Space
Shuttle
Meant
by
NASA
to
be
the
workhorse
of
a
new
era
in
space
exploration,the
space
shuttle
has
been
involved
in
two
tragedies
and
a
great
leap
forward
in
our
understanding
of
the
universe.
Unlike
the
rockets
that
brought
astronauts
to
the
moon,the
shuttles
are
orbiters
that
have
been
designed
for
repeated
use
on
missions
into
space.Intended
to
be
used
on
as
many
as
100
launches,each
shuttle
also
has
the
ability
to
carry
satellites
and
other
large
payloads
into
space,and
can
transport
astronauts
to
and
from
the
International
Space
Station.
In
all,NASA
built
five
shuttles
for
space
flight—Columbia,Challenger,Discovery,Atlantis,and
Endeavour.The
first
flight
was
made
by
Columbia
on
April
12,1981.
Three
of
the
shuttles
still
exist
today.The
Challenger
shuttle
exploded
after
the
take off
on
its
10th
mission
in
1986,killing
all
seven
astronauts
on
board,including
a
New
Hampshire
civilian,Christa
McAuliffe.And
the
shuttle
Columbia
exploded
as
it
was
reentering
the
atmosphere
in
2003,also
killing
its
seven
astronauts.After
both
disasters,review
panels
issued
scathing
reports,saying
that
pressures
to
complete
missions
and
a
culture
of
complacency
had
led
to
an
underestimation
of
risks.
In
1993
astronauts
carried
out
a
complicated
repair
mission
to
install
corrective
optics
in
the
Hubble
telescope,whose
ability
to
see
far
beyond
the
reach
of
any
earthbound
telescope
had
been
clouded
by
a
flaw
in
its
mirror.A
final
repair
mission
to
the
Hubble
launched
on
May
11,2009.The
flight
comes
as
NASA
is
once
again
at
a
crossroad;the
agency
has
begun
laying
off
workers
as
part
of
the
decision
to
retire
the
shuttle
in
2010.The
Hubble
mission
thus
marks
the
beginning
of
the
end
for
the
space
shuttle,whose
greatest
legacy
might
very
well
be
the
role
it
played
in
the
repair
and
maintenance
of
the
telescope.
After
decades
of
use,the
shuttles
have
just
about
reached
the
end
of
their
lives,and
the
Bush
administration
announced
in
2004
that
it
was
bringing
the
program
to
a
close.President
Obama
has
ordered
a
review
of
the
NASA's
long heralded
plan
to
return
humans
to
the
Moon
and
of
the
Constellation
spacecraft
that
are
to
succeed
the
shuttle.

数以百万计的人们从电视上观看了首次登月,他们的心都提到了嗓子眼,因为他们十分清楚这次是多么艰难多么危险,以及要冒多么大的风险。
their
hearts
in
their
mouths为独立主格结构,在句中作状语。独立主格结构的构成:名词或代词+非谓语动词、形容词、副词或介词短语,其中名词或代词作为结构的逻辑主语,非谓语动词、形容词、副词或介词短语作为结构的逻辑谓语,这种结构有自己的逻辑主语,且其逻辑主语与句子主语不一致,故通常被称为独立主格结构。在句中一般作状语,表示时间、条件、原因、伴随状况等。它的位置相当灵活,可置于句首、句末或句中,常由逗号将其与句子其他部分分开。

______
a
life
span
of
around
20
years.
A.having
B.had
C.have
D.to
have
答案:A
提示:考查独立主格结构。句意:令人吃惊的是,蝙蝠是寿命很长的生物,有些能生存约20年。由于题干中逗号后的分句前没有连词,故应该用非谓语动词,所以首先排除B、C两项,然后分析该短语结构的逻辑关系,some与非谓语动词之间存在主谓关系,所以选A项。
(4)The

be
held
in
the
garden,weather
______.
A.permitting
B.to
permit
C.permitted
D.permit
答案:A

名词性从句
名词性从句在功能上相当于名词,可作主语、表语、宾语和同位语。名词性从句可分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句。名词性从句必须使用陈述语序,即“主语+谓语”的语序。
一、主语从句、宾语从句与表语从句
从句
定义
句型
例句
主语从句
在句子中起到主语作用的从句,叫主语从句。
It+be+形容词(obvious,true,natural,surprising,good,wonderful,funny,possible,likely,certain,probable,etc.)+that
从句。
It
is
certain
that
she
will
do
well
in
her
exam.她将会在考试中取得好成绩是毋庸置疑的。
It+be+名词词组(no
wonder,an
honour,a
good
thing,a
pity,no
surprise,etc.)+that
从句。
It's
no
surprise
that
our
team
should
have
won
the
game.我们球队应该赢得比赛,这一点没什么可奇怪的。
It+be+过去分词(said,reported,thought,expected,decided,announced,arranged,etc.)+that从句。
It
is
said
that
Mr.Green
has

