Unit 5 Section Ⅳ
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Back in freshman year, I found myself wondering whether it should really be called “volunteering” if students only do it because they have to.
I ended up volunteering at Weyrich Health Center, helping elderly patients with daily tasks. The more I did these tasks, the more disconnected I felt from the seniors. Though I felt bad for them, I did not want to interact with them.
Then one rainy day, I met Colonel Hemsworth. He invited me to his table and asked for some company. I regarded this as another boring task. However, when I listened to his stories, I learned that he was a brilliant war veteran (老兵), and I found his tales interesting.
After my brief talk with the Colonel, I realized that I shared common characters with all the seniors. I felt like an oxygen molecule (分子)—ready to bond—rather than an isolated noble gas.
I met with many learned senior citizens who shared their experiences and wisdom. All of the seniors provided insight and a new perspective on life. No longer did I walk aimlessly down the hallways. I found myself enjoying talking with these people as I learned their histories. Why hadn’t I realized sooner that volunteer work could enlighten me
Some people argue that volunteering and working for change does not help. However, they fail to realize that the world is constantly changing and humans must adapt. My experience at Weyrich Health Center has taught me that refusing to change one’s views and accept new perspectives leads to short-term goals that eventually munication with others is a vital part of life. Volunteering is not only a requirement or a way to beef up your resume, but it is a time for service and personal growth.
Now I enjoy volunteering my time surrounded by seniors who bring history alive for me. By communicating with them, I have developed into a more dynamic person.

Everybody knows that first impressions count. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.
◆Live in the moment.
To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 1.D When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself,“How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?”“What matters to this person?”
◆ 2.A
If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.

If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right 6.C . If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb. In each case, the 7.D of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why?”

Unit 5 Poems
单元核心素养
语篇解读:诗歌不仅能够表达人的情感,还可以作为一种治疗手段帮助人们解决问题。
The Power of poetry
单元话题导读
Reading and writing poetry is a very personal experience. Poets use language as a way of expressing their feelings,whether positive ones of love, happiness and hope, or negative feelings like anger and fear. Poems can describe the beauty of nature,a person,a dream or a memorable event.
But teachers and psychologists have found another use for poetry as a form of therapy to help people with problems. Writing poetry can help people deal with changes in their lives, death or feelings of sadness, drug or alcohol problems or serious illness. By writing down your feelings, you can learn to understand yourself better and give yourself a voice if you feel you are being ignored. A poem might be a way of telling someone something when you do not feel able to talk about it face to face. And just because people are ill or having difficulties in their lives, it doesn’t mean they have lost their sense of humor. Poems written as therapy can be funny too, as laughter is also considered to be very good medicine.
Students at a special school in Dudley, in England, read and write poems every day. Some of the poems they write are very good,but their reason for writing is not just to be creative. All of them have problems. Some of them have long-term medical conditions, such as cancer, while others have personality disorders or psychological problems. By writing poems students are growing in self-confidence. The poems provide a channel through which they can communicate with the world, and express their feelings. They also help them to recognize and explore their problems and to develop a positive attitude to life.
But the poems are helping other people, too. The school has collected some of the students’ poems and published them in a book which is being sold to raise funds for a local hospital. The book has proved very popular,giving students a sense of motivation and achievement.

With so many different forms of poetry 10.___________ (choose) from, you may eventually want to write poems of your own. Give it a try!

