1.About the Author
Guy de Maupassant,the well-known French shortstory writer and novelist,was born on August 5,1850.When he was young,he had a great interest in literature.He practised writing literary works under the guidance of the famous novelist Flaubert.And Balzac was another teacher of his.So he wrote in the tradition of 19th century French realism,and became one of the most famous French critical realists of the late 19th century.
Maupassant's stories were built around the everyday life of the simple humble people.He had a fine use of irony.His style was direct and simple,with attention to realistic details.He saw clearly the toil,sufferings and the bitterly ironic happenings in human lives.At his best,he was able to put into a few pages a life story which would take other writers a whole volume to describe.
Most of Maupassant's works are about the peasant life in Normandy,the France-Prussian War and the life of the petty bourgeoisie.As he had held a number of government positions in Parice since 1871,he became familiar with the life of the government workers.And this experience helped him create his best short story“The Diamond Necklace”,from which our present text is adapted.Almost a hundred years after its first publication the story still touches the readers deeply to their hearts.
Maupassant suffered a great deal from illness in his late life.Yet he struggled to continue writing with tremendous will power.He had but a short life,and died at the age of 43(on July 6,1893).
2.About the Text
This short play is a stage version of The Necklace,one of Maupassant's best-known short stories.It tells about a vain woman,wife of a small clerk,who borrowed a diamond necklace to go to the palace ball.But unfortunately she lost the necklace.Then she and her husband had to work ten long years to pay for it.
The heroine was named Mathilde,who used to be a pretty girl.Being born in a clerk's family,she had no hope of marrying a man of wealth and position.So she let herself be married to Pierre Loisel,a small clerk in a government office.They were not rich and lived a simple life.
One evening her husband brought home an invitation for the palace ball.It was the first time in their lives that they had been invited to an important occasion like this.But the wife did not feel happy at all,because she had no dress for the ball.As the ball was very important to Pierre,he decided to buy her a new dress,which cost about four hundred francs.That was all he had saved.But Mathilde had no jewellery and she didn't want to go to the palace without jewelley.Her husband suggested that she should go and borrow some jewellery from a rich friend of hers,Jeanne Forrestier.Jeanne was very kind and friendly.She brought out her jewelry for Mathilde to choose from.Mathilde borrowed a diamond necklace.
Mathilde was the prettiest woman that night at the palace.She was a great success.All the men wished to dance with her.She danced madly,forgetting herself,her husband,her home and all.
On the way home Mathilde found that the necklace was gone.She and her husband returned to the palace and looked for it in every room but couldn't find it,and they never saw it again.They had to borrow thirty-six thousand francs,buy a diamond necklace exactly like the one they had lost and return it to Jeanne.Then they worked hard for ten years to pay for the money.
At the end of ten hard years,Mathilde had changed a great deal and looked so old that Jeanne couldn't recognize her when they met in a park one day.When Jeanne heard Mathilde's story,she was amazed.She told Mathilde that the necklace she had lent her ten years before was made of glass.It was worth five hundred francs at the most.

T:What an advanture experience!Sometimes,all of us are likely to be in trouble.What should we do when we get into trouble?Now we'll have a discussion in pairs.Begin,please.
(After two minutes,teacher collects some advice from the students and shows them on the screen.)

