课件50张PPT。Meeting your ancestorsUnit 5 The Zhoukoudian Beijing Man Site is one of the most important world heritage(遗产) sites in China. Since the discovery was made in the 1920s, Zhoukoudian has become an important place for archaeologists from all over the world. At the site in the southwest suburb(郊区) of Beijing, there is, for example, the earliest evidence of the use of fire by humans. It has also been proved that people lived there continuously between 500,000 and 10,000 years ago.Today, however, Zhoukoudian is in serious danger. Parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain and exposure to the air. Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage. Pollution from nearby cement(水泥) factories has also contributed to the problem.
The site is extremely expensive to maintain(维持) and it will cost between three and five million yuan to repair it. At the moment, visitors are not allowed to visit the caves.
Zhoukoudian is on the World Cultural Heritage List, organized by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The list is constantly checked. Any site which is seriously damaged or which is not properly protected is an endangered heritage, and UNESCO is very quick to do something about situations like this. They have recommended that the site be closed and repaired. If nothing is done to repair it, it could be removed from the list.This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness about it.
Dr. Zhu Ming of the Academy said, “We have requested that the government get involved, but we also need assistance from ordinary people. They can help by contributing to the cost of repairing the caves. They are a precious part of our cultural heritage — it is of great importance that we do something. If not, it will be a catastrophe.”Section Ⅰ Warming Up and Reading 栏目导航Ⅰ.Scan the text and choose the best answer according to the text.

想必你们知道,正是在这儿我们找到了居住在世界这个部分最早人类的证据。
点拨:本句中的must用于对肯定或有把握的事情或情况表示推测,意思是“必定,准是”。常用于以下四种结构中:(1)must+do表示对现在情况的推测。
①—He entered the room just now.He must be here.
——他刚刚进屋,他一定在这里。
—I'm sorry he isn't here.He must have left already.
——抱歉,他不在这儿。他准是走了。

