mad adj.发疯的；aeroplane n.飞机；drive sb. mad动词短语)把某人逼疯；passing planes过往的飞机；come into use(动词短语)投入使用；drive sb. away(动词短语)把某人赶走；noise n.噪音；leave vi.留下，剩下；knock down(动词短语)击倒；offer vt.提供；a large sum of money一大笔钱；be determined to do sth 决心做某事；probably adv.很可能

　　 Part II：语法学习

　　 1.动词的ing形式

　　前面讲过，动词的ing形式可以在句子中起到多种语法作用，这里将重点谈讨它们在进行时中在系动词be的配合下作谓语的作用和作定语的作用。

　　示例1：Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad.(在are的配合下，driving成为了谓语动词的一部分)
　　示例2：Passing planes can be heard night and day.(作planes的定语)
　　示例3：Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.(作plane的定语)

　　 2.被动语态

　　前面也讲过了，这里再作深化。

　　示例1：Passing planes can be heard day and night.(飞机与听到的关系是被动的)
　　示例2：The airport was built years ago.(机场与建造的关系是被动的)
　　示例3：For some reason, it could not be used then.(it就是指机场，它与使用的关系是被动的)
　　示例4：Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise.(人们与赶走的关系是被动的)
　　示例5：This house will be knocked down by a passing plane.(房子与震倒的关系是被动的，而且是将来的事情)
　　示例6：I have been offered a large sum of money to go away.(我与提供一大笔钱的关系是被动的)

　　 3.一个特殊的定语

　　这里，我们结合一个句子来看一个特殊的定语，从而为后续的定语、定语从句学习和深化奠定基础。

　　示例：I am one of the few people left.
　　这里的left作people的定语，位置放后。其实，left是从一个句子简化来的，这个句子是：who were left.对于这里的简化，大家先死记一下：看看哪两个词被省去了？有了这个初步的认识，我们后续讲解和理解起来就方便多了。

　　 Part VI：快速阅读

　　 Flattering(奉承) Remarks(话)
　　 Jack was young, rich, and fond of(喜欢) girls. He hardly ever did any work and spent most of his time enjoying himself.
　　 One summer he bought a big motor-boat(机动船). As soon as it was ready to go to sea, he telephoned one of the girls he had met somewhere and invited her for a trip in his new motor-boat.
　　 The way Jack used to invite a girl for the trip in his boat was like this: he would begin by saying, "Hello, Laura (or whatever the girl’s name was), I have just bought a beautiful new motor-boat and I would like to take you out for a trip in it."
　　 The girl’s answer was usually cautious(谨慎的，小心的) because everybody in that part of the country knew Jack’s reputation(声名) with girls. She would ay something like this. "Oh, really? That’s nice. What name have you given to the boat?" Jack would then answer, "Well, Laura, I have named it after you."
　　 Of course, the girl would feel very proud that Jack had chosen her name for the boat out of the names of all his many girl-friends and she would think that Jack must really love her. She would, therefore, be quite willing to accept his invitation to go for such a trip in his motor-boat.
　　 It would not be until she got down to the harbour(港口) and actually saw the boat that she would understand how cleverly(聪明地) Jack had tricked(耍弄) her because there in neat(整齐的) gold letters on the boat, she would see its name “After you”.
