“My family has been watching the ‘Super Girl’ singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ means, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”,in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’ compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
1. By writing the article, the writer tries to ________.
A. explain PK
B. suggest common Internet language
C. laugh at the Beijing father
D. draw our attention to Internet language
2. What does the writer think about the term “PK”?
A. Fathers can’t possibly know it.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players may know it.
D. “Super Girl” shouldn’t have used it.
3. The underlined word “jargons” means ________in Chinese.
A. 行话 B. 粗口 C. 歌词 D. 趋势
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Puzzled Father
B. Do You Speak Internet Language?
C. Keep Away from Internet Language
D. Kong Long or Qing Wa?
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?
Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it, and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also feel you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.
C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.
4. Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Good luck.
C. Happiness. D. Life.

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(论坛) asking what “PK” means.
“My family has been watching the ‘Super Girl’ singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ means, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”,in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students’ compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
1. By writing the article, the writer tries to ________.
A. explain PK
B. suggest common Internet language
C. laugh at the Beijing father
D. draw our attention to Internet language
2. What does the writer think about the term “PK”?
A. Fathers can’t possibly know it.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players may know it.
D. “Super Girl” shouldn’t have used it.
3. The underlined word “jargons” means ________in Chinese.
A. 行话 B. 粗口 C. 歌词 D. 趋势
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Puzzled Father
B. Do You Speak Internet Language?
C. Keep Away from Internet Language
D. Kong Long or Qing Wa?
答案:1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why?
Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it, and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also feel you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.
C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.
4. Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Good luck.
C. Happiness. D. Life.
答案:1. B 2. D 3. B 4. C

