Step 5 Language points
1. With no light outside, it felt like midnight.
此句中介词with表示一种伴随状况，同时还包含着某种因果关系，表示“因某
种状况的存在而导致……”, 因此可翻译成“由于；因为”等。

I can’t work with all that noise going on.
由于那噪音响着，我无法工作。

working.

e.g. Tom is active and outgoing while his sister Rosa is shy and quiet.
汤姆活跃外向，而他的妹妹罗莎却害羞腼腆。
2) make sure“确认，查明，核实；确保；设法保证”，其后可接句子，或接介词

It is adj.+ to do sth. 做……怎么样。

die down逐渐变弱，逐渐平息
e.g. When you saw him, his anger had died down a bit.
你看见他的时候，他的火气已经下去了。

e.g. I understand completely. 我完全明白。

at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用（在句中用作状语）。 at first主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此常有 but, afterwards, soon, at last 等相呼应。

At first I didn’t want to go, but soon I changed my mind.

My friends were watching games on TV. This event is very important to me because many people died in the earthquake. They need some help. Lots of people came to help them.
Step 4 单元复习
过去进行时
1. 概念: 表示过去某个时刻或过去一段时间正在进行的动作。
2. 句子结构: 主语 + was/were + doing sth. + 时间状语
3. 时间状语词: at 5:00 yesterday afternoon, at that time, then 等连用, 或者用另一动作来表示过去的时间。如：
They were playing basketball when she arrived.
While they were playing basketball, she arrived.
过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作，它的特点是：暂时，持续和未完成，强调过程；一般过去时表示发生过的动作或存在的状态，即表示动作发生过，而且已经结束了，强调结果。
D
1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she had finished it．
A. has written    B. wrote
C. had written    D. was writing
C
2) Mary ____ a dress when she cut her finger.
A. made      B. is making
C. was making      D. makes
wrote
was making 表示正在做衣服的过程，如用made 则表示这一动作已结束，做衣服的动作已结束与 cut her finger就没有联系。
3) He _______ (write) a letter, then went to bed.
wrote 表示动作已结束，做另一件事，如用was writing 就与 went to bed 在逻辑上相矛盾。
过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事，侧重说明事实。
was writing
He ___________ all night last night.
（生动的描写，他一直写……）
wrote
He ________ something last night．
（说明他写了……的事实）
注：下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时。
① 表示状态的动词 be；
② 感官动词：feel, hear, see, smell, taste等;
③ 表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe (认为), forget, consider, know, remember, hope, wish, want 等；
④ 表示所属关系的动词：belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。
when, while
区别：
1. 由when引导的时间状语从句，主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；
由while引导的时间状语从句，主句用一般过去时，从句应用过去进行时。
When the teacher came in, we were talking.
当此句改变主从句的位置时，则为：
While we were talking, the teacher came in.
2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时的时候，多用while引导。如：
They were singing while we were dancing.

1. I _________ my homework when Mike ______ last night.
  昨天晚上迈克来的时候我正在写作业。
2. While Ann ____________ TV, her father _______ home.
