Unit 5 Nelson Mandela——a modern hero
教材分析
I.教学内容分析
本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊·曼德拉。有别于一般故事的直叙手法,本单元采用穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉的手法,从不同的侧面反映故事的主题内容。第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。这样的写法尽可能剔除作者的主观看法,留给学生更多的思考空间,启发学生自己去思考,主动地表述对自己心目中英雄人物的看法。
Warming up部分通过学生的讨论,了解彼此及对伟人的品质看法。这部分的词汇都与学生的日常生活和学习有关,所以能调动学生讨论的积极性,同时了解学生的特点,达到热身的效果。
Pre-reading部分提供了六个重要的历史人物,这可以作为对学生知识面开阔与否的考察;同时借助有效的文字信息,要求学生读懂每个人的基本情况。通过讨论区分伟人和重要人物,理解伟人、重要人物之间的区别和联系,判断他们中谁能称得上是伟大的人。
Reading部分是伊莱亚斯介绍的1952-1963年期间的曼德拉:开设黑人律师事务所,为遇到麻烦的穷苦黑人提供咨询服务;以和平的方式来获取黑人应有的权利。
Comprehending 部分分别从不同层面引导学生进行阅读。通过判断正误,检测学生对阅读篇章的表层来理解程度;通过小组讨论,回答问题;根据不同的时间,分别列出曼德拉和伊莱亚斯的经历,要求学生充分的把握文章的结构。
Learning about Language部分主要着重于词汇和语法的学习与训练。词汇学习部分主要通过词语释义、缺词填空等形式的练习,帮助学生熟悉重点词汇和短语。语法部分紧扣
“when, where, why,介词+which,介词+whom引导的定语从句”这一语法项目,重点学习如何选择合适的引导词,通过填空以及举例的形式进行综合操练。
Using Language部分综合训练听、说、读、写的能力。阅读部分是本单元主要阅读篇章故事的延续。伊莱亚斯继续叙述他眼中的曼德拉,伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。伊莱亚斯的描述,可以使学生从中了解南非黑人当时的生活状况以及他们不平等的社会地位,从而进一步了解曼德拉。“写作”(Writing)部分重点指导学生如何选取和组织材料,来描述伟人。
Summing Up 部分引导学生从内容、词汇和语法三个方面进行总结。对于如何制作学习计划,对于提高学习策略水平有很大的帮助。

Suggested answers:
Elias was a black worker in South Africa. He just received little education when he was young. So he had some difficulties in his work. When he was at the age of 12, he met Mandela and solved his problems with his help. He was greatly moved by his kindness.
During Elias’ time, life for the blacks was hard. They had no rights to choose and were treated unequally. So when Mandela organized the ANC Youth League to fight for the equal rights of the blacks, Elias joined it as soon as he could. At first they tried some peaceful way to break the law but it was not allowed. As a result, they had to answer violence with violence to realize their dream of making black and white people equal.

Individual Work:
What qualities do you think are needed to make a great person? Look at the list of qualities that are set out below. You are going to choose four that you consider are the most important for a great person.
intelligent determined generous kind
unselfish hard-working brave confident
Try to work out reasons so that your choice is not just your point of view.

While you are choosing each one, think of someone you know or have heard of that has that quality. Then when you have finished choosing, prepare to give a talk to the class. You should explain why you chose each one and who shows it.
Remind the students to use the expressions set out in Talking.
Sample dialogue:
S1: Let's have a look at these qualities. I think a great person should certainly be determined and hard-working. We all know you get nowhere without hard work.
S2: Yes, I agree but what about being intelligent?
S1: Maybe. I'm afraid that I don't agree. Kindness and generosity are far more attractive qualities.
S2: Yes, you are right, but you cannot be kind or generous until you are successful. You need intelligence to see what opportunities are available and work hard to use your knowledge to make a lot of money.
S1: What do you think of being brave and confident? Surely you need those qualities before you are successful to make sure you can be successful
S2: Yes, and once you are successful you need other qualities to be great. That's why being unselfish, kind and generous is so important.

Unit 5 Nelson Mandela-a modern hero 单元概述
本单元以Nelson Mandela—a modern hero为话题,目的在于使学生了解一个伟人应具备怎样的品质,学会根据材料表达自己的观点,并用所学的句型来描写一个伟人。本单元所有语言知识和语言技能主要围绕“Nelson Mandela”这一中心话题进行设计,听、说、读、写的练习也始终围绕这一主题展开。课文讲述了南非黑人争取自由的历史,从而说明自由、平等的重要性,同时也表达了对那些为自由和平等权利而献身的勇士的敬仰。
Warming up利用图表的形式让学生判断一下自己是哪种类型的人,由此得出一个伟人应具备怎样的品质。
Pre-reading设计了一道题(How can we tell if an important person is a great person?),同时给学生提供了六个名人的图片,要求利用图片下面提供的人物事迹以及学生对他们的了解,来判断这六个人谁是伟人,谁是重要的人物。可以以四人小组的活动形式,组织学生谈论William Tyndale,Norman Bethune,Sun Yat-sen,Gandhi,Nelson Mandela和Neil Armstrong的主要事迹,引起学生对文章内容的思考,使学生能用英语阐述自己的意见,培养学生的观察能力和语言表达能力,为进入正文学习作好充分的准备。从学生的生活经验和兴趣出发,在课堂教学中应设计任务型教学活动,以学生为主体开展教学活动,让学生在完成各项任务的过程中自主学习语言,这充分体现了新课程标准的教学理念,同时也提高了学生学习的自主性。Reading部分以Elias的口吻,讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争历史。同时还提到了他与Nelson Mandela的一段交往,从侧面向学生展示Nelson Mandela的高贵品质。教材设计的目的是在训练学生阅读技能的基础上,让他们认识到南非黑人争取自由和平等权利而付出的艰辛努力。文章的主题有利于培养学生坚强的意志,树立正确的人生观与世界观。此外,这是一篇记叙文,应让学生学会利用时间顺序描述一个人一生的主要活动。Comprehending是在阅读的基础上,要求学生完成两道大题来整体理解课文。第一道辨别是非题的设计由表及里、层层深入,帮助学生逐步加深对课文的理解。第二道信息采集题则考查了学生阅读理解能力中的细节理解能力。
Learning about language分词汇和语法两部分,词汇部分第一题要求学生用课文中的词填空。第二题要求学生正确理解不同单词的具体用法。语法部分是对定语从句中关系副词的用法进行了概括与复习。设计的练习紧密联系课文,能加深学生对教材的理解。
Using language分为“听力”(Listening)、“阅读”(Reading)、“写作”(Writing)三个部分。听力部分是在Learning about language活动的基础上,以听力训练形式进一步帮助学生了解Elias加入the ANC Youth League的原因。材料内容可以说是课文的延续。练习包括两个项目,设计多样,生动有趣。第二题有利于培养学生用英语进行总结概括自己思想的能力。同时,在听力技能的训练上列出了有关听前预测的三条建议:1.在听前认真阅读问题和选项;2.努力预测可能的答案;3.根据常识来判断。这些技能是做好听力题的关键,应引起教师的充分关注。同时,这个听力可以和72页的Listening task进行整合。阅读部分谈论到了Elias的狱中生活和狱后不同的遭遇,进一步说明自由、平等的重要性。写作部分在听力和阅读的基础上,要求学生给南非总统写一封信,要求释放Nelson Mandela。这是一个任务型的学习活动,指导学生就自己感兴趣的话题开展写作活动,以及学生写作时应注意的有关事项,要求学生写出自己的看法。练习生动有趣,能够引起学生的兴趣。同时让学生在实践中体验“自由”的内涵,有助于提高他们的语言概括能力。教师要指导学生注意信的格式。
Summing up为单元学习的调查和反馈,让学生自我归纳本单元所学的语言知识以及从Nelson Mandela身上所体现的高贵品质。Learning tip主要是来指导学生开展同类文章的课外阅读,进一步提升这一类文章的阅读技能。
此外,在整个单元的教学中,要始终注意认知策略的培养,引导学生进一步了解具体史实和事件,加深对种族及种族歧视、不同国家、不同历史年代人物与事件的认识和理解。一方面,课前、课后鼓励学生利用网络和图书馆搜集相关资料,善于获得学习资源,充分利用学习资源。另一方面,着重培养情感策略,激励学生热爱民主、平等、和平、自由、守法,积极上进、奋斗创新。

Period 5. Listening
Step 1. Using language- listening Ss are asked to read the questions and multiple answers to find out the listening points first, then listen to the tape three times to choose the best answers and answer the two questions. Ask the Ss pay much attention to these important points while listening. And tell them to take notes like this: Passbook: a book… Underground; Surface: Live:
Step 2. Listening Ss turn to page 69 and listen to the tape three times. Before they listen, ask them to read the questions first.

Finish the letter like this: Yours sincerely, (Your name) 4. Choose some Ss to read their letters. Suggested answers Jinan No.1 Middle School Shandong, China October 27, 2004 Dear President, I am writing to ask you to free Nelson Mandela. Here are some reasons why I think he should be free. As we all know, people with different colors should be equal. Nelson Mandela devoted all his life to realize this dream. I n1994, he founded the ANC Youth League to call on people to struggle for their rights to vote. In 1952, he opened a law office to help the poor black people in Johannesburg on their problems. The black people loved him. In 1962, Mandela encouraged people to use violence against anti-black laws to get their rights, so he was sentenced to five years hard labor. One year later, as one of the leaders of the ANC, he led them to blow up the government buildings to realize their dream of making black and white people equal, so that he was again sentenced to prison for life on Robben Island until now. I think, what he did was for his people, his country, not for himself. He has an unselfish and brave heart. As he is a great man, you should set him free. Best wishes! Yours truly, Li Hua
Step 3. Writing task Ask the Ss write a great person in their eyes. Give the Ss a possible version after they finish it. Mother Teresa Personal information Was born in Yugoslavia, on August 27, 1910, a nurse, got the Noble Peace Prize Hard work Achievement Help the poor and comforting the dying in the street of the city; her work spread to others parts of India Good qualities Hard-working, kind-hearted, persistent Your opinion A well-known person, worth the prize

(ELIAS’ STORY)
Introduction
In this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to talk about great people. Then they will be helped to read a narration entitled Elias’s story. It’s a story about a Elias helping Mandela working for the freedom of the black people.
Three examples of “Warming Up” designs are presented in this book for teachers’ reference. Computer and overhead projector may be used to aid the teaching and learning.
Objectives
To help students learn to describe people
To help students learn to read a narrative text
To help students better understand “freedom for all”
To help students learn to use some important words and expressions
To help students identify examples of the attributive clause < where, when, why, pre. +which/ whom>
Focus
Words
devote, vote, attack, escape, educate, beg, reward
Expressions
out of work, as a matter of fact, in trouble, turn to, lose heart, come to power, set up, be sentenced to
Patterns
The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very different period of my life.
We have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.
Only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.
As a matter of fact, I do not like violence…
Procedures
1. Warming up
⑴ Warming up by describing yourselves
Hello, boys and girls. This morning we’ll take up Unit 5 in which we’ll learn to describe people. But first what kind of person are you? (shy, outgoing, fun, mean, immature, dramatic or nice, kind, honest, brave, loyal, happy, wise, smart, friendly, warm, cheerful, popular, generous, hard-working, diligent, weak, stupid, lazy, dishonest, mean, tense, cold, unkind, miserable, dull, strong-minded, determined)
⑵ Warming up by describing a great person
We take Unit 5 today which is about a modern hero, a great person named Nelson Mandela. But what is a great person like? (A great person should be determined, hard-working, unselfish, and generous. He should follow his ideas and never lose heart when he is in trouble. He usually gives up something to achieve his goals. He should be willing to do public service work without pay, be active in social activities, gets on well with others, and help others, etc.)
Boys and girls, in Unit 5 we will talk about Nelson Mandela, a great leader who fights for the rights of the black people. When talking about a person, what adjectives can you think of to describe his or her qualities? What are the qualities you should find in a great person?
⑶ Warming up by getting to know Mandela
Before we go to read Elias’s story let’s first try to know about Nelson Mandela by reading the following short passage.
Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.
2. Pre-reading by looking and saying
Now, look at the six people in the pre-reading part. Can you recognize them? Do you think they are important people?
You may say yes, because they have done something really important to benefit the world or a country. But do you think all of them are great people?
Patterns to be used
I think/ I don’t think…; in my opinion; I’m afraid…; I agree/ don’t agree…; I
prefer…; What’s your opinion? Why do you think so? What do you think of…?
A sample dialogue
A: Do you think William Tidal is a great person?
B: Yes. I think so. He had a strong belief that all people should be able to read the Bible for themselves. So he translated and printed it into English although he was not allowed to do so. And later he died for his work.
A: Yes. I agree. William Tyndale went through a lot of struggles and difficulties and even sacrificed his life to realize his dream. He is a great person that everybody who picks up the Bible must think of. Now, let’s come to Norman Bethune. What do you think of him?
B: …
3. Skimming for main idea of each paragraph

1954—Elias was 14 and encouraged by Mandela.
5. Discussing questions in groups of four
How did the white people stop the black people from being treated fairly?
Why did Elias support Mandela?
Why did he support violence when he did not agree with it?
Suggested answers:
Through unfair laws.
There are three reasons for this.
Firstly, Mandela once helped him and he thought Mandela kind and generous. Secondly, he agreed with Mandela’s political ideas. For example, he agreed with his explanation of how the black people were not treated fairly. He also sided with him on his view of peaceful fighting.
Thirdly, he knew that what Mandela fought for was to make black and white people equal.
Because their attempt to attack the law in a peaceful way failed. They had to answer violence with violence.
6. Reading to make a diagram
Let’s go over the text once more to make a diagram of it with key words of each paragraph placed in the box.
7. Retelling the text in your own words
With the help of the diagram try to retell the story in your own words.
A retold passage of the text
Elias is a black worker in South Africa. His family was so poor that he had to drop out of school at the age of eight. Later on, he was able to work as a gold miner in Johannesburg. But as he hadn’t got a passbook which was required if one wanted to live in Johannesburg. He was worried about being dismissed. However, he was lucky enough to get some help from Nelson Mandela and managed to get the correct papers. After that, he began to know more Mandela and his political ideas. He agreed with Mandela’s views on the unfair laws against the black people and his idea about peaceful fighting. He also knew that all Mandela wanted to do was to fight for equal rights for the black people. So he supported him heart and soul.

