M4 Unit2 Reading
Language points:
1. (Line 1) I am delighted to have been invited to …….the Olympic Games.
句型：sb. + be + adj. / v-ed 形式+ to have done sth. 謂語動詞等常用被動語態，不定式完成式表示該動作發生在謂語動詞之前。
e.g. _________________________________________. 有人認為他正在進行一項秘密的實驗。
2. (Line 6)They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years.
Every 當「每;每隔」講時，不能用each 替換;every後可用few，但不能接a few, 也不可接some，several， many等詞;every可與「other+單數名詞連用」。
每;每隔：Every + 基數詞 + 複數名詞
Every + 序數詞 + 單數名詞
Every other + 單數名詞
Every few + 複數名詞
e.g. ________________ 每四天，每隔三天 __________________每三天，每隔兩天 __________________每隔一天 ____________________每隔幾天
3. (Line 9) At the ancient games, the athletes were all men and they had to
compete wearing no clothes.
古代奧運會的運動員都是男性，而且他們必須裸體競技。
wearing no clothes 是現在分詞短語，在從句中作________，修飾_________，表示伴隨情況。
現在分詞短語經常作狀語，表示時間、原因、伴隨情況或起補充說明作用等。
_____________________, he nodded from time to time. (時間) 他一邊讀書，一邊不時地點頭。
________________, he could not go to the film. (原因) 因為忙，他不能去看電影。
He hurried home, ____________________________ as he went. (伴隨情況) 他趕緊回家，一邊走一邊不時地向後看。
4. (Line 14) Today, athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what language they speak.
from around 兩個介詞連用，表示更具體的內容。(He appeared _______________the tree.)
no matter what 相當於______________, 引導讓步狀語從句。
________________/___________________, don’t open the door. 無論誰敲門，都不要開。
_________________/___________________, do it well. 無論做什麼，都要把它做好。
5. (Line 16) It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who restarted the Olympics.
「It was…… who……」為強調句型結構，強調的是a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin作_______________的同位語。
1) 「It + be +被強調部分+ who/that……」
e.g. It was I who/that saw him in the street yesterday. (主語)昨天是我在街上看見了他。
It was in the street that I saw him yesterday. (地狀)我昨天是在街上看見他的。
2) 一般疑問句形式：Be + it +被強調部分+ who/that……
3) 特殊疑問句形式：特殊疑問詞(被強調部分)+ be + it + who/that……
4) not until 的強調句式：It be not until …… that +……..
E.g. _____________________ you graduated? 你是2008年畢業的嗎?
___________________ you got home last night? 昨天晚上你是什麼時候到家的?
______________________________ that I __________ she was a famous film star.
直到她摘下墨鏡我才認出她是一位著名的電影明星。
6. (Line 17)His dream was that …… make it possible ……side by side.

我們足球隊贏得比賽的消息鼓舞人心。
________________________we are invited to a concert this evening. (主語從句)
我們被邀請去參加今晚的音樂會，這對我們來說是個好消息。
2)「make it + adj./n. + (for sb.) to do sth.」 it 是______賓語，不定式是真正的賓語。用於此句型的動詞還有 think, find, believe, feel, suppose, consider等。
e.g. He ______________________ those in trouble. 他認為幫助有困難的人是他的責任。
They have made ______ a rule _______ in the room
A. this; not to smoking B. it; smoking C. it; not to smoke D. it; not smoking
7. (Line 19) Now people……and among them are many well-known athletes.
此處為倒裝結構，英語中，作表語的介詞短語、形容詞和過去分詞置於句首時，句子要用完全倒裝語序。
e.g. _________________________ Christmas trees, flowers, candles and toys.
商品中有聖誕樹、花、蠟燭和玩具。
_____________________________ some teachers and students.
出席會議的人包括一些教師和學生。
_____________________ when women were looked down upon.
婦女受歧視的年代一去不復返了。
8. (Line 45) At the 2004 … Liu Xiang …the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men’s 110-metre hurdles.
該句中的 the first 與 to win the gold medal…均作定語修飾名詞Asian。英語中當一個名詞或代詞前有序數詞或形容詞最高級修飾時，若在需要後置定語，則要用動詞不定式的一般式。
