1.They all have their own characteristics,but they all share the spirit of creativity and scientific skill that has made Zhongguancun a success.(Unit 11)
①make+n.1+n.2相当于make+n.2+of n.1，意思为“使成为；使作为”。
e.g.The Party has made him a staunch communist.=The Party has made a staunch communist of him.
②success可以作可数名词，表示“成功者；达到目的的人或成功的事”。
e.g.Of her plays,three were successes and one was a failure.He wasn’t a success as a teacher.
2. Not all the new companies can succeed.(Unit 11)
①部分否定：代词或副词如all,both,every,everybody,every day, everyone, many, everything, entirely,altogether,completely,everywhere,always等与not搭配使用时，表示部分否定，意思是“并非都是，不是每个都是”等。

6.It was with these feelings that I began the creation of a human being.(Unit 12)
It was on a night in November that I looked at the result of my work.(Unit 12)

7.注意：Units 11~12语法提示：构词法
Ⅲ.好题——高考范题精讲
【例1】 (NMET 2004,上海,43)Why!I have nothing to confess._____________ you want me to say
A.What is it that B.What it is that
C.How is it that D.How it is that
解析：本题在疑问句中考查强调句式的应用。解该题时，可将句子变换成肯定句，这样更容易分辨出句子的结构。肯定句式应为It is what that you want me to say.其中what应该作say的宾语，句子强调了这个宾语，并对其进行提问，增加了选择的难度。
答案：A
【例2】 (NMET 2004,北京,21)I invited Joe and Linda to dinner,but _____________ of them came.
A.neither B.either
C.none D.both
解析：该题考查全部否定。通过but的转折含义可以判断出所邀请的人都没来；none否定三个或三个以上的人或事物，而neither指的是对两者进行全部否定。
答案：A
【例3】 (NMET 2004,福建,32)—I’ll tell Mary about her new job tomorrow.
—You _____________ her last week.
A.ought to tell B.would have told
C.must tell D.should have told
解析：该题考查不同的情态动词后接动词完成式时的不同含义。“should have+动词完成式”表示过去本来应该做但是没有做的事情。对比“知识网络构建”一栏中第5条，把它们的意义区分清楚。
答案：D
【例4】 (NMET 2004,福建,65)Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting” used in the passage (附原文：A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of（证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.)
A.Carrying goods in a lift for a shop.
B.Taking goods to the ladies’ toilet.
C.Selecting some goods from a display.
D.Taking goods from a shop without paying.
解析：该题考查构词法的知识。对于该词词义的判断可以根据上下文给出的信息词，如：convicted等；也可以根据构词法的知识来解决。shoplifting为一合成词，其中lift在口语中可以表示“偷”的含义，因此可以判断出该词的意思应该是“在商店进行行窃”。
答案：D
【例5】 (NMET 2004,74)The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _____________.(附原文：Finally,although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job,recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.)
A.keep for some time
B.successfully get
C.immediately start
D.lose regretfully
解析：该题考查构词的一种方法—转化法。很多词通过词类的转化获得新的意思或用法。land这一名词常转化成动词来使用。在本题中land作为动词有一个引申意义，意思是“获得”。
答案：B

A
In the Caucasus(高加索) region of the Soviet Union,nearly 50 out of every 100 000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday,and many don’t stop at 100!By comparison,in American only 3 people out of 10 000 reach 100.But these Soviet old people aren’t alone.The Pakistani Hunzas,who live in the Himalaya Mountains and the Uilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador,seem to share the secret of long life,too.These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time.While many elder persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s,some Georgians,aged 110 to 140,work in the fields beside their great great grand children.Even the idea of aging is foreign to them,when asked,“at what age does youth end ”most of these old people had no answer.Several replied,“well,perhaps at 80”,the very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well First of all,hard physical work is a way of life for all these long lived people.They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work.They all come from mountains regions.This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health `of these people is their isolation（隔绝）.To a great extent,they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.Inherited（遗传）factors also play some role.
46.Why does the writer mention some long lived people in the first paragraph
A.To surprise his readers.
B.To introduce the subject of the article.
C.To tell you the difference between people in the Soviet Union and America.
D.To tell you why Americans don’t live as long as other people.
解析：该题考查写作的常规技巧。第一段的实例列举完以后，第二段接着提出问题What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well
答案：B
47.How many factors that contribute to long life of the people are mentioned in the article
A.One. B.Two.
C.Three. D.Four.
解析：该题为细节题。文中列举得很清楚。
答案：D
48.Whom does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 2
A.Old people in the Soviet Union.
B.The Pakistani Hunzas.
C.All of the long lived people.
D.Some Georgians.
解析：根据上一个句子可以判断出来。
答案：C
49.From the writer’s viewpoint,industrial society _____________.
A.is highly developed and beneficial to people
B.is a great advance in human history
C.is full of pressures and therefore bad for people’s health
D.should be replaced by isolated environment because it is bad for people’s health
解析：与长寿人群生活环境所不同的情况便是在工业化国家里人们的生活环境压力大,长寿的人数量相对较少。
答案：C
50.Which of the following is true according to the article
A.It is beneficial for people to be isolated.
B.People should learn to relax themselves from high pressures of life in industrial society.
C.The more hard physical work you do,the more healthy you will be.
D.The more remote areas you live in,the more healthy you will be.
解析：该题为归纳推理题。根据作者所列举的长寿因素，结合文章最后一句，可以判断出答案。文中“To a great extent”是关键词。
答案：B

