6、nd that by may. In positive statements, can usually expresses “theoretical possibility”, while may expresses “factual possibility”, for example:Mr. Reed is in poor health. He can be ill at any time.Mr. Reed looks pale today. He may be ill.3、contrast between past progressive and simple past. (Page 26
7、)(1) To denote an action in completion, we use the simple past; to denote an action in progress, we use the past progressive. For example: It was a lovely day, and the sun was shining. We often use the past progressive to describe the background and the simple past for the action in story. For examp
8、le: The crowds were waiting. Finally the president came. And we use two simple past verbs for one action after another. For example: When I head the crash, I ran to village.(2) To denote a mere past fact, we use the simple past; to lay emphasis on the duration of the action, we use the past progress
9、ive. For example: he worked/was working all through the night(3) When two actions co-occur in a sentence, the action of shorter duration is to be denoted by the simple past, while that of longer duration by the past progressive, when the shorter action came in the middle of the longer one. For examp
10、le: He was standing in line at the department store when someone tapped him on the shoulder.(4) In colloquial speech, the past progressive is sometimes used to show what one says is causal, unimportant and aimless, whereas the use of the simple past means differently. For example: I was 3talking to
11、Margaret at the other day.(5) Compare the time sequence of the two actions in the following sentences:When we arrived, she was making some fresh coffee.When we arrived, she made some fresh coffee.4、contrast between present perfect and simple past. (Page 27)(1) Always use the present perfect when the
12、 time is not important, or not specified. Always use the simple past when the details about the time or place are specified or asked for. For example: We have been to Ireland. VS hen did you go to Ireland?(2) There is also a difference of attitude that is often more important than the time factor in
13、 simple past and present participle. Thus in situations where either the present perfect or the simple past can be used, it is generally felt that they are interchangeable, but that the present perfect relates the action more directly to the present time.Therefore, present participle can also be reg
14、ard to express two actions.(1) Finish action: It is used to refer to the present result of a past event still operating at the present moment. Usually dynamic, conclusion and resultative verbs are involved. For example: The water in the basin had frozen to ice because of the bitter coldness outside.
15、Note difference: I read the book. (progress) VS I have read the book. (result)Note: When we want to give or ask details about when, where, who, we use the simple past. Example: He read War and Peace last week.(2)Unfinished action: If refers to the fact that an action or state extend over a period la
16、sting up to the present moment, possibly extending into the future as well.5. He is foolish and He is being foolish.6. A charming lady and a charmed lady. (Page 148-14)The meaning of participle adjectives may be active or passive, -ing participle adjectives usually have active meanings, and ed forms
17、 passive meaning.So the first sentence means that the lady is attractive while the second sentence means that the lady is attracted by something.7. “hear sb do” and “hear sb doing”. (Page 64)If we say “I heard somebody do something”, we mean that somebody did something and I heard it. I heard the co
18、mplete action from beginning to end.If we say “I heard somebody doing something”, we mean that somebody was doing something and I heard it. I heard somebody when she or he was in the middle of doing something. I hear only part of it.8. “regret to do” and “regret doing” 从句子结构上区分。“to do” in the “regre
19、t to do” is regarded as the purpose of adverbial element. Whereas “regret + doing” constitutes verb-object relationship.简答题1. the use of passive voice (Page 77-81)(1) Verb constraintsNot all verbs can occur in the passive. Apart from linking and intransitive verbs, which have no objects, can not tak
20、e the passive form, some transitive verbs do not occur in some sense, in the passive either. Verbs of this kind are called middle verbs or static verbs, including have, become, hold, etc. For example: we have friends all over the world. (Not Friends are had all over the world.)4Other verbs can only
21、be used in active voice include survive, let, race, get, flee, fit, escape, hold, equal, own, contain, etc. but some other static verbs such as hose of volition or attitude can be found in the passive easily: The police want him. He is wanted by police.Some transitive phrasal verbs also do not have
22、passives. For example: Taiwan belongs to China.There are also passive verbs such as be born, be reputed, be supposed that have no actives. Some verbs function either as action verb or as static verbs, for example: measure, weigh, fit, and cost. We can use them in the passive only when they are thoug
23、ht of as action verbs.The passive becomes much rarer in combinations with other complex verb constructions such as modal auxiliaries, perfect, progressive and modal progressive, perhaps because of an avoidance of awkwardness of be being sequence.(2) Object constraintsWhether an active sentence can t
24、urn into the passive is also determined by the form of the object. While an object noun phrasal can easily be turned into the subject of passive sentence, a noun-finite clause cannot, for example: I intended to see you. (Not) To see you was intended.Coreference between a subject and a noun phrase ob
25、ject blocks the passive correspondence. This occurs with reflective pronouns, reciprocal pronouns and possessive pronouns:He taught himself English.(3) Meaning ConstraintsPassive sentence are often used when the speaker dose not know who the agent of the action is, or when he think it is unnecessary
26、 or untactful to mention the agent of the action. In context devoid of semantic intentions of this kind, it is necessary to use the active form, for example: Ive been robbed! (someone robed me)There are also some SVO constructions which cannot be transformed into passive without change of meaning. F
27、or example: She cant teach John. (= she is unable to teach John)The active and passive correspondences are not always of the same meaning especially when quantifiers and modal auxiliaries are involved: Every student knows one play of Shakespeare at least. One play of Shakespeare at least is known by
28、 every student.The shift from active to passive may change the meaning not only of modal construction but also of the perfective aspect: My grandfather has bought the house for me. The house has been bought for me by grandfather.When both the subject and the object are generic, there will be some di
29、fference between the active construction and its passive counterparts: Pandas eat bamboo. Bamboo is eaten by panda.(4) Context ConstraintsSometimes the passive form is used to avoid an awkward change of the subject in the middle of a sentence, for example: The Prime Minister arrived back in London l
30、ast night and immediately besieged by reporters.And at other times, the passive is used to achieve a better connection with the preceding and the following sentences, for example: The hunter fired at the bear and the bear was shot dead.(5) Genre ConstraintsGenerally speaking, the passive is more com
31、monly used in informative than in imaginative writing, and is notably more frequent in the objective, impersonal style of scientific article, historical facts, news reporting and legal documents. Impersonal style is also often employed out of modesty or when some unpleasant statement has to made, fo
32、r example: These books must be returned to the library by the date above.52. There are three types of explicit cohesion.1) Logical DevicesTransitional words or phrases are usually exploited to show time, place, reason, addition, comparison, contrast, emphasis, exemplification, result, summary, etc.
33、They include conjunctions, adverbial conjunctions, preposition phrases and other elements.2) Grammar Devices(1) Ellipsis: Ellipsis, omission of an utterance or grammatical structure, is a common means of explicit cohesion, usefully avoiding unnecessary repetition, eg.You like swimming and Mary (like
34、s) jogging. (verb)(2) SubstitutionSubstitution involves the replacement of one expression by another, which stands for it.(3) Co-referenceCo-reference describes the relations between two nominal groups that have the same reference. It is often defined in terms of the means of referring to something
35、elsewhere in the text.3) Lexical Devices(1) Lexical reiterationLexical reiteration is a means of cohesion achieved through the repetition of key words, or through the use of synonyms, near-synonyms, hyponyms and general words, so that the theme of the text is highlighted. Some even argued the use of antonyms also achieve cohesion.Synonyms and antonyms can also function as coherent device.(2) Lexical collocation: Words which usually in certain situation (in a classroom, in the post office, in the bank) belong to a collocation and they may play a coherent role in a text.
