回顾现在完成时构成、用法
have/has been to have / has gone to have/ has been in

The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville (开心农场)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”
The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It’s a good way for them to learn to be responsible.
Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don’t feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators.But how to extend（增加） your vocabulary
Through Context（语境）. When students in a college class were asked 1._____should be done when they came across(遇见) an unknown word in their reading, eighty-four 2._____(percent )said, “Look it up in the dictionary.”
But there’s another reason. If someone asks you what the word “fast” means. You answer, “speedy or swift”. But does it mean that in such context as “fast color” or “fast friend” After all, there are over twenty different 3.________(mean)for “fast” in the dictionary. 4._____the dictionary doesn’t tell you which meaning is intended. That’s why it makes such good sense to begin with context.
Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word “monolithic”5. ______example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix(前缀) mono-, meaning “one”, and the root(词根) –lith, meaning “stone”. Finally, there’s the suffix(后缀) –ic, meaning “consisting of”. Those three parts add up to this definition(定义): “consisting of one stone”.
To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in 6._____(this) few words are found in over 14,000 words. With those 7.______(amazing) useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail’s pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time.
Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not 8. ____(one). You’ve looked carefully at the context. You’ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What 9.____( exact) does that strange word mean Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with 10.____tentative (不确定的) definition(定义) should you open the dictionary to see if you’re right.
B
Do you know 1._______is special about November and June in the UK They are, possibly, the only two months with no school holidays. A newspaper 2.______ (recent)did a survey among a group of students. In the survey, 68 percent of the students said that their parents were at work in the school holidays. 73 percent said that they were bored during the school holidays and 35 percent said they were happy to go back to school! The3. ______ (result) of the survey show that not everybody wants to have many holidays.
If you don’t want to stay at home and get 4.______( bore), go out and take part in some interesting activities. A lot of schools organize various(各种各样的) trips during the holidays, 5._______(especial) when they have a one-week holiday. You have many 6.______ (choice)to make.
Many schools take groups of students to some training centres. There, students can learn a lot 7.______ outdoor activities. For example, students learn how to make a camp in the forest. They also learn more about wild animals and plants. At the same time, they are taught 8.______to find their way back to the centre.
In most towns, some other centres offer students different courses, such as computer game design, film making and painting. Students can also go 9._____(abroad)for school trips. They can practise their foreign languages and 10.________(experience) everyday life in different cultures.

All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted（收养）by a family in town who 2 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this short girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her 3 in with us There had to be a 4 .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 5 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 6 copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 7 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 8 . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster (海报)she had painted 9 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 10 . Could you help me, Suzy ”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s 11 were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

三、阅读理解
A
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece.
3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
5. It can be learn ed from the passage that ______.
A.one has to work hard to reach his goal
B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C.watermelon is the healthiest fruit
D.one should keep work-life balance(平衡)
B
请仔细阅读下列小题，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中，选出符合各小题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Dress for success
B. Offer positive （积极的）comments(评论)
C. Limit what you say
D. Focus on (专注)your abilities（能力）
E. Likability(好感度) matters
F. Ask for the job
Every year, millions of job hunters try their best to find a job they want. However, many of them fail, partly because they don’t have enough knowledge in dealing with job interviews(面试). Here are some of the suggestions that they should bear in mind when attending a job interview.
1. ______
When attending a job interview, try not to mention the family difficulty or trouble that you are facing right now, and focus on all the things that you are able to do in your future work.
2. ______
Before going to attend an interview, search for some information about the employees of that company: What kind of work are they mostly doing What kind of working clothes are preferred in their working conditions Are there any specific requirements or taboos for the clothes Prepare well and dress yourself properly in order to be considered professional at the first meeting.
3. ______
One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is that they don’t actually ask for the job. It might seem unnecessary. However, by asking for the job in the interview, the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity. By saying “my main goal is to be working for you”, you are actually demonstrating the type of interest and enthusiasm that any employer would like to hear form a candidate.
4. ______
When asked about your former(先前的) work experience, keep your comments about your former boss or colleagues very positive. Even if your former working conditions were really bad or that you didn’t get on well with your boss or colleagues, you are still supposed not to bite behind their backs. Otherwise, the interviewers may have the feeling that you will gossip or speak ill of them once they become your employers.
5. ______
In a real world interview, the personal connection established with the interviewer (i.e., does he or she like you) could be the key factor in determining your employment fate. In an interview, this personal connection is often established within the first five minutes of the interview, and while a positive connection will not necessarily result in a job offer, a negative connection will almost always result in rejection. The lack of likability was a major reason behind the firing of many interviewees who were not able to make a positive impression on their interviewers.

