5、乐中获得知识和必要的体验。 (Comprehending)部分，通过释读题目(THEME PARKSFUN AND MORE THAN FUN)，明确建造主题公园的目的，帮助学生加深对本单元主题的理解。 “语言学习”(Learning about Language)部分，涉及阅读中的重点词汇，归纳、介绍了一些构词法知识，如合成法、派生法（前缀、后缀），对于学生有效的记忆词汇、了解英语词汇的构成会有一定的帮助。 “语言运用”(Using Language)部分，通过听、读和说、写的训练，介绍了深圳的中华民俗文化村、法国的“观测未来”（FUTUROSCOPE）科技主题公园，让学生在情景中运用语言，

6、同时了解不同文化背景、不同类型的主题公园，拓宽视野。写作部分要求学生以义务导游的身份自选一个主题乐园，写一篇介绍短文；说的部分、要求学生以“问路”为题，进行角色扮演。这些为学生提供了更多使用本单元所学语言的情景和机会。 “小结”(Summing Up)部分要求学生就本单元的话题、词汇和结构三个方面进行归纳和总结。本单元语法部分的构词法对于英语词汇学习有着重要的意义。可以结合学生用书附录中有关构词法的语法材料，小结合成法、派生法和转义法。 “学习建议”(Learning Tip)部分提醒学生注意在公园等场所的英语标志或说明，抓住一切机会提高阅读能力，并比较汉语和英语的差别。本单元所涉及的要点是：

39、nSome words can be guessed by looking for smaller words within them. These are called compound words. Examples of compound nouns are theme park, fantasyland and English-speaking. Find out three types of compound nouns in the reading passage.The basic part of any word is the root; to it, you can add

40、a prefix at the beginning and/or a suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word "unflattering," the root is simply "flatter," while the prefix "un-" makes the word negative, and the suffix "-ing" changes it from a verb into an adjective (s

41、pecifically, a participle).English itself does not use prefixes as heavily as it once did, but many English words come from Latin, which uses prefixes and suffixes (you can use the word affix to refer either to a prefix or a suffix) quite extensively. For example, the words "prefix," "

42、;suffix," and "affix" themselves are all formed from "fix" by the used of prefixes:· "ad" (to) + "fix" (attached) = "affix" · "pre" (before) + "fix" = "prefix" · "sub" (under) + "fix&qu

43、ot; = "suffix" Note that both the "-d" of "ad" and the "-b" of "sub" change the last letter.Here are some of the most common Latin prefixes (for the meanings of the Latin roots, look up the words in a good dictionary):ab (away) abrupt, absent, absolv

44、e ad (to) adverb, advertisment, afflict in (not) incapable, indecisive, intolerable inter (between, among) intercept, interdependent, interprovincial intra (within) intramural, intrapersonal, intraprovincial pre (before) prefabricate, preface prefer post (after) postpone, postscript, postwar sub (un

Ready used materials for Word formation了解了英语构词法是迅速扩大词汇量的有效途径之一。英语中有转化法、合成法、缀合法、派生法等构词方式，这里我们将向您陆续讲解比较常用的几种，希望对您的英语学习有所帮助。首先，来介绍一下构词法中的几个基本概念：词根（base,boot）：指同根词共有的可以辨认的部分。例如：philanthropist(慈善家)、anthropoid（类人的）、misa

46、nthropist（厌世者）、anthropology（人类学）这几个词中的词根anthropo-(人)就很容易辨认出来。词干（stem）：是未经词形变化的原词。前缀（prefix）和后缀(suffix)：原是独立的词或词根，由于经常缀在别的词或词根的前后，辅助中心意义，渐渐就失去了独立的意义和形式，而成为附加的构词部分。例如：co-(with)就是一个常见的前缀。通常把带有前后缀的新词叫做合成词，也有人把带有后缀的词叫做派生词。把一个词从一种词类转成另一种词类，可以用缀合法，如red adj. (红的)to redden v.（变红）；可以用改变词根的元音或辅音的办法，即元级派生法，如foo