Period 2 A sample plan for Learning about Language
(The attributive clause < where, when, why, pre. +which/ whom>)
Introduction
In this period students will be helped by the teacher first to discover useful words and expressions, and then to discover and use useful structures: The attributive clause < II> < where, when, why, pre.+which/ whom>
Objectives
To help students learn to use attributive clauses introduced by where, when, why, and prep.+ which/ whom
To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions
To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures
Procedures
Warming up by describing yourself with three words
Use three positive words that describe you. Don't use short, tall, fat, skinny, etc. Don't describe how you look. Use friendly, energetic, positive, something like that. But make sure you can back it up. If you aren't a friendly person, don't put friendly. Don't tell them you are not, but don't put it if you aren't.
Others’ answers:
ethical, empathetic and diligent; flexible, self-motivated, reliable; hardworking, ambitious and optimistic; honest, Confident, Team player
Now turn to page 36 and do exercises No. 1 and 2. Check your answers against your classmates’.
2. Reading to finding
Turn back to page 34. Read the text of ELIAS’ STORY and find out all the attributive clauses. Think over this question: On what circumstance do we use when/ where/ why to introduce an attributive clause?
For reference:
The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.
The school where I studied only tow years was three kilometers away.
This was a time when you had got to live in Beijing.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life.
We have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.
The parts of town where they lived were places decided by white people.
The places where they were sent to live were the poorest areas in South Africa.
3. Doing exercises and find out why
Turn to page 36. Do Ex.3. Then compare the following sentences and find out why we use different words to introduce the attributive clauses while the antecedents are the same.
The government building where we voted was very grand.
The government building which/ that we paid a visit to yesterday was very grand.
The government building in which we voted was very grand.
In sentence a), a relative adverb “where” is used because it refers to “in the government building” which serves as the adverbial in the attributive clause. “in which” can also be used as in sentence c) because it also means “in the government building” in the attributive clause. While in sentence b), a relative pronoun “which” is used as it refers to “the government building” which serves as the object of the predicate “visited” in the attributive clause.
Compare another three sentences:
The date when I arrived was the 5th August.
The date which/ that he told me was the 5th August.
The date on which I arrived was the 5th August.
In sentence a), a relative adverb “when” is used because it refers to “on that date” which serves as the adverbial in the attributive clause. “in which” can also be used as in sentence c) because it also means “on that date” in the attributive clause. While in sentence b), a relative pronoun “which” is used as it refers to “the date” serving as the object of the predicate “told” in the attributive clause.
Read the following sentences.
The reason why I got a job was because of my hard work.
The reason that/ which he gave for getting the job was because of his hard work.
The reason for which I got a job was because of my hard work.
In sentence a), a relative adverb “why” is used because it refers to “for this reason” which serves as the adverbial in the attributive clause. “for which” can also be used as in sentence c) because it also means “for this reason” in the attributive clause. While in sentence b), a relative pronoun “which/that” is used as it refers to “the reason” serving as the object of the predicate “gave” in the attributive clause.
4. Choosing the best answer
1. Alec asked the policeman __________ he worked to contact him whenever there was an accident. (2004上海秋季)

7. I can think of many cases __________ students obviously knew a lot of English words and expressions but couldn’t write a good essay. (2003上海秋季)
A. why B. which C. as D. where
答案和解析:
1、2两题的答案分别是C、D。第一句根据句子意思需选择介词with,从而构成work with the policeman;第二句根据句子意思需选择介词with,从而构成talk with someone。这两句句子中的关系代词作定语从句中的介词with的宾语,指人,而介词with又位于它的前面,这时就只能用whom。3题答案是C。根据句子意思需选择介词in,从而构成act in the play。关系代词在此是指play,指物,因此选择in which。注意:如果定语从句谓语动词为介词动词,那么介词必须后置,不能与动词拆开置于关系代词前面。如:It is not necessary to look up in a dictionary every word (that) we come across in our reading. The boy won’t tell us the thing (which) he is afraid of. 4题答案是B。这是一句限制性定语从句,关系副词指代in a fast food restaurant,指地点,因此选择where。5题答案是D。这里的关系副词指代on chairs,指地点,因此选择where。6题答案是A。根据句意“他使得自己处于非常危险的境况中,(在这个境况中)他可能失去对飞机的控制”,所选择的关联词应该在定语从句中作地点状语,表示in the situation。7题答案是D。定语从句的先行词cases在此意为“实例,情况”,根据从句的意思“在这些例子中(情境中)……”,先行词在从句中应该担当状语成分,表示in many cases。注意:where这个词不仅仅可以表地点,某人/物的情况、某事发展的阶段、某事的某个方面都可以用where这个关系副词来表达。如:I work in a business where almost everyone is waiting for a great success. The accident had reached to a point where both their parents were to be called in.
5. Summing up when/where/why attributive clauses
when, where, why属于关系副词,都在其引导的定语从句中充当状语,其具体用法如下:1. 关系副词 when引导定语从句(包括限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句)修饰表示时间的先行词,在定语从句中充当时间状语。例如:I still remember the day when I first met Jennifer.我仍然记得第一次见到詹妮弗的那一天。Next month, when you’ll spend your summer holidays in your hometown, is approaching. 下个月即将来临, 届时你们将在家乡度暑假。
2. 关系副词where引导定语从句(包括限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句)修饰表示地点的先行词,在定语从句中充当地点状语。例如:This is the office where he worked. 这就是他工作过的办公室。She is going to live in Macao, where she has some close friends. 她要到澳门去定居,在那里她有几个密友。3. 关系副词why引导限定性定语从句修饰先行词reason,在定语从句中充当原因状语。例如:I don’t know the reason why he came so late. 我不知道他来得那么晚的原因。That is the reason why I don’t want to go. 那就是我不想去的理由。He didn’t tell me the reason why he was so upset.他没有告诉我他为什么那样心烦意乱。注意: 关系代词与关系副词之间并非毫无关联, 两者之间存在密切的联系。在备考中尤其要注意以下几点:1. 很多情况下关系副词用“介词+which/whom”来代替,其中的介词由先行词或定语从句中谓语动词的形式来决定,例如:The day when I met the famous pop star was the greatest day of my life. = The day on which I met the famous pop star was the greatest day of my life.见到这位著名歌星的那天是我一生中最重要的日子。I shall never forget those years when I lived with her. = I shall never forget those years during which I lived with her. 我将永远不会忘记我跟她生活的那些岁月。This is a hall where the medical conference will be held. = This is a hall in which the medical conference will be held. 这是礼堂,医学会议将在此召开。2. 并非先行词表示时间或地点时都分别用when或where来引导相应的定语从句,若关系词在修饰表示时间或地点的先行词的定语从句中充当主语、宾语等而不是状语时,需用which或that引导相应的定语从句。例如:Do you still remember the days which/that we spent together in school? 你还记得我们一起在学校度过的那些日子吗?先行词the days表时间,但是其定语从句的引导词在定语从句中作宾语而不是状语,因此不能用when而应该用which或that。3. that有时可以代替定语从句中的关系副词when, where, why,且that常可以省略,例如:This is the time (when/that) he arrived. 这是他到达的时间。

Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language
(THE REST OF ELIAS’ STORY)
Introduction
Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students not only listen but also read and write in English. The most attention goes to reading and writing.
Objectives
To help the students listen about the same topic as is read in the first period
To help students read another passage about the same person covered in the first period
To help students write an imaginary letter making use of the learned words and structures
Procedures
1. Warming up by listening
We have read a story about Elias. Do you remember why it was difficult for him to get a job? Yes, you are right. He didn’t have a passbook. But what is a passbook? Why is it important?
Let’s listen to a short passage and find out. Now turn to page 38. Listen to the tape for the text.
2. Reading and copying
On page 38 you see a passage entitle THE REST OF ELIAS’ STORY. Go over it to find the sentences you can’t understand. And copy down all the useful expressions at the same time.
Useful expressions
make…afraid, escape from…, spend the hardest time, help…in one way, begin a school for…, study very little, during the lunch break, under one’s blanket, make candles, study for one’s degree, allow…to join…,stop…from…, pass the exam, get a degree, feel good about…, finish four years in prison, find a job, work in…, blow up…, lose one’s job, come to power, beg for…, take …round…, feel bad, work for…, show…over…, make …free in one’s own land
3. Acting a text dialogue
Next we are going to do a group activity. We will do it in groups of four. Suppose one of you is Elias and works as a tour guide. The other three of you are tourists who are very interested in the prison and Mandela’s life.
Tourist: How did you get to know Nelson Mandela?
Elias: It was in 1950. I was working as a miner in Johannesburg but I hadn’t a passbook to live there. So I went to Mandela’s law firm to ask for advice.
Tourist: Can you explain to me some of Nelson Mandela’s political ideas or beliefs?
Elias: Yes. He found that we black people were not treated as equally as the white people and he would fight for our rights. However, he said that we should fight in a peaceful way. Only when this was not allowed did we decide to answer violence with violence.
Tourist: How did he help you through your life?
Elias: First, he helped me to get the correct papers to stay in Johannesburg and keep my job as I mentioned above. Then he taught me to read and write when I was in prison. This is very important to me because it enables me to get more job opportunities. Later he gave me my present job.
Tourist: What was life like on Robben Island?
Elias: Miserable and cruel. The guards and soldiers treated us badly, beat us violently for no reasons and insulted us in different ways.
Tourist: How did you manage to study on Robben Island?
Elias: We studied during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words.
Tourist: What kinds of job have you ever done?
Elias: A miner, an office worker and now a tour guide.
Tourist: What do you think of your present job?
Elias: I like it very much. And I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in our own land.
4. Doing a guided writing task
⑴Preparing for writing
Imagine now Mr Mandela is in prison. If you are going to write a letter to the President of South Africa asking him to free Nelson Mandela, what would be included? Do you remember the format of a letter? What should be the main content of this letter? How would you try to persuade the president?
Now go over Life of Nelson Mandela on page 39 for any useful information.
⑵ Writing the letter
Doctor 26, 2007
The Honorable President of South Africa
Dear Mr. President:
We are writing you because we think South Africa’s policy toward Mr Mandela is not right, and that we may soon face a threat in our country more serious than any we have known since the end of last century.
Mr Mandela is a great person. He works for the equal rights of the black people. The blacks are human beings. They have the same right as the whites’ to live in this land. In your upcoming New Year’s Speech, you have an opportunity to plan a clear and determined course for meeting this threat. We ask you to seize that opportunity, and to work out a new policy that would protect the interests of the people. That policy should aim, above all, at the freedom of Mr Mandela. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary effort.
We ask you to act decisively. If you act now to end Mandela’s imprisonment, you will be acting in the most fundamental national interests of the country. If you keep him still in prison, you put our interests and our future at risk.
Sincerely,
Elliott Abrams, Richard L. Armitage, William J. Bennett

A selected English passage for recitation英文精选背诵短文
Become a hero
You may believe that you are not a hero. You may believe that your life is so mean, so low, so hopeless and full of drudgery, that you can never rise above it. But I, the Famous Adventurer of Silmaria, know differently.
This is a special web site. It can only be accessed by the few, the proud, the True Heroes. If you were not a hero, you would not be here. No matter what your station, no matter how humble your life may be, now that you have found this web site you have only to bookmark it and follow the instructions contained herein, and you will soon be showered with unimaginable glory.
But first, you must pay the price. Glory cannot be borrowed, and heroism cannot be stolen. Before you can be free to pursue that which you most secretly and passionately desire, you must be tested.
Gather your courage. And when you are ready, brave adventurer... (162 words)
Unit 5 Nelson Mandela—a modern hero
第一部分
About the topic and the structures
单元话题和结构
本单元的话题是Nelson Mandela—a modern hero, 这位南非自由斗士说过:“对我们来说, 最可怕的不是看不到自己的不足, 而是看不到自己的潜力。不要等到别人把手伸给你,你要主动把手伸给别人。未来属于那些相信自己梦想的人们。与改变自己相比, 改变世界的困难是微不足道的。不管你做什么,不要失去战斗精神。”学习本单元就是要学习曼得拉的这种不屈不饶的奋斗精神。
本单元句法项目是:定语从句(II):where, when, why, prep.+ which/ whom
单元课时划分上与课本保持一致,即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中,我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排等因素,对课本、对教学设计重新划分课时,裁剪、拼接使用教案提供的材料,以便“物尽所用”,达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照教案提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1
Reading
阅读课
Warming Up “热身”的目的是为阅读在一定程度上作好话题、词汇和结构的准备,激发学生相关的背景知识和学习兴趣。对此教案提供了“描述自己”、“谈论伟人”和“走近曼德拉”三种不同的“热身”设计供教师选用。实际操作中还需要教师动用诸如板书、投影等辅助手段,以达到最佳教学效果。
Pre-reading 部分要求学生“听图说话”,以挖掘和呈现自己对“伟人”的了解,为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。教师可以补充:伟人的品质概括一下就是优秀、善良、坚强、勇敢。
Reading是篇记叙文,记叙了Elias在蔓得拉领导下开展人权工作的历程。阅读中要抓住记叙文的五要素展开,即时间、地点、人物、事件、因果。如果把因果分开,则可称六要素。它也称"五W",即与它相对的英文词汇是时间when、地点where、人物who、事件what、因果why。它们打头的字母均为"W"。教师可以使用教案提供的篇章总结、课文图解、短语搭配罗列、复述材料等引导学生从语言形式入手,读懂文章、识记文章、活用文章。
Period 2
Learning about language
知识课
Learning about language 首先要求用三个英文单词描述自己,强化学生对本单元人物个性描述词汇的掌握;然后要求学生完成课本提供的“词法”练习。接下来我们详尽讲解了“The attributive Clause < where, when, why, pre. +which/ whom>”,教师可以酌情使用这些材料。
Period 3
Using language
运用课
Using language 首先完成课本38页的听力教学内容。 然后引导学生阅读短文。可以要求学生摘录“有用搭配/短语”。在控制性写作活动中,我们建议教师也动笔写。提供的写作答案仅供参考。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1
将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2
将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3
将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课(一)”。
Period 4
将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5
将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课(二)”。

Section 2 Notes to difficult sentences from Unit 5
Nelson Mandela—a modern hero
The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.我初次
遇到纳尔逊·曼德拉是在我一生的一个非常困难的时期。
when在句子中引导的是时间定语从句。when指时间,在定语从句中做时间状语:
(1) I still remember the day when I first came to the school.
(2) The time when we got together finally came.
2. …my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. 我的家人不能继续为我支付学费和公交费用。
[词义辨析] fee and fare
fee (职业性的咨询或服务所收)费用,报名费,会费。如:doctor’s fees/a membership fee
fare (车、船等)费用,购票所需费用。如:
*Train fares are going up again.
*Urban crowdedness would be greatly relieved if only the charges_____ on public transport were more reasonable. A) fees B) fares C) payments D) costs
译文:只要公共交通的收费更合理一些,城市的拥塞情况就可大大缓解。答案是B。
3. …we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.我们到达了一个完全没有权利的地步。
关系副词where在本句中引导的是地点定语从句。关系副词when, where, why的含义相当于"介词+ which"结构,因此常常和"介词+ which"结构交替使用,例如:
There are occasions when (on which) one must yield.任何人都有不得不屈服的时候。
Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born. 北京是我的出生地。
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer? 这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗?
…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence. 只是在那时我才决定以暴制暴。
句首出现only then,谓语部分要部分倒装。
句首为否定或半否定的词语,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until… 等。Never have I seen such a performance. Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
当Not until引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。
注意: 如否定词不在句首不倒装。I have never seen such a performance. The mother didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep.

