FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new，and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between
progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.

Big challenges. however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity，and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests.Water from the dam would likely damage a number of tempos and destroy cutural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem and citizens who lived near the dam, the govemment turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cutural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue.
conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved.Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together goverments and environmentalists from around the word, Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again
in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961,German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years.thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the proiect.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to bud a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today.Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO，which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the word from disappearing. If a problem seems too diffcult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.

There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future.新旧更替的时代已经到来，在走向未来的过程中，我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。
There comes a time when…这个句子中包含了由when引导的限制性定语从句，修饰的是先行词a time。如：
This is a time when people can get a lot of information from the Intemet.这是一个可以从互联网上获得大量信息的时代。
give way to sth顺从；让步
The company finally gave way to the customer’s complaints.面对顾客的投诉，公司最终还是让步了。
【思考】动词give的常见搭配有很多，你还知道哪些并能用它们造句吗？
2 the Nile尼罗河
又称Nile River,是世界上最长的河流，自南向北穿过撒哈拉沙沙，流贯非洲东北部，注入地中海。在第一瀑布处修建的阿斯旺大坝，有灌溉、防洪、发电、运输等作用。尼罗河对沿岸各国的经济生活具有重要意义，其下游谷地和三角洲是世界古文明发祥地之一。
3 the United Nations联合国
联合国是第二次界大战之后为维护和平与安全而建立的国际组织，成立于1945年10月24日，总部设在纽约。《联合国宪章》规定，联合国作为协调各国行动的中心，宗旨是维护国际和平与安全，发展各国之间的友好关系，促进国际合作。联合国的主机构有6个：联合国大会、安全理事会、联合国经济及社会理事会、托管理事会、国际法院和秘书处。在国际事务中，联合国发挥非需重要的作用。
4 Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.这些国家不仅找到了一条不以牺牲古迹为代价的末来发展之路，而且明白了多个国家合作创造美好未来的可能性。
这是一个由not only…but also…所连接的复合句。not only…but also…表示“不仅……而且……,既可以用来连接两个名词、代词或短语，也可以用来连接两个句子。本句中连接的就是两个句子。第一个句子以词组 not on开始，动动词had被提到了主语 he countries之前，形成了倒装句。此句也可写成：The countries had not only found a path…..，but had also leamt that…..
短语动词 run over原本有“(车辆)撞倒并辗轧”之意。如：
It was so sad that the little puppy was run over and killed.那只小狗被撞倒轧死了，这真让人难过。
run over还有“翻阅；快速阅读”的意思。如：
The teacher ran over his teaching notes before giving his lesson.老师上课前很快看了一遍教案。
这个短语动词在上述例句中形象地表示“损毁”“遗忘”(古迹)的思意思。
5 UNESCO联合国教科文组织
英文全称 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizaton(联合国教有、科学及文化组织),是联合国系统的专门机构之一，成立于1945年，总部设在法国巴黎。中国是该组织的创始国之一。其宗旨是推动各国在教育、科学和文化方面的交流与合作，促进各国人民之问的相互了解和世界的和平与稳定。

