　�、�.Intensive reading text A:

　　1.The Atlantic ocean is one of the oceans that separate the old world from the new.

　　譯：大西洋是隔斷新世界和舊世界的大洋之一。

　　分析：本句包含有一個that引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞oceans,注意此時只能用that,不能用which.如下的情況屬只能用that的情況：

　　1>.當先行詞是最高級形容詞或它的前面有最高級形容詞時。

　　He is the best person that always helps others

　　2>.當先行詞是序數(shù)詞，或前面有一個序數(shù)詞時。

　　He is the last person that I want to see.

　　3>.當主語已有疑問詞who或which時。

　　Which is the bike that you lost?

　　4>.當先行詞是all, much, something, anything, everything, little, etc等詞時。

　　We should hand in all that you have found.

　　5>.當先行詞前有only, any, few, one of, the same, no etc等詞時。

　　The only thing that we can do is to give you some money.

　　4.one idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world.”

　　譯：一種觀點是大西洋遠達世界的邊緣。

　　分析：that引導的是表語從句。它是名詞從句的一種。主語從句、表語從句、賓語從句、同位語從句屬于名詞從句。在四種從句中只有賓語從句能省略that這個關系連詞，在其它從句中不作任何成分，只起連接作用，但絕對不能省略。

　　a. That the earth is round is true.(主語從句)

　　b. All of us know that we must study hard.（賓語從句）

　　c. The idea that we invited him yesterday is quite good.（同位語從句）

　　d. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.（表語從句）

　　4.The Atlantic ocean is only half as big as the pacific, but it was still very large.(*)

　　譯：雖然大西洋只有太平洋的一半，但它也很大。

　　倍數(shù)的比較：倍數(shù) + as + adj/adv + as

　　a.My hair is twice as long as yours.

　　b.My classroom is only one third as big as theirs.

　　5.It’s more than 4000 miles wide where Columbus crossed it.

　　譯：哥倫布穿越大西洋的航線有4000多英里寬。

　　基數(shù)詞 + 形容詞→作度量狀語。

　　a.He is only five years old.

　　b.The river is three meters deep.

　　c.The classroom is five meters long.

　　6.For so large an ocean, it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.

　　譯：這么大的'一個海洋卻只有少數(shù)幾個島嶼，并且它是世界上鹽分含量最高的海洋。（這是大西洋最大的兩大特點。）

　　7.There is so much water in the Atlantic ocean that it is hard to imagine how much there is.

　　譯：大西洋中有多得令人難以想象的海水。

　　So…that引導結(jié)果狀語從句。(so + adj / adv)

　　It’s so hot these days that we can’t go out.

　　8.But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers.

　　譯：假設不再有雨水降入大西洋，也沒有河水匯入。本句存在一個重要的語法現(xiàn)象：虛擬語氣，即表示非真實的假設。該語法放到text B中進行詳講。

　　9.It would take the ocean about 4000years to dry up.

　　譯：它大約需要4000年的時間才干涸。

　　重要句型：it takes / took sb some time to do sth花某人多少時間作某事
