Volunteer Farm feeds the hungry
在美国的弗吉尼亚州,有一个特殊的农场——Volunteer Farm,它由来自各地的志愿者来打理,为许多买不起食物的人们提供新鲜的蔬菜和水果。
Hunger in the United States is nothing compared to hunger in some parts of the world.Yet 10 million American households report that they do not always know where they will find their next meal.
The report by Feeding America,the largest hunger relief charity in the US,also says that each week,more than 5.5 million Americans turn to emergency food sources.Most of what they find in charities is bottled,canned or dry goods.
But at the Volunteer Farm in Virginia,fresh food is being harvested to feed the hungry.
As its name suggests,the farm relies on volunteers to weed,plant and harvest.During the past seven years the farm has had over 10,000 volunteers.They have come from nearly every US state and 26 foreign countries.
One day,a group from Tinkling Springs Church drove more than 100 kilometers to collect potatoes from a field.The majority of the volunteers,more than 50,were children.
Harriet,one of the church leaders,says that after a few hours' working in the sun,“the children go to bed,tired,but they know in a very physical and practical way that they have made a difference.”
Produce from the Volunteer Farm is distributed through large food banks.
“We received last year,about 71,000 pounds of fresh produce from the Volunteer Farm,”says Teresa,Director of Virginia Food Bank.
She says fruits and vegetables are important for proper nutrition.“They are healthier,so much better for children's bodies and we are able to provide so much with the Volunteer Farm.”

关联词语
一篇好文章除了要求覆盖所有的要点,应用较多的语法结构和词汇以外,还必须有效地使用语句间的连接成分,使全文结构紧凑,行文连贯,条理清楚。要使句子与句子之间的意思互相连接,就需要有关联词语。没有关联词语,读者就很容易被弄糊涂。这些关联词语帮助读者推断出文章中接下来将发生什么。
以下是句子之间常见的几类关联词:
一、Time sequence words——表示先后次序关系的词语
用来列举事件以及人的行为或观点发生、发展的次序。这一类常见的连接词有:firstly,secondly,finally,in the end,previously,next,at last,eventually,to begin with,to start with,first of all,to end with,afterwards等。
There are some rules we must obey in the lab.To begin with,don't touch anything unless your teacher asks you to.

三、Contrasting words——表示对比关系的词语

In addition,the product that a star advertises is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
Besides,we must take measures to control pollution.
五、Conclusive words——表示总结归纳的词语

In my opinion,we should be cool and sensible while choosing a product.
In a word,the virtue of helping others is frequently seen in our daily life.
除了以上列举的这些连接词以外,英语中还有许多各式各样的连接词。如表示转折、并列、举例、条件、让步等关系的关联词。它们的出现使得原本显得孤立的句子
形成语意丰富的篇章。在平时的学习中留意并积累一些这样的连接词无疑会有助于我们口语与书面表达的提高。