当你昨晚给我打电话的时候我一定正在睡觉。
can/could,may/might 的推测功能:
(1)can/could 通常用于疑问句和否定句中表示推测。
That can't be our class teacher.He has gone to Beijing.
那一定不是我们的班主任,他已经去北京了。
(2)may/might用于肯定句和否定句中表示推测。
(3)在肯定句中表示推测时must的语气比may/might强。
(4)在否定句中表示推测时can/could的语气比may/might强。
(5)情态动词can/could,must和may/might表示推测时,其反义疑问句不能用情态动词,必须去掉情态动词之后在句子本来意义的基础上进行反问。⑤He must have seen the film.可以理解为He has seen the film,所以反义疑问句用hasn't he?
⑥He must have seen the film yesterday.可以理解为He saw the film yesterday,所以反义疑问句用didn't he?单句语法填空。
(1)I have lost one of my gloves. I ___________________(drop) it somewhere in the library this afternoon.
(2)The light is still on in our teacher's office; he _________________(mark) our exam papers now.must have droppedmust be marking Point ? as引导的非限制性定语从句Yes,indeed,as the botanical analyses have shown us,all the fields around here used to be part of a large shallow lake.(教材P39)
确实,正如植物学分析显示给我们的那样,附近所有的土地都曾是大型浅湖的一部分。
点拨:此处as引导的是非限制性定语从句,译作“正如……那样”。 as引导非限制性定语从句时,位置比较灵活,除了常置于句首外,还可以位于句中或句末。①As the proverb goes,“The enemy in disguise is just like the wolf in sheep's clothing.”
正如谚语所说的那样,伪装的敌人就像是披着羊皮的狼。(句首)
②Mike,as we expected,attended the meeting.
像我们所期望的那样,迈克参加了会议。(句中)
③He wasn't unconscious,as could be judged from his eyes.
他并未失去知觉,这从他的眼神可以判断出来。(句尾)
as 与which 引导非限制性定语从句的区别:
(1)相同点:
既可指代某一先行词,也可指代整个主句的内容,译作“这一点”,有时可互换。
④He is quite pleased, as/which can be seen from his face.
他非常高兴,从他的表情可以看出来。
(2)不同点:
1)位置不同:as引导的非限定性定语从句可以放在句首、句中,而which引导的非限定性定语从句不能放在句首。
2)意义不同:as引导的非限定性定语从句时,还可译为“正如……一样;就如……一样”,具有方式意味;而which不能;as引导的非限定性定语从句表示说话的依据、态度、解释或评论等,常用于as we all know(=as it is known to us all),as is said(reported,mentioned,etc.) above,as it is等。which引导的非限定性定语从句表示某事的状态或结果。
3)逻辑关系不同: 当主、从句在意义上构成因果关系时,常用which代替as。如:
⑤Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others, which, of course, made the others envy him.
海伦对自己最小的儿子比其他孩子都要好,这一点使其他孩子很嫉妒。单句改错。
(1)The number of smokers, it is reported, has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.
(2)Which we have stressed many times, “serve the people” is our first policy.asAsUnit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section 1 Warming Up and Reading
Ⅰ.单句语法填空
1.It is a great pleasure to be invited (invite) to speak here.
解析:考查动词不定式。It is a great pleasure to do sth.很高兴做某事,it是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语。
2.“You can't judge a book by its cover,” as the old saying goes.
解析:考查非限制性定语从句。句意:正如古训所说“人不可貌相,海水不可斗量”。as引导的非限制性定语从句,指代整个主句的内容,意为“正如”。
3.(2016·北京卷改编)—Excuse me,which movie are you wait-ing for?
—The new Star Wars.We have been waiting (wait) here for more than two hours.
解析:考查动词时态。句意:——打扰一下,请问你在等哪部电影?——刚上映的《星球大战》。我们在这里已等了两个多小时。根据语境,说话时还在等。故用现在完成进行时。
4.I had no alternative but to report (report) him to the police.
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:除了向警察举报他,我别无选择。have no alternative but to do sth.别无选择只好做……。

解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:认为经济继续好转是有道理的。It is reasonable to do sth.做某事是有道理的。
6.The expression on his face suggested that he was (be) very angry.
解析:考查谓语的时态。句意:他脸上的表情表明他很生气。suggest在本句中表示“暗示,表明”,后接宾语从句时,从句用陈述语气而不用虚拟语气。
7.It seemed that they used the sharpened (sharpen) stone tools to cut up animals and removed the skins.
解析:句意:他们似乎用磨尖的石器来切割野兽并剥皮。sharpened 过去分词作定语,表示被动完成的动作;cut up切碎。
8.(2016·江苏卷改编)Many young people,most of whom were well-educated,headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.
解析:考查定语从句。young people是先行词,most of whom其中大部分,表示整体中的一部分,引导定语从句。
9.(2016·天津卷改编)The teacher must have thought Johnson was worth it or she wouldn't have wasted time on him, I suppose.
解析:考查情态动词。句意:我猜想,老师肯定认为约翰是值得培养的,不然她不会在他身上浪费时间的。must have done表示对过去已发生的事情进行肯定的推测, 表示 “一定……”。

Ⅱ.单句改错

2.I told your friend how to get to the hotel, but perhaps I have driven her there.
解析:考查情态动词。句意:我告诉你朋友该怎么去旅馆, 但或许我应该开车送她去那。might have done(过去)可能做过;should have done本应该做(而事实上没做)。
3.The primitive people picked fruit when it was ripened.
解析:考查谓语动词的语态。ripen成熟,不及物动词,没有被动语态。
4.You don't know that our school used to be a part of a large pond.
解析:考查冠词。句意:你不知道我们学校曾经是一个大池塘的一部分。part of………的一部分。
5.Many fans hate it when their favorite stars wear clothes entirely of animal skins.
解析:考查非谓语动词。made entirely of animal skins过去分词短语作定语,表示make与clothes之间是被动关系。
6.(2016·北京卷改编)I live next door to a couple children often make a lot of noise.
解析:考查定语从句,句意:我住在一对夫妻的隔壁,他们的孩子总是弄出很大的响声。couple是先行词,在定语从句中充当定语,故用whose。
7.(2016·江苏卷改编)It is often the case anything is possible for those who hang on to hope.
解析:考查主语从句。句型It is often the case that…,……是常有的情况。It是形式主语,that引导主语从句。

