October 20 Friday fine
Today my classmates and I went to Hongxing Farm for a wonderful eco-travel.
First, I got up at 6:30 and we set off by bus. On the bus, we had a good time singing and enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window. Then two hours later, we arrived at the gate of the farm, where the farmers were waiting to give us a warm welcome. After we were shown around the big farm, we began to plant trees. It was really a good way to get close to nature and protect the environment at the same time. Next, we had a picnic and it was great fun to eat in the open air. Finally, we were on the way back. Although we were all very tired, our eco-travel was really unforgettable.

Last night I watched the Winter Olympics on television. All the teams were good, and it was very exciting.
Our ski team was excellent. They skied very fast and jumped very well. Last light the French team beat us, but this time we beat them. We won a gold medal.
I liked the skating events too. I saw a lot of skaters. The American and the Italian teams were both excellent. A boy on the German team had a bad fall and broke his leg.

观点对比
题目要求:
最近,你的父母打算让你出国留学,你与父母的意见相悖,感到烦恼.现在你准备在网上将你与父母的意见发表出来,寻求帮助.请你根据下面的提示,写出100词左右的短文.文章开头已给出.
父母的看法
自己的看法
1.拥有学习外语的好环境;
2.可以尽早学会独立生活;
3.学习先进技术,有前途.
自己现有的外语水平不高;
担心遇到无法处理的问题;
对家庭来说留学费用太高.
My parents have been wanting me to study abroad,
1.思路分析:
拿到本题目之后,我们应该先分析此题的意图.要求写一篇短文寻求帮助,因此必须得把题目所囊括的内容陈述清楚,这里需要注意的是要在结尾寻求帮助.然后再根据表格内容写出所需要的词汇:limited, communicate, hard, deal with, cost, too much, independent, advanced knowledge, bright future……然后再进行组织写出提纲,可以第一段陈述自己的观点,第二段陈述父母的观点,最后提出寻求帮助.当然也可以先写父母的观点再陈述自己的观点.
2.参考范文:
My parents have been wanting me to study abroad, but I don’t agree with them.
I think my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. And I’m not fully developed physically and mentally. So it would be hard for me to deal with the problems I’ll face. Besides, the cost will be too much for my family.
However, my parents think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country. Worse still, studying abroad at an early age will enable me to be independent. Then it would be easier for me to lean advanced knowledge and technology, which would prepare me for a brighter future.
I really don’t know whether I should obey my parents or not. I need advice!

假设你是李华,申请到一家外资企业工作。你需要用英语写一篇短文,介绍自己的基本情况。短文应包括下表所列的全部内容。

所学主要课程

注意:1、词数在100字左右:
2、开头已为你写好。
My name is Li Hua___________________
1、思路分析: 在读完本题之后,我们很容易就能理解题目是让我们写一篇文章来介绍我们自己(尽管我们不会写真实的自己)。在阅读完表中的情况之后,我们应该先想出在写文章时需要的词汇,其中涉及到了科目,运动及一些业余爱好的词汇,这些并不是很难,这里的难点是如何有序地但又不是流水账似的把这些内容清楚地表达出来。出生地与出生年月放在一起形成一句话。初中可以用了一个介词after表达出来;科目结束后紧接着说自己最喜欢的并很自然地说出了自己取得的成绩,然后是自己的爱好与兴趣。
参考范文:
My name is Li Hua. I was born in Shanghai in September 1987. I started school in 1989 when I was six. I studied in Yuying Primary School from 1993 to 1999.
After that I went to No.8 Middle School of Shanghai and graduated this summer. The main subjects I studied at school included Chinese, maths, English, physics, chemistry and computer.

Today our class went to the Xishan Park to clean the place. Early in the morning we started out by bike. As soon as we got there, we began to work. First we collected the rubbish near the river bank and in the woods. Then we put up notices to tell people not to destroy the beauty of nature. At the same time, we kept on telling the visitors the importance of protecting the environment. Having cleaned the whole park, we said goodbye to the workers of the park and went home. Though we were very tired, we felt very happy.

谈 如 何 进 行 书 面 表 达 的 训 练
近年来,高考英语重点考查学生运用英语的能力。书面表达一题则是测试学生用英语笔头表达的能力。对于大部分学生来说,此题难度大,要求高,考生往往失分多。下面谈谈如何进行书面表达的训练。
一、细心研读所给材料或图表,用汉语列出要点,组织文章。
英语书面表达虽难,但其要求与作文不同,它只要求考生用较规范的英语,简单地陈述清所给材料。根据这一要求,若先用母语组织文章,学生就不感到难了。因此,在下笔之前,要认真研读和理解所给材料或图表,用汉语列出要点,例如94年高考题:
提示:你校学生会将为来访的美国朋友举办一个晚会,要在学校广播此事,并欢迎大家参加。为使美国朋友听懂,请你用英语写一篇广播通知。在要点如下:
宗 旨:欢迎来访的美国朋友
时 间:8月15日(星期六)晚上7:30
地 点:主楼屋顶花园
活动内容:音乐、跳舞、唱歌、游戏、交换礼品(包装好,签好名,并在包装外面写上几个祝愿词)
注意:(1)广播稿约100词。
(2)应包括以上要点,但不要逐字翻译,要组织成一篇通顺、连贯的短文。
在用英语表达前,可组织要点如下:
1、学生会将在8月15日,星期六,举行一个晚会欢迎来访的美国朋友。
2、晚会在主楼屋顶花园举行。
3、晚会于下午7:30举行。
4、晚会将有音乐、午蹈、唱歌、游戏、交换礼品等。
5、要把礼品包装好,签好名,并写上一些祝愿的话。
有了这些要点,用英语组织文章时,就显得有章可循了。
二、找出相应的词、词组或句型,明确时态、语态,用英语表达出每一个要点
用英语表达出每一个要点,通常是最困难的一步。首先要对要点进行分析、理解,从英语中找到相应的词、词组和句型。(找到的这些词、词组和句型必须是你熟悉的、能正确运用的,否则,往往出错。)再根据内容,确定好时态、语态。上面一题的五个要点依次可译为:
1. The student Union is going to hold a party on Saturday evening , Aug. 15th to welcome our friends from the U.S.
2. The party will be held in the roof garden of the main building .
3. It will begin at 7:30 p.m.
4. There will be music, dancing , sing ing ,games,and exchanging gifts.
5. Rember to wrap your gift up , sign your name and write a few words of wishes.
在用英语表达要点时,常会遇到一些你无从着手的难句或繁句,这时要充分利用“解释法”。
所为谓“解释法”可理解为“化难为易”“化繁为简”。
“化难为易”就是把不好用英语表达的汉语句子,在保持句子意思不变的情况下,解释为你能用英语表达出来的形式,以达到用英语表达出这一要点的效果。如下面一个要点:
“凡愿参加讨论者,请到班主任处报名。”
“报名”一词,在所学英语中找不到相应的词或词组,但根据这上意思可把“到班主任处报名”解释为“告诉班主任把你的名字记下来。”那么,这一要点可表达为:
If you want to join in our discussion, please tell your class teacher to take down your name.
又如:“他在去年的高考中金榜题名”
该句中的“金榜题名”一词难以表达,我们可把这个词组解释为:“他在去年的高考中成功了”或“他通过了去年的高考”,这样则可译为:
He succeeded in the college entrance examination last year.
或:He passed the college entrance examination last year.
所谓“化繁为简”就是在保持句子不变的情况下,把结构繁杂的句子化成几个简单的句子来表达。如:“他在我市去年举行的英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。”
上句直接用英语来表达,结构复杂,难度较大,可先化成两个简单句。即:“去年我市举行了一次英语演讲比赛,他获得了一等奖。”则可表达为:
There was an English speech contest in our city last year, and he got the first prize in it.
又如:“南京大学吴教授将应邀到会做《如何学好英语》的报告”
该句可解释为:“南京大学吴教授将被邀请来参加会议,他将做《如何学好英语的报告》。这样该句可译为:
Prof. Wu from Nanjing University will be invited to the meeting . He will give us a talk on How to Learn English Well.
总之,在表达具体各个要点时,灵活地将句子作出解释,把它转变成你能用英语表达的形式,能帮你渡过难关,正确地用英语表达出要点。
三、连句、整理成文
在译出各个要点之后,就可以连句成章了。此时,可根据文章的需要,可以在短文之前加上概括性的句子;为了衔接上下句,要在句与句之间加上必要的过渡句或连接词,才能使句子显得紧凑;为了避免重复,可把几个简单的句子合并成一个并列句或复合句,这样就使整个短文即紧扣了要点,又连贯、通顺。
附:英语书面表达中常用的过渡性词语:
1、表示时间:then, now , afterwards, five minutes /... later, soon , before long , shortly after that , soon after supper/.... to this day, just now , just then,...
2、表示顺序、动作过程的:first, firstly, first of all , second , secondly, at first, at last next...
3:表示转折:but , yet, and yet , however , although, otherwise, in spite of , ...
4:表示结果:thus, therefore, so , as a result, seeing that , luckily, unfortunately, fortunately, ..
5:表示强调:above all , indeed, surely, certainly , of course , after all , without any delay, at last, at most, ...
6:表示并列:and , also, as well as , and then, ...
7:表示递进:besides, what's /was more , in addition , even, once more ,
8:表示解释或说明:that's to say, that is , namely ,for example , actually, and so on, such as , believe it or not , to tell (you)the truth, for this reason, in other words, ...
9:表示比较或对比:just like , just as, in the same way, more or less, sooner or later , on the contrary, on the other hand, ...
10:表示总结:finally, in conclusion, in a word, in general, generally speaking, as you know, in the end, ...
阅读下列短文,仔细体会括号内过渡词的使用:
(One day )an old lady was walking slowly in the street with a handbag in her hand.(Suddenly) a young man riding a bicycle came up and snatched her bag. The old lady shouted:"Help!"and ran after him, (however),she couldn't catch up with the bike .(Just then) a boy came out of school and saw what happened.( Immediately )he took out a box of push-pin and threw them on the ground .( Just as the boy expected), the bike tyre were destroyed by the push-pins on the road and the young man had to stop.

Liu Xiang Will Resume Training (刘翔即将恢复训练)
难度:**** 词数:244 标准时间:5分钟 完成时间:______ 正确数:______
Athens Olympic 110m hurdle champion Liu Xiang felt so relieved to return to racetrack after getting out of the great number of social activities.
Liu arrived in hometown Shanghai Wednesday night and was about to resume① training shortly after.
“I am so exhausted② from so many social activities, which made me even more tired than training,” said the 21-year-old Liu, who wrote a new chapter in China’s Olympic history by winning the country’s first ever athletics short-distance running title in the men’s 110m hurdles in Athens in August.
“I am happy that I will resume my training soon back in Shanghai,” said the Shanghai native. He turned into an instant national hero with the Olympic glory③ and one of the most popular Olympic gold medalists, taking part in scores of celebration activities since he returned to China early September.
“My regular training has been interrupted for such a long time that I think I can only run at about 13.5 seconds now,” said Liu, who clocked a world record-tying time of 12.91 to clinch the title.
“I would rather forget what I have achieved in the past and try my best to realize a higher goal,” he said.
Liu already missed the Berlin Golden League Series on Sunday and won’t be able to catch the IAAF Grand Prix final slated for September 18-19 in Monaco.
He plans on attending an IAAF all-star tournament in Japan at the end of this month.

