要点精析
1. population n.人口，人口数量
【点拨】
（1）.population是一个集合名词。常与the连用，做主语的时候，谓语动词常用第三人称单数形式。
例如：The world’s population is becoming larger and larger .全世界人口越来越多了。
（2）当主语表示“人口的百分之几或几分之几”时，谓语动词用复数形式。
例如：About 70 percent of the population in China are farmers .中国大约有百分之七十的人口是农民。
（3）表示人口的“多”或“少”，不用much或little，要用large或small。
例如：India has a large population . Singapore has a small population .印度的人口多。新加坡的人口少。
（4）询问某国、某地有多少人口时，不用“How much… ”而用“How large… ”,在问具体人口时，用“What’s … ”
例如：what’s is the population of Canada 加拿大的人口有多少？
【活学活用】--______the population of the Chinese workers who are working in Africa now –About a couple of millions .
A. What are B. What is C. How much is D. How much are
【答案】B
2. include v.包括，包含
【点拨】include在句子中充当谓语。
例如：The price for the hotel includes breakfast .酒店的价格包括早餐。
【拓展】including prep.包含，包括
在日常的运用中一般和其后的名词或代词形成介宾短语，意为“包括……在内”。
例如：There are 40 students in the classroom , including me .教室里有40名学生，包括我。
【活学活用】
My favorite subjects include English , Chinese and Physics .
succeed v.实现目标，成功
【点拨】succeed (in) doing sth 成功做成某事
例如：They succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain .他们成功地到达了山顶。
【拓展】success n.成功；successful adj.成功的；successfully adv.成功地
【活学活用】
If we believe we could be successful , we will finish our task successfully at last .(success)
3.China is almost as big as the US .中国几乎和美国一样大。
[点拨] 同级比较的句型：A＋动词(not)＋as＋原级＋as＋B。
注意：第一个as是副词，第二个as是连词。在否定结构中，第一个as可以为so，意为“……不如……”。如：
He isn't so/as smart as me.他不如我聪明。
【活学活用】
(　　)1.He doesn't play the violin so ________ as his father.
A．good　　　　B．better C．well D．best
[解析] C　“not so… as” 中间应该用形容词或副词的原级，根据句意这里应该是修饰play，故应该填副词。
(　　)2.—Who did English homework better, Leo or Nick
—Leo was more careful. I think Leo did ________ Nick.
A．as good as　　B．as well as C．better than D．worse than
[答案] C
4. Did you know that China is one of the oldest countries in the world 你知道中国是世界上最古老的国家之一吗？

One of the strangest jobs at the Oscars is that of a seat filler. When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom，a seat filler sits in the star's seat. That way，the TV cameras won't show any empty seats. Kathy Miller talks about her night as a seat filler.

The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then，when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette(香烟)，we were told to go and sit in their seat.
(C)The_show_was_three_hours_long，and I only sat down five times. By the end，I was really tired. But I was happy, because during the evening I sat behind Jim Carrey(he's very tall！)and close to Denzel Washington，Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night，but I think(D)______year I'll watch the Oscars on TV at home like everyone else!

Ⅳ.阅读理解
June came and the hottest month of the year began. A lot of travelers came to the city by the sea. All of the hotels were full except Mr Johnson's. The prices of all the rooms were the lowest in the city but few people stayed there. The fire(火灾)broke out three times in a year and four travelers died in the accidents. Most workers left there and found jobs in the other hotels. Mr Johnson had to do most work himself.
It was eleven o'clock. Most rooms were still empty. Mr Johnson worked for the whole day and was very tired. He went to close the gate when a young man came in, with a big bag in his hand.
“What can I do for you, sir？” asked Mr Johnson.
“The cheapest room in your hotel.”
“OK，” said Mr Johnson, “but it's on the top floor.”
“It doesn't matter. I think you have a lift in your hotel.”
“Of course, sir，” said the manager. “It will take you right there. By the way, may I keep your bag for you？”
“No, thanks. There's nothing expensive in it but a long rope.”
“Oh What do you bring it with you for？”
“I'm afraid another fire will happen in your hotel. If it does, I'll throw the rope out of the window so that I'll be able to escape from(逃脱)it.”
“Yes？” Mr Johnson said in surprise. “So you have to pay for the bill before you go to your room.”
(　　)1.Most workers left the hotel because ________.
A．Mr Johnson paid them less
B．it was dangerous to work for Mr Johnson
C．some travelers stayed there