2. 语言技能 (Skills)
听:在本单元的课文及练习册听力教学中, 能听懂人物和事件以及它们的关系,能抓住所听语段中的关键词,正确理解话语间的逻辑关系。
说:在本单元的课文及练习讨论时, 能恰当使用I think/ I don’t think/ in my opinion/That’s an excellent idea等对英雄、伟人的品质恰当地发表意见,进行讨论。
读:能在阅读中使用不同的阅读策略,迅速地从阅读材料中获取主要信息,根据上下文线索预测故事发展,根据上下文猜测词义并通过不同渠道如报刊、音像、网络等了解更多伟人的情况。
写:能用恰当的语言简单地描述人物,并简单地表达自己的意见。
学习策略(Strategy):
在听和读的训练中,学会借助情景和上下文猜测词义或推测段落大意,借助图表等非语言信息进行理解和表达。
主动制定本单元学习计划,客观评价自己的学习效果,在课内外活动中积极用英语交流,有效地使用词典、图书馆、网络等媒体资源来获得更多的有关伟人的英语信息。
情感态度和价值观(Affect and Values)
了解Nelson Mandela的生平事迹,认识伟人所应具备的优秀品质,并向他们学习,以提高自身素质,树立正确的人生观,学习他们在艰苦的环境下为人类做贡献、不追求享乐的高尚精神。同时也学会一分为二的态度客观看待事物。
二、教材内容分析(Analysis of the teaching materials)
本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊·曼德拉。故事的主题内容分成三个部分,由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉。这样的写法虽然只能反映出曼德拉的一个侧面,但读起来却更为客观可信,使学生对曼德拉有初步的了解。第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。这有别于惯常采用的直叙手法,尽可能剔除作者的主观看法,留给学生更多的思考空间,启发学生自己去思考,主动地表述对自己心目中英雄人物的看法。为了让学生完成写作任务,教科书又提供了曼德拉的生平履历表,让学生对曼德拉有了一个更完整的认识。“热身”(Warming Up)部分要求小组讨论伟人应具有的品质,并通过一组问题让学生了解彼此的特点与看法。“读前”(Pre-reading)部分提供了一些重要的历史人物,要求学生读懂每个人的基本情况,并判断他们中谁能称得上是伟大的人。“语言学习”(Learning about Language)部分突出了词汇和语法的学习与训练。本单元的语法是when, where, why, 介词+ which,介词+ whom引导的定语从句。“语言运用”(Using Language)部分中包括了听、读、写三个部分的内容,是本单元主要阅读篇章故事的延续。学生可从中了解南非黑人当时的生活状况以及他们不平等的社会地位,发现曼德拉的伟大之处。该部分提出的一些问题有利于培养学生独立思考的能力和人文精神。其中“写作”(Writing)部分是训练学生选取和组织材料,写出具有说服力的书信。练习册的写作要求学生学写有关伟人或名人的生平。“学习建议”(Learning Tip)指导学生收集、选择和分析有关名人的材料,了解人们对这些名人的评论,以学会正确地评价人物。
三、教学安排(Teaching arrangements)
Period 1: Reading I (Elias’ story +the rest of Elias’ story)
Period 2: Reading II (review +listening (sb)+language points)
Period 3: More language input (reading task (wb) + listening (wb))
Period 4: Language Practicing (grammar)
Period 5: Writing
本教学安排根据“LARA教学原则”,对教材进行大胆的删除(L – leave out)、 修补(A – Amending)、替换(R – Replace)、增添(A – Add),灵活的将教材为我所用。新教材在选材和教学活动的设计上充分考虑到学生年龄特征和他们生理和心理发展的需要;在采用话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方法的基础上,设计了“任务型”的活动;对英语语言知识和技能训练作了系统的安排,循序渐进,循环反复,有利于学生构建知识系统;注意培养创新精神,提高实践能力。但新教材也应与学生的实际相结合,我们不能全盘照搬。同时在教学过程中,为了对教学有及时的反馈和有效的改进,我们还进行了“形成性评价”,体现了学生的主体地位。
本单元的语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“当代英雄”这一中心话题设计的。我们根据本单元实际情况对教材的课时安排作了一些调整,尤其是学生用书(Student’s Book)和作业本(Workbook)有机结合。
根据本单元的教材的特点,按照任务型教学与大容量输入与输出的教学理念,整个单元的设计思路如下:输入“英雄”的概念,先是学生的自由讨论,更通过曼德拉的事迹向学生展示何为当代伟人,以及伟人所要具备的一些品质。在这基础上,第二步要学生辨别伟人与名人的不同,以及体会一分为二的辩证唯物主义。最后我们回到生活中,生活中也有不少平凡但是为了集体崇高的理想,放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的普通民众,他们也是我们心目中的英雄,伟人。由此我们从书本回归到生活,也成功升华,延伸了英雄的概念。通过学习语言点、语法还有写作,学生在内化吸收了知识后,进行了输出。
第一课时是人物传记式的阅读课,但是文章的写作角度比较特别,由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉,这样的写法比较客观可信。伊莱亚斯的故事与遭遇同时也成为本文与本课的一条贯穿总线。课文有关中心话题的有三个部分,第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。考虑到故事发展与情节展开的连续性与关联性以及课堂时间,在这个课时,把第一篇阅读短文与第三篇阅读短文整合起来完成,听力则放在第二课时。首先我们以一首英文经典歌曲 “hero”作为课前的英语氛围的营造与课内的导入,以老师问学生答的有效互动形式自由谈论他们所喜爱的hero并说明理由,提高了“说”的能力。然后是Workbook “talking”部分的四幅人物图像的呈现,以图片展示的形式激励学生用英语进行语言实践活动,然后归纳出英雄的一个模糊标准,为课文学习做好铺垫。之后正式人物曼德拉的登场,进入主题伊莱亚斯眼中的曼德拉。快速阅读部分训练学生的快速阅读能力并让学生对文章的梗概有所了解,对中心人物与背景有一定的印象。在细读过程中,根据课文的内容,问题设计以伊莱亚斯的人生发展为贯穿总线,同时以曼德拉给予他的影响为副线,环环相扣,层层递进,检查学生对文章的理解程度。在学生掌握课文内容并有了一定量的信息输入之后,给学生创造情境,让学生将所学的知识真实地运用到情境交际中,达到巩固知识与信息输出的目的。在此,依据学生的认知水平,我们设计两个不同难度系数的任务。任务1:Suppose you were Nelson Mandela or Nelson Mandela’s wife, would you like to tell us something impressive? 这里我们希望学生从伊莱亚斯外的角度来述说事情的发展过程,与文章的写作手法呼应,并巩固所学知识。任务2:四人小组活动,一个导游与三个游客之间的交流活动。相对任务1,任务2情境更加生动,更加开拓思维,能够把交际实践与阅读有机结合起来并培养了学生的合作精神。作业的布置一个是让学生在复习课文的同时找出好词好句,另一个是让他们以四人为一个小组,课外用各种媒体工具去找有关曼德拉更多的资料,也是为下节课做准备。
第二课时是第一课时阅读的巩固,延伸,升华。先通过对错问答检测对课文内容的熟悉程度,然后通过寻找好词好句来呈现词汇与表达,并通过短文填空对词汇进行运用与内化。
巩固了上一堂课的内容,进入延伸部分——一篇听力短文:伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。为了让学生进入听的状态,先为学生营造语境,由熟悉的passbook引出话题,通过问题的形式先让学生预测当时的情景,这样能激发学生用英语进行实践活动并为听力作好准备,然后再自然过渡到听力部分。这样学生在听的时候就有个心理准备,作好了铺垫。到此关于曼德拉的故事基本接近尾声,那么我们可以从中学习到什么呢?学生在这个环节进一步熟悉并巩固了课文。开放式讨论后,我们把目光从曼德拉身上投到其他伟人那里,在这里我们有选择的利用了课文pre-reading部分的四位伟人的图片,讨论四个不同领域的伟人后,思考“What qualities do you think are needed to make a great person?”至此我们总结了伟人应具备的一些品质和所拥有的共同点。那么,这些优秀品质里,你最欣赏哪些?你身边有拥有这样品质的人吗?又是怎么体现的呢?这个讨论把书本与我们的生活又结合起来,让学生明白拥有这些品质并不是伟人所特有的,通过树立正确的人生观,提高自我素质,我们也可以做的到。作业的布置是让学生收集更多伟人的事迹,复习的同时并预习好练习册里的阅读。构建知识框架,形成完整的知识系统性。
第三课时的安排是作为整个单元阅读的一个升华。在上一堂课里应用了课文Pre-reading的一部分,明白了伟人应具备的一些品质,但是我们还遗留了一个问题:是不是名人就是伟人呢?综观这个单元的素材,发现练习册中的阅读部分非常适合这个环节,因此这里我们用比尔.盖茨这个同样具有争议的人代替Pre-reading中的阿姆斯特朗,至此对Pre-reading进行了拆分,并与阅读有机组合在一起。首先老师以问题“As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?”进行过渡与引起注意。然后导入比尔.盖茨的图片,先在没有任何输入的状态下,让学生用已学的表达方式来表达他们对这个人物的看法,操练巩固 “Expressing ideas”的语言功能,其实这也是大脑风暴的热身过程。之后,依次呈现两篇基于不同立场与角度的有关比尔.盖茨文章,利用阅读技巧搜索有用信息后,形成表格进行对比,再让学生debate whether he is a great man, 这里让学生能有条理地表达个人的见解,培养他们独到的见解。老师最后总结出成为伟人的必备条件,而显然比尔.盖茨并不具备。第二环节是练习册中的 “Listening task”, 从上一环节学生对比尔.盖茨的不同看法上升到人们从不同角度看问题会产生不同的看法的理论高度。在训练听的能力的同时也锻炼辩证的思维能力。最后的环节也是本课时的高潮部分,首先以一段“感动中国”中洪战辉的事迹的影音视频进行导入,讨论他是不是感动大家,为什么?是不是符合了“great man”的定义?那么我们身边有没有类似的人呢?在这里,“great man” 的定义得到了延伸与扩展,生活中那些平凡但是为了集体崇高的理想,放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的普通民众,他们也是我们心目中的“great man”。作业是让学生写一个计划,考虑怎样才能进一步向心目中的“great man”的标准靠拢。这个作业的布置是人性化的,具有弹性的,开拓了学生的发散性思维,同时也是对学生自身品质的一次自我审查。
第四课时本课时的重点是语法定语从句的关系副词(when, where, why)和介词+关系代词。因为在第四单元已经对定语从句有了基本的了解,所以在这里我们要做的是遵循学生的认知规律,难度适中,循序渐进的进行语法的教学,加深理解,提高实际运用能力。首先以基于阅读课文的问答式引出课文中出现的四句很具有代表性的定语从句,复习了课文也引出了本单元的重点语言现象——定语从句。然后展示一个有关定语从句的Flash动画,形象生动,活跃气氛。接下来通过一组练习来同时复习一下上个单元的语法项——关系代词,起到承上启下的作用。再导入两个例句1. We were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government.2. The person to whom you should be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela.让学生观察这两个句子与其他句子的不同,并通过一组练习,让学生知道介词是怎么产生的和怎么挑选合适的介词。那么怎么解决这三个关系副词呢?根据学生的认知规律,我们设计了三个句子为一组,分别体现which----at/ in /on which----when; which----in which----where; which----for which----why 的演变过程。接下来进行有针对性的练习操练,练习的设计也是从易到难循序渐进,先是连线题,再是补充定语从句部分,最后的练习是用定语从句把两个单句组成一句话,让学生的学习能力阶梯式的加强。学习的最终目的是输出,也是应用于交际中,所以本课时的最后给学生设计了一个输出的任务——四人一组活动,应用定语从句,谈谈你生活中的五件印象最深刻的事情,人物,地点,时间等。这个活动贴近学生的生活实际,内容丰富,让学生有话可讲。作业布置:1.把最后一个活动再继续深化,编为一篇短文。2. 完成课本里大量丰富的相关练习,此时是学生巩固的最好机会。
第五课时是写作课,响应新课程对写作的重视,我们特别在本学期强调了写作的教学。在本课时中,首先通过对上一堂课作业——定语从句短文的展示,既检查了作业,又巩固了语法,也过渡到人物写作这个中心话题。整堂课是按照作文的组成部分为线索展开的,先是关注写作里词汇的处理,注重选词对文章的印象,在这里我们充分利用了练习册第70页的这篇文章填空,在两个相似词汇之间的选择,让学生明白了措辞的重要性。之后,让学生回答在本单元习得的有用词汇,通过71页的翻译句子运用这些刚学的新词汇。如果说词汇是文章的血肉,那么结构与提纲就是骨架。回到70页的这篇数学家的介绍,通过师生问答,让学生归纳出这篇文章的提纲,然后给学生机会尝试写一个介绍曼德拉的提纲。因本单元中出现信的写作,为了把书本与练习册两个写作结合起来,我们设计了如下的任务:Suppose the magazine “Global People” begins its annual activity of choosing the top ten great men in 20th century, will you write a letter to support Nelson Mandela? 这样学生既实际练习了写信,也学会怎么介绍与描述一个人。最终我们期望学生能把新学的词汇、句型与语法运用到作文里面,把整个单元的学习很好地加以输出。
补充:考虑到每个学校每个班级教学与学生的差异,我们没有对语言点进行单独备课,但是给大家准备了 “Language supermarket”,里面资料详尽,供各位老师根据教学实际情况自由选择。

Period 3: more language input
Teaching goals
Help the students learn to get information by listening, and cultivate the listening ability.
Get the students to talk about their various opinions freely in English.
Step1. Reading (WB)
T: As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?
S:
(Show some pictures of Bill Gates, his software and his company).
T: Do you know who he is?
S:
T: What else do you know about him?
S: CEO of software
T: Great, so many of you know him. He is really so famous. But is he a great man?
S1: I think Bill Gates is / is not _____________, because ________________________________.
S2:
T: You see, so you have different ideas. Let’s have a look at him in the two passages. Let’s read the passage quickly and fill in the information sheet.
INFORMATION ON BILL GATES
Job
Chief Executive Officer of a computer company
Achievements
Produced software that is used all over the world
What did he give up for his beliefs?
None
Generosity
Gave money to causes for children’s education and health
Why does he have enemies?
Other people are jealous of his success
Why attacked by the government?
They thought he was too big and too powerful and that is unfair to his competitors
T: What does the follower of Bill Gates think of him?
Why does he think Bill is great?
What about Bill’s competitor?
Why?
Please read the passage again more carefully and find out the evidence to support each point. Lets’ have a debate. The following chart may help you.
Great Man
Not a Great Man
He has his own company and software.
No one can compete with his software.
He fits his software free in every computer.
His software is not the best but used most widely.
He gives money to causes for children’s education and health.
He tries hard to stop others making better software so that he may be a computer bully.
(T can ask Ss to finish the chart first, and then ask them to give a short report to tell us the reason why Bill Gates is a great man or why not.)
T: Thank you for your excellent report. In a word, a great man should be the one who has followed his/her ideas and sacrificed something so that they could be realized. If he/she has not gone through struggles and difficulties for their noble cause, they can’t be called a great person. From your report, we find that different people have different ideas, not only on this affair, but also on some common things in our daily life. Here is the same example which happened in our listening text.
Step 2. Listening (WB)
(Show Ss a picture of an accident)
T: What happened in the picture? If you witness the accident, what will you do?
Ss: Call 120. / Tell policeman the truth. / …
T: If the policeman asks you to describe what you have witnessed, what will you say?
S1: …
T: What’s your point of view?
S2: …
T: You see, on this accident, you two have different views. Usually, after an accident, the police will not just ask one person. Can you guess why? What about listening to the tape to find out the reason?
(Ask the Ss to listen to the tape.)
T: So why will the police not just ask one person?
S: …
T: Instead, what will the police do?
S: He will ask everyone present.
T: But sometimes, people will tell different stories after an accident, just as what you did just now. Do you know why? So listen to the tape again and find out the answers to these two questions:
Q1: Why will people tell different stories after an accident?
Q2: What does “a point of view” mean?
(Check the answers.)
T: You see, when you look at people or things, you may have a different point of view from others. On this accident, two people have different points of views. Please listen to the tape once again, and take some notes of the information on the accident by person A and person B.
(Check the answers of exercise 2.)
T: So why did the two speakers have different ideas about the cause of the accident?
S: …
T: After you get the information, who do you think caused the accident? Why?
S: …
T: What conclusion can you draw after the reading and the listening?
S:
T: So next time when you look at one event, will you just look on one side?
Standing on different fields will give you totally different views. So please don’t just judge an event from one side. Just like the topic we talked in this unit – great men. In this unit, we talked a lot about great men, and most of them are famous people. What about ordinary people? Are they just ordinary? Can they become great men?
Step 3. Further discussion
(Show a short video of “Move China”)
T: Do you know him? Is he as ordinary as us? But is he a great man? Why?
(T can ask Ss to discuss some detailed questions and then show their ideas.)
1) Who is he? What happened to him?
2) Do you think he is a great man? Why do you think so?
(Ss may give a conclusion: he is really a great person. T can get Ss into a heated discussion, and let
them have a free talk.)
1) Can you list any other ordinary people who you think they are great?
2) Are there any teachers you admire a lot? Why?
3) And what about your friends? Your schoolmates?
T: Important people may be great. But when we think about a person or a situation in different respects, maybe we can open another window. We can describe a person we think is a great person because of what this person does for the community and others. Judging from these flashing qualities, they are loved and admired by the people around them. They are the great people in our heart.
Step 4. Homework
If we ordinary people can become great ones, will you want to be a great one? If so, how to be a
great person? Can you write your plan to reach the great goal?

