文章导语:未来的城市会是什么样子 恐怕没有人会知道确切的答案。但有一件事是肯定的,未来的城市在变小之前会变得更大。对于未来我们可以做出一些预测。你的预测又是什么呢
What will the city of the future look like No one knows for sure,and making predictions is a risky business.But one thing is certain—they are going to get bigger before they get smaller.To find out what young people think about the future of urban life,a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025.Here are some of the ideas they had:
1.To get rid of garbage problems,the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun,preventing landfill1 and environmental problems.
2.No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits.Smoking will be possible only outside cities,and outdoors.
3.In the future all shopping will be done online,and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.
4.Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
5.All forms of recreation2,such as cinemas,bowling,concerts and others,will be provided free of charge by the city.
6.All cars will be powered by electricity,solar energy or wind,and it will be possible to change the colour of cars at the flick of a switch.
7.Distance surgery3 will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away,with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient4 clinic.
8.Senior citizens and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world using high-tech cameras attached to their head.
9.Traveling in space by ordinary citizens will be common. Each city will have its own spaceport.

语 法 精 析
将来进行时态
一、基本含义
将来进行时主要表示将来某一时间正在进行的动作,或表示要在将来某一时间开始,并继续下去的动作,一般用延续性动词表示,常用来表示礼貌的询问、请求或期待等。
Please come tomorrow afternoon,I'll be having a meeting tomorrow morning.
请你明天下午来吧。明天上午我有一个会议。
将来进行时常用的时间状语有soon,this evening,by this time,tomorrow,in two days,tomorrow evening等。它表示的是一种客观的制约、约束,而不是主观意愿。
Will you be using your bicycle this evening
今晚你用自行车吗
二、语法构成
将来进行时是由“shall/will+be+动词-ing形式”构成的(其中shall只用于第一人称)。
1.肯定句式:主语+shall/will+be+动词-ing形式...
We shall/will be landing in Paris in sixteen minutes.
我们16分钟后将在巴黎机场降落。
2.否定句式:主语+shall/will+not+be+动词-ing形式...
Anyhow,you won't be playing basketball the next Saturday.
无论如何,下星期六你不许再打篮球了。
3.一般疑问句式:Shall/Will+主语+be+动词-ing形式...

他们会顺着这条路来吗
4.特殊疑问句式:疑问代词/疑问副词+shall/will+主语+be+动词-ing形式...

三、基本用法
1.将来进行时通常用于表示在最近或较远的将来正在进行的动作。

明天这个时间你会在跑步吗
2.将来进行时像现在进行时一样,可以表示已计划或安排好的动作。
I will/shall be seeing you next week.
我下个星期来看你。
We shall/will be going to London next week.
下周我们要去伦敦。
3.将来进行时有时也用来委婉地提出请求或者表达其他含义。试比较:
When will you finish these letters
你什么时候会处理完这些信件 (如上司对下属)
When will you be seeing Mr White
你什么时候会见到怀特先生 (如下属对上司)
4.将来进行时与一般将来时连用,表稍后的安排。
My duties will end in July and I will be returning to New York.
我的工作七月结束,之后我将回纽约。
四、将来进行时与一般将来时的区别
1.两者基本用法不一样:将来进行时表示将来某时正在进行的动作;一般将来时表示将来某时将要发生的动作。
What will you be doing this time tomorrow
明天这个时候你会在做什么呢
What will you do tomorrow
你明天干什么
2.两者均可表示将来,但用将来进行时语气更委婉。
When will you pay back the money
你什么时候还钱 (似乎在直接讨债)
When will you be paying back the money
这钱你什么时候还呢 (委婉地商量)

1.【教材原文】Moreover,the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.(page 20)
此外,互联网使朋友和家人即使天各一方也能轻松保持联系。
句法分析
句中的made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily属于“动词+it+ adj./n.(宾语补足语)+to do/that从句”结构。该结构中,it做形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式或that从句。一般来说,当不定式、动词-ing、从句等用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时,常用it做形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前,而将真正的宾语移至句末。常用于此结构中的动词除了make还有think,find,consider,feel等。
语境领悟
(1)Wherever she is,she makes it a rule to give her mother a call every day.

然而,我将始终着眼于变革的积极一面,接受变革,而不是抗拒变革。
句法分析
句中的rather than意为“而不是”,后面可跟与前面相似或相同的结构。本句中的rather than连接了两个并列的动宾结构accept it和 resist it。rather than做连接词,一般连接两个并列的成分,如名词、代词、形容词、介宾短语、不定式等,但要注意rather than 连接两个名词或代词做主语时,谓语动词应与rather than 前面的名词或代词在人称和数上保持一致。

(1)He insisted on staying at home rather than studying at school.
他坚持留在家里而不在学校学习。