解析:考查强调句型。强调副词here,用句型it is…that…。
9.Layers of ashes almost six meters thick suggest that the earliest people might the fire burning all winter.

10.Does the needle mean that they repaired things?
解析:考查非谓语动词。the sewing needle缝纫针,sewing是动名词作定语,表示用途;sewn过去分词,表示被缝制的,强调被动完成的动作。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life's highs and lows, according to British biologists.
Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or shyness of individuals, according to The Nature.Like people,some fish are very confident in the face of novelty(新奇事物) or conflict, while others are silent and fearful.
The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout, and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them.They arranged some fish to fight and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and defeats.Winning or losing a fight, or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab.
The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents,to ensure that they would win or lose their fights.These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with a novel food item;losing their fights caused them to be much more cautious.
Fish also learn by watching others.Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves.
“Predictably,shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence,but surprisingly,shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food,”Sneddon said,adding that this could be due to what she calls the “desperado effect”(亡命之徒效应).
The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities.The results echo the effects that life experience can have on human.

Love and friendship
They are both so much related to each other.And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的)friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? 5.______
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends.We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency.We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.6._____ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
7._____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted.But love transcends(超出)all this.During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends.A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.8.______ This is a vital difference.Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward.Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend.9._____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don't meet your friend for a few days.You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend.But in love, you will do all this and much more.Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.
A.What about love?
B.My answer is “Yes”.
C.Let us try and understand.
D.Friendship does not have that.
E.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
F.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
G.The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.
语篇导读
本文是说明文,讲述了友谊和爱情的区别。
5.C 解析:上句是提出关于友谊和爱情的问题,下文就说明它们的区别。故选C。我们试着去理解它们。
6.E 解析:下文谈到好朋友会自觉去彼此理解对方,所以此处提到不必向好朋友解释什么。故选E。
7.A 解析:下句提到爱情,所以此处是主题句,什么是爱情?故选A。
8.D 解析:下句提到它们有重大的差别;上文提到爱情有身体反应,深深迷恋对方。故空白处选D,友谊没有那样的反应。
9.F 解析:上下文谈到没有遇到朋友时你的反应。故此处也应该谈到这样的情景。故选F。

