答案与解析：
文章通过判断一个物体的颜色的事例告诉我们：有时我们需要站在别人的角度思考问题。
1．D 从下文的but I have never forgotten可推知，“我”记不清为何争吵。
2．A 最后一段点明主旨“My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day...”，与第一段相呼应，这是“我”多年前得到的一个教训。
3．C 从下文可知，当时“我”相信自己是正确的。be convinced that意为“确信，深信”。
4．B 下文多次提到my teacher，所以应选B项。
5．C bring指“带……到某处”。其他选项不符合文意。
6．B 从下文的her desk可知，老师把我们带到讲桌边，讲桌应在教室前面，故B项最佳。
7．B 根据下文，老师把我们安置在讲桌的两边。place意为“放置，安放，安置”。
8．A 从上文“on one side of her desk”可推知“我”站到那个同学对面，即讲桌的另一边，应是the other side。
9．C 从下段第11空后的“...it was obviously black”可知，从“我”这边，很清晰地看到那个物体是黑色的，故选择clearly。
10．C 从black和white可知，老师在问我们物体的颜色。
11．A when在此相当于considering that，意思是“考虑到……”。本句的意思是“考虑到它明显是黑色的，我无法相信他所说的物体是白色的。”
12．B 由两人回答的颜色不同可知他们的意见不统一，所以又一次争吵起来。
13．A this time“这一次”，与文章开头提到的一次争吵呼应。
14．A 由上句两个where可知，我们交换了地点。
15．D 根据上下文，我们两人互相交换了地点，“我”看到了事物的另一面，不得不承认是白色的，(即“我”的同学刚才看到的颜色)。
16．B 由下文“from his side it was white”和“from my side was it black”可知，物体的两面颜色不同，故differently正确。
17．C 通过上句，从他那面看，物体是白色，可是只有从“我”这面看是黑色。由句子使用了倒装was it black可知，只有only符合文意。
18．B (be)in sb.'s shoes“处于某人的境地”。不及物动词stand代替了be在此表示动作，说明你看问题要站在对方的角度(换位思考)。
19．A 学会换位思考，通过对方的眼睛来看事情的situation“局面，情况，局势”。movement“运动”，condition“状况”，behaviour“行为”。
20．D 通过上文可知，只有你自己处在别人的境况下，才能“真正”理解别人，故D项。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
Teens' lives hit by economy
Some teenagers are crossing their dream colleges off their lists.Others are thinking of skipping their senior trips or reducing prom(毕业舞会)costs.Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.
So，who exactly is punishing them？Is it their parents，teachers or employers？No，it's the economy.
If you are like most teenagers，you probably don't understand what“recession”，“negative economic growth”and“subprime mortgage crisis(次贷危机)”actually mean.And you probably don't spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock market.
It's safe to say that most teens don't know much about the economy except for one thing：it's bad.But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?
“The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession's ability to affect my college choice，”said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California，US.
“With the economic situation the way it is，I have thought less about going to a private or out-of-state university，and more about public schools in California，mainly because of the price of tuition，”said Richars.“I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year.”
The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers' lives，too.
Joey Camarda，a student at Modesto High School in California，who works at an ice cream store，said，“Probably due to the economy，I have been getting less hours at my job，and because of that，I am not getting enough money to help pay for college.”
Tara Mooney，a senior at Beyer High School，has also begun to notice that money is tight.
“Things are getting expensive，”she said.“When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips，I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all.”
1．The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ________.
A．the economic recession has had a big impact on teens' work，life and study
B．teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply for
C．teenagers don't know much about the economic recession
D．teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money
答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是青少年的学习和工作、生活受到了美国经济衰退的重大影响，并举例加以说明。
2．Because of the bad economic situation，Heather Richars will most probably ________.
A．go to a private university
B．attend an out-of-state college
C．attend a public college in California
D．find a good university as he planned
答案与解析：C 细节推理判断题。根据文章第六段可推知此题答案。
3．How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?
A．He has to find more part-time jobs.
B．He has to help his mother do more chores.
C．He has found that he had more time to study.
D．His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据本文倒数第三段Joey Camarda的话，可知他的工作时间缩短了，因此不能挣够用来上大学的钱。所以D正确。其他三个选项文章都没有提到。
4．What can we conclude from the passage?
A．Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.
B．Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.
C．Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.
D．Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据全文可知：由于受到经济衰退的影响，青少年的许多心愿和想法都不能像过去一样实现了，故答案C是正确的。