STRONGER TOGETHER
HOW WE HAVE BEEN CHANGED
BY THE INTERNET


1 At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company.50岁时，她发觉自己失业了，困在家里，只有电脑相伴。
此句结构为“find+宾语+宾补”， out of work和 stuck at home是句子的宾语补足语，说明宾语herself的处境。 With only her computer to keep her company是"with+名词+to do”结构，在句中做stuck的伴随状语。
find oneself…不知不觉间发现自己……。如:
I walked and walked along the street, and about 30 mirutes later, I found myself at the school gate.我在街上走啊走，大约半小时之后我发现自己来到了学校大门口。
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a hospital bed.当她醒来的时候，她发现自己在趟在一家医院的病床上。
【思考】你能再举出几个“find+宾语+真补”的例句吗？
2 She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance that usually exists between people.她意识到互联网的最大好处之一就是能够消除常存在于人和人之间的距离感。
这是一个复合句， realised之后由that引导了一个宾语从句，宾语从句中 one of the greatest benefits of the Intemet是主语， is ability是表语，被动词不定式短语 to remove the distance that usually exists between people所修饰，动词不定式短语中又包含了由that引起的定语从句，修饰 the distance。
【思考】你能在本单元中找出更多从句中包含从句的例句吗？
3 She was so inspired by the people she met online that she decided to start an IT club to teach older people how to use computers and the Internet..她受到网友的启发，决定成立一个T俱乐部来教年长一些的人们学习使用电脑和互联网。
句中的 she met online是一个省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰前面的名词 the people。
so…that…如此……以至于…。如：
She was so worried about the safety of her son that she coudn’t fall asleep he whole night.她如此担心儿子安危以至于整宿没睡着觉。
4 She believes that it is highly important to bridge the digital divide and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology. 她认为，消除数字鸿沟、确保每人都能使用互联网井且知晓如何运用新技术，是非常重要的。
本句中的 bridge、divde和 access 既可以用作名词又可以用作动词。 bridge一般用作名词，本句中作动词，意思是“架起桥梁、消除(隔阂)。如：
Cultura exchanges a buliding bridgas between different areas and countries.文化交流正在不同地区和国家之间建立纽带。(用作名词)
She is trying her best to bridge the generation gap with her mother.她在努力消除和妈妈之间的代沟。(用作动词)
divide多用作动词，此处用作名词，意思是“差异；分歧”。如：
There is clear dide between the two countries on that issue.在那个问題上两个国家存在明且的分岐
access?在句中作名词，思是“使用的）机会或权利”。如
People in big cities usually have a better access to good resources.大城市的人们通常有更多机会使用好的资源。

根据体裁类型不同，常见的音乐可分为古典音乐(classical music)、流行乐(pop musc)、摇滚乐( ock music)等
classical music古典音乐，泛指过去时代具有典范意义或代表性的音乐(不包括民间音乐)。有时专指欧洲19世纪初以前的专业音乐创作。
Pop(popular)music流行音乐是相对于严肃音乐、古典音乐而言的一种结构短小、内容通俗、形式活泼，并受大众喜爱的歌曲。其题材大多取自现实生活，表现手法自由，旋律易记易唱，节奏强烈清晰。
country music乡村音乐有时被称为(美国的)乡村与西部音乐，是一种美国流行音乐，常与美国的乡村文化、南方地区联系在一起，兼具英国民间音乐、美国南方乡村的布鲁斯、19世纪晚期的流行音乐和宗教音乐等元素。
Jazz爵士乐是一种流行音乐，19世纪后期起源于美国，融合了美国黑人音乐、布鲁斯、欧洲曲调及传统和声等而逐步发展起来。即兴演奏是爵士乐的关键元素之一。
rock music摇滚乐是发源于20世纪50年代的美国通倍音乐形式，由美国素人音乐、美国乡村音乐和西方古典音乐发展而来。
hip-hop music嘻哈乐是综合说唱乐、涂鸦、街舞等当今流行元素而创作的一种音乐。
3 Moved by this music，he sald," It was like seeing color for the first time.”他被这段音乐打动了，他说：“(兴奋的)感觉就如同是第一次看见色彩一样。”
moved by this music是过去分词短语，在句中作状语，用于说明原因，相当于 As Eric was moved by this music,它对主句动作起到修饰作用，表明主语是在被音乐打动后发出了感慨。
【思考】文中还有哪些句子使用了动词过去分词作状语？

UNICEF全称为 United Nations Internationa Children' s Emergency Fund(联合国儿童基金会)，成立于1946年12月，总部在纽约，旨在为二战中遭受严重破坏的国家儿宝提供紧急的食物和医疗救援。1950年其职责延伸至关注和解决发展中国家妇女和儿童面临的长期问题，1963年成为联合国常设机构之一，并将名称中的 international和 emergency两个单词去掉，从而简化为 United Nations Children's Fund,但仍保留了原首字母缩写形式。
6 Altogether, 2, 292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”。总共有来自80个国家的2,292名青年参与演唱惠塔克的歌曲《假如》。
altogether,总共，共计。如：