五、阅读理解
The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville (开心农场)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.
“To make the children self-reliant and develop friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea,” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”
The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It’s a good way for them to learn to be responsible.
Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don’t feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”
A parent said happily, “Through farming, they are learning to love the environment. They will learn a lot from these activities.”

New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators.But how to extend（增加） your vocabulary
Through Context（语境）. When students in a college class were asked 1._____should be done when they came across(遇见) an unknown word in their reading, eighty-four 2._____(percent )said, “Look it up in the dictionary.”
But there’s another reason. If someone asks you what the word “fast” means. You answer, “speedy or swift”. But does it mean that in such context as “fast color” or “fast friend” After all, there are over twenty different 3.________(mean)for “fast” in the dictionary. 4._____the dictionary doesn’t tell you which meaning is intended. That’s why it makes such good sense to begin with context.
Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word “monolithic”5. ______example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix(前缀) mono-, meaning “one”, and the root(词根) –lith, meaning “stone”. Finally, there’s the suffix(后缀) –ic, meaning “consisting of”. Those three parts add up to this definition(定义): “consisting of one stone”.
To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in 6._____(this) few words are found in over 14,000 words. With those 7.______(amazing) useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail’s pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time.
Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not 8. ____(one). You’ve looked carefully at the context. You’ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What 9.____( exact) does that strange word mean Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with 10.____tentative (不确定的) definition(定义) should you open the dictionary to see if you’re right.
B
Do you know 1._______is special about November and June in the UK They are, possibly, the only two months with no school holidays. A newspaper 2.______ (recent)did a survey among a group of students. In the survey, 68 percent of the students said that their parents were at work in the school holidays. 73 percent said that they were bored during the school holidays and 35 percent said they were happy to go back to school! The3. ______ (result) of the survey show that not everybody wants to have many holidays.
If you don’t want to stay at home and get 4.______( bore), go out and take part in some interesting activities. A lot of schools organize various(各种各样的) trips during the holidays, 5._______(especial) when they have a one-week holiday. You have many 6.______ (choice)to make.

三、阅读理解
A
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.

3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
5. It can be learn ed from the passage that ______.

请仔细阅读下列小题，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中，选出符合各小题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Dress for success
B. Offer positive （积极的）comments(评论)
C. Limit what you say
D. Focus on (专注)your abilities（能力）
E. Likability(好感度) matters
F. Ask for the job
Every year, millions of job hunters try their best to find a job they want. However, many of them fail, partly because they don’t have enough knowledge in dealing with job interviews(面试). Here are some of the suggestions that they should bear in mind when attending a job interview.
1. ______
When attending a job interview, try not to mention the family difficulty or trouble that you are facing right now, and focus on all the things that you are able to do in your future work.
2. ______
Before going to attend an interview, search for some information about the employees of that company: What kind of work are they mostly doing What kind of working clothes are preferred in their working conditions Are there any specific requirements or taboos for the clothes Prepare well and dress yourself properly in order to be considered professional at the first meeting.
3. ______
One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is that they don’t actually ask for the job. It might seem unnecessary. However, by asking for the job in the interview, the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity. By saying “my main goal is to be working for you”, you are actually demonstrating the type of interest and enthusiasm that any employer would like to hear form a candidate.
4. ______
When asked about your former(先前的) work experience, keep your comments about your former boss or colleagues very positive. Even if your former working conditions were really bad or that you didn’t get on well with your boss or colleagues, you are still supposed not to bite behind their backs. Otherwise, the interviewers may have the feeling that you will gossip or speak ill of them once they become your employers.
5. ______
In a real world interview, the personal connection established with the interviewer (i.e., does he or she like you) could be the key factor in determining your employment fate. In an interview, this personal connection is often established within the first five minutes of the interview, and while a positive connection will not necessarily result in a job offer, a negative connection will almost always result in rejection. The lack of likability was a major reason behind the firing of many interviewees who were not able to make a positive impression on their interviewers.
