VII. 阅读理解
It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.
They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, "How many of you have completed all five questions?" No hand was raised. "How many of you have answered four?" Still no hands. "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats. "One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one." But the class kept silent. The professor said, "That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice. " Then, smiling, he added, "You will all pass this course, your education has just begun. "
The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.
1. Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?
A. Because it was their last exam in the college.
B. Because they knew there were only five questions.
C. Because they thought they were clever and talented.
D. Because they were allowed to bring any books and notes during the text.

The students found the teacher. What did she do to these boys? Could she give the students any reason why these boys should have remembered her?

Task 3 Listening
This section is meant to improve the students’ pronunciation.
T: Good! You all have done a good job. Now I will play the tape for you, listen carefully and imitate the pronunciation. At the same time pay attention to the language points in the passage.
Task 4 Language points
This step is to help the students understand the text, build their vocabulary and improve their abilities to put what they have learned into practice.
After listening.
T: Let’s look at the screen. I’ll explain some language points to you. (Show the slide).
1. To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.
1) “to get rid of ...” is used to express the purpose.
2) “preventing landfill and environmental problems” is used to express the result.
3) load ... with: put a load on
e.g 1). We are loaded with too much homework.
2). The truck was loaded with oranges and it was heading north.
2. No smoking will be allowed within a future city’s limits. “Within a city’s limits” means “within the permission of a future city”.
3. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.
“no matter where they live” here is equal to “wherever they live” and it is used as adverbial. If
“no matter where / what / how ...” is not used as adverbial, it can’t be substituted by “wherever / whatever / however ...”
e.g 1) Whatever you say, I won’t believe you═No matter what you say, I won’t believe you.
2) Whoever comes in last should close the door.(∨)
No matter who comes in last should close the door.(×)
4. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic. “With”structure: with+ noun / pron + Participle / Infinitive / prep phrase / adj / adv
e.g 1) I felt nervous, with him standing here.
2) With all the problems settled, he felt relaxed.
3) He is sure to succeed, with so many people to help him.
4) This is my first book, with the second to come out next month.
5) They all rushed out, with bags on their backs.
6) He sat there, with the door open.
Task 5 Practice
This task includes Exercises 3-5, designed to help the students to have a deep understanding of the text and help them to build their vocabulary. Teachers can ask the students to do the exercises individually, then check their answers with their partners, at last with the whole class.
T: Now that you have learned the text, let’s do some exercises to see how well you have understood the text and the words and expressions. Turn to Page 3 and let’s do the exercises here. Do the exercises on your own, and then check the answers with your partners. At last I’ll ask some of you to read out your answers.
Suggested answers:
Exercise 3: 1. disability 2. outdoors 3. solar 4. recreation 5. net 6. online 7. clinic 8. urban 9. mall
10. run out 11. surgery
Exercise 4: arrest→criminals; carry out→operation; load→huge spaceship; recycle→natural resource; rely on→alternative energy; waste→material
Exercise 5: 1. a risky business 2. outpatient 3. get rid of
4. senior citizens 5. free of charge 6. landfill
Step Ⅳ Discussion
The discussion is designed to develop the students’ imagination. Teachers can ask the students to discuss the questions in pairs and ask some students to tell the results of their discussions.
T: There are some predictions made in the passage. Do you think all of them will come true?
Ss: No, we don’t think all of them will come true.
T: Well, let’s have a discussion in pairs and find out which prediction is the strangest or most useful. And which do you think will come true first and which last.
After a few minutes.
T: OK! I’d like to know the results of your discussions. Any volunteers?
S1: I think “Forget smoking” is most useful. People in the future will pay more attention to their health and lead a more comfortable life, but smoking is bad for their health, so smoking won’t be allowed.
S2: I think the prediction about recreation is very useful. In that way people will enjoy a more happy and comfortable life.
S3: I find the prediction about “Batman nets” very strange. How police will use it to catch criminals seems very strange.
S4: I feel the prediction about telesurgery very strange. How will doctors diagnose illnesses for the patients?
S5: In my opinion, the prediction about cars will come true first, for now many motor cycles powered by electricity are on sale in shops, which is friendly to the environment, so they are very popular.
S6: Personally, shopping online will come true first. Now computers are widely used and it is likely that people will do their shopping online. Going shopping will become a form of entertainment.
S7: I believe the prediction about space travel will last come true. Because there is still a long way to go for us to develop space technology, and moreover the number of the people who is able to go on space travels is very limited.
S8: I think the prediction about garage ships will come true last. After all, people produce much more garbage than the ships can carry to space, what’s more, space technology needs further developing.
T: Well done! All of you have expressed yourselves fluently, and I think all of your opinions are reasonable.
Step Ⅴ Summary and Homework
Make a summary about the text and assign the homework.
T: Today we’ve learned the passage about the city of the future. We believe the city in the future will be more beautiful and life in the future will be more comfortable. But all these need our hard work now. Only by hard work can we build a beautiful future. Let’s work hard for the beautiful future. And the homework for today is as follows:
1. Read the text fluently and pick out the sentences you appreciate.