The Uniqueness of Finger-prints (指纹的唯一性)
Every human being has a unique① arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original② pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can by recorded easily. With special methods, identification③ can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “develop” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
Notes:
unique adj. 唯一的,独特的 original adj. 最初的,原始的 identification n. 辩认,鉴定

( ) 3. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ________.
A. using printer’s ink B. injuring the inner skin
C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour

Big Explosions in Dahab (宰海卜大爆炸)
CAIRO, Egypt (Reuters) April 24, 2006—Three explosions shook the Egyptian Sinai resort of Dahab on Monday, killing 23 people and wounding dozens of others, rescue and security officials said.
Witnesses said smoke billowed① up from the town’s tourist bazaar, and residents said they saw body parts and debris② on the street after an explosion at a restaurant.
People in the small beach and diving resort, which is popular with backpackers, described scenes of carnage③ and chaos④.
A cafe worker who was about 200 meters (yards) from the scene said: “We saw many dead people. People were screaming. People were being taken to hospital. Egyptians went to give blood. There were body parts. There’s police everywhere.”
“There are ambulances and cars taking people to hospital,” said another resident, who also did not want to be named.
The explosions took place at the Nelson Restaurant, the Aladdin Cafeteria and the Ghazala Supermarket, the Interior Ministry said.
The explosions took place in quick succession at about 7.15 p.m. (1715 GMT). “There is smoke coming from the area and there are people running everywhere,” said one witness, who heard the blasts.
An official with the local ambulance service said many of the dead appeared to be foreigners.
Israeli divers often stay in the resort but with the Passover holiday over it is unlikely many were there. The Israeli ambassador in Cairo and Israeli authorities said they did not know of any Israeli casualties⑤.
One visitor said police were stopping cars and buses leaving the resort and had imposed restrictions on movements in and out of backpacker camps in the area.
It was the third set of three explosions on the eastern coast of the Sinai peninsula since October 2004, when a group attacked the Hilton hotel in the border resort of Taba and two other resorts on the northeast coast, killing 34 people.

Reports on Bird Flu (有关禽流感的报道)
BEIJING, Nov. 25, 2005(Reuters)— China’s home-grown human bird flu vaccine① is at least a year away from hitting the market but tests on humans have been approved by the government, head of the research drug company said on Friday.
Development of the vaccine started last year after bird flu outbreaks in Thailand and Vietnam and animal trials have already been completed, said Yin Wei-dong, managing director of Sinovac Biotech.
“It is not a virus that is spreading from human to human,so we are very optimistic②,” Yin told Reuters in an interview.
The deadly H5N1 made its first known jump to humans in Hong Kong in 1997, killing six people. The virus appeared again in late 2003 and is known to have infected 130 people in several parts of Asia, killing 68 of them.
“It is not decided yet when the human trials will begin. We just got approval on November 22 by the State Food and Drug Administration,” Yin said.
Oregon, Nov. 26, 2005(AP)— The deadly strain of bird flu that appeared in Asia and has already spread to other parts of the world has not affected the Oregon poultry③ industry or consumers, according to Oregon State University researchers.
There are many strains of bird flu that do not usually infect humans. But one strain, called H5N1, has jumped from chickens to humans and is blamed for more than 60 deaths in Asia.
International disease control experts are worried about a worldwide outbreak of bird flu, raising concerns such as whether it is safe to eat poultry.
But Oregon State University researchers say there is no proof that the virus can jump to humans by eating cooked poultry products.
“Consumers needn’t be overly concerned about bird flu,” said Jim Hermes, OSU Extension Service poultry specialist. But he urged consumers to follow standard food safety practices in preparing poultry — including washing hands while preparing food, and proper cooking of poultry meat and eggs.
He noted that a 2003 outbreak of bird virus caused much damage to commercial poultry operations in California but did not get into Oregon because of industry safeguards.
Notes: vaccine n. 疫苗 optimistic adj. 乐观的 poultry n. 家禽

C. People will develop bird flu even if they eat well-cooked poultry products.
D. H5N1 has caused more than 60 deaths worldwide.

Yao Ming, the Top Votegetter in Fan Balloting (姚明在球迷投票中获最高票数)
Yao Ming edged Kobe Bryant as the top votegetter in fan balloting① for the 55th NBA All-Star game Thursday, and Shaquille O’Neal became the fifth player in league history to earn 13 consecutive② selections for the midseason showcase.
Yao and Tracy McGrady give the host Houston Rockets two starters in the Feb.19 game. They were joined on the Western Conference squad by Bryant, San Antonio’s Tim Duncan and reigning MVP Steve Nash of Phoenix — who will be a first-time All-Star starter.
?Yao edged Bryant by 71,107 votes for the top overall spot in the balloting, despite missing 21 games following surgery to clean out an infection③ in his left big toe. It’s the fourth All-Star trip for the 7-foot-6 center from China and the eighth for Bryant, who leads the NBA in scoring and had an 81-point effort — the second-biggest night in NBA history — last month in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over Toronto.
Yao finished with 2,342,738 votes; Bryant had 2,271,631 in the closest finish among the top two players in All-Star balloting since Vince Carter, then of Toronto, edged Miami’s Alonzo Mourning by 33,385 votes in 2000.Notes: ballot vi. 投票 consecutive adj. 连续的 infection n. 传染,感染

Kung Fu Hustle Creates the Top-grossing(《功夫》创造最高票房收入)
It’s no surprise why Kung Fu Hustle is the top-grossing① homegrown movie in Hong Kong. Hustle’s approach to a simple good-against-evil plot is extremely cheerful.
Humor bordering on slapstick combined with exciting choreography② by Yuen Wo Ping, who masterminded③ the fight scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix, make Kung Fu Hustle a lively, visual treat.
There is plenty of violence, but it’s largely cartoonish. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, produced and stars in this non-stop action movie, which is in Cantonese with English subtitles④.
Chow plays Sing, an eager young man who longs to be a member of the powerful and cruel Axe Gang. When gang members appear on the scene, sometimes dancing with their frightening axes in hand, the sky breaks out with fireworks. The sets are shocking, with classic cars lining the neon-lighted streets and gambling casinos⑤ serving as the backdrop to the underworld activities. All these give off the sensation of Old West shootouts.
One neighborhood is blessedly away from the disorder. Pig Sty Alley is so poverty-stricken it holds no interest for the Axe Gang. Then in wanders the unlucky Sing, who attempts to get money there. But folks are not what they seem: The town is full of kung fu masters.
Sing tries to single out someone he can fight, but it seems as if everyone, elderly and very young alike, has a body like Charles Atlas. During the time, Sing calls upon the Axe Gang, which faces off against the people of Pig Sty Alley, led by the town’ s landlords, the powerful lady in curlers and her husband. Fans of kung fu movies will have a rip-roaring time, but even moviegoers are sure to enjoy spirited action of Kung Fu Hustle.

Bill Gates (比尔·盖茨)
Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast① fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime. With an estimated② worth of more than $ 40 billion, according to Forbes, the project will be no small feat③ for Gates. Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids.”
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially④ successful. “National borders allow inequalities,” said Gates, “We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them.”
Gates said that both his parents set good examples to him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. “It seemed there was a real time urgency,” Gates said, “I started to think, how many lives could I save before then?”
Notes: vast adj. 巨额的 estimate v. 估计,估价 feat n. 功绩,壮举
financially adv. 财政上,金融上
( ) 1. Why will Bill Gates give away his vast fortune?
A. to improve the health of population in America alone
B. to improve the health of population all over the world
C. to avoid leaving his children too much money
D. to spare the American government the burden of health care
( ) 2. According to the passage, which of the following is right?
A. Americans should care about people in other countries
B. Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C. Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D. Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
( ) 3. Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of __.
A. his weakening health condition B. his parents’ suggestions
C. his great success in business D. his concerns for suffering people
( ) 4. According to the passage, which word can be used to describe Bill Gates?
A. brave B. kind-hearted C. strong-minded D. confident

Animals Can Sense Natural Disasters (动物能预感到自然灾难)
Among the dead in South Asia’s tsunami① were many tourists at Sri Lanka’s national wildlife park at Yala. But very few of the park’s animals — elephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats — appear to have died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and flee to safety.
First, it’s possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater rupture likely produced sound waves known as infrasound② or infrasonic sound. Humans can’t hear infrasound, but many animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can.
A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration③. The massive quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves move on the surface of the ocean but faster. They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have reached SriLanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves. So the animals at Yale might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.
But what about humans? While we can’t hear infrasound, we can feel it, although we don’t necessarily know we’re feeling it. We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints, which exist just for that purpose. Sadly, it seems we don’t pay attention to the information when we get it. Maybe we screen it out because there’s so much going on before our eyes and in our ears. Humans have a lot of things on our minds and usually that works out OK.
Notes: tsunami n. 海啸 infrasound n. 次声 vibration n. 振动,颤动
1. Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?
A. Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
B. Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
C. Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
D. Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
( ) 2. Which of the statements about “Ravleigh waves” is true?
A. Rayleigh waves are massive vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.
B. Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.
C. Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
D. Rayleigh waves, just like infrasonic sound, can only be felt by animals.
( ) 3. When a tsunami hits, it is possible that ____.
A. we can’t feel the infrasound so we can’t be informed of the danger
B. we can feel Rayleigh waves as well as infrasound so we are able to escape the danger like animals
C. we were so busy with things on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves
D. we think nothing of the information of its coming even though we can also get it
( ) 4. What does the underlined word “that” in the last sentence refer to?
A. Screening out the information.
B. There being so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.
C. Having a lot of things on our minds. D. Paying attention to the information.