解析:
1.考查词性转换。句意:人们写诗有着各种各样的原因。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语,修饰名词reasons,故填形容词 various,意为“各种各样的,不同的”。
2.考查冠词。句意:有些诗歌讲述一个故事或以一种能给读者留下深刻的印象的方式描述事物。分析句子结构且结合句意可知,设空处应用不定冠词表泛指,意为“一个”,且story为辅音音素开头的单词,故填不定冠词a。
3.考查反身代词。句意:诗人用许多不同的诗歌形式来表达自己。分析句子结构可知,设空处作动词express的宾语,且句子主语Poets 和动词express的宾语指代的是同一群体,故用反身代词themselves。
4.考查定语从句。句意:幼儿最先学习的一些英文诗歌是童谣,童谣可能讲不通,甚至似乎自相矛盾,但很容易学习和吟诵。分析句子结构可知,__4__may not make sense and even seem contradictory… 是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为nursery rhymes,指物,且缺少主语,故填关系代词which。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题。分析句子结构可知,此处为“主语+be+adj. +to do”结构,故填to learn。
6.考查介词。句意:最简单的一种诗歌形式是“清单诗”,诗行长短灵活,有着重复的短语。设空处没有提示词,分析句子结构且结合句意可知,应填介词with。
7.考查词性转换。句意:另一种业余爱好者容易写的简体诗是五行诗,是由五个诗行组成的。分析句子结构可知,设空处作状语,修饰动词write,故用副词easily。
8.考查连词。句意:此外,俳句是一种由17个音节组成的日语诗歌形式,但它很受英语作家的欢迎。由句意可知此处应用并列连词but,表转折,意为“然而,但是”。故填but。
9.考查动词的时态和语态。句意:在过去几十年里很多唐诗被翻译成了英语。由时间状语in the past decades 可知应用现在完成时态,Tang poetry 与 translate 之间为被动关系,故填has been translated。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:有这么多不同形式的诗歌可供选择,你最终可能会想写自己的诗。分析句子结构可知,此处考查“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,由句意可知此处应用to do作宾语补足语,故填to choose。

A
A food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won China Central Television’s poetry contest on April 4 in 2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the Third Season of CCTV’s Chinese Poetry Competition on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China’s top university. Lei, 37, from Shaoyang Hunan, is now working as a food delivery man in Hangzhou Zhejiang. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father,who would write poems down, stick them on the walls of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.
Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn’t diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1, 000 poems.
Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn’t faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. “For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring,” the courier said.
In November,2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70,000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.
Lei’s outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story, have amazed Chinese audiences.
“His love of learning is so pure; it moved me to tears,” one netizen said. “It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge,”another shared.
语篇解读:37岁的外卖小哥通过自己的努力打败北大文学硕士赢得《中国诗词大会》第三季的冠军,让众多网友感到震惊和激励。
1.Why didn’t Lei Haiwei have the chance to go to college? D
A.His family was very poor. B.He was fascinated with poems.
C.He was too busy to study. D.He often changed school.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. ”可知,由于经常换学校,所以他失去了上大学的机会。故选D。
2.What can the underlined word “diminish” in the second paragraph be replaced by? C
A.Inspire. B.Increase.
C.Reduce. D.Encourage.
解析:词义猜测题。第一段提到“他来到杭州当外卖员”,再结合连词but猜测,该词的意思是“减少”,所以选C。
3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? C
A.Lei’s work is delivering food for others.
B.Lei’s daily life is highly stressed at present.
C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems.
D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.
解析:主旨大意题。第三段主要介绍了雷海为工作繁忙,即使如此,他还是抓紧时间背诵诗歌。例如,当他在餐馆等食物时或是在送餐路上等信号灯时,他都习惯背诵诗。由此可知,本段主要介绍了他充分利用时间背诵诗歌。故选C。
4.How did people find Lei’s story? B
A.Interesting. B.Inspiring.
C.Fascinating. D.Shocking.
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,B项正确。故选B。
B
No poem should ever be discussed or“analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is,eventually, the most concrete“interpretation(解释)” of it,suggesting tone, rhymes, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or,best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing”it and“exchanging of views”,if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is“a criticism of life”,and“a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry teaching. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,诗歌是一种艺术形式,那么怎样去鉴赏和学习诗歌呢?通读本文之后,你可能会有所收获。
5.What should one do to have a better understanding of a poem? D
A.Discuss it with others. B.Analyze it by oneself.
C.Copy it down in a notebook. D.Practise reading it aloud.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“No poem should ever be discussed or ’analyzed’,until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student. ”可知,要想更好地理解诗歌,就要朗读。故选D。
6.One of the purposes of teaching English is to get students B .
A.to understand life B.to enjoy poetry
C.to become teachers D.to become poets
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“I think one of our… students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem. ”可知,目的之一是让学生喜欢诗歌。故选B。
7.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? A
A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B.Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.
C.One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.
D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.
解析:推理判断题。第三段主要讲述了要欣赏诗歌以及诗歌对生活的重大影响,因此最后一句强调了在教学中应当重视诗歌教学。故选A。
8.What does the underlined phrase “make room” (last paragraph)mean? C
A.Build a booth. B.Provide equipment.
C.Leave a certain amount of time. D.Set aside enough space.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“I have come to think… ’exchanging of views’,if there isn’t time for both. ”及最后一段中的“in the classroom for hearing poetry”可知,此处的意思是“留出些时间”。故选C。

