Unit 1Reading I Herbert’s Homecoming Pre-reading Questions Who was Herbert? Did he go home from Cambridge to have his holidays? Why did he come home earlier? What was he about to do when the policemen came? Did the policemen ask him questions as soon as they burst into the house? Did the policemen believe what Herbert said? What did they take Herbert for? Why did they take Herbert for a burglar? Language Points 1.?But he ran out of money, and came home a week earlier than he had expected to: 1) 比较状语从句中动词expect使用了过去完成时，表示一个本来打算做而没有做的事，类似的动词有 intend, mean, hope, want, plan, suppose, think等，这种用法也可表示过去未实现的设想、意图或希望等，含有某种惋惜。此外，过去完成时也可以不体现在谓语动词而体现在不定式的完成形式中，如： He had wanted to help (=wanted to have helped) you but he had no time. 2) run out of: use up; exhaust the supply of（用完；用光） e.g. run out of fuel / water / food 2.?The back door burst open, and he found himself surrounded by policemen. 1）句中Burst为不及物动词用作系动词，后接形容词作表语。许多不及物动词，在表示性质、特征、状态、动作或动作过程所产生的结果时用作系动词，后接形容词、名词等，如：She arrived fresh and energetic. 2）句中动词find后用复合宾语结构，即find+名词+宾补（可为形容词、介词词组、现在分词或过去分词），注意现在分词作宾补表示正在进行的主动意义，过去分词则表示已经完成的被动意义，如： I find the bird singing beautifully in the garden. He found the thief caught red-handed by the policeman. 3. I’ve been on holiday. 短语on holiday意为“度假”，介词 on表示“处于……的状态或过程”，如：on leave, on fire, on the way, on the increase, on display, on strike, on guard, on duty, on a picnic 4.We’ll go and search the house: 此处and不表示并列关系，go and search相当于go to search，类似的用法还有try and do等结构，但二者又有所区别，go and可用于一切时态，而try and不能用于过去时态，如： He went and bought another one. You must try and come to the party. 动词search既可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词，注意意义有所不同，search sth.意为“搜查，仔细检查”；而search for sth.意为“寻找，探求，追求”，如：search a person; search for hidden treasure 5. They were convinced they had caught a burglar: 动词convince意为“使确信，使信服”，其用法为 convince sb. of sth. / to do sth. / that-clause Reading II A Sound Sleeper Pre-reading Questions Why did Andrew have to leave home one day?
