2eImagine one of your favorite teachers is leaving. Plan a party for him / her. Answer the questions with a partner.

1. Why is he/she one of your favorite teachers?

2. What do you want to say to him/her?

3. When is the best time to have the party?

6. What kind of drinks would you like to

serve?

7. Who will come to the party?

8. What activities will there be at the party?

9. How can you make the party a surprise for

your teacher?

1. bring v. 带来 Can you bring me an English dictionary?你能给我带来一本英语字典吗？

bring 与 take 的区别：Bring your homework here, and take the book away.把你的作业拿过来，把这本书带走。bring 指带到说话者这来，通常与 here 搭配，而 take 则指从说话者这带走，通常与 away 连用。两者方向相反。

--- Why do Chinese people like red? --- Because they think it can _______ them good luck. A. carry B. bring C. make D. take

答案：选 B 。 点拨： A 表示“搬运，运载”， B 表示“带来”， C 表示“制作”， D 表示“拿走”。根据后句汉意“因为他们认为红色会给他们带来好运。”，可知应取“带来”之意，故选 B 。

______ away the small apples and ______ me some big ones. (1997 年安徽省中考题 ) A. Carry; bring B. Take; bring C. Take; carry D. Carry; take 点拨：此题考查 take 和 bring 表示“带；拿”之意时的区别。通常， take 是指把人或物从说话者的地方带到别处去，这时多跟介词 to 连用，形成 take … to 结构。 而 bring 则是把人或物从别处带到说话者所在的地方。另外， carry 是“搬运；扛”的意 思，且无方向性。故答案是 B 。

2. prepare v. 准备My mother is preparing dinner when I get home every day.每天我回家的时候我妈妈总是在准备晚饭。prepare, prepare for 与 prepare to do sth. 的区别： ①Her husband is preparing the food. 她丈夫正在准备食物。 ②Students are preparing for the test. 学生们正在为考试做准备。 ③They are busy preparing to go on holiday. 他们正在忙着准备休假。

根据句 ①可知： prepare sth. 意为准备某物，所准备的东西就是后面的宾语。根据句 ②可知： prepare for sth. 意为为……做准备，指为后面的宾语做准备，所准备的东西并不是后面的宾语。根据句③可知： prepare to do sth. 意为准备做某事。而 prepare 与 prepare for 通常用于进行时态。 注： prepare 的名词是 preparation (准备；准备工作 )

--- What’s that terrible noise? --- The neighbors ________ for a party. A. prepared B. prepare C. will prepare D. are preparing

D

3. surprised adj. 惊奇的；感觉意外的 Are you surprised to see him alive? 你看到他还活着很惊奇吗？与 surprised 有关的用法：①I’m surprised at the surprising news. 我对这个令人惊讶的消息感到很吃惊。②To my surprise, he left without leaving a word. 令我惊奇的是，他一声不响地离开了。③He looked at me in surprise. 他惊奇地看着我。

根据例句①可知： surprised 与 surprising 都是形容词，但 surprised 通常作表语，用于修饰人，而 surprising 可以作表语也可以作定语，通常修饰物，而“惊奇于某事”为 be surprised at sth. 。根据例句②可知： surprised 的名词是surprise, 而短语“令某人惊奇的是”为 to one’s surprise, 而根据例句③可知： in surprise 意为“惊奇地”。

I’m surprised _______ what you said. A. to B. of C. for D. at

答案：选 D点拨： be surprised at sth. 对……感到惊奇。

4. so that 以便于；目的是 He turned up the radio, so that everyone could hear the news. 他调大收音机的音量，以便所有人能听到这个消息。
