语法巩固
I.单项选择
D 这是一道非限制性定语从句题。所缺空格为关系代词作主语，来代替后面整个句子。 当定语从句位于句首时，不用which。
2. D 这是一道非限制性定语从句题。先行词为evening,在从句中作介词about的宾语。
3. D 这是一道非限制性定语从句题。先行词为two buildings, 在从句中作介词of的宾语。
4. B 名词way后面的定语从句通常有三种形式，即：the way that/in which/×.
5. C 本题考察定语从句。先行词为the English party , 在从句中作介词in的宾语，等于my students acted in the English party at the New Year’s party.
6. C 此句中，business应翻译成“公司”，所以句意为：我在一家公司工作，在那儿差不多每个人都等待机会。关系副词作状语。
7. B 解题时，可以去掉句中的just the name suggests 部分，因为它只是起到了插入干扰的作用， 这样再把前后连你来的时候，就会很清楚地看出来，这是一道关系副词where引导的定语从句。
8. C 本题考察定语从句和表语从句。第一空考察定语从句，现行词the place在从句中作介词宾语。第二空考察表语从句，连词where在从句中作地点状语。本句的意思是“桥梁应修建的地方应该是在过桥交通最繁忙的地方。”
D 本题考察定语从句。先行词friends在从句中作介词宾语，等于some of the friends are businessmen.
B 本题考察定语从句。先行词one 在从句中动词词组turn to 的宾语，关系代词whom被省略。

13. A 本题考察定语从句, 该句是非限制性定语从句，先行词为1999 to 2003 是指一段时间，使用介词during. 从句等于During that time, he studied very hard and was made Chairman of the Students’ Union. which time 代替1999 to 2003.关系代词which限定名词time, 而不是做定语，因此C项是错误的。
14. D 本题考察非限制性定语从句.关系代词which 在从句中作宾语。此句先行词为sister.从句的意思是：她想让她成为一个律师。（She wants her sister to be a lawyer.） 在非限制性定于从句中which也可以指人，等于whom。
15. A 本题考察动词sound的用法，sound 可作实意动词使用，意思为“发出声音；弄响，吹响；按响；发出声音以表示”。sound还可以用作联系动词，意思为“听起来…”。联系动词没有被动形式，也不用能用进行时态，属于状态动词, 这个句子的意思是：我并不想让别人听起来我在说人的坏话，但是经理的打算不公正。

III..阅读理解
1.C 本题为细节理解题。文章中有这样两段话：An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams. 作者是一位世界举重冠军，Mathew非常渴望见到他，因为当世界冠军也是他的梦想，所以Mathew 对作者十分崇拜。
2.C本题为细节理解题。根据文章第三节内容，Mathew知道自己的病情，但是他和作者交谈时，一直谈的是如何实现自己的梦想， 而丝毫没有对自己患有这种病产生任何抱怨，表明了Mathew对人生积极向上的乐观态度。
3.A 本题为推理判断题。从医生两次断言和他拒绝作者的金牌，我们可以看到Mathew是一个有坚强毅力的孩子。
4.B本题为推理判断题。从Mathew把作者挂在他脖子上金牌取下来，表明要自己去获得，我们可以感受到，他不想得到别人的怜悯。
5. A 细节题。 根据第一段我们知道作为一个科学家，科学和研究在居里夫人心中的位置非常重要。
6。D. 判断题。 居里夫人和希腊的国王都是名人，居里夫人的朋友想让他们见一下，说明她的朋友对名人感兴趣。
7.B 判断题。 居里夫人的朋友想让居里夫人在宴会上见一下希腊的国王， 其目的就是想以此来炫耀自己。
8.D.判断题。通读整篇文章，我们知道居里夫人注重的是科学研究而不是名誉和地位。我们应该关注的是工作和学习。
9.C 细节题。根据文章第二段中的一句话，“But the most popular theory maintains (主张)that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories.”我们知道成年人和儿童的思维方式不一样，因此成年人不能进入儿童的记忆。
10.D词义判断题。根据 "hippocampus"后面的同位语，“ the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories”我们可直到它是指大脑中负责记忆形成的一个区域，叫做“海马状突起”。
11.A 判断题。作者之所以用这个例子，就是想以此来说明成人的记忆方式和小孩的不一样。成人用词汇来思维，而小孩主要是通过模仿的方式来谈论他们的经历或听别人谈论他们。
12.A 细节题。根据文章最后一句，“Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.”我们可知道没有词汇方面的强化，儿童对自己的个人经历不会长久的记住。
IV. 短文改错