For example，young people like to do things without much 38 . It’s one of their ways to
39 that they grow up and they can 40 any difficult problems. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed. So when you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success 41 you ask before you really start doing it.

What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain (脑）going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.
Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help your body’s temperature rise quickly.
But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.
Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance (体能) is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.
Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.
Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories (卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels (血糖）from getting too high.
46. ________ can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.
A. Morning people B. A warm shower
C. Our body temperature D. Our body clock
47. A morning person will ________.
A. get up late but work better B. work better early in the day
C. only work in the early morning D. go to bed late every night
48. What is the best time for physical performance?
A. Between 3 pm and 6 pm. B. Between 7 pm and 10 pm.
C. Between noon and 4 pm. D. Between 5 am and 8 am.
49. Why is it best to eat when we’re active?
A. Because eating makes the brain unable to think quickly.
B. Because it makes our blood sugar levels higher.
C. Because our body can burn more calories.
D. Because our body needs a short sleep.
50. What is the best title (题目）for this article?
A. How can we work better B. The best time to exercise
C. How can we keep healthy D. The perfect time to do something

On a cold winter afternoon, I was walking home from a supermarket. I was feeling a little tired, as I was carrying my shopping bags. They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park. As I walked towards the gate of the park, I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag in his dirty hand. He walked to a nearby dustbin and started looking through it.
I suddenly felt sad. I knew this man would take all that he could get, so I went up to him and gave some fruit to him. The man looked up in surprise and took what I gave him. A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then some drinks, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, boy.” Then he went away，singing a song. Just then, I realized what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help. Everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness. Giving sometimes doesn’t cost you much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The man’s happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together.

Most families have computers now. In the past, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now less and less people eat home-cooked food anymore.
And people don’t talk to each other anymore. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t anymore.

Ⅵ.One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a middle school student. I have recently learned from the newspaper that you are going to build a factory here in my hometown. There is no doubt that it is good for the development of my hometown and it will provide us with more jobs. Most of us stand by the project. However, some of us are worried that the factory will make much noise and pollute the environment of the area. I would like to know whether you have any plans for the environment protection.

Dear editor,
I’m a student in a university of Wen Zhou. I’m a little shy.
I want to chat with my teacher very much. One day, a good friend told me that our teacher would move home and she needs some help. So I wanted to help her. After we finished doing that, our teacher invited us to have a meal. I was so shy that I ate a little and said, “I’m full.” The teacher thought she didn’t treat me very well, but I didn’t want to make her unhappy. I know it’s all because I’m too shy. What should I do?
Please help me!
Li Ning
Dear Li Hua,
Thanks for your last e-mail.
I want to talk to you. I think all the teachers love honest and hard-working students and you are one of them.
But you are too shy. It doesn’t matter. I think you can talk more with your teachers, talk about anything you want. You will be outgoing, you won’t be shy. I think all the teachers love students who want to be teachers’ friends. They are willing* to be listened and to be students’ friends. Come on, please!

Studying too much?
Kids enjoying their weekend in Fujian by picking fruit NEWSPHOTO
Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today's Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends.
According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend. Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours sleep each night because of study.
And this isn't only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old has to get up at 6:45 am on Saturday. Then she has a whole day of classes. On Sunday, she goes to extra* classes for math and physics. But Ji doesn't complain. She says her classmates all work very hard.
Finding time to have fun
Zhao Yang, 13, is from Dalian, Liaoning. As a Grade 8 student, Zhao's weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. "I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like," he said. Some students are much luckier. They don't have to go to school on the weekend. Ding Yi, a Grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. And she's a top student. During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8 am. Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV. Ding said her mother once wanted her to try extra classes. But when they asked Ding's teacher about it, the teacher said it was unnecessary. "My teacher said I don't need to push myself too much. Learning well at school is enough," Ding said. "I feel pretty lucky."