Period 4: Language Practicing
Teaching goals
To discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.
To learn Attributive Clauses part2 (where, when, why, prep. +which /whom)
Step 1 Lead-in
(By asking Ss some Qs about Elias, then lead in some attributive clauses in the reading text. Get Ss to learn the grammar from their book.)
T: In Elias’s story, Nelson Mandela acted an important role in his life, and a lot of things greatly changed because of him. So there are many unforgettable experiences in Elias’s mind. Suppose you are /were Elias, can you tell us some of your impressive experiences?
Ss: Yes/Ok
T:
Q1: When did you first meet Nelson Mandela?
S1: I met Nelson Mandela in a very difficult period of my life.
T: So you mean the time when you first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of your life. (Copy the sentence on the blackboard)
Q2: Where was the school you studied?
S2:The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers away.
Q3: When was the day Nelson Mandela told you what to do and helped you?
S3: The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life.
Q4: Where were the parts you blacks lived?
S4: The parts of town where we lived were the places decided by white people.
The time when you first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of your life.
The school where i studied only two years was three kilometers away.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life.
The parts of town where we lived were the places decided by white people.
Step 2 Grammar review
T: Now please look at these sentences. The words underlined are all modified by sentences. Do you still remember what we call these kinds of clauses?
Ss: Attributive clause.
T: Yeah, the attributive clauses are very useful in our expression.
(Show a short flash of the dialogue between a couple)
Now let’s review some together. Will you fill in the proper words?
Ex1:
Is he the man who/that wants to see you?
He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.
They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.
The package (which / that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.
T: What do we call the words which you filled in just now?。
S: Relative pronoun. T: What are they?
Relative pronoun :who, whom, whose, that, which等。
Step 3 Grammar learning
T: Besides these words and sentences, we find another language using in our text.
We were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government.
The person to whom you should be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela
T: What’s the differences between these two and others?
S: We have a preposition before the relative pronoun.
T: But where is the preposition from?
Let’s observe the following sentences!
Ex2:
1. The speed at which light travels is 300000km per second.(由先行词的习惯搭配决定)
at the speed of
2. This is the teacher from whom I borrow the book. (borrow from)(动词词组)
3. Don’t bring the children to see the animals of which they are afraid. (be afraid of)
关系代词whom, which前介词的选择由先行词的习惯搭配或后半句动词的搭配而决定。
Ex3
关系副词:when, where, why.
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间,地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语,相当于“介词+which”结构,经常交替使用。
Step 4 Grammar practice
Ex1: Elias has had some problems with his messages for his friends. Can you help him form sentences with the following words and phrases. Match them please.
Ex2: Now will you complete these sentences using an attributive clause with when, where or why?
That was the reason why I had to go hospital for so long and I could not go on my holiday to Britain.
Mary Brown moved to a place where she was close to the sea, so she could go swimming every day.
This was the time when the harvest failed three years in a row, and everyone was cold and hungry.
It was the year when the electricity failed and everybody had to cook their dinner by candlelight.
I went back to the town which I left when I was five years old, so I could see the house where I used to live.
He will never forget the park where he first met his wife.
EX3: Join two simple sentences to make a complex sentence with an attributive clause.
T: Just now, we used the words when, why, where, which, who to fill in the blankets. Now would you combine the two sentences by using the attributive clause?
Eg: Wang An moved to the US from Shanghai in 1945. He was born in Shanghai.
Wang An moved from Shanghai, where he was born, to the US in 1945.
Harvard is a world-famous university where/from which Wang An got his doctor’s degree.
He arrived in America in 1945 as a young man who had lost most of his family during the Anti-Japanese war.
3 Wang An spent 3years in Harvard University where/ in which he studied applied physics.
4. In 1951 Dr Wang founded his own company where/ in which computers were made.
5. He became a very successful entrepreneur in the US in 1985, when he made $3 billion.
6. Dr Wang died in 1990 when IT was developing rapidly all over the world.
7. This is Dr Wang to whom the computer belonged.
Step 5 Language production
T: Dr Wang made great achievements during his life. Some time, places and events mean a lot to him. They are his unforgettable experiences. And what about you? Do you have some great moments and places to remember? Now think about the most five important things in your life. and share them with your partners. Let’s work in four.
Top five in your life
Eg: Linhai is a beautiful city where I was born.
I was born in 1985 when my sisster was five years old.
I will never forget the day when….
Step 6 Homework
1. Make what you discussed into a short passage by using the attributive clause.

Period 5: Writing
Teaching goals
Deal with the knowledge learned and the writing part
Teach the students how to write a persuading letter.
Step 1. Lead in
T: Hello, everyone. Now I am very eager to know the top five things in your life. Would you like to share them with me? Others please pay attention to the attributive clauses in his report.
Ss: …
T: Well done, how many attributive clauses are used in the report?
Ss:
T: Just as you see, with this structure, the sentences you made will become more vivid and beautiful. And from what he told you just now, class, what kind person our speaker is?
Ss: Brave, honest…
T: But is it enough to describe one person in this way? What else is needed?
Ss: (Get into a discussion)
Step 2. Using words and expressions
T: Good ideas. Would you like to know more? Now here’s a good example. Let’s turn to Page 70. First go through the text quickly. Who can tell me what the passage talks about?
S: It’s about a mathematician named Charles Babbage.
T: Now choose the words or expressions from the brackets to complete the passage.
(Leave Ss 2minutes to finish the passage.)
T: You can find the words are similar to each other. So as a good writer, he may vary words to express something better. So picking of proper words is very important. And have you stored some good words or phrases from our text?
Ss: ...
T: But can you use them out in your writing? Let’s have a try.Here we’ve got some, and please choose some of them to translate my sentences. ( Page 71)
(as a matter of fact; in trouble; out of work; come to power; advise; lose heart; be sentenced to; willing; set up; continue).
T: Please always remember: words and phrases are the bricks of the house or the muscles and blood of the body. So collecting more words is a way to write a beautiful passage. Besides the muscles and blood, but what about the bones of the article?
Step3. Make an outline for structure
T: Let’s go back to the passage. Can you give me more information about the mathematician? Like when and where was he born? What happened in his childhood? And what happened later? …
Ss: …
T: Yes, in paragraph one, it writes about his personal information. And what happened in paragraph two? What other information does it mention?
Ss: …
T: In paragraph two, it tells us his hard work and achievements. Why do we say he worked hard? What were his achievements? Did he suffer a lot or meet with some problems? What do people think of him? Why?
Ss: …
T: So in conclusion, this passage can be divided into two parts. They are:
Paragraph 1: Personal information
Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements
T: That’s the brief outline of this passage, and can we add something more about it?
S: (Get into a discussion and report their ideas)
T: Generally speaking, when we write a passage about a person, maybe we’d better write about his qualities in the passage and we can also show our opinion of the hero. So can you write an outline of a passage about a great person?
(Leave several minutes to the Ss to make an outline, and let them exchange their ideas freely)
T: According to your arrangement, your outline may be like this:
Paragraph 1: Personal information
Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements
Paragraph 3: His / Her good qualities
Paragraph 4: Your opinion
T: Here you have a chance to practice how to write a passage about a person. Would you write a passage about Nelson Mandela according to what we have discussed?
(Leave 5minutes for Ss to draw an outline and collect more information in the whole unit)
Step4. Writing
T: Have you finished? Suppose the magazine “Global People” begins its annual activity of choosing the top ten great men in 20th century. Will you write a letter to support Nelson Mandela?
Before we begin, here are two questions:
Do you still remember the format of a letter?
How can you persuade people or judges to follow your advice?
(Get the Ss into discussion)
T: Here some proper tips for you:
Step1. Collect your ideas for the letters. Write them down in any order. Then sort them out into an order which seems good to you. For example: time order, we can have a reference on Page39.
Step2. Begin the letter with your address and the date.

Lyrics of Hero
There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraidOf what you areThere's an answerIf you reach into your soulAnd the sorrow that you knowWill melt away And then a hero comes alongWith the strength to carry onAnd you cast your fears asideAnd you know you can surviveSo when you feel like hope is goneLook inside you and be strongAnd you'll finally see the truthThat a hero lies in you It's a long roadWhen you face the world aloneNo one reaches out a handFor you to holdYou can find loveIf you search within yourselfAnd the emptiness you felt will disappear And then a hero comes alongWith the strength to carry onAnd you cast your fears asideAnd you know you can surviveSo when you feel like hope is goneLook inside you and be strongAnd you'll finally see the truthThat a hero lies in you Lord knows...Dreams are hard to followBut don't let anyoneTear them away Hold onThere will be tomorrow In time you'll find the away And then a hero comes alongWith the strength to carry onAnd you cast your fears asideAnd you know you can surviveSo when you feel like hope is goneLook inside you and be strongAnd you'll finally see the truthThat a hero lies in youThat a hero lies in you...That a hero lies in you...

3.William Tyndale
William Tyndale believed that the Bible should be able to be read by everyone.At that time Christianity was the religion of England but the Bible was only read and understood by priests and religious people.It was written in several different ancient languages and there was no version in English.William Tyndale made it his life's work to translate the Bible into easily readable English for the people of his time.He had to learn to read ancient Greek and Hebrew to be able to do this.But there were many people who did not like the idea that just anybody should be able to read the Bible.The priests and some religious people thought it meant they would have less power so they tried to stop him.He had many adventures and once even lost all his translations.He had taken a ship to England and there was such a bad storm that the books had to be thrown into the sea.So he had to start all over again.But he did not give up.He was a generous scholar and gave his work to others who were also trying to translate the Bible.He hoped that in this way the project could be finished earlier.At last he was caught and put to death for his beliefs.After his death the Bible was published in English and more than 80% of it was the work of William Tyndale.The language is very beautiful and many sayings and expressions that are used in England today come from it.It is a very important text.There are some phrases from it at the end of the guidance for this unit.
4.Mahatma Gandhi
His ideas were used by Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr as a way of drawing attention to their cause and getting sympathy from people around the world.His importance comes from the moral force of his ideas because he does not suggest that people should return violence with violence.His campaigns against the passbooks for Indians in South Africa, the salt tax, the import of cotton clothes from England and the continuation of British rule in India were all based on the principle of non-violence.They were very successful and the Indians have been independent from Britain since 1947.

8.Bill Gates
Family and Early Childhood
On October 28, 1955, shortly after 9:00 p.m., William Henry Gates III was born. He was born into a family with a rich history in business, politics, and community service. His great-grandfather had been a state legislator and mayor, his grandfather was the vice president of a national bank, and his father was a prominent lawyer. [Wallace, 1992, p. 8-9] Early on in life, it was apparent that Bill Gates inherited the ambition, intelligence, and competitive spirit that had helped his progenitors rise to the top in their chosen professions. In elementary school he quickly surpassed all of his peer's abilities in nearly all subjects, especially math and science. His parents recognized his intelligence and decided to enroll him in Lakeside, a private school known for its intense academic environment. This decision had far reaching effects on Bill Gates's life. For at Lakeside, Bill Gates was first introduced to computers.
The Birth of Microsoft
In December of 1974, Allen was on his way to visit Gates when along the way he stopped to browse the current magazines. What he saw changed his and Bill Gates's lives forever. On the cover of Popular Electronics was a picture of the Altair 8080 and the headline "World's First Microcomputer Kit to Rival Commercial Models." He bought the issue and rushed over to Gates's dorm room. They both recognized this as their big opportunity. The two knew that the home computer market was about to explode and that someone would need to make software for the new machines.

So one day Jasmine’s mom said to her, “We won’t have stories anymore because you spend too much time bathing.

A few days later, Jasmine’s mom told her, “If you stay in the bathtub (浴缸) too long you’re going to turn into a fish.” That didn’t sound bad to Jasmine. She thought that turning into a fish would be great because being a fish could stay in the water all the time.

People often joke that when a person has bad handwriting he must be a doctor. Handwriting is still an important part of our everyday life. We may spend a lot of time typing on a computer for work and less time writing things down, but it doesn’t mean we should forget the basic skills. The following may be useful for you to help a child develop great handwriting skills.
Writing paper is very important. Since children are discovering which way the letters shape and bend (弯曲) you need to give them enough room to experiment. Constricting their writing space will cause them to develop skills that won’t be helpful.
Spacing between letters is a must. Before they learn to read words they see how letters of the alphabet (字母表) are placed. There is a space between each letter, not a large space but enough to show that it’s being reserved (保留). When they begin to write you can suggest that they lay their finger between the letter they have written and the letter they are going to write.
Express praise for any effort and correct with loving kindness. When children are trying things for the first time they want to succeed. They see their parents skillfully cooking and driving and to them, you are the master, and they want to be masters, too. Help them correct their own writing as well; don’t do it for them or they will expect it each time. Pretty soon you will have little hand written notes with backwards letters covering your refrigerator.
Find some handwriting worksheets (活页练习题) so it becomes more fun to learn how to write. School can offer that kind of lesson. Give them something interesting to do with their handwriting skills. It will help them develop more confidence. And remember that learning takes time. Try to make them learn something while they are learning to write, and you will get unexpected results sometime later.
46. According to the first paragraph, the author believes that ____.
A. handwriting should be replaced by typing
B. handwriting should be taken seriously
C. people spend too much time practicing handwriting
D. most jobs require that people have good handwriting skills
47. What does the underlined word “constricting” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Teaching sth carefully.
B. Showing sth more clearly.
C. Throwing sth secretly.
D. Making sth narrower.
48. According to the passage, spacing between letters ____.
A. is useless for writing well
B. should be as large as possible
C. should be kept in a certain size
D. is difficult for children to know
49. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that when learning to write children ____.
A. need to be encouraged by their parents
B. need their parents to write for them
C. shouldn’t be corrected often
D. should often experience failure
50. We can learn from the passage that while learning handwriting, children ____.
A. could also develop other helpful skills
B. often lose their confidence easily
C. dislike learning it at school
D. should be given as much praise as possible

As the environment and green topics are at the forefront of many business concerns today, more businesses are looking for ways they can reduce their negative effect on the environment and increase environmental awareness (意识). Some businesses cut down on the amount of paper they use and wastage they create, but there are more ways in which a business can be green. Many businesses do this by using web conferencing.
Web conferencing is an easy and effective way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. With web conferencing all participants (与会者) attend the conference from the comfort of their own desk. When the conference is ready to begin all participants can sit in front of their computers and they will be connected to the Internet.
Clearly, in doing this no fuel (燃料) is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work time is taken up in attending a conference.
Any material to be used during the web conferencing is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. Participants can then either choose to print out the material or read it on the screen. This not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing costs for the business.
As a conference hall or business centre isn’t being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power that is used by the participants’ personal computers. Similarly conference organizers don’t have to arrange food or overnight accommodation (住宿) for participants of their conferences. All these mean that less energy is used.
Often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative effect on the environment. And web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you’re willing to work hard for the green cause.
So any business that is going to improve its green initiatives (新方案) and is proactive in reducing its negative effect on the environment should consider that web conferencing is a highly positive and beneficial step towards achieving this.
51. According to the passage, many companies use web conferencing because they ____.
A. are interested in using the new technology
B. think web conferencing is more convenient
C. want to do something to protect the environment
D. don’t have enough money to hold a traditional
conference
52. The participants of a web conference ____.
A. will be e-mailed an invitation before the conference
B. are required to sit in an office together
C. will receive a great many paper materials
D. have to own computers connected to the Internet
53. Using web conferencing has the following advantages EXCEPT ____.
A. saving paper
B. increasing working time
C. cutting down on fuel
D. using less energy
54. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It is important for a company to take the green cause into consideration.
B. Web conferencing is a popular way all over the world.
C. A company will lose friends in its business without web conferencing.
D. A company must learn to protect the environment before doing business.
55. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways for businesses to be greener.
B. How to be greener with web conferencing.
C. Advantages of protecting the environment.
D. Ways to reduce wastage in businesses.

