Asking a travel agent for more information

Work in pairs, one asks questions and the other answers these questions using the prompts .

Sample answers S=Student T=Travel agentS: Good morning, sir. I’m planning a cultural exchange tour for our

school orchestra to New York. May I ask you some questions about places in New York?T ： Sure. What do you want to know?S: I hear Carnegie Hall is very famous, but how many people can it

hold at a time?T: Well, it is the most famous concert hall in the world. Its main

hall can hold more than 3,000 people.S: Is there a guided tour?T: Yes, that’s right. There is a guided tour.S: Great. What about Lincoln Centre for the Performing Arts?T: This is place you can’t miss. You know there are many theatres,

cafes and restaurants there. You can have a wonderful time enjoying either the ballet, the opera or the circus.S: I’m sorry, but did you say we can enjoy the ballet, the opera and

the circus there? T: Exactly.

S: Would you mind telling me more about Bronx Zoo? What is it famous for?T: It’s a famous zoo because animals live in natural surroundings.

That is, there are no cages. You can reach there by subway easily.S: So you mean it is famous for its conservation program?T: Yes. You are right.S: I wonder how we can get to Coney Island. How much does it

cost?T: It’s cheap to travel there by ferry. You only need to pay for the

and only need to pay for the amusements one by one.T: Yes.S: Most of us want to watch a show on Broadway. How do we get

tickets for it? Is it very expensive?T: It depends. If it is one of the more popular shows, you have to

book tickets in advance. And it usually costs over $100.

climb them.1) lead to (especially of roads, paths, doors, signs, information, etc.) to go in a particular direction 通向There's a track that leads directly to the reservoir. lead to sth If an action or event leads to something, it causes

that thing to happen or exist: 导致Reducing speed limits should lead to fewer deaths

on the roads.

no longer 与 no more 的区别 一、意义区别 1. no longer 中的 longer 是副词 long 的比较级， long 有 after a certain point of time( 在某一时刻以后 ) 之意，着重表示时间的不再延续，意为“如今不再”。 no longer 等于 not... any longer 。 2. no more 中的 more 是 many / much 的比较级， more 有 again 之意，着重表示数量或程度的减少，意为“再也没有更多 ( 大 ) 的数量 ( 程度 )” 。 no more 等于 not... any more 。

二、时态区别 1. no longer / not... any longer 表示不再继续或再现过去某一时刻发生或存在而一直延续的动作 / 状态时，常用于过去时、现在时或将来时的句子中。如： He was no longer a thief. 他不再是小偷了。 如果没有重力，我们的脚就不能再站稳在地面上。 When there is no gravity, our feet no longer stay on the ground. 2. no more / not... any more 表示再也不重复过去反复发生的动作时，常用于过去时或将来时的句子中。如： 现在她再也不害怕了。 Now she wasn't afraid any more.

三、位置区别 当修饰动词时， no longer 通常置于 be 或行为动词前； no more 一般置于行为动词后。 not... any longer 与 not... any more 常置于句末。如： She could no longer find a way to get into the valley. 她再也找不到进山谷的路了。 Time or opportunity lost will return no more. 机不可失，时不再来。

四、修饰动词区别 1.no longer / not... any longer 习惯用来修饰表示状态的持续动词 ( 如 wait, live,

work 等 ) 。如： 别再等了。 Don’t wait any longer. 她不能再赶上他了。 She could not keep up with him any longer.2.no more / not... any more 通常用来修饰表示具

体动作的瞬间动词 ( 如 go, stand, visit 等 ) 。如： 我们不能再忍受了。 We couldn't stand it any more.

五、作用区别 两者都可用来修饰动词，在句中作状语。当 no more 作“不再 ( 有、存在 )” 解时，还可作定语和宾语。如： Later when they are far away from the earth and there is no more gravity, they find they are unable to stay in one place. 过后，当他们远离地球，到了不再有地球引力的地方时，他们发现自己不可能停留在一个地方不动。( 作定语 ) 我没有什么要说的了。 ( 作宾语 ) I have no more to say.

2. This theater-lined street is where plays and musicals become international hits.1) Here where plays and musicals become international hits is a predicative clause.这里 , 连

词 where 引导了一个表语从句 .

1. （ 2007 天津卷）The seaside here draws a lot of tourists every summer. Warm sunshine and soft sands make ________ it is . A. what B. which C. how D. where

2. (05 安徽 ) Great changes have taken place in that school. It is no longer _______ it was 20 years ago, _______ it was so poorly equipped.A. what; when B. that; which C. what; which D. when; that

2) hit noun [C]a thing or person that is very popular or successful: 大获成功的人或事The Beatles had a string of number-one hits in the 1960s.Your cake was a real hit at the party - everyone commented.They've just released a CD of their greatest hits (= their most successful songs).

3.Over 12 million people filled out paperwork to register and enter the USA here between 1892 and 1954. fill sth in/out to write the necessary information on an official document: 填写文件等to fill in a form/questionnaire

I believe "fill out" refers to the entire form (although "fill in" could be used for the entire form.)

"Fill in" refers to a particular field on the form. I don't think I've ever seen "fill out the blank"; it's always "fill in the blank."

So, at the overall level, "fill in" and "fill out" are interchangeable. When talking about a specific field, "fill in" is the only one used, as far as I know

fill out v. 填写 , 使长大 , 变大

• 1. 那么请您把每个包裹的报关表填写一下。 Now, will you please fill out these custom form for each package.

• 2. 填写那份问卷花了我好长一段时间。 • It took me quite a while to fill out the

questionnaire. • 3. 它（商标局）会寄给你标准表格要你填写。

It will send you standard form for you to fill out.

• 4. 她的脸胖起来了 . • Her cheeks began to fill out.

• Summary: Fill in 强调的是填写空白的内容而 Fill out 强调的是完整的填写。 看看下面这句话就好理解了： You need to fill in each blank till you fill out the form.

fill 常用短语 :fill in v. 填充 , 填写 , 填满 , 替代to do someone else’s work for them because they cannot or will not do it themselves: 代替Volunteers would fill in for teachers in the event of a strike.I'm not her regular secretary - I'm just filling in.fill (sth) up to become full, or to make something become full: 填满The seats in the hall were filling up fast.As she read the poem, their eyes filled up with tears.

• The river would soon ___ with mud if not dealt with properly.

• A fill up B be full of C fill in

A

•1.fill up with 是没有被动的 •2.① ： be filled with 侧重于动作和装的东西 example: The basket is filled with apples by the old man. ② ： be full of 侧重于状态 example: The bottle is full of water. 区别并不大，主要看你要写句字时的侧重点 full 是形容词；fill 是动词。 full ， fill 二者均与“满”有关。 full 是形容词，意思是“满的”，与 of 组成be full of 短语。 fill 做动词，意思是“装满”，与 with 组成 be filled with, 表示“用……把……装满”。
