Unit 3 Inventors and inventions[导语]谈起“发明”，我们脑中浮现的总是飞机、大炮、电脑等这些高科技产品。
而下面的几个小发明虽然与高科技毫不沾边，但却同样能为我们的生活带来极大便利。
Ideas for creating a small inventionA small invention can do big things when it comes to making a task easier to do.When looking for a small invention idea，start by checking your kitchen drawers and cabinets.Is there something you need to help you in a task? Look in the bathroom and see if you can improve on the way something works.If you can create an item that does a job around the house, you have a small invention of your own.KitchenDinner plates have not changed in centuries except for the different materials used to make them.When you need to store leftover dinners，you usually wrap them in aluminum foil and plastic wrap.Dinner plate covers would save money and look much neater than the usual disposable covers.A spaghetti drainer flexible enough to fit inside a pot would be a tool every cook would have in stock.You would be able to take the pasta out of the boiling water and drain it at the same time，saving the cook from picking up a heavy pot of boiling water.BathroomA bathroom toilet paper dispenser that has an extra roll readywill solve the problem of running out of the necessary tissue paper.This can offer a rescue when your inconsiderate family member has emptied the toilet paper roll.[词海拾贝]1．cabinet n．贮藏柜，陈列柜2．aluminum foil铝箔3．drainer n．过滤器4．dispenser n．自动取物器[问题思考]判断正误(T/F)。

Unit 3 Inventors and inventions grammar课时作业Ⅰ.单句语法填空1．Is there anything ________ particular that you want to talk about?答案：in in particular为固定的介词短语，作后置定语，修饰anything，意为“特别的”。
2．If we ________ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.答案：had exchanged该句为错综时间虚拟条件句。
由last week可知，从句表示与过去事实相反，故应填had exchanged。
3．Although ________ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.答案：teased主语she与tease之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。
4．This is a poem that perfectly ________ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.答案：conveys由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。
定语从句的先行词为a poem，为单数形式，故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys，该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。
5．She always exchanges words ________ her neighbours.答案：with exchange ... with ... “和……交换……”。
6．Since then it ________ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.答案：has transformed由since then可知，句子应用现在完成时。