宾语从句

常见的可以接从句作宾语的动词有see,say,know,imagine,discover,believe,tell,show,think,consider
等。
I've
begun
to
consider
what
to
do
next.我已经开始考虑下一步做什么了。
某些形容词或过去分词后常接宾语从句,这类词有sure,glad,certain,pleased,happy,afraid,surprised,satisfied
等,连词that
可省略。
I'm
afraid
you
can't
take
the
book
away.恐怕你不能拿走这本书。
表语从句
在句子中起到表语作用的从句,叫表语从句。
where,why,because,how等词引导的从句常作This
is
或That
is
的表语,表示地点、原因、方式等。
This
is
where
he
worked
ten
years
ago.这就是他十年前工作的地方。
表语从句
在句子中起到表语作用的从句,叫表语从句
主语是reason时,表语从句常用that引导,而不用because。

what常引导表语从句。

as,as
if
有时引导表语从句。

they
seemed
to
be.事情不像它们看上去的那样。
二、同位语从句
同位语从句是复合句的重要内容,也是高考考点之一。
在主从复合句中,作同位语的从句称为同位语从句。同位语从句一般用that,whether等词引导,常放在fact,news,idea,truth,hope,problem,information等名词后面,说明该名词的具体内容。换言之,同位语从句和所修饰的名词在内容上为同一关系。
引导词
从句特点
例 句
分 析
that
同位语从句意义完整,应用that引导同位语从句。
The
news
that
they
had
won
the
game
soon
spread
over
the
whole
school.他们比赛获胜的消息很快传遍了整个学校。
they
had
won
the
game说明The
news的全部内容,因此用that引导同位语从句。
whether
如同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“是否”的含义,应用whether引导同位语从句。
They
are
discussing
the
problem
whether
the
shuttle
will
take
off
on
time
in
such
weather.他们正在讨论在这样的天气里航天飞机是否会如期起飞。
the
shuttle
will
take
off
on
time
in
such
weather意义不完整,应加“是否”的含义才能表达the
problem的全部内容,因此应用whether引导同位语从句。
when
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“什么时候”的含义,应该用when引导同位语从句。
I
have
no
idea
when
he
will
be
back.我不知道他什么时候回来。
he
will
be
back意义不完整,应加“什么时候”的含义才能表达idea的全部内容,因此应用when引导同位语从句。
where
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“什么地点”的含义,应该用where引导同位语从句。
His
professor
gave
him
the
suggestion
where
he
should
look
for
a
stable
job.教授对他应该在哪儿找到一个安稳的工作提出建议。
he
should
look
for
a
stable
job意义不完整,应加“在什么地方”的含义才能表达suggestion的全部内容,因此应该用where引导同位语从句。
how
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“什么方式”的含义,应该用how引导同位语从句。
I
still
have
a
deep
impression
how
he
gave
me
relief
when
I
was
sad.在我悲伤的时候他是怎样宽慰我的,我仍然有很深的印象。
he
gave
me
relief
when
I
was
sad意义不完整,应加“如何”的含义才能表达impression的全部内容,因此应该用how引导同位语从句。
why
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“为什么”的含义,应该用why引导同位语从句。
Do
you
have
an
idea
why
he
hasn't
been
accepted
by
Qingdao
University?你知道他为什么没有被青岛大学录取吗?
加why和Do
you
have
an
idea连用,才能表达完整的意思。
who
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“谁”的含义,应该用who引导同位语从句。
The
question
who
should
do
the
work
requires
consideration.谁该干这项工作,这个问题需要考虑。
加who,从句中才有主语,句子的意义才完整。
which
同位语从句意义不完整,需增加“哪一个”的含义,应该用which引导同位语从句。
Zhang
Huiying
hasn't
solved
the
problem
which
university
she
should
prefer.张惠颖还没有解决好择校的问题。
which在同位语从句中作定语,表示选择关系。
what

General
gave
the
order

the
soldiers
should
carry
across
the
river
at
once.将军立即下达了战士们应带着什么过河的命令。
the
soldiers
should
carry
across
the
river
不是the
order的全部内容,且意义不完整,因此应用what引导同位语从句。
虚拟语气
一些表示“建议、命令、要求”的名词后所跟的同位语从句中,谓语动词用虚拟语气should+动词原形表示,should可省略。
This
is
our
only
request
that
this(should)be
settled
tomorrow.这就是我们唯一的请求:明天解决这个问题。
that
this(should)be
settled
tomorrow是request的内容,表示要求的内容。
三、同位语从句与定语从句的区别
同位语从句和定语从句的区别
同位语从句
同位语从句对名词加以补充说明,是名词全部内容的体现,且同位语从句的引导词that不在从句中作成分。
The
news
that
he
will
leave
for
Shanghai
is
true.他将要去上海的消息是真的。
that只起连接从句的作用,无具体词义,所以,此句是同位语从句。that不可省略。
定语从句
定语从句对名词加以限制,是名词内容的修饰性定语,且定语从句的引导词that在从句中作成分。
The
factory(that)we
visited
yesterday
is
a
chemical
one.我们昨天参观的那家工厂是化工厂。
that在从句中作宾语,所以此句是定语从句。that在定语从句中是关系代词,它在从句中充当一定成分——主语或宾语,有具体词意,作宾语时可以省略。
(1)As
many
as
five
courses