2．Relative clauses (III)
Defining and non-defining clauses
定语从句主要用来修饰它前面的先行词（名词或代词）的从句，所以又称形容词从句。根据与先行词的关系，定语从句可分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句对所修饰词的意思加以限制，表示“….的人（事物）。非限制性定语从句对所修辞没有限制意义的作用，而只补充一点情况，与主句关系不紧密，把它们拿掉，主句照样成立。它们和所修饰的名词之间常加一个逗号，译成汉语时另起一个句子，仿佛是并列句。定语从句主要考查引导定语从句的关系代词和关系副词；介词＋引导词以及非限制性定语从句。具体考点如下： 考点一：引导定语从句的引导词有关系代词（who, whom, which, that, whose，as）和关系副词( when, where, why)等。但是当下列情况出现时，对引导词有特殊要求。
1.当先行词是all, everything, nothing, something, little, much时；当先行词
被all, no, some, any, every, a few, a little, much, only, very修饰时；当先
行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰时，定语从句的引导词用that。例：
All that you want are here.你需要的全在这儿。
There is no person that doesn’t make mistakes. 没有人不犯错误。
This is the best film that I have ever seen.这是我看过得最好一部电影。
2.“the same ...as”, such...as”中的as可以指人或物。
例：
Such furniture as is very popular is expensive.像那样的流行家具很贵。
We have successfully done the same experiment as you did.我们和你们一样成功
地做了这个试验。 3.why引导表示原因的定语从句，其先行词一般是reason。当主句主语是reason时，
作主句表语的成分不能有because和because of。其结构一般为the reason why…is
that…，或者the reason that…is that…，如：
He did not tell us the reason why he was late again.他没告诉我们他又迟到的
原因。
The reason why（that）he didnt come is that he was ill.他没来的原因是他病了。
4.当定语从句为there be句型时，关系代词只能用that。
This is the fastest train that there is to Beijing.这是开往北京的特快列车。
5.当主句是以which或who开头的特殊疑问句时，关系代词只能用that。 Who is the girl that is talking with Mr. Brown.和布朗先生谈话的那个女孩是谁？
6.如果出现两个或两个以上的先行词，并同时兼指人和物时，关系代词用that。
We are talking about the people and countries that we have visited。我们在
谈论我们参观的国家和拜访的人。
考点二：在“介词+which/whom”的结构中，介词的选择取决于三种情况：
1.定语从句中谓语动词或表语的搭配；
This is the college in which I am studying.这就是我在学习的大学。
He is the man about whom we are talking.他就是我们在谈论的人。
2.先行词与介词的习惯搭配； 当先行词表示“领域、方面”时，如：aspect, respect, area, field等，用in which；
当先行词表示“价格、利率、速度”时，如：rate, price, speed等，用at which；
当先行词表示“程度”时，如：degree, extent等，用to which；
当先行词表示“根据、依据、基础”时，如：grounds, foundation, basis等，用on
which；
The speed at which the machine operates is shown on the meter.
仪表上显示出这台机器的运转的速度。
It is useful to be able to predict the extent to which a price change will affect supply and demand. 能够预测价格如何影响供需是很有用的。
3.当定语从句为最高级时只能用of which;否则用其他介词
I have five dictionaries ，of which Longman Dictionary is the best.我有五部字典， 朗曼是最好的。
I have five dictionaries ，among which Longman Dictionary is published in UK.
我有五部字典，朗曼是在英国出版的字典之一。
注意：不可拆分的动词短语介词不能提前，如put up with；有的短语可能有不同的介词搭配，此时需要根据上下文来确定。如：be familiar with / to ; compare with / to . 考点三：当先行词为表示时间的名词（如：time, day, year, week, month, occasion）或地点的名词（如：place, room, city, country）时，一般用关系副词when和where.分别相当于in which, at which, on which。但是当这些表示时间或地点的名词作从句的宾语时，则要用关系代词that或which.
I cant forget the days when(in which) I lived with you.我不能忘记和你在一起居住的日子。
Can you tell me the day when (on which) the first satellite was sent into space? 你能告诉我第一颗人造卫星是什么时候上天的？
China is the only country where(in which ) wild pandas can be found.中国是唯一能发现大熊猫的地方。
I’ll never forget the village where I spent my childhood.我将永远不会忘记我度过童年的那个村庄。
I will never forget the days that (which) I spent in Beijing University. 我将永远不会忘记我在北大度过的日子。(本句days作spend的宾语，故用关系代词that / which )
I have never been to Beijing, but it’s the place that I most want to visit.我没去过北京，但是它是我最向往的地方。(本句place作visit的宾语。)
考点四：非限定性定语从句不能用that引导,一般用引导词which/as或who/whom（指人），非限定性定语从句既可以修饰主句的部分内容，也可修饰主句的全部内容。as引导的非限定性定语从句既可以放在主句之前，也可以放在主句之后，但which或who引导的非限定性定语从句不能放在主句前面。若主句与从句内容上不一致，或从句对主句内容起反对、排斥、否定等作用时，多用which;而as只能用于主句和从句内容一致时。
She has married again, as was expected. 她又结婚了，这是大家意料中的事。
She has married again, which was unexpected. 她又结婚了, 真没想到。
As we all know, the moon is a satellite of the earth.我们都知道，月球是地球的卫星。
The large area is covered with thick snow, which affects people’s life greatly.大面积的地方有积雪，这样给人们的生活带来极大的不便。

IV.阅读理解
A
After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌营养不良). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.
When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles that ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that, too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Fame troubled Marie Curie and also her husband, because science was their world and in their world of science fame and honor had no value.
One day, when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her belief, she answered him, “In science we must be interested in things, not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman is found in these few words, which she was later often to repeat. One evening, at a big party, a friend asked if she would like to see the king of Greece, who was also a guest. She answered in her simple manner, “I don’t see the value of it.” Then, seeing that she had hurt the feeling of her friend, she quickly added, “But…but…of course, I shall do whatever you please, just as you please.

What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain（保持）any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists（心理学家） for this "childhood amnesia"( 记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张)that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access（接近） childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent（永久的，持久的） memories of their personal experiences.
9.According to the passage, it is widely believed that _____.
A. it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiences
B. adults and children have different brain structures
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
10.The word "hippocampus" probably means___________.
A. a research center engaged in the study of human brains
B. a psychological research department of a university
C. a miniature (tiny)campus formulated in one's childhood memory
D. a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories
11."Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that_______.
A. adults and children have different memory patterns
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. Chinese and English are totally different languages
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
12.According to Annette Simms,_______________.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand
