They have information about different computers and who invented them. invent v. 发明，创造 e.g. 你知道谁发明了汽车吗？ Do you know who _ cars? 电话是一百多年以前发明的。 The telephone _ more than 100 years ago. 【拓展】invention是invent的名词形式。inventor也是名词，它的意思为“发明家、发明者”。e.g. He had many inventions all his life. Thomas Edison was a great inventor. 他是一个伟大的发明家，无线电是他的发明之一。 He was a great _. Radio was one of his _.invent，find和discover的意思很接近，你知道它们的用法有什么区别吗？ invent意为“发明；创造”，指发明世界上原本不存在的东西。 e.g. Who invented the light bulb? find意为“找到；发现”，指寻找的结果。 e.g. We were surprised to find Mary there.discover意为“发现”，指发现原来就存在但一直未被认知的东西。如： e.g. ColumbusdiscoveredAmericain the late 15th century.根据句意选用invent, find或discover的适当形式填空。1. At last, I _ my key under the bed.2. Scientists have _ more than 100 million such galaxies.3. My grandfather _ a strange machine last year.3. The old computers were much bigger. much可修饰形容词比较级，表示得多。 如: much richer 可修饰比较级的还有a lot, a little, even, still等 e.g. Hes feeling a lot better today. He is fat, but his brother is still fatter. 根据汉语意思完成英语句子。1) 你比昨天显得高兴多了。 You look _ than you did yesterday.2) 这本书甚至比那本书更有用。 This book is _ than that one.4. Its unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way! progress v. 进步； 进展 e.g. He continues toprogressin his studies. progress n. 进步； 进展 常作不可数名词 make progress 取得进步“取得巨大进步”，可以在progress前加good或great。 若表达“在方面取得进步”的意思，需要借助介词in。 e.g. John is not making much progress at school. This term David made great progress in English.rapid adj. 迅速的； 快速的rapid, fast, quick都表示“快的、迅速的”rapid是正式用语，只用作形容词，语气较强，常用于表示抽象意义的“快速的”。fast既可用作形容词，又可用作副词。它主要指人或物体本身的速度快或动作快。quick既可用作形容词，又可用作副词。它既可指速度快，也可指反应快、动作敏捷。请用rapid, fast或quick的适当形式完成下列各题。1. Our country has made _ development.2. Tom is _ at learning English.3. Dont speak too _. I cant follow you.4. The train is going _ and _. 5. I wonder how much more computer will be able to do in the future. 不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。 1) wonder 表示“ (对某事)感到疑惑; 想要知道; 想弄明白; 琢磨”, 后面常接由what, how, who 或者if/whether引导的宾语从句。 e.g. I wonder how theyre getting on. 我想知道他们现在过得怎样。 I just wonder if theyve arrived safely. 我就想知道他们是否安全抵达了。2) 此句从句部分的原始结构是: How much more will computers be able to do in the future? 是对陈述句Computers will be able to do (much) more in the future.(电脑将来能够做更多的事情。)的提问。由于充当了宾语从句, 疑问结构改成了陈述结构: how much more computers will be able to do in the future, 即: 将助动词还原到陈述句的位置。e.g. I dont know when he will come. 我不知道他什么时候来。 I dont know where he lives. 我不知道他住在哪里。6. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to encourage sb. to do sth. 鼓励某人做某事 e.g. My father encouraged me to take part in the sports meeting. 父亲鼓励我参加运动会。7. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself. 看沏茶的过程和饮茶本身一样令人愉快。 -able是一个典型的形容词后缀, 可加在动词之后, 表示“可.的; 能够的”。此处enjoyable(能使人快乐的; 令人愉快的) 便是一例, 再如:drinkable(可饮用的), washable(可洗的), readable(可读的), usable(可用的; 可使用的)等等。8. Ive finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets. collect v. 收集；采集 e.g. Do you like to collect tickets or stamps? collect名词形式是_。 a collection of . 的收藏 e.g. My friend has a collection of postcards.Step 6 Exercises.根据语境及所给汉语提示，写出所缺单词。1.
