Teachers should design the situation in which the following sentence is used:
I need a house in which I can live.
Then ask the students to say something about this sentence. “介词+which/whom”引导定语从句
“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句是一个难点,也是高考的重要考点。其中使用的关系代词一般是which,whom或whose,在句中既可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
一、关系代词的选择
先行词是物时,用“介词+which”;是人时,用“介词+whom”。介词后面的关系代词不能省略。which和whom通常作介词的宾语。如:
He bought a beautiful house on which he spent all his money.
他花掉所有的积蓄买了一套漂亮的房子。Period Three │ 语法归纳The gentleman about whom you told me yesterday proved to be a thief.
昨天你告诉我的那个绅士原来是个小偷。
二、介词的选择
1.根据定语从句修饰的先行词确定介词,其先行词往往是表示时间、地点、原因、方法、工具等的词,它们与介词之间有一定的联系。如:
This is the way in which we worked out the problem.
这就是我们做出那道题的方法。(先行词way意为“方法”,和介词in连用。)Period Three │语法归纳
【温馨提示】
当先行词是way的时候,我们可以使用in which或that引导定语从句。在这种情况下,in which或that也可以省略。如:
I did not like the way (in which/that) she talked to me.
我不喜欢她和我说话的方式。
2.根据定语从句中的形容词确定介词,其形容词与介词搭配,构成be动词之后的表语。如:
The two things about which he was not sure were the grammar and some of the idioms. (be sure about)
他没有把握的两件事是语法和一些习语。Period Three │语法归纳3.根据定语从句中的谓语动词确定介词,其动词与介词搭配,构成动词短语。如:
He's the model from whom we should learn.
他是我们学习的榜样。(learn from…向……学习)
The problem about which you argued just now has been solved.
你们刚才争论的问题已经解决了。(argue about sth 争论某事)
4.根据句子的意思确定介词。关系代词前的介词和从句的动词无搭配关系,只能根据上下文分析其意义,再决定介词。如:This is the pilot for whom I bought a camera.
这就是我给他买相机的那位飞行员。Period Three │语法归纳The scientist made a special telescope through which he could study the universe and stars.
那位科学家制作了一架特殊的望远镜,通过它可以研究宇宙和星体。
5.表示所属关系时,介词应用of,关系代词为which/whom,即“the+n.+of+which/whom”;表示“整体中的一部分”或“……中……的”,介词一般也用of。另外“不定代词或数词+of+which/whom”也可引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,说明整体中的部分。如:Period Three │语法归纳
The Greens have two daughters, both of whom are college students.
格林夫妇有两个女儿,她们都是大学生。
China has many rivers, the longest of which is the Yangtze River.
中国河流众多,其中最长的是长江。Period Three │语法归纳
三、关系代词的替换
1.某些在从句中充当时间、地点或原因状语的“介词+关系代词”结构可以同关系副词when, where和why互换。如:
I'll never forget the day on which(=when)I joined the army.
我永远也忘不了我参军的那一天。
The factory in which(=where)his father works is faraway from my hometown.
他父亲工作的那家工厂离我的家乡很远。
I don't know the reason for which (=why)he was late for school.
我不知道他为何上学迟到。Period Three │语法归纳
2.“the+n.+of which”或者“of which+the+n.”,可转换为“whose+n.”,whose或of which在定语从句中作定语。如:
He lives in a room, the window of which faces west.
=He lives in a room, whose window faces west.
他住的房间的窗子朝向西。
The building is a hotel, of which the roof we can see from here.
=The building whose roof we can see from here is a hotel.
从我们这儿望得见屋顶的那座房子是一个旅馆。Period Three │语法归纳
四、注意不能拆开的动词短语
有些动词短语不能拆开使用,这样的动词短语常用的有:look after, look for, take care of, depend on, listen to等。如:
The babies (whom/that/who)the nurses are looking after are very healthy.
保育员正在照看的婴儿都很健康。
Is this the book (which/that)she is looking for?
这是她正在找的那本书吗?Period Three │语法归纳
五、特殊句式
“介词+which(指物)/whom(指人)”在定语从句中作地点状语,表示存在关系,从句主谓常要倒置。如:
They arrived at a farm house, in front of which sat a small boy.
他们来到一家农舍,农舍前边坐着一个小男孩。
I saw a man, on the head of whom stood a bird.
我看到一个人,他头上站着一只鸟。Period Three │语法归纳

