(line 6-7)它们当中所运用的语言与现在人们所运用的语言大不相同。
[句法分析] 本句为简单句，used in them 为过去分词短语作定语过去分词短语作定语：单个的过去分词通常作前置定语，而分词短语作定语常后置，相当于一个定语从句。
He is an advanced teacher. 他是个先进老师。
The play performed by the students was a great success.= The play which was performed by the students was a great success.由学生们表演的那个戏剧获得了巨大成功。
巧辩异同：过去分词、现在分词的被动式与不定式的被动式作定语的区别这三种形式作定语，主要是体现在动作发生的时间上(1) 过去分词表示的动作或是在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生，或是没有一定的时间性，即表示被动关系。
(2) 现在分词的被动式作定语时表示的动作正在发生或是与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。
(3) 不定式的被动式作定语时，表示一个未来的动作试翻译并比较下列句子：①你读过狄更斯写的小说吗？(在谓语动词所表示动作之前发生)Have you read the novels written by Dickens?②他是一个被所有人爱戴的人。
(没有时间性，只表示被动)He is a man loved and respected by all.③听！正在演唱的这首歌很受学生的欢迎。
Listen! The song being sung is very popular with the students.④将在明天会议上讨论的问题非常重要。
The question to be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting is a very important one.2.Many people do not read them because they think they are old-fashioned and boring, and have nothing to do with life today. (line 8-10) 许多人不读这些书，因为他们认为这些书已经过时了，让人厌烦，并且和现实生活没有联系。
[句法分析] 本句为复合句，because 引导原因状语从句。
★old-fashioned复合形容词的构成：形容词词干+ 名词-ed middle-aged 中年的cold-blooded 冷血的形容词词干+ 形容词词干red-hot 炽热的dark-blue 深蓝色的形容词词干+ 现在分词ordinary-looking 相貌平平的funny-looking 样子滑稽的形容词词干+ 过去分词ready-made 现成的，制作好的clean-washed 洗得干净的副词词干+ 现在分词或过去分词hard-working 勤劳的deep-stuck 深陷的名词词干+ 形容词词干life-long 终身的snow-white 雪白的名词词干+ 现在分词/过去分词peace-loving 热爱和平的man-made 人造的数词词干+ 名词-ed / 名词-形容词three-legged 三条腿的four-year-old 4岁的★have nothing to do with 与……没有联系have something to do with 与……有联系他总是说与那个事故没有关系但实际上他与那个事故是有关系的。
He always says that he has nothing to do with the accident but in fact he has something to with it.[用下列短语的真确形式填空]care nothing for 对……满不在乎for nothing 免费make nothing of 不了解think nothing of 对……满不在乎nothing…but…只是nothing like 什么也比不上；完全不像①He cares nothing for money. (不在乎钱)②She got the tickets for nothing.

Some animals learn to adapt themselves to the changes of weather quickly.我将改变我的教学方法以满足新生的需要。
I will adapt my teaching methods to meet the need of the freshmen.[巧辩异同] adapt, adjust, fit, suit 与match 它们都有“适应”的意思。
(1) adapt 是指修改或改变，是某物或某人做些改变以适应新条件。
(2) adjust 是指借正当的判断或熟练的技巧调整调节以使两者互相适应。
你把望远镜调节到适合你的目光后，你才能看得见。
