therebe句型遵循“就近一致”的原则，即离be近的是单数或不可数名词，be动词就用单数；离be近的是复数名词，be动词就用复数。例：讲台上有一本书和两支笔。Thereisabookandtwopensontheteacher’sdesk.讲台上有两支笔和一本书。Therearetwopensandabookontheteacher’sdesk.2.Peoplewilllivetobe200yearsold.

人们将会活到200岁。livetobe+基数词+yearsold,意思是“活到……岁”。其中live作动词，意为“活……；生活”。例：狗能活15年。Dogscanlivetobefifteenyearsold.（1）liveonsth.意为“靠……为生”，这里的

sth.常为表示“食物”的名词；liveonsb.

则表示“靠某人生活”。例：大多数亚洲人以大米为主食。MostAsiansliveonrice.（2）liveby...表示“靠……（手段）谋生”，by后通常跟表示方式、手段的动名词。例：这位老人靠捕猎为生。Theoldmanlivesbyhunting.3.Willpeopleusemoneyin100years?100年以后人们还使用钱吗？in100years“在100年以后”，in为介词，其后跟一段时间表示“在……之后”，通常用于一般将来时，对其提问要用howsoon（多久以后）。例：我将在一周后回来。Irin与for:“in+一段时间”表示以现在为起点的将来某一段时间之后用howsoon提问“for+一段时间”表示某个动作或状态持续多长时间用howlong提问4.Therewillbe(more/less/fewer)

people.

将会有（更多/更少/更少的）人。more是many和much的比较级，“更多的”，既可以修饰可数名词复数，也可以修饰不可数名词。例：我们需要更多的时间来完成这项工作。Weneedmoretimetofinishthework.意思用法比较级最高级fewlittlemanymuch一些（否定）一些（否定）许多许多修饰可数名词修饰不可数名词修饰可数名词修饰不可数名词fewestleastmostmostfewerlessmoremore5.Everyoneshouldplayapartinsavingtheearth.

每个人都应当尽一份力来拯救地球。playapart(role)in…“参与……；在……中扮演角色；在……中起作用”。常在part或role的前面加no,(not)any,important等形容词修饰。in后接名词或动名词。例：他在这部电视剧中扮演一个重要的角色。HeplayedanimportantpartintheTVshow.1.Howmanynew__________(建筑物)arethereinyourcitythisyear?2.Itis___________(不可能的)forustofinishtheworkinsuchashorttime.一、根据括号内所给的汉语提示填空。buildingsimpossibleExercise3.Thatbabyisableto______(穿衣)himselfnow.4.Whatwillourlifebelike____________(在将来)？5.________(好像)hefutureItseemsdress
