Module 5課文重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)解析
1. Iron doesn't rust in dry air. 在干燥的空氣中鐵不容易生銹。
在此處rust作不及物動(dòng)詞，說(shuō)明主語(yǔ)的特征。謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用主動(dòng)形式。常見(jiàn)的同類(lèi)動(dòng)詞有：sell, write, dry, wash, open, move, lock等。例如：
The oranges sell well. 這些橘子很暢銷(xiāo)。
注意區(qū)分：系動(dòng)詞taste, look, smell, feel, sound等后面要接形容詞作表語(yǔ)。例如：
The oranges taste good. 橘子嘗起來(lái)好吃。
2. Half-fill a test tube with water. 給玻璃試管灌一半水。
fill...with使......充滿(mǎn)；be filled with... 用......裝滿(mǎn)
類(lèi)似的詞組有：

3. I never used to enjoy science, but last year I changed schools, and the science teachers at my new school are excellent. 我過(guò)去從來(lái)沒(méi)有喜歡過(guò)理科，但去年我換了學(xué)校，而且新學(xué)校的理科老師們非常出色。
used to do sth. 表示過(guò)去常常做某事。例如：
John used to visit his parents once a week when he worked as an assistant in the city.約翰在城里當(dāng)服務(wù)員的時(shí)候，總是每周去看望父母一次。
拓展:1) be used to do sth. 被用來(lái)做某事。例如：

2) be/get used to sth./ doing sth. 習(xí)慣于做某事。例如：

4. The Noble Prize is the highest scientific prize there is，so we should be very proud of that。諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)是科技領(lǐng)域曾有過(guò)的最高獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，因此我們應(yīng)以此為驕傲。
此處there is 是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾prize，表示曾有過(guò)的。例如：
The home improvements have taken what little there is of my spare time. (NMET2001)房屋裝修占據(jù)了我那么少的業(yè)余時(shí)間。
5. ...as both are supposed to have good physics Departments.因?yàn)閮伤髮W(xué)都應(yīng)該有最好的物理系。
be supposed to +不定式短語(yǔ)，可以表示"應(yīng)該""理應(yīng)"含有"本來(lái)應(yīng)該做某事，而事實(shí)上并非如此"之意。例如：