provided,and
you
are
free
to

______
suits
you
best.
A.whatever
B.whichever
C.whenever
D.wherever
答案:B
提示:句意:提供的课程多达五种,你可以任意选择最适合你的一门课程。分析句子结构可知所填部分在句中作主语,且根据句意可知选B项。whatever“无论什么”;whichever“无论哪一个”;whenever“无论何时”;wherever“无论何处”。
(2)Jerry
did
not
regret
giving
the
comment
but
felt
______
he
could
have
expressed
it
differently.
A.why
B.how
C.that
D.whether
答案:C
提示:句意:杰瑞不后悔作出评论,但他觉得他本可以用另一种方式表达。分析句子结构可知所填部分在句中起连接作用,且不需要什么意义,所以选C项。
(3)It
suddenly
occurred
to
him
______
he
had
left
his
keys
in
the
office.
A.whether
B.where
C.which
D.that
答案:D
提示:句意:他突然想到他把钥匙落在办公室里了。句首的it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,that引导主语从句在从句中不作成分,但不能省略。
(4)Everyone
in
the
village
is
very
friendly.It
doesn't
matter______
you
have
lived
there
for
a
short
or
a
long
time.
A.why
B.how
C.whether
D.when
答案:C
提示:分析句子结构可知,it作形式主语,真正的主语是其后面的从句。句意:村里的每个人都很友善,你在此居住的时间长短没有关系。根据句意以及从句中最后的or
a
long
time可知,此处C项正确。
(5)Evidence
has
been
found
through
years
of
study
______
children's
early
sleeping
problems
are
likely
to
continue
when
they
grow
up.
A.why
B.how
C.whether
D.that
答案:D
提示:
“______children's
early...grow
up”在题中作evidence的同位语,解释evidence的内容,为同位语从句,且为陈述句,应用that来引导。句意:几年的研究表明,孩子早期的睡眠问题很可能在他们长大之后继续存在。故选D项。
(6)The
limits
of
a
person's
intelligence,generally
speaking,are
fixed
at
birth,but
______
he
reaches
these
limits
will
depend
on
his
environment.
A.where
B.whether
C.that
D.why
答案:B
提示:句意:一般来说,一个人的智力极限在出生时就确定了,但是能否达到这些极限却依赖后天的环境。where和why引导名词性从句时,在从句中分别作地点状语和原因状语;that引导名词性从句时,在从句中不作任何成分,也无词义;whether引导名词性从句时,意为“是否”。故只有B项符合题意。
(7)It
is
by
no
means
clear______the
president
can
do
to
end
the
strike.
A.how
B.which
C.that
D.what
答案:D
提示:分析句子结构可知,it为形式主语,代替的是后面的主语从句,在主语从句中,及物动词do需要宾语,所以应选用连接代词what引导该从句。句意:总统能做点儿什么来结束这场罢工根本不清楚。
(8)It
doesn't
matter
______
you
pay
by
cash
or
credit
card
in
this
store.
A.how
B.whether
C.what
D.why
答案:B
提示:句意:在这家商店用现金或信用卡支付都是可以的。根据句中的or可以看出是两者,表示“或者”,构成whether...or...的形式。在此句中,it为形式主语,真正的主语是whether
you
pay
by
cash
or
credit
card
in
this
store。故选B项。
(9)We
promise
______
attends
the
party
a
chance
to
have
a
photo
taken
with
the
movie
star.
A.who
B.whom
C.whoever
D.whomever
答案:C
提示:由于空前没有名词或代词作先行词,所以此处不是考查定语从句,排除引导词who,
whom;由空后的谓语动词attends可知此处应该用主格的whoever,排除whomever;whoever引导宾语从句并在从句中作主语。故选C项。Module

1.本文为新闻报道,所以在文章的第一段要开门见山地交代本文的主题(topic),然后按照题目要求中内容要点的顺序展开叙述。
2.内容要点要齐全,叙述要点时要条理清晰,富有逻辑性。
3.人称以第三人称为主,时态以过去时和将来时为主。
英文新闻报道应注意
1)大体上,新闻文体的主体结构是由标题、导语、正文三部分组成。
标题(headline):浓缩概括全文的中心实质问题。用醒目的文字简明扼要地向读者揭示新闻的主要内容。
导语(lead
or
introduction):通常为文章的第一段或第一、二段。提供主要话题和最主要的事实。
正文(body):引入更多的与主题相关的事实、背景材料等。
2)新闻报道通常要客观地报道事实,用事实来说话,一般不涉及作者的个人观点。