…
T:Your advice is very good.
Step Ⅲ. Warming up
T:Today a foreign senior boy and a Chinese senior girl are travelling on a small island.They have adventurous experience.Now open your books and look at the pictures in Unit 15.Make up a story about something happening to the boy and the girl.Prepare it in four groups.
(Teacher gives students enough time to prepare it.Then ask one group to read the story.)
T:(After some minutes.)Are you ready?Now I'll ask one group to read the story to the whole class.Which group will try?
Group 2:A foreign senior boy and a Chinese senior girl were travelling on a small island when they met an old wise man with long beard.They talked with the man,who had a map in his hand.He told them there were valuables in a certain castle according to the map.So the boy and the girl came to a secret chambers in a mysterious castle on the island and they found a box full of jewellery.They were very excited.And they were thinking about what to do when a huge monster appeared.The monster was angry with them and began to run after them.They were frightened and ran quickly.But the monster went on running after them and they couldn't get away from the monster.At that time the wise old man suddenly appeared before them and helped them leave the dangerous situation.At last he told them that everyone liked treasures.But only when we worked hard by hand to get treature could we own them.
T:Thank you for your story.
Step Ⅳ. Listening
T:Now let's do some listening.Listen to a short play on the tape.The play has three scenes.There are two questions for each scene.First we'll learn some new words on the blackboard.(Write the words“footprints,shoeprints,fingerprints”on the blackboard.)We have known“print”means“a mark mad e on a surface showing the shape pattern of a thing”.Can you guess the meaning of the words?
S4:I'll try.I think“footprint”is a mark made by the foot of a person or an animal.
S5:I think“shoeprint”is a mark made by a sole of a shoe.
S6:“fingerprint”is a mark or pattern of lines made by the end of a finger.
T:(Teacher shows some pictures on the screen.)
Yes.You are right.Look at the pictures.(Teacher points at them.)This is a footprint.This is a shoeprint and this is a fingerprint.
footprint shoeprint fingerprint
(Teacher writes the words“tire,mystery”on the blackboard and explain them.)
T:Now look at your books on Page 11 and go through the information and make sure you know what you must do before listening.
(After a while.)
T:Now,do you know what you should do after you listen to the tape?
Ss:Yes.
T:I'll play the tape three times.For the first time,you just listen to get a general idea.Then listen to the tape a second time and do the exercise.At last you can check your answers when I play the taperecorder for the third time.Let's begin.
(If the students have any difficulty,teacher plays it once more.At last,teacher checks the answers.)
Step Ⅴ. Speaking
T:You have read,seen and heard many exciting stories.Have you written any plays?
Ss:No,we haven't.
T:Today we'll write one to give the rein to your imagination.Before doing it,first read the situations and choose one of them to make up a short play,according to the situation you choose.Meanwhile,pay attention to the meanings of a few words:scary,mysterious,dormitory.
(Teacher writes them on the blackboard and explains them to the students.)Now you are divided into three groups.One group,one short play.After ten minutes,I will ask each group to act out the play in front of the class.
(After some time,teacher asks each group to act out the play before class.)
Sample plays:
The Secret of the Black Tower

A:It's getting dark.I think we can't go home tonight.
B:I'm tired.We'd better find a place to spend the night.
C:Where shall we go?There is no house for us to live in.
B:Look!There is a tower over there.Let's go to see if we can spend the night there.
(They walk to the tower and enter it.)
A:It's so dark here.But we have no choice but so stay here.
C:It's so large and empty.I feel afraid.
B:Don't be afraid.There are even no windows in the walls.Nobody can move in if we put a big stone at the entrance.

A:Listen!
B:It may be a mouse.
A:Really?Let me see.(Lighting a match and walking around)Oh,dear!

(B and C walk to the man.)
C:Let me see.Oh,no.I think he has been dead for a long time.
A:I think so.He doesn't look like a modern person.He seems to be a person from ancient times.
C:Oh,I know.Look at his head.He may be a Buddhist monk.I have read a report.It says that a buddhist monk doesn't degenerate because he had taken some special drug before he died.
B:In that case,his body is worth studying.
C:Of course.Many countries want to get it.However,no one knows where it is.
A:What should we do with it?

Ss:Yes.
T:Look at the sentences on the blackboard.Here we use“can't”and“must”.Who can tell me how to use them?
S7:When we are very sure of something,we use “must”in positive sentences and“can't or cannot”in negative sentences.

1.You could borrow some jewellery from your friend Jeanne who is married to a rich man.
2.You may not know that the necklace I returned isn't the one that I had borrowed.
3.Do you have a friend who might/may lend you some jewellery?
(Teacher asks one or two students to sum up the usages of“may,might and could”.
S8:From the sentences,we can see in positive sentences we use“could,may or might”and in negative sentences we use“may not/might not”.
T:Yes.But when we want to ask a question,what modal verbs shall we use to express“possible”?
S9:I think we should use“can,may,could,might”.