The Giant Squid In The Deep Ocean(深海大鱿鱼)
Japanese scientists have taken the first photographs of one of the most mysterious creatures in the deep ocean — the giant squid①.
Until now the only information about the behavior of the creatures which measure up to 18 meters (59 feet) in length has been based on dead or dying squid washed up on shore or captured② in commercial fishing nets.
But Tsunemi Kubodera, of the National Science Museum, and Kyoichi Mori of the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association, both in Tokyo have captured the first images of Architeuthis attacking bait③ 900 meters below the surface in the cold, dark waters of the North Pacific. “We show the first wild images of a giant squid in its natural environment,” they said in a report in the journal Proceedings B of the Royal Society.
Little is known about the creatures because it has been so difficult to locate and study them alive. Large ships and specialist equipment, which is costly, are needed to study deep sea environments.
The Japanese scientists found the squid by following sperm whales, the most effective hunters of giant squid, as they gathered to feed between September and December in the deep waters off the coast of the Ogasawara Islands in the North Pacific. They used a remote long-line camera and depth logging system to capture the giant squid in the ocean depths.
The most dramatic character of giant squids is the pair of extremely long tentacles④, distinct from the eight shorter arms. The long tentacles make up to two-thirds of the length of the dead specimens⑤ to date. The giant squid appear to be a much more active meat-eating animals than researchers had thought.
Notes: squid n. 鱿鱼 capture vt. 捕获 bait n. 鱼饵 tentacle n. 触角,触须
specimen n. 标本,样本
( ) 1. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. Scientists captured a giant squid alive B. Scientists captured a giant squid on camera
C. giant squids are special meat-eating animals D. giant squids mainly live in the deep sea
( ) 2. According to the passage, we can infer that the word “Architeuthis” should refer to ________.
A. a scientist B. the sperm whale C. a big ship D. the giant squid
( ) 3. Which of the following about giant squids is TRUE?
A. They like living the cold and deep waters. B. They mainly feed on the dead fish.
C. They like playing, using their tentacles. D. They have only eight arms around the mouth.
( ) 4. According to the passage, the scientists located the giant squid ________.
A. through a remote long-line camera B. by using depth logging system
C. by following sperm whales D. by using the bait to attract them

Survey Studies Internet Use in China (对中国互联网使用的调查)
A typical① Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e-mail, seldom makes online purchases② and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants③ use the Internet for news — often entertainment-related — or for online games. About half download music and movies.
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.
“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”
The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen④ in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.
China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.

NBA Scouts Internationally (NBA在世界范围内广揽人才)
In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters① will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy② in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout③ internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons④in-waiting. It is the ultimate⑤ revolution — the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

The World’s Oldest Tortoise Has Died(世界上最长寿的乌龟已死亡)
CALCUTTA, India?Mar 24, 2006?(AP) —?One of the world’s oldest creatures, a giant tortoise believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life.
Addwaita, which means “the one and only” in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial① rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive②, living in Clive’s garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875.
“According to records in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be about 250 years,” said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world’s oldest documented③ living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who lives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo’s Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.
Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll④ in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo’s biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman.
“We were keeping a watch on him. When the zoo keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,” Burman said.

A Plan For Exploring Mars (火星探索计划)
NASA is moving ahead with plans to put a long-armed lander on Mars’ icy north pole to search for clues① for water and possible signs of life.
The $386 million Phoenix Mars is planned to touch down in the Martian arctic in 2008. The stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples② to analyze. In 2002, the Mars Odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface.
Scientists hope the Phoenix mission will find clues to the geologic history of water on the Red Planet and determine whether microbes③ existed in the ice.
Phoenix will be the first mission of the Mars Scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the Red Planet. “The Phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of Mars analogous to the permafrost regions on Earth,” Peter Smith said.
True to its name, Phoenix rose from the ashes of previous④ missions. The lander for Phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 Mars Surveyor program. But the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the Mars Polar Lander in 1999. The Polar Lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planet’s south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction.
The Phoenix probe had been in storage at a Lockheed Martin clean room in Denver before it was reused for its present mission. It will carry science instruments that were designed for the Mars Surveyor program including an improved panoramic camera and a trench-digging robotic arm. Phoenix will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in August 2007 and land on the planet nine months later.

Zinedine Zidane (齐内丁 · 齐达内)
Zinedine Zidane, who dreams of leading France to its second World Cup title in a row next month, has always preferred to express himself with a football rather than with words.
Last Wednesday Zidane scored the decisive goal when Real Madrid of Spain won the Champions League final against Germany’s Leverkusen 2-1.
He became one of the world’s most expensive players when he joined Real Madrid from Italy’s Juventus for US $ 66 million. And he has been a national hero since he scored twice in the 3-0 defeat of Brazil in the 1998 World Cup Final.
But despite his success, Zidane has always kept his feet on the ground. He leads a quiet family life, there is hardly any gossip① about him and he avoids putting his wife and two children in the spotlight②.
“Just because I’m a public figure it doesn’t mean I have to express myself on everything. I don’t like to discuss some personal matters publicly.” he said.
Even as a child playing football in the slum area of Marseille, France, where he was raised by his Algerian parents, Zidane was shy.
He loved football even as a little kid. “I realized football is a wonderful mixture of a sharp mind and hard training rather than just talking,”he said.
Even when the match awards were just chocolate and bread, Zidane found that football made his poor childhood rich.
Before he was 10 years old, it was obvious that he could become a great footballer. He was offered his first professional contract③ when he was just 20. Now, at the age of 29, he has already picked up two World Player of the year awards.
This quiet striker has not yet spoken of his hopes for the coming World Cup. But his fans across the world will be eagerly watching him to see what he’ll do this time.

Protecting Copyright (版权保护)
Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits② have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing③ file-sharers.”

A Two-way Student Exchange (学生双向交流)
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from 13 —19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully① when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize② American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
Notes:respectfully adv. 尊敬地,谦恭地criticize vt. 批评,责备

Mahathir Mohamad (马哈蒂尔·穆罕默德)
Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad has been retired. But he didn’t go quietly. In his final speech, he blamed the Jewish people for the problems between Israel and the Palestinians.
“The Jews have taken land of the Muslims,” he said. “What if part of America was given to the Jews as Israel? Would the Americans let it happen? Of course not.”
His words angered many western governments, but Mahathir doesn’t care. “I like to speak my mind,” the 77-year-old explained. “Sometimes people don’t like it. But that is what leadership is all about.”
Loved by some and disliked by others, his 22 years in power have seen great changes in Malaysia. He has taken it from being one of Asia’s poorest countries to the world’s 18th largest trading nation. It is also a peaceful country with native Malaysians living alongside minority groups. Chinese make up a quarter of the population, while a further 7.4 percent are of Indian origin. Teenage girls wearing Muslim① headscarves happily walk around large stores as ethnic Chinese play mah-jong② in nearby cafes.
But Mahathir has made enemies at home and abroad and some people will be glad he has gone. The US was unhappy when he often blamed it for globalization. Meanwhile, critics say that he has limited the freedom of the Malaysian people in order to stay in control of the country. Despite this, he is a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia as well as those in the Islamic③ world. “He marked out the path to success for developing nations in the region to follow,” said Thai President Thaksin Shinawatra.
Now he just wants to enjoy his retirement and insists that he will not take on a special role in government. “I’m a nobody,” he said. But many Malaysians do not agree with this.

How to become a Good Santa(如何成为一名优秀的圣诞老人)
There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.
That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big bucks for large events to no pay for charities①. One thing for them all is a pure love for children.
A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” So with a pet reindeer②, his properly named wife Holly and a workshop full of wonder.
The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer. What’s harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.
After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”

2007高考复习系列知识
很多同学看了很多语法书, 可是觉得自己做题的时候, 自己对语法掌握得还不是很好. 当然原因很多. 其一就是很多同学在研究语法(这是语法学家做的事情), 比如哪些词可以做主语, 背得很熟, 可是做题时却用不上. 其二就是基本的语法规则没有掌握 本站将推出高考语法复习专题, 从高考的角度来讲语法 希望对有需要的同学有帮助.
特色: 推出一句话语法.一句话语法为语法之精要,在此基础上扩展就可以形成语法体系.
语法复习一:句子成分;简单句、并列句和复合句
一、句子成分
(一)句子成分的定义:构成句子的各个部分叫做句子成分。句子成分有主要成分和次要成分;主要成分有主语和谓语;次要成分有表语、宾语、定语、状语、补足语和同位语。
(二)主语:主语是一个句子所叙述的主体,一般位于句首。但在there be结构、疑问句(当主语不疑问词时)和倒装句中,主语位于谓语、助动词或情态动词后面。主语可由名词、代词、数词、不定式、动名词、名词化的形容词和主语从句等表示。一句话语法: 主语由名词性的词来充当. 例如:
During the 1990s, American country music has become more and more popular.(名词)
We often speak English in class.(代词)
One-third of the students in this class are girls.(数词)
To swim in the river is a great pleasure.(不定式)
Smoking does harm to the health.(动名词)
The rich should help the poor.(名词化的形容词)
When we are going to have an English test has not been decided.(主语从句)
It is necessary to master a foreign language.(it作形式主语,真正的主语为后面的不定式)
(三)谓语:谓语说明主语所做的动作或具有的特征和状态。动词在句中作谓语,一般放在主语之后。一句话语法: 谓语由动词充当. 有很多同学在写作的时候容易犯的错误就是要么乱用be动词,要么句子没有谓语动词. 谓语的构成如下:
1、简单谓语:由一个动词或动词短语构成。如:He practices running every morning.
2、复合谓语:(1)由情态动词或其他助动词加动词原形构成。注意:这里面的动词原形非常重要. 如:You may keep the book for two weeks. He has caught a bad cold. (2)由系动词加表语构成。如:We are students.
(四)表语:表语用以说明主语的身份、特征和状态,它一般位于系动词(如be, become, get, look, grow, turn, seem等)之后。表语一般由名词、代词、形容词、分词、数词、不定式、动名词、介词短语、副词及表语从句表示。一句话语法: 表语使用形容词,不用副词! 例如:
Our teacher of English is an American.(名词)
Is it yours?(代词)
The weather has turned cold.(形容词)
The speech is exciting.(分词)
Three times seven is twenty one?(数词)
His job is to teach English.(不定式)
His hobby(爱好)is playing football.(动名词)
The machine must be out of order.(介词短语)
Time is up. The class is over.(副词)注意: 副词可以做表语的只有几个,非常简单,考试不考,所以上面说:表语使用形容词,不用副词! 我们所复习的语法直接针对高考,不是搞语法研究,这点请大家一定要记住.
The truth is that he has never been abroad.(表语从句)
(五)宾语:宾语表示动作的对象或承爱者,一般位于及物动词和介词后面。一句话语法:宾语由名词性的词充当,宾语分为动词宾语和介词宾语,分别构成动宾结构和介词结构,这点非常重要,务必要牢记.例如:
They went to see an exhibition(展览)yesterday.(名词)
The heavy rain prevented me form coming to school on time.(代词)
How many dictionaries do you have? I have five.(数词)
They helped the old with their housework yesterday.(名词化形容词)
He pretended not to see me.(不定式短语)
I enjoy listening to popular music.(动名词短语)
I think(that)he is fit for his office.(宾语从句)
宾语种类:(1)双宾语(间接宾语+直接宾语),例如:Lend me your dictionary, please.如果同学搞不清楚什么是双宾语,记下下面这个句子: give me a book.一人一物做宾语就是双宾语.说得白一点,双就是两个的意思.(2)复合宾语(宾语+宾补),例如:They elected him their monitor.
(六)宾语补足语:英语中有些及物动词,除有一个直接宾语以外,还要有一个宾语补语,才能使句子的意义完整。带有宾语补足语的一般句型为:某些及物动词(如make等+宾语+宾补)。宾补可由名词、形容词、副词、不定式、分词、介词短语和从句充当。一句话语法: 宾语补足语使用形容词,不用副词.例如:
His father named him Dongming.(名词)
They painted their boat white.(形容词)
Let the fresh air in.(副词)
You mustn’t force him to lend his money to you.(不定式短语)
We saw her entering the room.(现在分词)
We found everything in the lab in good order.(介词短语)
We will soon make our city what your city is now.(从句)
(七)定语:修饰名词或代词的词、短语或从句称为定语。一句话语法:定语使用形容词 定语可由以下等成分表示:
Guilin is a beautiful city.(形容词)
China is a developing country; America is a developed country.(分词)
There are thirty women teachers is our school.(名词)
His rapid progress in English made us surprised.(代词)
Our monitor is always the first to enter the classroom.(不定式短语)
The teaching plan for next term has been worked out.(动名词)
He is reading an article about how to learn English.(介词短语)
(八)状语:修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子(这个就叫状语,一句话语法: 状语用副词,不用形容词),说明动作或状态特征的句子成分,叫做状语。可由以下形式表示:
Light travels most quickly.(副词及副词性词组)
He has lived in the city for ten years.(介词短语)
He is proud to have passed the national college entrance examination.(不定式短语)
He is in the room making a model plane.(分词短语)
Wait a minute.(名词)

