[参考答案]
It is high time we saved water
As is known to all, water is the source of life. Men as well as plants and animals depend on water to live. Water is used for cooking, drinking, washing, swimming, farming and so on.
However, it is high time we saved water now. With population increasing fast, more water is being needed; with more water being polluted, less water is available. If we don’t save water, lack of water would cause terrible disasters to humans.
What can we do to save water Here are some measures to take. Firstly, we should strengthen the sense of saving water. Secondly, we should try our best to protect water from being polluted. Thirdly, recycling water is an effective way to save water.

recommendation n. 推荐,介绍信
①Can you recommend me a good dentist
②He recommended that we (should) read the novel.
③I recommended you to follow your doctor’s advice.
2.besides adv.

A. much experience; a lot of; experiences
B. many experiences; much; experience
C. many experiences; much; experiences
D. much experience; a lot of; experience
解析:much修饰不可数名词,故排除C项;作“经验”讲时,experience是不可数名词,“经历”是可数名词,由句意可知“他一生中有许多有趣的经历”。
答案:A
Ⅱ.短语突破
1.more than超过
[思维拓展]
①more than=over超过(less than不足)
②more than不仅仅
③more...than...与其说是……,不如说是……
④no more than+数词/a(n)仅仅 (=only)(强调少)
⑤no more...than...
与……一样都不……(两者皆否定)
⑥not more than+数词=at most至多,不超过(less than)(不强调少,不带感彩)
⑦not more...than...不如……(前者不如后者)
[指点迷津]
“more than+从句”时常具有否定意义,可译为“并非,不是”。
①He ate no more than a slice of toast for breakfast.
②Tom is no more diligent than Jack.
③There were not more than 8 women in the store then.
How disappointing! They have finished ______ 5% of the work.
A. no more than B. no less than
C. more than D. not less than
解析:no more than“仅仅”,no less than“不少于”, more than“超过”, not less than“至少”,根据“How disappointing!”可知任务完成太少。
答案:A

get through的用法归纳:
①通过,穿过②使(议案等)通过
③考试及格④接通或打通电话
⑤抵达目的地⑥经过……后仍然活着
⑦完成,结束⑧用完,花光
All of them got through, that is to say, they all passed the exam.

go through通过,经历,搜遍
pass through从……中经过,走过……
look through浏览;仔细查看
live through活过(一段时间),经过……后仍活着
break through突破(障碍)
Most people can’t ______ the day without at least one cup of tea or coffee.
A. get at B. get on
C. get by D. get through
解析:此题考查了动词短语的辨析。get at“到达;了解,掌握;意指等”;get on“上车;过活”;get by“通过;走过”;get through“到达;通过”。句子的意思是:大部分人没有一杯茶或咖啡就不可能度过这一天。
答案:D
3.send for派人去请
[思维拓展]
send out发送(通知、请柬等);发出(光、热、声音等)
send away解雇;打发……走
send up发射
send sb. doing使……(迅速)做……
send sb. mad使得某人发疯
①The sun sends out light and heat.
②He sent his son away to school in Japan.
He ______ the children so that the house might be quiet, because they were too noisy.
A. sent up B. sent for
C. gave out D. sent away
解析:句意为“他把孩子打发走了为了家中安静”,send away“把……打发走”。A项“发射”,B项“派人去请”,C项“分发;发出”,均不合题意。
答案:D
4.call up召唤;使人想起;召集、调动(力量、人员等);提出(议案等);打电话给……
[思维拓展]
call on访问,探望(某人)
call at访问(某地)
call for需要,提倡,邀约,去取
call back叫回;回电话
call round来访,逗留;叫(出租车等)
call off喊走,取消(交易、比赛等)
Your letter ______ the days when we worked together in the countryside 20 years ago.

答案:A
5.all the same都一样,无关紧要;尽管如此,虽然,然而(相当于副词短语)
[思维拓展]
just the same(=all the same)同样地,照样
be the same with sb./sth.(某人/某物)也一样
Same to you!(=The same to you!)祝你也如此!(通常用于回答对方的祝福语)
Thank you all the same.尽管如此,还是要谢谢你。(通常用于对方没能满足你的要求或没能帮助你而表示道谢的答语)
—When shall we meet again
—Make it ______ day you like; it’s all the same to me.
A. one B. any
C. another D. some
解析:make it“规定时间”,本题尽管考查的是代词,但答题的关键却是最后一句话it’s all the same to me.“对我来说哪一天都一样”。由此看来,本题表示“你可以定在你喜欢的任何一天”,要用any, any用于肯定句,表示“任何一个”。
答案:B
Ⅲ.句型归纳
1.Once published, his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line.他的作品一出版就出了名,因为诗的每一行的末尾都不押韵。
Once published为Once his work was published的省略。在英语中,当状语从句中的主语与主句的主语一致或从句的主语为it,同时从句谓语又含有系动词be时,可将从句的主语和系动词be一同省略,留下其余部分。
[思维拓展]
all at once (=suddenly)突然
once in a while偶尔
once or twice数次,几次,一两次
once upon a time从前
once a week/month/year每周/月/年一次
once and for all最后一次,一劳永逸地
for once就这一回,仅此一次
once in a blue moon (口)非常高兴,十分愉快
[指点迷津]
once conj.“一旦……就……”,引导时间状语从句,主句用将来时,once从句用一般时代替将来时。as soon as“一旦……就”,引导时间状语从句,用法同once。但as soon as强调动作的紧接,而once从句具有条件的意味。
①Don’t talk while (you are) eating.
②I won’t go even if (I’m) invited.
③Go to him for help when (it is) necessary.
The research is so designed that once ______ nothing can be done to change it.
A. begins B. having begun
C. beginning D. begun
解析:该题考查省略句的用法。题干中so...that引导一个结果状语从句,在that后的结果状语从句中又含有一个once引导的时间状语从句,意为“一旦……就……”。此空应填begun,从句为省略句,省略了it和is,完整的句子应为once it is begun。
答案:D
2.Why read, and sometimes even write poetry 为什么读,有时甚至写诗呢?
why (not) do sth.是一个很常见的句型。肯定形式有时还含有责备的意味,否定形式则常用来表示建议。
[思维拓展]
why do...?=why do you do...?/why do people do...
why not do...?=why don’t you do...
why not?可表示“为什么不?为什么不行?”或“当然,好啊”等意。
①—You shouldn’t go out with him.
—Why not
②—Let’s go to the theatre.
—Why not
—I usually go there by train.
—Why not ______ by boat for a change
A. to try going B. try to go
C. to try and go D. try going
解析:“Why not do...?”表示建议,故排除A、C两项,try doing是“尝试一下做某事”;try to do sth.是“努力做某事”。
答案:D
3.Besides, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost.而且,不管诗被翻译得有多好,也会失去原著的某些精髓。
no matter how引导让步状语从句,意为“不管/无论多么/怎么”。如:
No matter what you said, I don’t believe you.
No matter who he is, it is wrong of him to do that.
no matter引导让步状语从句,必须在后面接how, what, when, where, which, who等词;有时no matter位于句末,省略某些与主句主语或宾语关系密切的成分。如:
No matter how hard you try, you’ll never lose your English accent.
You must return the book to us no matter when.
I wanted to see Jack before he left, but it is no matter.
______ you ask for will be given to you.
A. Whatever B. No matter what
C. That D. Which
解析:分析题干结构可知,空格处应引导主语从句,可排除B项;因所填选项在从句中作宾语,可排除C项;又因此处无选择意义,所以D项不可。
答案:A