Musical miracles
Those words captured my imagination eight years ago as a wake-up call for me to act on a great vision of reciprocity(相互性,互惠)and responsibility—a vision of caring. With dedication, and purposeful and direct use of my单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读talents, I learned that I could sound an alarm to cause people to pay attention to the condition of children extremely ill with neurological(神经性的)diseases.
①I realized that I didn't need to wait until medical school to make a difference in their lives. I could put my talents as a violinist to work by performing concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Centre, in halls across the country and the globe, and raise money for these children.
I have tried to be honest about the things that matter to me.②And so I have made it my life goal to raise funds for medical organizations, hospitals, and cutting-edge research单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读targeting neurological diseases, and to inspire and enable young charitarians and musicians to participate in benefit concerts for a cure all across the globe—saving lives through music.
I spend time each month speaking at medical conferences to provide visibility for the pain of desperately ill children. My colleagues and I have spent many weekends performing room to room in hospitals after full days at Juilliard School.
I remember a meeting I had when I was seven with a world-famous pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr Fred Epstein单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读 resulted in a personal epiphany(顿悟,显灵)for me. He took me on a tour of the pediatric(小儿科的)ICU that exposed me for the first time to children suffering from incurable diseases. I left determined to bring them some measure of peace, enjoyment, a little contagious enthusiasm, and a reminder of what's outside that ICU.
Extraordinary things can happen if the arts and medicine
join forces. A life can be saved somewhere in the world with the purchase of tickets to a concert for a cure, or funding cutting-edge research, supplying musical therapy services, the单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读 purchase of medical equipment, providing home-care services. ③In these ways, the young entrepreneurial charitarians of our generation, along with the great talents of our time, can come together and create a youthquake: changes in the field of health care that we have only dreamt about.
I have a mission to demonstrate that the humanity of charitable works is not something reserved for adults. Through medicine and music, I attempt to say: I am 16 years old and I am responsible for my peers. What happens to one of us affects us all. I've only just begun to learn how to care.单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读【典句赏析】

You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants.You probably know the rules of a library.You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates.But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music.You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it.Some people might even get angry.Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song.They just hear a loud sound.No one wants to listen to this.Very loud music can also be bad for your ears.So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away.Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players.There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on.Sometimes, it doesn't make sense(无意义) to listen on your MP3 player.Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other.Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way.It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening.You can also do this when you order food at a fast food restaurant or when you answer the telephone.
It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best.For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing.In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
1.The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.the amount of a sound
B.the length of a song
C.the type of music
D.the colour of an MP3 player
2.We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music________.
A.may annoy others B.can hurt our ears
C.is bad for MP3 players D.will make us tired
3.If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ________.
A.the theatre won't allow it
B.the actors will get angry
C.others won't hear the play well
D.we may miss part of the play
4.The main idea of this passage is about ________.
A.music lovers B.music manners
C.music players D.MP3 earphones
B
Even when you're extremely busy, you aren't using your time with 100% efficiency.There are gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important.Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.
Why aren't you completely efficient? It's because time isn't the limiting factor.If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣).Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention.Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done.Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.
You might not be able to insert another 4~5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices(牺牲).But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything.The reason why it's hard to “find time” isn't a lack of time.It's because you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago.I was extremely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly.I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise.However, after a few weeks off, because of illness, I stopped exercising.I was not busy by any standards. In fact, my schedule was very light.Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise.It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone.How can I explain this strange experience? I believe you have known it.
1.If someone can't work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.
A.a schedule without gaps
B.breaks and distractions
C.the limited time
D.the limited energy
2.According to Paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ________.
A.work without any rest
B.focus on many things at a time
C.find some more time in a day
D.do some exercise regularly
3.The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ________.
A.prove what the real limiting factor is
B.show us how busily he needs to work
C.explain how important a healthy body is
D.tell us what a strange experience he has