9.run out用完;耗尽(不及物动词,无被动语态)
Alternative energy sources can be used without running out.(教材P14)替代能源可以被使用而不会耗尽。
Time is running out for the trapped miners.
被困矿工的时间不多了。
【提示】 run out表示“某物用完了”,物作主语;run out of 表示“某人用完了某物”,人作主语,是及物动词短语,物作主语时没有被动形式。
The petrol ran out,which means we ran out of the petrol or the petrol was run out of.汽油耗尽了,那意味着我们用光了汽油或汽油被用光了。
run across 无意间碰到
run after 追逐;追求
run away 逃走;离家
run off 逃跑;出版
run over 碾压;快速阅读
in the long run 从长远的观点来看
in the short run 从短期来看;在短期内
I ran across the letter while I was tidying the drawers.
我在整理抽屉时,偶然发现了那封信。
When he was 13,he ran away from home.
他13岁时离家出走。
—Have we ________ food
—Yes,________.We'd better buy some.
A.run out of;we have run it out
B.run out of;our food has run out
C.run out of;our food has been run out
D.run out;our food has run out
【解析】 句意:“我们的食品用完了吗?”“是的,已经用完了,我们最好买一些。”run out of“用光,耗尽”,主语是人,用完的东西作它的宾语。而run out则需要用物作主语。因此选B。
【答案】 B
10.The pipes have oil or water inside them,which is heated and sent to the storage tank until needed or used to produce electricity.
管子里有油或水,它们先被加热,然后被输送到储存槽里储存备用,或者被用来发电。
句子中which引导非限制性定语从句,until needed=until it is needed是一种省略形式,to produce electricity是目的状语。
非限制性定语从句指代物时只能用which引导,指代全句时用which,as。
Zhang Jike won the match,which made me very happy.
张继科取得了这场比赛的胜利,这使我非常高兴。
He is ready to help others,as anybody can see.
正如大家所看到的,他乐于助人。
【对接高考】
①(2013·安徽高考)Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012,________ made one of the Chinese people's long held dreams come true.
A.it B.that
C.what D.which
【解析】 句意:莫言获得2012年诺贝尔文学奖,这件事使中国人民长久以来的一个梦想得以实现。此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子。it和what不能引导定语从句,可排除;that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。故选D项。
【答案】 D
②(2013·山东高考)There is no simple answer,________ is often the case in science.
A.as B.that
C.when D.where
【解析】 句意:没有简单的答案,在科学上情况通常是这样。因句中有逗号,其后面的句子中无连词引导,可判断是定语从句。本句的先行词是空格前的整个句子,有此用法的是 as。as在句中意为“正如,正像”。“as is often the case”常被看作是一个固定搭配,意为“情况通常是这样”,符合句意。that不能引导非限制性定语从句,when的先行词在后面的定语从句中作时间状语,where的先行词在后面的定语从句中作地点状语,故B、C、D三项都不符合句意,应被排除。
【答案】 A
用as,which填空
①________is known to everybody,the moon travels round the earth once every month.
②The weather turned out to be very good,________was more than we could expect.
③She has been absent again,________ is expected.
④Tom has made rapid progress,________makes me very happy.
【答案】 ①As ②which ③as ④which
11.The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world.
类似项目的引进将有望帮助结束对环境的蓄意破坏,确保替代能源在世界范围内得以推广。
在本句中see的意思是“确保”,后接复合宾语结构,alternative energy为宾语,promoted作补足语表示被动。过去分词作宾语的补足语表示被动意义。
I got my bike repaired.我请人修了自行车。
I'll have my house painted tomorrow.
明天我会让人把我的房子粉刷一下。
Because of my poor English I'm afraid I can't make myself ________.So I spoke loudly.
A.understand B.be understood
C.understood D.understanding
【解析】 句意:由于我的英语不好,唯恐别人听不懂我的讲话,所以就大声讲。本题考查过去分词作宾语补足语。句中make是使役动词,其后可接A项understand不带to 的动词不定式作宾语补足语,意为(不能)“使自己听懂”,也可以接C项understood作宾语补足语,意为(不能)“使自己被听懂”。而B、D项结构不正确,排除掉。根据语境可知是句子的主语自己在讲话,因此怕别人听不懂,所以选择C项。
【答案】 C
连接词在作文中的使用
本单元的写作项目主要是关于英语写作中过渡词,连接词的使用。一些同学在作文中使用过多简单句,成了简单句堆砌,有的写复杂句时,动辄用so,and,then,but,or,however,yet等,非但达不到丰富表达方式的目的,反而使句子结构松散、呆板。为了避免这种现象,可以通过合理使用连接词,尤其是一些表示从属关系的连接词,如because,since,although,after,as,before,when,whenever,if,unless,as if等,不仅能够丰富句型,而且还能够把思想表达得更清楚,意义更连贯。
Natural resources are very limited.They will be exhausted in the near future.It is not true.But it becomes a major concern around the world.This is a widely accepted fact.
这段文字用简单句表达,它们之间内在的逻辑关系含糊不清,意思支离破碎。如果使用连接词,将单句与其前后合并,形成主次关系,就把一个比较复杂的内容和关系表达得层次清楚、结构严谨。
It is a widely accepted fact that there is a major concern around the world for the exhaustion of limited natural resources in the near future,though it is unlikely to be true.

Dear editor,
Students are reading more than ever before today.Indeed,the importance of reading can never be too much stressed.
First of all,reading,especially out of class reading,enriches our mind and broadens our horizons.People say that books are the crystal of human wisdom.Through reading,we can learn what cannot be learnt in class.Besides,reading is also a way of relaxation.It is so refreshing to read a story before going to bed,or after a day of study.What's more,reading is a good way to kill time while having fun.
There're many famous sayings about reading,like“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”.Then,how can we develop the habit of reading?In the first place,I believe we need to begin from an early age,then stick to it and never give up.Secondly,it makes sense for us to choose those which contribute to our healthy growth.Last but not least,we should keep notes while reading.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
