Work in pairs and help him complete the notes. billions of cells 重点讲解 1. Inside your brain are billions of cells. 在你大脑里面有数十亿的 细胞。 此句是一个倒装句，普通语序是Billions of cells are inside your brain。因为本句表达的重点是“数量之多”，所以将billions of cells放在后面。又如： Between the two buildings stands a tall pine. 两座楼之间有棵大松树。 billions of 意思是“数十亿”，表示一个不确定的大数目 例如： billions of people 数十亿人 如果billion出现在具体数字之后，不用复 数形式，后面也不加of。例如： two billion people 二十亿人 2. Each cell is a thousand times more powerful than a computer! 每个细胞的处理能力比一台电脑强一千倍。 此句是形容词比较级前面加倍数的用法。其结构为： 主语 + be + 倍数+ 形容词比较级 + than + 其它成分。例如： The new method was over ten times more efficient than the traditional one. 新方法比传统方法效率提高十倍以上。 巩固练习 （一）单词拼写。 1.
