The Winter Palace was built between 1754 and 1762 for Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. Unfortunately, Elizabeth died before the palace was completed and only Catherine the Great and her successors were able to enjoy the great interior (内部) of Elizabeth’s home. Many parts of the palace’s impressive interior have been remodeled since then, particularly after 1837, when a huge fire destroyed most of the building. Today the Winter Palace, together with four more buildings arranged side by side along the river embankment, houses the extensive collections of the Hermitage. The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia and is among the largest and most respected art museums in the world.
The museum was founded in 1764 when Catherine the Great bought a collection of 255 paintings from the German city of Berlin. Today, the Hermitage boasts over 2.7 million exhibits and displays, a diverse range of art and artifacts (手工艺品) from all over the world and throughout history (from Ancient Egypt to the early 20th century Europe). The Hermitage’s collections include works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian, a collection of Rembrandts and Rubens, many French Impressionist works by Renoir, Cezanne, Monet and Pissarro, and several works by Rodin. The collection is really worth a stop for all those interested in art and history. The experts say that if you were to spend a minute looking at each exhibit on show in the Hermitage, you would need 11 years before you’d seen them all. However, we suggest you choose a guided tour instead!

It was warm for a Sunday afternoon in early January. Kevin loved being outdoors among the wild rosebushes in front of his house with a view of distant mountains.
It had been a good day for his wife, Sharon, too. They spent the morning in front of the house, talking and drinking tea. Sharon felt strong and tried her best to cook, starting a pot of homemade soup — a task that would have been nothing a few years ago, but is a little hard for her now. Her illness had left her weak, often puzzled.
Sharon was the take-charge person in the family. She was seldom sick until 1997, when she began suffering from terrible headaches. One day at work, colleagues said she didn’t look right and urged her to go to the hospital. She rose from her chair and fell over. She could hear voices, but couldn’t speak. It looked as if she’d had a stroke.
Other stroke-like symptoms (症状) followed. She had difficulty walking. She ran a fever all the time. The headaches never stopped. She and Kevin spent all their savings seeing doctors and on medical tests.
In 2000, physicians said Sharon had brain damage that left her with symptoms resembling dementia (痴呆症). Once, she visited a familiar store and couldn’t remember where the exit was. Another time, she was making spaghetti, but didn’t know what to do after the water boiled.
After seeing specialists, Kevin and Sharon came to believe that exposure (暴露) to mold had caused Sharon’s condition. Her world was certainly getting worse. At times she needed a wheelchair. The woman who never liked asking for help had to stay at home and rely on her husband.
60. Why is it hard for Sharon to cook now
A. She got seriously ill.
B. She became old.
C. She couldn’t speak.
D. She has not cooked for a long time.
61. The underlined word “resembling” means “______”.
A. like B. as C. equal to D. representing
62. According to the passage, what is the cause of Sharon’s illness
A. Working too hard. B. Exposure to the sun.
C. Exposure to mold. D. Cooking too much.
63. After reading the passage, we can infer that Sharon was a(n) ______ woman before she became ill.
A. independent B. clever
D. kind D. forgetful
C
Pavarotti, one of the most famous tenors in the world, died in Italy on September 5, 2007. He died after a yearlong fight with cancer. He was 71 years old when he died.
During his lifetime, his recordings sold more than 100 million albums (专辑), and his voice was popular everywhere. When he was working last month, he was sent to hospital. He thought the important thing was to sing very well until the audience sang and always had a fresh voice as his father did. Even during his most recent hospitalization (住院治疗), Pavarotti’s wife said that he would sing again.
Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy on Oct. 12, 1935. His father was a great tenor too. He followed his father’s footsteps and made a whole new path. In the beginning, he was an elementary school teacher. The turning point came when he was 25 on April 21, 1961. He won an important competition, and sang the first time as a singer on the Italian stage in a production of La Boheme. From there, Pavarotti started a career that made him the world’s most famous opera singer. He was able to draw the attention of 500,000 in New York’s Central Park and was also able to invite stars such as James Brown, Sting and Bono to sing in his “Pavarotti & Friends” benefit concert, which was held every year.
Pavarotti was a different kind of star. He was overweight, wearing a tux and sang in tongues foreign to most common Saturday Night Live viewers. Despite this, his fame transcended (超越) the opera house. Pavarotti won five Grammys all his life, earned a night at the Kennedy Center Honors with those well-known people like Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews and Quincy Jones and played in his own Hollywood movie, the 1982 romantic comedy Yes 熏 Giorgio, which was a failure. Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras are known as “The Three Tenors.”
64. About Pavarotti, the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
A. he once played in a Hollywood film
B. he once performed in New York’s Central Park
C. his father could sing very well
D. his own Hollywood movie won him great fame
65. What is this passage mainly about
A. Pavarotti died in Italy, on September 5, 2007.
B. Pavarotti has a different singing style.
C. Brief introduction of the newly dead famous tenor Pavarotti.
D. Pavarotti had more than 100 million albums sold in his life.
66. In which way was Pavarotti different from other singers
A. He always wore suits.
B. He was very thin.
C. He sang in a strange dialect.
D. He held a concert at the Kennedy Center.
67. When was Pavarotti sent to hospital
A. When he was having a party.
B. When he was taking a walk with his wife.
C. When he was seeing a movie.
D. When he was working.
68. The underlined part “his fame transcended the opera house” means “______”.
A. he was only famous in the opera house
B. he was famous out of the opera house
C. he was famous in and out of the opera house
D. he played in the opera house