Ⅴ.重点句子（旨在提供句子结构等所需材料）
1. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres. 那里空气湿润，因而树木长得相当高，有的超过90米。

She was so angry that she couldn’ t say a word. = She was too angry to say a word. 她太气愤以致于说不出话来。
辨析：so...that与such...that：
so...that与such...that意思一致，that均引导结果状从句，但是so为副词，such为形容词，所以二者所接词不一样的。
① so +adj. / adv. + that从句或so +adj. + a(n) + 单名+ that从句

She is such a good teacher that we all love her. 她是一位如此好老师以致于我们都爱她。
They are such naughty boys that they often make mistakes. 他们是如此淘气以致于经常犯错误。
提示：在so十much／many／little／few + n. +that从句结构中，little当“少”讲，接在so之后，但当little当“小”讲时，应接在such之后。如：
They are such little children that they can’ t look after themselves.他们是那么小的孩子还不能自理。

To "sacrifice" means to give up something for the sake of something else. We decided to sacrifice our luxurious city life to move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3. In the city, we had a beautiful home and plenty of money but little real security because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it home safely each night.
We were very happy in the new town but life was very difficult economically. Our income was very much dependent on tourism and the jobs at other times are few. Although many of the long-standing residents live well, it is a very competitive environment for newcomers.
Reading the newspapers from big cities assured us that we had made the right choice. There is so much violence and crime there! However, it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have, especially when our "rich" friends came from the city to visit us. Generally, they have so much but think they have so little and are always looking for more.
One day, one of our rich friends came to visit us. His son preferred riding in the back of our beat-up little pickup (小卡车) to his father' s big modern car. Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James the reason why he is wrong. He said, ' today, if you don't have money you are nothing.' I know that is not true. If you do have money you share it with your friends and if they don't have money, you share it with them. That is what makes us all rich." This made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it. Our kids understand that they may not have all the spoils of city life but they do have a solid set of values and they know that our most precious gifts are our good friends and a wonderful environment.
1. What was the reason why the family moved away from the city?
A. They were tired of city life.
B. The city was not safe enough.
C. The people in the city were not friendly.
D. The cost of living in the city was too high.
2. Why was it "a very competitive environment" for them according to the author?
A. The residents were all very poor.
B. It was hard to make a living.
C. Their children couldn't get what they had in the city.
D. They had few friends in their new environment.
3. What assured the author that they had made the right choice according to the passage?
A. What she read in the newspaper.
B. The beautiful scenery of countryside.
C. The residents' living conditions.
D. That fact that they had been accustomed to the new place.
4. What does the underlined word "beat-up" probably mean?
A. Old. B. Convenient. C. Powerful. D. Expensive.
5. What did the family gain from their sacrifice?
A. They had a beautiful house in the seaside village.
B. They made a lot of money during the tourist seasons.
C. The parents got very good jobs in the new town.
D. The children developed good values.
答案：
城市里的犯罪率不断上升，作者一家感到非常不安全，因此他们放弃了富裕的城市生活，举家搬迁到一个海边小镇，他们在小镇的生活经济状况并不好，但是孩子却形成了正确的价值观，作者认为这一点正是他们放弃城市生活最有价值的回报。
1.B 细节理解题。从文章的第一段最后两句话“In the city, we had a beautiful home and plenty of money but little real security because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it home safely each night.”可知作者一家离开城市的原因是因为感到城市里不安全，因此选B。
2.B 细节判断题。从文章第二段第二句“Our income was very much dependent on tourism and the jobs at other times are few.”我们可知，新环境是一个充满竞争的地方，工作很少，经济收入不稳定，因此很难谋生。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Reading the newspapers from big cities assured us that we had made the right choice.”可知，作者在报纸上读到的信息使她确信所做的选择是正确的，因此选A。
4.A 猜测词义题。与后面的to his father’s big modern car形成对比，这里指的是破旧的小卡车，因此选A。
5.D 细节判断题。纵观全文，作者先陈述了搬迁的理由，然后陈述了搬迁后的一些不适，但在文章的最后一段作者听了女儿的一番话后，感觉到他们的决定没错，因为孩子形成了正确的价值观。
4.基础写作
假如今天是10月10号，星期天，天气晴朗。下午你要到你家附近书店去买一本英英词典，路上你遇见了一位迷路的新西兰老太太，史密斯太太，你没有去书店，而是把她送回了宾馆。一路上你用英语和她交谈。你向她介绍了你市的几个著名景点。史密斯太太也向你介绍了一些新西兰的情况。虽然没有买到书，但你却有很多收获。