Monday of this week is Christmas* Day. Did you get some presents on this Christmas Day?
A Christmas Day is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve (December 24th), people usually tell their children to put their stockings* at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.
Children believe Father Christmas will bring them Christmas presents.
Actually, Father Christmas is children’s father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into children’s bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer young, they know who Father Christmas really is.
Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up say “Merry* Christmas”. Then they help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents. But it is better to give than to receive.
In France, everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons* and white candles*. Trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night. Father Christmas is called Pere Noel in France. The Christmas meal is an important chance for family to get together with good?meat and the best wine. Not everyone sends Christmas cards.
In Germany, people love to decorate their houses with some beautiful small things at Christmas. Father Christmas brings presents in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, after people have been to a church meeting. The presents are then found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will ring a bell and call everyone to come to the room. On Christmas Day, some delicious food will be cooked.
( ) 53. What do all the British children do on Christmas Eve in the story?
A. They talk all the night. B. They sing and dance.
C. They put their stockings at the end of their beds.
D. They won’t sleep until Father Christmas comes.
( ) 54. What’s the meaning of “decorate” in the article?
A. 买 B. 装饰 C. 刷新 D. 点亮
( ) 55. Who is real Father Christmas according to this article?
A. Pere Noel. B. Children’s father. C. Children. D. Children’s mother.

Dear World,
My son starts school today. It’s going to be strange and new to him for some time. And I wish you would treat him gently.
You see, up to now, he has been the king of his own room. He has been the boss of the backyard. I have always been around to treat his wounds* and to comfort* his feelings.
But now things are going to be different. This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure*.
So, World, I wish you would take him by the little hand and teach him the things he will have to know.
Teach him there are heroes, leaders and friends in this world. Give him quiet time to think over the mystery* of birds in the sky, clouds in the sun and flowers on the green hill.
Teach him to believe in his own ideas, even id everyone else tells him they are wrong.
Teach him to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.
Teach him never to put a price on his heart and soul*.
Teach him gently, World, but don’t coddle* him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, and see what you can do. He’s such a little fellow*.

参考答案：
1~5 BAAAC 6~10 AABCA 11~15 ACCBA
16.C look at“看……”；look for“寻找”；look up“查阅”；look over “检查”。由前一句“不要害怕生词”可知，本句意为“你可以在词典里查它们”，故选C。
17.B 形容词修饰不定代词时应后置，故排除C、D两项；一般情况下，something用于肯定句，anything用于疑问句或否定句，又排除A项。故选B。
18.B recently “近来”；especially “尤其”；probably “可能”；nearly “几乎”。由句意“请远离垃圾食品！它对我们有害，尤其是对儿童！”可知especially符合句意。
19.C or “或者”，表选择；so “所以”，表结果；but “但是”，表转折；because “因为”，表原因。由答语句意“食物很差，但我们在那里仍玩得很高兴”可知前后为转折关系，故用but。
20. B 询问人口的数量时用“What is the population of...?”。
21.C 四个选项中有两个原级，两个比较级。题干中没有明显的标志，我们可以从句意上来推断。由上句“这个地方为露西办生日聚会不够大”可推知下句句意为“我们应该找一个更大的地方”，故此处填形容词的比较级bigger。
22.A arrive后可接介词in或at,接介词in表示到达大地方，接介词at表示到达小地方；get后常接介词to；reach是及物动词，其后接地点时不需要加介词。
23. D score “得分”；do “做”；succeed “成功”；win “赢”。句意为“这个足球队踢得很好，但是他们没有赢得比赛”。win的宾语是表示比赛的词语，如game, match, competition等，A、B、C三项均不符合题意，故选D。
24.D That’s right.“那是对的”；Not at all. “别客气”；All right.“行；好吧”；Never mind.“没关系；不要紧”。由上句句意“对不起，我错拿了你的书”知答语为“不要紧”。
25.B 本题考查比较级的用法。句意为“约翰，记住：你越细心，你犯的错误就越少”。“the+比较级... , the+比较级...”表示“越……就越……”。故选B。
26.B 由句意“对不起，我错拿了你的MP3。下次我会更小心的”可知，空格所在句中尽管没有than，但暗含比较之意，故用形容词careful的比较级more careful。
27.C 根据答语中的It’s quite near.“很近”可知，问句是询问距离，要用how far。across为介词，cross为动词，cross=go across。
28.B 本题考查It takes sb. some time to do sth.结构，意为“某人花费一些时间做某事”。其中it为形式主语，动词不定式短语作真正的主语。
29.D “one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数形式”表示“……中最……之一”。形容词最高级前要加定冠词the，而且interesting的最高级是在其前面加most构成。
30.B 主句是一般将来时，则if引导的条件状语从句应该用一般现在时表示将来。空格所在处的句意为“如果这个星期天不下雨的话，我们就去野餐”。
31.D 本题考查连系动词的用法。根据主语soup “汤”可知用连系动词taste “尝起来”。
32.C 本题考查advice的用法。advice是一个不可数名词，没有复数形式，故排除A、B两项。句意：“李老师，你能给我在英语学习方面提些建议吗？”“当然可以。首先你应当每天说英语。”
33. A 本题考查祝贺生日的日常用语。当别人祝贺生日时，被祝贺的人应当说Thank you.或Thanks a lot.表示感谢他人的祝贺，故选A。
34.B needn’t “不必，不需要”；can’t “不可能”；mustn’t “千万不要，禁止”。由答语中“昨天她起程去北京了”可知“不可能是她”，can’t be用于否定猜测，故选B。
35.C 由must引导的一般疑问句，否定回答要用needn’t或don’t/doesn’t have to；表示答应准许某人时情态动词可以用can或may，故选C。
36.B stay at home“待在家里”，为固定搭配。
37.A 由句中in a factory“在工厂里”，可知应选择动词work“工作”。
38.C during the weekdays“在工作日里”，为固定搭配。
39.A 联系下文可知史密斯先生的周末活动有规律。故选A。
40.B 由上句中的on weekends“在周末”以及on Saturdays“在星期六”可知，此处应是
on Sundays“在星期天”。
41.D 句意为“他的叔叔和婶婶在那儿有一个农场”，故选D。
42.A 由转折连词but可知句意应为“农场不大，但是总有很多事情要做”，故选A。
43.C 此处them指的应为animals，故应“给它们食物”。
44.A hungry“饥饿的”；angry“生气的”；funny“可笑的”；happy“开心的”，联系下文a
big meal“一顿大餐”可知，此处应为“他们都饿了”，故选A。
45.D give them a big meal意为“给他们一顿大餐”，故选D项。
46. B 由第二段所列举的几个问题可知。
47. C 由第四段第一句The third step is to study hard.可知C项正确。
48. A 由第四段第二句If you always get bad grades in the exam, your teachers and parents won’t let you join the soccer team.可知A项正确。
49. B 由“只有优秀的运动员才能加入学校足球队”可知，你需要锻炼你的 “技能”
50. A 通读全文及第一段内容可知。
51.C 通读短文可知，文章的第二段至第六段共提到了5种技巧。
52.C 读文章第三段可知，study在此表示“书房”。
53.D 由文章第三段的第二句“The study should have a desk, a chair and some study materials (资料)...”可知D项正确。
54.A 文章最后一句表明了作者对待考试的态度，由此可知A项说法错误。
55.A 整篇文章都是关于如何成为一名尖子生的技巧的，故A项正确。
56.to use 57.ask 58.to remember 59.quickly 60.to learn
61.a bit/a little 62.later on 63.to keep fit/healthy 64.Are, ready for
65.take part in
One possible version:
Dear Li Yang,
I know it’s not easy for you to learn English, but I have some advice that may help you. When someone speaks English, you should try your best to understand the main idea, not every word. If you always forget new words, you should practise them more. Another good idea is to make a pen friend you can send emails to. Finally, if you want to improve your grammar, you should ask your teacher and classmates for help.
I hope you will improve your English soon.
Yours,
Wang Hong