I felt upset the other day. The weather was cloudy and rainy, and I just didn’t feel good.
As I was sitting at my desk, I remembered it was the birthday of a friend — a single and middle-aged woman who has devoted herself to nursing for 30 years.
Knowing that she doesn’t have any family in town, I decided to give her a call. Sure enough, she was busy and didn’t have time. She was happy that I called.
After I hung up, I couldn’t shake the feeling that she would really appreciate a little attention on her special day. Still feeling a little upset, I tried to put it out of my mind, but as the day passed I couldn’t shake the thought. I finally gave in, and set off to the hospital with a card, a cake, and a flower that evening. My friend’s grateful smile and joyful face showed me that I’d done the right thing.
When I got home, I realized that not only had I cheered up a lonely friend on her birthday, but my own upset feelings had also disappeared.

As everybody knows, we are living a more wonderful life than thirty years ago, which we couldn’t imagine then. In the past, we went to school by bike or by bus, but at present some families even own private cars in which parents can take their children to school every day. Few people had cell- phones before; however, most people today, including some children in primary schools, have cellphones, which is convenient for people to keep in touch with each other. Thirty years ago, we even didn’t hear about the Internet, but now thanks to the Internet, we can know nearly everything happening in the world. Though thousands of kilometers away, we can see our friends and talk with them through MSN or QQ. Without the development of our great country, we couldn’t live such a happy life.
读写任务
It was a rainy day. The author cheered up her close friend, a single woman alone in town on her birthday, which in turn made herself cheerful and spend a happy evening.
In fact, cheering up people on their birthdays isn’t the only thing we can do to make them happy. Life presents us with opportunities to take a step or do a kind deed that will make a difference to someone. And the wonderful thing is that when we help others, it can also make us happy. It’s really true that kindness not only blesses those who receive it, but also those who give it.
In my opinion, we should make showing kindness a habit and spread kindness in our daily lives. No matter how small an act of kindness is, it has good results, which are kind not only to others but also to ourselves.
Writing Bar
Dear Li Lei,
I am writing to you because I think I have something really serious to communicate with you. I noticed that recently you often went to the Internet Bar and the Game Center together with several friends. In order to play with your friends, sometimes you even didn’t have classes. Being one of your best friends, I’m very worried about you. Friends play an important part in one’s life, so we have to choose our friends carefully, and real friends will never ask us to do things which will not be good for us. I don’t think the friends around you are your real friends.
It’s time for you to think about the problem I mentioned above. And I hope you will make a wise decision soon.
Yours,
Wang Wei

I asked the gentleman if I could be of 47 to him. “We’re going to the 48 place. I can help you.” He then said, “This silly thing doesn’t pay attention to what I’m telling it to do!!” I replied, “Yeah, it can be very 49 to deal with sometimes.” By this time, the fear on people’s faces had turned to a look of 50 as if to say, “Why is he talking to the crazy guy?! He must be equally as 51 !”
During our 52 , he gradually calmed down. I noticed that people’s eyes became bigger. The girl who was reading 53 and smiled. The couple looked in amazement. And what happened next 54 me. The couple joined me in guiding him down the bus at our stop!
To this day, I 55 don’t know what caused everyone to go from fear to confusion to amazement. Whatever it was, it was truly powerful!

A 难度:★
After we moved into our new house, my wife and I did a lot with what we had to work with and called our yard “rock garden”. We planted some flowers, just to bring some color to the area.
Last summer I found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I didn’t plant it and Denise said that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could recognize what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It had a tall stalk (茎) with only one head on it. I decided to baby it and weed (除杂草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower didn’t start where I saw the stalk began. It actually began under a big rock and grew under and around it to receive sunlight.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we have the ability (能力) to do the same thing too. Once we try our best to fight against difficulties in the way, we get closer to our goals. So fight against difficulties bravely!
We need to believe in ourselves, knowing we have the ability. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get rid of the obstacle (障碍) because it believed it would succeed. Stand tall and straight like the sunflower, and you will find a way to reach your goal!
56. The writer couldn’t recognize the plant he found because ____.
A. he had never seen sunflowers before
B. it was too small to be recognized
C. he had little knowledge of plants
D. his wife planted it in the garden
57. Which of the following pictures can describe how the sunflower grew?
58. The lesson we learn from the sunflower is that we should ____.
A. fight against difficulties
B. have our own goals in life
C. grow flowers in good places
D. plant sunflowers in the garden
59. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly advises us to ____.
A. keep trying hard B. believe in ourselves
C. stand tall and straight D. fight against obstacles

I just realized that children are dogs — loyal and docile (易控制的). When your child is little, you feed it, train it, and it will be happy when you walk it. When you call it, it runs to you quickly and happily.
Then around age 13, your puppy turns into a cat. When you tell it to get inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering why it must listen to you. So, instead of getting in, it stays outside. When you reach out to feel its head, it twists (转动) away from you, and then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before. It seems so far from you. It won’t go on family outings. Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps away. The more you go toward it, the farther it moves away. You, not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be wrong with it. Everything that worked before now produces the opposite (对立面) of the desired result.
Instead of continuing to play the part of a dog owner, you must learn to behave like a cat owner. Put a dish of food there, and let it be. Never keep asking “what’s wrong with you?”
Your cat needs time to think about things itself. Leave it some space for its own. But remember that it needs your help and your love too. It will turn to you when it is in trouble. Be there to open the door for it.
One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “You’ve been on your feet all day. Let me get the dishes for you.” Then you’ll realize that your cat becomes a dog again.

D 难度:★★★★
One of my longest-running battles (战役) with my kids is about manners specifically about whether it’s necessary to send hand-written thank-you notes for gifts. I say yes. I told my children it was a must so they have continued throughout their teens to write the notes, but they always grumble (发牢骚) that I’m out of step with the times.
If a BabyCenter’s survey is a guide, I’m not alone. A surprisingly large number of parents still insist (坚持) that their children practice some old-fashioned manners such as putting pen to paper to say thank you, addressing adults as “Mr, Mrs or Miss” and treating adults with respect.
Among the reasons, the one provided most often by parents, according to BabyCenter’s report, is that they see so many badly-behaved kids around them that they’re determined to raise their children differently, and meanwhile, many parents agree that “the world is a more free-wheeling place, and they want to give their kids a stronger moral compass (道德的罗盘) to guide them”.
This creates a particular challenge for parents who work outside home for the reason that they have to find a sitter, nanny or other child-care providers who will insist on the manners they consider most important but the fact is that it is very difficult to find the right person.
Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude, demanding boy. Perri Klass wrote, “I do pass judgment” on kids with bad manners “and so do other pediatricians (儿科医生) who do the same work as me” since rude kids make them wonder whether the kids’ families are moral. The whole “manners” concept (观念) might seem a bit old-fashioned, she says, until you accept it as a hot-button child-development problem.
68. What do the author’s children think of writing thank-you notes?
A. Interesting. B. Old-fashioned.
C. Necessary. D. Tiring.
69. From the second paragraph we know that ____.
A. sending thank-you notes for gifts is unnecessary
B. BabyCenter is an organization which sells books
C. many parents hold the same opinion as the author
D. it is the author that did the survey on the Internet
70. What made the parents pay attention to their children’s manners?
A. The latest fashion.
B. The author’s suggestion.
C. BabyCenter’s new survey.
D. Some children’s bad behavior.
71. It can be inferred from the text that ____.
A. Dr Klass is impressed badly by some parents
B. Dr Klass cares little about children’s manners
C. Dr Klass is a doctor who treats child patients
D. Dr Klass often writes articles for newspapers

People often joke that when a person has bad handwriting he must be a doctor. Handwriting is still an important part of our everyday life. We may spend a lot of time typing on a computer for work and less time writing things down, but it doesn’t mean we should forget the basic skills. The following may be useful for you to help a child develop great handwriting skills.
Writing paper is very important. Since children are discovering which way the letters shape and bend (弯曲) you need to give them enough room to experiment. Constricting their writing space will cause them to develop skills that won’t be helpful.
Spacing between letters is a must. Before they learn to read words they see how letters of the alphabet (字母表) are placed. There is a space between each letter, not a large space but enough to show that it’s being reserved (保留). When they begin to write you can suggest that they lay their finger between the letter they have written and the letter they are going to write.
Express praise for any effort and correct with loving kindness. When children are trying things for the first time they want to succeed. They see their parents skillfully cooking and driving and to them, you are the master, and they want to be masters, too. Help them correct their own writing as well; don’t do it for them or they will expect it each time.
Find some handwriting worksheets (活页练习题) so it becomes more fun to learn how to write. School can offer that kind of lesson. Give them something interesting to do with their handwriting skills. It will help them develop more confidence. And remember that learning takes time. Try to make them learn something while they are learning to write, and you will get unexpected results sometime later.
72. According to the first paragraph, the author believes that ____.
A. handwriting should be replaced by typing
B. handwriting should be taken seriously
C. people spend too much time practicing handwriting
D. most jobs require that people have good handwriting skills
73. What does the underlined word “constricting” in
Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Teaching sth carefully.
B. Showing sth more clearly.
C. Throwing sth secretly.
D. Making sth narrower.
74. According to the passage, spacing between letters ____.
A. is useless for writing well
B. should be as large as possible
C. should be kept in a certain size
D. is difficult for children to know
75. We can learn from the passage that while learning handwriting, children ____.
A. could also develop other helpful skills
B. often lose their confidence easily
C. dislike learning it at school
D. should be given as much praise as possible

Great Changes in Our Lifestyle
As everybody knows, we are living a more wonderful life than ten years ago, which we couldn’t imagine then.
In my childhood, we could go to school by bike or by bus, but at present some families even own private cars which can take their children to school every day. Few people had cell phones before; however, most people today, including some children in primary schools have cell phones, which is convenient for people to keep in touch with each other. Ten years ago, we even didn’t hear about the Internet, but now thanks to the Internet, we can know nearly everything happening in the world. Though thousands of kilometers away, I can see my friends and talk with them through MSN or QQ.
In short, there are great changes in our lifestyle. Without the development of our great country, we couldn’t live such a happy life.
21. D。考查情景交际。当对方安排好一切,回答时要用表示感谢或赞同的话。故选D项。
22. D。考查冠词。idea此处为泛指,且以元音音素开头,因此此处填an;saving plan 为特指,故此处填the。综上所述,可知正确答案为D。
23. D。考查动词辨析。attack意为“进攻”;bury意为“埋葬”;ignore意为“忽视”;damage意为“损害;损坏”。根据句意“桥被暴风雨损坏了,所以他们不得不乘船过河。”可知正确答案为D。
24. C。考查形容词辨析。从“年轻人把所有的食物都装进他的包,没留任何东西给其他人”可知他是“自私的”。故要用selfish。reliable意为“可靠的”;stubborn意为“固执的”;generous意为“慷慨的”均不符合题意。
25. A。考查短语辨析。in reward 意为“作为报答”;in turn意为“轮流”;in fact意为“实际上”;in charge意为“主管”,本句为“Paul帮助我完成了这个工作,所以我想请他去KTV作为报答。”
26. B。考查现在进行时表将来。从第二句中的“I’ll come back in two months.”可知说话者现在还没有去,因此“去青岛”这一动作发生在将来。只有用“are you leaving”进行时态表将来。故该题的正确答案为B。
27. A。考查determine 的用法。determine表示“决定或已决定”是一时性的动作,分别用其一般式或完成式。若表示决定后而具有决心,即处于下了决心的状态,就要用be determined。本题句意为:——你们准备好比赛了吗?——是的,我们决心击败其他队并赢得冠军。故正确答案为A。
28. A。考查短语辩析。 a number of 许多,大量后接可数名词;the number of ... 的数量;C、D均只可修饰不可数名词,故答案为A。
29. B。考查定语从句。先行词是a man,且空格前面有介词from,因此只能用whom来引导定语从句。故该题的正确答案为B。
30. D。考查副词辨析。normally意为“正常情况下;通常”,该句的意思为“当我们想到旅游时,通常我们会想到参观名胜、去其他国家等。”故该题的正确答案为D。
31. C。考查名词辨析。从后面的“从不放弃梦想”可知要采取积极的态度。所以此处要用attitude。quality意为“品质”;expression意为“表达”;principle意为“原则”均不符合题意。
32. B。考查短语辨析。根据句意“这两个孩子不知道如何救这只受伤的鸟,不过他们知道应该向谁求助。”选择turn to“转向;求助”;turn on“打开(电器)”;turn off“关掉”;turn down“拒绝”。
33. C。考查“be+形容词化的过去分词”。be devoted to sb意为“对某人忠诚”。
34. B。考查时态。后一句隐藏的时间状语是at the time,指过去发生的动作。
35. D。考查非限制性定语从句。我们公司在将来会变得更加强大,这使一些其他的公司感觉有压力。which指代前面整个句子的内容。故正确答案为D。

63. C。主旨大意题。本文介绍了美国几个著名的旅游城市,故C项最能概括全文。
【文章大意】在本文中,作者站在家长的角度,将年幼的孩子看成是可爱的小狗,当“小狗”长到十几岁就不那么听话、乖巧了,孩子进入青春期会有一些叛逆行为,同时,作者告诉家长们,要爱护孩子,给他们时间去自己思考,孩子总有一天会长大,那时候他们又变成听话懂事的小狗了。
64. D。推理判断题。本文是从家长的角度写的,是写给家长的。
65. A。推理判断题。根据第二段“When you tell it to get inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering why it must listen to you. ... When you reach out to feel its head, it twists away from you, and then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before.”可以看出,十几岁的孩子不理解家长的做法。
66. D。推理判断题。根据作者在第二段中的描述“Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps away. The more you go toward it, the farther it moves away.”,我们可以看出,当孩子长到十几岁,他们的行为与父母的期望就大不一样了。
67. B。推理判断题。从第三段的建议可以看出,作者认为家长们应该给孩子充分的时间与空间而不是一味地追问,应该多理解孩子一些。
【文章大意】 教孩子懂礼貌就像一场长期的战斗。好多礼貌行为现在看来似乎已经“过时”了,但是教会孩子懂礼貌还是很必要的。

71. C。推理判断题。根据第五段“Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude, demanding boy ...”可推知,是孩子(而不是家长)的不良举止给Perri Klass 留下了很不好的印象;Perri Klass很在乎孩子是不是懂礼貌,否则她不会就这件事给《纽约时报》写文章;但仅从她给《纽约时报》写过文章一事无法推知她是否经常给报纸写文章;根据第五段“... and so do other pediatricians who do the same work as me”可推知,Perri Klass是一位儿科医生,她的工作是给儿童看病。

??? Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
??? Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
??? Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become desert more easily.
41. Deserts ________ .
?????A. never have any plants or animals in them
?????B. can all be turned into good land before long

?????D. get very little rain

??? In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal,you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
??? People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be:Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
45. The passage mainly talks about ________ .
?????A. how to keep disease from pets
?????B. pets in Canada
?????C. how to take good care of pets

C
???Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
48. The early language had ________.
A. a lot of problems B. words and easy grammar
C. words but no grammar D. grammar but not many words
49. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to _____.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” that is being friendly.But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
44. When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he .
A. feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
B. feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
C. thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D. is sorry that his friends let him down
45. When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!” he is saying that .
A. the speaker is just friendly
B. this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
C. the word “dog” should not be used to apply to people
D. sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious
46. This passage tries to tell you how to .
A. avoid mistakes about money and friends
B. get an idea of friendly people
C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D. keep people friendly without trusting them
47. The writer suggests that should be trusted.
A. everybody B. nobody C. all the people D. not all the people

9 Lansdowne Road
Chichester PO236PX
Saturday
Dear John,
I got your letter yesterday. Yes, of course you can come and stay next week. I didn’t realize your company was in this area. Actually, it’s lucky that I shall be here, because I have to go away on business myself on Monday — but I shall be back by the time you come. What time will you be arriving? Anyway, I’ll leave a key with my next-door neighbour (at Number 21) just in case you get here before I do.
I’d better give you some directions as to how to get here. When you get to the town, follow the main road as far as the first set of traffic lights and then turn right. Turn left at the next crossing. At the end of this road there’s a roundabout. Go straight across, and Lansdowne Road is the second on the right.
By the way, I hope you won’t mind sleeping on the camp-bed. I’m afraid there isn’t a spare (空闲的) bed, but it’s quite solid, so you should be comfortable enough! I nearly forgot to mention the most important thing — could you bring a sleeping bag?
Well, I must go now — I’ve got to go and collect the car from the garage. I was out in the middle of nowhere yesterday, when it broke down for no clear reason. I had to walk miles before I found a phone-box and finally asked a garage to send someone out to give me a tow(拖走).
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
Yours,
Mike

A. Monday B. Tuesday C. Saturday D. Thursday

B. he can wait for Mike
C. he can ask Mike’s next-door neighbor for the key
D. he can ask the landlady for the key
50. The underlined phrase “broke down” most probably means “_______”.

