我的疑问：

课内探究&检测：

二．Language points

1. It is estimated that 80% of all conversation in English is small talk.据估计80% 的英语会话是聊天。

It is estimated that...据估计...

it为形式主语, 真正的主语是that引导的从句

类似的结构还有:

It is said that... 据说...

It is known that... 众所周知...

It is thought that...人们认为...

It is believed that...人们相信...

It is hoped that...人们希望...

It is reported that...据报道...

It is suggested that...人们建议...

1） 人们希望中国队赢得这场比赛。 It is hoped that the Chinese team will win the game.

2） 人们建议召开会议来讨论这些问题。

It is suggested that a meeting should be held to discuss the problems.

3） 人们相信这项发明将造福于人类。It is believed that the invention will benefit the world.

2. Imagine a situation where two strangers are talking to each other after someone they both know has left the room。 设想一下两个陌生人都认识的人离开房间之后他们互相交谈的情景。

　　where引导的定语从句, situation是先行词.

　　situation, case, point, internet, stage等表示抽象地点的词作先行词时, 如果定语从句不缺少主要成分, 一般要用关系词where来引导。

　　1）He has got himself into a dangerous situation where he is likely to lose control over the plane. 他陷入一个危险的境地,飞机有可能失去控制。

　　2）I can think of many cases where students knew a lot of English words and expressions but couldn't write a good essay. 我能说出许多例子, (在这些例子中)学生掌握了很多英语词汇和短语, 却写不出好文章。

3）The treatment will continue until the patient reaches the point where he can walk correctly and safely. 治疗要一直坚持到病人能够正常且安全地行走为止。

　　　imagine v. 想象，设想

1）I can't imagine her marrying a man of that sort. 我无法想象她竟能嫁给那种人。

2）Can you imagine how much I was surprised? 你能想象我当时是多么吃惊吗

3．What's the purpose of your visit to London ? 你为什么要参观伦敦？

on purpose 故意地

for the purpose of...为了...的目地
