重点短语透视
【短语1】be short for
【课文原句】Ghan is short for Afghanistan. (Page 23)
【点拨】be short for意思是“ 的缩写”。这句话的意思是“Ghan 是Afghanistan的缩写”。再如：
WTO is short for World Trade Organization.
【拓展】与be short for相似的另一个短语是be short of，但它的意思是“不足，短缺”。如： The village is short of water.
【短语2】not … any more
【课文原句】… so they didn’t need the camels any more. (Page 23)
【点拨】not…any more表示“不再”。这句话的意思是“ 所以他们不再需要骆驼了”。再如：
Why doesn’t she speak to me any more?
【拓展】no longer / not … any longer, no more / not … any more都含有“不再”的意思，但它们的用法却不相同。
no longer / not … any longer强调时间和动作的延续，常与表示状态的动词和延续性动词连用，如live, wait, stay, be 等。常用现在时。如：
He’s no longer living here. （= He doesn’t live here any longer. ）
no more / not … any more 则强调数量、次数上不再增加，强调动作终止的结果，因此常与名词或瞬间动词如hear, see, leave等连用。常用将来时或过去时。如：
Li Lei wanted no more money from his parents. （= Li Lei didn’t want money from his parents any more. ）
He said he would go there no more. (= He said he wouldn’t go there any more. )
重点语法聚焦
过去分词作定语用法小结
一般情况下，形容词常常在句中作定语，但是在模块3中我们却多看到下面的情况：We saw 上面例子中出现的过去分词均在句中作定语，过去分词是非谓语动词的一种形式，可在句中作定语修饰名词。本期“攻克要点”我们就帮大家一起来归纳总结一下过去分词作定语的情况。
1. 过去分词作定语时的位置
单个的过去分词作定语时，一般将其放在被修饰词之前，有时单个的过去分词也可以作后置定语，用以强调动作。如：
They needed much more qualified teachers.
We decided to change the material used.
过去分词短语作定语要放在被修饰词的后面，作后置定语，其作用相当于一个定语从句。如：The girl dressed in red is my sister. (= The girl who is dressed in red is my sister.)
Is there anything planned for tonight? (= Is there anything that has been planned for tonight?)
