　　(以下重点词汇与词组分别与上面标蓝单词及词组链接)

　　重点词汇：

　　1. engage: vi.从事于，参加。

　　固定搭配：engage in。e.g. He is engaged in politics.他从事政治。

　　be engaged to:使订婚，约定。 e.g. She was engaged to that handsome boy.她和那个英俊的男孩订婚了。

　　2. scarcely: adv. 几乎不，几乎没有。

　　固定搭配：scarcely…when…一…就…,可引导时间状语从句，只用于过去时，主句动作发生在从句动作前，故用过去完成时，如果scarcely用于句首，主句的主谓部分应倒装。

　　e.g. Scarcely had Jack seen me when he left the room.杰克刚见到我就离开了屋子。

　　3. unlike: prep. 不像，和…不同。区别dislike, v.厌恶，讨厌

　　词组：

　　1. a great deal : 许多，大量

　　a large number of 大量，许多 (可数名词前)

　　a lot of 许多 (可数名词或不可数名词前)

　　三、Text B重点句子：(句子下面的解释同划线部分链接)

　　1. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. (P126,Para2,L2) 蚂蚁虽然勤于工作，但仍有时间玩耍。此句中as 引导了让步状语从句，句子要倒装。

　　2. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. (P126,Para5,L2) 鹦鹉虽然在其他方面很笨，但它会说话。

　　3. Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things. (P127,Para2,l1)

　　虽然动物会思考和学习，但它们不能在做事的方式上像人一样做出真正的变革。

　　4. They are said to do such things by instinct. (P127,Para3,L3)据说它们凭着本能来做这些事情。

　　5. It is by this instinct that birds build their nests. (P127,Para3,L4) 正是通过这种本能，鸟类筑巢。

　　6. If he had had his wits about him, he would have known that there was no use in building a dam where there was no water. (P127,Para4,L7) 如果它真有头脑的话，它本应知道在没有水的地方建筑堤坝是没有用的。

　　此句用了虚拟语气，与过去事实相反的假设。主句用would have done 的形式，从句用had done 的形式。(停顿)

　　注意：将P124和P133及P138练习精练并准确翻译。(可以加个叹号并用其它颜色标出放在下面)
