19. Explanation 1. My first impression of Mrs Li was that she was nervous and shy. 我对李老师最初的印象是她既紧张又害羞。 impression 在此处为可数名词，意为“印象”。如：

20. What were your first impressions of New York?你对纽约的第一印象是什么？ The old church made a great impression on Tom. 那座古老的教堂给汤姆留下很深刻的印 象。 one’s (first) impression of 某人对……的 （最初）印象

22. 3. I’ve always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs Li just smiles, so that you don’t feel completely stupid! 我总是不愿意犯错误或者在说英语时念错词。李老师只是笑笑，你就不会感到自己是个大笨蛋。

23. 1）always强调“一直是这样”。另外，be always doing表示“老是，老……”，多半表示责难。如： He is always complaining about something. 他老是发牢骚。 He was always asking for money. 他老是要钱。 Why are you alwaysbiting your nails? 你为什么老是咬指甲？

24. 2）so that 在此处引导表示结果的状语从句， 意为“因此，这样……就”。如： She is very careful, so that she seldom makes a mistake. 她非常细心，因此她很少犯错。 Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead. 再也没有听到他的消息，因此我们怀疑 他是否死了。

25. 3）don’t feel completely stupid 并不觉得自己是个大笨蛋 don’t（否定词）和completely（表示 “全部”概念的词）放在一起表示部分 否定。又如： All is not gold that glitters. =Not all that glitters is gold. 发光的并不都是金子。

26. Everybodywouldn’t like it.=Not everybody would like it. 并不是每个人都会喜欢它。 He doesn’tknow everything about it. =He knows not everything about it. 对此他并不完全了解情况。

27. 4.She’s very strict—we don’t dare to say a word unless she asks us to.她非常严格，如果她不要求，我们连一句话也不敢说。 unless相当于if … not, 意为“要不是， 除非”，这句话也可以说成： We don’t dare to say a word if she doesn’t ask us to.

28. 又如： My father comes home before dinner every day, unless there is something urgent to do. =My father comes home before dinner every day, if there is not anything urgent to do. 除非有急事，我父亲每天晚上都在晚餐前 回家。

29. 注意：unless不可用于指尚未发生的事情的结果，因而不可用于“假想的”条件句中。如：注意：unless不可用于指尚未发生的事情的结果，因而不可用于“假想的”条件句中。如： We would have had a lovely holiday if it hadn’t rained every day. 要不是天天下雨的话， 我们的假日就过 得痛快了。 此句中的if …not 不可用unless来替换。

30. 又如： I’ll be sorry if he doesn’t come to the party. 万一他不来参加聚会，我就感到太遗憾 了。 此句中的if … not不可用unless 来替换。 此外，unless还可用于引出补充前言的 话，即是对刚说过的话想到要加些补充。 如：

31. She hasn’t got any hobbies — unless you call watching TV a hobby. 她没有任何嗜好，除非把看电视也算作嗜好的话。 Have a cup of tea — unless you’d prefer a cold drink. 喝一杯茶吧——除非你想喝冷饮。

32. 5. …because her teaching is so well organized and clear.……因为她的讲解非常有条理，很清楚。 organized为形容词，意为“有秩序 的；效率高的”。如： a highly organized person 一个很有条理的人 a well-organized office 工作效率高的办事处