课件10张PPT。Meeting your ancestorsUnit 5 Section Ⅱ Learning about Language栏目导航考点 语法细解现在完成进行时
一、现在完成进行时的定义
现在完成进行时表示某动作从过去某个时间开始,一直延续到现在,并且还有可能持续下去。如:
We have been waiting for him for two hours.
我们等他等了两个小时。
二、现在完成进行时的结构
现在完成进行时由“have/has been + 现在分词”构成。三、现在完成进行时的应用
1.表示动作从过去某一时刻开始,一直持续到现在并有可能延续下去,常与for,since引出的时间状语连用。
①I have been teaching English for almost twenty years.
我教英语将近有20年了。
2.表示动作刚刚结束。
②Where have you been? I have been waiting for you in the rain two hours.
你去哪了?我在雨中等了你两个小时。(动作刚结束)3.表示动作的重复(指断断续续,而非一直不停)。
③They have been discussing the matter several times this year.
他们今年已经数次讨论那件事了。(动作重复)
4.表示某种感彩。
④I have been telling you not to make trouble.
我一直劝你不要找麻烦。(表示一种情绪)
点拨:
(1)有些动词不能用于现在完成进行时,但可用于现在完成时:
状态动词be, have, exist;
情感动词like, love, hate, detest;感官动词see, hear, know, feel, sound;
短暂性动词finish, marry, get up, come, go等。
⑤They have gone to Shanghai.
他们已经去上海了。
⑥They have been to Shanghai.
他们曾去过上海。
⑦We have already finished the work.
我们已经完成了工作。(2)现在完成进行时常用的时间状语有:this month/week/year, these days, recently/lately, in the past few+时间段,since+时间点,for+时间段。如:
⑧They have been building the bridge for two months.
两个月来他们一直在修桥。
⑨They have been planting trees this month.
这个月来他们一直在植树。四、现在完成进行时与现在完成时的区别
1.现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在的影响或产生的结果,而现在完成进行时则更强调动作的延续性。
①We have been cleaning the classroom.
我们一直在打扫教室。
②We have cleaned the classroom.
我们已打扫了教室。
2.如果要明确表示现在的动作要进行下去,就得用现在完成进行时,而不能用现在完成时。③The rescue team has been working for two hours, but they still haven't found the missing boy.
救援队一直工作了两个小时,但仍然没有找到那个失踪的男孩儿。
现在完成进行时与现在完成时相比,更强调动作从过去到现在一直持续或者反复进行。
3.表示状态、感觉和心理状态的静态动词一般不会用于现在完成进行时。如果要表示状态延续到现在,可用现在完成时。
④I have known him since 1994.
我从1994年就认识他了。
不能说:I have been knowing him since 1994.4.有些延续性动词(如keep, learn, live, stay, study, work等),用于现在完成时或现在完成进行时的区别不大。如:
⑤I have lived here for many years.
=I have been living here for many years.
我在这儿住了多年了。Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section 2 Learning about Language

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2016·辽宁师大附中高二期中)Animals have always been used to represent certain human characteristics.Countries also use animals as symbols.From eagles to lions, many countries use an animal to show its national spirit and character.
The image of an eagle is on the US President's flag, and on the one-dollar bill.The bald eagle is a large, powerful, brown bird with a white head and tail.The term “bald” does not mean that this bird lacks feathers.Instead,it comes from the old word “piebald”,that means,“marked with white”.
The US declared that the eagle was its national bird in 1782.It was chosen because of “its long life, great strength, and noble looks”.
A few eagles have even become American heroes.An eagle named “Old Abe”,the mascot of a Wisconsin troop of soldiers during the Civil War, traveled 14,000 miles with its men.He was often shot at by the enemy, but survived 42 battles.
But,one of the Founding Fathers,Benjamin Franklin didn't agree with the choice.“The bald eagle is a bird of bad moral character,like those among men who live by robbing,he is generally poor, and often very messy,” he argued.Franklin wanted the turkey as the country's national bird.
If Americans chose their national symbol deliberately,the symbol of England arose out of history.
King HerryⅠ(1068~1135) was a brave warrior but also wise.His appreciation for the rule of law earned him the nickname the Lion of Justice.He was the first English King to use a lion as a royal symbol,which is popularly known as the “king of the jungle”.By the year RichardⅠ, known as “The Lionheart” for his bravery,came to the throne in 1189,the famous Three Lions badge had been formed.Now it can be seen on the shirts of England's sports teams.
Although people might not think of lions when they think of England,everyone knows about the Australian kangaroo.Legend has it that the kangaroo gets its name from an early meeting between local aborigines and white settlers.When asked by the Europeans what these strange looking animals were,a native replied “kangaroo”, meaning “I don't understand you.”
The kangaroo is an individualistic animal.Although it does gather in groups, the kangaroo is not a herd animal.If a group is attacked,individuals run off in different directions.Australians think the kangaroo represents positive values, such as individual responsibility and pride.

