A 14 year old female student from Jiangsu province is prepared to step from the textbooks into the history books after she was tipped to enroll at one of China's top universities,thanks to a pilot program aimed at improving the country's university entrance system.
Hong Xinge,from Tianyi High School in Wuxi,is believed to be the youngest of 90 students nationwide to receive nominations(提名) from their headmasters to attend Peking University.She submitted(提交) her application yesterday.The next step for the girl will be an interview at the world renowned institution.The 90 students selected to take part in the pilot program come from 10 provinces around China,as well as the cities of Beijing,Tianjin and Chongqing.
Students who do well in the interview will stand a much better chance of getting into the university because they will not need to score as high as others in the university entrance exam.
The reform of the university entrance process being piloted by Peking University offers a backdoor into the university for exceptional students who might not necessarily do well in the entrance exam.The reform is aimed at ensuring quality students are not overlooked simply because of their performance in the national university entrance exam.
Schoolmaster Shen Maode told Yangtze Evening News on Tuesday that Hong scored well in international proficiency tests.She earned a 7.5 in the IELTS test,a 106 on the TOEFL test and got a maximum score in her United States SATs.
Hong is excellent at Chinese and English and,at her tender age,is already working on her first novel.Classmates pointed out that she is an all rounder,having won awards for long distance running and Latin dancing,the paper said.
Questions:
1.How many students will be selected to take part in the pilot
2.What is Hong Xinge good at
Keys:
1.90
2.She is good at Chinese,English,writing,running,dancing and so on.
诱思探究:
Which is your ideal university?What qualities do you need to be admitted into it
Key: The answers are various.

英语习语是意义不十分明显的固定表达法。习语的含义与其中单个单词的意思往往不一样。但是英语习语是英语词汇中的重要精华部分。社会生活的各个方面是英语习语取之不尽的源泉,当代英语中最常用的习语有4 000余条。许多常用的英语习语来自《圣经》(Bible)和莎士比亚(Shakespeare)等的文学名著。英语习语主要用作口语。
1.许多习语使用名词短语
I thought the exam would be a piece of cake,but it was much harder than I expected.
Sherry really enjoyed chemistry,so writing an essay about it was child's play.
在这两句话中a piece of cake和child's play都表示“容易做的事”。
a drop in the bucket 沧海一粟;九牛一毛。
apples of gold in pictures of silver 锦上添花。
a thorn in the flesh 眼中钉,肉中刺;烦恼的根源。
feet of clay 致使的弱点;泥足(指站不住脚的事物)
a dead dog 废物或无价值的东西
flesh and blood 亲人
A Judas 犹大,thirty pieces of silver 30块银币,a kiss of death 死亡之吻
这三个习语来自同一个故事:犹大是耶稣的12个门徒之一,为30块银币把耶稣出卖给犹太教祭司,犹大出卖耶稣时以吻耶稣为暗号,让犹太教当局把耶稣抓走。因此这三个习语分别表示叛徒、因背叛他人而获得的钱财或其他报酬、表面上友好实际上坑人的行为。
2.有些习语使用介词短语
at the eleventh hour 在最后的时刻;刚好来得及
off the top of one's head 信口地
on paper 理论上地
3.习语还可以是动词短语
do one's homework 对某事了如指掌
have butterflies in one's stomach 忐忑不安
beat the air 白费力气;劳而无功
change one's skin 改变本性
wash one's hands 洗手不干。该习语出自《新约·马太福音》:犹太总督彼拉多主持审判耶稣,由于他判定耶稣无罪,一些犹太人不服,因此他当众宣布洗手辞职,并交出耶稣,以示自己与此无关。
4.有些习语用as...as句型
as easy as pie 轻而易举
as plain as day 显而易见
as wise as Solomon 极有智慧
as busy as a bee 极忙碌(像蜜蜂一样忙碌)
as mad as a wet hen 非常生气(像弄湿的母鸡一样生气)
as mild as a dove 非常温和(像鸽子一样温和)
as true as steel 绝对可靠(像钢一样可靠)
5.另外还有些习语以句子的形式呈现
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.一鸟在手胜于二鸟在林。
A broken spirit dries the bones.忧能伤人。
A living dog is better than a dead lion.活狗胜过死狮;好死不如赖活。
All who take the sword will perish by the sword.玩火者必自焚。
A tree is known by its fruit.观其果知其树;观其行知其人。
Let the dead bury their dead.既往不咎。
He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.想不犯错误,就一事无成。
The leopard can not change his spots.花豹改不了自己身上的斑点。该句谚语出自《旧约·耶利未书》:一个人的本性难以改变,特别是不良的性格永远也改不了,等同于我们汉语中的“江山易改,本性难移”。

