【拓展】shame 还可以用作可数名词，意为“耻辱；羞耻”。如：He has no shame. 他毫无羞耻之心。
【考点12】含有I think…的句子，若要变否定句，要否定I think，而不是否定后边的句子。这种现象在英语中叫“否定转移”。如果主句的主语是第一人称I或we时，并且谓语动词为think, believe, imagine, suppose, consider, expect, feel, find, guess等表示心理活动的词时，如果宾语从句是否定的，一般要将否定词not转移到主句的谓语动词上，而将宾语从句变成肯定形式，即否定转移。否则，变否定句看从句。如：
I believe he will come.（变否定句）→I don’t believe he will come. 我相信他不会来。

知识点09I can work in the library and I’m also able to read books there. 我可以在图书馆干活儿，而且还能在那里看书。
【考点13】【辨析】be able to与can的用法辨析：
①表示能力，can相当于be able to，两者意思相同，都表示“能，会”， can 只能用于现在时和过去时（could），但是be able to 还可用于将来时和完成时（通常不用于进行时或be going to 连用）。如：
I can run fast.=I am able to run fast. 我能跑得很快
He couldn’t answer the question.=He wasn’t able to answer the question. 他不能回答这个问题。
No one has been able to do it. 没有人能做这件事。// He is / was / will be able to help you. 他能帮你的忙。
②表示过去一般性能力，用could 和was(were) able to 均可，但若表示过去特定场合的能力，则通常用was (were) able to，而不用could。如：
I could swim when I was only six. 我刚六岁就能游泳。
I was able to swim to the bank after the boat turned over. 船翻了以后，我就能游到岸边去了。
③be able to 强调通过努力而获得的能力，而can则强调自身已具有的能力。如：
She can sing the song in English. 她能用英语唱这首歌。
He will be able to sing this song in English in a few minutes, too. 几分钟之后，他也能用英语唱这首歌。
④can可用于表示可能性，推测，允许等情况，而be able to通常不这样用。如：

知识点10No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won’t have time to study. 托尼，这不行。如果你老是做这些与学习无关的事，你就没时间学习了。
【考点14】No deal表示不同意，意为“不可以；没商量；这不行”，deal作名词，意为“协议”。在口语表达中，我们常用deal表示“达成协议”的意思。如：
---- You wash the car and I’ll let you use it tonight. 你洗车，我今晚就让你用车。 ---- Deal! 说定了！

【考点17】increase既可作动词，也可作名词。increase在本句话中做及物动词，意为“增大，增加，增强”；此外它也可做不及物动词，意为“增大，增加，增强”，与increase搭配的短语：increase by+倍数/百分数，意为“增加了……”，increase to+具体增长后的数字，意为“增加到……”，on the increase正在增加；作名词时，既可作可数名词，也可作不可数名词，increase作名词，意为“增大，增长”。如：

题组C 培优拔尖练
Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles(奋斗)of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists’ personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein(爱因斯坦)ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution(迫害). The last group read about the scientists? intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie’s failed scientific tests. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles(障碍).
The students took a science exam before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn’t see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures(失败).
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The“great minds”also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.
Xiaodong says today’s science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.

A.reading the achievements of great scientists more carefully
B.listening more carefully to their physics and chemistry teachers
C.learning about how great scientists dealt with their obstacles
2.All of the students who took part in the study　　　.
