5. suggestion 建议

Your suggestion is very helpful .

〖点拨〗(1) 含有suggestion 的主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句、定语从句中主句谓语用 should 型虚拟式。

We agree to his suggestion that the book (should) be published once more .

(2) suggestion 的搭配有：make a helpful / timely suggestion 作出有益(适时)的建议。act on / at one's suggestion = act on / at the suggestion of sb 按照某人的建议做。

(3) suggestion , advice 和 opinion

advice 多指根据自己的学识和经验提出来的供人参考的意见。suggestion 指为改进工作、解决问题而提出的建议，比 advice 委婉。opinion 是日常用语，指对某事的观点、想法。另外，advice 是不可数名词。

Advice is seldom welcome . (谚语) 忠言逆耳。

In our opinion , these trees must be cut down at once .

We have decided to pay more attention to their suggestions .

二、学海导航

【学法指要】

单元句型思路明晰

1. Even when + 从句

Even when you are asleep , you are using energy . 甚至在你睡觉时，你也在消耗能量。

〖明晰〗even 作为副词放在由when引起的时间状语从句的前面起加强语气的作用。

Even when it is in August , the weather there is very cold .

Even when he was taking a holiday he was worried about his work .

2 . 主语 + be considered + to be + 主语补足语

The Chinese diet is considered to be the healthiest in the world . 中国饮食被认为是世界上最健康的饮食。

〖明晰〗consider 做“认为”时可以带不定式的复合结构，即：主语 + consider + 宾语 + 不定式(主要是 to be 做宾语补足语)。如果将宾语变为主语，则 consider 用被动语态，原来作宾补的不定式便变成为主语补足语。注意：to be 常常被省略后成为：consider + 宾语 + 名词(或者形容词)。

He considered the task to be the most difficult one . → The task was considered to be the most difficult one by him .

We all consider his suggestion to be reasonable . → His suggestion is considered to be reasonable .

We consider this (to be) a useful book . → We consider this book useful .

单元难点疑点释疑

1 . When playing football or basketball , you might be using 400 calories an hour . 踢足球或者打篮球时，你每小时可能要消耗 400 卡能量。

〖释疑〗连词 when , while 引起的时间状语从句，如果从句中的主语与主句中的主语是同一人或物时，则可以省略主谓语，变成“When / while + ing”这中结构。

While he was doing the experiment , he noticed something strange . = While doing the experiment , he noticed something strange .

2 . In some parts of Britain , one person in ten , by the age of thirty , has no teeth left . 在英国有些地方，十分之一的人年方三十，牙齿就掉光了。

〖释疑〗 one person in ten 即 one person in ten persons 的省略，其意思为“十个中有一个人”。与 one person in ten 类似的结构有：one person out of ten , one out of ten persons 。但是，ten to one 是“十有八九，很可能”。

Two teachers in ten are against this plan .

Three out of four people (= Three fourths of the people ) went there to have a look .

It will rain tonight ten to one .

另外，left 为过去分词作定语修饰 teeth ，其意思是“剩余的”。

There is but one chance left . 只剩下一个机会。

3 . scores of people went there in the first few days after its opening . 开张的头几天，许许多多人到那家餐馆去就餐。

〖释疑〗after 为介词，其后的物主代词所有格 its 及名词 opening (开张，开幕;开放)构成介词短语作状语。in the first few days “在头几天里”，这里，the first 不是“第一”，当其后接复数名词时，意思是“头几个，第一批”。

I was one of the first people to visit the newly built factory .

答案：1 — 5 DDAAB 6 — 10 CBBDD 11 — 15 DABAD 16 — 20 CABAB 21 — 25 CCCCC

赏析：1 . D . 根据句意，需要填数词，the 后面跟序数词。2 . D。out 和 find 搭配是“发现、弄清”的意思。根据上一句话，他们当中的一个人去“the Information Center”，目的就是为了弄清火车开车的时间。3 . A。three 和 o'clock 连用是三点钟。4 . A。根据上文，他把火车延期这件事告诉了他的朋友。“delay”是延期之意，而 accident 是突发事件，tickets 是票，lateness 是“迟”的名词形式，均不合题意。5 . B。suggest 作“建议”解，后接从句，从句用虚拟语气“should + 动词原形”，should 可以省略。6 . C。so位于句首，引起倒装，go 与 off 连用是“去”之意;而 go on 是“继续”的意思;go in 是“进入状态”之意;go that 不是固定搭配，无词意。7 . B。他们三人进了酒巴，等了一会之后，故选 later。8 . B。track 是“铁轨”之意，与“rail”同义。stop 意为“停止”或“公共汽车站”;station 意为“火车站”;way 是“方法、道路”。此处说的是他们到了上火车的站台，也就是这列火车所在的铁轨处。9 . D。根据下文，三个人都 shouting , “Wait ! Come back!”，一定是火车离开了车站，故选out of。10 . D。因为火车已经开走，所以三个人只能跟在后面。11 . D。catch up with 为固定搭配，是“赶上”之意。12 . A。seize 作“紧抓”解;hold 意为“握住”;take意为“拿”;shake 意为“摇动”。由于他们迫切的心情，所以此刻一定要抓住。13 . B。pull 与 up 搭配是使他们能够跟住火车，而 pull on 是“戴上”的意思，pull off 是“脱下”的意思，pull in 是“车进站”的意思。14 . A。by 指“在这个时候”;till 表示时间时，指“到……时”;而 at this time 提“在此刻”;till 用于肯定句，与延续性动词连用;since 是“自从……”的意思，不合题意，因为三个人从追火车到此时是有一段时间的，故答案应选A。By。15 . D。stop doing something 是停止做某事，因为第三个人赶不上火车了，只好不跑了。stop to run 是停下来去跑的意思，不符合题意。16 . C。watch 后接不带 to 的动词不定式作宾语补足语。17 . A。空白处的动词和 wave 相并列，hear 指听见，而 listen to 指听的动作。C和D不合题意。故答案为A。18 . B。on his face 意为“在脸上”，指表情。19 . A。moment 片刻，minute 分钟。此时应该是过了片刻，而不是一分钟。故答案选A。20 . B。用 and 连接两个并列成分。21 . C。standing 是现在分词作定语，修饰 A man。其他三项不能作定语。22 . C。funny 是“滑稽、可爱”的意思。那个人看见两个人上了火车，第三个人没上去还大笑，便觉得可笑。23 . C。after 与 all 搭配，表示“毕竟”的意思。24 . C。so… 与 that 连用，表示“如此……以至于”。25 . C。see somebody off 意为“给某人送行”，see somebody out 意思是“把某人送到门口”，不合题意，see 与 away 搭配不成立，see 与 leave 搭配是不和题意的。