要是能像去年那样该有多好啊!
点拨:本句是if only引导的一个虚拟语气句子。if only后接一般过去时的句子,表示现在没有实现的愿望;if only后接过去完成时的句子,表示过去没有实现的愿望;if only后接过去将来时的句子表示将来不太可能实现的愿望。语气上常译为“要是……就好了”。①Life would be easier,if only her husband would swear off gambling.

要是我知道你需要什么就好了。(对现在情况的虚拟)

她突然坐了下来,结果被爱吵闹的妹妹露娜一把抱了起来。
点拨:句中only to do 是不定式作结果状语,意为“不料,结果却”,表示出乎意料或令人失望的结果。①I hurried to the post office only to find it closed.
我匆匆地去邮局,却发现它已经关门了。
②They reached the company out of breath only to be told they were fired.
他们上气不接下气地赶到公司,不料却被告知他们被开除了。
不定式和现在分词作“结果”状语的区别
(1)不定式作结果状语时,表示其动作发生的结果在谓语动词之后,往往表示未曾预料到的或令人不快的结果,不定式前常加only;另外,还用于too…to,enough…to,never…to,so/such…as to等固定结构中。
③He hurried to the station, only to find that the train had left.
他匆忙地赶到车站,结果发现火车已经开走了。
④She wanted to do a good deed, only to be scolded by her teacher.

(2)现在分词作结果状语时,表示伴随谓语动词的发生而产生的自然结果(同时发生),有时在前面加上thus/so/thereby/therefore,谓语动词与现在分词的动作是因果关系。
⑤Agriculture has developed rapidly, thus providing light industry with ample raw materials.

(2)At the end of the festival, the branches are thrown into the river, thus _______(take) bad luck away.
解析:句意:在庆典结束后,人们把树枝丢到河里让它们随波流走,这样会把厄运一起带走。现在分词作状语,表示自然的结果。 to be turnedtakingUnit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section 3 Using Language

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2016·天津卷)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.
We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue.In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.
Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序)order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule works.
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again.In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.
One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.
An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed.Success, then, means never feeling tired.

(2016·湖南衡阳高二联考)If you feel depressed,it's best to do something about it—depression doesn't just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counselor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise.Take a 15?to?30?minute walk every day—or dance,jog, or bike if you prefer.People who are depressed may not feel much like being active.5.______ Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.
Cherish yourself with good nutrition.Depression can affect appetite.One person may not feel like eating at all,but another might overeat.If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food.6.______ So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals(even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).
Identify troubles.7.______ When you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend.Talking is a way to release the feelings and to receive some understanding.If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.
8.______ Depression affects a person's thoughts,making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless.If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life.Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more.Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings.Most of all, don't forget to be patient with yourself.9.______
A.Look on the bright side.
B.Take action to solve problems.
C.But make yourself do it anyway.
D.Depression takes time to heal.
E.Proper nutrition can influence a person's mood and energy.
F.With depression, a person's creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.
G.Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
On one of her trips to New York several years ago,Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner.They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.
“Hey, aren't you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I'm from Mississippi too.”
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party.When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.
“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said.“I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking.”
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine.By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside.Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab.Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).
“My friends said ‘Now we believe your stories,'” Welty added.“And I said: ‘Now you know.These are the people that make me write them.'”
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.
“I don't make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.“I don't have to.”
Beauticians,bartenders,piano players and people with purple hats,Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends,from walks through the streets of her native Jackson,Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out.Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.
语篇导读
本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了美国著名女作家Eudora Welty在纽约的一次经历,并以此作为背景说明她的创作源于生活。