I hope you are very well. I'm fine, but tired. Right now it is the summer vacation and I'm helping my Dad on the farm. August is the hottest month here. It is the time of year for the rice harvest, so every day I work from dawn until dark. Sometimes we go on working after dark by the lights of our tractors. We grow rice in the south of the States, but in the north where it is colder they grow wheat. We have a lot of machines on the farm. Although the farm is large, my Dad has only two men working for him. But he employs more men for the harvest. My brother takes care of the vegetable garden. It doesn't often rain in the summer here. As a result, we have to water the vegetable garden. Every evening we pump water from a well. It then runs along channels to different parts of the garden.
三、用符号划出下列短文各句中的定语(—)、状语(=)、补语(~):
Most Saturday evenings there is a party, even at harvest time. These parties often make us very happy. We cook meat on an open fire outside. It's great! Americans eat a lot of meat — too much in my opinion. Some of my friends drink beer. I don't, because I have to drive home after the party. In your letter you asked about the time in different areas of the States. There are five different time areas in the States. In my state we are fourteen hours behind Beijing time. How many different time areas do you have in China? Well, I must stop and get some sleep. Please give my best regards to your parents.

大家重点做一下第四题,有些题目比较难(当然是相对于我们刚复习的语法而言,比如第一题是定语从句,这个我们还没有复习到,所以做不好也是正常的),做完题之后,回过头来再看一下一句话语法是不是很有用.
语法复习一:句子成分;简单句、并列句和复合句
二、简单句、并列句和复合句
(一)句子种类两种分类法
1、按句子的用途可分四种:
1)陈述句(肯定、否定):He is six years old; She didn’t hear of you before.
特点: 用句号结束一个句子
2)疑问句(一般、特殊、选择、反意):Do they like skating? How old is he? Is he six or seven years old? Mary can swim, can’t she?
疑问句就是问句
3)祈使句:Be careful, boys; Don’t talk in class
祈使句: 表示命令或者请求. 和有没有主语没有关系
4)感叹句:How clever the boy is!
还有一个结构是用 what. how 后面加上的是形容词副词.what后面加上的是名词.
2、按句子的结构可分三种:
1)简单句:只有一个主语(或并列主语)和一个谓语(或并列谓语)。
e.g. He often reads English in the morning.
Tom and Mike are American boys.
She likes drawing and often draws pictures for the wall newspapers.
2) 并列句:由并列连词(and, but, or等)或分号(;)把两个或两个以上的简单句连在一起构成。
要注意哟,逗号是不可以连接句子的,这一点和汉语不同.
e.g. You help him and he helps you.
The future is bright; the road is tortuous. 前途是光明的,道路是曲折的。
3)复合句:含有一个或一个以上从句的句子。复合句包含:名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句)、定语从句和状语从句等。
有主句和从句构成,在一个句子前面加上连词(当然不是and,but,or了),这个句子就是从句了.
e.g. The foreign visitors took a lot of pictures when they were at the Great Wall.
(二)简单句的五种基本句型
1、主语+系动词+表语:e.g. He is a student.
2、主语+不及物动词:e.g. We work.
3、主语+及物动词+宾语:e.g. Henry bought a dictionary.
4、主语+及物动词+双宾语(间接宾语+直接宾语):
e.g. My father bought me a car.
5、主语+及物动词+复合宾语(宾语+宾补):e.g. Tom made the baby laugh.
注:其他各种句子都可由这一种基本句型扩展、变化或省略而构成。
这是非常重要的,不需要理解,背下来吧
(三)并列句的分类
1、表示连接两个同等概念,常用and, not only…but also…, neither…nor…, then等连接。e.g. The teacher’s name is Smith, and the student’s name is John.
2、表示选择,常用的连词有or, either…or…, otherwise等。e.g. Hurry up, or you’ll miss the train.
3、表示转折,常用的连词有but, still, however, yet, while, when等。e.g. He was a little man with thick glasses, but he had a strange way of making his classes lively and interesting.
4、表示因果关系,常用的连词有so, for, therefore等。e.g. August is the time of the year for rive harvest, so every day I work from dawn until dark.
这里大家记住这些连词就够用了.如果一下子记不住这么多,就记一个两个,记住有的时候不要和自己较劲
(四)高考考点探讨
1、简单句的五大句型是最基本的句型。虽然近几年单纯考查这种基础句型的题不多,但是在阅读中有时需借助于划分句子成分去理解,在书面表达中,没有最基本的遣词造句的能力是不可能用地道的英语句子来表达清楚的。
2、祈使句、反意疑问句和感叹句是高考命题的热点之一。有时把祈使句与反意疑问句结合于一体来考查。一个题目,几个考点,是近几年命题的发展趋势。
3、高考对简单句、并列句和各种复合句的考查常表现在对连词的选择和使用上。如:and, but, or, while,以及其它连接名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句的连接词、关联词。
4、各种主从复合句的考查常常与动词的时态联系在一起,以宾语从句与状语从句最为明显,时间从句与条件从句中,如果主句是将来时,从句则用一般式表将来,这一点在高考中经常考查。
如:We will go outing if it doesn’t rain tomorrow。

高考语法复习二、主谓一致
在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,其动词必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。寻其规律,大致可归纳为三个原则,即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近一致原则。
(一)语法一致原则:语法上一致就是谓语动词和主语在单、复数形式上保持一致。
1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:His father is working on the farm. / To study English well is not easy. / What he said is very important for us all. / The children were in the classroom two hours ago. / Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.
注意:由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。如:What I bought were three English books. / What I say and do is (are) helpful to you.
2、由连接词and或both … and连接起来的合成主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。如:Lucy and Lily are twins. / She and I are classmates. / The boy and the girl were surprised when they heard the news. / Both she and he are Young Pioneers.
注意:① 若and所连接的两个词是指同一个人或物时,它后面的谓语动词就应用单数形式。如:The writer and artist has come.; / ② 由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every more than a (an) , many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:Every student and every teacher was in the room.. / No boy and no girl likes it.
3、主语为单数名词或代词,尽管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式;若主语为复数,谓语用复数形式。如:Mr Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China. / Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground. / She, like you and Tom, is very tall.
4、either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。如:Each of us has a new book. / Everything around us is matter.
注意:① 在口语中当either或neither后跟有“of+复数名词(或代词)”作主语时,其谓语动词也可用复数。如:Neither of the texts is (are) interesting. ② 若none of后面的名词是不可数名词,它的谓语动词就要用单数;若它后面的名词是复数,它的谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如:None of us has (have) been to America.
5、在定语从句时,关系代词that, who, which等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如:He is one of my friends who are working hard. / He is the only one of my friends who is working hard.
6、如果集体名词指的是整个集体,它的谓语动词用单数;如果它指集体的成员,其谓语动词就用复数形式。这些词有family, class, crowd, committee, population, audience等。如:Class Four is on the third floor. / Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.
注意:people, police, cattle等名词一般都用作复数。如:The police are looking for the lost child.
7、由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”构成的短语以及由“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语作主语,其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。如:There are a lot of people in the classroom. / The rest of the lecture is wonderful. / 50% of the students in our class are girls.
注意: a number of“许多”,作定语修饰复数名词,谓语用复数;the number of“…的数量”,主语是number,谓语用单数。
8、在倒装句中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:There comes the bus./ On the wall are many pictures. / Such is the result. / Such are the facts.
(二)逻辑意义一致原则:逻辑意义一致就是谓语动词的数必须和主语的意义一致(因有时主语形式为单数,但意义为复数;有时形式为复数,但意义为单数)。
1、what, who, which, any, more, all等代词可以是单数,也可是复数,主要靠意思来决定。如:Which is your bag? / Which are your bags? / All is going well. / All have gone to Beijing.
2、表示“时间、重量、长度、价值”等的名词的复数作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式, 这是由于作主语的名词在概念上是一个整体,如:Thirty minutes is enough for the work.
3、若英语是书名、片名、格言、剧名、报名、国名等的复数形式,其谓语动词通常用单数形式。如: “The Arabian Nights”is an interesting story-book.
4、表数量的短语“one and a half”后接复数名词作主语时,其谓语动词可用单数形式(也可用复数。如:One and a half apples is (are) left on the table.
5、算式中表示数目(字)的主语通常作单数看待,其谓语动词采用单数形式。如:Twelve plus eight is twenty. / Fifty-six divided by eight is seven.
6、一些学科名词是以 –ics 结尾,如:mathematics, politics, physics 以及news, works等,都属于形式上是复数的名词,实际意义为单数名词,它们作主语时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:The paper works was built in 1990. / I think physics isn’t easy to study.
7、trousers, glasses, clothes, shoes, 等词作主语时,谓语用复数,但如果这些名词前有a (the) pair of等量词修饰时,谓语动词用单数。如:My glasses are broken. / The pair of shoes under the bed is his.
8、“定冠词the + 形容词或分词”,表示某一类人时,动词用复数。
(三)就近一致原则:在英语句子中,有时谓语动词的人称和数与最近的主语保持一致。
1、当两个主语由either … or, neither … nor, whether … or …, not only … but also连接时,谓语动词和邻近的主语一致。如:Either the teacher or the students are our friends. / Neither they nor he is wholly right. / Is neither he nor they wholly right?
2、there be句型be动词单复数取决于其后的主语。如果其后是由and连接的两个主语,则应与靠近的那个主语保持一致。如:There are two chairs and a desk in the room..
注意:Here引导的句子用法同上。