47、d n.(食物)to feed v.（喂饭）；也可以原封不动，转成其他词类，如pale adj.(苍白的)to pale v.（脸变白），即转化法。这里，我们先来看看“转化法”中名词转成动词的一些例子。He filmed the story. / He reproduced the story on a film.他把这篇小说拍成电影。人身器官名称，用作动词，表示使用这种器官的动作。例如：He shouldered his way through the crowd. (他用肩膀从人群中挤过去) 此外，如to cheek (厚着脸说)、to finger (摸索)、to hand a pers

48、on（用手领着）等。盛具或衣物的名称，用作动词，表示“盛”或者“装入”。例如：He pocketed his book and pen. (他把钢笔、本子装进衣袋子)以及to bottle(装瓶)、to can (装罐)、to sack (装在袋里)。表示地点的名词用作动词也有类似用法：to corner( 逼在角落)、to island(隔离)、to nursery(放在温室里)等等。除此之外，还有动词、副词、助动词等转化成名词的用法，我们来看一些例子：On another run they failed to see the boat.他们第二次去的时候没有找到那只船。 ins

49、and outs (来龙去脉) back and forth(问答) a must ( 必不可少的事) many ifs（许多条件）动词加副词转化为名词的例子也很多：Break-down(垮)、get-together(聚会)、set-back(挫折)、wash-out(废物)等。另外，形容词有时候也可以转成名词，如：the greens(青菜)、great sillies(大蠢人) 下面，我们来学习一下“合成法（composition）”。凡是由两个或两个以上的构词成分，合成一个词，而其中每个成分又可以独立为词的，叫做合成词（compounds）,而这种构词法，叫做合成法。比如：c

50、oal-mine(煤矿)、man-made(人造的)。合成词的特有含义，不受词中各个成分连结方式的影响，它的写法由习惯而定，可以写在一起，如blackbird(画眉);可以用连词符号连接，如turn-coat(叛徒)；也可以分开写，如black list(黑名单)。注意，分开写的合成词，不仅仅在意义上，即使在形式上，也和词组有区别。比如black sea 里的black，不是独立的形容词，不能说very black sea。合成词各个成分之间关系千变万化，分类也有很多种，这里就合成词的词性，分类举例说明：1.合成名词名词+名词：前面的名词说明后面的名词，中心意义由后面的名词表达，比如，同是bo

51、ok,可以有account book，hand-book，note-book等等。前面的名词可以表示人、物、性别、器具、地点、时间、比喻对象等等。如：eye-shot(视力范围)、buck-rabbit（公兔）、night-school(夜校)、baby-husband（小女婿）等等。形容词+名词：这类词意义关系一目了然，有时候是实指，有时候是指物而拟人。如Blueprints(蓝图)，big hat（大人物）,double-face(两面派)等等。动名词+名词：动名词表示行为或状态的改变，名词往往表示所用的器物，地名等等，如consulting-room（诊室），writing-desk（写

52、字台）。动词+名词：往往由短语动词变成，或者是转化与合成的结合，如pickpocket(扒手)，turn-coat(叛徒)等等。名词+动名词：很普遍，有时甚至可以随意构造，如book-learning（书本知识），word-making(构词)等等。前置词+名词：意义关系和“形容词+名词”类型相似：after-effects(后果)，by-product(副产品)等等。另外，国名的组合，有时候用“拉丁语+英语”的方式，如Afro-Asian People's Conference( 亚非会议)、Sino-Japanese War(中日战争)2. 合成形容词形容词+名词：形容词和名词连用

53、，原是短语，用做定语。固定下来，成为形容词，有的还只是nonce-words,也有合成名词作定语或转成形容词的情形：如full-time worker（全职工）、long-range gun(远程炮)等。形容词+形容词：这类词不算多，前面的形容词大都进一步说明后面的形容词，如：light-blue(浅蓝)、dead-alive(半死不活)。名词+过去分词：有被动意味，名词相当于前置词宾语，表示工具，行为者等，如:man-made(人造的)，moth-eaten(虫蛀的)。名词+现在分词：有主动意味，名词大都相当于行为的宾语，如：English-speaking people(说英语的人)，pe

