六. 重點、難點講解：
1. How do you get to school?
I ride my bike. / I walk to school.
（1）“how”提問，意為“如何”、“怎樣”。此處詢問交通方式。表示不同交通方式可用本課出現(xiàn)一系列動詞短語，如：ride a bike, take a bus, drive a car, fly to, take the subway, take a train, take a plane, take a boat / ship, walk to 等。也可用介詞短語，如：by bus / bike / car / train / plane （air）/ ship, on foot 等，注：此用法在介詞短語前需用動詞作句子主語，如go / come / get to 等，且by后表交通工具的名詞前無任何限定詞，如冠詞the , a/ an 或代詞my / his / this / that 等。
例：
He takes the bus to school. = He goes / gets to school by bus.
We decided to go there on feet. = We decided to walk there.
－How will you go to England?
－By air, or maybe by train. I’m not quite sure.
（2）與“how”有關的提問總結如下：
How far （詢問距離）多遠；How long（問時間或長度）多久，多長；How many（問數(shù)量，后跟可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式）多少；How much （問不可數(shù)名詞數(shù)量，也可問價格）多少；How often（問頻率）多久一次；How soon（指將來時間，時間長短）多久；How about …? （問同上話題，另一情景如何、怎樣后跟名詞、代詞或動名詞，等于What about …? ）征求對方意見…怎樣？How do you like…? = What do you think of …? （征求對方對某事物的看法）你認為…怎樣？
此外“how”可以引導感嘆句，如：How delicious Chinese dishes are! How nice your new scarf is! How fast he runs!
注：引導感嘆句時語序為：How + adj. / adv. +主語+謂語！
（3）get to 表“到達”，同意短語“arrive in / at ”, reach.
注：在副詞home, here, there前不使用介詞to / in / at 等。
到家：get （back）home, 到那兒：get there
2. It takes about 25 minutes to walk and 10 minutes by bus.
（1）固定句型：It took / takes / will take sb. some time to do sth.
表“做某事花去某人多長時間”，動詞take隨時態(tài)變化，it為形式主語，真正主語是句中不定式部分。“take”指“花費（時間）。”
例：It took the builders about 15 years go finish that big project.
It takes me half an hour to get to my office from home every day.
Doing homework takes us most of our spare time on schooldays.
（2）take指“帶走”時與“bring”（帶來）互為反義詞。
take sb. to …帶某人去某處
例：The early bus takes him to school.
（3）短語：take a walk / shower / seat / rest take one’s temperature, take medicine
3. Lin Fei’s home is about 10 kilometers from school.
be +距離＋（away）＋from…“距離…多遠”。
4. He has a quick breakfast, then he leaves for school.
（1）“have”作“吃（飯）”、“喝（飲料）”意思。
have breakfast /lunch /supper 注：三餐飯前無限定詞。
（2）leave for +目的地，指“離開去往某處”
The scientists will leave for Antarctic （南極）next Wednesday.
5. The bus ride takes about 25 minutes.
“ride”此處的名詞，意為“車程”。ride用作動詞短語：ride a bike / horse騎自行車（騎馬），ride in a bus / ship乘公共汽車（船）
6. In other parts of the world, things are different.
other: 后常限可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，意為“其他的，其余的”
other: （形容詞）“其它的”，后跟可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)
others: （代詞）泛指“他人（物）”
the others: （一定范圍中）“其他人（物）”，相當于代詞
the other: 用于固定短語“one …, the other…”“（兩者中）一個…另一個…”
another: （形容詞）“另一個”“另一”，后跟可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，也可能跟復數(shù)，（代詞）“另一個”
7.
“雖然”，“盡管”，表讓步連詞，常引導讓步狀語從句。注，不可與but在一句話中前后同時使用。
Although / Though he is the youngest, he is the most hard-working student in his class.
8. depend on / upon “依靠，依賴”，后跟名詞、代詞或賓語從句，不定式。
例：In China, it depends on where you are.
It depends on how to think about it.
對于提問，不能一概回答時，可以用“It depends”來回答，意為“得因情況而論”。例：
－Do you like reading books or reading on the Internet?
－It depends. Sometimes I like reading books, sometimes I prefer reading on the Internet.
9. In places where there are rivers and lakes, like Hongshanhu and Kaishandao, students usually go to school by beat.
（1）此句中“where”引導一個定語從句，修飾表地點的名詞“places”。通常“who”引導修飾人的定語從句，that或which引導指物的定語從句，whose指人物關系。
例：She is the girl who played guitar at the party.
He showed us an English story book which is bought in the United States.
Kate is talking with her art teacher whose painting is on show in the city hall.
（2）“l(fā)ike”此處為介詞，意為“例如，像…”。注意區(qū)分like在文中的詞性。sound like / be like / look, like 短語中“l(fā)ike”為介詞。
10. That must be a lot more fun than taking a bus!
（1）“than”表比較連詞，意為“比…”“較之于…”，前需用形容詞或副詞比較級。
（2）主語“that”指代前文整句話。
11. Don’t worry.
（1）祈使句否定形式為：Don’t + 動詞原形。
（2）worry為動詞，worried為形容詞，worry也可用作名詞，“煩惱、擔憂”。
例：Don’t be late / careless next time.
Don’t be nervous. Take it easy.

Traffic is a big problem in many cities around the world. Traffic is especially bad during rush hour－the time when people go to work or school and the time when they go home. Many people take buses, subways, or trains to work, but many other people drive their cars. As a result, the streets are very busy, and traffic is very bad.
Many cities are trying to solve their traffic problems. Some cities are building more roads. Other cities are expanding their bus and subway systems.
Many cities are trying to reduce the number of cars on their roads. Some highways have carpool lanes－special lanes for cars with two, three, or more people. In some cities, people drive their cars only on certain days of the week. For example, in Athens, people with license plate numbers ending in 0 through 4 drive on some days, and people with numbers ending in 5 through 9 drive on other days.
Every day around the world, more and more people drive to and from work in more and more cars. As a result, traffic is a global problem.
