1.friends 考查名词复数。one of后跟可数名词复数,故本空应用friend的复数形式。
2.named 考查非谓语动词。本空作后置定语,修饰名词book,被修饰词book和动词name之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词named作定语。
3.to read 考查非谓语动词。can’t/couldn’t wait to do sth意为“迫不及待做某事”,故本空应用动词不定式。
4.astonished 考查形容词。本空在句中作表语,故应用形容词;根据句子主语he可知,本空应用形容词astonished,意为“感到惊讶的”。
5.a 考查冠词。空后名词note为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,故应用不定冠词a。
6.with 考查介词。fill…with…意为“用……填满……”,故本空应用介词with。
7.began 考查动词时态。根据上文时态及本句时间状语then可知,本句陈述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。
8.matters 考查动词时态和主谓一致。本句陈述客观事实,故应用一般现在时;连接代词what作主语,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故本空应填matters。
9.that/which 考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,修饰名词things,本空在从句中作主语,指物。故本空应用关系代词that或which。
10.positively 考查副词。本空修饰动词live,故应用副词positively。Unit 1 Growing up
As children, we all dream of what we want to be when we grow up. Often, many young children will say that they want to be actors, singers, pop stars or models. Some will say that they want to become teachers, firefighters, or police officers. Others want to be astronauts or scientists or explorers.
When I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I went to London Fashion Weekend and the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham and worked very hard at school to get good grades. Firstly, I applied to study fashion design at university. When I got there, I hated the courses.For some reason, which is still unknown to me, I no longer wanted to become part of the fashion industry.
I now study French.I’m twenty, which many children would say is “grown-up”, yet I still don’t know what I want to do when I finish university. This year, I have been working as a language assistant. Over the past seven months, I’ve taught English to hundreds of students. The best part, as clichéd as it may seem, has been seeing these students’ progress. At the start of the year, some students wouldn’t dare to say a word; now, it’s as though they’re different people. Wonderful as this experience has been, I’m still not convinced that I want to go into teaching. This summer, I have an internship with a publishing company. I’m really looking forward to trying out something new, and hopefully figuring out if it’s something I would like to do more of in the future.
I think that our choices can be heavily influenced by our parents. Some parents only want their children to study subjects like engineering, maths, science or medicine. Young people may be pressured into studying certain subjects, which can be stressful.
At the end of the day, there’s no rush to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. Many people change careers several times during their lifetime, so there’s always time to pursue a different career path!
【主题词句背诵】
1.grow up 长大

6.I’m really looking forward to trying out something new, and hopefully figuring out if it’s something I would like to do more of in the future.

as if(=as though)引导方式状语从句
句型公式
【句式点拨】
as if既可以引导方式状语从句,也可以引导表语从句,意为“仿佛,好像”。 as if 从句所表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性时,通常用陈述语气;当其所表示的情况不是事实,而是主观的想象或夸大性的比喻时,通常用虚拟语气,其从句时态变化如下:
与现在事实相反 从句用一般过去时(be动词用were)
与过去事实相反 从句用过去完成时(had+过去分词)
与将来事实相反 从句用“would/could/might+动词原形”结构
[温馨提示] as though/if引导状语从句时,若主、从句主语一致,且从句谓语有be动词时,从句中的主语和be动词常常可以省略,即“as though/if+形容词/名词/介词短语/分词/不定式”。如:
Jason paused as if/though (he was) expecting Lanny to speak.
贾森停了下来,好像在期待着兰尼讲话。
The bird was circling above us as if/though (it was) to express gratitude.
那只鸟在我们头顶盘旋,好像要表达感激之情。

强调谓语
句型公式
【归纳拓展】
(1)在英语中,常用do的适当形式来强调谓语动词,意为“的确,真的”。
(2)谓语动词只有两种时态能强调,即一般现在时和一般过去时。在一般现在时中,主语为第三人称单数时用does强调谓语动词,其余人称用do强调谓语动词;在一般过去时中,用did强调谓语动词。