Ⅱ.阅读理解
We don't know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand, our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Travelling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will, of course, change, too.We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS.Therefore, our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them.We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.
1.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B.Because people won't communicate with each other much often.
C.Because people won't like making friends with each other.
D.Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
2.According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?
A.It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C.The relationship between people will be more important than today.
D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
3.The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.
A.disappointed B.optimistic
C.curious D.surprised
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How people will communicate in the year 2050.
B.What high technology will appear in the year 2050.
C.How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050.
D.What our life will be like in the year 2050.

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. And then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the play starts. The person on the other end has a sad tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Yon are still in a wonderful mood(心情)? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel unhappy for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are trapped in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. It is not strange that they can hardly win others' pity or respect.
When you communicate with happy people,you will stay happy. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this situation, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this cannot reduce your bad feelings and they won't feel ashamed(羞愧) of themselves about that.
Unhappiness often influences happiness without even being realized. The depressing(令人沮丧的) words of another at the start of the day can be with you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel unhappy.
5.The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A.make a comparison(比较) B.offer an evidence(证据)
C.introduce a topic D.describe a daily scene
6.How can negative people have an effect on us?
A.By influencing our feelings.
B.By telling people the nature of life.
C.By changing our way of thinking.
D.By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
7.Some negative people base their happiness on ________.
A.other people's pity for them B.making other people unhappy
C.holding an active attitude D.other people's respect for them
8.According to the passage, to reduce negative people's effect on us, we are advised ________.
A.to change negative people's attitude to life

Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life,” Dr Marie Savard said.

Peter and John are really singing for their supper. The self taught singers to say they are desperate to win to make a better life for themselves and their mother. Due to a lack of finances, Peter and John couldn't finish school as they were kicked out in Grade Nine. Before the competition, they performed at several small competitions, and with that income were able to put bread on the table.
“We know what it is like to go to bed hungry because we've done it so many times. Our mum is unemployed but always did her best, so we would like to win this thing to make a better life for her too,” says Peter.
Then there's Van Canvin Wyk, a waiter from Franschhoek in Cape Town. The 21-year-old was raised by his aunt and grandmother. Van Wyk told the audience and judges that both his aunt and grandmother had passed away and he had to drop out of school to look for a job to support his two young siblings. He devoted his dance performance to his two “mothers”.
Then there is Domkop & Clowns—Fikile Mphore, Levy Makola and Samuel Mokati—from the Free State. The group is clearly not here to clown around. They are not sure they are in it to win. Mphore, the founder of the group, says because he's not too bright, his schoolmates gave him the nickname Domkop. Mphore says he started by watching cartoons, then taking a doll and creating a puppet based on what he saw on TV, then making up songs to fit their actions.
“Many people like what we do and believe we can win this thing. If we do win, I want to go back to school and become brighter, especially in English, and also learn to make what we do for a business,” he says.
Their aim is also to promote a clean and green lifestyle by using recycled material for their puppets.

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I'm 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
Take care of your body.
Life is “unfairly” biased (偏向的) towards people who “look good”, like it or not. So it's important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. __16__ You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
__17__
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately, I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like The Millionaire Next Door. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty per cent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
Think in the long term.
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I'm designing my life and I'm making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I'm in my 40's, 50's and 60's. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the “ big picture”.__18__
Realize the power of focus.
Focus, focus, focus…__19__ If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions(使人分心的事).__20__Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical(极重要的) to their goals.
A.Save your money.
B. The importance of saving.
C. If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
D. I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
E. It's critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.
F. Nothing is more critical than focus.
G. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals.

The__36__thing Caitlyn noticed about the teenager was the fact that his arms were __37__. He would have had a hard time__38__the door.