语法复习三:名词性从句
在前面我们已经知道了什么是句子.我们可以这样解释什么叫从句:在一个句子的前面加上一个连接词,这个句子就变成了从句.如果这个从句做了主语,它就是主语从句.其它的以此类推.
注: 1.特殊疑问句本身可以做从句,它不需要加连接词.
2.所有的从句要使用陈述语序. 陈述语序: 句子第一个词永远是主语;第二个词可能是情态动词助动词等加上动词,或者是动词本身.
名词性从句相当于名词,可分别作主句的主语、表语、宾语和同位语。因此,名词性从句分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位从句。
名词性从句,顾名思义,它具有名词性.所以可以作主语,宾语等等.回忆一下句子成分那一章
(一)引导名词性从句的连接词
1、连接代词:who, whose, whom, what, which。有词义,在从句中担任成分,如主语、表语、宾语、或定语等。
2、连接副词:when, where, why, how。有词义,在从句中担任成分,作状语。
3、连接词:that, whether, if, as if, that
(二)主语从句
1、主语从句在复合句作主语。
Who will go is not important.
2、用it作形式主语,主语从句放在句末。
It doesn’t matter so much whether you will come or not.
3、that引导主语从句时放在句首时,不能省略。
That he suddenly fell ill last week made us surprised.
实用例句:
Is it true that he will be punished seriously by the headmaster?
Does it make any difference who bought these gifts?
How strange it is that these children are so quiet!
注意: 表示是否,只能使用whether.
(三)表语从句
1、表语从句在复合句中作表语,位于系动词之后。
The question was who could go there.
2、引导表语从句的连接词that有时可省去。
My idea is (that) we can get more comrades to help in the work.
注意: 表示是否,只能使用whether.
(四)宾语从句
1、宾语从句在复合句中作宾语。引导宾语从句的连词that一般可省略。
I hope (that) everything is all right.
2、介词之后的宾语从句,不可用which或if连接,要分别用what或 whether。
I’m interested in whether you’ve finished the work..
I’m interested in what you’ve said.
3、whether与if都可以引导宾语从句,常可互换。但下面情况不能互换。
if和whether区别
①宾语从句是否定句时,只用if,不用whether。
e.g. I wonder if it doesn’t rain.
②用if 会引起误解,就要用whether。
e.g. Please let me know whether you want to go.(此句如果把whether改成if,
容易当成条件句理解)
③宾语从句中的whether 与or not直接连用,就不能换成if;不直接连用,可换。
e.g. I don’t know whether or not the report is true.
I don’t know whether/ if the report is true or not.
④介词后的宾语从句要用whether引导。whether 可与不定式连用。whether也可引导主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句,还可引导让步状语从句,以上均不能换成if。但引导条件从句时,只能用if,而不能用whether。
It depends on whether we have enough time.
They don’t know whether to go there.
Please come to see me if you have time. 状语从句
实用例句: 使用it作形式宾语
I thought it impossible that he could finish this job in just two hours.
He left it to my judgment whether we should continue this project.
注意: 形式主语和形式宾语只有一个替代词: it
(五)同位语从句
同位语从句在句中作某一名词的同位语,一般位于该名词(如:news, fact, idea, suggestion, promise等)之后,说明该名词的具体内容。
I have no idea when he will be back.
The fact that he had not said anything surprised everybody

二、用适当的连词填空:
1. I can’t decide ____________ dictionary I should buy.
2. That’s ____________ he refused my invitation.
3. I am very interested in ____________ he has improved his pronunciation
in such a short time.

三、选择填空:
1. Do you see _____ I mean?
A. that B./ C. how D. what
key: D 宾语从句 that引导宾语从句无词义,也不作成分.mean是及物动词,必须有宾语.所以不选A; how是副词,也不能作mean的宾语.what I mean, what I did, what I said,等是一个非常重要的名词结构.
2. Tell me_____ is on your mind.
A. that B. what C. which D. why
key: B what is on your mind 是what名词结构.句意:告诉我你的心事.
3. We must stick to _____ we have agreed on.

语法复习四:定语从句
(一)定语从句一般由关系代词和关系副词引导
1、关系代词:who, whom, whose, which, that, as
2、关系副词:when, where, why
关系代词和关系副词必须位于从句之首(大家想一想什么叫从句来的? 在一个句子前面加上连词.在定语从句中这个连词叫做关系词.关系词的概念是:既要起连接作用,又要在从句中做成分),主句先行词之后,起着连接先行词和从句的作用, 同时在从句中又充当句子成分。
e.g. She is the girl who sings best of all.(关系代词who在从句中作主语)
The comrade with whom I came knows French.
(whom在从句中作介词with的宾语)
关系词的概念是:既要起连接作用,又要在从句中做成分,那么怎么作这个成分呢(下面的用法要牢记哟):
3、关系代词和关系副词的用法:1)当先行词为人时用who 作主语,whom作宾语;2)当先行词为物或整个句子时用which ,可作主语或宾语;3)先行词为人、物时用that ,可作主语或宾语;4)whose用作定语,可指人或物;5)关系副词when(指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语,where(指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语),why(指原因,在定语从句中作原因状语)。
定语从句分为: 限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句.怎么区分,对于我们初学者来说记住:非限制性定语从句前面或者后面有逗号!
(二)限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句
1、限制性定语从句:从句与主句关系密切,去掉从句,主句意义不完整,
甚至不合逻辑。
e.g. I was the only person in our office who was invited.
(去掉定语从句,意思就不完整)
2、非限制性定语从句:从句对先行词关系不密切,去掉定从句,意思仍然完整。形式上用逗号隔开,不能that用引导。
e.g. Tom’s father , who is over sixty,(看好这就是非限定性从语从句.注意到逗号了吗?) still works hard day and night.(who引导非限制性定语从句,整个句子可分成两句来翻译)
(三)使用定语从句时特别注意的几个问题
1、that与which的区别。
1)用that而不用 which的情况:①先行词为不定代词all, anything, nothing, …;②先行词有最高级修饰,有序数词修饰;③先行词有only, very, any等词修饰;④先行词既有人又有物时。
e.g. There is nothing that can prevent him from doing it.
没有什么能阻止他不干那件事。
The first place that they visited in Guilin was Elephant Trunk Hill.
在桂林他们所参观的第一个地方是象鼻山。
This is the best film that I have ever seen. 这部电影是我看过的最好的一部。
Mr Smith is the only foreigner that he knows.
史密斯先生是他认识的唯一的外国人。
2)用which而不用 that的情况:①引导非限制性定语从句;
②代表整个主句的意思;③介词 + 关系代词。
e.g. He had failed in the maths exam, which made his father very angry.
他数学考试没有及格,这使他的父亲很生气。
This is the room in which my father lived last year. 这是父亲去年居住过的房子。
注意: that与which的区别非常多了,很难记住. 一句话语法: 逗号后/介词后使用which,其它用that一定不会错
3)as引导定语从句时的用法
①as引导限制性定语从句通常用于the same … as, such … as结构中。
e.g. I want the same shirt as my friend’s. 我要一件跟我朋友一样的衬衫。
Such machines as are used in our workshop are made in China.
我们车间使用的这种机器是中国制造的。
②as引导非限制性定语从句既可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后,用来修饰整个句子。通常用下列句型:as is known to all, as is said, as is reported, as is announced, as we all know, as I expect 等。
e.g. As I expected, he got the first place again in this mid-term examination.
正如我所预料的那样,他在这次期中考试中又获得了第一名。
3)as 引导非限制性定语从句时与which的区别
①当主句和从句语义一致时,用as;反之,用which来引导非限制性定语从句。
e.g. He made a long speech, as we expected.
He made a long speech, which was unexpected.
②当非限制定语从句为否定时,常用which引导。
e.g. Tom drinks a lot every day, which his wife doesn’t like at all.
一句话语法: as 用法—
1. 固定结构中,比如 such... as so...as to ...;
2.如果句子译成正如...一样,一定使用 as
2. 关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词单数还是用复数应由先行词决定。
e.g. The man who lives downstairs speaks English fluently.
住在楼下的那个人英语说得很流利。
The students who are in Grade Three are going to climb the hill tomorrow.
一句话语法: 看一个第一个例子, who 指代的是哪个, the man, 所以只能是 who lives
3. 定语从句有时不直接紧靠先行词,中间由一个定语、状语或谓语隔开。
e.g. There is an expression in his eyes that I can’t understand.
4. 引导定语从句的关系副词有时可以用“介词 + which”来代替。
e.g. October 1, 1949 was the day on which
( = when ) the People’s Republic of China was founded.
为什么会是这样: 关系副词=介词 + which?
October 1, 1949 was the day which the People’s Republic of China
was founded on.
看一下上面这个句子,看懂了吗? which 在从句中做on的宾语(宾语有两个,前面讲过的,一个是动词宾语,另一个是介词宾语). 再看下面这个例子:
October 1, 1949 was the day when the People’s Republic of China was founded.
等量代换!
5. 当定语从句中谓语动词是带介词或副词的固定短语动词时,短语动词的各个固定部分不要拆开。
e.g. The sick man whom she is looking after is her father.
6. 介词在关系代词前,只能用which和whom,且不能省略;介词在句尾,关系代词可有which, that, whom, 口语中也可用who,且可省略。
e.g. The man (whom/ who/ that) you were talking about has come to school.
高考语法复习四:定语从句
很多同学看了很多语法书, 可是觉得自己做题的时候, 自己对语法掌握得还不是很好. 当然原因很多. 其一就是很多同学在研究语法(这是语法学家做的事情), 比如哪些词可以做主语, 背得很熟, 可是做题时却用不上. 其二就是基本的语法规则没有掌握 本站推出语法复习专题, 从高考的角度来讲语法 希望对有需要的同学有帮助.

语法复习四:定语从句
下面我们来做练习:
一句话语法: 看看从句缺主语吗?
缺,先行词指人还是物?
不缺,往下来
缺宾语吗?
(注意要看好,一是动词有没有宾语;二是介词有没有宾语)
缺,哪些先行词可作宾语?
不缺,怎么办? 考虑用关系副词呀,就是 when where why
注意: 如果你发现关系词后面的名词前面什么也没有,光秃秃的,一定要考虑是不是应该用whose

高考语法复习五
语法复习五:强调句、It的用法、省略和插入语
一、强调句
(一)强调句句型
1、陈述句的强调句型:It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(强调主语且主语指人可以用who,当然也可以使用that)+ 其它部分。
强调句式只是把句子中某些词(被强调部分)改变位置,所以把强调结构(it is/was... that/who)去掉之后,句子一定是完整的
e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
2、一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/ was提到it前面。这是重点
e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
3、特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其它部分? 一定要注意,这是出题点,也是考点,掌握它的最好方法是多记几个这样的句子,最后一定会融会贯通的.
e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
认真研究下面的例句.体会一句话语法: 强调句式只是把句子中某些词
(被强调部分)改变位置,所以把强调结构(it is/was... that/who)
去掉之后,句子一定是完整的
4、强调句例句:针对I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
句子进行强调。
强调主语:It was I that (who) met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.
强调宾语:It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday.
强调地点状语:It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday.
强调时间状语:It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.
5、注意:构成强调句的it本身没有词义;强调句中的连接词一般只用that, who,即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此,that, who不可省略;强调句中的时态只用两种,一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时,用It was … ,其余的时态用It is … 。
(二)not … until … 句型的强调句 这也是出题点和考点,掌握的方法: 多记几个这样的句子,最后一定会融会贯通的.
1、句型为:It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其它部分
e.g. 普通句:He didn’t go to bed until/ till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
2、注意:此句型只用until,不用till。但如果不是强调句型,till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not … 已经是否定句了,that后面的从句要用肯定句,切勿再用否定句了。
(三)谓语动词的强调
1、It is/ was … that … 结构不能强调谓语,如果需要强调谓语时,
用助动词do/ does或did。
e.g. Do sit down. 务必请坐。
He did write to you last week. 上周他确实给你写了信。
Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时,务必(千万)要小心啊!
2、注意:此种强调只用do/ does和did ,没有别的形式;过去时用did ,后面的谓语动词用原形。
二、It的用法

The year 2006 sees a sharp increase in the number of overseas travelers compared with the year 2001, when the number was already more than doubled of the year 1996. It’s a good thing that Chinese tourism is developing very fast. And yet, reports about people’s bad manners flood in. Some are even asked if all Chinese spit and litter everywhere. The poor behavior has done great harm to the image of China, which is really shameful.
China has long been regarded as a country with good manners. Everybody should keep some do’s and don’ts in their mind to guide their behavior in public, home and abroad. Win respect for yourself and our country!

