【要点精讲】
长难句
1. 【教材原句】 However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals. 然而,无论它们可能好像多么不同,分享快乐、感激、爱与和平在全世界所有的节日中都是普遍的。
【解析】no matter how +adj/adv+主语+谓语动词，引导让步状语从句，此时相当于however。
no matter+疑问词(what,who,whom,which)既可以引导名词性从句，又可以引导让步状语从句，在引导让步状语从句时相当于疑问词+ever。而在引导名词性从句时，则不能等同于疑问词+ever。
e.g. However far away we are,we feel close to each other.
=No matter how far away we are, we feel close to each other.
无论距离有多远,我们都会感觉彼此很亲近。

_________________________________________________________________________
Keys:1.I will believe in him, no matter what he said.
2.No matter how difficult the work is , I will try my best to solve it.
2. 【教材原句】With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. 随着现代社会的发展和新思想的普及,一些传统可能会消失,而一些其他传统也可能建立起来。
【解析】 With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas，随着现代社会的发展和新思想的普及。此句型是一个with引导的复合结构，With +n+of +n 表示随着…。
With the development of modern society/economy, ........(此句型可用于写作开头句型）
With复合结构作为写作的一个高分句型，在高中阶段需要学会使用，以下是复合结构的几种形式：
1.with+名词/代词+介词短语。
e.g.He came back home,with an umbrella in his hand.
2.with+名词/代词+形容词。
e.g.With the weather so hot, I decided to go swimming.
3.with+名词/代词+副词。

3.With the problems settled down, the meeting was over.
3.【教材原句】Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
【解析】此句中的which引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，此时不能用that代替which。在非限制性定语从句中，当从句缺宾语不能用who代替whom,而且一般不用why来引导非限制性定语从句。定语从句作为高考一个必考语法点，必须学会判定，引导词的使用，以及从句翻译。

3. 【教材原句】Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. 购物网站和社交软件使公众更容易花更多的钱为他们爱的人买礼物。
【解析】句中的made it much easier for the public to spend more...是“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,其中it是形式宾语,for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones是不定式的复合结构作真正的宾语, much easier是宾语补足语。“make it +adj+for sb to do sth.”也是写作中经常使用的一个句型。
e.g.The internet make it convenient for people to communicate with each other.

【解析】waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles. 现在分词短语做状语，表示主动和伴随。非谓
语动词运用于写作也是写作中的一大亮点，所以能够正确合理的使用非谓语动词（to do, doing, done）在
写作中可以增色不少。
e.g. He walked out of classroom, feeling that he was free.

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about it. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.
Tea remained scarce (稀少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, teatime was born.
12. What do we know about the introduction of tea into Britain
A. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
B. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
C. The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D. It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
13. When did tea become a popular drink in Britain probably
A. In the late 19th century. B. In the 18th century.
C. In the 17th century. D. In the 16th century.
14. The underlined words "this habit" in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. drinking tea with milk in it B. drinking tea without milk in it
C. drinking tea after dinner D. drinking tea in the afternoon
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The history of tea. B. The ways of making tea.
C. The birth of teatime. D. The habit of drinking tea.

12.A细节理解题。根据文章第一段It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.（茶在商店里是买不到的，即使是那些买得起它的人也只能把它从荷兰寄来，因为它是一种时髦的珍品。）可知，最开始是从荷兰将茶引入到英国的，故选A项。
13.C细节理解题。根据文章第二段...early in the 17th century. During the next few year so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.（茶叶在英格兰仍然稀缺和非常昂贵，直到17世纪初东印度公司的船只开始把它直接从中国带来英国。在接下来的几年里，大量茶叶涌入英国，价格下跌，许多人买得起。）可知，17世纪初，茶叶开始在英国流行。故选C项。
14.A词义猜测题。根据文章第三段内容可知，英国人之前喝茶是不加牛奶的。有一天，一位名叫德·塞维尼夫人的法国著名女士在茶中加了牛奶，发现味道很好。后来她的朋友也仿照她的这一做法，后来这种习惯慢慢地传播到了英国。可知划线部分“this habit”指的就是上文所提到的在茶中加入牛奶的习惯，故选A项。

IV. 读后续写。阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“I'm going to miss you so much, Poppy, "said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions(情绪)get the better of him.His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least.
The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile.” I guess this is it, “he said.” I'll see you back home in a month, okay？"His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy's mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn't seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn't.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn't her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. "What should we do to cheer Poppy up "asked Dad. “We've tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy, “smiled Mom.” Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let's get a little dog for Poppy."
It didn't take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them
home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动)ever
so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

Keys:Para 1.
Dad put the box on the ground and opened the top. A shiny little wet nose popped up. Then two fluffy paws. Next the box tipped over sideways, and out tumbled a mass of wiggly golden silliness. Poppy was amazed. She wagged furiously. She barked with joy. She smiled, her tongue lolling out as she investigated the surprise. The little pup was not shy and immediately starting yipping and jumping around the older dog. “That didn’t take long,” remarked Mom, as both dogs went roaring around the house in an impromptu game of chase. Dad laughed.
Para 2.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. He had missed Poppy and was looking forward to seeing her. When he bent down to give her a big hug, he fell over in surprise as a small golden cloud came racing up to lick his face too. “Oh my gosh, who is this ” he exclaimed. His parents laughed at the look of shock on his face. “That’s Pee-wee,” said Dad. “I can’t believe you got yourselves a puppy!” “We didn’t,” replied Mom. “This puppy is for Poppy!”
