在……方面表现出色x动词excel与介词at搭配使用，形成动词短语，意指某人在某领域或活动中表现出色。Iexcelatwelding,soIalwaysgettopgradesinmetalworkingclasses.我擅长焊接，所以在金属加工课上总是取得最高分。Tomexcelsatautomotiverepair,sohehasalreadybeenofferedaninternshipatalocalgarage.汤姆擅长汽车维修，因此已经获得了当地汽车修理厂的实习机会。1.Backthen,therewerespecialgroupscalledguilds.Asanapprentice,youwouldstartwitheasy-to-handletasks...形容词和形容词短语（1）形容词大多数形容词既能充当名词修饰语，又能充当表语和宾语补足语。Todayisarainyday.今天是雨天。（名词修饰语）Tomissmart.汤姆很机灵。（表语）Ifoundthebookuseful.我发现这本书很有用。（宾语补足语）。形容词作前置修饰语，在名词短语中的位置总是在限定词之后，名词中心词之前。Thisis

a

beautiful

flower.这是一朵美丽的花。

限定词

形容词

中心词如果同时有几个形容词出现在名词中心词之前，一般是较长的形容词在后。Itwasawet,windy,

unpleasantday.那天天气潮湿、风大、让人难受。1.Backthen,therewerespecialgroupscalledguilds.Asanapprentice,youwouldstartwitheasy-to-handletasks...在这样的结构中常常涉及词序问题。形容词一般按下列顺序排列：描绘形容词→表示大小新旧的形容词→表示颜色的形容词→表示类别的形容词。theEnglishstonechurch英国石头教堂（添加表示类别的形容词）thewhiteEnglishstonechurch白色的英国石头教堂（添加表示颜色的形容词）theoldwhiteEnglishstonechurch古老的白色英国石头教堂（添加表示大小新旧的形容词）theattractiveoldwhiteEnglishstonechurch迷人的古老白色英国石头教堂（添加描绘形容词）形容词也能作后置修饰语，例如，放在由some、any、no等构成的合成词之后。I’dlikesomethingcheaper.我想要便宜一点儿的。Haveyoufoundanythingattractive?你找到吸引人的东西了吗？在很多情况下，形容词修饰语既可前置，也可后置，含义不变。It’stheonlysolutionpossible.1.Backthen,therewerespecialgroupscalledguilds.Asanapprentice,youwouldstartwitheasy-to-handletasks...It’stheonlypossiblesolution.这是唯一可能的解决办法。

但也有含义改变的情况。thememberspresent在场的成员thepresentmembers现在的成员thepersonresponsible

负责的人theresponsibleperson可信赖的人（2）形容词短语形容词后可接不定式结构或介词短语，共同组成形容词短语。It’sacompositionfullofmistakes.这是一篇满是错误的作文。Johnisapersondifficulttogetalongwith.约翰是很难相处的人。1.Backthen,therewerespecialgroupscalledguilds.Asanapprentice,youwouldstartwitheasy-to-handletasks...形容词短语通常用作名词中心词的后置修饰语。但也有将形容词短语中的形容词和不定式结构或介词短语拆分开的情况，即将形容词置于名词中心词之前，而将不定式结构或介词短语置于名词中心词之后。这主要见于形容词短语的中心词为different、similar、easy、difficult、possible、impossible时，或者为形容词的比较级或最高级时。adifferentbookfromthisone与这本不同的书adifficultproblemtosolve一个难以解决的问题abetterfilmthanthatone比那部更好的电影thebestmuseumintheworld世界上最好的博物馆2.Practisegrammaraccordingtotheexample.Example：nice—thisis—a—houseThisisanicehouse.2.Practisegrammaraccordingtotheexample.(1)difficult—climbingthatmountainis—tocomplete—a—task(2)responsible—a—Johnis—forthetransportationofgoodstothemarket—driverClimbingthatmountainisadifficulttasktocomplete.Johnisadriverresponsibleforthetransportationofgoodstothemarket.2.Practisegrammaraccordingtotheexample.(3)old—dictionary—English—thisisan(4)Johngaveme—wonderful—a—new—novelThisisanoldEnglishdictionary.Johngavemeawonderfulnewnovel.2.Practisegrammaraccordingtotheexample.(5)tofind—Iwouldlike—easy—something—toread—inthelibraryIwouldliketofindsomethingeasytoreadinthelibrary.apprentice/əˈprentɪs/n.学徒era/ˈɪərə/n.时代guild/ɡɪld/n.行会implement/ˈɪmplɪm(ə)nt/v.执行，贯彻mentorship/ˈmentəʃɪp/n.师徒制pioneer/ˌpaɪəˈnɪə(r)/v.做先锋，倡导；开辟（道路）pottery/ˈpɒtəri/n.制陶，陶艺combine...with与……结合excelat擅长pioneermodernvocationaleducation开创现代职业教育stonecarving石雕VocationalEducationTodayUNIT5Choosethreemostimportantfactorsforstudentstosucceedinvocationaleducationtoday.A.MasteringpracticaltechnicalskillsB.GainingworkexperiencethroughinternshipsC.FocusingonlyonacademicexamsD.Adaptingtofast-changingindustrytrendsE.LearningforeignlanguagesF.StartingabusinessaftergraduationG.EarningmanyprofessionalcertificatesH.BuildingconnectionswithcompaniesChoosethreemostimportantfactorsforstudentstosucceedinvocationaleducationtoday.Host:Hithere!WelcometotheChinaRadioInternationalpodcastepisodeonvocationaleducation!I’mLiLin,andtodaywe’rediscussingwhymorestudentsarechoosingvocationaleducationinChina.JoiningmeareWangYang,whohasjustgraduatedfromavocationalschool;DouXing,ateacherfromavocationalschool;andXiaHua,whoworksinhumanresourcesatamanufacturingcompany.Let’sdivein![TransitionMusic]Host:Mr.Wang,whydidyouchoosevocationaleducation,andwhatwasyourmajor?WangYang:Afterhighschool,Iwantedtogainpracticalskillsforwork,sovocationalschoolsseemedliketherightchoice.Imajoredinanimationproduction,anditturnedouttobeagreatdecision!Host:That’sfantastic!Now,Mr.Dou,whydoyouthinkvocationalcoursesarebecomingmorepopularamongstudents?DouXing:Well,nowadays,whatemployerswantareworkerswhocanstartrightaway.Vocationalcoursesteachexactlytheskillsyouneedforajob.Host:Interesting!So,Ms.Xia,howdograduatesfromvocationalschoolsbenefitbusinesses?XiaHua:AsMr.Doumentioned,thesegraduatescanjumpintoajobandgetthingsdoneefficiently.It’salsoimportantthattheybringastrongworkethic,whichisessentialintoday’sworkplace.Host:Thanksforsharing!Doyouhaveanyadviceforstudents?XiaHua:Well,remember,vocationalschoolsaren’tjustaboutgettingjobs.Theyarealsoaboutlearningskillsthatcanopendoorsforyou!WangYang:Right!

