句型梳理
1【教材原句】 Sun Yatsen，who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution，first suggested the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919.(P53)
1911年辛亥革命的领导人孙中山于1919年首先提出了在长江上建造大坝的设想。
【句法分析】 suggest在此处意为“提出；建议”，常用搭配为suggest sth./doing...。
①She suggested traveling by bus.
她建议乘公共汽车旅行。
suggest后还可跟从句。当“建议”讲时，后跟宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即：suggest that sb.(should)do sth.，其中should可以省略；当表示“表明；暗示”讲时，后跟宾语从句，不用虚拟语气，而用陈述语气。
suggest的名词为suggestion，凡是与suggestion(表示“建议”)相关的从句也都要用虚拟语气，即从句用that sb.(should)do...的形式。
②He made a suggestion that we should start at once.
＝His suggestion was that we should start at once.
他建议我们立刻动身。
即境活用
11．Recently quite a lot of experts________that another law on wildlife protection________as soon as possible.
A．were suggested；must be passed
B．have suggested；be passed
C．were suggesting；was passed
D．suggested；being passed
解析：选B。recently表示“最近”在句中作时间状语，句子常用现在完成时；suggest表示“建议”讲后跟宾语从句时，从句常用虚拟语气，即sb.(should)do sth.或sth.(should)be done(被动)，其中should可以省略，故选B。本句意为“最近相当多的专家建议应该尽快再通过一部关于保护野生动物的法律。”
2【教材原句】 It was the tallest building in the world until the World Trade Centre was built in New York in 1972.(P59)
直到1972年纽约建立起世贸大厦，它一直是世界上最高的建筑物。
【句法分析】 (1)该句中until引导的是一个时间状语从句，表示“直到……”，当主句谓语动词是延续性动词时，既可用肯定形式也可用否定形式，但意义不同。
①We discussed the problem until they came back.
我们讨论那个问题一直到他们回来。
②We didn’t discuss the problem until they came back.
直到他们回来我们才讨论那个问题。
(2)但若主句谓语动词是非延续性动词，则只能用否定形式。
③His parents didn’t go to bed until he came back.
直到他回来他的父母才上床睡觉。
(3)not...until...表示“直到……才……”，常用于两种句式：即倒装句或强调句。
④The villagers didn’t realize how serious the pollution was until the fish in the river died out.
→Not until the fish in the river died out did the villagers realize how serious the pollution was.(倒装句)
→It was not until the fish in the river died out that the villagers realized how serious the pollution was.(强调句)
直到河里的鱼都死光了之后村民们才意识到污染是多么严重。
