5. Language points:

Thirteen-year-old Ann Brown was hit by a car at 15 Park Road.

本句运用了一般过去时的被动语态，其形式为“was/were+及物动词的过去分词”。

She and her brother, James, were on their way to an early basketball practice.

on the/ one’s way to意为“去……的路上”，to遇到副词要省略。

We didn’t want to be late for practice.

be late for…意为“迟到”。for后接名词或代词，若接动词要用动名词形式。

Ann dropped her basketball, and it rolled onto the street.

drop在这里为及物动词，意为“(使)落下，投下”。drop也可用作不及物动词，意为“掉下，滴下，落下”。

drop, fall

drop意为“落下，掉下”，表示人或物从高处掉到低处。也可意为“放弃”，还可表示“由于疲劳而倒下”。

fall意为“落下”，也可指人或物从高处掉到低处。还可表示“跌倒”或“被打败,沦陷”。

She raced to get it.

race在本句中为不及物动词，意为“逃跑，疾走”。

Mrs. Andrews, who was walking several steps behind the two students, saw it happen.

本句含有一个由who引导的非限制性定语从句，saw it happen句式为see sb. do sth.,表示“看见某人做某事”。

And the street was icy—the car couldn’t stop in time.

in time意为“及时”，表示情况恰到好处。

on time意为“准时，按时”。

I shouted to the girl.

shout意为“大喊(大叫)”，常作不及物动词，与介词to， at或for连用。

I wanted to stop her from running after the ball, but she didn’t hear me. “stop sb./sth. +from doing sth.”结构意为“阻止某人/某物做某事”，相当于keep…from doing sth.或prevent…from doing sth.,除由keep构成的短语外，其余两个短语中的from均可省略。

run after意为“追逐，追赶”。

10. Then the ambulance took both students to the hospital.

本句中的both为形容词，意为“两个的，两者的”。

both还可作代词，意为“两者，双方”。

both…and…意为“……和……都……”。

Doctors say she can expect to return to school in about a week.

expect为及物动词，意为“期望，料想”，常用表达有:expect to do sth.期望做某事， expect sb. to do sth.期望某人做某事，expect sth.期望某物。

return to意为“回到(某地)，返回”，相当于go/come/get back to someplace，但return不能与back连用，因为return已含有back之意了。

return还有“归还”之意，相当于give back，同样不与副词back连用。“归还某人某物”可表达为：return sth. to sb.。
