二、学海导航
【学法指要】
单元难点疑点思路明晰
1. Born a free man，he was now in chains . 他生来就是个自由人，现在却戴上了镣铐。
〖明晰〗(1) Born a free man为过去分词短语作状语，相当于一个让步状语从句的省略。完整句子为：Although he was born a free man . 再如：Beaten black and blue，he didn\'t go down on his knees . 虽然被打得遍体鳞伤，他仍不屈膝投降。
(2) in chains / irons 戴着镣铐；在囚禁中。如：
He was in chains and disgrace . 他被囚而受辱。
All the murderers in chains will soon be sentenced to death . 所有戴着镣铐的凶手很快就要被判处死刑。
已学过的由“in ＋ 名词的复数”的介词短语如：
in pairs 成双地 / in circles 围成圆圈形 / in tears 哭着
One man had a head wound and was in pain . 一个人头部受伤，非常疼痛。
had a head wound＝be wounded in the head
in pain 疼痛难忍。已学过的由“ in ＋ 名词的单数”的介词短语， 如： in public公开地 /in silence无声地 / in battle 在战斗中…
2. What was to become of them all，he wondered .他感到纳闷，他们的下场将会怎样呢？
〖明晰〗(1) become of (人或事物的)结果是；使遭遇。如：What will become of her now that her husband has died ? 她丈夫一死，真不知她的遭遇将如何。
What has become of the book I put here yesterday ?我昨天放在这儿的书哪去啦？
(2) he wondered 置于句尾作插入语，意思是“他想知道”。
