课本原句:Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn for centuries.
现在完成进行时:结构为have/has been doing,指动作从过去开始,一直持续到现在,强调现在还在进行。而现在完成时的结构为have / has done,强调完成。请比较下面两个例句:
e.g. I have been waiting for two hours. How soon will you arrive (“等待”还在进行)
— Sorry, I’m late.
— It doesn’t matter. I’ve just waited for ten minutes. (“等待”已结束)
课本原句:Whoever took this could live forever.
此句是whoever引导的主语从句,属于名词性从句,= Anybody who took this medicine could live forever, 即whoever可以换成anybody who,who引导定语从句,修饰先行词anybody。此时,whoever不能改成no matter who。同理,当whatever可以换成anything that时,也不能改成no matter what。No matter who / what引导的是让步状语从句,而whoever / whatever能引导让步状语从句和名词性从句。
e.g. I can do whatever I like.
= I can do anything that I like(whatever不能换成no matter what)
Whoever breaks the rule must be punished.
= Anybody who breaks the rule must be punished. (whoever不能改成no matter who)
Whatever you do, remember to try your best. = No matter what you do, remember to try your best.
Whoever you go with, be prepared first. = No matter who you go with, be prepared first.
课本原句:Hou Yi laid out her favorite fruits in the gardens.
lay,动词,有两个含义,“下蛋;放置”,其变化形式是:lay – laid – laid,注意要和lie的变化形式区别,lie也有两个含义:
“撒谎”,名词或动词,规则变化
e.g. tell a lie You lied to me again!
(2)“躺,卧”,动词,不规则变化,lie – lay –lain
e.g. What would you do if you saw a man lying on the roadside
He lied to me that his rooster lay in the bush and laid an egg.
4. 课文原句:How he wished that Chang’e could come back.
wish后跟宾语从句,通常要用虚拟语气:宾语从句如果是与现在的事实相反,就用一般过去时;如果是与过去的事实相反,就用过去完成时;与将来的事实相反,就用过去将来时。
e.g. I wish that I were you!
I wish that I hadn’t listened to his advice then.
I wish that he would come back soon.
5.课文原句:A famous tradition involves the dropping of a big ball in New York’s Times Square.
Involve v.包含;使成为必然部分;涉及;牵连;使参与。在不同的语境中,有不同的翻译,其核心意思为“包含其中”。

Our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was preparing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on her apron (围裙) , she read it, and this is what was said:

For all the nights that were filled with fear and for the worries I knew were ahead, No Charge. For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping up your nose There is No Charge.
And when you add it all up, the full cost of real love is, No Charge, Son.

DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In I860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called "genes"(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They're written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞)to build its parts. This meant that one day that we would be able to read all the messages that a human body gets from its parents’ bodies. Scientists have now found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one "word" means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people: Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.
( ) 41.What did the two scientists find in 1961 They found ______.
all the words in the DNA map
B. small things called "genes" in our body
C. the first "word" they could understand in that language
D. those small parts arc written in the DNA with a special language
( ) 42. How can we help sick people if we understand more "words" in the DNA map
A. Make better medicine. B. Make them get jobs.
C. Make maps for them. D. Make them attractive.
( ) 43. Which one is not true according to the article
A. We look like our parents because of "genes" in our body.
B. We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.
C. DNA is the whole "map" of the human body. D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.
( ) 44. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word
A. 健康 B. 智慧 C. 迷人 D. 高尚
( ) 45. What do people think about this research about DNA
A. It can be only bad. B. It can be only good.
C. It can be good but won't work. D. It can be good and bad

An old saying goes, ”When in Rome(罗马),do as the Romans do.” I learned the 46 of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were 47 from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We had a warm chat until the waiter told me that we were being too loud. We turned our voices 48 .But this didn’t last long. The waiter came over to us two more 49 with the same message.
How bad an impression( 印象)we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s 50 and important for a host to make a 51 atmosphere(气氛).However, in Russia and 52 countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our 53 , it’s very difficult to develop a new habit.
Russians have their own special habits. My Russia friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “in Russia, people always take about a minute 54 over things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won’t leave anything necessary behind.”
Finding the 55 between cultures is much fun. I’d like to keep my eyes and mind open.
