25. 方式副词
副词的构成方式:形容词+ly
1) 一般形容词在词尾加-ly。如:clear-clearly,great-greatly,slow-slowly

2)动词不定式具有名词,形容词和副词的特征,因此它在句中可作主语,表语,宾语,宾语补足语,定语和状语。
A. 作主语 如:To learn English well isn’t an easy job.

33. 原因状语从句
引导原因状语从句的连词有because, as, since, for等。

Since we are close friends, we often share secrets.
3)as表示十分明显的原因,一般说明因果关系,重点在主句。解释为“由于……”“鉴于……”,相当于since,但语气更弱。引导的从句常位于句首。如:

As the house is rather dirty, we have do some cleaning today.
典 题 解 析
1. _______of the two colours is OK. In fact, they are very nice.
A. Both B. Either C. All D. Neither
解析:答案选B。
根据题意判断谈论的是两种颜色,而all表示“三者以上都”,所以可以首先排除。如果使用both句中的谓语动词应该是复数的are而不是单数的is。如果使用neither,表示两种颜色都不好,与后面的句子意思相反。选择either表示两者之中任选其一都可以,原因是它们都不错,这样符合句子意思。故应选B。
2. __________ is it from your home to the shopping center?
A. How long B. How often C. How much D. How far
解析:答案选D。
how long用于询问时间长短,如:How long have you been here?how often用于询问事情发生的频率,如:How often do you play football?how much用于询问东西的价格,如:How much does the scarf cost?how far用于询问距离的长短。本句的意思是你家离购物中心有多远?所以使用how far。故应选D。
3. Now the air in the city is _______ than it used to be. We must take actions to improve it at once.
A. much better B. much worse C. the best D. the worst
解析:答案选B。
看完第一句后可以理解句子中用城市过去的空气质量和现在的进行对比,句中有比较的连词than,因此可以排除掉C和D选项,因为它们都是形容词的最高级形式。选项A和B同为比较级都合适,接下来就要根据后面的句子内容来判断了。我们必须立刻采取行动改善它,表示变化的方向是比过去的情况变得糟糕了。所以使用bad的比较级worse,而不是good的比较级better。这里much是程度副词用于修饰比较级,表示“糟糕的多了”。故应选B。
4. Nobody but Mary and her sister ______ from.
A. knows where he is B. knows where is he
C. know where he is D. know where is he
解析:答案选A。
首先,看到这样的句子要判断主语是什么。单个主语后加with, but,like,except等短语时,谓语动词仍用单数,如:My father with my mother has gone to New York. 题目中的主语是nobody这个复合不定代词,因此是单数作主语,谓语动词应该用knows,我们排除C和D选项。Know 之后是它的宾语成分,所以是一个宾语从句,宾语从句需要注意的是使用陈述句语序,A,B中只有A符合这一点。故应选A。
5. The doctor warned him __________ any more.
A. not smoke B. not to smoke C. should not smoke D. don’t smoke
解析:答案选B。
Don’t smoke any more.是一个祈使句。当祈使句用于间接引语的句子中时要转换成动词不定式的形式。如肯定的祈使句:Close the door before you go out. 改为间接引语时应该这样:My mother told me to close the door when I go out. 否定的祈使句则在动词不定式前加not。如:Don’t make any noise.改成Mary asked me not to make any noise.故应选B。
6. Who _______ you English Miss Cai _________.
A. teaches; does B. is teach; is
C. does teach; does D. teach; teaches
解析:答案选A。
teach是一个行为动词,在一般现在时中不须使用be动词,所以可以排除B选项。Who 作为特殊疑问词一般当作第三人称单数理解,所以D选项的动词形式不正确。特殊疑问句对主语进行提问时不用加助动词,故C也不对。同时还要注意第二个空,do可以作代动词,代替以前提到的动作,miss Cai第三人称单数作主语所以使用does,代替前面的teaches。故应选A。
7. There is __________ kangaroo in the zoo.
A. an eight-years-old B. a eight years old
C. an eight-year-old D. a eight-year old
解析:答案选C。
…years old这个短语在句中常用于表语,如:The boy is seventeen years old。而“数词-year-old”常在句中用作定语修饰名词,如:a thirty-year-old doctor一名三十岁的医生。Eight又是一个元音发音开头的单词,前面的冠词应该使用an。所以这里C是正确选项。类似的短语还有a hundred-meter-long trail, a two-hundred-word article等等。故应选C.
8. My father wrote me a letter __________ harder.
A. encourage me studying B. encourage me to study
C. to encourage me studying D. to encourage me to study
解析:答案选D。
My father wrote me a letter.是一句”S+V+IO+DO”结构的句子成份完整,因此鼓励我更加努力学习在句中是目的状语,动词原形不能充当目的状语,所以排除A和B选项。Encourage的用法是encourage somebody to do something所以C选项也是不正确的。故应选D。
9. We are sure you will find the film _________.
A. interesting B. interested C. interest D. be interested
解析:答案选B。
interesting是形容词 “令人感到有趣的”,interested也是形容词 “感兴趣的”,interest是名词 “兴趣”。句中we are sure是主句,we will find the film…”是从句。从句句子结构是 “S+V+DO+OC”缺少宾语补足语,补充说明电影的情况,电影本身不能对其他事物感兴趣,电影是有趣的,所以只能选择B。故应选B。
10. The headmaster ________ the students to leave the school early.
A. made B. let C. had D. ordered
解析:答案选D。
这一题中的A, B, C三个选项中的动词用法相近make somebody do something, have somebody do something, let somebody do something都是使用不带不定式符号to的不定式充当宾与补足语的,只有order是使用to do something 充当宾与补足语的。故应选D。

Dear sir:
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15 pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens’ books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of Dickens’ books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I don’t read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.
You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them at all.
Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours
Simon Walker

One Sunday afternoon John went to the river to fish. It was very cool by the river. It was John’s favourite place. After fishing for some time, John heard the noise of a plane. He looked up and saw smoke coming out of the plane. Then he saw a pilot(飞行员) jump out in his parachute(降落伞). The pilot was falling straight into the forest across the river. John at once knew that he was in trouble. John dropped everything and ran for help.
He soon reached the police station and told a policeman there about the plane and the pilot. The policeman called some of the other policemen and they drove off to the forest. After an hour’s search they found the pilot. His parachute was caught among the trees. He could not cut himself loose(松开). He was very happy to see the policemen and John. A policeman climbed up the tree and cut the parachute cords(绳索). The pilot dropped down. He was not hurt. He thanked John for bringing help for him.

Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology(技术). Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can’t imagine(想象) how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked(链接) to libraries, museums, science centers, labs(实验室) and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.
Is this a dream No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go to the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.
( ) 7. Who think that students don’t have to learn at school
A. Everyone B. The writer C. Some people D. The teachers
( ) 8. What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage
A. A school with many new computer.

Mary and her classmates were in a street in London. The sky was dark. This was Mary’s big day ---her first day in England.
Mary got out of a taxi. The driver carried a very heavy bag for her. They walked through the rain to the front door of a big house.
A small girl opened the door. She was four years old. Her brother stood behind her. He was only two years old. One minute later, a young woman came to the door.
“Welcome to London!” she said and she gave Mary her hand. “These are my two children, Elisabeth and Jerry.”
“Glad to meet you, Mrs. Frost!” said Mary with a strong Spanish(西班牙的)accent(口音).
The two children ran back into the living room.
“Don’t worry about them! They are a little shy. And please call me Diana! Now let me show you your room and then we can have a nice cup of tea. Or would you like some coffee ”
“This is your bedroom. You can enjoy the view(景色)of the Green Park and here’s a little desk where you can study. The bathroom and toilet are just opposite your door. Now I’ll go and put the kettle on.”
“Excuse me. What’s a kettle ”
“In England we use a kettle to make hot water. We can then put the hot water in a teapot or use it to make coffee.”
Mary was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled(困惑的).Perhaps her mother was right. The British people are quite different.

Many people think that the dinosaur(恐龙) is the biggest animal that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living, and it lives in the sea. It is called the Blue Whale. Blue Whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.
The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal; it is also one of the cleverest. We know that whales can talk to each other though we don not know what they are saying. We do not yet know how to ‘speak’ whale! One day perhaps we shall learn to speak to whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Whales are part of a family of animals called ‘cetaceans’. These are animals that live in the sea but unlike fish, do not lay eggs(产卵). They have live babies in the same way that cows and cats do, and give their babies milk.
There is a famous White Whale called Moby Dick. He was in a story by the American writer, Herman Melville. In his story, a sailor called Captain Ahab spends a lot of tome trying to find and kill Moby Dick.
Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. Men have killed them for thousands of years for food and other things. However, there are laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales, so perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.
( ) 7. The biggest whales are________.
A. small cetaceans B. White Whales C. Blue Whales D. Killer Whales
( ) 8. Whales can ________.
A. live on land B. talk to each other
