(A)
No air means death. Although we cannot see it, there is air round us. So air is everywhere and it gives life to every living thing. Without it we cannot live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.
In the city there are many people and there are too many cars running on the road. The gas which the car makes is full of poison(毒). Every day we breathe it in and out. This makes us feel sick. So people should go out of door to breathe fresh air as much as they can.
Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys of these factories, we get the smoke usually in black or grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes (与……混合) the air, is dangerous to our health. It is because smoke has many small poisonous soils and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we had better go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.
(B)
A discussion
Editor: Today our topic is part-time jobs. Are they good for school children or not?
Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they may fall asleep in class.
Mrs. Barrens: I agree with you. I know school hours are long, and there’s homework, too, so children need a lot of sleep.
Mr. Barrens: Some students stay at school until they are eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can’t harm them. In fact, it’s good for them. They earn their pocket-money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outside school.
Businessman: You’re quite right. Boys learn a lot from part-time jobs. And we mustn’t forget that some families need the extra (额外的) money. If the students don’t take part-time jobs, they may not stay at school.
Editor: Well, we have got two for, and two against. What do our readers think?
6. How many people join the discussion?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Three. D. Five.

A. need to stay at school until they are sixteen or seventeen

9. What do the children think of part-time jobs?
A. Part-time jobs are good for school children.
B. Part-time jobs can help students from poor families.

单元要点透视 全真考题解读（Module 1）
【语言要点1】几个不定代词的用法
【中考题再现】1. I can ______ swim ______ skate. I’m going to have some training next year.
A. either; or B. neither; nor
C. both; and D. not only; but also
【精彩解析】根据第二句的I’m going to some training next year. 判断，应该用“既不……也不……”，所以选B. neither; nor。
2. Neither Jim nor his cousins _______ to America, but ______ of them know the country very well.
A. have been, all B. have been, both
C. has been, all D. has been, both
【精彩解析】neither…nor…后面的谓语动词应用就近原则，所以应该与his cousins保持一致，用have been, 第二个空中根据句意应是“两者都”，所以应用both，因此选B. have been, both。
【语言要点2】different的用法
【中考题再现】These coats are different _______ size．
A. from B. of C. to D. in
【精彩解析】different是形容词，意为“不同的”，其反义词是same，表示“与…不同”是be different from, “与……一样” 是be same as，但是在本题中，因为后面没有宾语，所以不能选from，而应是构成短语in size，“在尺寸上”，所以选D. in。
【语言要点3】副词用作现在完成的状语
【中考题再现】—Have you seen the film?
—No, I have ____________ seen it before.
A. just B. ever C. never D. already
【精彩解析】just“刚刚”，ever“曾经”， never“从来没有”，already“已经”，都可以用作现在完成时的时间状语，但是它们的意义却不相同。在本题中，根据no判断，说明 “从来没有去过”，所以选C. never。
Module 1易混词语点拨
一、应该“高声地”：aloud, loud, loudly
【辨析点拨】以上三个词都可用作副词，意为“大声地，出声地”。aloud指使人能听见而发声，声音不一定很大，常译为“出声地”；loud指说话声和笑声很大；loudly指人声、敲门声等，强调声音高、喧闹、不悦耳。试比较：You should read aloud. 你应该读出声来。Don’t talk so loud. The baby is sleeping. 不要这么大声说话，小孩正在睡觉。 There is someone knocking loudly at the door. 有人正在大声地敲门。

Module 1语法
冠词。学习冠词，必须要掌握不定冠词a, an和定冠词the的基本用法及零冠词（不用冠词）的用法。但是，仅仅掌握了这三个方面，还是不能解答一部分有关冠词的题目。下面对冠词的一些较为特殊但却在考试中经常出现的知识点进行补遗。

2. 语言、学科等名词前不可用冠词。
如：Every day, we study Chinese, English and maths. 每天，我们学习语文，英语和数学。

4. 无论same在句中做何成分和在何位置，它的前面都要加the。
如：The twins look the same. 双胞胎长得很相似。
在一些介词词组中，名词前加the表示具体意义，不加the则表示抽象意义。
如：at the table 在桌旁 at table 在桌旁吃饭
at the school 在学校里 at school 上学
in the hospital 在医院里 （不一定住院治病） in hospital 住院治疗
6. 在It’s…句型中，当表示一个具体的实物时，名词前要加a (an)，但是字母时，不用a(an)。如：－What’s this, Mike? －这是什么，迈克、
－It’s C. －它是字母C。
7. 当基数词表示顺序时，其修饰的名词前不用冠词。
如：I am in Class one, Grade Two. 我在二年级一班。
8. 当English表示“英国人”时，其前面不加冠词。
如：The foreigner is English. 这个外国人是一个英国人。
9. 当在morning, afternoon, evening前面加the时，前面应用介词in。
如：in the morning/afternoon/evening 在上午、下午、晚上
当morning, afternoon, evening前面加a(an)时，则用介词on。

To study all the way to a 12th “grade” might sound strange to you. But not to an American student.
Most Americans have six years of primary school and six years of secondary school. Each year is called a grade.
From about age six, American children have six years of primary school. During those six years, the children learn to read and write and do easy maths. They also learn history, science, health and PE. Students in grades one through six usually only have one teacher for each year. They stay in the same classroom with the same students for all of their different subjects.
Secondary school has two parts: junior high school (sometimes called middle school) and high school. In the seventh grade, students begin to learn more subjects. They usually have between six and eight different classes per day. Each class has different students, and each one is taught by a different teacher.
Students have even more freedom in senior high. Most students begin to study a foreign language like Latin, Spanish or French. There are also classes in business, computers, and also courses like auto mechanics or farming. Besides their required classes, students can also choose a few classes that they’re interested in, like art, choir or woodworking.
In most places in the US, students can drop out of school at age 16. But most kids choose to stay. After students finish school, they can choose to start working, go to school for two years to learn a profession, or go to college.
Choose the best choice from ABC or D according to passage above.
1. This passage mainly talks about ____.
education in America
foreign languages
school subjects
how to study in American schools

points 1. The train was full of people, and I had to stand for over six hours. 火车上都是人，我不得不站了六个多小时。【讲解】
1) be full of 意为“充满……，装满……”，如：

另外我们可以用短语 be filled with 来表示
“充满……”，如：
The hall is full of students. 满大厅都是学生。 2) have to 意为“不得不”，表示因为客观条件而“不得不”，如：
Her mother was ill, so she had to stay at home to look after her. 她母亲病了，因此她不得不呆在家里照顾她。
当表示因为主观原因而“必须”时，用 must，如：
You must try your best to learn English.
你们必须努力学习英语。2. Well, it’s the busiest season in China because of Spring Festival. 因为春节，它是中国最繁忙的季节。【讲解】
the busiest season是形容词的最高级修饰
名词，注意最高级的前面应该加定冠词 the，
如：The Changjiang River is the longest river in China. 长江是中国最长的河流。当后面接从句时，用连词 because，如：2) because of 意为“因为”，后面应该接名词或名词短语，如：He wasn’t here today because of his illness. 因为他的病，今天他没有来。I was late for school because my bike was broken.
因为我的自行车坏了，所以我迟到了。3. …but there are plenty of fun things to do this term… the school trip…但是这个学期仍然有很多有意思的事情可以做，像学校旅行……【讲解】

我们瓶子里还有很多水。There are a number of young students planting trees. 有很多年轻的学生正在植树。2）a number of, many, few, a few用来修饰可数名词。如：3）a great deal of, much, little, a little用来修饰不可数名词。如：We have much trouble now.