第四节: 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,共15分)
World champion U.S. figure skater Michelle Kwan convinced (使确信/信服) a five-member monitoring committee this weekend that she is well enough to compete in the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy, in February.
This will be Kwan’s third attempt to win an Olympic contest. She has five world and nine U.S. titles. An Olympic medal escaped her in 1998 and 2002.
She was unable to compete in the national championships two weeks earlier when the rest of the U.S. figure skating team was chosen. At the time, she was suffering from a groin(腹股沟) injury. She asked earnestly for a spot on the team. The U.S. figure skating committee said she had to prove herself during a monitoring session.
“I appreciate the faith and confidence that U.S. Figure Skating has shown in me,” Kwan said after a successful monitoring session. “My injury is now completely healed, I’m working hard, and I will do my very best to make all Americans proud in Torino.”
The U.S. Team
Kwan, 25, will join Sasha Cohen, 21, and Kimmie Meissner, 16, as the top three female figure skaters at the Winter Games. Emily Hughes, 17, will go to the games as an alternate(候补人). Emily’s sister, Sarah Hughes, won gold in 2002 in an upset.
Despite her age and her injuries, Kwan said she is confident about her chances this year.
“I do have a shot,” she said. “I can’t tell you the percentage of winning the gold, but I have a shot and I’ll take advantage of that shot.”
Questions:
51. How many times has Michelle Kwan competed in the Olympics?
52. What does the sentence “I do have a shot” mean?
53. Who will compete in the Winter Games representing the U.S. Team besides Kwan?
54. Despite her age and her injuries, Kwan said she is confident of her chances this year. (将此句改为让步状语从句)

定语从句全掌握
Ⅰ. 概念:
(1) 定语从句:在主从复合句中用作定语的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般紧接在先行词(antecedent)后面。
(2) 先行词:被定语从句修饰的成份。先行词可以为一个词,短语,或整个主句。
(3) 引导定语从句的词叫关系词,分为关系代词和关系副词。
关系词的作用:
1) 引导定语从句,连接主句和从句,相当于一个连词;
2) 必在从句中作某个句子成份(可以做主语,宾语,表语,定语,状语)
常用的关系代词: that(在从句中作主语,宾语,表语;可指人或物), which(在从句中作主语,宾语,表语或定语;只可指物), who(主格,在从句中作主语,在口语或非正式用法中作宾语;只可指人),whom(宾格,在从句中作宾语;只可指人),whose(属格,在从句中作定语,可指人或物), as (在从句中作主语,宾语,表语; 可指人或物, 通常指代事); but (文语, 置于否定词之后=that/who…not…, "没有……不……", 在从句中作主语,宾语)
常用的关系副词(在从句中只作状语): when(时间状语), why(原因状语), where(地点状语), how(方式状语)
(4) 句子成分:
主语---谓语动词前;
宾语-介宾或及物动词的宾语;
表语-be动词后或系动词后;
状语-时间状语、地点状语、原因状语,etc.
例如:
1.The student who answered the question was John. (Who 做关系代词引导定语从句,修饰先行词student, who在从句中用作主语.)
2.I know the reason why he was so angry. (Why做关系副词, 修饰先行词reason, why在从句中作原因状语.)
3.The boy (whom) you are talking to is my brother. (Whom做关系代词,修饰先行词boy, whom在从句中作宾语.)
4. I'd like a room whose window looks out over the sea. (Whose做关系代词, 修饰先行词room, whose在从句中用作定语,可代之以of which)
定语从句三步:
第一找出先行词;
第二看先行词在定语从句中的语法功能(做主语、宾语或状语);
第三选择合适的关系词。
Ⅱ. 几个关系代词的基本用法:
一、that: 可指人或物;在定语从句中作主语,宾语,表语。(指人时,相当于who或 whom;指物时,相当于which)(一般不用于非限制性定语从句; 不可置于介词后作宾语) 如:
1. A letter that/which is written in pencil is difficult to read. (主语)
2. Do you know the gentleman that/who spoke just now?
3. You can take anything ( that) you like. (宾语)
4. What is the question (that/which) they are talking about?
5. Here is the man ( who/whom/that ) you want to see.
6. She's no longer the girl ( that) she used to be before.(表语)
7. Our hometown is no longer the one (that) it used to be.= Our hometown is not the same as it used to be.= Our hometown is different from what it used to be.= Our hometown is not what it used to be.
二、which: 指物;在定语从句中作主语,宾语,表语,定语。如:
1. The book which/that was on the desk was bought by my father.(主语)
2. The book (which/that) I bought yesterday is very interesting.(宾语)
3. The factory in which his father works is far from here.
4. He was proud, which his brother never was. (表语)
5. Tom spent four years in college, during which time he learned French.(定语)
6. He may be late, in which case we ought to wait for him.
三、who, whom, whose:
who: 主格, 在从句中作主语,在口语或非正式用法中作宾语; 只可指人
whom: 宾格,在从句中作宾语; 只可指人
whose: 属格,在从句中作定语,可指人也可指物。
1.I like the students who/that work hard. (主语)
2.All who heard the story were amazed. (代词如he, they, any, those, all, one等后多用who.)
3.Chaplin, for whom life had once been very hard, was a success as an actor. (宾语)
4.He's a man from whom we should learn. = He's a man (whom/who/that) we should learn from.
比较:He is the student whom you think to be worthy of your praise.
He is the student who you think is worth praising.
5. A child whose parents are dead is called an orphan.(指人)
I'd like a room whose window faces south. (指物)=I'd like a room of which the window faces south. =I'd like a room the window of which faces south.
There is a teapot shaped like a Chinese duck, out of whose mouth tea is supposed to come
关系代词作介词宾语:
关系代词在定语从句中用作介词宾语时, 介词可放于从句之首, 也可放于从句之末. 但以放于句首较为正式.(介词前置,必须注意不影响动词词组的含义。关系代词who 和 that 用作介词宾语时, 介词必须放在句末.) 如:
1. This is the book for which you asked.
=This is the book (that/which) you asked for.
2.Do you know the person with whom I shook hands?= Do you know the person (whom/who/that) I shook hands with?
3. The beginning of agriculture was a big step in human progress with which nothing could compare until our information age.
4.In the dark street, there wasn't a single person to whom she could turn for help.
Is this the factory to which you paid a visit last week?
Is this factory the one to which you paid a visit last week?
5.This is the girl whom they are looking after. (介词after与look构成固定词组,不可前置。再如:look at, look for, look after, take care of等)
四、as 的用法:(as 引导定语从句, 在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语)
(1) 如为限制性的,多用于the same …as ; the same as;such …as …; as many/much as;so …as等结构中。如:
1. I have the same book as you (have). 我有一本和你的一样的书。
Her attitude to him was quite the same as it had always been. (关系代词as和指示代词same连用, 在从句中用作表语, 先行词是same.)
2.---Why didn't you mention that in face of the police just now?
--- I thought it was such a minor detail as was hardly worth mentioning.
We will only discuss such problems as have something to do with our own interests.
Don't do such things as you are not sure about.
There is no such place as you dream of in all this world.
比较:I live in the same house that he used to live in.
I'm wearing the same shirt as you wore yesterday.
比较:Here is so big a stone as no one can lift. (定语从句)
Here is so big a stone that no one can lift it.(结果状语从句)
(2) 如为非限制性的,多单独引导一个定语从句,这种定语从句可置于句首,句中或句尾,译为"正如,这一点"。(动词常为know, see, expect, point out, etc.)
1. As we all know, smoking is harmful to one's health . (as 作宾语)
=As is known to all, smoking is harmful to one's health . (as 作主语)
=It's known to all that smoking is harmful to one's health .
或:Smoking is harmful to one's health , as we all know .(as 作宾语)
或: Smoking, as we all know, is harmful to one' health.
2.He was a foreigner, as I knew from his accent. (宾语, 先行词是前面整个句子)
五、but的用法:
but用作关系代词, 其意思相当于who/that…not…, "没有……不……", 如:
1.There is not one of us but wishes to help you.
2.There is no tree but bears some fruit.
3.There are very few but admire his talents.
Ⅲ. 关系副词引导的定语从句:
When 指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。其先行词是表时间的名词(如:time, day, week, tear, month, etc.)
1. He came last night when I was out.
2. We will put off the picnic until next week, when the weather would be better.
注意:先行词为"时间名词",可用when引导定语从句,when在定语从句中作状语;还可以用which或that 引导,which或that在从句中作主语或宾语。
比较: 1.I still remember the day when /on which my brother joined the army.(作状语)
Next month, when you will be in your hometown, is just around the corner.
2. I still remember the days which/that we spent together. (作宾语)
Next winter which/that you'll spend in Harbin, I'm sure, will be exciting.
3. I shall never forget the day when Shen Zhou Ⅴ was launched, which has a great effect on my life.
There are occasions when joking is not permissible.
Where 指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。其先行词是表示地点的名词,如:place, school, factory, room, etc. 如:
1. This is the place where I was born.
2. I live in the room where /in which he used to live.
注意:先行词是"地点名词",定语从句可用where引导,还可用which或that引导,which/that 在从句中作主语或宾语。
比较: 1. This is the factory where /in which he worked last year. (作状语)
The treatment will continue until the patient reaches the point where he can walk correctly and safely.
I think you have got to the point where a change is needed, or you would fail.
Government reports, legal papers and most business letters are the main situations where English is used.
He's got himself into a dangerous situation where he's likely to lose control of the plane.
The small mountain village where we spent our holiday last month lies in what /the place which is now part of Hubei.
2. This is the park which/that they visited last year. (作宾语)
Not having been there before, he simply had no idea about the place, which everyone says is worth visiting.
Why 指原因,在定语从句中作原因状语。先行词为reason 时,可用for which指代;当关系词在从句中作主语或宾语时,则用which或that 引导。如:
1. The reason why / for which / (that) he didn't attend the meeting was that he was ill.(作状语)
2. I don't believe the reason (that/which) he gave me. (作宾语)
Have you asked him the reason that may explain his success? (作主语)
Ex.) He was late .That's because he got up late.
.He got up late. That's why he was late.(表语从句)
(the reason) why/for which he was late. (定语从句)
当先行词为way时,定语从句常用that, in which,或how引导,that常可以省略。
way后的定语从句 的引导词不用时较多。但如果关系词在句中作主语或宾语
时,则用which或that 引导。如:
1. This is the way (that) /in which I do such things.
比较: Please do the experiment in the way (that/which)I have shown you.
Ⅳ. 限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别:
1. 形式上,非限制性定语从句往往用逗号隔开。
2. 语法上,非限制性定语从句一般不用that.
3. 语义上,限制性定语从句与先行词关系紧密,起限定作用,如果去掉了这个定语从句,整个句子就不完整或者会改变意思;而非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不是很紧密,对先行词起补充说明或描述的作用。
1).This is the book I like best. 这就是我最喜欢的那本书。
2).Beijing, which has been China's capital for more than 800 years , is rich in cultural and historic relics. 北京是中国八百年之久的古都,它有着丰富的文化和历史遗产。
4. 翻译时,限制性定语从句可译为一句(较短的一般译为"的"字结构);而非限制性定语从句可译为两句。(见上句翻译)
比较: He has a sister, who is a musician.
He has a sister who is a musician.
引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词,指人时用who, whom, whose , 指物时用which , whose; 关系副词when,where, why, etc.
1. He studied hard at school when he was young, which leads to his success in his later life.
2. Tom's father, who arrived just now, is a famous scientist.
3. They set up a separate state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves.
4. He was proud, which his brother never was.
Ⅴ. 几个易混淆的关系代词的比较:
(A) that & which:
在定语从句中,which 和that 在指代事物时,一般可以互换使用,但并非在任何情况下都是这样,这里介绍宜用that, 而不宜用which 的情况.
(1) 先行词为不定代词,如all, much, something, everything, anything, nothing, none, the one等。如:
1.We should do all that is useful to the people .
2.There's nothing that can be said about it .
3.Do you mean the one that was bought yesterday?
(2) 先行词被only, any, few, little, no, just, very, one of等词修饰时。如:

2.That's the very word that is wrongly used.
3.The last place (that) we visited was the chemical works.
4. You can take any (=whichever) seat that is free.

(6) 被修饰词为数词时. 如:
1.Yesterday I caught two fish and put them in a basin of water .Now you can see the two that are still alive .
(7) 如果有两个从句,其中一个关系代词已用which ,另一个关系代词宜用that,以避免语言的单调或重复。如:
1.Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.
(8) 疑问词是who或which,关系代词宜用that,以避免重复。如:
1. Which is the book that you like best?
2. Who is the man that is standing at the gate?
(9) 主句是There be 结构,修饰其主句的定语从句宜用that 作关系代词. 如:
1. There is still a seat in the corner that is still free.
(10) 被修饰成分为表语时,或者关系代词本身是定语从句的表语时,该关系代词宜用that . 如:
1. That's a good book that will help you a lot.
2. My home village is no longer the place ( that ) it used to be .
定语从句中宜用which而不宜用that 的情况:
(1) 当关系代词的前面有介词时. 如:
1.A zoo is a park in which many kinds of animals are kept for exhibition.
2.Is this the room in which Mr. White lives?
(2) 在非限制性定语从句中. 如:
1.Crusoe's dog, which was are now very old, became ill and died .
2.More and more people are beginning to learn English, which is becoming very popular in our country. (which指代主句)
(3) 在一个句子中有两个定语从句,其中一个定语从句的关系代词用了that, 另一个宜用which . 如:
1. Let me show you the novel,that I borrowed from the library which was newly open to us.
2. At the station I bought some magazines that might help me to pass the time on the train and which I could pass on to others when I finished them.
(4) 当关系代词后面带有插入语时. 如:
1. Here's the English grammar which, as I have told you, will help improve your English.
(5) 先行词本身是that, 宜用which . 如:
What's that which she is looking at?
(6) 先行词是those+复数名词. 如:
A shop should keep a stock of those goods which sell best.
(B) who & that:
who 和 that 指代人时,有些情况宜用who, 而不宜用that

1.There is a gentleman who wants to see you .
2.There are several students in our class who are still not sure about the use of attributive clauses.
(3) 当先行词有较长的后置定语时. 如:
1. I met a foreigner in the park yesterday afternoon who could speak Chinese very well.
(4) 一个句子中带有两个定语从句,其中一个定语从句的关系代词是that ,另一个则宜用who, 以免重复. 如:
1. The student that was praised at yesterday's meeting is the monitor who is very modest and works very hard .
(C) as & which:
as & which 引导非限制性定语从句的区别:
(1) 位置的不同:
which 引导的定语从句只置于所限制的 句子后;as 位置较灵活,也就是说as可置于所限制的句子前面;插在句子中或放在句子后。如:
1. He was late again, which made his teacher very angry.
2. Jack, as you know, is an honest man. 或Jack is an honest man , as you know.
或As you know, Jack is an honest man.
(2) 先行词的不同:

which引导非限制性定语从句时,其先行词可以是一个词,一个短语或一个句子。
1. He was proud, which his brother never was. (先行词是一个词)
She was very patient towards the children, which her husband seldom was.(先行词是一个短语)
He was proud, which I dislike very much.(先行词是一个句子)

