主谓一致用法难点小结：
一、集合名词作主语时的主谓一致。
1. 集合名词有family, team, group, party, class, public, club, crew, crowd, enemy, audience, company, committee, government, population等，当被看作一个整体时，表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式；如果这些集合名词指其中的每个成员，表示复数意义，谓语动词则用复数形式。即谓语动词的单复数要与主语的含义相一致。如：
My class is a big one, including thirty boys and thirty girls.
My class are working hard for the coming exam.
2. 有些集合名词作主语时，谓语只能用复数形式，如：people, the police, the military, mankind, cattle等。如：
The police are searching for the lost child.
二、不定代词作主语时的主谓一致。
不定代词anyone, anybody, anything, everyone, everybody, everything, someone, somebody, no one, nobody, nothing, each, the other等作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
Everything goes well with me.
Each of the students in our class has an English-Chinese dictionary.
三、“名词＋名词”作主语时的主谓一致。
当表示同一人物或观点时，谓语动词用单数。如：A novelist and playwright is coming to our school. 这里表示“一位小说家兼剧作家”，是同一个人，所以谓语动词用单数。
如果是A novelist and a playwright作主语，这时表示“一位小说家和一位剧作家”，是两个人，所以谓语动词用复数，该句应改为：A novelist and a playwright are coming to our school.
四、The ＋ adj.作主语时的主谓一致。
当The ＋ adj.表示抽象的含义时，谓语动词用单数。如：The beautiful is the true.
当The ＋ adj.表示该类全体的含义时，谓语动词用复数。如：The rich should help the poor.

2. 英语必修四第二单元课文翻译是什么
Despite being one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping still thinks of himself as a farmer because he works in the fields and concts scientific research.
尽管是中国最着名的科学家之一，袁隆平仍然认为自己是个农民，因为他在田里耕作，进行科学研究。
Indeed, like millions of other Chinese farmers, he has been trying to help them for the past 50 years with his sun tanned face and arms, and his thin and strong body.
的确，他被太阳晒得黝黑的脸庞和和手臂，以及他那瘦削而又结实的身躯，就跟其他千百万中国农民一样，过去50年来，他一直在努力帮助他们。
What Dr. yuan grows is called "Super Hybrid Rice". In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow high-yield rice. This special kind of rice makes the same field yield one third more. Now more than 60% of the rice proced in China every year comes from this hybrid rice.
袁博士种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻的”的稻种。1974年，他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先锋。这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获三分之一的产量。如今中国每年出产的稻米有60%以上出自这种杂交稻种。
Born in 1930, Dr. yuan graated from Southwest Agricultural University in 1953. Since then, finding a way to proce high yield rice has become his lifelong goal. When he was young, he saw a huge demand for increasing the yield of rice fields.
袁博士1930年出生，1953年毕业于西南农学院。从那时起，找到水稻高产的方法就成为他一生的目标。年轻时，他就看到了稻田增产的巨大需求。
At that time, famine was a serious problem faced by many rural areas. Dr yuan should seek ways to increase the income of rice on the basis of not increasing the land area.
当时，饥荒是许多农村地区面临的严重问题。袁博士要在不增加土地面积的基础上寻求达到增收稻谷的途径。
In 1950, Chinese farmers could only proce 50 million tons of rice, but recently they have proced nearly 200 million tons. This increase in food proction means that only 7% of China's arable land supports 22% of the world's population.
1950年，中国农民只能生产五千万吨稻谷，而近来却生产了将近两亿吨稻谷。这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅仅7%的耕地养活了世界22%的人口。
Dr. yuan is now spreading knowledge about rice proction in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries. Thanks to his research, the United Nations has more options in the fight against world hunger. With his hybrid rice seeds, farmers grow twice as much grain as before.
袁博士现在在印度、越南和很多其他欠发达国家传播提高水稻产量的知识。多亏了他的研究，联合国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中有了更多的办法。用他的杂交水稻种子，农民种出的粮食比以前多了一倍。
这部分内容主要考察的是现在完成时的知识点：
过去的动作或状态持续到现在，对现在造成的影响，可能持续发生下去。在英语时态中，“时”指动作发生的时间，“态”指动作的样子和状态。
完成时态的构成分为两部分：一是助动词，二是实义动词的过去分词-ed。具体来说，用助动词have/has表示“时”，以表明动作发生的时间是在过去、现在还是将来；用过去分词来表示动作的“态”，以表明该动作已经完成，而且对现在有一定的影响。
它的构成是：主语+助动词(have/has) +动词的过去分词。（done）

