难度系数：★★
In many cultures，January 1st marks the beginning of a new year.But in the eyes of Chinese people，the traditional time of the new beginning is the Spring Festival.
Usually，the Chinese New Year celebration lasts for three weeks，starting from the 23rd day of the previous year’s 12th month of the lunar calendar until the 15th day of the New Year.①Here are some centuries-old traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.
·Spring cleaning.Every family will clean the house one week ahead of the New Year.It is widely believed that a freshly cleaned house will bring good luck to people.
·Making decorations.People will make red paper-cuts，Chinese characters or red lanterns that mean luck，happiness and blessing，and stick them onto doors and windows.
·Setting off fireworks.In fairy tales，people managed to scare away a monster named Nian by setting off fireworks.In reality，the sound of fireworks can increase the festival atmosphere.
·Lucky money.Seniors give kids lucky money in red envelopes，in the hope of making their future much brighter.
·Eating dumplings.The shape of a dumpling looks somewhat like a kind of money that was used in ancient times.②People believe the more dumplings you eat，the more wealth you will get during the new year.
○课标词汇
○重要短语
ahead of在……之前
set off点燃； 爆炸
scare away吓跑
in reality实际上； 事实上
in the hope of ...希望……
look somewhat like看起来有点像
①Here are some centuries-old traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.
分析：该句为简单句，“Here are some centuries-old traditions”为倒装句，“shared by the Chinese community”为过去分词短语作后置定语，“in order to...”为目的状语。
○句型精析
译文：为了在新的一年里增进健康和财富的祝福，这里是华人社区分享的一些有数百年历史的传统。
②People believe the more dumplings you eat，the more wealth you will get during the new year.
分析：该句为复合句，“People believe”后是省略了that的宾语从句，从句为“the more... the more...”结构。
译文：人们相信饺子吃得越多，在新的一年里就会得到越多的财富。

【翻译】在唱了几首歌之后，参赛者们在绿地上跳舞，像老鹰一样在空中挥舞手臂。

Dear Rick，
How is everything going？I had a five-day trip to London last week.I would like to express my gratitude for your hospitality and kindness when I was in London.
Knowing that you take a great fancy to Chinese culture，especially the Dragon Boat Festival，I would love to introduce it to you.The Dragon Boat Festival，which has an origin in ancient China, falls on the May 5th in the lunar calendar.People celebrate this festival in memory of Qu Yuan，who was a famous Chinese figure in history.Besides，people in China will also hold a wide range of activities to honor him，such as dragon boat racing，eating zongzi and so on.
Welcome to China.You will have an unforgettable and exciting experience here.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

During the last winter holiday, before the Spring Festival, I went to visit my grandma.Entering the room, I found her busy making paper-cuts with the New Year’s Day approaching.
Attracted by her delicate works, I couldn’t wait to have a try.With her patient instruction, I learnt the basic steps and skills of making paper-cuts.Soon my creations were“born”．Then eagerly, we put them up.With different designs on the windows, such as an ox and the Chinese character “Fu”， our room was filled with a festival atmosphere.Besides, I gave some of our paper-cuts to our neighbors, who were very happy to receive them.I felt proud when seeing their smiles.
Paper-cut is precious treasure of China so it should be passed on.(共119张PPT)

◇句式解读
1．(P3)After all，as you know，I love to dance!
【翻译】毕竟，正如你知道的，我喜欢跳舞！
【考点提炼】as you know 是as 引导的非限制性定语从句。as 用作关系代词代替整个主句， as 意为“正如，正像”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)as引导的从句位置较灵活，可以位于主句前面、中间或后面，一般用逗号与主句隔开。常用的表达有：
as is known to all 众所周知
as is reported 正如报道的那样
as is often the case 情况常常如此
as often happens 这种情况常常发生
as is expected 正如所预料的
(2)which 引导非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句时，只能位于主句之后，不放在句首。

【答案】(1)as (2)which
2．(P3)It’ll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes.
穿着那双鞋长时间行走或跳舞太累了。
【考点提炼】该句子为it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式结构to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes。
【归纳拓展】
(1)It is clear/ obvious/ true/ possible/ important/ necessary/ certain...句型中，it作为形式主语，后面的主语可以是不定式结构，也可以是that从句。
中间的形容词也可以是名词，比如a habit, a rule，an honor等。此外，该句型中，如果句型中的形容词描述的是sb.的品质、品格，在逻辑上可以作sb.的表语，则sb.前应用介词of，否则就用for。
(2)It is no use/ no good/useless/a waste of...后常接动名词作真正的主语。
It is not right to use these places as rubbish dumps.
把这些地方用来倒垃圾是不对的。

语音时空
□音的同化
音的同化是英语发音中的一个重要现象。 语流中两个邻近的不同的音， 其中一个受到另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近， 叫作音的同化。大致可分为以下三类：
1．因唇形的影响而发生的同化：
/n/，/d/，/t/在双唇音/m/，/b/，/p/前面被同化， 如ten pairs, get me, that boy。
2．因声带的影响而发生的同化：
(1)浊辅音可变为清辅音。例如：of course
(2)清辅音可变为浊辅音。例如：like that
3．因发音部位的影响而发生的同化：
本音 同化音 举例
/s/＋/ / / / this shop; nice shoes
/z/＋/ / / / those sheep; Has she come
本音 同化音 举例
/t/＋/j/ /t / situation; natural; next year
/d/＋/j/ /d / graduate; Would you like it
/s/＋/j/ / / assure; Don’t miss your train.
/z/＋/j/ / / as usual; as you know
