35、d.（教材P38）想必你们知道,正是在这儿我们找到了居住在世界这个部分最早人类的证据。点拨：本句中的must用于对肯定或有把握的事情或情况表示推测，意思是“必定，准是”。常用于以下四种结构中：（1）must+do表示对现在情况的推测。He entered the room just now.He must be here.他刚刚进屋，他一定在这里。Im sorry he isnt here.He must have left already.抱歉，他不在这儿。他准是走了。（2）must+have done表示对过去情况的推测。He must have stayed up last night,

38、之后在句子本来意义的基础上进行反问。He must have seen the film.可以理解为He has seen the film，所以反义疑问句用hasnt he？He must have seen the film yesterday.可以理解为He saw the film yesterday，所以反义疑问句用didnt he？单句语法填空。(1)I have lost one of my gloves.I _(drop)it somewhere in the library this afternoon.(2)The light is still on in our teac
39、hers office;he _(mark)our exam papers now.must have droppedmust be marking Point as引导的非限制性定语从句Yes,indeed,as the botanical analyses have shown us,all the fields around here used to be part of a large shallow lake.（教材P39）确实,正如植物学分析显示给我们的那样,附近所有的土地都曾是大型浅湖的一部分。点拨：此处as引导的是非限制性定语从句，译作“正如那样”。as引导非限制性定语从句时，
40、位置比较灵活，除了常置于句首外，还可以位于句中或句末。As the proverb goes,“The enemy in disguise is just like the wolf in sheeps clothing.”正如谚语所说的那样,伪装的敌人就像是披着羊皮的狼。（句首）Mike，as we expected，attended the meeting.像我们所期望的那样，迈克参加了会议。（句中）He wasnt unconscious，as could be judged from his eyes.他并未失去知觉，这从他的眼神可以判断出来。（句尾）as 与which 引导非限制性定
41、语从句的区别：（1）相同点：既可指代某一先行词，也可指代整个主句的内容，译作“这一点”，有时可互换。He is quite pleased，aswhich can be seen from his face.他非常高兴，从他的表情可以看出来。（2）不同点：1）位置不同：as引导的非限定性定语从句可以放在句首、句中，而which引导的非限定性定语从句不能放在句首。2）意义不同：as引导的非限定性定语从句时，还可译为“正如一样；就如一样”，具有方式意味；而which不能；as引导的非限定性定语从句表示说话的依据、态度、解释或评论等，常用于as we all know（=as it is known
42、 to us all）,as is said（reported,mentioned,etc.）above,as it is等。which引导的非限定性定语从句表示某事的状态或结果。3）逻辑关系不同：当主、从句在意义上构成因果关系时，常用which代替as。如：Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others,which,of course,made the others envy him.海伦对自己最小的儿子比其他孩子都要好，这一点使其他孩子很嫉妒。单句改错。(1)The number of smokers,it is reported,has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.(2)Which we have stressed many times,“serve the people”is our first policy.asAs课末随堂演练课后限时作业制作者：状元桥适用对象：高三学生制作软件：Powerpoint2003、Photoshop cs3运行环境：WindowsXP以上操作系统
