21、 Students Times of Unit 7 listening exercise. 第 3-4 课时 language 一、定位： input-based，训练各种读与说的语言微技在语言知识中的运用 二、教学环节设计: Step 1:Presentaion: 原因状语从句：由 because, for, as, since 引导 （1）because （因为）的用法： because 通常表示直接的原因。because 引导的从句表示直接而明确的 原因和理由，表示按因果关系的推断，语气很强，用来回答 why 的问 题, 一般位于主句之后。 例：We couldnt go out bec
22、ause it was too cold. 因为天气太冷，我们不 能外出。 .for（因为）的用法： for 是并列连词，引出的原因较间接，似乎是事后所想到的补充解释的 理由，只陈述一般推断的理由，不一定表示产生结果的必然原因，主 要放在两个并列句之间。 例：It must be morning for the birds are singing.一定是清晨了，因为鸟 儿在叫。 注意：下列情况下只能使用 because: 在回答 why 的问句时； 在用于强调句型时； 被 not 所否定时。 （2）as 和 since（因为）的用法: 表示已经知道的原因时用 as 或 since,即某种原因在
23、说话人看来已经很 明显，或已为听话人所熟悉。since 要比 as 正式一些，它们通常被置 于语句之前。 Seeing all of the children already seated, he said,“Since everyone is here, lets start.” Step 2: Consolidation: Get Ss to finish exercise on page 104. Step 3 Presentation of the different usage of Because of and because because 与 because of 的用法比较
24、从词性上看 because 是连词，其后接句子；because of 是复合介词，其后接名词、 代词、动名词、what 从句等。如： I didnt buy it because it was too expensive. 我没有买是因为它太贵了。 He is here because of you (that). 他为你(那事) 而来这里。 He lost his job because of his age. 由于年龄关系他失去了工作。 We said nothing about it, because of his wifes being there. 因为他妻子 在那儿，我们对此只字未
25、提。 He knew she was crying because of what he had said. 他知道她哭是因为 他说的话。 注意：because of 之后可接 what 从句，但不能接 that 从句或没有引 导词的句子。如： 他因病未来。 误：He didnt come because of he was ill. 误：He didnt come because of that he was ill. 正：He didnt come because he was ill. 正：He didnt come because of his illness. 比较以下同义句： 他离
26、开了这家公司，是因为老板在会上讲的话。 正：He left the company because of what the boss said at the meeting. 正：He left the company because of the thing that the boss said at the meeting. 我不能因为有个家就停止斗争。 正：I cant stop fighting because I have a family. 正：I cant stop fighting because of having a family. 从用法上看 because 所引导的从句
27、除用作原因状语外，还可用作表语。如： It is because he loves you. 那是因为他爱你。 而复合介词 because of 所引导的介词短语通常用作状语而不用作表语。 如： 他因雨缺席。 误：His absence was because of the rain. 正：His absence was due to the rain. 正：He was absent because of the rain. 但是有时若主语是代词(不是名词 )，也可以用 because of 引出的短语 作表语。如： It is just because of money. 那只是因为钱的原
