6、家 spy v. 侦察 track n. 轨迹，踪迹 binoculars n. 双筒望远镱 【知识点讲解】 1. A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. 一个飞行员发现了一只气球，它像是正飞往附近的一个皇家空军基地。 我们来分析一下这个句子的结构。 主语：A pilot 谓语：noticed 宾语：a balloon 后面的which seemed.这是个定语从句，整个从句修饰宾语balloon。 seem to be doing seem接不定式的实行

7、式，表示“似乎正在实行某事”，make for 固定短语，表示“走向，飞向”此外，还可表示“有助于;导致”。 例句： He seems to be waiting for somebody. 他似乎在等什么人。 2. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. 他马上把情况报告了该基地，但那里的人没有一个能解释这到底是怎么回事。 inform v. 通知，告诉，报告 inform不能接双宾语，比如inform sb. sth这种用法是错误的，准确的表达是inform sb.

8、 of sth.例如： She hasnt informed me of her new number. 她还没告诉我新的电话号码。 inform sb. that/wh- 告知某人 inform后面的sb.不能省略。比如： The headmaster informed us that the sports meeting will be held next Monday. 校长通知大家下周一举行运动会。 be able to和can的区别 a. can/could表示水平;可能(过去时用could)，只用于现在式和过去式(could)，而be able to可用于各种时态。 When he

9、 comes, he will be able to tell you the truth. 等他来了就能告诉你事实真相了。(这个句子里不能用can或could代替) b. 只能用be able to的情形 位于助动词后;情态动词后;表示过去某时刻的动作时;用于句首表条件;表示成功做成某事只能用was/were able to，不能用could。例如： The leading actor was able to get out of the house before it exploded. =The leading actor managed to get out of the house

10、before it exploded. 在房子爆炸之前，男主角成功逃离。 c. can表示“水平”时是指现在的水平，过去或将来的水平通常用was/were able to或will/shall be able to表示。 My little nephew was able to go school by himself. 我的小侄子能自己去学校。 I can read the English newspapers. 我能读懂这份英文报纸。 3. because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft. 因为气球有可能给飞机造成极大的危险。 can

11、be. 这里是指一种可能性，can表示可能性时多指一般性或理论上的可能性，而不是某种实际上将要发生或正在发生的可能性，也就是说，can通常不用来表示某种实际发生的可能性或真实性， 当我们要表达发生某事的实际可能性时通常用could(或may，might)。比如： Accoring to the weather forecast, it could rain this afternoon. 根据天气预报，今天下午可能会下雨。 Even experts can make mistakes. 即使是专家也可能会出差错。 may/might/could也可表示在说话时某事可能是真的，比如： You m

12、ight be right. 可能你是对的。 danger danger既可作不可数名词 表示危险，也可作可数名词表示危险物(或人)，威胁。比如： Nowadays, greenhouse effect is a great danger to ecosystem. 现在，温室效应成为生态系统的一大威胁。 常用短语： in danger of 有的危险 in danger 处在危险中 danger area 危险区;危险领域 aircraft 常用作集体名词，也可指一架飞机，所以其复数形式也是aircraft，其含义包括直升机和飞艇等。 4.