Only one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World still survives, which is the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo. The other six Ancient Wonders of the World are the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Among the 21 locations were the Stonehenge (巨石阵) in Britain, Acropolis in Athens, the Statue of Liberty in New York, Taj Mahal in India and the Great Wall in China. The only standard for the new list was that the landmarks were built or discovered before 2000.
The vote was organized by a non-profit Swiss foundation called New7Wonders specializing in the protection, rebuilding and mending of historical relics. The result was announced in Lisbon, on July 7, 2007. Here is the complete list of the new seven wonders: the Great Wall of China, Petra, Chichén Itzá 熏 the Statue of Christ Redeemer, the Colosseum, Machu Picchu and the Taj Mahal.

All-Star Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets missed his first game of the season and the third of his NBA career Sunday night because of right big-toe pains. “It’s not a one-game thing,” head coach Jeff Van Gundy said before the Rockets met the Los Angeles Lakers in the finale of a six-game road trip (客场). “It will probably be a multiple-
game thing. We’ll know more after he sees the doctor. He doesn’t miss much, so when he misses, he’s hurt.”
Yao returned home before Sunday night’s game. He has had a problem with his right big toe for some time, missing two preseason games because it was troubling him. The 25-year-old center has played in 266 regular-season games since joining the Rockets in 2002.
“We can still win,” Van Gundy said. “Certainly, your chances are better when you have your better players.”
“We just have to go about business as usual,” Rockets guard David Wesley said. “It’s unfortunate. We’ve got to find a way to win despite that. It won’t be easy.”
Van Gundy said Dikembe Mutombo would take the place of Yao. Mutombo was averaging 10.9 minutes, 1.7 points and 3.3 rebounds (篮板) in 20 games.
“I’m ready to go, and there’s no question about that,” the 39-year-old center said. “You don’t know when your name is going to be called.”
Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson said Yao’s absence was “a disappointment for our fans”.
When Lakers’ forward Lamar Odom was told that Yao wouldn’t be playing, he replied, “Good. This is sports, right ”
73. From the passage it can be inferred that ______.
A. Yao Ming missed his first game of his NBA career
B. Yao Ming has played in 266 regular-season games this year
C. Yao couldn’t play in the game against the Lakers and it would be hard for the Rockets to win the game
D. Mutombo was a better center than Yao Ming
74. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Yao is a very good center of the Houston Rockets.
B. Yao joined the Houston Rockets in 2002.
C. Yao has had a problem with his right big toe for some time.
D. Van Gundy, Mutombo and David Wesley are all players of the Houston Rockets.

