Warming up by dictation The Million Pound Note is a satisfying adaptation of a satirical short story by Mark Twain. Henry Adams, an impecuni
4、ous American lives by his wits in London. Henry becomes the object of a wager between millionaire brothers Oliver and Roderick Montpelier, who want to find out if a man with a million pound note in his bank account could live comfortably for one month on the strength of that note-without ever spendi
5、ng a penny of it. When Henry is given the note and lets it be known that he has it, every courtesy imaginable is extended to him by hoteliers, restaurateurs, etc. Trouble brews when Henry uses the notes reputation to speculate on the stock market. When his creditors demand that he produce the note a

Learning about grammarRead and identify Noun clauses Like phrases, subordinate clauses can perform the function of the various
7、parts of speech such as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. A subordinate clause which functions as a noun is called a noun clause and can serve as a(an): Subject Direct Object Indirect Object Predicate Noun Object of a Preposition Object Complement Appositive to a Subject or Object Scan the text for ex
8、amples of Noun clauses as the object and predictive. 4. Studding the ready used materials for Noun clauses as the object and predictive 1. Example of a noun clause functioning as a direct object We discovered his arrogance. “Arrogance” is the object of “discovered.” We discovered what he had asked h
9、er. The clause “what he ha d asked her” is the object of the verb “discovered” in this sentence. 2. Example of a noun clause functioning as an indirect object We showed the professor the error. “The professor” in this sentence is the indirect object, and “the error” is the direct object. She gave ev
10、ery little error her full attention. The noun clause “every little error” is the indirect object, and “her full attention” is the direct object. Remember that the direct object should answer the question, “What did she gi ve?” while the indirect object answers, “To whom (or what) did she give it?” 3
11、.Example of a noun clause functioning as a predicate noun (Remembe r that a predicate noun is a subject complement that renames the subject.) The insult was his audacity. “Audacity” is an abstract noun which is subject complement (predicate noun) of the subject “insult.” The insult was that he had e
12、ven asked her. The clause “that he had even asked her” is the predicate noun (subject complement) of this sentence. 4. Example of a noun clause functioning as an object of a preposition. She found fault in his question. “Question” is the object of the preposition “in.” She found fault in what he had
13、 asked her. The clause “what he had asked her” is the object of the preposition “in” in this sentence. 5. Example of a noun clause functioning as an object complement. You can call him a scoundrel. The word “scoundrel” is an object complement that describes the direct object “him.” You can call him
14、what you wish. The clause “what you wish” can take the place of “scoundrel” as object complement. 5. 宾语从句小结 宾语从句在句中作及物动词或介词（如 except，but，besides 等）的宾语。 I know nothing about her except that she lives next door. 我只知道她住在隔壁房间。 注：（1）主句的谓语是 make，find ，see ，hear 等，且带有复合宾语时，可把宾语从句置 于宾补之后，用 it 作形式宾语。 I find
15、it necessary that we practice spoken English every day. 我发现每天练习英语口语是必要的。 （2）许多描述情感的形容词（happy，glad，afraid ，pleased ，sorry ，surprised 等） ，或表示 确信无疑的形容词（certain，sure 等）后可带宾语从句。 Im afraid （that）weve sold out of tickets. 对不起，我们的票已 经卖完了。 （3）在表思想和感觉的动词（believe，imagine ，suppose ，think ，expect 等）之后，可以 把从句上的否定
16、形式转移到这些谓语动词上来。 I dont believe shell arrive before 7. 我不相信她会在 7 点以前到达。 二、直接引语和间接引语。 直接引语引述别人的原话，放在引号内。 间接引语用自己的话转述别人的意思，不用引号，常用宾语从句表达。 (1)陈述句变为以 that（常可省略）引导的宾语从句。 He said， “I am very glad.”他说： “我很高兴。 ” He said that he was very glad.他说他很高兴。 （2）一般疑问句变为以 if（whether）引导的宾语从句。一般地， if 和 whether 引导宾语从 句时可换用
17、。 I dont know whether（if）you can help me.我不知道你是否能帮助我。 但下列情况一般用 whether，不用 if。 1)后面紧跟 or not 时。 Mary asked me whether or not she should come.玛丽问我她是否应该来。 2)介词之后时。 She was wo rried about whether she passed the exam 她担心考试是否及格了。 3）动词 discuss、argue 等之后时。 We discussed whether we should send the students to
18、 the conference. 我们讨论是否派学生去参加会议。 4）与不定式连用时。 She is not sure whether to stay or not. 她不能确定是否留下。 5）宾语从句置于句首时。 Whether he lives there，I want to know. 我想知道她是否住在那儿。 6）可能造成歧义时。 Let me know whether you can come 告诉我你是否能来。 (若用 if，除了上述宾语从句意义外，还可理解成条件状语从句，译为：如果你要来，请通 知我。) （3）特殊疑问句变为以 wh-/h-等疑问词引导的宾语从句。 （注意从句要用
19、陈述句语序） He said,“where is Mr Green？”他说：“格林先生在哪？” He asked where Mr Green was. 他问格林先生在哪里。 在名词性从句中，what 既引导该从句，又在其中作句子成分时，what 常可转换成 the thing（s）+that 定语从句。 She told me what she had done .（宾语从句） She told me the things that she had done.（定语从句）她告诉我她做了什么。 三、宾语从句谓语动词的时态。 (1)若主句谓语动词为一般现在时和一般将来时，宾语从句的动词可根据句意
20、用任何时态。 Will you tell me how you learned English well？告诉我你怎么学好英语的好么？ I think he ll be back in an hour.我想一小时后他会回来的。 (2)若主句谓语动词为过去时时，从句的动词需用跟过去有关的时态。 I thought they were having lessons 我想他们正在上课。 She said she had done her homework 她说她已做完作业。 （3）宾语从句表达客观真理，不论主句是什么时态，从句都用一般现在时。 The teacher told us light tr
21、avels faster than sound 老师告诉我们光的速度比声音快。 6. 复习表语从句 1. 从属连词 that（一般不省略为好） ，whether（不用 if） ，as if（though）等引导的表语从 句。 The reason（ why ） she hasnt come is that（此处不可用 because）she has to send her mother to a hospital.她没来是因为她必须送母亲去医院。 The question is whether the work is worth doing. 问题是这项工作是否值得做。 It looks as
22、 if it is going to rain. 天好像要下雨似的。 2. 连接代词 what，which ，who ，whom，whose 等引导的表语从句。 This is what I want to say. 这就是我想说的。 3. 连接副词 when，where，how ，why 等引导的表语从句。 This is how we overcome the difficulties. 这就是我们克服困难的方法。 7Consolidating by taking a quiz 1 I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week .