C
Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do.
In the past if you were determined to learn,you might have called a friend or relative,taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term.But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.
In one sense,these “how-to” sites represent(表明) a part of the growing world of online learning.This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQ—or Frequently Asked Questions files—that began on Usenet,the Internet’ s global discussion group.These FAQs,many of which still circulate(go round continuously),took a specific subject—and explained it to complete novices.
But “how-to” sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discussion forums(论坛).These sites take the style of a written tutorial(teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice.Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2.com(www.learn2.com).It offers nearly 1 000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.
At (www.) you can learn how to train for your first marathon,how to buy a vacation home,or how to make a movie in eight steps.
56.The purpose of writing the passage is to _____________.
A.introduce new websites to people
B.teach how to take new courses by Internet
C.present new means to learn something you want to know
D.help you to solve any difficulty you meet with
解析：推断题。根据第二段来推断。这一段是采用对比手法写的：过去如果你要学点东西，你采取去找亲戚朋友、上夜校或去图书馆等方法，可是现在你可以用上网的方法。因此它是在讲方式方法的改变。A项的意思是“把新的网站介绍给人们”。文章中的确提到两个网站,但是这两个网站是C项中的new means的两个具体例子。D项中“solve any difficulty you meet with”太绝对化了，它只是帮你“learn what you want”。
答案：C
57.“How-to” sites are set up to _____________.
A.explain FAQs to the public
B.help people to learn what they want to
C.tell the difference from discussion forums
D.complete the growing world of online learning
解析：判断题。根据第二段的第二句话“But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.”即“现在很多网站正在逐步建立起来，目的是提供既免费又实用的建议”，因此它帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。
答案：B
58.The underlined word “novices” in the passage probably means _____________.
A.experts who know a lot
B.hosts of “how-to” sites
C.people without knowledge
D.beginners of “how-to” sites
解析：猜测词义题。根据第三段最后一句话：“These FAQs took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.”从文章中我们可以看出FAQs是面向大众的，它帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。因此A项面向专家、B项面向网主都不对。C项不应该是面向没有知识的人，而是面向有问题想找到答案的人、想学习的东西的人。只有D项面向“如何做”，到这样的网站上寻求方法的那些人才合适。
答案：D
59.It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.
A.“how-to” sites are specially designed for the disabled
B.people can teach themselves at home by visiting “how-to” sites
C.it is pleasant to listen to the advice on “how-to” sites
D.you can just click your mouse at home to question anything
解析：推断题。用排除法来做。A项中disabled显然是不对的。C项中pleasant to listen在文章中也没有任何暗示。D项中的question(质问、询问)不合适。
答案：B
60.According to the text,if you want to buy a tent for camping you may _____________.
A.visit www.
B.visit www.learn2.com
C.visit the discussion forums
D.visit the FAQs
解析：该题为细节判断题。可以用排除法来解决。从文章最后一段的“how to buy a vacation home”可以推测而知。
答案：A

Ⅱ.好句——知识网络构建
1.They all have their own characteristics,but they all share the spirit of creativity and scientific skill that has made Zhongguancun a success.(Unit 11)
①make+n.1+n.2相当于make+n.2+of n.1，意思为“使成为；使作为”。
e.g.The Party has made him a staunch communist.=The Party has made a staunch communist of him.
②success可以作可数名词，表示“成功者；达到目的的人或成功的事”。
e.g.Of her plays,three were successes and one was a failure.He wasn’t a success as a teacher.
2. Not all the new companies can succeed.(Unit 11)