A.Two strangers joined her.
B.Her childhood friends came in.
C.A heavy rain ruined the dinner.
D.Some people held a party there.
解析:A 细节理解题。第三段中的“the woman”指的是第二段中的那个陌生人,根据第三段中的“When her dinner partner showed up,she also pulled up a chair”可知,陌生女子的晚餐伙伴也加入了她们的行列中,故有两个陌生人加入到了Welty和朋友的晚餐中。
22.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty's _____.
A.readers
B.parties
C.friends
D.stories
解析:D 代词指代题。画线词所在句“These are the people that make me write them”的主语These指的就是像那两位陌生人那样的人,换言之,这些新朋友就成了Welty笔下的写作素材,这些人就是让她写小说的人,故them指的是“小说”。
23.What can we learn about the characters in Welty's fiction?
A.They live in big cities.
B.They are mostly women.
C.They come from real life.
D.They are pleasure seekers.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据最后两段的内容可知,Welty小说中的人物源于真实生活。
A California man who was feeling sick almost died recently from a shocking cause.
26-year-old Luis Ortiz went to a hospital because of a headache and nausea(恶心).When doctors examined him, they were shocked to find a tapeworm larva(绦虫幼虫) in his brain.The story gets stranger.The larva was still alive.
The creature had caused a cyst(囊肿) inside his head.The cyst was restricting the flow of liquids to different areas of his brain.The situation was so serious that doctors said they had to perform an emergency operation to remove the larva.
A doctor who operated on Ortiz told him he had only 30 minutes to live.When the doctor pulled the worm out of his head, it was still moving.
Luis Ortiz was a student at California State University in Sacramento.He began experiencing headaches in late August.But Ortiz said he did not think the headaches were serious.
In September, he visited a friend and his parents in another city.That is when the pain got worse.His mother saw Ortiz throwing up and took him to a hospital emergency room.
The doctors saved Ortiz's life.However,the surgery also affected him.Ortiz had to drop out of school and move back home.For now, he is not permitted to work or drive a vehicle.
The U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the U.S.has about 1,000 reported cases of tapeworms each year.The CDC adds that tapeworms are more common in developing countries with poor public health systems.
The best way to avoid a tapeworm infection (感染)is to wash fruits and vegetables.Also, make sure meat is cooked thoroughly.The CDC suggests cooking all meat to an internal temperature of at least 63 degrees Celsius.

Reuel Tolkien(1892~1973), the British linguist, writer.He created a fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings”, the well-known trilogy(三部曲).
Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa.When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England.Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old,and participated in the First World War.During the war,Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of World War I.It was the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first.
After the war, Tolkien became a linguist.He was an editor of the “New English Dictionary” of 1918~1920.However, he was more researching to Anglo-Saxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the Nordic spread all over the folklore and mythology.
In 1937,Tolkien completed his first work “The Hobbit.” Although this was a fairy tale,it was also suitable for adults to read.Because of good sales,publishers (Allen & Unwin) convinced Tolkien to write its sequel.This encouraged Tolkien to complete his most famous works the epic(史诗) trilogy “The Lord of the Rings.” The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.
At the beginning, “The Lord of the Rings” was similar works for children, but after that writing style quickly became serious and dark.“The Lord of the Rings” was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century,in terms of sales and readers' evaluation.Tolkien's influence is important,for the success of “Lord of the Rings” makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre(体裁)develop rapidly.