T:Today we'll learn a new text.Now open your books on Page 15.In this text Mrs Brown says that plays are like TV shows and computer games.Please read it quickly and find out their similarities.
(Teacher gives students time enough to prepare.Then asks some students to give the answers.)
Suggested answers:
1.TV,plays and computer games all have charecters playing different roles and acting out a story.
2.TV shows and plays both tell a story.We can watch actors perform the action of the story and they also speak lines written like the dialogue in a play.
T:OK.You are right.In the text,perhaps there are a few sentences which are hard to understand.Look at the screen.
1.I don't like plays that much.
2.Since we do know a lot about plays,why don't we try writing a play of our own.
3.…writing a simple play is not that difficult,and besides,we have to start somewhere if we want to learn how to write plays.
4.…we might come up with a very good story.
T:Please pay attention to the words and phrases underlined.In the first sentence,“that”means“so”.In the second sentence,“do”is used to emphasize;“try writing”means:attempt and do sth. as a possible way.And in the third sentence,“besides”is also adverb and means“also,in addition”.In the last sentence,“come up with”means“think of;produce”.Now do you understand them?(Ss:Yes.)Look at some examples on the screen.

Step Ⅳ. Discussion
T:Now you have known the general idea of the text.Please look at the first three questions on Page 16.Let's have a discussion to answer them.You are divided into three groups to prepare them.One group,one question.Then I'll ask some students to give us their ideas.(Teacher gives students a few minutes to do it.At the same time,teacher goes among them and join them in the discussion.At last,teacher asks some students to talk about their ideas.
Sample answers:
1.TV shows,computer games and plays all have particular scenes.But the characters and stories in TV shows look more real while the ones in plays are boasted.The ones in computer games are imagined.
2.In real life we can act different roles,such as,a student,a son,a daughter,a brother,a sister and so on.Different roles act in different ways.
3.I agree life is like theatre.I think theatre comes from life and it is a reflection of life.But at the same time theatre is boasted.

Step Ⅰ.Greetings
Greet the whole class as usual.
Step Ⅱ.Revision
T:In this unit,we have learned the usages of modal verbs which express“guess”.Now let's have a little quiz.Look at the screen.There are three sentences on the screen.According to these situations,write another three sentences,using“must/might/may/could/can't”.
(Teacher shows the following three sentences on the screen and asks students to write down their answers on the paper.)
1.Perhaps the theatre will be full.
2.I'm sure that necklace is valuable.
3.I'm sure the medicine isn't in the cupboard.
(After two minutes.)
T:Are you ready?(Ss:Yes.)Now,please read your sentences to the class.Any volunteers?

S3:The third sentence is:The medicine can't be in the cupboard.
T:Well done.From these sentences we can know if we are sure about something,we can use“must”in positive sentences and“cannot or can't”in negative sentences.When we are not very sure about our guess,we can use“might,may and could”for possibility.Now let's sum up the situations of medal verbs which expresses “guess”.
Step Ⅲ.Summary of the usage of modal
verbs which express “guess”.
T:All right.Look at the form on the screen.
(Teacher shows the following form on the screen,and then begins to explain.)
T:In positive sentences,if we are sure about some situation,we can use“must”to express“certain”,in Chinese“想必，準(zhǔn)”.That is to say,if we are sure about the present situation,we can use“must+v.”;if we are sure about the present continuous situation,we can use“must be doing”;if we are sure about the situation which has already happened,we can use“must have+p.p.”,but we can't use“mustn't”to express“guess”,because“mustn't”means“forbid”.For example,look at the blackboard.
(Teacher writes the following sentences on the Bb.)
(Bb:Where is Mary?-She must be in the library.Now he must be waiting for us at the school gate.It must have rained last night,for the ground outside is wet.)
T:In positive sentences,there is still another situation.If we are not sure about some situation,we can use“may/might”to express possible,in Chinese“可能”,but we can't use“can”.That is to say,if we are not sure about the present situation,we can use“may/might+v.”;if we are not sure about the present continuous situation,we can use“may/might+be doing”;if we are not sure about the situation which has already happened,we can use “may/might+have p.p.”.Look at the examples.
(Teacher writes the following on the Bb.)
(Bb:He may be at home.Let's go and see him.
It's nearly seven o'clock.Perhaps Jack may be watching CCTV news.
It may/might have rained during the night.)
T:In negative sentences,if we are sure about the present situation,we can use“can't+v.”;if we are sure about the past situation,we can use“can't/couldn't have+p.p.”In interrogative sentences;we can use “can/could+subject+v.…?”to guess the present situation;if we guess the past situation,we can use“can/could+subject+have+p.p.…?”Look at some examples.
(Teacher writes the following sentences on the blackboard.)