Grammar语法

I Restrictive Relative Clauses限制性定语从句(3)
第一册介绍了定语从句的定义、功能、关系代词和关系副词的种类和用法以及“介词+关系代词”的用法。
根据定语从句与先行词的关系紧密程度不同，可将定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。一般说来，限制性定语从句在意义上是先行词不可缺少的定语，如果省略，所修饰的先行词往往不明确，这种定语从句前面一般不用逗号；而非限制性定语从句往往是对先行词的附加说明，为先行词提供补充信息，即使去掉，也不会影响先行词的明确性，它与主句之间通常用逗号隔开。如：
We knew the scientist who had studied the problem.我们了解那个研究过该问題的科学家。(若把从句去掉，则不明白是哪位科学家)
We knew the physical scientist Hawkins, who had studied the problem.我们了解物理科学家霍金斯，他研究过该问题。(若把从句去掉，仍然知道是哪位科学家)
非限制性定语从句会在后面的册次详细介绍，本册进一步介绍有关限制性定语从句的知识。
1在much或all后用that,不用 which,作定语从句的宾语时可以省略。例如：
There was not much (that)we could do when it was raining.
That is all that works.
2关系代词作动词的间接宾语时，用to或for。例如：
√Who is the girl that he gave the flower to?
×Who is the girl that he gave the flower?
无关系代词时，也要用to或for。例如：
The lady I wrote the poem for was my sister.
3正式英语中，介词可置于从句之首，whom或whih之前。例如：
This is the great writer to whom our teacher was refering.
He asked a question to which there was no answer.
注意，介词不可置于who或that之前。
4定语从句的谓语如果是以介词结尾的短语动词，则不可把介词移至从句之首。例如：
He recelved the email he was looking forward to.
II The Passive Voice被动语态
大家在初中阶段已经学习了被动语态的构成和用法、一般现在时、一般过去时以及含有情态动词的被动语态，本册继续学习有关被动语态的知识。
1现在进行时的被动语态(the present continuous passive voice)的构成(以动词adk为例)

2现在完成时的被动语态( the present perfect passive voice)的构成(以动词ask为例)

3短语动词的被动语态
短语动词是一种固定的词组，由“动词+副词”或“动词+副词+介词”构成，其作用相当于一个动词。
“及物动词+副词”“及物动词+介词”以及“及物动词+副词+介词”构成的短语动词可用于被动结构。
例如：
At last they put out the fire.→At last the fire was put out.
Have you sent for a doctor?→Has the doctor been sent for?
My classmates caught up with me in this exam.→I was caught up with by my classmates in this exam.
许多“不及物动词+介词”以及“不及物动词+副词+介词”构成的短语动词相当于及物动词，也可以有宾语，也可用于被动结构。例如：
The boys laughed at him for the foolish missyake.→ He was laughed at for the foolish mistake.
They looked down on peasants in the old days.→Peasants were looked down on in the old days.
注意：短语动词是一个不可分割的整体，在变为被动语态时，不可丢掉构成短语动词的介词或剧词。
4带有双宾语的句子在变为被动结构时，这两个宾语的任何一个都可作被动句的主语。例如：
The teacher gave the student a new book.→
The student was given a new book (by the teacher).主动句的间接宾语成了被动句的主语，直接宾语仍位于动词之后。
A new book was given to the student (by the teacher).主动句的直接宾语成了被动句的主语，间接宾语可位于to或for之后。
5带有复合宾语的句子变为被动结构时，宾语补足语要相应变为主语补足语。例如：
Everybody called her Big Sister.→She was called Big Sister (by everybody).
People last saw the lost girl paying near the river.→
The lost gril was last seen paying near the river.
要注意，主动语态中作宾语补足语的不带to的不定式，在变为被动语态时必须to。例如：
The engineer made the robot clean the windows of the tall building.→
The robot was made to clean the windows of the tall bulding.
lll Past Participles过去分词(1)(2)
非谓语动词主要指动词不定式(Infinitives)、动词-ing形式(The -ing form)和过去分词(Past participles)三种动词形式。初中阶段已介绍过动词不定式和-ing形式的部分用法。高中阶段除了继续介绍这两种非谓语动词形式的用法，还要介绍动词的过去分词的用法。
规则动词的过去分词由动词原形加-ed构成。不规则动词的过去分词没有统一的构成规则。过去分词一般表示完成的和被动的动作。过去分词在句子中一般可以用作定语(the attrbute)、宾语补足语（the obiect complement)、表语( the predicative)和状语( the aderbial),但不能单独构成谓语。
