★Text



On Wednesday evening,we went to Town Hall.It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock.It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time.Fifteen minutes passed and then,at five to twelve,the clock stopped.The big minute hand did not move.We waited and waited,but nothing happened.Suddenly someone shouted,"It's two minutes past twelve.The clock has stopped!"I looked at my watch.It was true.The big clock refused to welcome the New Year.At that moment,everybody began to laugh and sing.



☆a cold welcome:冷遇

cold:寒冷的;冷淡的

cold fish:冷漠的人

英语中有许多以动物代替人的词,如:lucky dog 幸运的人



☆Town Hall:市政厅



☆strike

strike the clock

Listen,the clock is striking.

strike twelve 数字表示敲击的次数



敲门用knock,敲钟用strike

hit和strike在一定时候可以互换,都是一次性打,strike:hit hard

beat:连续不断的打 beat drums:敲鼓



☆in twenty minutes' time 20分钟之后

根据时态判别in表示的含义:如果是将来式,in+段时间表示一段时间以后



minutes' 名词所有格

2.可以用来表达时间:an hour's time

☆The clock has stopped!

现在完成时,强调过去动作导致的结果。

看一般过去式,只要按字面意思理解即可。

看过去完成式,要读出潜在的意思。