Reference for Teaching
一、異域風(fēng)情
Drama
Britain is one of the world's major centres for theatre,and has a long and rich dramatic tradition.There are companies based in London and in many other cities and towns;in addition,numerous touring companies visit theatres,festivals and other venues,including arts and sports centres and social clubs.
Many contemporary British playwrights have received international recognition.
Britain has about 300 theatres intended for professional use which can seat between 200 and 2300 people.Some are privately owned,but most are owned either municipally or by non-profit-making organizations.Over 40 of these have resident theatre companies receiving subsidies from the Arts Councils and Regional Arts Boards.In summer there are also open air theatres,including one in London's Regent's Park and the Minack Theatre,which is on a clifftop near Land's End in Cornwall.
二、知識(shí)歸納
(一)I don't think that…
在含賓語(yǔ)從句的復(fù)合句中，按原句意思應(yīng)放在從句中的否定詞有時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移到主句
的謂語(yǔ)中，這種現(xiàn)象叫做否定轉(zhuǎn)移(Transferred Negation)。主句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是think,believe,feel,suppose,guess,appear,seem,expect,imagine等表示“看法”“感覺(jué)”的動(dòng)詞時(shí)，常用否定轉(zhuǎn)移。
e.g.I don't think(that)you need worry.
(I think you needn't worry.)
我認(rèn)為你無(wú)須著急。
I don't believe(that)you two have met,have you?
(I believe you two haven't met.)
我相信你們倆還未見(jiàn)過(guò)面，是嗎？
使用否定轉(zhuǎn)移時(shí)，還須注意以下幾點(diǎn)：
1.并不是所有表示“看法……感覺(jué)”的動(dòng)詞都能用于否定轉(zhuǎn)移，如hope,trust,be afraid,fear等動(dòng)詞就不能用于這種形式。
2.下列情況，上述用于否定轉(zhuǎn)移的動(dòng)詞也不宜用否定轉(zhuǎn)移結(jié)構(gòu)。
(1)上述動(dòng)詞意義發(fā)生變化時(shí)：
e.g.Let us suppose A doesn't equal B.
咱們假定A不等于B。
(2)當(dāng)主句謂語(yǔ)有do,does等強(qiáng)調(diào)詞時(shí)：
e.g.I do think you shouldn't go there.
我實(shí)在認(rèn)為你不應(yīng)該去那里。
(3)當(dāng)主句中有情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或副詞修飾時(shí)：
e.g.I can't believe that they are married.
我不相信他們結(jié)婚了。
I often think that I'm not fit for the job.
我常想我不適合這個(gè)工作。
(4)當(dāng)句子以疑問(wèn)句形式出現(xiàn)時(shí)：
Do you think that it is true?
你認(rèn)為這不對(duì)嗎？
(5)當(dāng)主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與另一個(gè)動(dòng)詞并列時(shí)：
e.g.I should not only think but also be sure that it won't rain tonight.
我不僅該認(rèn)為而且該肯定今晚天不會(huì)下雨。
(6)當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)從句中是not/never…too…(越……越好，無(wú)論怎樣……也不過(guò)分)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，不能用否定轉(zhuǎn)移結(jié)構(gòu)，因?yàn)檫@時(shí)整個(gè)句子不是否定的，而是肯定的。
e.g.I think he can not do the work too well.
我想他干得越出色越好。
(7)當(dāng)從句中含有every,all,both,each,many等詞時(shí)：
e.g.I suppose both answers are not right.
I don't suppose both answers are right.
我不是認(rèn)為兩個(gè)答案都對(duì)。
3.從句中除not以外的否定詞(如never,no,hardly,little,few,seldom,scarcely等)不能直接轉(zhuǎn)移到主句中去。
e.g.I thought he had never come here. I never thought he had come here.
本句意是：I didn't think he had ever come here.
4.否定轉(zhuǎn)移的句子構(gòu)成反意疑問(wèn)句時(shí)，如果主句的主語(yǔ)是第一人稱(chēng)，附加問(wèn)句部分要與賓語(yǔ)從句取得一致。