images

a
means
advice

to look
解析:
1.考查介词。此处表示被人写的诗,所以用by表示被动关系。故填by。
2.考查数词。根据空前的sixth可知此处考查序数词,所以用eighth。
3.考查非谓语动词。此处是现在分词作定语修饰words, 两者之间是主动关系,所以用rhyming。
4.考查名词。根据前面的different可知此处用名词的复数形式。故填images。
5.考查宾语从句。此处是imagine后面跟宾语从句,从句里面缺少宾语,所以用what引导。
6.考查冠词。此处表示一个新短语,名词前面用冠词来修饰,表示“一个”。故填a。
7.考查主谓一致。此处which代替前面的a new phrase, 所以从句谓语动词用单数形式。故填means。
8.考查构词法。此处是一个名词作宾语,所以用advice。
9.考查形容词。根据句意可知此处表示比较意义,所以用better。
10.考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知此处是不定式作定语修饰something。故填to look。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Many people don’t realize the importance of music education in the schools today. A new study showed, however, music education is extremely important.
In college, music education is one of the largest programs. Teachers have to learn general education materials and techniques. They must learn to play every instrument; they must learn music history and music theory; they must learn instrument repair and teaching methods; they must learn conducting and so much more. At the same time, much of our culture and tradition is absorbed in music.
Music plays a very important role in our education.
Music helps with math and science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”, which is about how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why.
Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in other languages, including ancient ones. Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about. A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music, so students are exposed to that very often while singing.
Students learn a huge amount of cooperation (协作) of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. Students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.
Students learn about art. Some famous pieces were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they’re playing the music. Music education also brings higher thinking to our children. It allows them to think about complex patterns. Students have to be aware of what every other musician does at every time. In that way, it develops cooperation, as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.
As one can see, music is very important to education.
语篇解读:本文讲到许多人没有意识到音乐教育的重要性。一项新的研究表明,音乐教育是十分重要的。
1.What can we infer about learning music in college? C
A.It is an easy task without much effort.
B.It attracts more and more people to learn.
C.It is such a challenging job to finish.
D.It has no value to our future life.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,在大学里,音乐是最大的科目之一,老师需要学习音乐材料与技术,学会各种乐器,学习音乐历史,乐器修理等,可见在大学里学习音乐很有挑战性。所以选C项。
2.Music benefits us a lot in many ways except for A .
A.making us a scientist later
B.improving language ability
C.bettering cooperation of body parts
D.making us think more about how to learn well
解析:推理判断题。根据文中提到“Music helps with math and science(音乐能帮助学习数学与科学)”“Students learn a lot about languages through music(通过音乐学习语言). ”“Students learn a huge amount of cooperation (协作) of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together(音乐学习过程中学会协作)”可知,B、C、D三项都包含在内,所以选A项。
3.The underlined word “that” in Para. 5 refers to B .
A.the music B.the work
C.the culture D.the language
解析:代词指代题。根据第五段提到“A song is likely to be a famous short work set to music, so students are exposed to that very often while singing. ”一首歌曲可能是与音乐有关的著名的小作品,因此学生们在唱歌时应多接触这个著作,所以选B项。