修辞手段一般主要用于文学性写作中。但在英文写作中有时也需要运用一定的具有英文特征的修辞手段。文章最忌语言枯燥无味,一篇好的作文,语言应该生动形象。而恰当地运用修辞手法,可以使文字新鲜活泼、具体逼真,大大增强艺术表现力,扩大语言表达的范围;而且还可以激发读者的想象,给人留下深刻的印象。因此,掌握一些一般常用修辞手段对于实现语句亮点也是非常必要的。下面介绍英语作文中常用的修辞手法——比喻 (metaphor)。比喻就是打比方,可分为明喻和暗喻。
1.明喻(simile)
明喻是将两种通常被视为不相似的不同事物加以比较,明喻一般要用到as或like。要使一个明喻效果不错,读者就必须对加以对比的东西非常熟悉。例如:
My father has been working very hard recently and often comes home late at night.He has been as busy as a bee.在这句话中用蜜蜂来形容忙碌,使人非常易于理解。因为大家都熟悉蜜蜂的忙碌的特性。其他的还有:
The man can't be trusted.He is as slippery as an eel.那个人不可信赖。他像鳗鱼一样狡猾。
Childhood is like a swiftly passing dream.
童年就像一场急逝的梦。
What had been experienced in the past was always looming in memory like a picture.
过去的经历就像图片一样总是在脑海中萦绕。
下面请欣赏一些常用比喻短语:
as blind as a bat 有眼无珠
as clear as a bell 健全的
as clear as day 一清二楚的
as cool as a cucumber 极为冷静的
as hungry as a hunter 非常饥饿
as lively as a cricket 极活泼
as poor as a church mouse 赤贫的
as proud as a peacock 极骄傲
as strong as a horse 健壮如牛
2.暗喻(metaphor)
暗喻是声明一样东西是另一样东西。它是两样东西之间的比较,而这两样东西通常并不被视为同一类。但有某些共同之处。暗喻可以将一个名词的喻义与另一个名词的本义相比较,而不用like或as 来进行比较。
The world is a stage.世界是一个大舞台。
这句话中,世界是本义,而舞台是用来比喻的。要理解此句中暗喻的用法,你就需要知道世界的特性。
以下都是暗喻:
He has a heart of stone.他有一颗铁石心肠。
For lawyers,a courtroom is a battlefield.
对于律师来说,法庭就是战场。
couch potato 整天看电视的人
a snake in the grass 潜伏的危险
cold fish 怪人,冷冰冰的家伙
hot potato 棘手的问题,难题
3.下面请同学们了解一些有关颜色的比喻
green with envy 十分嫉妒
green horn 没有经验的人
Paul was in a blue mood. 保尔情绪低落。
red letter day 纪念日,喜庆的日子
to paint the town red 狂欢、痛饮、胡闹
roll out the red carpet for sb.(铺展红地毯)隆重地欢迎某人
to see red 使人发怒
waving a red flag 做惹别人生气的事
in the black 盈利
in the red 亏损,负债

(2)The students wonder ______ good the course will do to their future jobs ______ is vital to them.
A.which;what B.what;that C.whether;which D.why;what
答案:B
提示:wonder 后是一个宾语从句,其中good 作名词是“好处”,do good to“对某人有好处”。job后是一个定语从句,而且缺少主语所以用that。