采访
保萨尼阿斯是2000年前的一位希腊作家，他作了一次魔幻的旅行，来打听当代奥林匹克运动会的情况。他现在正在采访一位叫莉莉的中国姑娘。
保：我叫保萨尼阿斯。我生活在你们所说的“古希腊”。我曾经写过2000年前奥林匹克运动会的情况。我来到你们这个时代，想了解有关当代奥运会的情况，因为我知道2004年奥运会是在我的家乡雅典举行的。能不能问你几个问题呢？
莉：当然可以。你想了解什么呢？
保：你们的奥运会多久举行一次？
莉：每四年，来自全世界的运动员都可以参赛。运动会有两种：夏季奥运会和冬季奥运会。这两种运动会都是四年举行一次。冬季奥运会通常是在夏季奥运会的前两年举行。
保：冬季奥运会？冬天怎么可能赛跑呢？又怎么可能赛马呢？
莉：噢，不！冬奥会并不包括赛跑和赛马，但是却有像溜冰和滑雪这类需要冰雪的比赛项目，所以才叫它冬季奥运会。
保：全世界的运动员都来参赛？你是指希腊的世界？我们希腊各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞争过。别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能参加。
莉：所有国家都能参赛，只要它们的运动员达到了参赛的标准。总共有250多个运动项目，每个项目都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加，而且她们还起着非常重要的作用，特别是在……
保：请停一停！所有这么多项目，所有这么多的国家，甚至妇女也都参加！所有这些参赛的人又住在哪里呢？
莉：有一个特殊的村庄供参赛的人住，有供比赛用的体育场，有很大的游泳池，有室内体育馆，还有观众席呢。
保：那一定要花很多钱吧。会有人想承办奥运会吗？
莉：其实人人都想承办，这是极大的荣誉。国与国之间争取奥运会承办权的竞争就跟争夺奥运奖牌一样的激烈。2008年的奥运会将在中国举行，你知道吗？
保：是的，听说过，你一定很骄傲吧。你刚才说奖牌是吗？就连橄榄枝花环也被奖牌替代了！天哪，你们也为钱而竞赛吗？
莉：不，不是为钱。还是为了能够跑得更快，跳得更高，掷得更远。
保：谢谢，占用了你的时间。这真是条好新闻。再见。
6. 人教版高中英语必修四unit2课文中的不理解的几个地方
1.不可以，“some of”的意思是“...中的一些”，所以“some of the problems”表示是问题中的一些而不是全部，改变了句子的原意，所以不可删。
2.“so”当连词时的意思是“所以”，而在这里“so”是副词，表示“非常，很”，所以可以和“and”连用。
3.“growing”是“grow”的动名词形式，在本句中作主语（动词作主语要换成相应的动名词形式）。还有，抱歉，因为我没有你的这种书，所以我回答不了你说的“后面workbook里的reading task部分an early farmer ploneer”这一问题。
4.我给你整句翻译这句话吧，“在他工作的旅程中，当他骑马经过乡下的时候，他注意到了这些田地。”“rode”这个单词有两种意思，一种是ride的过去式，另一种解释为野禽傍晚飞向陆地或于傍晚是飞翔，当这里的rode作为第一种解释时这句话可以翻译为“他们/它们/她们 骑车/骑马 穿过...”我认为这样最贴切。而“look out”可以翻译为“注意到”。