4.What can we know from the passage? D
A.A good achievement of science is vital to music learning.
B.Learning music to a higher level on one’s own is impossible.
C.People have long known the importance of music to our growth.
D.Music has benefits to the all-around development of human beings.
解析:细节理解题。本文通过“Music helps with math and science(音乐能帮助学习数学与科学). ”“Students learn a lot about languages through music(可以通过音乐学习语言). ”“Students learn a huge amount of cooperation (协作) of body parts through music(通过音乐学习身体的协作)”“Music education also brings higher thinking to our children(音乐教育能帮助孩子带来更好的思维)”,从各个方面来阐明音乐的重要性,所以选D项。
Ⅱ. 语法填空
根据短文内容,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Once upon a time, two dogs came to a village. The village had 1.a house which had a lot of mirrors (镜子). Both of the two dogs expected 2.to enter (enter)it and have a look inside. But only one 3.was allowed (allow)each time.
The sad dog of the two went in first. After he came into the house, he found many sad dogs 4.looking (look)at him. He didn’t like it and came out quickly. When he was asked how his time was in the house, the sad dog said, “ 5.It was terrible. I wouldn’t go in again. ”
The happy dog was still interested in the house,he asked the 6.permission (permit)to enter it. As soon as he came in, he saw many happy dogs. They were all smiling 7.at him. The dog played there 8.excitedly (excited)for a while. When he came out, he said to the other dog, “I really enjoyed 9.playing (play)in the house. There are many happy dogs. ” The other dog didn’t believe him. He went in and had a look again. However, he still saw many sad dogs.
This story tells us that 10.if you want to see happy faces, be happy first.
语篇解读:忧伤的狗和快乐的狗在镜子里的映像不同,是因为它们对待生活的态度不同。这则故事告诉我们想看到快乐的事情,自己应先快乐起来。
解析:
1.考查冠词。在文章中第一次出现,用不定冠词表类指。故填a。
2.考查非谓语动词。expect to do sth. 期望做某事。故填to enter。
3.考查时态和语态。由Once upon a time可知,用一般过去时;only one与allow,为动宾关系,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was allowed。
4.考查宾语补足语。find sb. doing sth. “发现某人正在做某事”。此处指发现那些狗正在看着它,故用looking。
5.考查代词。指忧伤的狗进屋照镜子这件事,用不定代词it。
6.考查名词。the为名词限定词,动词permit(允许,许可)的名词为permission。故填permission。
7.考查介词。smile at sb. /sth. 冲着某人或某物微笑。故填at。
8.考查副词。修饰谓语动词play用副词,故填excited的副词形式excitedly。
9.考查动名词。enjoy doing sth. 喜欢做某事。故填playing。
10.考查连词。that引导宾语从句,作tell的宾语;根据两个分句的逻辑关系,可知应该用if引导条件状语从句。故填if。
Ⅲ. 读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guest room of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens. while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK! ” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的)blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. My horse turned to the left to avoid the little rabbit as I held on tightly and tried not to fail. Then my dad turned around and shouted, “Hold on!”All of a sudden the horse began to run. My dad tried to keep up behind us. For a few minutes my horse slowed down and then stopped beside a river. I looked around and realized that we were way off the track.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. Luckily the stars came out and gave us a little light when we were looking for the way to the farm house. After what must have been several hours, we suddenly heard the sound of sheep in the distance. My dad and I both rode our horses towards the sound of the sheep. As we got closer we saw Uncle Paul with a flashlight waving us over. What a night!(共57张PPT)