答案：
October, loth, Sunday Sunny
I went to a bookstore near my home to buy an English-English dictionary this afternoon. On my way to the bookstore, I met Mrs Smith from New Zealand, who had lost her way, and I decided to take her to her hotel instead of going to the bookstore. While we were going there, we talked a lot in English with each other. I told her some of the places of interest in our city and Mrs Smith told me something about her country.
Though I didn't buy the dictionary, I felt very happy for I had helped her and had the chance to practice my spoken English.

4.同位语从句和定语从句的区别

(2)同位语从句说明的名词基本都是抽象名词，而定语从句修饰、限定的名词则没有限制。
典型例句:?
The news that they won the match is true.?
他们比赛获胜的消息是真的。（同位语从句，news和从句没有逻辑关系。）?
Have you heard the news that he will be back soon.?
你已经听到他要回来的消息了吗？?

A.who
B.that?
C.as
D.which?
解析：考查同位语从句的引导词，此题是一个同位句是关键，而且应当知道that引导名词性从句在句中只起引导词的作用不作成分。that引导的同位语从句解释前面的word，别的引导词不合适。
答案：B?

e.g.I don’t think I know you.
我想我并不认识你。
注意：若谓语动词为hope,宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。
e.g.I hope you weren’t ill.
我想你没有生病吧。
2.将seem,appear 等后的从句的否定转移到前面。
e.g.It doesn’t seem that they know where to go.

【教学反思】
根据教材的编写特色和教师在教学过程中的具体实践对本单元教材内容进行了重组。课堂多采用任务型教学，设计了不同层面的活动，旨在激发学生积极主动地参与学习活动，在活动中学习。
每节课所设定的教学目标是有所侧重的，如：在最后一节听力和写作为主的语言运用课中，听力内容的选取和题目的设计都是为写作服务的，它只是写作前的“热身”活动，所以不应花太多时间，以免喧宾夺主。
鉴于每单元都有大量的新单词，单靠堂上是无法消化的，因此对单词的学习可以采取分期分批分重点学习和反复再现的方式以达到记忆和巩固的目的。为了顺利完成阅读与语言点的学习，把单词分2-3次，并分为重点、次重点和非重点三批要求学生分步自学完成。
为了使双人活动及小组活动更有效，任务设计要符合学生的实际水平，难易要适中。最好能提供一些必要的依据及材料，让学生有的放矢。而且要给与足够的时间以保证活动的质量。
每节课的设计都应包含语言运用的环节，即使是语言点和语法教学为主的课型。
作业的布置应该是明确的和细化的，因为它直接关系到学生学习的效果以及次日的教学内容的顺利进行。
充分发挥学生的主体作用，鼓励他们在网上获取所需知识。