__________________________________________________________________________________
学会倒装句的用法;
理解完全倒装和部分倒装的区别;
能够使用倒装句的知识点作对相关题目,灵活使用。
倒装句
英语最基本的语序是主语在前,谓语动词在后。但有时由于句子结构的需要或表示强调,就要采用倒装形式。将谓语动词完全移到主语之前称为完全倒装,只将助动词或情态动词放到主语之前称为部分倒装。强调性倒装和以so, neither, nor开头的句子是高考例题的热点。
一、倒装句的意义
1. 适应一定的语法结构的需要,主要是指疑问句句型结构的需要。
e.g. May I come in?
Was the People's Liberation Army founded in 1927?
2. 为了强调某一部分,而把这部分放到句首,构成倒装。
e.g. Never have I been late for school this term.
So early did he come to school that no other students came.
二、倒装的用法
1. 在“there be”结构里,there是引导词,主语在be后。
在“there + be”结构中的谓语动词有时不用be , 而用表示类似“存在”观念的其他不及物动词。如:live, stand, come, lie, flow, enter, rise 和appear等。
e.g. There is a box on the table.
There came shouts for help from the river.
There lies a large wheat field in front of the house.
Many years ago there lived an old man in the wooden house.
2. 在疑问句中。
e.g. Is she singing in the classroom?
What does your mother do?
3. 在here, there等副词开头的某些句子里(要用一般现在时态)。如果主语是人称代词,主语和主要动词的词序不变。(完全倒装)
e.g. There goes the bell.
Here is an apple for you.
There she comes.
Ex:There ________. And here ________.
A. goes the phone; she comes B. is the phone going; is she C. does the phone go; does she come D. the phone goes; come she
4. 重复倒装句型,用在以so, nor, neither开头,表示谓语所述的情况也适用于另一个人或一事物的肯定或否定句中。so用于肯定句,表示“也一样”“也这样”;nor, neither用于否定句,表示“同样也不,也不这样”。
e.g. I am watching TV. So is she.
My parents didn't watch TV last night. Neither (Nor) did I.
She is busy doing her homework. So is her brother.
You passed the exam. So did I.
He doesn’t like shopping. Neither do i.
He can’t speak any foreign language. Nor can his father.
表示两人的同样一个情况时,只能表示一件事,即上、下句所使用的动词、时态要一致。
否则要用so it is with…
His uncle is a worker and has been working in the factory for more than ten years. So it is with his aunt.
Ex:1) I don't know how to swim, ____.
A. and my sister doesn't neither B. nor my sister can
C. nor does my sister D. and my sister does either
2) She's passed the test. ____.
A. So am I B. So have I C. So I have D. Also I have
5. 直接引语的全部或一部分放在句首时,主句中的主谓也常直接倒装。(完全倒装)
e.g. "Very well." said the French student.
"Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please." said he.
6. 在以hardly(scarcely), never, not, not only, little, few,seldom, no sooner…(than), not until, no where等否定或半否定意义的副词、连词放在句首时要用倒装句,采用部分倒装。如不放在句首就不要倒装。
e.g. Little did he say at the meeting.
Never shall I forget the day when I joined the Army.
Hardly(Scarcely) had he reached the station when the train started.
Not once did we visit the city of our own.
Seldom in all my life have I met such a determined person.
Not only was there no electricity, but also no water.
Not until he shouted at the top of his voice did she turn her head.
比较:I shall never forget the day when I joined the Army.
Ex:1) Hardly ________ the airport when the plane took off.
A. I had arrived at B. had I arrived C. had I reached D. I had got to
2) —Have you ever seen anything like that before? —No, ________ anything like that before.
A. I never have seen B. never I have seen C. never have I seen D. I have seen
7. 用于以only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句的句子中。
e.g. Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to work.
Only in this way can we learn English well.
注意:如果only后的词组不是状语,不需倒装。
e.g. Only Wang Lili knows this.
Only a few young men went to the theatre. (修饰主语时则不用倒装)
Ex:
1)Only in this way ___ make progress in your English.
A. you B. can you C. you be able to D. will you able to
2) Only when the meeting was over___ go back to meet his friend.
A. he could B. he was able to C. was he able to D. was able to he
3)Only after liberation___ to be treated as human beings.
A. did they begin B. they had begun C. they did begin D. had they begun
8. 为了表达生动,有时把表地点、方位的副词,如 up, down, out, away, in等放在句首,同时把谓语动词放在主语之前。若主语为人称代词,主语和谓语动词的位置不变,只将副词放在句首。(完全倒装)
e.g. Away hurried the boy.
Out rushed the girl.
Away she went with tears in her eyes.
Ex:Out ____ , with a stick in his hand.
A. did he rush B. rushed he C. he rushed D. he did rush
表示地点的介词短语 (如on the wall, under the tree, in front of the house, in the middle of the room等)放在句首时,要全部倒装。如:
On the top of the hill stands a pine tree.
In front of the classroom is a playground.
Ex:Under a big tree ________, half asleep.
A. did sat a fat man B. a fat man sat C. did a fat man sat D. sat a fat man
9. 在虚拟结构中,条件从句的谓语含有were, had 和should这三个词是,可省去if,将这些词移至主语之前。
e.g. Had I time (= If I had time), I would go and help you.
Were I you (= If I were you),I would go abroad.
Should he come (=If he should come), tell him to ring me up.
10. as引导让步状语从句时要倒装(形容词/ 副词/ 名词/ 动词 + as + 主语 + 谓语)。
e.g. Proud as they are, they are afraid to see me.
Child as he is, he seems to know everything.(child前不加冠词)
Hard as he worded, he made little progress.
Ex:________, he's honest.
A. As he is poor B. Poor is he C. Poor as he is D. Poor as is he
_____, he knows a lot of things.
A. A child as he is B. Child as he is C. A child as is he D. Child as is he
11. 用于某些表示祝愿的句子里。
e.g. May you succeed!
Long live the People's Republic of China!
12. So + 形容词、副词及such 置于句首时要倒装。
So happy did he feel.
Such was me.
13.固定搭配 hardly…when; scarcely…when…; no sooner…than… 可以用正常语序 had hardly done when… did 或用倒装句式Hardly had + 主语+ done when… did 句式。hardly所在的句子用过去完成时。
The bell hardly had rung when the class began.= Hardly had the bell rung when the class began.
No sooner had he arrived in Beijing than he began to work.
Ex:Hardly ____down ___he stepped in.
A. had I sat …than B. I had sat …when C. had I sat …then D. had I sat…when
14. 在以often, well, many a time, now and again 等方式或频度副词(短语)开头的句子中,要用部分倒装结构。如:
Many a time has John given me good advice.
Often have we made that test.
Ex:Many a time ________ swimming alone.
A. the boy went B. went the boy C. did the boy go D. did go the boy
15. so+ 形容词/副词that 的结构状语从句可以用正常语序表示,也可以把so+形容词/副词放于句首构成倒装。句型如下: so +形容词/副词+be/助动词/情态动词that +从句。
Light travels so fast that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed.
= So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed.
So easy was the work that they finished it in a few days.
16. "分词(代词) + be + 主语"结构。如:

三、阅读理解
Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere,both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785,and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper,which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago.
1. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself ______.
A. a serious newspaper B. a foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper
2. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.
A. 19 B. 85 C. 226 D. 229
3. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “________”.

