[参考答案]
Dear fellow students,
Our monitor suggests that we have “Friday News Hour”. I think it is a good idea.
Everyone knows that we are busy all day. Seldom do we know what is happening both at home and abroad, let alone what we can do for our country. By reading newspapers we can get more information about the world outside. So I think “Friday News Hour” can broaden our mind and enrich our school life. What’s more, it will help us improve our reading skills.
As for my suggestion, I think it’s better to have it twice a week. And we should make a choice about what we’ll read. I am sure everyone will benefit a lot from this activity.

collect侧重于指所收集的东西是分散的或能一次处理一件的。尤其用于把一些东西作为收藏品收集起来。如:collect stamps/coins“收集邮票/硬币”。

答案:C
4.be known for因……而出名
[思维拓展]
Tony was very unhappy for ______.
A. having not been invited
B. not having invited
C. having not invited
D. not having been invited
解析:be unhappy for的意思是“因……而不高兴”,介词for后接动名词形式作宾语。句子时态表明事情发生在过去,所以本题中应用动名词的完成式,且用被动表达“被邀请”,在前面加not构成否定形式,所以使用not having been invited。
答案:D
Ⅲ.句型归纳
1.But there is no need to worry if you have never skied before.但如果你以前从没滑过雪,你也不必为此而担心。
该句中有There is no need to do sth.这一固定句型。
[思维拓展]
There’s no need for/of+n. ……没有必要。
There’s no need for sb. to do/of one’s doing某人干……没有必要。
There’s no need to do...干……没有必要。
have (no) need of/for...某人(不)需要……
in need of..需要……
in time of need在必要的时候
[注]in need of中,of不能用for代替。
①There is no need for you to apologise for it.
②There is no need to come if you don’t want to.
③There is no need to be so rude.
I don’t think ______ is any need for a guide on our journey.
A. it B. this
C. there D. that
解析:根据题意:我认为我们的旅行不需要任何向导。There is not any need for...“不需要任何……”,题干中有I think,要否定转移。
答案:C
2.—How long/wide/high/tall is...
这种句式用来询问或回答物体或人的高矮、长短、宽窄等。要注意答语中的“数词+量词+adj.”,用在句中作表语或定语使用。类似结构:“数词-量词-adj.”在句中只可作前置定语,且其中的名词只用单数。比较下面一组句子:
The man is five feet tall.(表语)
He is a man five feet tall.(后置定语)
He is a five-foot-tall man.(前置定语)
I notice a man five feet tall in the room.(宾补)
They are going to build a hotel ______ and the tallest in the city.
A. 150 metre high B. 150 metres high
C. 150-metre high D. 150 metres-high
解析:由句子结构可知此处应作后置定语,则不可使用复合形容词的形式,故A、C、D均不对。
答案:B
3.Should you have enough energy left after a day on the slopes, you can take a dip in the pool, work out at the gym or go dancing in one of the city’s many hotels and clubs.在滑雪的斜坡上呆了一整天之后,如果你还有足够的精力,你可以去水池里游泳,到体育馆健身或者到城市的众多旅馆和俱乐部里跳舞。
该句中should you have enough energy left...为一个省略的虚拟语气倒装结构。在虚拟条件句中,如果从句以if引导,谓语部分由“had/should/were+主要谓语动词”构成,可以把if省略,把had/should/were提前构成倒装。如:
①If it should rain, what should we do?=Should it rain, what should we do
②If it were not for his illness, he could do it better.=Were it not for his illness, he could do it better.
③If he had brought some money with him, he would have bought it.=Had he brought some money with him, he would have bought it.
—The taxi only took ten minutes to get to the hotel.
—______ you were coming today, I’d have met you at the railway station.
A. Have I known B. I have known
C. Had I known D. I had known
解析:在答语中,由I’d have met you...可知该句应该用虚拟语气,根据上下文的句意,应该表示与过去事实相反,其从句部分应为:If I had known you were coming today...; if省略则应为:Had I known you were coming today...
答案:C
4.Apologise when necessary.当有必要时道歉。
该句中的when necessary为一省略结构。有些表示时间、地点、条件、方式、让步状语从句,如果谓语包含有动词be,主语又和主句的主语一致,或者主语是it,常把从句中的主语和谓语的一部分,(特别是系动词be)省略掉。如:
Look out for cars when crossing the street.
If not well managed, irrigation can be harmful.
Fill in the blanks with articles where necessary.
Generally speaking, ______ according to the directions, the drug has no side effect.
A. when taking B. when taken
C. when to take D. when to be taken
解析:本句采用的是省略形式,句子的主语为the drug,与take之间是被动关系。故用过去分词when taken=when it is taken。
答案:B