A。The woman who never liked asking for help had to stay at home and rely on her husband.从这句可知Sharon生病前不喜欢寻求别人的帮助;Sharon was the take-charge person in the family.可知她以前是家里管家的。从这两处可以推断出Sharon生病前很独立。65. C。虽然文章一开始说Pavarotti去世了,但主要是对他一生的简介。69. D。本文主要是讲新七大奇迹已经通过投票产生。重点不是在投票上,而是投票产生的结果。所以选D。Unit 1 cultural relics
教材分析
I.教学内容分析
本单元的话题是“文化遗产”。
Warming up部分首先让学生对文物的定义有所了解,然后让学生讨论文物所应具有的特点,在此基础上让学生看几幅图片,进一步讨论“是不是只有像花瓶这样的东西才算是文物,建筑物算不算文物”这个问题。
Pre-reading部分设计了一个问题让学生对琥珀进行初步的了解,然后快速浏览文章。
Reading部分主要介绍了有关俄罗斯遗失琥珀屋的轶闻。
Learning about Language 部分首先安排了根据英语释义搭配词汇的练习,力求巩固学生对新词汇的理解和记忆;此外,针对本单元的语法重点----定语从句,该部分还包含了相当分量的练习,让学生通过寻找课文中的定语从句启发学生去发现、归纳和复习限制性定语从句,同时引入非限制性定语从句的教学与训练。
Using Language 部分的Reading and listening和speaking主要通过对evidence, fact和opinion三个词的讲解辨析,同时结合琥珀屋离奇失踪这一事件,对学生进行听力训练,有效地帮助学生将所学内容与实际判断能力的培养结合起来。紧随其后的reading and writing对一封信进行讨论之后,根据所给出的提示写一封回信,这一部分通过展示不同人对待国家文化遗产的不同态度,引发学生思考,让他们发表自己的看法,具有现实意义。
Learning Tips 部分鼓励学生去参观博物馆或文化遗产胜地,学习有关的知识,尽力为外国游客提供导游服务,一方面可以借此机会锻炼自己的英语口语,另一方面也可以结交朋友。

MAN: Yes, I am.
YOU: My name is Hu Yuan. I'm from the Office for Cultural Relics.
MAN: Oh, is there some problem