In August,McLean and Richard travelled to Grand Teton National Park,where Ybarra joined them.Both McLean and Richard were eager to learn experience from Ybarra who had led technically complex climbs everywhere from the Himalayas to the Andes.They spent three days climbing up happily.On the fourth day,they tackled a new difficult route called The Snaz.
读后续写
典 题 示 例
They started out at dawn,hiking through a valley to reach the base of the cliff.Ybarra climbed first,passing his rope through metal cams(凸轮) that he jammed into the narrow space in the rock;such devices are meant to prevent climbers from falling too far if they slipped.When he finished a height,Richard and McLean followed,using the safety tool he had left behind.
The day was fine,and at first the going was smooth.But as the hours wore on,the group's mood shifted from enthusiastic to nervous.The dark clouds gathered and the storm was coming.“We'd better hurry,” Ybarra said. “Let's get this done before it starts pouring on us.”
There were two possible routes for the last climb.As was his practice,Ybarra chose the harder one.As Ybarra went up, McLean and Richard could hear him breathing with effort for the first time all day.“If this is tough for him,we're in trouble,” Richard said,exchanging a worried look with McLean.
After Ybarra disappeared over the cliff,Richard tried to follow.He made it part of the way,then lost his hold and swung from his rope,about 270 metres above the valley floor. He and McLean shouted to Ybarra for help,but the wind carried away their voices.
McLean pushed himself off the wall and swung next to Richard.“Why don't you try using my rope ” he said to Richard.“When you get to the top,tell Ybarra to help me.”
Grabbing his friend's lifeline,Richard managed to get to the top of the cliff.Ybarra seemed surprised when Richard turned up alone,and he realised all when he informed him of McLean's position.“We need to get him out of there before dark,” he said.
When Richard called an emergency rescue,Ybarra set out to find McLean.
Soon,a rescue helicopter appeared above their head.
仔细阅读所给材料可知,故事中的主要人物为Ybarra, McLean和Richard。
(1)理解全文,把握主线
通读短文,可知本文大意是:Ybarra,McLean和Richard一同去攀岩,McLean和Richard都渴望向经验丰富的Ybarra学习攀岩经验。攀岩过程中,Richard失手没有握住绳索,挂在上面来回晃动。McLean和Richard向Ybarra呼救,却没有被听到。紧要关头,McLean让Richard使用他的绳索爬到山顶。
写 作 指导
(2)分析所给段落首句,展开想象合理续写
续写第一段首句是:Richard发出紧急情况求救信号,Ybarra赶快去找McLean。根据本句及语境可预测本段可以描写Ybarra如何找到McLean以及McLean的情况。
续写第二段首句是:很快,一架直升机出现在他们头顶的上空。由此可知,本段主要写救援直升机开展营救工作的过程,他们最终安全脱险。

When Richard called an emergency rescue,Ybarra set out to find McLean.He moved to the cliff edge and shouted downward,“Are you OK,McLean ” But there was no answer. Ybarra retied his own rope and began dropping down the cliff.A moment later he heard a weak voice,“Help!I'm here.” Following the voice,he found McLean was lying on a shelf of rock in a lower place.He was hurt in both legs while jumping onto the rock for support and couldn't move.“We need to get you out of here.The emergency services have been called,” Ybarra comforted him.
Soon,a rescue helicopter appeared above their head. Ybarra waved his hands and the rescuers discovered them. Because of no site for the helicopter to land,a rescuer shouldered a backpack full of supplies and rappelled down the cliff.After reaching McLean and Ybarra,he checked McLean's wounds and gave him emergency treatment.Then the rescuer fastened McLean and himself onto the end of the rope. Together,they rose from the rock.After a short stay in the temporary spot,he was sent to the nearest hospital.Finally, they all left the valley safely before the storm.
名师点评
习作围绕文章的内容进行了合理的续写,紧扣语境,与原文内容浑然一体。第一段承接前文,通过moved to the cliff edge,shouted downward,retied his own rope,began dropping down the cliff等动作描写生动形象地记叙了寻找McLean的过程。此外,“Are you OK,McLean ”“Help!I'm here.”“We need to get you out of here.The emergency services have been called.”等直接引语的恰当使用,体现了对McLean的担忧,细致地刻画了他们之间的深厚情谊。第二段通过一系列动词的使用,如:waved,discovered,shouldered,checked,fastened,rose
等,准确地描述了营救的过程。情节曲折,扣人心弦。此外,习作中运用了不少高级词语与句式,如:heard a weak voice,lying on a shelf of rock in a lower place;非谓语动词:following the voice,for the helicopter to land,after reaching McLean and Ybarra等,增强了语言的表现力,使续写的情节更动人。

Deep in the forest,my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us.It was May,yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees,it did not dampen our spirits.Not once did we say, “Let's turn around.” This was our vacation,and we were on an adventure.Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometre hike,yet we were already walking a long distance.Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it.As my eyes scanned the surroundings,nothing looked familiar.My heart raced.I realised we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually,I am the calm one in the relationship,but my husband surprised me with his calmness.This did not comfort me;in fact,it heightened my fear.As we walked,I asked my husband to call for help,but there was no cell phone signal in this isolated area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road,and my heavy breathing.My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower.With each step on the road,my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened.I noticed everything around me:the trees,rocks and snow.I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water.For the first time in my life,I was ready and willing to get a ride,but we did not meet with a single car on the road.We focused on each other,made joint decisions and connected through gratitude.We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. ________________________________________

My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.In no time did we find ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere.We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone.As we approached, a sign came into sight,which read:Administration Office. However,it was not open for business.The empty hall made us nervous all at once.We stood there hopelessly,wondering what to do next.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “We're lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break.Seeing we were cold and hungry,she treated us with hot chocolate.After studying the map,we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometres away.She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly.I felt relieved to see our rental car again.What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!