One possible version:
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets.. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinion, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.

近年来,一些西方节日在中国越来越流行。这种现象在网上引起热议。请根据下图描述中国人过洋节的情况,谈谈你对这种社会现象的看法,并将你写的东西在该英语论坛上发表。
要求:1. 表达连贯,逻辑正确。2. 字数100-120 参考词汇:情人节:Valentine’s Day
Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day and ect. are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy on them. But at the same time, people seem to have less enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mooncake Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without knowing the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, hold parties and have fun.
In my opinion, the celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures
and other cultures. Besides, the celebration can also make our life more interesting. However,
we should make great efforts to preserve and enrich our own traditional culture.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%) think out parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work studies and rest.
While about 30% of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying.
Yours truly,

近来,越来越多的学生在校外租房而不愿住大寝室。请根据下面提示,一分为二地用英语写一篇短文,说说两者各自的好处与坏处,并表明自己的观点。
1. 学习时间; 2. 安全; 3. 自由性; 4. 与同学交往; 5. 学习效果。
注意:可从其他角度阐述,但两方面的理由都至少要有两条;词数100左右。
Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dorm. Instead, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages for both. Living in a dorm can increase friendship and cooperation between classmates. And of cause it is safer. A dorm is more like a society, wich enables students to learn to a-dapt to each other, thus preparing for the social life later. As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for study as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have more time and devote yourself to studying whole-heartedly. But there may appear some safety prob-lems as you live outside of the school.
Anyhow, as a student, I prefer living in a dorm.

Glad to learn you’re coming to Beijing in a couple of days. My family and I are looking forward to your visit and we are so glad you can stay with us while you are in Beijing. We have got everything ready for you so as to make you feel at home.
On the day you arrive, my father and I will meet you at the airport and in the evening we will have a nice dinner party at home, I’m sure you will like all the delicious Chinese food.
During the following days, I will show you around many places of interest in Beijing, including the Great Wall, which is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. We will spend some time touring around downtown Beijing, such as Wangfujing, Xidan and Qianmen, where you can do some shopping if you like. Of course, as it is the largest one in the world, Tian’anmen Square is a scenic spot we can’t miss. Another exciting moment we will share is going to the 2007 New Year Concert given by China National Traditional Orchestra, which is held at famous Vienna Golden Hall, Austria during the Chinese Spring Festival every year.
The Spring festival, like the carnivals in western countries, is a special joyous/joyful occasion of celebration for Chinese as well as other many Asians. If you can stay in Beijing long enough, you will be able to share the pleasure of it with us.
I believe we will have much fun together. WELL, SEE YA SON, BYR! Li Ming

Nowdays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long.Students have different opinions about it. Some of the students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get in touch with society.They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies. Therefore, they have lst interest in their studies.
Some others think school is the best place to get knowledge so they should put their heart into their lessons. Some students lack the ability to control themselves.Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something that will influence/affect their studies.
Personally I think, it is necessary to keep students at school.But at the same time schools should organize various activities so that students can enjoy their school life.(I don’t agree to keep students at school all day. Schools should offer students more free time to develop their personal interests.

Dear Sir / Madam
My family are planning a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland this winter vacation. I’ve got some information about the ticket prices on the Internet and now I’m writing for some detailed information.
I wonder whether children under 3 need to pay for a ticket and what is the difference between a peak day ticket and a special day ticket. Is it possible for us to get a discount if we buy tickets as a group? Can we book tickets through the Internet? Besides, I’d like to know if we are allowed to cancel our ticket bookings if we cannot make the trip for personal reasons.
I am looking forward to your reply

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve recently had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
About 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said,especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
In my opinion, ---

众所周知,2008年奥运会将在北京举行。为了办好这次国际盛会,北京市将进一步改善环境,修建更多的体育场馆。与此同时,提高市民的素质和修养也势在必得,因为文明的举止在国际交往中非常重要。作为年轻人,我们自身也存在着一些不文明行为。请列举你所观察到的一些不文明行为(三种以上),并就此做出评论或提出建议。
It is known to all that the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. In order to make it successful event, we will improve the environment of Beijing and build more venues . As the same time ,it is necessary for us to improve the quality and culture of the citizens as manners play an important role in international communication. I notice that sometimes some young people don’t behave properly in our daily lives. For example ,spitting in public places can be seen somewhere .The lawns are entered in the park although it is not right to do so .The flowers in public garden are picked .What is worse , rubbish and plastic bags are thrown on the ground in the street .
In my opinion, these bad behaviors will make bad impressions upon visitors to China . So every one of us should form good habits from now on.

Dear Jane ,
I have already told you about the job I did last summer in the International Camp for children , do you remember ? And this year they are looking for people for the same job so I have thought about you . Why don’t we do it together ?
You will work with children between 8 and 12 and will help with the outdoor activities , sports competition and children’s games . The camp is situated in a wood , close to a river . It is such a beautiful place ! Everybody sleeps in tents , it is very exciting . We have only 5 hours’ work a day so it gives us enough free time to visit the area and do some sport activities on our own . As well as the accommodation , the food is free . It is not wonderful , but it is not the most important .
(The contact with children , the feeling of freedom , the sense of responsibility and the life in the nature make from this camp an unforgettable experience.)
Let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in it , but don’t hesitate too much , it is worth !
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon .

I am a senior three student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in senior three, shouldering heavy loads, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I’ll not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it is a relaxation to watch TV after a day’s hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. Now we’ve at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news, programs if entertainment, sports or science.

3.呼吁社会各界重视食品卫生与安全;打击牟取暴利的不法商贩。

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a food poisoning incident. Several days ago, my neighbor family ate a bag of fake food from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and brought up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale. Fortunately, another neighbor passed by only to find the accident and immediately called the ambulance, which carried them quickly to hospital. After several hours’ treatment they finally escaped from death.
From this all of us have realized the importance of food safety. As some illegal business men are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be charged by law. Meanwhile I do hope the whole society shall begin taking actions to protect people’s life safety.

高考是全社会关注的大事,学校和家庭表现尤为突出。家庭成员对考生从学习到生活给予无微不至的"关怀",结果却给考生带来负面影响。根据图画所描述的内容写一篇文章,并发表自己的观点(夹叙夹议)。词数120左右。
As the College Entrance Examination is drawing near,________________________
As the College Entrance Examination is drawing near, the situation is getting worse and worse. From the picture, we can see that Li Ming is "studying hard". There are many books for him to read and many papers for him to do. How poor he is! At the same time, all his family are also busy working for him.
Nowadays, many parents expect too much of their sons or daughters. They hope that their sons or daughters study hard in order to be admitted to an ideal college or a key university. It is for this reason that parents are strict with their children. However, they don’t realize what they have become a heavy burden or a great pressure. It is the hard work or the great pressure that changes their children that much.
So I hope parents provide a proper environment for their children. Only in this way, will they try their best and succeed at last!
本文是夹叙夹议类的文章,主要反映家庭对考生的特别"关注"给他们带来负面影响。在写作过程中,对主题要审准、审清,对发展过程和结果进行叙述。

Dear Sir,
I'm writing to tell you something about our discussion on the topic“Whether Middle School Students Can Carry Mobile phones (Cell phones)" at the class meeting.
Forty percent students agreed, for they thought it was convenient for them to communicate with their relatives and friends. They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for some information and store some useful information in the m. Besides, they could play games for rest if they feel tired after a long time's study.
However, sixty percent of us were against it. They said the radiation of cellphones was harmful to health, and the ringing sound did somewhat affect the cellphone holders and others. Also, cellphones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy to lead them to compare with each other.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the majority. It is not suitable for middle school students to have cellphones. We can get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books to enrich ourselves.
Best wishes.
Yours
Kate

One Sunday morning, there were some people in Zhongshan Park. At a stand, a woman was buying an ice – cream when a young man behind her snatched her handbag away. She shouted: “Stop thief! He’s snatched my bag!” Hearing this, a few people began to run after him. There was an old man sitting quietly on a bench nearby. As the snatcher was running past him, the old man quickly picked up his umbrella and put it between the snatcher’s legs. The young man fell down on the ground. Soon two policemen came and caught him. The woman thanked the old man, and the people around praised the old man for his cleverness.

Dear editor.
Recently a survey has been done to find out how middle school students spend their pocket money.
___________________________________________________________________________
Dear editor, Recently a survey has been done to find out how middle school students spend their pocket money. In this survey, both junior students and senior students spend most their money on books, sacks and playing games, still some money goes to clothes, banks, sports, and so on. The survey shows that about 44% of seniors prefer books to sacks (37%)and playing games (31%).On the other hand, only 32% of juniors will spend their pocket money buying books, while over a half buy sacks and 44% spend on playing games. Both seniors and juniors would not waste too much money in clothes or put it in banks.
I think too much sacks will not only makes us put on weight but also does herm to our health. In addition. if we play games without limit, we'll lose much precious time, which results in low grades. Furthermore, the money is hard-earned. I hope we students value our money as well as our time.

In order to help students develop their abilities in all fields, our school now has asked the teachers to make some changes in the grading system. This chart shows how it works.
The students’ final score will be made up of 5 parts. About 30% of it will come from their test results. The rest of the score is decided by the performances of the students in the following parts: 20% comes from your notes, and another 20% is decided by how you do your homework. If you take an active part in classroom activities, you can get another 20% of the score. Teamwork in class is also important. If you want a higher score, you should be good at working together with your classmates.
In my opinion, our school has made a good decision. This new grading system will certainly help to improve ourselves in all ways.