e.g.I don't think that you can get there in time,can you?
我認(rèn)為你不能及時(shí)到達(dá)那里，你能不能呢？
I think that they are coming tomorrow aren't they?
我認(rèn)為他們明天來(lái)，對(duì)嗎？
(二)cost的用法
1.vt.價(jià)值(多少錢(qián))，需要(多少錢(qián))；花費(fèi)金錢(qián)，花費(fèi)時(shí)間
e.g.How much does the book cost?
這本書(shū)需要多少錢(qián)？
My hat cost twenty dollars.
我的帽子價(jià)值二十美元。
The journey cost me more than 50 dollars/more than ten hours.
這次旅行花了我五十美元/十多個(gè)小時(shí)。
2.cost還可表示“使付出(代價(jià))，使……失去……”。
e.g.It cost me a lot of work.
它使我付出了很多勞動(dòng)。
Careless driving cost him his life.
開(kāi)車(chē)不小心使他喪生。
The battle cost the king 2000 men.
這次戰(zhàn)斗使國(guó)王損失了二千人。
3.cost作名詞，“費(fèi)用，成本，價(jià)錢(qián)”。
e.g.She just had to pay for the cost of food.
他只需付飯錢(qián)。
It was sold under cost price.
那個(gè)東西賠本賣(mài)掉了。
What's the cost of the car?
那輛汽車(chē)得花多少錢(qián)？
(三)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表推測(cè)的用法歸納：
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞中的must,can,could,should,ought to,may,might等都表示推測(cè)。其中must的推測(cè)性最大；can/could(should/ought to)次之；may/might最小。must表推測(cè)時(shí)只用于肯定句中；can/could用于否定句、疑問(wèn)句中；may/might用于肯定句、否定句中。下面就它們的具體用法進(jìn)行講解。
1.must的用法
(1)must可以對(duì)現(xiàn)在、現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行的情況進(jìn)行推測(cè)。
e.g.Judging by his accent,he must be from the south.
聽(tīng)他的口音，他一定是南方人。
此句的反意疑問(wèn)句為：isn't it?(因must后是系動(dòng)詞be)
Tom bought a lot of apples.He must like eating apples.
湯姆買(mǎi)了很多蘋(píng)果，他一定喜歡吃蘋(píng)果。
此句的反意疑問(wèn)句為：doesn't he?(因must后是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞like)
It is eleven o'clock at night and the lights are off.They must be sleeping now.
現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是深夜十一點(diǎn)且燈都關(guān)了，他們一定是睡覺(jué)了。
此句的反意疑問(wèn)句為：aren't they?(must后接的是be sleeping，是對(duì)現(xiàn)正在進(jìn)行的情況的推測(cè))
(2)must還可以對(duì)過(guò)去的情況進(jìn)行推測(cè)，用must have done。
e.g.The ground is very wet.It must have rained last night.
地面很濕，昨天晚上一定下雨了。
must have done的反意疑問(wèn)句有三種情況：
①若句中含有過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，用一般過(guò)去時(shí)完成反意疑問(wèn)句。如例句的反意疑問(wèn)句為：didn't it?
②若句中含有過(guò)去完成時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，用過(guò)去完成時(shí)完成反意疑問(wèn)句。
e.g.We must have learned 2000 words by the end of last term,hadn't we?
③若句中不含任何時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)完成反意疑問(wèn)句。
e.g.He must have gone to Beijing,hasn't he?
他一定是去北京了，是嗎？
2.can/could的用法
(1)can后跟動(dòng)詞原形；表示對(duì)現(xiàn)在情況的否定和疑問(wèn)推測(cè)。
e.g.Mr.Li has gone to Beijing.The man at the gate can't be him.
李老師去北京了，門(mén)口的那個(gè)人不可能是他。
The watch is not yours,who else's can it be?
這塊表不是你的，它可能是誰(shuí)的呢？
(2)can/could have done是對(duì)過(guò)去發(fā)生的情況的推測(cè)。
e.g.-Can they have finished the work?
他們可能完成工作了嗎？
-No,they haven't finished it.
他們不可能完成它。
3.may/might的用法
might比may更委婉、含蓄或更加不肯定。
e.g.He may/might be English.
他可能是英國(guó)人。
She may/might have gone to the library.
她可能去圖書(shū)館了。
4.should/ought to的用法
should/ought to表推測(cè)，意為“理應(yīng)，應(yīng)該”。
e.g.They left yesterday.They should be home by now.
他們昨天就離開(kāi)了，現(xiàn)在理應(yīng)到家了。