3.The success is no accident.(Unit 11)
accident(=chance,fortune) 意思是“机遇；命运；造化”，常用的短语有by accident（偶然,无意中；不小心），by accident of（因……的机会；由于……方面的运气），by no accident（绝非偶然）等。

6.It was with these feelings that I began the creation of a human being.(Unit 12)
It was on a night in November that I looked at the result of my work.(Unit 12)

7.注意：Units 11~12语法提示：构词法
Ⅲ.好题——高考范题精讲
【例1】 (NMET 2004,上海,43)Why!I have nothing to confess._____________ you want me to say
A.What is it that B.What it is that
C.How is it that D.How it is that
解析：本题在疑问句中考查强调句式的应用。解该题时，可将句子变换成肯定句，这样更容易分辨出句子的结构。肯定句式应为It is what that you want me to say.其中what应该作say的宾语，句子强调了这个宾语，并对其进行提问，增加了选择的难度。
答案：A
【例2】 (NMET 2004,北京,21)I invited Joe and Linda to dinner,but _____________ of them came.
A.neither B.either
C.none D.both
解析：该题考查全部否定。通过but的转折含义可以判断出所邀请的人都没来；none否定三个或三个以上的人或事物，而neither指的是对两者进行全部否定。
答案：A
【例3】 (NMET 2004,福建,32)—I’ll tell Mary about her new job tomorrow.
—You _____________ her last week.
A.ought to tell B.would have told
C.must tell D.should have told
解析：该题考查不同的情态动词后接动词完成式时的不同含义。“should have+动词完成式”表示过去本来应该做但是没有做的事情。对比“知识网络构建”一栏中第5条，把它们的意义区分清楚。
答案：D
【例4】 (NMET 2004,福建,65)Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting” used in the passage (附原文：A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of（证明有……罪）shoplifting for the second time in six months.)
A.Carrying goods in a lift for a shop.
B.Taking goods to the ladies’ toilet.
C.Selecting some goods from a display.
D.Taking goods from a shop without paying.
解析：该题考查构词法的知识。对于该词词义的判断可以根据上下文给出的信息词，如：convicted等；也可以根据构词法的知识来解决。shoplifting为一合成词，其中lift在口语中可以表示“偷”的含义，因此可以判断出该词的意思应该是“在商店进行行窃”。
答案：D
【例5】 (NMET 2004,74)The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _____________.(附原文：Finally,although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job,recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.)
A.keep for some time
B.successfully get
C.immediately start
D.lose regretfully
解析：该题考查构词的一种方法—转化法。很多词通过词类的转化获得新的意思或用法。land这一名词常转化成动词来使用。在本题中land作为动词有一个引申意义，意思是“获得”。
答案：B

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
In the Caucasus(高加索) region of the Soviet Union,nearly 50 out of every 100 000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday,and many don’t stop at 100!By comparison,in American only 3 people out of 10 000 reach 100.But these Soviet old people aren’t alone.The Pakistani Hunzas,who live in the Himalaya Mountains and the Uilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador,seem to share the secret of long life,too.These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time.While many elder persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s,some Georgians,aged 110 to 140,work in the fields beside their great great grand children.Even the idea of aging is foreign to them,when asked,“at what age does youth end ”most of these old people had no answer.Several replied,“well,perhaps at 80”,the very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well First of all,hard physical work is a way of life for all these long lived people.They begin their long days of physical labor as children and never seem to stop.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work.They all come from mountains regions.This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health `of these people is their isolation（隔绝）.To a great extent,they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.Inherited（遗传）factors also play some role.
46.Why does the writer mention some long lived people in the first paragraph
A.To surprise his readers.
B.To introduce the subject of the article.
C.To tell you the difference between people in the Soviet Union and America.
D.To tell you why Americans don’t live as long as other people.
解析：该题考查写作的常规技巧。第一段的实例列举完以后，第二段接着提出问题What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age,and to survive so well
答案：B
47.How many factors that contribute to long life of the people are mentioned in the article
A.One. B.Two.
C.Three. D.Four.
解析：该题为细节题。文中列举得很清楚。
答案：D
48.Whom does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 2
A.Old people in the Soviet Union.
B.The Pakistani Hunzas.
C.All of the long lived people.
D.Some Georgians.
解析：根据上一个句子可以判断出来。
答案：C
49.From the writer’s viewpoint,industrial society _____________.
A.is highly developed and beneficial to people
B.is a great advance in human history
C.is full of pressures and therefore bad for people’s health
D.should be replaced by isolated environment because it is bad for people’s health
解析：与长寿人群生活环境所不同的情况便是在工业化国家里人们的生活环境压力大,长寿的人数量相对较少。
答案：C
50.Which of the following is true according to the article
A.It is beneficial for people to be isolated.
B.People should learn to relax themselves from high pressures of life in industrial society.
C.The more hard physical work you do,the more healthy you will be.
D.The more remote areas you live in,the more healthy you will be.
解析：该题为归纳推理题。根据作者所列举的长寿因素，结合文章最后一句，可以判断出答案。文中“To a great extent”是关键词。
答案：B

Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do.
In the past if you were determined to learn,you might have called a friend or relative,taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term.But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.
In one sense,these “how-to” sites represent(表明) a part of the growing world of online learning.This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQ—or Frequently Asked Questions files—that began on Usenet,the Internet’ s global discussion group.These FAQs,many of which still circulate(go round continuously),took a specific subject—and explained it to complete novices.
But “how-to” sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily related to discussion forums(论坛).These sites take the style of a written tutorial(teaching period) and a tone of friendly advice.Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn2.com(www.learn2.com).It offers nearly 1 000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.
At (www.) you can learn how to train for your first marathon,how to buy a vacation home,or how to make a movie in eight steps.
56.The purpose of writing the passage is to _____________.
A.introduce new websites to people
B.teach how to take new courses by Internet
C.present new means to learn something you want to know
D.help you to solve any difficulty you meet with
解析：推断题。根据第二段来推断。这一段是采用对比手法写的：过去如果你要学点东西，你采取去找亲戚朋友、上夜校或去图书馆等方法，可是现在你可以用上网的方法。因此它是在讲方式方法的改变。A项的意思是“把新的网站介绍给人们”。文章中的确提到两个网站,但是这两个网站是C项中的new means的两个具体例子。D项中“solve any difficulty you meet with”太绝对化了，它只是帮你“learn what you want”。
答案：C
57.“How-to” sites are set up to _____________.
A.explain FAQs to the public
B.help people to learn what they want to
C.tell the difference from discussion forums
D.complete the growing world of online learning
解析：判断题。根据第二段的第二句话“But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.”即“现在很多网站正在逐步建立起来，目的是提供既免费又实用的建议”，因此它帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。
答案：B
58.The underlined word “novices” in the passage probably means _____________.
A.experts who know a lot
B.hosts of “how-to” sites
C.people without knowledge
D.beginners of “how-to” sites
解析：猜测词义题。根据第三段最后一句话：“These FAQs took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.”从文章中我们可以看出FAQs是面向大众的，它帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。因此A项面向专家、B项面向网主都不对。C项不应该是面向没有知识的人，而是面向有问题想找到答案的人、想学习的东西的人。只有D项面向“如何做”，到这样的网站上寻求方法的那些人才合适。
答案：D
59.It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.
A.“how-to” sites are specially designed for the disabled
B.people can teach themselves at home by visiting “how-to” sites
C.it is pleasant to listen to the advice on “how-to” sites
D.you can just click your mouse at home to question anything
解析：推断题。用排除法来做。A项中disabled显然是不对的。C项中pleasant to listen在文章中也没有任何暗示。D项中的question(质问、询问)不合适。
答案：B
60.According to the text,if you want to buy a tent for camping you may _____________.
A.visit www.
B.visit www.learn2.com
C.visit the discussion forums
D.visit the FAQs
解析：该题为细节判断题。可以用排除法来解决。从文章最后一段的“how to buy a vacation home”可以推测而知。
答案：A

SEFC is a good textbook for middle school students._______________________________
参考答案：
SEFC is a good textbook for middle school students.There are many interesting color pictures to go with the text.The passages are up to date and closely related to our everyday life,which can lead us to take an active part in class.It can improve our reading,writing,especially listening and speaking in an all-round way.
However,I hope that there’ll be more interesting topics for us to discuss at the end of the texts.And I also hope to study more passages about English and American cultures.I like English songs very much,so it would be great if I can enjoy English songs on the tape going with the textbook.
