A great wonder of the natural world
When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining.? I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of? the car, went through? a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.
After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside? the path.“Am I going the right way？”I asked. He knew where I was going.“Yes，” he replied?，“you'll get there in fiveminutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped.? I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of
it.
Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose? behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below? me, the ground fell away? and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon.
I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!
I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world？”I certainly know the answer. What do you think？1010 Learning to learn
Some adjectives tell you facts, such as wide, deep, high and tall; some adjectives tell you the opinion of the author, like wonderful, huge and great. Learn to use them to talk about facts and give your opinion.nearly one mileabout fifteen miles，maybe moremore than 200 miles知识点1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining.我到那儿的时候是大清早，天正下着雨。主句是由and连接的并列句。主句中第一个it指时间，第二个it指天气；When I arrived为when引导的时间状语从句。知识点2get out of 从……出来/离开eg：He got out of the taxi.他下了出租车。考向表示“上小汽车”用get into，
“下小汽车”用get out of，
而“上火车、公共汽车、
飞机等”用get on，
反义词组为get off。知识点3go through穿过eg：My friends and I went through the forest.
Then we had a picnic there.我和我的朋
友们穿过森林，然后在那儿野餐。
辨析：across与through考向We must teach children how to go (横穿)
the road safely. (兰州)典例 across
【点拨】go across意为“横穿”，是固定短语。其中across为介词，意为“从……一边到另一边；横过”。
知识点4beside /b?'sa?d/prep.在……旁边eg：The girl is reading a book beside the
lake. 这个女孩正在湖边读书。【易错点】 beside与besides的区分，besides 意为
“除了……，还有……”，beside意为“在……的
旁边”。知识点5reply/r?'pla?/ v.回答考向一eg：Have you replied to his letter？
你给他回信了吗？reply还可作名词，意为“回答；答复”。
eg：I have received no reply.我还没得到答复。He seldom ________ (回复)to the e-mails his
friends send him.replies典例 考向二辨析reply与answer知识点6时间顺序法
由本句中的Finally可知短文以时间为线索，按时间顺序来展开。我们在写作时常用first，then，next，finally来表达事件的先后，使文章条理清楚。 rise /ra?z/ v.升起；(情感)增强7知识点eg：The sun rises in the east and sets in the
west. 太阳从东方升起，在西方落下。考向辨析rise与raiseLet’s set out now since the sun has r________．
(山东泰安)典例 isen
【点拨】本题用逻辑推理法。由前半句句意“咱们现在就出发吧”可推知后半句句意为“太阳已经升起”。rise“升起”，结合句意及has 可知此处是现在完成时，故用rise的过去分词risen。
8知识点below 可表示“位置、职位在……之下”，也可表示“数量、年龄、程度等在……以下”。
eg：The temperature today is 5 degrees below
zero. 今天的气温是零下5度。考向一below /b?'l??/ prep. 在……的下面辨析below与under
below指位置低于某物或在某物的下方，但不一定在某物的正下方，反义词是above；而under指在正下方，反义词是over。考向二魔法记忆(一)图示巧记
(二)口诀巧记
above表示在上方，below恰好在 下方；若表
正上用over，under表示正下方。The weather report says it will become colder and
the temperature will fall ________ zero.
A．under B．below
C．above D．on典例
【点拨】用题眼法。题眼为colder。此处below用来指温度在多少度以下，below zero“零度以下”。
B9知识点 fall over 倒下；倒塌拓展fall away 突然向下倾斜eg：Beyond the hill，the land falls away
towards the river.
山那边地面向河边倾斜而下。
eg：It remained a secret.这仍然是个秘密。 10知识点remain /r?'me?n/v.逗留,留下;仍然是；剩下考向一remain用作连系动词，指某人或某事物仍保持某种状态，后面可接名词、形容词、介词短语等作表语。
eg：remain modest 保持谦虚用作不及物动词，意为“遗留”，不能用
于进行时态。
eg：After the fire，very little of his house
remained. 火灾之后，他的房子所剩无几。 考向二典例 quiet用所给词的适当形式填空。
Don't make noise. You should remain________(quietly)．
【点拨】 remain在此用作连系动词，后面接形容词作表语。