答案：was invited to
5.瑪麗和格林已經(jīng)結(jié)婚30多年了。
Mary___________Green for over thirty years.
答案：has been married to
(二)單句改錯(cuò)
1.The scenery in the park was very moving.
簡(jiǎn)析：把scenery改為scene。scenery是不可數(shù)的集體名詞，是從審美的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看自然風(fēng)景；而scene指從某處所見(jiàn)之景色，但多半包含人與動(dòng)作。
2.He was the older of her two sons.
簡(jiǎn)析：把older改為elder。指兄弟姐妹中年齡較大的要用elder。
3.I don't think it will rain tomorrow,do I?
簡(jiǎn)析:把do I改為“will it”。當(dāng)陳述部分是“I/we think/believe/expect/suppose/imagine+賓語(yǔ)從句”時(shí)，反意問(wèn)句應(yīng)當(dāng)與從句一致，若有否定轉(zhuǎn)移現(xiàn)象，反意問(wèn)句用肯定式。
4.How pretty the flower looks in the girl!
簡(jiǎn)析：把in改為on。in后常接表示顏色或服飾的名詞；on后一般接人，表示“某物附在身上”。
5.She married to a man from America.
簡(jiǎn)析：去掉to或在married前加was。“和某人結(jié)婚”只能用marry sb.或be/get married to sb.。
6.The book is well worth being read.
簡(jiǎn)析：把being read改為reading或?qū)orth改為worthy of。參見(jiàn)同義辨析(三)。
7.Would you like to call on his house?
簡(jiǎn)析：把call on改為all at。call on和call at都可表示“拜訪”習(xí)慣上，call on+人；call at+地點(diǎn)。
8.How long has he recognized you?
簡(jiǎn)析：把recognized改為known。recognize表示“認(rèn)出”以前認(rèn)識(shí)的人或事物，是終止性動(dòng)詞，不能與段時(shí)間的狀語(yǔ)連用。若指持續(xù)性動(dòng)作，用know。
9.I don't think English is too hard to be learnt.
簡(jiǎn)析：把be learnt改為learn。表語(yǔ)形容詞后的不定式常用主動(dòng)形式表示被動(dòng)。
10.The government has carried out all their promises.
簡(jiǎn)析：把their改為its或has改為have。government是集體名詞，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，若將其看成是一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)形式；若強(qiáng)調(diào)整體中的各個(gè)成員時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
五、高考真題
1.(2003安徽春招)Naturally,after I told her what to do,my daughter__________go and do the opposite.
A.can B.must
C.may D.need
簡(jiǎn)析：選B。從naturally“自然地、無(wú)疑地、確定地”的提示可知選B，must意為“必定、肯定”。這句話的意思是：“毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，我告訴過(guò)女兒要做什么之后，她一定會(huì)做出相反的事情來(lái)。”
2.(NMET 2002)-Is John corning by train?
-He should,but he__________not.He likes driving his car.

簡(jiǎn)析：選C。由答句中的should“應(yīng)該”乘火車(chē)“及轉(zhuǎn)折詞but和補(bǔ)充句He likes driving his car可知應(yīng)選C。
3.(2002北京)-I heard they went sking in the mountains last winter.
-It__________true because there was little snow there.
A.may not be B.won't be
C.couldn't be D.mustn't be
