18、rees! 零下5度到零下2度之間。2. 問(wèn)天氣： Whats the weather like in ？天氣怎樣？= How is the weather in ? Its snowy (cloudy, rainy, sunny, windy.). 下雪(多云、下雨、晴、有風(fēng))3. although this year it snowed a lot. 雖然今年下了很多雪。although conj. 然而；盡管，引導(dǎo)的從句不能與but, however連用，但可與yet, still連用。例如：1) 雖然他很累，但他繼續(xù)工作。Although he was tired, he went o

Its probably sunny and hot there. 那里的天氣可能晴朗、熱。Itll probably be cold tomorrow. 明天可能冷。probably adv. 大概；或許；很可能英語(yǔ)中表示可能的方式有許多，除使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may / might 以外，還可以通過(guò)will 以及表示“可能”的形容詞和副詞表達(dá)。常用的有：It is possible to do sth. ., It is possible that , 主語(yǔ)

21、+ will probably / possibly + v.等。例如：Is it possible to visit Alaska in December? 十二月去阿拉斯加游覽有可能嗎？It is possible that itll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能會(huì)下雪。Itll probably be cold and wet天氣很可能會(huì)又濕又冷。probably 表示“很可能”，所以表示的可能性要比possible 大。Step 9 Grammar情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may和might一、表示允許或請(qǐng)求 may和might表示允許或請(qǐng)求時(shí)，意為“可以”。其中，might

22、表示的語(yǔ)氣較委婉（不表示過(guò)去）。如：May I come tomorrow? Might I have a cup of coffee? I asked her if I might call and see her. You may leave at any time. You may use the room if you keep it clean.二、表示推測(cè) may和might都可以用來(lái)表示推測(cè)，意為“也許；可能”。它們的否定形式分別是may not和might not。如： I think David may be at school. That woman may not be

23、Marks mother. How long might the travel take? Susan might not return tomorrow.注意： may和might 表推測(cè)時(shí)，may比might 表示的可能性要大一些；而might 使說(shuō)話的語(yǔ)氣更加委婉，表示實(shí)現(xiàn)的可能性比較小?！具\(yùn)用】根據(jù)括號(hào)內(nèi)所給提示將下列漢語(yǔ)句子翻譯成英語(yǔ)。 1. 這塊手表不是你的。它可能是誰(shuí)的呢？(may) The watch isnt yours.

46、.2. Ask the students to repeat the sentences in the box.Step 3 Grammar情態(tài)動(dòng)詞本身有一定的詞義，為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞增添情態(tài)色彩，表示說(shuō)話人對(duì)有關(guān)行為或事物的態(tài)度和看法，認(rèn)為其可能、應(yīng)該或必要等。我們學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)的can 和may 都屬于這類詞。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞無(wú)人稱和數(shù)的變化，情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后面接的動(dòng)詞需要原形，否定式是在情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后面加not,當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)可能發(fā)生某事以及可能做某事時(shí)，可以用may / might 表示。例如：Its cloudy too, so it might snow.也是陰天，所以有可能會(huì)下雪。Bring a map becau

48、的方式有許多，除使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may / might 以外，還可以通過(guò)will 以及表示“可能” 的形容詞和副詞表達(dá)。常用的有：It is possible to do sth. ., It is possible that , 主語(yǔ)+will probably / possibly + v.等。例如：Is it possible to visit Alaska in December?十二月去阿拉斯加游覽有可能嗎？It is possible that itll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能會(huì)下雪.Itll probably be cold and wet天氣很可能

49、會(huì)又濕又冷。probably 表示“很可能”，所以表示的可能性要比possible 大。Step 4 Exercises.1. Ask the students to read through the sentences in Activity 1. 2.
