Taxi!Taxi(出租汽车)的来源1907年美国有一位名叫HarryAllen的人，对当时公用马车索价昂贵很愤慨。他从法国引进了4个气缸，16匹马力的汽车到纽约曼哈顿，把它称为taximeter-cabriolet.Taxi借用法语taxe,是“收费”的意思，meter借用法语metre(计算)，cabriolet则为马车或轿车，全名是按行驶路程计价的马车，这样乘客就不会吃亏了，后来这个词简化成taximeter,最后简化成taxi,有人说这种简化是很自然的，因为一般来说，当时坐出租车总是有急事。FreeTalkHowoftendoyoutakeataxi?Whatistheadvantage(优势)ordisadvantageoftakingataxi?NewwordsTaxi出租汽车PilatusPorter皮勒特斯.波特Land着陆Plough耕地Lonely偏僻的，人迹罕至的Welsh威尔士的Roof楼顶Block一座大楼Flat公寓房Desert废弃taxin.出租车他给我叫了辆出租车。Hecalledataxiforme.乘出租车bytaxi出租车司机taxidrivertakeataxito…打车去…eg:他每天早上打车上学。Hetakesataxitoschooleverymorning.landv.着陆，登陆飞机将在五分钟后着陆。eg:Theplanewilllandinfiveminutes.陷入，落入球落入湖中。eg:Theballlandedinthelake.ploughV.耕地，耕（田）耕田ploughafield.n.犁lonelyadj.寂寞的，孤独的，偏僻的，荒无人烟的eg:他太太去世后他非常孤独。Whenhiswifedied,hewasverylonely.eg:她没有朋友，所以常常感到孤独。Shehasnofriends,soshealwaysfeelslonely.lonely扩展：与另一个近义词alone的区别:仔细想想下面这句话，比较两词的不同：Ilivedalone,butIdidn’tfeellonely.我虽然单独一人生活，但我并不感到寂寞。lonely强调感觉上的孤独寂寞，是种不好的感觉。alone强调形式上的孤单，没有不好的感觉。ShewatchesTVwhensheisalone.她单独一人时便看电视。Icandoitalone.我可以独自一人办理此事。roofn.楼顶，屋顶eg:在我们的屋顶上有一只猫。Thereisacatonourroof.世界屋脊theroofoftheworld.blockn.大楼，大厦，街区，障碍物办公大楼anofficeblock路障aroadblockflatn.公寓房=apartment一幢公寓大楼ablockofflats我希望拥有一套属于自己的公寓Ihopetohaveaflatofmyown.desertv.废弃n.沙漠，荒野adj.deserted被遗弃的eg:一个被遗弃的孩子Adesertedboy.ReadagainTaxi出租汽车Pilatus皮勒特斯.波特Land着陆Plough耕地Lonely偏僻的，人迹罕至的Welsh威尔士的Roof楼顶Block一座大楼Flat公寓房Desert废弃listenforthefirsttimeDoesCaptainFawcettthinkanytripistoodangerous?Yes,hedoes.HeoncerefusedtoflytoRockall.DescribethepictureTextCaptainBenFawcetthasboughtanunusualtaxiandhasbegunanewservice.The'taxi'isasmallSwissaeroplanecalleda'PilatusPorter'.Thiswonderfulplanecancarrysevenpassengers.Themostsurprisingthingaboutit,however,isthatitcanlandanywhere:onsnow,water,orevenonaploughedfield.CaptainFawcett'sfirstpassengerwasadoctorwhoflewfromBirminghamtoalonelyvillageintheWelshmountains.Sincethen,CaptainFawcetthasflownpassengerstomanyunusualplaces.Oncehelandedontheroofofablockofflatsandonanotheroccasion,helandedinadesertedcarpark.CaptainFawcetthasjustrefusedastrangerequestfromabusinessman.ThemanwantedtoflytoRockall,alonelyislandintheAtlanticOcean,butCaptainFawcettdidnottakehimbecausethetripwastoodangerous.Grammarfocus现在完成时&一般过去时中时间状语的比较1.现在完成时的时间状语多表示到现在为止的这段时间：since+某一时间，for+一段时间，uptillnow,just,before等。2.一般过去时表示过去某时发生的动作，时间状语多为lastyear(month),ago(3yearsago),in+某一年，justnow等。Isawhimin1994.Ihaven’tseenhimsince1994.Isawhim3yearsago.Ihaven’tseenhimfor3years.GrammarfocusHestayedatthishotellastmonth.Haveyoueverstayedatthishotel?Iwentabroadlastyear.Uptillnow,Ihaveneverbeenabroadbefore.3.用already,yet,just,ever,never这类副词作状语时，常可用于现在完成时。如：Ihavejustreceivedaletterfrommybrother,Tim.HaveyoueverbeentoLondon?Ihaveneverbeenthere.Haveyouhadyourlunchyet?TellthestoryCaptainFawcett–unusual–newservice‘taxi’–Swiss–‘PilatusPorter’wonderful–sevenpassengersmostsurprising–landanywherefirst–doctor–Birmingham–mountainsSincethen–flown–unusualplacesOnce–flats–another–carparkrefused–strange–businessmanwanted–Rockall–Atlantic–didn’ttake–dangerous