[2024·湖南岳阳平江县高二期末]
Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our declining bond.
When I was growing up, moments with Mum were painfully short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school. We reunited only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly await my return, which would always lead to constant loving scenes. Those cherished moments were gradually vanishing as I moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense. She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn and old-fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back to life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness of ocean pollution. “It’s art, mum! Be more appreciative,” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid’s zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something sincere and beautiful.
“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that displayed our creations. “That one’s ours.” Mum went up and reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip inner innocence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, who like me, had lost a vital connection to responsibilities of motherhood.
“Our time together was like that of friends. You were my mother, and I were a child following you around,” my mum said to me with a smile.
( )1.What made Mum accept the visit to Singapore
A.The resolve to overcome the nervousness on flights.
B.The desire to restore the relationship with her children.
C.The sincere invitation of the author’s Singapore-based sister.
D.The expectation for Art Science Museum as an artist.
( )2.What is the attitude of Mum towards the Bruges Whale
A.She felt it a huge waste to make it from plastic.
B.She showed a great interest in this work of art.
C.She didn’t think it good enough to be exhibited.
D.She considered it beneficial to ocean protection.
( )3.What can we learn from the sketching activity
A.It revealed Mum’s inner ignorance like a girl.
B.It explored causes for the faded bond between families.
C.It let Mum totally lose responsibilities of motherhood.
D.It provided an opportunity to share moments with families.
( )4.What do Mum’s words imply in the last paragraph
A.A good medicine tastes bitter.
B.Life has indeed come full circle.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.

[2024·浙江嘉兴高二期末]
As humans, we’re meant to be social creatures. In fact, being socially connected is key to our mental and emotional health. 1. This can cause us to cut ourselves off from others and gradually become lonely. Social situations can seem frightening, but the truth is never quite so black-and-white.
People aren’t thinking about you—at least not to the degree that you think. 2. Just like you’re thinking about yourself, other people are thinking about themselves. They’re not spending their free time judging you, so stop wasting time worrying about what others think of you.
3. When you’re socially anxious, it can seem as though everyone else is fully confident. But that’s not the case. There are still many shy people out there struggling with the same self-doubts as you are. The next person you speak to is just as likely to be worried about what you think of them!
You don’t have to be perfect to be liked. In fact, our imperfections can be pleasant. 4. If you can cheerfully accept your awkwardness and imperfections, you’ll likely find that others will, too. They may even like you better for it!
It’s okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes; it’s part of being human. 5. Your value doesn’t come from being perfect. If you find self-forgiveness difficult, try to look at your own mistakes as you would those of a friend.
Overcoming social fear requires practice. Don’t expect to become socially comfortable without putting in the time. That said, you can start small. Take baby steps towards being more confident and social, and then build on those successes.
A.So give yourself a break when you mess up.
B.Most people are caught up in their own lives.
C.The good news is that you can learn from them.
D.People are much more confident than you think.
E.Even our weaknesses can bring us closer to others.
F.Many other people feel just as awkward and nervous as you do.
G.Yet many of us are shy and feel awkward around unfamiliar people.

Starting out & Understanding ideas
As children, we all dream of what we want to be when we
grow up. Often, many young children will say that they want to
be actors, singers, pop stars or models. Some will say that they
want to become teachers, firefighters, or police officers. Others
want to be astronauts or scientists or explorers.
When I was young, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I went
to London Fashion Weekend and the Clothes Show Live in
Birmingham and worked very hard at school to get good grades.
Firstly, I applied to study fashion design at university. When I got
there, I hated the courses. For some reason, which is still unknown
to me, I no longer wanted to become part of the fashion industry.
I now study French. I'm twenty, which many children would
say is “grown-up”, yet I still don't know what I want to do
when I finish university. This year, I have been working as a
language assistant. Over the past seven months, I've taught English
to hundreds of students. The best part, as clichéd as it may seem,
has been seeing these students' progress. At the start of the year,
some students wouldn't dare to say a word; now, it's as though
they're different people. Wonderful as this experience has been, I'm still not convinced that I want to go into teaching. This summer, I have an internship with a publishing company. I'm really looking forward to trying out something new, and hopefully figuring out if it's something I would like to do more of in the future.
I think that our choices can be heavily influenced by our
parents. Some parents only want their children to study subjects
like engineering, maths, science or medicine. Young people may be
pressured into studying certain subjects, which can be stressful.
At the end of the day, there's no rush to decide what you
want to do with the rest of your life. Many people change careers
several times during their lifetime, so there's always time to pursue
a different career path!

