情景导入
一位刚从北京转学来的新同学问你："Where is the library?" 你指着教学楼后面说：The library is behind the classroom building. There is a big playground next to it. 两句话，一个方位介词 behind，一个句型 There is，就把路指清楚了。
学会"设施名词 + 方位介词 + There be 句型"这套组合拳，你就能用英语把整个校园介绍给任何客人——就像亚运会时杭州的志愿者为外国朋友指路一样。
核心词汇
校园设施：
| 单词 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| classroom | 教室 | Our classroom is on the second floor. |
| library | 图书馆 | I read books in the library. |
| playground | 操场 | We play on the playground. |
| dining hall | 食堂 | The dining hall is big and clean. |
| science lab | 科学实验室 | The science lab is new. |
| teachers' office | 教师办公室 | The teachers' office is next to our classroom. |
方位介词：in（在……里）、on（在……上）、under（在……下）、behind（在……后面）、next to（紧挨着）、in front of（在……前面）、between...and...（在……和……之间）、near（在……附近）
句型与语法
核心句型：There be（某处有某物）
- There is a library in our school.（单数用 is）
- There are two playgrounds behind the building.（复数用 are）
- 就近原则：be 动词看最近的名词——There is a desk and two chairs in the room.（先出现 a desk，用 is）
否定与疑问：
- There isn't a lab on this floor. / Is there a dining hall near the gate? — Yes, there is. / No, there isn't.
- How many libraries are there in your school? — There is only one.
问路与指路：Where is the library? — It's between the hall and the science lab. / Go straight and it's on your left.
听说训练
校园指路演练（一人问路，一人指路）：
- A: Excuse me, where is the library? — B: It's behind the classroom building, next to the science lab.
- A: Is there a dining hall in your school? — B: Yes, there is. It's near the school gate.
- A: How many classrooms are there? — B: There are more than thirty.
辨析对比
① There be vs have
- There is a lab in our school.（着眼"地点"，表示某处存在某物）
- Our school has a lab.（主语是"人或机构"，表示拥有）两句意思接近，但不能混搭成 There have ❌。
② in front of vs in the front of
- in front of：在（外部的）前面 → There is a tree in front of the building.（树在楼外面）
- in the front of：在（内部的）前部 → The teacher's desk is in the front of the classroom.（讲台在教室里面的前部）
另记：next to = 紧挨着（相邻）；near = 在附近（不一定相邻）。图书馆挨着实验室用 next to，学校离地铁站不远用 near。
文化角
英美中学的学生没有固定教室，而是走班上课，每人有一个 **locker（储物柜）**放书本。英国说"一楼"用 the ground floor，"二楼"才是 the first floor；美国则和中国一致。看英剧、美剧问楼层时可要留心！
易错点
- There have 混搭：There have a library in our school. ❌ → There is a library... ✅
- 就近原则忽略：There are a pen and two books on the desk. ❌ → There is a pen and two books... ✅（离 be 最近的是 a pen）
- in front of 多加 the：想说"楼前有棵树"却写成 in the front of the building，意思变成"楼内前部"。
- 回答 Is there...? 用 it：— Is there a lab? — Yes, it is. ❌ → Yes, there is. ✅
中考真题
— ______ there a reading room and two labs in your new school? — Yes. The reading room is really quiet, and I love reading there.
A. Is B. Are C. Has D. Have
✏️ 点击查看解答
答案：A
解析：本题考查 There be 句型的就近原则。虽然句中共有"一个阅览室 + 两个实验室"三处设施，但 be 动词只看最近的名词——a reading room 是单数，所以用 Is。C、D 两项 Has/Have 不能与 there 搭配构成"某处有"句型，直接排除。
考点
- There be 句型是七上核心语法：单复数选择（就近原则）、否定句、一般疑问句及其简答是三大命题点；
- 方位介词 behind / next to / between...and... / in front of 常考于看图选词和语法填空，There be 与 have 的区别是经典单选陷阱；
- 书面表达：介绍学校（My School）是七年级高频作文题，"There be + 设施 + 方位"是得分主力句型。

Part 2 · 短文：My School（介绍学校范文）
Welcome to my school! It is in Hangzhou, near a subway station. There are three tall buildings in my school. The classroom building is in the front, and the library is behind it. In the library, there are thousands of books. Next to the library, there is a new science lab. Our playground is big, and we play basketball on it after class. I like the reading room best, because it is quiet and bright. My school is beautiful, and I love it!
诵读小贴士：Part 2 每句都藏着一个方位介词或 There be，边读边在纸上画出校园地图——能画出来，说明你真读懂了。
