【Text】

Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feel deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

【课文讲解】

1、Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.

★dream n. 梦；v. 做梦

① n. 梦想

dreams come true 梦想成真 dreams ended 梦想破灭了, 梦断了

dream of … ……的梦

Dream of flying in the sky comes true.

② v. 做梦

dream of doing sth.

I dream of flying in the sky.(dream v)

come true 变成现实，（预言、期望等）成为事实，（愿意）实现

His dream to travel around the world at last came true.

2、A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.

一句话中只有一个动词, 如果再出现动词, 可以用and并列连接, 也可以变成复合句, 用when, because连接, 还可以使这个动词表示动词意思, 但不做谓语, 即非谓语动词过去分词做定语, 表示“被”，如ploughed field n. +called 被称之为…的…（如果用短语修饰其他词, 则把短语放在被修饰词的后边）

the plane called a “Pilatus Porter”

be used to do sth. 被用来……

used to do 过去常常

同位语从句中的引导词只有一个that，不会用which

in the ground (更习惯于用“under the ground” )

3、The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.

it is said 是插入语，当“据说”讲。

where = in which翻译时译为“在那儿”，修饰cave；一个地点状语从句

This is the river where I swim.

4、The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.

would表示过去的习惯性动作, 但此处表示“used to” 过去常做fail to do sth. 未能、不能、忘记做某事项（fail 后面接动词不定式表示否定）

He failed to see the reason why they sent him away.

collect的含义之一为“（去）取，接”

Don’t fail to collect me before you go to the party.

I’ll collect my post on my way home.

5、Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.

如果几个句子的主语是同一事物, 则可以把几个句子合并为一个句子。保留一个句子做主句, 其他的变成非谓语动词。非谓语动词采用何种形式, 则根据其与主语的关系, 如果是主动关系, 用-ing, 被动关系, 则用动词的-ed形式主句与其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡, 还要注意动作的连贯

The boy went home. The boy was crying. The boy was beaten.

=Beaten by sb, the boy went home, crying.

arm(ed) with 可以表示“带着、装着、穿着”等

Don’t worry. I’m armed with an umbrella.

You’d better arm yourself with a warm coat.

6、Very excited, the party dug a hole two feel deep.

Very exciting, … 形容词短语做状语

Tired of sleeping on the floor, …

Tired, I went home./ I went home tired.句子顺序不同, 表达的意思也不同

two feet deep“数词+量词+形容词”结构可以做定语；也可以做表语

I am five years old.

The street is five meters wide.

long/wide/high/deep，人有多高用“tall”

7、In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

in spite of / though / even if 尽管

something of value：of表示其所修饰的名词具有某种性质、状况，of加名词往往让人联想这名词对应的形容词

The news is of great importance to us.

of value＝valuable 有价值的

of small value 价值很小= almost worthless形容词要放在不定代词的后边

something important =something of importance

someone patient =someone of patience

【Summary writing】

1 Is‘The Revealer’a new machine or an old machine?Is it used for detecting buried gold or not?(which)

2 Did a search party use this machine or not?Where did they try to find gold recently?(Using this machine...)

3 Did they examine the cave thoroughly or not? Did they only find a small gold coin?Was it valuable or was it

practically worthless?(Although...which)

4 Do many people believe that the machine may reveal something of value soon or not?(However)

1、machine 作为先行词, it 指代machine, 会被which 所取代

2、Using this machine, a seach party tried to find the gold in came near the seashore.

3、Although 会引导让步状语从句, which 会引导一个定于从句

Although they examined the came thoroughly ,they only found a small gold coin which was practically worthless.

4、however 放在句首句中都可以, 要用逗号隔开

【Key structures】表示过去习惯性动作

当我们提到过去某一特定时间时, 我们有时可用would 来代替used to，有时则不可以，而且would 需要指出具体时间，used to则不需要。

当 used to暗示与现在的对照时，不可用would替换：

I used to drink heavily, but I have given up drinking now.

I never used to eat a large breakfast, but I do now.

