2. Intensive Reading (I)

3. Lead-in 1. Do you prefer to read short stories or novels? Why? A: I prefer to read short stories rather than novels, because it takes a short time to finish the whole story and I can get joy and excitement easily.

4. B: I can’t agree. I think novels have more complicated plots and more characters. From the novels, you can learn about more current social situations and more culture. C: In my opinion, both of them have their own features. I like both short stories and novels.

5. 2. What stories do you like best, fairy tales, scientific fictions, thrilling stories or detective stories? A: I like fairy tales best, because they can bring us a great deal of splendid imagination. They are usually full of magic images. They are like colorful dreams.

7. C: I like thrilling stories best, because we can get exciting and thrilling experiences from them when we are reading thrilling stories. I like thrilling stories such as the ones in Liaozhai Zhiyi.

8. D: I like reading detective stories best, because we can learn skills and abilities of analysing things while enjoying complicated and confusing plots. I like best the detective stories in Sherlock Holmes written by the most famous detective writer, Conan Doyle.

9. Pre-reading 1. What do you already know about the story The Moonstone? We have learned something about The Moonstone from Warming up and Speaking. It is a very interesting and attractive detective story. It was

10. written by Wilkie Collins, a great detective story writer in the nineteenth century in Britain. 2. What do you think happens next in the story? I think it is hard to say what will happen next in the story. But I think it is very possible that they finally

11. find out who has stolen the diamond and the Moonstone will be brought back to Rachel. I have a different one next in the story. The Moonstone won’t come back to Rachel again. So Rachel will get rid of bad luck. She will soon marry her lover and lead a happy life.

12. Reading Part1 (Para 1): This part mainly talks about how Rachel gets the Moonstone as her present.

22. 当他临死的时候,他把月亮宝石留给他的外甥女雷切尔来报复他姐姐,他想把月亮宝石所带给他的厄运传递给他外甥女。当他临死的时候,他把月亮宝石留给他的外甥女雷切尔来报复他姐姐,他想把月亮宝石所带给他的厄运传递给他外甥女。 (1) in an/the act of revenge (for ...)表示“采取报复…的行为, 为了报复…”, 相当于in order to revenge ...。

23. e.g. The man cut down all Mr. Li’s trees at night, in an/the act of revenge for his insult in the day. 那个人在夜里砍掉了李先生所有 的树木,以报复他白天所受的侮 辱。

24. (2) pass on ... to someone相当于hand something down to someone表示“把……传递给……”。 e.g. Their ancestors passed on those traditions to the young from generation to generation. 他们的祖先把那些传统一代又一 代地传给年轻人。

25. 2. Is it coincidence or is it the Moonstone’s bad luck that causes the tension and strange things that happen during the rest of the evening? 究竟是巧合还是月亮宝石的厄运 导致那天晚上发生那么多紧张而 奇怪的事呢？

26. (1)上面句子的本来结构应为：Does coincidence or the Moonstone’s bad luck cause the tension and strange things (that happen during the rest of the evening)? 句子中it is... that...是一个强调句式，这里强调句子的主语coincidence or the Moonstone’s bad luck。

27. It is the good news that makes us all excited. 是那个好消息令我们大家都很激动。 (2) it is ... that ...既可以引导一个强调句式以突出句子中的某部分,也可以引导一个主从复合句(主语从句), 但两者有本质的区别: 强调句式只是为了突出某

28. 一部分而把这一部分提前到it is ... that框架里, 而把原句子中其余部分原封不动地放在that之后，it is ... that本身没有任何意义, 而且除了被强调部分表示人时that可以改用who外, 其他任何场合只能用that; 而it

29. is ... that引导名词从句时, it替代后面的从句作形式主语, 后面的名词从句才是真正的主语, 而且引导名词从句的that根据句意还可改用what, who, when, where, how, why, whether等。

30. 请比较： a. It is Miss Gao who will teach us English this term. (强调句式) =Miss Gao will teach us English this term. 高老师将在这学期教我们英语。

31. b. It is not yet decided who will teach us English this term.(名词从句) =Who will teach us English this term is not yet decided. 这学期谁将教我们英语还没决定下来。

33. (1) 句子中词组be stubborn in doing ...表示“固执地做某事”相当于insist on doing ...。 e.g. My father was stubborn in reserving the old house from my great-grandparents. (2) 句子中that引导的是一个同位语从句,说明主句谓语be stubborn in

34. resisting his enquiries的程度。 (3) 句子中seem as if ...与动词make构成复合宾语结构，即宾语补足语，seem/look/sound ... as if ...又构成系表结构, 其中as if引导的表语从句谓语可以是陈述语气说明具有客观性的情况, 也可以用虚拟语气说明不具有客观性的情况。

35. 请比较： a. It seems as if the weather will turn out fine soon, though it stormed wildly just now. (具有客观性) 尽管刚才还是狂风暴雨，但天气似乎很快就会转晴了。

36. b. It seems as if the man were dead when he sleeps lying on the bed.(不具有客观性) 那人躺在床上睡觉的时候，看起来像是死了似的。

39. She stole the diamond only either from force of habit or to cause a disagreement between Franklin and Rachel. It seems as if he was too enthusiastic to help Mr. Cuff to detect the case.

40. She was so stubborn in resisting Sergeant Cuff’s enquiries about the diamond. There must be a secret about the Moonstone.

41. Why did Sergeant Cuff believe that the garment with the paint stain belonged to the thief? Because the door was newly-painted and still wet, when someone went into the room to steal the diamond, he must have opened and

42. closed the door inthe darkness and have gotten a stain of paint on his or her clothes. So anyone whose clothes had a stain of paint must be the thief.