(3) as 一般译为"正如""就像","这一点"

定语从句解题的黄金规律 先行词、关系代(副)
词的句法功能
在复合句中修饰名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。引导定语从句的关系代词有who, whom, whose, which, that等和关系副词where, when ,why等。关系代词和关系副词在定语从句中担任句子成分。

命题意图:考查学生对定语从句的掌握,属于五星级题目。
知识依托:先行词是表示时间的词,从句中缺少状语,通常用关系副词when。
错解分析:本题有一定难度,主要是由于在先行词和定语从句之间有其他的词。
解题方法与技巧:首先要找准先行词,先行词hours表示的是时间,当先行词是表示时间的词时,可能有2种情况:如果从句中缺少状语,通常用关系副词when,如题;如果在从句中缺少主语或宾语,通常用关系代词that或which。
答案:C

(NMET2001)
命题意图:考查学生对定语从句中关系代词as的用法。属于五星级题目。
知识依托:as引导非限制性定语从句。
错解分析:A项迷惑性较大。但it是形式主语,后应用that从句作真正主语。如:It’s known to everybody that the moon travels round the earth once every month.
解题方法与技巧:根据题干的逗号可以判断,空缺处应填关系代词as,引导非限制性定语从句。在这种用法中,as的意思是“正像”“像”“那样”,定语从句则表达了说话人的对某事的态度和看法。
答案:B
●锦囊妙计
1.由who, whom, whose引导的定语从句:这类定语从句中, who用作主语,whom用作宾语,whose用作定语。例如:
This is the man who helped me.
The doctor whom you are looking for is in the room.
Do you know the man whose name is Wang Yu?
2.which引导的定语从句:which在从句中作主语或谓语动词和介词的宾语。例如:
This is the book which you want.
The building which stands near the river is our school.
The room in which there is a machine is a workshop.
3.由that引导的定语从句:that在定语从句中可以指人或物,在从句中作主语、谓语动词或介词的宾语。(但不能放在介词后面作介词宾语)例如:
The letter that I received was from my father.
注意在下面几种情况下必须用that而不用which引导定语从句:
①先行词是不定代词all, few, little, much, something, nothing, anything等。例如:All that we have to do is to practise every day.
②先行词被序数词或形容词最高级所修饰。例如:The first lesson that I learned will never be forgotten. This is the best film I’ve ever seen.
③先行词被all, any, every, each, few, little, no, some等修饰。例如:I have read all the books(that)you gave me.
④先行词被the only, the very, the same, the last修饰时,例如:He is the only person that/(who) I want to talk to .
⑤先行词既有人又有物时,例如:They talked of things and persons that they remembered.
⑥当句中已有who时,为避免重复。例如:Who is the man that is talking to John?
⑦用作关系代词,修饰表示时间的名词如day, time, moment等,代替when。例如:It happened on the day that/when I was born.
⑧如有两个定语从句,其中一个关系词已用,则另一个用that。例如:Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.
4.由when, where, why引导的定语从句。例如:
I know the reason why he came late.
This is the place where we lived for 5 years.
I will never forget the day when I met Mr Liu.
注意:先行词是表示地点或时间时,有时用where或when,有时用that(which)引导定语从句,这时要根据从句的谓语动词是及物的还是不及物的。如果是及物的就用that(which),否则用where或when。例如:
This is the house where he lived last year.
This is the house that(which)he visited last year.
I thought of the happy days when I stayed in Beijing.
I have never forgotten the day which we spent together.
5.限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句:
①限定性定语从句是句中不可缺少的组成部分,主句和从句之间不用逗号分开,引导非限定性定语从句的关系代词有who, whom, whose, which, of which等,这些关系代词都不能省略;
②非限定性定语从句是对主句先行词的补充说明,没有这种从句不影响主句意思的完整,一般用逗号把主句和从句分开。关系代词用which,不用that;指人时可用who,例如:
I have two sisters, who are both students.
Crusoe’s dog, which was now very old, became ill and died.
6.as引导的定语从句:
①as用作关系代词和关系副词引导限定性定语从句,并在从句中作主语、表语或状语,构成the same…as, such…as等结构。例如:
I like the same book as you do.(as作宾语)
I shall do it in the same way as you did.(as作状语)
I want to have such a dictionary as he has.(as作宾语);
②as引导非限定性定语从句。as在定语从句中作主语、表语或宾语,这个定语从句说明整个句子,可以放在主句之前。例如:
As we all know, he studies very hard.(as代表整个句子,作宾语)
As is known to all, he is the best student in our class.(as代表整个句子,作主语)
常用的这种类似插入语的句式有as is said above, as is already mentioned above, as is known to all, as it is, as is often the case, as is reported in the newspaper等。
注意:①关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词的人称和数必须和先行词保持一致;②关系代词whom, which, that在限定性定语从句作动词宾语或介词宾语,而该介词又位于从句末尾时,经常省略,但as一般不省略;③关系代词which和as在定语从句中的区别是:which不能放在句首,而as则可以;在句中时,as有“正如”“就像”之意,而which则没有此意。

After having exercise in the gym tonight, I just had a shower to relax for a while. While calming myself down with soft music, I started to recall what happened in the daytime and wrote it down.
The accident that gave me much thought happened on my way to the gym after work. When I walked about half way, I saw that many people surrounded something on the roadside and they were worried and shocked. I joined them and found there was a man lying on the ground. I noticed that he was a young man around 30 years old. He looked so pale and very thin. From his dressing, I simply judged that he worked in the office. The hospital ambulance came over and some nurses did the regular check for him. A nurse said that there was nothing serious with him but his body was very weak, which should be caused by overwork and less exercise.
It’s a really sad thing for a young person to fall down in the street. A couple of days ago, I read a magazine mentioning that there is an increasing number of businessmen and white-collar workers with unhealthy bodies. Under huge pressure, they put all their time and energy to work and can’t find enough time for a good meal or a good sleep, let alone exercise. But they forget that without health, work is equivalent to zero.
As I realize how important it is to put the health matter ahead, I am willing to do more exercise. I know exercise can bring me enjoyment and health. I know without health, even a most successful career and a great amount of money will lose their meanings.
When I got out of the gym, I felt that every cell in my body was refreshed and I was able to have more energy to write the words above. The feeling in sweat was wonderful!

The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.
John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”
Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.
John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dogs. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.
Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.

A. not all dogs won the honor of the most popular breed
B. not all Labs are gentle, clever and friendly
C. Marley caused the Grogans a few troubles
D. Marley provided many stories for the newspaper articles
47. We can infer when John Grogan wrote the book “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”, he was very ____.
A. angry B. disappointed
C. happy D. frightened
48. What made Marley attack the furniture when he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm?
A. The fear of hearing loud noises.
B. The anger of being left alone.
C. The unhappiness of having no toys.
D. The disappointment of getting nothing to eat.
49. Marley was driven out of the dog training school because he ____.
A. didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to
dogs
B. made it difficult for other dogs to get trained
C. liked to attack the trainers when getting angry

Solar water heaters are devices that use energy from the sun to heat water. The solar water heater described here is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. It can heat seventy liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average outside temperature of thirty-two degrees Celsius.
The solar water heater has two parts. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. This metal surface, placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. Black-painted surfaces that receive the sun’s heat become hotter than the surface of any other color. The black metal sheet is called a collector. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Metal sheets that have raised sections will work very well. These corrugated (有波纹的) metal sheets are often used to make the roofs of houses.
The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank can be a container that holds about one hundred liters. Two rubber (橡胶) pipes are connected to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the tank. The other lets water flow out.
When the solar water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. The storage tank is covered with material called insulation (绝缘材料). This allows the water to stay warm for a long time. At night the water in the collector will cool down.
But the temperature of the water in the solar water heater can only reach one hundred degrees Celsius at most. If you want to know the temperature of the water exactly, you can add a special thermometer (温度计) to your solar water heater.
51. What do we know about the solar water heater designed in Afghanistan?
A. It can’t heat water in the afternoon.
B. It can heat water to 60 ℃ at most.
C. It works better on a sunny day.
D. It can only hold seventy liters of water.
52. The metal surface of a solar water heater is painted black because in this way it can ____.
A. reach a higher temperature after receiving the same amount of sunlight
B. store more sunlight compared with the sheets of the other colors
C. allow the water in the solar water heater system to flow fast
D. make the solar water heater look more beautiful
53. The part used to allow water to flow into and out of the storage tank is made of ____.
A. metal B. rubber
C. wood D. glass
54. Which can be removed from a solar water heater as it is not a necessary part?
A. A collector. B. A storage tank. C. A pipe. D. A thermometer.
55. What can we know from the passage?
A. The first solar water heater was invented in
Afghanistan.
B. The flat metal sheet will work better in a solar water heater.
C. The collector of the solar water heater can keep water warm at night.
D. The corrugated metal sheets can be used as a material for house building.

Have you thought about whether the students should have a long holiday each term, or several short holidays throughout the whole school year? A number of students think it is good to have a whole term with a long holiday at the end. Others believe that it will be better for them to have several short holidays throughout the year. A long holiday can give students enough time to rest and prepare for the next term. Besides, a long holiday gives them a chance to gain other knowledge. However, students who prefer to have several short holidays throughout a whole school year say that they don’t like keeping studying for a long time. It seems to be too boring for them. They want to have a balance (平衡) between study and relaxation. If they have a few short holidays they will have more time to care about other things in daily life.

My favorite teacher is Liu Dan, the English teacher, who is 25 years old and doesn’t look very beautiful, but I should say she is attractive, because she is very kind and gets on well with all the students in our class. Miss Liu speaks very fluent English and we all admire her very much. What impresses me most is that Miss Liu works very hard and cares for everybody in her class. What’s more, she is very enthusiastic and patient and whenever we are in trouble, she helps us out.
As a result, she is so popular among us that we regard her not only as a teacher but also as a good friend.
读写任务
Different students have different ideas as to
whether it is better to have a long holiday at the end of each term or several short ones throughout the year.
Someone may like several short holidays, but, as for me, a long holiday at the end of each term is better. On the one hand, it can give us enough time to have a good rest and enjoy ourselves. For example, we can travel to distant places during a long holiday, which is impossible if we only have short holidays. On the other hand, if we want to learn something in which we are interested, we can spend much time on it. As we know, to master one thing usually takes much time.
All in all, a long holiday can give us enough time to rest and do something else. So I’d like to have a long holiday.

Dear Zhang Lan,
I’m very sorry to hear that you have been out of work. As a matter of fact, it is because of the global economic crisis that a great number of people are suffering from the same thing as you at present. So you shouldn’t lose heart or give in. After all, it doesn’t mean that the world is at an end. What’s more, it is useless complaining about it again and again.
In my opinion, you should change your attitude towards it and try every possible means to find another job. During this period, you can go to a night school to get further education in order to find a better-paid job. Besides, you can turn to the local government for help. I am willing to give you as much help as possible.
Wish you good luck!
Yours,
Lin Nan

A 难度:★
After having exercise in the gym tonight, I just had a shower to relax for a while. While calming myself down with soft music, I started to recall what happened in the daytime and wrote it down.
The accident that gave me much thought happened on my way to the gym after work. When I walked about half way, I saw that many people surrounded something on the roadside and they were worried and shocked. I joined them and found there was a man lying on the ground. I noticed that he was a young man around 30 years old. He looked so pale and very thin. From his dressing, I simply judged that he worked in the office. The hospital ambulance came over and some nurses did the regular check for him. A nurse said that there was nothing serious with him but his body was very weak, which should be caused by overwork and less exercise.
It’s a really sad thing for a young person to fall down in the street. A couple of days ago, I read a magazine mentioning that there is an increasing number of businessmen and white-collar workers with unhealthy bodies. Under huge pressure, they put all their time and energy to work and can’t find enough time for a good meal or a good sleep, let alone exercise. But they forget that without health, work is equivalent to zero.
As I realize how important it is to put the health matter ahead, I am willing to do more exercise. I know exercise can bring me enjoyment and health. I know without health, even a most successful career and a great amount of money will lose their meanings.
When I got out of the gym, I felt that every cell in my body was refreshed and I was able to have more energy to write the words above. The feeling in sweat was wonderful!

A. How Much Exercise We Need

A. can’t balance work and life

B 难度:★★
The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.
John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”
Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.
John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dogs. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.
Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.
60. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the fact that ____.
A. not all dogs won the honor of the most popular breed
B. not all Labs are gentle, clever and friendly
C. Marley caused the Grogans a few troubles
D. Marley provided many stories for the newspaper
articles
61. We can infer when John Grogan wrote the book “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”, he was very ____.
A. angry B. disappointed
C. happy D. frightened
62. Marley was driven out of the dog training school because he ____.
A. didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs
B. made it difficult for other dogs to get trained
C. liked to attack the trainers when getting angry
D. didn’t know how to hide his emotions
63. From the passage we can know ____.
A. every dog in America attends the dog training school
B. a Lassie should be a troublesome dog just like Marley
C. Marley often lost his temper and bit other dogs
D. Marley led a life full of love in the Grogans’
C 难度:★★★
Crops generally produce several hundred seeds per plant. But each weed (杂草) plant can produce tens or even hundreds of thousands of seeds. And some buried seeds stay alive even for forty years. Many farmers remove (去除) all the seeds and roots so the plants will not grow back. But birds or the wind can take them back to the land.
Farmers need to control the weed well enough so that the land can be used for planting. Besides using chemical weed killers to hold back the weed growth, experts advise several other control methods to deal with weeds.
Dense(稠密的) planting of a crop acts as one of the most common natural methods for controlling weeds. A dense, competitive crop will quickly shade the soil. Thus the seeds will grow slowly or even die because of a lack of sunlight.
Other control methods including turning over the soil, pulling the weeds by hand or covering them with mulch (覆盖物) made from wood, garden waste or other material are also effective. Mulch is widely used, but even mulch has its limits. Experts note that weeds can be transported in mulch. This is also true of soil, grain, hay and animals. Yet animals like sheep or goats can provide a biological control — they eat weeds. Insects can also eat weeds.
Preventing the spread of weeds is an important part of weed management. Farm vehicles should be kept out of areas with weeds. If that is not possible, clean off the equipment and your shoes when leaving. People in Queensland are advised to take weeds and garden waste to a waste center or burn them. Piling up weeds to make fertilizer(肥料) is another way to deal with them. The process of making fertilizer produces heat. The heat will kill many weed seeds. The same is true of seeds that pass through farm animals that feed on weeds.
64. Weeds are difficult to deal with because ____.
a. their seeds have strong life
b. they can produce many seeds
c. chemical weed killers can’t kill them
d. their seeds can be transported easily
e. their roots are too deep to be taken out
A. ace. B. abd.
C. bcd. D. bde.
65. Dense planted crops can control weeds because they ____.
A. prevent weeds from getting sunlight
B. leave little fertilizer for weeds
C. use up most of the water in the soil
D. stop weeds from getting enough heat
66. What will kill weed seeds when farmers pile up weeds to make fertilizer?
A. The lack of air. B. The poisonous gas.
C. The high temperature. D. The special chemicals.
67. Why should farmers clean off their shoes before they leave their fields?
A. Because they might take away some crop seeds.
B. Because some rich soil might be attached to them.
C. Because they might take away some fertilizer along with them.
D. Because they might take away weed seeds along with them.