Step 6. Language points
Group work
Divide Ss into four groups and ask each group to discuss how to understand and use the new words and phrases in the text and analyze the following sentences.
1. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为造这间房子用了很多吨琥珀。
which was given this name... 为非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句,在修饰物时用who, whom, whose。非限制性定语从句和它的先行词之间只有松散的关系,往往是对先行词作补充说明,这种从句在朗读时有停顿,在文字中通常有逗号与主句隔开。
The chairman, who spoke first, sat on my right. 最先发言的主席坐在我的右边。
The speech, which bored everyone, went on and on. 那使大家厌烦的演讲一直在继续着。
关系副词where和when也能引导非限制性定语从句。
On April 1 they flew to Beijing, where they stayed several days. 四月一日他们飞到北京,在那里呆了几天。
I'm seeing the manager tomorrow, when he will be back from New York. 我明天要去见经理,他明天要从纽约回来。
另外,由which引导的非限制性定语从句,有时候修饰整个句子,或句子中的某个部分。
They have invited us to visit their country, which is very kind of them. 他们非常友好地邀请我们去访问他们的国家。
Usually they take a walk after supper, which does them a lot of good. 通常他们晚饭后去散散步,这么做对他们很有好处。
2. The design for the room was of the fancy style popular in those days. 屋子的设计是当时流行的极富艺术表现力的建筑式样。
of the fancy style... 在句子中用作表语,"be + of + 名词(词组)",表示主语的某种形状或特征。
I am pleased to have been of help to you. 我很高兴我对你有帮助。
All of the boys in the class are of the same age.这个班上的男生年龄都一样。
类似的用法还有:of different sizes, of great importance, of no use, of little value等。
popular in those days 是形容词短语修饰the fancy style。凡是可充当表语的形容词组,做定语时通常都可后置。
They have a house larger than yours. 他们的房子比你的大。
The boys easiest to teach are in my class.我班上的男生最好教了。
这类后置的定语在意义上相当于定语从句。
a house larger than yours = a house which is larger than yours
the boys easiest to teach = the boys who are easiest to teach
3. In 1770, the room was completed the way she wanted it. 1770年,这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。
the way she wanted 是方式状语从句,the way 的用法与连词相同,后面常常带that.
I was never allowed to do things the way I wanted. 人家从来就不允许我按照自己的想法去做事情。
另外,in a way, in the way也有类似的用法。
He was looking at her in a way that surprised her. 他看着她的样子让她很惊讶。
We have to make it work in the way that they want it to. 我们必须按照他们的想法把事情办好。
4. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. 毫无疑问, 这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,当时它是波罗的海边的一个德国城市。
that the boxes were then put on ... 是同位语从句, 表示与之同位的no doubt 的实际内容。
They had to face the fact that the nearest filling station is thirty kilometers away. 他们不得不面对这样一个现实:最近的加油站还在30公里外。
The doctors came to the conclusion that the patient was suffering from cancer. 医生们做出了诊断结果:病人身患癌症。
此类从句通常用that来引导,随着与其同位的名词不同, 也可由when, where, whether, how等来引出。
I have no idea when he will return. 我不知道他何时回来。
Periods 3&4 Learning about Language
Teaching Goals: 1. To learn about the restrictive and non-restrictive attributive clause
2. To learn how to use some useful words and expressions.
3. To learn how to use some useful structures
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Warming Up
Ask Ss to finish Ex1 (P3), Ex2 (P3) and Ex3 (P4).
Suggested Answers:
Ex1:
1.select 2. rare 3. reception 4. amaze 5. less than 6. wooden 7. in search of
8. survive 9. remove 10. artist 11.former 12.at war
Ex2: dynasties style amazing jewels designed decorated fancy rare doubt worth
Ex3: A.3 B.2 C. 3 D.1
Step 2. Learning about the attributive clause
1. Show Ss the definition of an adjective clause (attributive clause).
An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective in another clause or phrase. Like an adjective, an adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, answering questions like "which " or "what kind of " Consider the following examples:
Adjective:
the red coat
Adjective clause:
the coat which I bought yesterday
Like the word “red” in the first example, the dependent clause “which I bought yesterday” in the second example modifies the noun “coat”. Note that an adjective clause usually comes after what it modifies, while an adjective usually comes before.
In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns “who(m),” “that”, or “which”. In informal writing or speech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing.
Informal:
The books people read were mainly religious.
Formal:
The books that people read were mainly religious.
Informal
Some firefighters never meet the people they save.
Formal
Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save.
More examples of adjective clauses:
The meat which they ate was tainted.
They're talking about the movie which made him cry.
They are searching for the student who borrowed the book.
Did I tell you about the author whom I met
2. Get Ss to tell whether the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing.
(1) My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich.
My uncle who lives in London is very rich.
(2) The policies, which were unpopular, were rejected by the voters.
The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters.
(3) My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I have always treasured.
My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house, which I have always treasured.
Suggested answers:
The first sentence in each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, and the second has a restrictive clause. A non-restrictive clause simply adds more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main clause: it is therefore bracketed off with commas(1a = an uncle who happens to live in London). Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning of the sentence. Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is referred to (1b). In 2a, all policies were unpopular and all were rejected, whereas in 2b only the policies that were unpopular were rejected. Note that in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either 'that' or 'which', whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either 'who/m' or 'that' ( the man that/whom I will marry ...)
3. Let Ss select one answer from the choices provided after each sentence.
(1) As many children ___ came were given some cakes.
A. that B. as C. who D. whom
(2) The visitors saw rows of houses the roofs _____ are red.
A. on which B. of which C. where D. that