当used to描写过去的状态时，也不可与would互换，would只表示过去特有的习惯或行为：

This sort of novel used to be very popular. 这种小说过去很流行.

I used to be a waiter, but now I’m a taxi-driver.

当used to不强调与现在的对比时，可与would互换。但一个故事开头时不用would，必须首先用一般过去时或used to描述背景，然后用would表示习惯性动作：

When I was a boy we always spent/used to spend our holidays on a farm. We would get up at 5 and wewould help milk the cows.

【Special difficulties】

use, be used to, used to

use vt. 用，使用，运用，应用

May I use your dictionary/car?

I don’t know how to use the word.

be used to 习惯于（后面跟名词或动名词，be也可用get等代替）

I soon got used to getting up early when I started working as a baker.

I’m used to shopping alone.

used to 过去习惯……（表示过去有而现在通常已不存在的习惯，只用于一般过去时，后面只能跟动词不定式）

I used to get up early when I worked as a baker, but I don’t have to get up early now.

You didn’t use to smoke.

Gold and Golden

glod

① n. 金，黄金，金币，金块

He loves gold more than anything else.

② adj. 金的

When Frank retired, they gave him a gold watch.

All that glitters is not gold. （all…is not… 不是所有的，部分否定not all）

golden adj. 金色的，（机会等）非常好的，兴盛的

As the sun set, the sky became golden.

As he grew older, he always thought about the golden days of his life.

You’ve missed a golden chance to make a lot of money.

他的动词改装为非谓语动词

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 55

1. a 课文第7-8行…a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure 可以推测只有a. gold 是探宝队所寻找的东西。 b. gold mine (金矿)；c. pirates (海盗)；d. a tin trunk (一个铁皮箱)这3个选择都与课文的实际内容不符，所以选a.

2. a 课文最后一句In spite of this, many people are confident that "The revealer" may reveal something of value fairly soon 可以判断只有a. works very well能够说明"探宝器"的性能如何,而其他3个选择都与课文内容不合.

3. b 只有b. detecting (探测)最符合语法，因为介词for 后面只能跟名词或者动名词，其他3个选择都不能用在介词后面，所以选b.

4. d 前半句中的used to 表示过去常做某事，而现在已经不做了，只有d. that’s what hey would do (那就是他们过去经常做的)同前半句意思想吻合。因为would 同used to 一样也可以表示过去经常性的动作。

其他3个选择都表示现在还在做，不合乎逻辑。

5. a 只有a. would find 是对的，前一句They hoped to find...等于They hoped they would find....其他3个选择都与前一句的时态不符合，所以选a.

6. a 该句是一般过去时疑问句，因为它已经有助动词did 提问了，所以谓语动词要用原形。只有a. dig 是动词原形，其他3个选择都不是动词原形，所以选a.

7. c 本句的疑问词How 是对主语the hole 的状态或性质提问的,因此它后面要跟形容词. 只有c. deep是形容词,表示"深的",可以修饰名词hole. 其他3个选择 a. deeply(深深地)词性不对; b. depth(深)是名词,词性也不对; d. down(向下)词性和词意思都不对,所以只能选c.

8. a 该句的主语Revealer (探宝器)是一种机器。 a. machine (机器)；b. engine (发动机，火车的机车)；c. machinery (机器总称)是不可数名词；d. mechanic (技工，机修工)，这4个选择中只有a. machine 可以是Revealer 的定义，所以只能选a.

9. b 前一句的examining the soil 意思是"检查土壤"本句需要选出一个同它含义相同的词语. a. testing it考验它 b. looking at it carefully仔细观察它 c. watching it留意它, d. trying it尝试它，只有b.同examining the soil最接近,。

10. d 只有d. value(价值)最符合题目意思，因为of small value (价值很小)同前一句中的almost worthless(几乎没有价值)的意义相同，所以应该选d. 其他3个选择中a. worthy(值得的)是形容词，词性不对； b. honour (荣幸，荣誉)的词意思不对； c. price(价格，物价)词意思也不够贴切。