As is apparently shown in the chart above, many middle school students have problems both physically and mentally, with 70% of students having learning anxieties as well as bad eyesight, and a larger percentage lacking sleep. Coming next is the lack of physical exercise. 40% of the students surveyed won't obey their parents or teachers. Still fewer claimed not to have enough communication with others.
So far as 1 am concerned, we students should balance our physical exercise and studies. Just like a saying goes:" All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy," without a sound body one cannot achieve anything; however, too much attention has been paid only to studies. Therefore, I suggest we be given less homework and more time for out-of--classroom activities to solve all the problems. Only in this way can we lead a healthy life.

A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time.
A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time. From the pie chat, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36 % of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.
In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students’ interests in reading and music.

Do you understand this cartoon ? Let me tell you . One day ,the son wanted to help a little girl up when she fell over , but his mother stopped him and said , “Don’t do that , otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down .” A few days later , the mother was shocked at seeing her son just let the fallen oil bottle be . She asked him why he didn’t put it in place , but the boy talked back , “If I had straightened the bottle up , you would have thought that I did it .”
I disagree with what the mother did in the story . I think parents should set a good example to their children . They should not only care for their children’s health , but their minds . They should let their children know it’s a pleasure to help others who are in trouble . We live in the society which is a bit family for all of us . Everyone should do something good to build up our society .

Dear Mr. Li,
Last Sunday, I went to do some reading in your library. Over the time 1 was there, I found something unpleasant. Therefore, I' d like to voice nay opinions, which, I hope, would be of help for you to create a more comfortable place for readers.
First, there are few" new books on the shelf, and most books are not popular today. Second, some books are not sorted in proper order, making it difficult for readers to find what they want quickly. Third, the assistants didn't offer good service. Instead, they were chatting. In addition, they took no notice of the fact that a light wasn't working. Leave this state of affairs to stay the same, and I am afraid there will be fewer and fewer readers.
So, for the sake of readers, I suggest that you change all these as son as possible.
Yours,

Dear Smith,
How are you? How time flies! Now the winter vacation was over and I have come back to school again.
We had 20 days in all for the holiday, during which we had the most important Chinese Festival—the Spring Festival. It took me about a week to visit my relatives and attend family parties, as it is a traditional custom in China. Of course, I spent most of the time doing my lessons. As you know, I will take the National Examination in June and there’s a short time ahead. Every day I did some English reading materials, practiced writing compositions, worked out a number of
science problems and so on. When I got tired, I would do something to relax myself, like playing basketball with my friends, listening to music, surfing the Internet, playing games, and everything that helped to recover my energy.
In a word, I had a full, busy and wonderful holiday. How about you? I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

Dear Editor,
Recently, a discussion has been held in our school on whether it is reasonable for the universities to admit students through interviews. The results are as follows:
60% of the students support this action. They express that interviews can evaluate a student in a more thorough and comprehensive way. It can encourage students to develop their own interests and personalities. What’s more, with the development of society, a more open and efficient way to test a student’s abilities is needed.
On the other hand, the other 40% students are against this idea. They argue that first, interviews may be subjective and one-sided, which could lead to unfairness. Second, not all students are good at showing their talents in interviews. Last but not least, a student can’t be judged in only three or five minutes.

From this table, we can see that a middle school student in China has as many as 12 different subjects in a week. A child under this schedule will have to go to school every day including a half of Saturdays. The total studying time in a week adds up to as many as 45 hours.
Knowledge is important. But this does not mean what you get out of the text books. “Pure” text-book knowledge can be useless without combining it with practice. It becomes worse if it is acquired at the cost of the students’ health and sense of happiness.
So what we should do is to reduce the academic burden of the students. Add in more “free time” for them. The students may find studying more interesting and will be more willingly to do it under better health conditions.

Why Students Have Tutors(家教)?
Les’s take one class, either in primary or high school, as an example and divide it into three groups: the slow, the middle, and the fast learners. In the past, the slow learners used to have tutors. Today, however, it seems all of them have tutors for one reason or another.
The slow learners need tutors because they can’t catch up with others with their own efforts. They have difficulty in understanding the teachers and doing their homework. So after – class tutoring is really important to them. But the problem is that they may become dependent on tutors and not work very hard in class.
As to the middle group learners, they worry about being surpassed and turn to tutors, too.
What about the fast learners? Though they are confident about their present position, they are not quite satisfied. They fix their eyes on a high goal. They desire to learn more in order to be more competitive later.
I think they have the right to have tutors, though I have no tutors.

What is happiness in my mind?
Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students, believe that if they have much money or large possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have much money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can own everything .
I don’t quite agree with the above points. I don’t think money means happiness. We can’t buy many of the things with money, such as health and knowledge, I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my happiness comes from my study.

Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations: Should we choose a good major or a good university first? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.

How to build an economized society
Our government is aiming to build an economized society. It is everybody’s duty to work hard to achieve this goal including us students.
Recently, the statistics in the report of one certain school in two school terms suggests that the expenses of electricity, water and paper are surprisingly large and growing rapidly, which draws our attention.
As a common member of society, we must keep the following points in our minds. Firstly, make sure that the lights and all the other electric facilities are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room. Secondly, try to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used and the wide water can be reused for more purposes before being thrown into sewers. Thirdly, save paper as much as possible in our everyday life. It is even better to reuse it.
In a word, if we pay much attention to our everyday behavior and take actions to reduce waste, we can make contributions to an economized society.

关于捐款
关于捐物
1.捐款可以直接帮助人们购买生活必需用品或用于重建家园等。
2.中学生无生活来源,无钱捐献。
1.捐物可以旧物利用。
2.捐物可能造成浪费,因为有些人得到的捐物并非自己所需要的物品。
参考词汇:生活必需品 daily necessities
We often give money to the people in poor or disaster-stricken areas. Some students don’t think it a good way to help people there .However ,some prefer helping the unfortunate with money.
In their opinion, money can be used to buy daily necessities and can help people rebuild their hometowns ,while sometimes the things people there receive are not what they need actually.
But some other students think that giving used clothing to the people in those areas is better .Many people ,especially in rich areas and in cities ,have much clothing they no longer like or need. By giving it away to the needy people we can make the best use of it . Besides ,we are just students ,and we have no incomes of our own.

How nice to hear from you again.
Dear Jack,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in our school. In short, things have been improving since the school began to carry out exploring study.In the past, the teachers always kept on explaining the points in class. We students just listened and took notes. But now we often discuss and try to solve the problems raised by the teachers or ourselves.After class, we enjoyed different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. For example, we can read what we are interested in. We ccan go to the library or surf the Internet for various kinds of information.
In a word, we are now masters of study, and we are happy.
Best wishes.

据报载,日前北方某知名作家走上街道,公开乞讨。其原因是他没有象其同事一样坐班,领导便停发他的工资。
请以“作家要不要坐班”为题,写一篇字数约100字的英语短文,简述其事并发表自己的看法。(文章开头已给)。
It is reported that a well-known writer went to the street begging
It is reported that a well-known writer went to the street begging because of his unpaid salary caused by his not working in the office . It caused the widespread concern whether writers need to be in office or at home to do the writing .
Even though opinions differ , I want to speak out my voice . Well I prefer the ideas writers should stay at home . For one thing , the good writing is the production of inspiration which can be spoiled by staying in the office doing nothing at all . For another thing , to stay at the office getting the same salary every month can somehow encourage laziness .
Considering every factor offered above , I think it is high time that we regarded the phenomenon as a sign to take measures to help the writers enjoy the freedom writing at home providing us wonderful works

阅读下面漫画,先对漫画的内容进行描述,然后对这一现象发表自己的看法。(100词左右)
参考词汇:
西瓜皮:water-melon skin
长凳:bench
One possible version
The boy and the girl in the picture sat on a bench talking merrily while eating a water-melon. When they went away they left the melon’s skin on the bench, making it very dirty. They didn’t want to take any trouble throwing it into the dustbin although it was very near where they were sitting. Instead, they said that there would be someone who should clean the rubbish.
However, what they did violate public morality. If everyone behaves in this way, the world will be a big rubbish dump with flies flying round and people will live in a world of diseases. Besides, dustmen will have a very, very hard job to clean the world we live in.

My opinion on copying others’ homework
It is known to us all that some students copy others’ homework. As students, we have to do plenty of homework both at home and at school, but sometimes we have some homework which is too difficult for us. On the other hand, some students are lazy, and are not interested in their lessons. They don’t work hard. In order to finish the assignments and please their teachers, some students copy others’ homework.
In my opinion, it is wrong to copy others’ homework because it breaks the school rules. Students should be honest and try to finish our homework by ourselves instead of by copying. Even though we have trouble doing our homework we can ask our classmates or teachers for help.

一、写作
1、Dear John,
I was excited to hear that you would come to China next month. Now let me tell you something different you may meet here. To begin with, the weather here is totally different from that in your place. It hardly ever rains but whenever it does, it rains heavily. So you’d better bring a raincoat and overcoat.
Another big difference is food. The Chinese food is quite different from yours. You have to try to get used to it, and learn how to use chopsticks. I’m sure you can do it.
Finally please bring me a big American map if possible. Thank you very much.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
Yours

9、Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to our English Corner. This Corner was set up three years ago. Every Sunday morning, students from different schools gathered around here. Many college students and some foreigners often join us, We practice spoken English by talking about everything we are interested in. We also exchange our experience in English study. We all have a good time here. Thousands of people have been here since it was set up.
We think that we have learned a lot by taking part in activities here. It is a real supplement to our English class and it is welcomed by students. Their parents and teachers. They all think it is helpful. If you want to know more about the corner, you may talk to the students here.
10、Well, the first place I suggest that you visit is the Great Wall, the longest wall in the world, which is said to be one of the wonders in the world. It has a history of more than twenty centuries. It is amazing to see such a huge wall was made entirely by hand.
The other place worth visiting is the Palace Museum, which was built in 1406. Twenty-four emperors once lived there. from there the ruling emperors issued orders. You can learn a lot about Chinese history by visiting this Palace.
What a pity that you can’t stay longer, otherwise, you could visit many other historic places and beautiful scenes such as Summer Palace, Bei Hai park.. and so on.
11、Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.
12、Dear Mr. Du,
I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t go to school today. I’ve caught a cold because I went swimming yesterday.
This morning I had a headache and had a fever. The doctor advised me to stay in bed for two days.
Now I’m writing to you to ask for two days’ sick leave.

15、Dear Jack,
I was very glad to receive your letter on the tenth of February. You ask me something about Lu Xun and his works since you began to study Chinese literature. Now let me tell you something about him.
Lu Xun was a well-Known Chinese writer, he was not only a writer, a thinker, and translator, but also a founder of modern Chinese literature. His novels have been put into many languages and some of novels have been made into films, such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Year’s Sacrifice which expose sharply the old society. The late Chairman Mao spoke highly of him. Some of his novels have been collected in high school and college textbooks. Since you are learning Chinese literature, I think reading Lu Xun’s novels will benefit a lot.

16、My hometown is an economic-open-zone. It is a town on the sea with a population of three hundred thousand. Before the liberation it used to be a fishing village. Most people lived on fishing. There was no industry. And there were only few primary schools here.
Since the open-door policy, a lot of foreign businessmen invested here. A lot of factories have been built. Economics have developed rapidly and big port has also been built, which is connected with many ports of other ports both in and out of our country. A new university now has been founded. Three thousand students have already graduated from it. I am sure in the near future our hometown will become more modern.

