1.There is no need to be countries.
There is (no) need to do sth (没)有必要做某事
例There is no need to go yet; it’s still early.还没有必要去,天还早。
类似的结构有:
There is no reason to do sth.没有理由做某事

2.We’ve just heard a warning on the radio that a hurricane may be on its way.
1)that在句中引导同位语从句,作warning的同位语,引导同位语从句的连词有that、how、when、where、whether等。
例We eXPressed the hope that they would visit China again.我们表示希望他们再来中国访问。
注意:为了保持句子平衡,同位语和被说明的名词之间也可由别的词隔开。
例An idea came to her that she might do it in another way.她突然想到可以用另外一种方法来做这件事。
2)be on one’s way 动身或正在到(某处)的路上。
例I told the girl stuck on the lift help was on its way.我告诉那个被困在电梯里的女孩马上就会有人来帮忙的。
3.If the hurricane had happened during the day-time, there would have been many more deaths.
①death作“死亡”解时,是不可数名词,当其作可数名词,且用复数形式deaths时,表示死亡人数。
例The fire in LuoYang caused 309 deaths.
②本句为一个非真实条件句,表示与过去事实相反的假设,要用虚似语气。即在if-clause 中用过去完成时,在主句中用should/would + have +过去分词
例If you had taken my advice, that wouldn’t have happened.你要是接受我的忠告, 这就不会发生。
If the boy had been more careful, he wouldn’t have fallen ill.这孩子要是注意一点的话,他就不会生病。
4.People found the world outside their houses completely changed.
注意句子中find后跟的带过去分词的复合宾语结构,即find +宾语+宾语补足语(过去分词)在find the world changed中过去分词changed表示宾语所处的状态。
例I entered the room and found the Windows broken.我走进房里发现窗户被打破了。
They found the bridge washed away by the flood.他们发现桥被洪水冲走了。
5.One woman was lying in bed, awake, listening to the rushing winds.
①awake adj 在本句中用作状语表伴随状态。
例He hurried home looking behind,[ZZ(Q]full of fear.[ZZ)]
The thief hid himself in the corner, afraid of being caught.小偷躲在角落里,担心被人抓住。
Hopeless, we watched the houses being destroyed by the strong wind.我们无能为力,眼睁睁地看着房屋被风暴摧毁了。
②listening to the rushing winds.是-ing短语,在句中作伴随状语。
例The boy lay on the grass, looking up at the stars in the sky.那个男孩躺在草地上,仰望着空中的星星。