2.先行词:被定语从句修饰的词,叫作先行词。
复习定语从句
3.关系词:引导定语从句的词,叫作关系词。关系词分为关系代词(that,which,who,whom,whose,as等)和关系副词(when,where,why等)两类。关系词通常有三个作用:
①连接定语从句;②指代先行词;③在定语从句中充当一个句子成分。
4.定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两类。
二、关系代词的基本用法
1.that的用法
that既可指人也可指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时常可省略。
She is the girl(that)you want to know. (作宾语,指人)
她是你想认识的女孩。
Do you like the book(that)you borrowed yesterday?(作宾语,指物)
你喜欢你昨天借的那本书吗?
This is the factory that produces cars. (作主语,指物)
这是制造小汽车的工厂。
2.which的用法
which指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时常可省略。
A chemist’s shop is a shop which sells medicine. (which作主语)
药店是卖药的商店。
The building (which) they are building will be finished next month. (作宾语)
他们正在建的大楼下月将完成。
3.who的用法
who指人,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时常可省略。
The man who is talking to our teacher is Tom’s brother. (作主语)
正同我们老师谈话的人是汤姆的兄弟。
4.whom的用法
whom指人,是who的宾格形式,在定语从句中作宾语,常可省略,在口语中可用who或that代替。
The lady (whom) you are looking for is in the office. (作宾语)
你在找的女士在办公室里。
5.whose的用法
whose既可指人也可指物,在定语从句中作定语。指人时,相当于of whom;指物时,相当于of which。
This is the scientist whose name is known to all over the world. (指人)
这就是那位世界闻名的科学家。
She lives in a house whose window faces the sea. (指物)
她住在一座窗户面向大海的房子里。
6.as的用法
as既可指人也可指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语和表语。它常用在the same… as… ,such… as… ,as… as… 等句型中,as不能省略。
I want to have such a computer as he has. (as作宾语,指物)
我想有一台和他一样的电脑。
I’ll buy the same dictionary as you have. (作宾语,指物)
我打算买一本和你的一样的词典。
三、关系副词的基本用法
关系副词when,why,where在定语从句中分别作时间、原因、地点状语,且可根据其在句中的搭配关系,转换成“介词+关系代词”的结构。
I’ll never forget the time when we worked together on the farm. (when指时间)
我将永远不会忘记我们一起在农场工作的日子。
Sanya is the place where she was born. (where指地点)
三亚是她出生的地方。
I don’t know the reason why he was refused. (why指原因)
我不知道他被拒绝的原因。
四、由“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
此结构中的关系代词主要是which、whom和whose,即“介词+which/whom/whose+n. ”,先行词为人时用whom,先行词为物时用which,whose先行词即可指人也可指物。
Here are the questions,some of which I thought difficult.
就是这些问题,我认为其中一些很难。
He has two sons,both of whom are teachers.
他有两个儿子,都是老师。
五、使用非限制性定语从句时需注意的问题:
1.that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。
2.在非限制性定语从句中,用who,whom代表人,用which代表事物。
3.当先行词指物且为专有名词或由物主代词和指示代词所修饰时,其后的定语从句通常是非限制性的。
4.非限制性定语从句还能指代整个主句,对其进行修饰,这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数。
5.非限制性定语从句中,不用why引导,用for which代替why。
6.先行词为独一无二的物体时,一般用非限制性定语从句。
The sun,which rises in the east,gives us light and heat.
太阳从东边升起,给我们光和热。
Mr. Smith,who was my former teacher,retired last year.
史密斯先生,我以前的老师,去年退休了。
The Great Wall,which is called in Chinese “The Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wall”,is actually more than 6,000 kilometers.
长城,中国人称作“万里长城”,实际不只有6 000公里。
限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别如下:
名称 意义 结构要求 功能 引导词
限制性 定语从 句 起限制作用,指特定的人或物,从句不可省略,否则原句句意不完整 紧跟先行词,同先行词之间不加逗号 修饰先行词 关系代词:which,that,who,whom,whose,as
关系副词:when,why,where
非限制性定语从句 仅作补充或说明,若去掉从句,主句意思完整 用逗号与先行词或主句隔开,译成汉语时单独译成一句话 修饰先行词或整个主句 关系代词:which,who,whom,whose,as(不用that)
关系副词:when,where等

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life of solitude(隐居). She was born on 10th December,1830 at Amherst, Massachusetts to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson. She had an older brother, Austin, and younger sister named Lavinia.
From 1834 to 1847, Emily Dickinson studied at the Am-herst Academy, an academic institution that was co-founded by her grandfather, Samuel Fowler Dickinson. In 1847,she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary(now known as Mount Holyoke College) but returned to Amherst only after a year, and began her own unique life. After returning from the Seminary, Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests. She chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room. She started writing poems at around this time. Her initial forays(最初的尝试) were conventional (有争议的) but later on, she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson’s writ-ing style and content. The US Civil War broke out in 1861;her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health reasons,and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco. In addition,she also had a persistent eye trouble. Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson, this could also be considered as the most productive period of her life. During this time, Emily Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.
Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15,1886. Her poems were published by her sister, Lavinia in 1886. During her life, only seven poems were published, but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2,000 poems.