which is very beautiful
when we get together to celebrate

when the weather was warm and sunny
Periods 5 Using language
Teaching Goals:
1. To learn to tell facts from opinions.
2. To write a reply letter.
3. To learn to talk about cultural relics.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1 Warming up
Purpose: To get Ss to know the difference between a fact and an opinion.
1. Definition
A fact must be real, objective and without a personal judgment. So it can be proved. An opinion always expresses one’s own ideas. It is always subjunctive. So it has not been proved.
2. Read the passage (P5) and answer the following questions:
(1) If you want to go in for law against somebody, and if you want to win, what’s the most important thing you should do first
(2) What makes a judge decide which eyewitness he can believe and which not
Suggested Answers:
(1) Searching for facts. The more, the better.
(2) The evidences offered by the eyewitnesses.
Step 2 Guided reading
1. Read the passage and define what evidence is.
2. Read the passage and translate each paragraph into Chinese.
3. Read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the part.
Suggested Answers:
Collocation from Using Language on page 5in a trial, rather than, more than, to tell the truth, agree with, It can be proved that ..., no reason to, a reply to, think highly of, search for, return…to…
Step 3. Note taking
Listen to the tape and fill in the forms (P5).
As we know, people have never stopped searching for the Amber Room. This time we'll listen to what three people say they know about the missing Amber Room. Get Ss to share their forms and tell what are facts and what are opinions in the three forms.
Step 4 Speaking
Purpose: 1. To learn how to ask for or give opinions.
2. To learn how to write a letter of suggestions.
1. Group work
(1) We often use some expressions to ask for opinions. What are they
What do you think of ... Do you believe ... How can you be sure of ... How do you know that
(2) We often use some expressions to give opinions. What are they
I think ...I don't think ... I don't agree that ...I suppose that ...
Suggested Answers:
Of the three eyewitnesses, only Anna Petrov has no selfish reason. In particular, she is not involved in any current effort to find the treasure. Therefore she is the most believable.
Jan Hasek is less believable because he owns a little restaurant near the mine. If the search stopped, his business would suffer.
Hans Braun is also less believable, because somebody has asked him for help.
2. Individual work
(1) Sometimes we may fall into or face a moral choice. That is a moral dilemma. Let’s read the letter (P7) and see what's Johann’s choice and opinion. Answer the following questions.
① What's Johann’s opinion about the Amber Room
② Do you agree with Johann
Step 5. Debate
Divide Ss into two groups and organize a debate.
Have a class debate and take notes of the main ideas of the two sides and their reasons. At the end take a class vote.
① When you write your letter, you may choose to agree or not agree with the writer.
② You must give a reason why you agree or don't agree with the writer.
③ Be sure to give an example from your own life so that the reader can better understand your opinion.
Step 6 Writing
Write a report on your debate according to the demand of part 4 of P7.
Step 6. Homework

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham's review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful—I found the old news pictures really interesting— they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it—one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn't catch the bus home—I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I've been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I' m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called "reality programmes". I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels

A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.

2. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to ___________.
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson.
3. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because _________.
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket. B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
4. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus
A. He should have told the conductor then.

第二节:任务型写作
We should try to save water because we human beings are facing the lack of water seriously. A private organization from the USA shows their study that more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack water nowadays.
By the year of 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. As the puplation of the world is increasing fast, the lack of water is getting more and more serious, which will lead to a lot of problems such as disease and interna tional conflict. I think it is high time that we paid great attention to this problem now because water is the source of life. Where's there water, there is life. It can even change desert into green land (oasis). However, it is very limited to human beings, espe cially it has kept being polluted so seriously that less and less of it can be fit to drink. If we lack water, we will face the most serious conflict, which may lead our world to great disaster. This is why we have to save water.Unit 1 Cultural relics
