many contemporary British playwrights have received international recognition.
Britain has about 300 theatres intended for professional use which can seat between 200 and 2300 are privately owned,but most are owned either municipally or by non-profit-making 40 of these have resident theatre companies receiving subsidies from the Arts Councils and Regional Arts summer there are also open air theatres,including one in London's Regent's Park and the Minack Theatre,which is on a clifftop near Land's End in Cornwall.
二、知识归纳
(一)I don't think that…
在含宾语从句的复合句中，按原句意思应放在从句中的否定词有时转移到主句
的谓语中，这种现象叫做否定转移(Transferred Negation)。主句中的谓语动词是think,believe,feel,suppose,guess,appear,seem,expect,imagine等表示“看法”“感觉”的动词时，常用否定转移。
e.g.I don't think(that)you need worry.
(I think you needn't worry.)
我认为你无须着急。
I don't believe(that)you two have met,have you?
(I believe you two haven't met.)
我相信你们俩还未见过面，是吗？
使用否定转移时，还须注意以下几点：
1.并不是所有表示“看法……感觉”的动词都能用于否定转移，如hope,trust,be afraid,fear等动词就不能用于这种形式。
2.下列情况，上述用于否定转移的动词也不宜用否定转移结构。
(1)上述动词意义发生变化时：
us suppose A doesn't equal B.
咱们假定A不等于B。
(2)当主句谓语有do,does等强调词时：
e.g.I do think you shouldn't go there.
我实在认为你不应该去那里。
(3)当主句中有情态动词或副词修饰时：
e.g.I can't believe that they are married.
我不相信他们结婚了。
I often think that I'm not fit for the job.
我常想我不适合这个工作。
(4)当句子以疑问句形式出现时：
Do you think that it is true?
你认为这不对吗？
(5)当主句谓语动词与另一个动词并列时：
e.g.I should not only think but also be sure that it won't rain tonight.
我不仅该认为而且该肯定今晚天不会下雨。
(6)当宾语从句中是not/never…too…(越……越好，无论怎样……也不过分)结构时，不能用否定转移结构，因为这时整个句子不是否定的，而是肯定的。
e.g.I think he can not do the work too well.
我想他干得越出色越好。
(7)当从句中含有every,all,both,each,many等词时：
e.g.I suppose both answers are not right.
I don't suppose both answers are right.
我不是认为两个答案都对。
3.从句中除not以外的否定词(如never,no,hardly,little,few,seldom,scarcely等)不能直接转移到主句中去。
e.g.I thought he had never come here. I never thought he had come here.
本句意是：I didn't think he had ever come here.
4.否定转移的句子构成反意疑问句时，如果主句的主语是第一人称，附加问句部分要与宾语从句取得一致。
e.g.I don't think that you can get there in time,can you?
我认为你不能及时到达那里，你能不能呢？
I think that they are coming tomorrow aren't they?
我认为他们明天来，对吗？
(二)cost的用法
.价值(多少钱)，需要(多少钱)；花费金钱，花费时间
much does the book cost?
这本书需要多少钱？
My hat cost twenty dollars.
我的帽子价值二十美元。
The journey cost me more than 50 dollars/more than ten hours.
这次旅行花了我五十美元/十多个小时。
还可表示“使付出(代价)，使……失去……”。
cost me a lot of work.
它使我付出了很多劳动。
Careless driving cost him his life.
开车不小心使他丧生。
The battle cost the king 2000 men.
这次战斗使国王损失了二千人。
作名词，“费用，成本，价钱”。
just had to pay for the cost of food.
他只需付饭钱。
It was sold under cost price.
那个东西赔本卖掉了。
What's the cost of the car?
那辆汽车得花多少钱？
(三)情态动词表推测的用法归纳：
情态动词中的must,can,could,should,ought to,may,might等都表示推测。其中must的推测性最大；can/could(should/ought to)次之；may/might最小。must表推测时只用于肯定句中；can/could用于否定句、疑问句中；may/might用于肯定句、否定句中。下面就它们的具体用法进行讲解。
的用法
(1)must可以对现在、现在进行的情况进行推测。
ing by his accent,he must be from the south.
听他的口音，他一定是南方人。
此句的反意疑问句为：isn't it?(因must后是系动词be)
Tom bought a lot of must like eating apples.
汤姆买了很多苹果，他一定喜欢吃苹果。
此句的反意疑问句为：doesn't he?(因must后是实义动词like)
It is eleven o'clock at night and the lights are must be sleeping now.
现在已经是深夜十一点且灯都关了，他们
