（一）课文详解1、What a great day!(P9)本句是由what引导的感叹句。
其结构为：What + a /an + 形容词+ 可数名词的单数形式（+主语+谓语+其他）Eg: What a new bike(it is)! What a beautiful girl!2、But I guess it was a little too crowded.(P9)1)这是一个含有宾语从句的复合句，I guess为主句，it was a little too crowded为省略了引导词that的宾语从句。
在复合句中，当主句为一般现在时时，宾语从句可根据其具体情况使用任意适当的时态。
Eg: I guess he is a policeman. I hear she went to Beijing by plane yesterday.2)crowded adj.“拥挤的”。

crowd v. “拥挤”Eg: The shop near my house is always crowded with people.Hundreds of people crowded into the church.3、Bill wonders whether they’ll have zongzi again next year.(P9)1)wonder此处用作既无动词“想知道”，相当于want to know. wonder在不同的句式中表达的意思不相同：后接who,what,why等连接词引导的宾语从句及“疑问词+动词不定式”结构时，意为“想知道”Eg: I wonder who that boy is.后接if或whether引导的宾语从句时，表示一种委婉的请求或疑问Eg: I wonder if I could use your mobile phone.后接that引导的宾语从句以及动词不定式短语时，表示“对…感到惊讶”Eg: I wonder to see her looking so cheerful.wonder n.奇迹，奇观wonderful adj. 壮观的，奇妙的，精彩的eg: What are the Seven Wonders in the world?

Eg: He wonders whether / if it will be fine tomorrow.辨析: whether if二者都可以引导宾语从句，意为“是否”，一般情况下可以互换。
Eg: I don’t know whether / if she can work out the problem.二者在引导宾语从句时，whether可直接与or not连用，而if不可以Eg: I don’t know whether or not I should go.if可以引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”，而whether不可以Eg: If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go camping.if可以用于虚拟语气中，而whether不可以Eg: If I were a bird, I would fly in the sky.4、Bill and Mary believe that they’ll be back next year to watch the races.(P9)believe此处用作及物动词“相信、认为”。
其后既可以直接接名词、代词作宾语，也可以跟that等引导的宾语从句，还可以用believe sb to do sth的形式Eg: I don’t believe you. I believe that he can win the match. I believe him to be an honest man.当believe后跟宾语从句且主句为第一人称时，它的否定形式与think的用法相同，“否定在主句，翻译在从句”Eg: I don’t believe he knows that place. 我认为他不知道那个地方。

Eg: She will be back in three weeks.after以过去为起点，表示过去一段时间以后，常用语过去时态的句子中，在某个特定的时间以后，after也可用语将来时态的句子中。