41、Road Safety
Every year a lot of people are killed or injured in road accidents. How can we make the roads safer? Remember the following traffic rules.
When you ride a bike, keep to the right side of the road. Don’t cross the road or turn left at a red traffic light. Give a hand signal if you want to turn or stop.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways, right and left. If the road is clear, it is safe to cross. The correct way to cross is to walk quickly, but not to run. If you run across the road, you may fall down.
If you see small children or old people waiting to cross the road, it is a kind deed to help them to cross in safety. We should teach small children not to play or ride on the roads.
Always obey these rules, you’ll find it much safer to walk or ride on the road.
42、Our Monitor
Li Ming is our monitor. She is tall, healthy and lively. She does well in all subjects. She is fond of sports and is good at singing and dancing.
Li Ming works hard at English. When she came to the school, she had quite a lot of difficulties with the language. But she was not afraid of them and always tried hard to overcome them. She was active in class and did a lot of practice after class. No pains, no gains. With great efforts she made much progress in English study.
Li Ming is modest and always ready to help others. She is very strict with herself in her work and daily life. She sets us all a fine example.
43、The Seasons
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In spring the weather gradually gets warmer and everything comes back to life. The peasants are busy with sowing.
When summer comes, the weather gets very hot. It rains quite often. It is a busy season for the peasants.
Autumn is the best season of the year. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold. The sky is blue and cloudless. At night millions of stars shine in the sky. It is the time for harvest.
Winter is the last season of the year. The days become shorter and the nights longer. The weather is cold and windy. But the peasants are still busy preparing for the next spring ploughing.
44 My Home Town
My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.
In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.
I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.
45、A Visit to Beijing Zoo
Last Sunday morning, my friend and I went to visit the Beijing Zoo. We went by bike. It took us about half an hour to get there. When we got there, it was already crowded with people. There were a lot of foreign visitors, too. It is said that the Beijing Zoo is the largest in Asia and one of the largest in the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of animals. It world take a whole day to see all the animals there. So we decided to see some of the most interesting ones. We saw the elephants first and then the monkeys. Finally we went to see our favourite “friends”--the giant pandas. We were delighted to see them waving to us. We really had a wonderful time in the zoo.
46、A Traffic Accident
Yesterday morning, I was surprised to hear that my friend Allee had been hit by a car and was in hospital now. The other day he was going to cross a street. He was very careful and didn’t go until he saw traffic light turn green. But hardly had he got to the middle of the street when he saw a car suddenly appear on his right-hand side and come directly towards him. It was too late for Allee to dodge. He was hit by the car and thrown a few meters away. He was sent to hospital immediately and had an operation. When I went to see him last night, he was out of danger but still looked pale.
47、My Brother
Li Ping’s brother is a PLA man. He is a handsome, tall young man with big eyes and broad shoulders.
He was born in 1971. He was a good student in school. When he was seventeen, he finished middle school. Then he joined the People’s Liberation Army. In the army, he studied hard and took an active part in the military training. In 1991, he went to Anhui Province to help in fighting against the flood disaster. He did a lot of good deeds there.
Yesterday afternoon Li Pings brother came to our school and gave us a talk. We’ve learned a lot from him.
48、A Good Harvest
In spite of the flood disaster, a good harvest is still in sight.
Yesterday we went to a nearby village to help the peasants get in the crops. We left our school early in the morning. It took us half an hour to reach the village. As soon as we got there, we joined the peasants in their harvesting work. They taught us how to cut rice, and how to tie it. It was in the fields that we had our lunch. After lunch, we had a short rest. We were fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the countryside. It got dark when we returned home. We were very tired, but we felt very happy.
49、A Page from My Diary
Sunday, Sept. 10 Fine
Today is Teachers’ Day. In the morning, I attended the school celebration, at which several teachers were given medals for having completed 30 years of teaching. Mr. Li, my English teacher, was one of them.
After supper my classmates and I went to see Mr. Li. He said that he would devote the rest of his life to the cause of education. He also encouraged us to work hard at our lessons. I was inspired by what he said and made up my mind to be a teacher like Mr. Li when I grow up.

52、Books are called “King’s Treasures/Wealth” because they have something as valuable as gold and silver. They have the riches of knowledge.
Kings keep their valuable objects carefully locked up and keep the keys themselves. Nobody can touch their valuable things. Yet the riches of knowledge are entirely different. Anyone can have the key to the riches of knowledge. The key is simply “READING”. Anyone who can read can open the door of the treasure house and go in and take what he likes. Why don’t we therefore learn to read and fill ourselves with the riches of knowledge which everybody admires?
53、I went for a pleasant outing on Saturday with some friends from school. We went to a lovely lake about a hundred kilometres north of here. We left by bus at seven o’clock in the morning and arrived at the lake at eight thirty. We spent the morning swimming and rowing small boats. Then we had lunch in a small restaurant by the lake. After lunch we climbed a large hill behind the lake and enjoyed the beautiful view from the top. We got back to the bus at around four o’clock and then we came back to town. We had a wonderful time.

21、This is township-run kindergarten. It was set up in 1985 by Red Star Township. Eighty percent of the children are from peasants’ family. At first, there were only three teachers and twenty children, there was very little equipment and it was poorly furnished so parents didn’t like to send their children there.
During the past few years, great changes have taken place. A new building has taken the place of the house made of the earth. The township provided the kindergarten with a lot of advanced equipment such as computers, pianos and TV sets. The number of children has increased to 200, the number of teachers to more than 20. Now parents are willing to send their children to the kindergarten.

And, sometimes, learning English is also a great fun.

27、During my high school years, I found physics, chemistry and maths specially interesting. Actually, I was interested in many subjects, such as biology, history, geography and English. But somehow I simply couldn’t remember the events of history or the facts about geography. I couldn’t remember the some of the English idioms well either. On the other hand, physics, chemistry and maths were easy for me to learn. After considering carefully my interests and talents, I felt that science might be the best choice for me. So I was determined to study natural science at college. After graduating from college, I would like to return to school to teach .
28、September 10 is our Teachers’ Day. In the afternoon, Zhonghua school held a celebration meeting, at which more than twenty old teachers each were praised with a medal for their over thirty years of teaching. Our principal made an enthusiastic speech at the meeting, and then the representative of the teachers and students gave a talk to us. After the meeting. We started performances played by some teachers and students, which were very interesting and instructive. We all had a wonderful time. I think we all should respect the teachers, engineers of human soul.
29、The Ways for Reading
To read successfully requires correct ways of reading. Here are some suggestions:
(1) Choose books which are neither too difficult nor too easy for you. If you find it too hard to go on with the book, just put it aside for the moment and change for an easier one;
(2) Choose books that not only interest you but also benefit you, for reading is not always for fun only;
(3) Some books are to be read roughly, but some must be read slowly and carefully. Don’t forget to take some notes whenever you feel it necessary;
(4) Don’t be shy to ask questions. Anyone who knows more than you do can be your teacher;
(5) Make good use of dictionaries, for dictionaries are your best teachers.
30、Why Do We Study English?
English is one of the most widely used languages in the world. It is spoken by nearly three hundred million people: in England, the United States, Australia, Canada and many other countries. It is one of the working languages at international meetings and is more used than the others. It is said that 60 percent of the world’s radio broadcasts and 70 percent of the world’s mail are in English. Millions of books and magazines are written in English, too. English is really a bridge to knowledge. With the help of English we can learn modern science and technology faster and better form the developed countries. In this way we can serve our country better.
31、Give Up Smoking
Smoking is a widespread habit even among school children. The number of young smokers is increasing.
It is reported that over two-fifths of the students in a certain school smoke, and some of them even steal money to buy cigarettes, This is terrible.
As we all know, smoking is harmful to our health. But it’s even more harmful to middle school students for it does great harm not only to their health but also to their mind.
Middle school students are future builders of the country. They should spend their time learning what is useful. So it’s really time that these young smokers made up their minds to give up smoking.
32、Spring Festival
The Chinese New Year is called Spring Festival, it usually comes in February. There is a name for each year. It may be called the year of the dog or the year of the monkey. And this year is the year of the cock.
Before the Now Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a general cleaning.
On the last day of the old year, there is a big family dinner. All members of the family try to be present at the meal. On the first day of the new year, people go to visit their relatives and friends. As a rule, children are given some money to buy things they like.
People often have a good time during the Festival.
33、How Cities Began
Do you know how cities began?
Long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from place to place, hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They began to live near one another. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. The villages grew very big. From there the cities began.
When machines came along, life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities grew very big.
34、Early Rising
Early rising benefits us in many ways.
First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.
Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.
Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work..
So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.
35、Spare-time Art Education in Shanghai
Tens of thousands of children is Shanghai are receiving art training in their spare time. More than 450 spare-time schools are helping the children in music, dancing, painting and calligraphy. Shanghai Children’s Art School, which has 16 branches and over 6,000 pupils, is the biggest of all.
Parents send their children to different schools to their different interests. The children have learned a lot of new knowledge which cannot be learned from books.
Spare-time art schools are supported by many parents. This new kind of school will surely be run better and better.
36、Our English Teacher
Our English teacher is a middle-aged woman. She has taught English for more than twenty years. She works very hard and has been a model teacher for many years.
She is kind to us. but she is rather strict with us. She always encourages us to speak and read more English. She often tells us that “practice makes perfect.”
She is very good at teaching and tries hard to make every lesson lively and interesting. She often gives us slide shows, teaches us English songs and helps us to put on short English plays.
She loves us and is always ready to help us. In fact, she is not only our good teacher but also our good friend. We all respect and love her.

It has been so long since I left home and came to the United States. Everything is getting on well with me. How about you? I promised to write to you once a week when I left home. But my busy study prevented me from doing so. Please forgive me for not being able to keep my promise.

234 Renmin Road
Hangzhou
Feb. 27, 1990
The Managing Editor,
China Daily
2 Jintai Xilu, Beijing
Dear Sir,
I am a student of the Foreign Language School. Every Friday afternoon, after the second class, we used to have time to see an English film, which we all took interest in . But from this term , it seems that we are having more and more classes in the afternoon, which makes it impossible for us to see the English films regularly. What is more, we have less time for rest or sports. I am sure it will do harm to our health as well as our study.
Would you please give us some support to stop this?
Yours sincerely,
Chen Ming
78、How to Make an Announcement
At times we have to announce some event we are going to have. Our announcement, which may be an oral one or a written one, has to be easy to understand.
In general it must contain four W’s and one H, which are Who, What, Where, When and How. These are important items to which attention is to be paid. How we arrange these things is entirely up to us.
79、Time Is More Valuable Than Money
People often say, “Time is money,” But in fact time is more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is lost, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.
The time we have is limited. Every second is precious. We should make full use of our time. But there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They kill away their time chatting, smoking, drinking or gambling, They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not leave what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.
