(教材P6)It was predicted as early as the 1700s that English would one day be the global language and that has proved to be the case in the last few decades.
早在18世纪人们就预言英语有一天会成为全球性语言，而这一预言在近几十年中已经得到了证实。
【要点提炼】 It was predicted that...“据预测……”，其中it作形式主语，that引导的从句作真正的主语。It＋be predicted that...相当于People predict(ed) that...和Sth./Sb.＋be predicted to do...。
It's said that... It's hoped that... It's reported that... It's thought that... It's suggested that... It's believed that... It's expected that... 据说…… 人们希望…… 据报道…… 人们认为…… 人们建议…… 人们相信…… 预计…… ①It is said that the boy grew up to be a noted scientist. 据说，那男孩长大后成了一位著名的科学家。
②It is supposed(suppose) that he may pass the College Entrance Examination. 人们认为他能通过大学入学考试。
③It is believed that we shall make full use of the sun's energy some day. 人们相信，总有一天我们能充分利用太阳能。
(教材P6)This can take the form of reading and listening materials which must be of the highest quality．
足够量的语言输入可以以高质量的阅读和听力材料的形式呈现。
【要点提炼】 句中be of the highest quality是“be＋of＋抽象名词”结构。
“be of＋抽象名词”结构，常在句中作表语，这类抽象名词包含两类： (1)be of＋抽象名词＝be＋抽象名词相对应的形容词。这类名词有：value，use，importance，help，interest，benefit，beauty，wealth等，它们可用no，some，any，little，much，great等词修饰。 (2)“be of＋抽象名词”中的抽象名词没有形容词形式，为了表明主语的某些特征，只能用这一种形式。这类名词有：size，weight，height，color，shape，age，opinion，price，kind，type等。注意：这类名词的单复数根据具体的情况而定，也可在其前加冠词。 ①Mr.Smith is of the same opinion. ＝Mr.Smith has the same opinion. 史密斯先生也持同样的观点。
②Each minute is of great importance to us. ＝Each minute is very important to us. 每一分钟对我们都非常重要。
③The two men are almost of a height(high)． 这两个人差不多一般高。

名词性从句的用法 语 境 自 主 领 悟 先观察原句 ①It was predicted as early as the 1700s that English would one day be the global language... ②...the chances that we will all have the opportunity to live in an English-speaking country are small. ③What this means is that they make sure there is an adequate amount of input in English... ④Experts say that just 15 minutes of extra-curricular study a day can really accelerate foreign language learning. 后自主感悟 1.在主从复合句中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句。名词性从句依据其句法作用，分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。主语从句如句①③，宾语从句如句④，表语从句如句③，同位语从句如句②。 2.名词性从句用陈述语序。
一、基本概念
1．在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词性从句。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组，它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语等，因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能，名词性从句可分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
2．引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类：
(1)从属连词：that，whether，if(不充当从句的任何成分)
(2)连接代词：what，whatever，who，whoever，whom，whose，which (3)连接副词：when，where，how，why 二、基本用法 (一)主语从句
在句中起主语作用的从句称为主语从句。连接主语从句的引导词有连接词(that，whether，if)、连接代词和连接副词。
1．that引导的主语从句 (1)that置于句首的主语从句
that在主语从句中不作任何成分，也没有含义，只起连接从句的作用。
That you are coming to London is the best news I have heard this long time. 长久以来我听到的最好的消息就是你要来伦敦。 (2)形式主语it替代主语从句
常见的it替代主语从句的句式主要有如下几种： ①It＋系动词＋形容词＋that从句 常用于这种结构的形容词有： necessary必要的 likely可能的 wrong错误的 certain明确的
right正确的 unlikely不可能的 important重要的 clear清晰的
