3. Important Sentences Structures.
?
1. -Where is Water Bay on the map of Garden City? ???
?-It's in the north of the map.
表示“在地圖上”時，應用介詞on。
表示地圖上的方位時，應使用介詞in。此時它表示的是在地圖“中”的位置。例如：
In the east of the map, we can find a department store. 在地圖上的東部，我們可以看到一家百貨商店。
?
2. It takes about forty minutes.
句型“It takes+時間”表示“做某事花了多長時間”。通常還可以用“It takes+ sb. +some time to do sth.”的句型，表示“某人花了多少時間做某事”。例如： ??
It takes five hours to travel from Shanghai to Nanchang by train. 從上海至南昌坐火車需五小時。
It takes me about an hour to finish my homework every day.我每天花大約一小時的時間完成作業(yè)。
It took us four hours to make a model plane yesterday.昨天我們花了四小時制作一架模型飛機。
【注意】句中謂語動詞take要根據(jù)上下文來確定其時態(tài)。另外，句型It takes sb. some time to do sth. 可以和sb. spends some time (in) doing sth這個句型互相轉(zhuǎn)換。上面兩個例句可分別改寫成:
I spend an hour (in) finishing my homework every day.
We spent four hours (in) making a model plane yesterday.
?
3. Is it convenient to go shopping in your new neighbourhood?
It is+形容詞+to do sth.”的結(jié)構(gòu)常用來表示“（做某事）很（怎么樣）”的意思。it不是句子真正的主語，它替代了to do sth. 的部分，我們稱之為“形式主語”，而把動詞不定式部分稱為“真實主語”。例如：
It is difficult to learn French. 法語是很難學的。 ?
It is exciting to watch a football match. 看足球賽是一件令人興奮的事。
【注意】這兩個句子還可改寫成：
Learning French is difficult.
Watching a football match is exciting.
?
4. There aren't any shops or restaurants.
??not any是“什么都沒有”的意思，與no意思相近。本句可改寫為：
??There are no shops or restaurants. 例如：
??They didn't find any flour in the kitchen. 他們在廚房里一點面粉都沒找到。
??可改寫為：They found no flour in the kitchen.
?
5. When we lived in the city centre, we got up late and walked to school.
(1) when是時間狀語從句的引導詞，意為“當……的時候”。例如：
???Go to bed early, or you will get up late again tomorrow. 早點睡覺，否則明天你起床又晚了。
???When I?was about eight, I got a book about stars. 我八歲的時候，得到了一本關于星星的書。
???when引導的從句部分，可以位于主句前，也可以位于主句后。當從句位于主句前時，從句后須加“，”。例如：
???The sky went dark when we arrived. 我們到達的時候，天黑了。
???本句可改寫為：When we arrived, the sky went dark.
??【知識拓展】在用when引導的時間狀語從旬中，主句和從句的動作可以是同時發(fā)生的，也可以是先后的，從句中
的動作可以是短暫的，也可以是持續(xù)的。例如：
??What were you doing when your teacher came into the classroom? 當老師進教室的時候，你們正在做什么？
??The boy fell asleep when he was reading. 這個男孩讀書的時候睡著了。
??We were going home when it began to rain. 開始下雨的時候，我們正在回家的路上。
?
(2)get up late意為“晚起”。get up是“起床”的意思，反義詞組是go to bed(去睡覺)。
walk to school相當于go to school on foot, 意為“步行上學”。
?
3. It's winter because people are wearing warm clothes and gloves.
because是用來引導原因狀語從句的從屬連詞，意為“因為”，表達句子間的因果關系。例如：
I turn on the air conditioner because the students feel very hot. 因為學生們感到很熱，所以我打開了空調(diào)。
【友情提示】because可以和so作句型轉(zhuǎn)換，但是兩個詞不可同時在一句話中出現(xiàn)。以上例句可以改寫為： ??
The students feel very hot, so I turn on the air conditioner.