Solar water heaters are devices that use energy from the sun to heat water. The solar water heater described here is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. It can heat seventy liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average outside temperature of thirty-two degrees Celsius.
The solar water heater has two parts. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. This metal surface(表面), placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. Black-painted surfaces that receive the sun’s heat become hotter than the surface of any other color. The black metal sheet is called a collector. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Metal sheets that have raised sections will work very well. These corrugated (有波纹的) metal sheets are often used to make the roofs of houses.
The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank(贮存箱) can be a container that holds about one hundred liters. Two rubber pipes are connected to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the tank. The other lets water flow out.
When the solar water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. The storage tank is covered with material called insulation (绝缘材料). This allows the water to stay warm for a long time. At night the water in the collector will cool down.
But the temperature of the water in the solar water heater can only reach one hundred degrees Celsius at most. If you want to know the temperature of the water exactly, you can add a special thermometer (温度计) to your solar water heater.
68. What do we know about the solar water heater designed in Afghanistan?
A. It can’t heat water in the afternoon.
B. It can heat water to 60 ℃ at most.
C. It works better on a sunny day.
D. It can only hold seventy liters of water.
69. The metal surface of a solar water heater is painted black because in this way it can ____.
A. reach a higher temperature after receiving the same
amount of sunlight
B. store more sunlight compared with the sheets of the other colors
C. allow the water in the solar water heater system to flow fast
D. make the solar water heater look more beautiful
70. Which can be removed from a solar water heater as it is not a necessary part?
A. A collector. B. A storage tank.
C. A pipe. D. A thermometer.
71. What can we know from the passage?
A. The first solar water heater was invented in Afghanistan. B. The flat metal sheet will work better in a solar water heater.
C. The collector of the solar water heater can keep water warm at night.
D. The corrugated metal sheets can be used as a material for house building.

One of the most important birthdays for a teenage girl is her sweet sixteen birthday. A sweet sixteen celebration has more milestones(转折点) compared to her previous birthday celebrations since it marks the beginning of a more responsible adult-teenage life. So it demands (要求)more attention and time and should be started off with a party and style. Here are some of the sweet sixteen party ideas that you must keep in mind when planning for your daughter’s birthday party.
1. ________
Most parents love surprise parties, but a sweet sixteen party shouldn’t be one of them. The party should be planned together with the celebrant(圣事主持者) because it requires much preparation. Also, the things that you like might not be what your daughter likes and it may not turn out to be a great event for her.
2. ________
When planning for the party, the first thing that you should do is to plan for the time and place. You should plan the party at least two months before her birthday. After planning for the time, find the right venue, where an indoor or outdoor party could be held.
3. ________
Choosing a theme should be fun and exciting. Focusing on a certain theme will make planning easier. Some great ideas are a pool or beach party, a formal party at a banquet hall or a casual high-tea backyard party. Other nice themes to choose from are the pink sweet sixteen theme, musical rock-concert theme, or Hollywood theme.
4. ________
Choose a main course and add desserts such as salads, cakes, and fruits. It is possible that the kids will be staying a bit longer, so you had better prepare some finger foods for the snacks. As for the beverages, choose sodas and juices because most of your visitors are kids.
72. Match the following titles with each idea.

My Favorite Teacher
My favorite teacher is Liu Dan, who teaches us English. She is 25 years old and doesn’t look very beautiful, but I should say she is attractive, because she is very kind and gets on well with all the students in our class. Miss Liu speaks very fluent English and we all admire her very much. What impresses me most is that Miss Liu works very hard and she cares for everybody in her class. What’s more, she is very enthusiastic and patient and whenever we are in trouble, she helps us out. As a result, she is so popular among us that we regard her not only as a teacher but also as a good friend.
What a good teacher! I believe I will make great progress in her class.
21. A。本题考查情景交际。根据答语空后句意“事实上,我有一点害怕动物。”可知,答话人是不赞成第一个人养宠物的。对于“Do you mind ...?”的回答,肯定的答语表示“介意”,而否定的答语表示“不介意”。所以本题应该选择A。
22. C。本题考查冠词。at war with ...表示“与……交战”; work as a doctor 表示“当医生”。所以本题选择C。
23. D。本题考查代词。句中两个分句用转折连词but连接,第一个分句意为“《我爱记歌词》 这个节目如此有趣以至于深受年轻人欢迎”,所以第二个分句应表示与之相反的意思,即“并非适合每个人的品味”。
24. C。本题考查动词辨析。damage损坏;wound多指在战争或搏斗中受伤;injure指在事故中受伤;destroy破坏,毁坏,多用于事物。本句意为“—为什么他那样走路?看起来他走路有很大的困难。—因为他三年前在一场事故中受伤了。”
25. B。本题考查定语从句。根据句意和句式结构可知,English corner之后为修饰它的定语从句,且关联词在定语从句中充当地点状语,所以要使用where引导。
26. C。本题考定语从句。根据句子结构来判断,逗号之后是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰books,所以要用which引导,那些书中的两本即two of which。
27. A。本题考查时态。根据主句时态为将来进行时可知,在夏令营的日子应该也是发生在将来,所以其定语从句应该用将来时态。
28. A。本题考查直接引语与间接引语。根据句式结构可知,本句为一个间接引语,由于主句谓语动词为过去时,所以间接引语中的谓语及其后的宾语从句中的谓语也要使用相应的过去时态。
29. D。本题考查动词add的用法。add to使增加;add up to加起来总共是……,没有被动语态。根据句意“我们在北京那个新项目上花的钱加起来总共是800万人民币。”可知答案。
30. D。本题考查短语动词辨析。take out取出;get out出去,离开;give out分发;dig out掘出,发现。本句意为“那个农民在农田里干活的时候挖出了一些唐朝的杯子。”
31. C。本题考查倒装。“only+状语从句”位于句首时,句子要用部分倒装结构,即将助动词提至主语之前。本句意为“只有当Michael有了自己的孩子时,他才意识到让一个孩子健康成长太困难了。”
32. D。本题考查副词辨析。practically实际地;probably可能;especially尤其,特别;entirely完全地,彻底地。本句意为“他们的看法和我们的完全不同,因为他们根本不关心住在那的人,而我们关心。”
33. A。本题考查名词辨析。fare多指车、船、飞机票的票价,而fee主要指专业服务费,如医生、律师的服务费,worth和value则指抽象的价值。本句中是指一张单程机票的价钱,所以要用fare。
34. A。本题考查形容词辨析。generous宽宏大量的;nervous紧张的;serious严肃的;anxious忧虑的。本句意为“我们的英语老师是一个如此宽宏大量的人,以至于他不会为了这么小的一个错误而责怪你的。”
35. B。本题考查连词。even if即使;as if好像;in case以免;in order that以便。本句意为“他听到了很大的一声响,就像是有火车在他的房子下面通过。”

46. A。根据上文中的“With the passing of time”和下文中提到的“有人把雪人的残余做成了兔子的形状”,可猜测出是春天来了。
47. D。春天来了,天气变暖,因此使雪人的“形状”发生了变化。
48. B。根据上文中提到的“keep what we created”可知,此处是说为了让雪人持续的时间更“长久”些。
49. C。由下文中的提示“The email said”可知答案。
50. D。根据上下文内容可判断,本句为让步状语从句,应该用even though来引导。
51. A。雪人所“显示”出来的活力,充满了幸福和欢乐。
52. C。这封没有署名的电子邮件中说到:作者家院子里的雪人给很多人带来了快乐,人们纷纷来分享和维护这份快乐。而这种分享快乐的精神和行动正是当今世界所需要的。根据文意可知,此处应填what。
53. A。或许“我们”那天堆的并不仅仅是一个“雪人”。
54. B。turn out to be“结果为……”。

Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.
Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.

Did you know that a turtle(乌龟)can lay 12 eggs in one minute? A large sea turtle lays
around 150 eggs at a time. She lays all these eggs in just a few minutes.Large sea turtles live in the warm seas of the world. Except for when they lay their eggs, they spend their whole lives in the water. When it is time to lay their eggs, the females swim to land.
They usually return to the place where they themselves were born. How they find their way back there is unknown. When they reach shore, the big, heavy turtles crawl slowly up to the high water mark. Using
their flippers, they pull themselves along the sand. They must struggle like mountain climbers.
When they finally reach dry sand, they rest before beginning the difficult task of laying eggs.The turtles lay the eggs in deep holes and cover them with warm sand. The sand protects the eggs from harm. Then the females leave them. After a few weeks, if you happened to be walking
along the beach, you might see the sand begin to shake. You may see tiny black balls coming out
of the sand. The tiny heads of baby turtles!
56. Which sentence expresses the main idea?A. Sea turtles have interesting life habits.B. Sea turtles swim to shore to lay their eggs.C. Large sea turtles lay their eggs in special ways.D. Sea turtles enjoy staying in the sand.

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
70.According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to ________.
A. strike them on the bottom
B. try to help them do the right thing
C. teach them what to do
D. take them to court
Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?
It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.
The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.
Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spanking?
A. favorable (赞同的) B. indifferent (不关心)
C. interested D. unfavorable
73. From this passage, we can conclude (作出结论) that ________.
A.Good children always do the right thing.
B.Parents should try their best to avoid (避免) spanking their children.
C.Parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong.
D.Children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked.

Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.
Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.
Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.
But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother (添麻烦)to cook themselves.
“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.
“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”
In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.
Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.
77. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.
A. They have no time to cook at home.
B. They get up too late.
C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.
D. They will go to church.
78. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.
B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.
C. British women did their shopping on Sundays in the past.
D. British men did little housework at home in the past.
79. The underlined word “ leisure” in Para 3 means ___________.
A. housework B. shopping C. lunch D. free time
80. The text mainly tells us ________.
A. what Britons did on Sundays
B. why Britons go shopping on Sundays
C. How Britons spend their holidays
D. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays
81. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Men do more housework on Sundays.
B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.
C. No people go to church on Sundays now.
D. Britons all go out on Sundays.

Dear editor.
I have had a problem recently and I don't know what to do between what I want and what my parents want.
I am an average student in my school. So my parents feel that I should spend more time improving my grades In this way, 1 can go to a good university in the future.
However, I have been playing for the school basketball team for the past few years. My coach thinks I have a chance to become a real future star. As you know, it always takes me a lot of time to practise and take part in games. They are angry with me and don't allow me to do it again.
As for me(In my opinion), I like basketball and 1 hope I will be well trained arid become a super star.
Look forward to getting your advice soon.
Yours,
Li Hong

Mandela Born-again as An Artist at 84
VAN Gogh. Picasso. Matisse. Mandela?
He may not quite fit with those legendary(well-known)artists, but at age 84, revolutionary-turned-peacemaker Nelson Mandela has taken charcoal to canvas and transformed (changed completely) himself into a top-selling artist.
In just five months, the former South African president and Nobel Peace winner has sold more than 1, 000 lithographs (prints made using a stone or metal surface) of five charcoal and pastel drawings of his time as a prisoner at the brutal (cruel; savage), apartheid-era (南非种族隔离时代) Robben Island prison.
His pictures cut across cultures, people’s ethnic (national) backgrounds and economic backgrounds, said Ross Calder, an art publisher.
Mandela’s new career in art began when Calder saw how John Lennon’s wife Yoko One was using his sketches草图 to raise money for charity and decided Mandela could do the same thing to raise funds for his children’s charity慈善. “I may be artistic, but it’s in the back, far recesses (remote or secret place) of my mind. It will take a lot to get that out,” Mandela said.
Mandela learned from Cape Town artist Varenke Paschke in the mysteries of composition (arrangement) and color. He decided to recreate his time on Robben Island, but not in a dark and gloomy (dark) way.
His simple charcoal碳笔and pastel粉蜡笔 pictures of the island are surprisingly cheery and bright. Even a view of Cape Town’s Table Mountain through the bars铁窗 of his cell囚室 appears optimistic(happy).
The bars are a cheery orange, and the vast distance between Mandela and the freedom of the mountain is a green field.
“I have attempted(tried) to color the island sketches in ways that reflect(tell) the positive(active) light in which I view(see) it,” Mandela said. “This is what I would like to share with people and, hopefully, project the idea that even the most fantastic(wonderful) of dreams can be achieved, if we are prepared to endure(accept) life’s challenges(difficulty).”
51. Nelson Mandela is ________ now.
A. a top-selling B. a prisoner C. an artist D. a president
52. Mandela’s picture are ________.
A. simple charcoal and pastel pictures B. about the view of the Robben Island
C. the mysteries of composition D. the real reflection of his life and dreams
53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Mandela successfully changed himself into an artist after retiring.
B. It took a lot for Mandela to show his artistic talent(gift天赋) far recesses of his mind.
C. Mandela convinced(persuaded) people that any dreams could be realized only if they were ready to suffer difficulties.
D. Mandela got a great deal of money as well as fame by selling his pictures.
54. What can we infer推论 from the passage?
Mandela is the former South African president.
Mandela is able to use colors and light in his pictures successfully.
The life in the Robben Island prison was terrible.
Mandela used his sketches to raise money for the children’s charity.
55. Which of the following can best describe Nelson Mandela?
A. Foolish B. Determined C. Excited D. Proud

Winston Churchill was born into a famous family. His father was a successful politician. However, as a boy, Churchill was considered a slow learner in school.
Later he entered the Army and saw action in various countries.
In October 1900, Churchill began his political career. For the next sixty years Churchill’s work as a great politician was both brighter and more difficult than his father had been.
In 1939, Germany attacked Poland. Churchill prepared to fight. In 1940 he became the Prime Minster of England.
France fell. The Germans fought their way through Western Europe. It looked as if Britain was about to lose the war. Was it not possible to ask for peace, and listen to Hitler?
Churchill spoke, “I have nothing to offer but blood, hard work, tears and sweat(汗)….You ask what is our policy(政策)? I will tell you, it is to fight, by sea, by land and air, with all our force and with all the strength that God can give us. You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory.”
The Germans began moving their armies to the French coast and prepared to go tot war with the British. The British had not enough guns to go round. Churchill gave the answer: “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the coasts, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the field and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never give up.”
By his courage and hard work Churchill heartened his people and other nations fighting together against Hitler. Victory finally came when the Germans lost World War II.
Churchill died in 1965 and was given a State Funeral(国葬). This was a fitting payment to one of all the greatest men the world had ever seen.
56. Churchill ______ before he became a politician.
A. was a slow student B. was an army man
C. helped his father in his career(职业;生涯) D. had little interest in politics

B. The writer admired and respected Churchill very much.
C. Churchill was not so clever as his father.
D. Churchill was one of the most inspiring, brave and wise leaders in the British history.
60. We can infer from the passage that ________.

C. the countries which won World War II held a State Funeral in honor of the statesman.

My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and he had opened a black law firm to advise poor black people on their problem.
I began school at six. The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave, because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. This was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have this passbook because I was not born there and I was worried about whether I would be out of work.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I never forgot how kind he was and when he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.

书面表达:
Mount Tai is a famous place of interest all over the world. Every day tourists come here to enjoy its beauty. But a few years ago, some of them paid no attention to environmental protection. They threw waste things about, such as plastic bags, fruit skins and waste papers. Sometimes they broke trees, picked flowers and killed birds; some even made fires in the woods to cook for picnics. How dangerous it was! Fortunately, great changes have taken place here. All the tourists have got used to putting their rubbish into dustbins. And they are making great efforts to protect the birds and plants as well. They bring their own meals to keep away from any accidental fire in the mountains. All those should be appreciated.

Nelson Mandela was born near Transkei, on July18, 1918. He completed law degree at university when he was 22 years old. He is a great black leader who devoted all his life to fighting for the equal rights for the black people.
It was 1952 when he opened a law office to help poor black people on their problems. A few years later , Mandela encouraged people to use violence against anti-black laws to get the same rights as white people.
Enjoy the sample So he was put into prison. The reason for which he won the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize was that he never gave up fighting for the freedom of all the blacks.
What he did was for his people, his country, not for himself. So he is a warm-hearted, brave, determined and unselfish man.
As far as I am concerned , he is a great man.Useful expressions and sentences in writing a personBirthday and birth place