【句式点拨】
该句式意为“……足够……去做某事”,可以与so…that以及too…to进行转换。
【归纳拓展】
so…that以及too…to与enough to的转换
(1)当that引导的从句为肯定式时,若从句主语与主句主语相同,so…that可转换
为enough to结构;若从句主语与主句主语不相同,so…that可转换为enough
for sb to do sth结构。
当that引导的从句为否定式时,若从句主语与主句主语相同,so…that可转换为
enough to的否定结构;若从句主语与主句主语不相同,so…that可转换为

closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole
new adult world. 我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉，就好像我关上了童
年的门，走进了一个全新的成人世界。
句型公式
as if(=as though)引导方式状语从句
【句式点拨】
as if既可以引导方式状语从句,也可以引导表语从句,意为“仿佛,好像”。 as
if 从句所表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性时,通常用陈述语气;当其所表示
的情况不是事实,而是主观的想象或夸大性的比喻时,通常用虚拟语气,其从句时
态变化如下:
与现在事实相反 从句用一般过去时(be动词用were)
与过去事实相反 从句用过去完成时(had+过去分词)
与将来事实相反 从句用“would/could/might+动词原形”结构
［温馨提示］ as though/if引导状语从句时,若主、从句主语一致,且从句谓语
有be动词时,从句中的主语和be动词常常可以省略,即“as though/if+形容词/
名词/介词短语/分词/不定式”。如:
Jason paused as if/though (he was) expecting Lanny to speak.
贾森停了下来,好像在期待着兰尼讲话。
The bird was circling above us as if/though (it was) to express
gratitude.
那只鸟在我们头顶盘旋，好像要表达感激之情。

kind of commitment, and I do like my mom's cooking. 我知道我
可以得到一笔银行贷款来支付我自己公寓的押金,但我觉得我还没有准备好做出
那样的承诺,并且我确实喜欢我妈妈做的饭菜。
句型公式
强调谓语
【归纳拓展】
(1)在英语中,常用do的适当形式来强调谓语动词,意为“的确,真的”。
(2)谓语动词只有两种时态能强调,即一般现在时和一般过去时。在一般现在时
中,主语为第三人称单数时用does强调谓语动词,其余人称用do强调谓语动词;
在一般过去时中,用did强调谓语动词。

[2024·湖南岳阳平江县高二期末]
Last year, my Singapore-based sister insisted my mother and I
join her for the Christmas. My mum, a fearless woman, would get
strangely nervous on flights. Perhaps the only thing that convinced
her to overcome her fears was the chance to piece together our
declining bond.

When I was growing up, moments with Mum were painfully
short-lived because I spent most time at the boarding school. We
reunited only during the holidays. Every year, she would eagerly
await my return, which would always lead to constant loving
scenes. Those cherished moments were gradually vanishing as I
moved away for university. Soon, our relationship became tense.
She seemed unable to comprehend me and her stubborn and old-
fashioned advice forced me to shut myself. But the more I pulled
away, the more I felt a longing for the bond that had grown so
dim. Perhaps Singapore would give us a chance to breathe it back
to life.

I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum
would refresh my mother, who was an art student. However, I was
surprised when she just turned her nose up at the Bruges Whale, a
sculpture using plastic waste to raise awareness of ocean pollution.
“It's art, mum! Be more appreciative,” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her to the kid's
zone. We signed up for a joint sketching activity, hoping that
would help us connect. As our creative juices flowed, our faded
relationship began to take on the hues and shades of something
sincere and beautiful.

“Look!” she excitedly pointed towards a digital screen that
displayed our creations. “That one's ours.” Mum went up and
reached out, touching the fish as it moved its tail back and forth
in the virtual tank.
Looking around, I saw children sharing moments with their
parents, and my own childhood flashed back. That rare instance
where she let slip inner innocence and delight at a new experience
revealed the little girl in her, who like me, had lost a vital
connection to responsibilities of motherhood.

others think of you.