集，期episode指连续性内容中的独立单元，如电视剧的一集或播客的一期节目，既自成体系又与整体关联。Eachepisodeofourtrainingvideoseriesteachesadifferentpracticalskill.我们培训视频系列的每集内容均讲授一项不同的实用技能。Theteacheraskedustowriteasummaryofanepisodefromadocumentaryseriesonenvironmentalprotection.教师要求我们就一部环保主题纪录片系列中的某一集撰写内容概要。2.播客用语播客节目或广播节目中通常会使用特定短语作为开场与结束语。例如，dive原意为“跳水”，课文中将“Let’sdivein!”作为节目开场语，可译为“我们开始吧！”或“让我们深入探讨……”，用于营造氛围。节目结束时，主持人常使用“thankyoufortuningin”与“thisis...,signingoff”等作为结束语。“thankyoufortuningin”意为“感谢您的收听”，体现对听众时间投入的尊重与感谢；“thisis...,signingoff”则是主持人的规范结束语，“signoff”原指“签署文件后结束工作”，现成为播客节目或广播节目中“结束本次播送”的专业表达。在播客节目或广播节目中恰当运用此类短语，既能树立节目的专业形象，又可强化与听众的互动黏性。3.theVocationalEducationLawofthePeople’sRepublicofChina2022年4月20日，第十三届全国人民代表大会常务委员会第三十四次会议通过《中华人民共和国职业教育法》的修订，新修订的《中华人民共和国职业教育法》自2022年5月1日起施行。该法总则第一条指出，该法的目的是推动职业教育高质量发展，提高劳动者素质和技术技能水平，促进就业创业，建设教育强国、人力资源强国和技能型社会，推进社会主义现代化建设。1.Whatemployerswantareworkerswhocanstartrightaway.

It’salsoimportantthattheybringastrongworkethic,whichisessentialintoday’sworkplace.主语从句（1）主语从句的引导词主语从句通常由连词that和whether、连接代词、连接副词引导。that引导Thathewonthecompetitionwasabigsuccess.他赢得比赛是一个巨大的成功。Thatwewillbelateiscertain.我们要迟到了，这是确定无疑的。whether引导Whetheritwilldousharmremainstobeseen.它是否对我们有害，还要再看一看。Whethertheywillsupportusisaproblem.他们是否会支持我们是个问题。连接代词引导Whoevercomesinfirstwillreceiveaprize.无论谁先到都可以得奖。Whicheveryouwantisyours.你要哪个，哪个就是你的。连接副词引导Whenwearrivedoesn’tmatter.我们什么时候到没有关系。Howitwasdonewasamystery.这是怎样做到的是一个谜。（2）主语从句与形式主语it有时为了考虑句子平衡，通常使用形式主语it，将真正的主语从句移至句末。以连词that和whether引导的主语从句，常用形式主语it代替。Itisapitythathedidn’tcome.很遗憾他没来。Itremainstobeseenwhetheritwilldousharmorgood.它对我们是利是害，还得看看再说。以连接副词引导的主语从句，可以使用形式主语it代替。Itiswhenweareintroublethatweneedfriendsmost.当我们身处困境时，最需要朋友。Itishowyouhandlefailurethatdeterminesyoursuccess.决定你成功的是你如何应对失败。1.Whatemployerswantareworkerswhocanstartrightaway.

It’salsoimportantthattheybringastrongworkethic,whichisessentialintoday’sworkplace.如果句子是疑问句，则必须用带形式主语it的结构。Isittruethatheisourteacher?他是我们的老师，这是真的吗？Howisitthatyouarelateagain?你怎么又迟到了？（3）连词that的省略问题引导主语从句的连词that有时可省，有时不能省。若that引导的主语从句直接位于句首，则that不能省略。Thatyoudidn’tgotothetalkwasapity.很遗憾你没去听报告。（that不可省略）若that引导的主语从句位于句末，而在句首使用了形式主语it，则that可以省略。Itwasapity(that)youdidn’tgotothetalk.很遗憾你没去听报告。（that可省略）注意：在口语中，省略that较为常见，但在书面语中，保留that会更加规范。1.Whatemployerswantareworkerswhocanstartrightaway.
