（三）重点长句剖析：

1. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle down rivers and streams.

木筏就像小船，可以用来划行，顺溪流而下。

2. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks.

如果你想进行普通的木筏旅行，可选择水下倒伏的树木或礁石都不多的平缓宽阔的溪流。

分析：这两个句子中分别用了定语从句。第一句中的从句修饰先行词“a small boat”；第二句中的从句修饰先行词“a quiet stream or river”。引导词that 在从句中分别作的是宾语和主语。

3. The name “whitewater” comes from the fact that the water in these streams and rivers looks white when it moves quickly. 之所以称之为“白水”，是因为这样一个事实，即：湍急的水流迅速移动时看上去是白色的。

分析：在这句话中，that 引导的是一个同位语从句，解释the fact 的内容。其中引导词that 在从句中只起连接作用，本身没有词义，也不表将来任何成分。

（四）语法讲解：现在进行时

Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns (客栈)instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.

Rooms for the night in private (私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.

Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many

vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families.

Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings and do not take any chances when crossing the road.

My next point is about litter. It is an offence to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you. Now, are there any questions? 4. The underlined word “contact” in the seventh paragraph means ______. A. keep in touch with