In ancient China lived an artist 1.whose paintings were almost lifelike. The artist’s reputation had made him proud. One day the emperor wanted to get his portrait (画像) done so he called all great artists to come and present their 2.finest (fine)work, so that he could choose the best. The artist was sure he would 3.be chosen (choose), but when he presented his masterpiece to the emperor’s chief minister,the old man laughed. The wise old man told him to travel to the Li River—perhaps he could learn a little from the greatest artist in the world.
Filled with 4.curiosity (curious), the artist packed his bags and left. 5.When/As he asked the villagers on the banks of the river where he could find the legendary (传奇的)artist, they smiled and 6.pointed (point) down the river. The next morning he hired a boat and set out 7.to find (find) the well-known painter. As the small boat moved 8.gently (gentle) along the river, he was left speechless by the mountains being silently reflected in the water. He passed milky white waterfalls and mountains in many shades of blue. And when he saw the mists rising from the river and the soft clouds 9.surrouding (surround) the mountain tops,he was reduced to tears. The artist was finally humbled (谦卑)by the greatest artist 10.on earth,Mother Nature.

1.考查定语从句的引导词。关系词在定语从句中作定语,修饰paintings。故填whose。
2.考查形容词的最高级。根据句意及后文的choose the best可知,此处应用形容词最高级。故填finest。
3.考查动词语态。主语 he和动词choose 之间是被动关系,空格前有would,故用“be+及物动词的过去分词”。故填be chosen。
4.考查词性转换(形容词变名词)。作介词with的宾语,用名词形式。故填curiosity。
5.考查连词。根据句意与句子结构可知,应用when/as引导时间状语从句。故填When/As。
6.考查动词时态。and连接两个并列谓语动词,前后时态应一致。故填pointed。
7.考查非谓语动词。set out to do开始做……,为固定搭配。故填to find。
8.考查词性转换(形容词变副词)。用副词修饰动词moved。故填gently。
9.考查非谓语动词。在“see+宾语+宾补”结构中,宾语与宾补之间是主动关系,用现在分词,表示动作正在进行。the soft clouds与 surround之间是主动关系,且表示正在发生的情景,故用现在分词形式。故填surrounding。
10.考查介词。此处on earth 相当于in the world,意思是“在世上,在人间”。故填on。(共26张PPT)

Although the Internet is becoming more and more popular, books are still very important and valuable to people. That’s why I love reading books so much.
Reading is valuable in many ways. Firstly, by means of reading, I can get to know the writers’ thoughts and feelings that writers express in books in many flexible ways. Secondly, I can learn about the writing styles of many foreign writers by reading some translations and even get to know the appropriate words and action in different situations by reading. Besides,reading can help me solve many difficult problems and get me out of trouble. Whenever I feel depressed, reading helps me transform negative moods into joy and courage.

The Road Not Taken
(by Robert Frost)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way.
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

参考范文:
The Road Not Taken is a narrative poem which is one of Frost’s most popular works. The language of the poem is simple and natural, which makes it easy to understand.
This poem describes a man who is at a loss to make a choice when facing two roads. Every reader can find his experience and appreciate the philosophy in the poem.
As is shown in the poem, in the journey of life, we often have to make a choice between two paths or two ideas. Our choice will determine the direction of our life. When faced with them, we always tend to hesitate, but we must make a decision. No matter which path we choose, we must look ahead, and stick to it. As long as we persist, we’ll have a meaningful journey.
