一、 重點詞匯解析
spoil/sp??l/v. 破壞，毀掉；溺愛
詞性：及物動詞
本課含義：破壞（心情、計劃等），區(qū)別于 “損壞物品” 的字面含義
例句：The bad weather spoiled our picnic. 糟糕的天氣毀了我們的野餐。
拓展：過去式 / 過去分詞：spoiled /spoilt
lend/lend/v. 借給，借出
搭配：lend sb. sth. = lend sth. to sb. 把某物借給某人
反義詞：borrow（借入），搭配：borrow sth. from sb.
例句：He lent me his bike yesterday. = He lent his bike to me yesterday.
think about思考；惦記
同義短語：think of（表 “想起” 時可互換；表 “考慮” 時更常用 think about）
例句：She is thinking about her next trip. 她正在琢磨她的下一次旅行。
make a decision作出決定
同義表達：decide to do sth.
例句：He made a decision to study abroad. = He decided to study abroad.
single/?s??ɡl/adj. 單一的；僅一個的
強調(diào) “數(shù)量只有一個”，語氣比 a/an 更強
例句：I don’t have a single friend here. 我在這兒一個朋友也沒有。
二、 核心語法重點
一般過去時的全面運用
本課通篇使用一般過去時，描述過去發(fā)生的一系列動作，標志性時間狀語：last summer
規(guī)則動詞過去式變化：visit → visited; pass → passed; decide → decided
不規(guī)則動詞過去式：go → went; teach → taught; lend → lent; read → read（發(fā)音變 /red/）; get → got; spend → spent
but 引導(dǎo)的轉(zhuǎn)折并列句
結(jié)構(gòu)：簡單句 + but + 簡單句 （前后句語義相反）
課文例句：
I read a few lines,butI did not understand a word.
My holidays passed quickly,butI did not send any cards to my friends.
并列謂語結(jié)構(gòu)
一個主語帶兩個或多個并列的謂語動詞，動作是順承關(guān)系，用 and 連接
課文例句：
Ivisitedmuseums andsatin public gardens.
Igot upearly andboughtthirty-seven cards.
三、 重點句型總結(jié)
send sb. sth. = send sth. to sb.寄給某人某物
例句：Please send me a card. = Please send a card to me.
同類動詞：give, pass, lend, show 等都可用于此雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)
spend + 時間 + 地點花費時間在某地
拓展句型：spend + 時間 + (in) doing sth.? 花費時間做某事
例句：She spent two hours (in) watching TV. 她花了兩小時看電視。
四、 學(xué)習(xí)重點
掌握一般過去時的動詞變形規(guī)則（規(guī)則 / 不規(guī)則），能準確描述過去的事件。
熟記lend/borrow、send/give等雙賓語動詞的用法。
理解but轉(zhuǎn)折句的邏輯關(guān)系，學(xué)會用它表達 “預(yù)期與實際不符” 的場景。
