语言点1 本句是一个由when引导的时间状语从句加that引导的分隔式同位语从句构成的复合
2)与corner搭配的介词at the corner of the street在街道的拐角in the corner of the room在房间的角落句。
里on the corner of the desk在桌子的一角

语言点2 because和for的区别：because知道上的或自然的原因，语气较强，for多指逻辑上的判断。比较：Itmust have rained,for the river is so must be at home,for the light in his room is on.
语言点3 twenty miles away做后置定语，修饰place。地点副词和时间副词做后置定语：the house ahead前面的房子，the conclusion below下面的讨论，the plan last year去年的计划。 it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. 语言点1 wherever引导地点状语从句。

的修辞手法。 《
语言点3 it left behind it a trail of dead deer...这部分中，a trail of dead deer and small animals like
rabbits与behind it形成倒装。一般而言，倒装的用法有两个作用：强调或平衡句子。本句是为了平衡句子。倒装是很重要的写作手法，在新概念英语系列中还有很多，例When they got home，Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without relising it,cooked her fiance's wallet as well. 8. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. 在许多地方看见了爪印，灌木丛中也发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。

(2) There are many apples on the tree.树上有许多苹果。(on the tree通常指树本身长出来的东西，如枝，叶，花，果等。)
10. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from
语言点1:句子结构分析:这是一个由and连接的并列句，意思层层递进，说明美洲狮逃遁的充分证 专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪里来的呢 据。Clinging to bushes为现在分词短语，作主语puma fur的补足语，补充说明主语的状态。 语言点1:句子结构分析:that引导宾语从句，指were convinced的内容。But引导的分句与前面的分句 例句支持: 形成转折并列关系，让抓美洲狮的过程变得更加扑朔迷离。 I found a tagboard clinging to my luggage.
语言点2:我们平时在写作时可以用believe,be sure,confirm等词汇表达“肯定”，但是本文作者为什么不
用这些词呢原因在于这几个词汇的主管性都太强，而be convinced则更注重客观逻辑推理。而本文第2段 我发现我的行李上挂着一张标签纸。
语言点2:作者接连列举了美洲狮身上的两种特有的东西，并使用了被动语态，完美地呈现了英语中给出了很多美洲狮出没的证据，那么这么多证据恐怕就不能全归结为巧合了。
例句支持: 语言的特色。

对比:Some one passed up a note to the speaker.(主动语态，强调“人”，不突出“纸条”。)
We are convinced that he will succeed.我们有理由相信他会成功。(表示这件事有充分的理由成为客观事实)

night, however, our vicar work up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! 一天夜里，我们的牧师突然被惊醒了，大钟又在“打点”报时了!
语言点1:句子结构分析:however表示转折。With a start接冒号及一个解释性的从句，说明牧师被惊醒
语言点1:句子结构分析:这句话中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是disturbing后面的to think that…，的原因。 但因为它太长了，影响句子的平衡，所以就用it代替而把它放在句子的后面。 语言点2:由strike the hours还可以引申学习以下短语:
~
Strike the clock 敲钟 Beat/play a drum 打鼓 Ring the bell 摇铃 Alarm clock 闹钟

stopped. 敲黑板，划重点：

money to have the church clock repaired.
：
with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. 牧师拿着一支手电筒走上钟楼想去看看究竟发生了什么事情。
语言点1:句子结构分析:armed with a torch是过去分词短语作伴随状语，其逻辑主语与主句主语一致，且动作是被动的。To see what was going on是动词不定式短语作目的状语，what was going on为宾语从句， 我们教区的牧师总是为各种各样的事筹集资金，但始终未能筹组资金把教堂的钟修好。
语言点1:句子结构分析:but连接两个转折关系的并列句，转折的目的一般为否定前一个分句的意说明see的内容。

强调一个反复做的动作;第二句是用现在完成时have been coming表示一个非专业人士修钟的艰难。 /
除此之外，我们还可以这样说:
(1)How is everything with you/going 你一切都好吗 (2)How is the world around you 你周围的情况怎样 (3)What is happening 最近在忙些什么
(4)How is life treating you 你过得怎样