We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works.When we do study our language,though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However,it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.
First,the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It can also be used to discuss a neighbor's dog.No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”. This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So,when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.
The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example,the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money”, but it can also mean “the side of a river”. So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear.It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept.However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains,others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”.
The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words are not very particular,but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning.This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.
语篇导读
本文讲述了语境对语言的理解起着很大作用。
32.The passage is mainly about_____.
A.the best time and place to talk to others
B.how the speaking situation helps language work
C.what to say in difficult situations
D.how our language works
解析:B 主旨大意题。本文讲述了语境对语言的理解起着很大作用。故选B。
33.According to the passage, we can safely say that_____.
A.a speaking situation does not affect the meaning of words
B.speaking is not very natural for most people
C.a speaking situation is not important
D.people often do not consider how talking works
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a natural,everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works”可知,选D。
34.By using the example of the word “dog”, the writer wants to show that_____.
A.a word may need to be explained in a conversation
B.a word may have different meanings
C.the speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a word
D.the meaning of words is not particular
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句和下文的“For example”可知,下文正是用dog一词举例来论证第二段的第一句话。故选C。
35.According to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to_____.
A.the time and the place where the conversation happens
B.the occupation of the person who uses the word
C.earlier or later parts of the conversation
D.a reliable dictionary
解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段所讲,作者用“bank”一词举例说明对话中这个词之前或之后的部分决定了这个词的含义。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Since the day of its birth,the United Nations has been the subject of much debate. 36 Others think that it is too weak.We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N.and its history.
The U.N.was started for two reasons.First,when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war.They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world's problems. 37
The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 38 National borders were beginning to lose their meaning.Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future.Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.
Franklin D.Roosevelt,U.S.President at the time,believed that the Allies (同盟国) should plan for peace before the war ended.On December 1,1943,Roosevelt,Britain's Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. 39
During the next year and a half,the idea of such an organization was debated around the world.Then came the big day.On April 11,1945,the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco.The goal of the meeting was to write the U.N.Charter (宪章).All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter. 40 Every nation present voted for the Charter.No one voted against it.
A.After a long debate,a final Charter was agreed upon.
B.The U.N.Charter is a beautiful piece of writing.
C.They asked all countries,large and small,to join the organization.
D.Even the smallest country on earth can have its voice heard.
E.They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.
F.These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.
G.Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.
语篇导读
本文主要介绍了联合国建立的过程。
36.G 解析:空处与下句“Others think that it is too weak”形成对比,所以选G项。
37.E 解析:根据上文的“First,when the idea was born,people all over the world were tired of war”可知,当时人们厌倦了战争,渴望和平,希望建立一个国际组织来维护世界和平,所以选E项。
F 解析:根据空前的“new bombs and airplanes”和下文的“National borders were beginning to lose their meaning”可知,现代科学研制出了新型炸弹和飞机,这些武器让一个国家的自卫变得不可能,国家边界变得没有意义,所以选F项。
C 解析:根据空前一句“On December 1,1943,Roosevelt,Britain's Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace”可知,三国首脑呼吁全世界所有国家加入这个组织以维护世界和平,所以选C项。
A 解析:由下文的“Every nation present voted for the Charter.No one voted against it”可知,《联合国宪章》在51个成员国中最终全票通过,所以选A项。

I've learned a lesson through the 53 of losing my grandfather.Losing him is more of 54 than it is extreme sadness.Yes, I have lost my best friend and hero, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to hide in the corner and 55 the“what ifs”and“if onlys”.I 56 to let myself do so.Just like him, he wasn't going down without a fight, and neither am I.I have to keep fighting although the situation becomes 57 .He has suffered the pain,and I have suffered the 58 .Cancer has won yet again, but that doesn't matter.He will always hold the title that he held on for two long, good years.I will not 59 my intellingence and sit on the couch for the rest of my life.He told me to do something, be someone.My only wish is for him to 60 see me make it.

The best way to deal with sports injuries is to keep them from happening in the first place. Knowing the rules of the game you're playing and using the right equipment (equip) can go a long way toward preventing injuries.If you think you've been injured,pull yourself (you) out of the game or stop doing (do) your activity or workout.Let a coach or parent know what happened in case you need to see a doctor.Serious head and neck injuries happen most often in athletes who/that play contact sports like football.Keep the injured person still with his or her head held (hold) straight while someone calls for emergency medical (medicine) help.If the person lies/is lying (lie) on the ground, do not try to move him or her.
Your first question after a sports injury will probably (probable) be “When can I play again?”. This depends on the injury and what your doctor tells you.Even if you can't return to your sport right away, a doctor might have suggestions and advice about/on what you can do to stay fit.Always check with your doctor before trying any activity following an injury.