在人们的交往过程中,有些词语使人尴尬,惹人不快,招人厌恶或令人恐惧,如果直接表达出来,给人的印象是粗俗、刺耳、无礼。如果间接地表达出来则含蓄、中听、有礼。这种含蓄表达法叫做委婉语。
委婉语通常用以下几种情况下:
1.在表达一些禁忌或非常敏感的话题时
“死”这个词在东西方文化中历来被视为不吉利的事,因此世界各地关于死亡的委婉语很多。英语中对死亡有如下表达方式:pass away,go to the west,be in Abraham's bosom,climb the golden staircase,go to a better place,expire,go to visit one's ancestors等。在竞争激烈的西方社会,old是一个让人十分避讳的一个词。因为老意味着衰朽残年、来日不多,意味着必须退出主流社会。如果称别人为old man或old woman,是对别人的一种冒犯或者轻视,是很不礼貌的一种表现。因此,英语中产生了很多有关old的委婉语。比如,人们把老年人称作senior citizen(资深公民),elderly(长者),advanced in age(上了年纪),the longer lived(生活经历较长的人),seasoned man(历练的人)等等。另外,把老人院称作young town(年轻城)或者nursing home(疗养院),home for adults(成人之家)等。
2.礼貌地陈述一些社会地位不高的人或物时
在生活中很多职业出于礼貌被善意的美化,如家庭主妇被美称为domestic engineer(内务工程师),农民被美称为agricultural science specialist(农业科学家),清洁工被称为sanitary engineer(卫生工程师),服务员成了dining room attendants(餐厅管理员);在政治领域里,为缓和与不发达(underdeveloped country)或贫穷国家(poor and backward country)的关系,发达国家的领导人称其为developing country或emerging country(新兴国家)以避免双方关系陷入僵局。
3.用于公共场合不适于直接表达出来某种情景
英汉语中有许多关于厕所和去厕所大小便的委婉语。英语中有:power room(化妆室),rest room(休息室),men/men's(男士/男士房间),women/ women's(女士/女士房间),convenience(方便去处),to wash one's hand(去洗手),to powder one's nose(往鼻子上擦点粉),to spend a penny(去花一个便士),to answer the nature's call(响应自然的召唤)。在同人交谈时可说May I be excused?(我可以离开一会儿吗?)。学生上课想要去厕所,可以说Sorry,I have to do my business。
1.写出下列委婉语的含义。
(1)She is a plain woman.
________________________________________________________________________
(2)The problem boy is in the correctional facility.
________________________________________________________________________
(3)Many people are between jobs because of the financial crisis.
________________________________________________________________________
(4)He was laid off because of the big mistake he made yesterday.
________________________________________________________________________
(5)He is a little confused now.
________________________________________________________________________
答案:(1)长相平平的 (2)劳教所,监狱 (3)失业 (4)解雇 (5)精神错乱的
2.单项选择

Every student will be faced with the question after he passes the college entrance examinations: Should we choose a good major or a good university first?Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are really interested in.It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future.
However,those who think differently believe that the learning environment is more important to one's development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a better job than those who are not.
As far as I am concerned,the best choice is a good major at a good university.If we cannot obtain both,the first thing to consider is a good major,because no matter where we study,we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
1.It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future.
2....no matter where we study,we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
下列句子选自短文中,如果能作以下调整,则文笔会更加生动,试阅读并比较。
句1:However,those who think differently believe that...
句2:However,every coin has its two sides.Others hold the opposite view that...
句2中使用了一句谚语,同时使用了一个that引导的同位语从句,从而使句式更加高级。
句1:If we cannot obtain both,the first thing to consider is a good major,...
句2:If we cannot obtain both,I'd like to choose a good major...
句2中使用了I'd like to...来表明这是自己的看法,更加扣题。

参考范文:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position as a secretary in your company.I think I'm qualified for the position.I'm 32 years old.Nine years ago,I graduated from the Chinese Department of Zhejiang University as a top student and got a job as a secretary in East Mechanical Company.My education training equipped me with the necessary skills in secretarial work.So far,more than 20 articles of mine have been published in various newspapers and magazines.As for English,I have a good knowledge of it and can freely communicate with foreigners.I have had a driving license since 3 years ago.I hope to have an opportunity to be interviewed.I'm interested in joining you.I believe my service can be of benefit to your company.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
1.So far,more than 20 articles of mine have been published in various newspapers and magazines.
2.As for English,I have a good knowledge of it and can freely communicate with foreigners.
3.I believe my service can be of benefit to your company.
下列句子选自短文中,如能作以下调整,文笔会更生动。
句1:I have had a driving license since 3 years ago.
句2:It is/has been 3 years since I passed the drive test.
因为原文句式多以第一人称开头,显得有些单调,而句2中用了It is +时间段+since...表示自从……以来有多久了。变I为主语的句式为it句型,使得文章句式多变。
句1:I hope to have an opportunity to be interviewed.
句2:I'll appreciate it if an opportunity can be offered to make me known to you in an interview.
句2中采用了appreciate 这个较高级词汇,并用了it作形式宾语。if为真正的宾语从句并在从句中以an opportunity 为主语变主动为被动。所以较句1的表达方式来说,句2更高级且更能将申请者希望得到面试机会的感情表达出来。