非洲野生动物研究者
清晨5点45分，太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起，我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了，她帮助人们了解黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么的相似。我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着，这时候猩猩们睡醒了，准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去，我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里，黑猩猩或相互喂食，或彼此擦身，这在它们的家庭里是表示爱的方式。简预先提醒我们，到下午的时候我们就会又脏又累。她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍，后来看见它们晚上一切回窝里睡觉了。我明白了猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样紧密。
在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录黑猩猩的日常生活。从孩提时代起，简就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是，这不是一件简单的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时，对女性来说，住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮过她的忙，这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说，她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩猎食动物。而在此之前，人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的，而她对黑猩猩肢体语言的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。
40年来，简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活，而不能用于娱乐或广告。她还为黑猩猩建起了可以安全生活的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的，然而，正如她所说的：“我一旦停下来，所有的一切都会涌上心头。我就会想起实验室的黑猩猩，太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时，这个念头总是萦绕着我。我会对自己说：‘难道它们不幸运吗？’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些，你就永远不会忘记……”
简已经得到了她想要得到的一切：在动物的栖息地工作；获得博士学位；还向世人证明女人和男人一样也能在森林里生活。她激励着人们为妇女们的成就而欢呼喝彩。
为什么不继续她的事业？
上学时我喜欢英语、生物和化学，但是我进大学该选哪门专业呢？直到有一天晚上坐在电脑旁研究中国的伟大女性时，我才有了答案。
很偶然地，我看到了一篇关于林巧稚大夫的文章。她是妇科专家，1901年出生，1983年去世。林巧稚似乎一直都在为自己选择的事业而奔忙，她去国外留学，并写了很多书和文章。其中有一本书引起了我的注意。这是一本小书，介绍如何从妇女怀孕到护理婴儿的过程中降低死亡率。她提出了一些可以遵循的简单的做法，保持婴儿清洁和健康，让他们远离疾病。她为什么要写这些东西呢？林巧稚认为哪些妇女会需要这些忠告呢？我细细地看了这篇文章，了解到那是为农村妇女写的。也许是她们在遇到紧急情况时找不到医生。
突然我想起，在那个年代，一个女子去学医是多么困难啊！那可是一个女性受教育总是排在男性之后的年代。难道她比别人要聪明得多？进一步阅读使我了解到，是苦干、决心和善良的天性使她走进医学院的大门。后来使她成功的是她对所有病人献出的爱心和体贴。数不胜数的故事讲述着林巧稚如何在劳累一天之后，又在深夜去为贫苦家庭的产妇接生，而这些家庭是不可能给她报酬的。
现在我迫不及待地想多了解一些有关她的情况。我发现林巧稚把毕生都奉献给了病人，而自己却选择了独身。她确保了大约五万名婴儿的安全出生。这时候，我非常激动。为什么不像林巧稚那样去读医学院，继续她高尚的事业呢？现在努力提高学习成绩、准备大学入学考试还不算晚.

【课文原句】I looked carefully at the text and realised that it was intended for women who lived in the countryside. (P6)
【名师点拨】intend v. 意为“打算；计划；想要”。intend to do sth意为“想干某事”；intend后也可以接动词-ing形式或that从句。intend for表示“原打算给某人；准备让……干……”。如：
I intended to come to your house last night but it rained.
I intend coming / to come back soon.
He hadn’t really intended that they should be there.
This gift is intended for you.

主谓一致用法难点小结：
一、集合名词作主语时的主谓一致。
1. 集合名词有family, team, group, party, class, public, club, crew, crowd, enemy, audience, company, committee, government, population等，当被看作一个整体时，表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式；如果这些集合名词指其中的每个成员，表示复数意义，谓语动词则用复数形式。即谓语动词的单复数要与主语的含义相一致。如：
My class is a big one, including thirty boys and thirty girls.
My class are working hard for the coming exam.
2. 有些集合名词作主语时，谓语只能用复数形式，如：people, the police, the military, mankind, cattle等。如：
The police are searching for the lost child.
二、不定代词作主语时的主谓一致。
不定代词anyone, anybody, anything, everyone, everybody, everything, someone, somebody, no one, nobody, nothing, each, the other等作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如：
Everything goes well with me.
Each of the students in our class has an English-Chinese dictionary.
三、“名词＋名词”作主语时的主谓一致。
当表示同一人物或观点时，谓语动词用单数。如：A novelist and playwright is coming to our school. 这里表示“一位小说家兼剧作家”，是同一个人，所以谓语动词用单数。
如果是A novelist and a playwright作主语，这时表示“一位小说家和一位剧作家”，是两个人，所以谓语动词用复数，该句应改为：A novelist and a playwright are coming to our school.
四、The ＋ adj.作主语时的主谓一致。
当The ＋ adj.表示抽象的含义时，谓语动词用单数。如：The beautiful is the true.
当The ＋ adj.表示该类全体的含义时，谓语动词用复数。如：The rich should help the poor.