sight改为sights6. Hit by a lack of fresh air, my head ached.
由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。
句中“hit by a lack of fresh air”为过去分词短语作原因状语。过去分词或过去分词短语作状语时，可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式、伴随情况等，表示被动与完成。使用时应注意：
（1）过去分词的逻辑主语必须与句子主语一致(某些独立成分 如generally speaking除外)；
（2）过去分词表示的动作与句子的主语为被动与完成关系。①Bitten twice, the postman refused to deliver our letters unless we chained our dog.
那个邮递员被狗咬了两次后，他拒绝给我们家送信，除非我们把狗拴上。

(1) 现在分词作状语时，如果分词动作发生在主句动作之前，则分词要用完成式结构；表示方式、伴随的现在分词可位于主句之前，也可以位于主句之后，而表结果的现在分词只能位于主句之后。
（2）不定式作状语可以表示目的、结果或原因等。作目的状语时，其动作发生在谓语动作之后，可放句首也可放句尾。作结果状语时常与only, just等连用表示出人意料的结果；作原因状语时，一般放句尾，常跟在一些形容词或过去分词后说明产生这种情绪的原因。
(3) 现在分词和动词不定式作结果状语的差别
现在分词（短语）作结果状语，多表示顺其自然的结果；而动词不定式作结果状语则表示出乎预料的结果，常被only或just等修饰，构成only/ just＋to＋v. 的结构形式。（1） impression与其他名词的词义辨析
（2）speed up 与其他“动词+up”短语的辨析
（3）“疑问词+插入语（do you think 等）+陈述语序”句式的应用1. The little girl’s excellent performance made a deep _______ on the audience present.
A．impression B．sight
C．appearance D．expression
【解析】选A。考查名词词义辨析。句意：小女孩的精彩表演给在场的观众留下了深刻印象。 impression “印象”， sight “视力、情景”， appearance “表面、外表”， expression “表情、表达、词语”。2. The rise in the cost of living has been _______ in recent years.