54、ace-loving（热爱和平的）形容词+现在分词：有主动意味，形容词相当于表语或者定语，如eager-seeming(样子急切)，easy-going（随和的）副词+分词：如half-baked(幼稚的)，far-seeing（有远见的）副词+形容词：over-anxious(过急)，all-round athlete(全能选手)名词+形容词：名词大都作比喻的对象，如cock-sure(自恃)，paper-thin（薄如纸）3.合成动词合成动词大都是由“副词动词”组成的，这里“副词”多半表示动作的方向、程度等等。如：out表示超过 to outnumber（超过数目）to out-talk（

55、压过别人的声音）；under表示不足、在下 to underdevelop（发育不全）to underestimate（估计不足）to underline（行下划线）等等。4.叠声合成词由同一个词重复，或稍加声音变化重叠而成。这类词往往是加重语气因而常带有感情色彩，比方，嘲讽。例：goody-goody（假殷勤）so so（不怎么样）wish wash（乏味的饮料）等等。5.句式合成词整个句子当作一个词用，有的已经固定下来，例如pick-me-up（兴奋剂），what's-his-name（某某人）。整个句子用作形容词的现象比较普遍，把复杂的概念揉成单纯的限制语使行文紧凑。A let-

56、bygones-be-bygones manner（一种“过去的就算了吧”的态度） an if-you-would-only-be-guided-by-me expression（一种“要是你肯听了我的话够多好”的神气）我们接着来学习构词法中的第三类“缀合法”，分前缀和后缀两部分来讲解。前缀 有些词根或单词，由于经常放在别的词根或单词前面使用，经过长期的发展，失去了独立的作用，变成前缀。前缀具有一定含义，但不见得很明确。前缀缀在词上，可以改变、限制、或加强这个词的含义，而不改变其词类。一个词根或词，可以层层缀上好几个前缀，如in-com-pre-hen-si-ble-ness(不可理

57、解)的词根是hen,pre-,com-都加强了其含义，而in-又把整个词义转为否定。凡由缀加前缀或后缀而成的词叫做派生词。前缀的缀合，有时是连写，如extraordinary,有时用连词符号如extra-territorial,有时被词根吸收如ancestor(ante-cessor)。前缀既然有一定的意义，为了便于识别，下面就按照一样相近的前缀，分类说明。（前缀的来源一律以缩写字母注：OE古英语；OF古法语；L拉丁；GK希腊；IT意大利等）表示否定的前缀，这类前缀可以分为四种：（1）纯粹表示否定的，如a-,dis-,in-；（2）表示“错误”的，有mis- ；（3）表示“反动作”，

58、如de-,un- ； （4）表示“反对”的，有anti-,contra-（1）纯粹表示否定的。a-,an-GK能构成少数新词。加在名词、形容词上，表示没有“某种性质“。如:amoral=unmoral不道德的,asexual无性别的.a-在元音前变成an-如anonymousonoma=name匿名的dis-L加在名词、形容词、动词上，表示否定。Disadvantage(劣势)、disagreement(不和)，disbelieve(不相信)in-,il-(在字母l前)，im-(在字母m,b,p前)，ir(在字母r前) L常和音节较多的learned words(雅语)，尤

59、其是拉丁，法语外来词结合，加在形容词或其派生词、副词上，表示否定。Inaccurate, illegible, impolite, irregular, inability, infinite, impious。un-OE是最通用的前缀之一，可以用于大多数形容词及其派生副词、名词、表示否定，如unfailing, unfinished, undoubtedly, unheard-of等。（2）表示“错误”的mis- 多作重读，表示“wrongly，badly”。可以适当构造新词：大多用于动词：to misbehave（行为不当）misunderstand（误解）。用于作形容词的分词：misbelievi