A letter to Edward, a columnist(报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr. Expert,
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house,and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I am old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
Edward

3. According to Mr. Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.

Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods, including water cabbage and other leaf vegetables, contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean(瘦的)meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is controlled.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder(圆筒), then put into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller (滚筒) as a thin film which is then broken up into small flakes (薄片). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients (成分) are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. a fat fish contains as much water as a lean one
B. the fattier a fish is, the more water it may contain
C. a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one
D. the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat
2. The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by ________.
A. particular B. scientific C. usual D. special
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true about drying food?
A. The removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.
B. The open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.
C. In the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.
D. The process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.
4. The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. the reason why housewives like dried food
B. the general convenience of dried food
C. the methods of storing food
D. the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food

Unit4 Making the news-语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
学会倒装句的用法;
理解完全倒装和部分倒装的区别;
能够使用倒装句的知识点作对相关题目,灵活使用。
倒装句
英语最基本的语序是主语在前,谓语动词在后。但有时由于句子结构的需要或表示强调,就要采用倒装形式。将谓语动词完全移到主语之前称为完全倒装,只将助动词或情态动词放到主语之前称为部分倒装。强调性倒装和以so, neither, nor开头的句子是高考例题的热点。
一、倒装句的意义
1. 适应一定的语法结构的需要,主要是指疑问句句型结构的需要。
e.g. May I come in?
Was the People's Liberation Army founded in 1927?
2. 为了强调某一部分,而把这部分放到句首,构成倒装。
e.g. Never have I been late for school this term.
So early did he come to school that no other students came.
二、倒装的用法
1. 在“there be”结构里,there是引导词,主语在be后。
在“there + be”结构中的谓语动词有时不用be , 而用表示类似“存在”观念的其他不及物动词。如:live, stand, come, lie, flow, enter, rise 和appear等。
e.g. There is a box on the table.
There came shouts for help from the river.
There lies a large wheat field in front of the house.
Many years ago there lived an old man in the wooden house.
2. 在疑问句中。
e.g. Is she singing in the classroom?
What does your mother do?
3. 在here, there等副词开头的某些句子里(要用一般现在时态)。如果主语是人称代词,主语和主要动词的词序不变。(完全倒装)
e.g. There goes the bell.
Here is an apple for you.
There she comes.
Ex:There ________. And here ________.
A. goes the phone; she comes B. is the phone going; is she C. does the phone go; does she come D. the phone goes; come she
4. 重复倒装句型,用在以so, nor, neither开头,表示谓语所述的情况也适用于另一个人或一事物的肯定或否定句中。so用于肯定句,表示“也一样”“也这样”;nor, neither用于否定句,表示“同样也不,也不这样”。
e.g. I am watching TV. So is she.
My parents didn't watch TV last night. Neither (Nor) did I.
She is busy doing her homework. So is her brother.
You passed the exam. So did I.
He doesn’t like shopping. Neither do i.
He can’t speak any foreign language. Nor can his father.
表示两人的同样一个情况时,只能表示一件事,即上、下句所使用的动词、时态要一致。
否则要用so it is with…
His uncle is a worker and has been working in the factory for more than ten years. So it is with his aunt.
Ex:1) I don't know how to swim, ____.
A. and my sister doesn't neither B. nor my sister can
C. nor does my sister D. and my sister does either
2) She's passed the test. ____.
A. So am I B. So have I C. So I have D. Also I have
5. 直接引语的全部或一部分放在句首时,主句中的主谓也常直接倒装。(完全倒装)
e.g. "Very well." said the French student.
"Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please." said he.
6. 在以hardly(scarcely), never, not, not only, little, few,seldom, no sooner…(than), not until, no where等否定或半否定意义的副词、连词放在句首时要用倒装句,采用部分倒装。如不放在句首就不要倒装。
e.g. Little did he say at the meeting.
Never shall I forget the day when I joined the Army.
Hardly(Scarcely) had he reached the station when the train started.
Not once did we visit the city of our own.
Seldom in all my life have I met such a determined person.
Not only was there no electricity, but also no water.
Not until he shouted at the top of his voice did she turn her head.
比较:I shall never forget the day when I joined the Army.
Ex:1) Hardly ________ the airport when the plane took off.
A. I had arrived at B. had I arrived C. had I reached D. I had got to
2) —Have you ever seen anything like that before? —No, ________ anything like that before.
A. I never have seen B. never I have seen C. never have I seen D. I have seen
7. 用于以only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句的句子中。
e.g. Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to work.
Only in this way can we learn English well.
注意:如果only后的词组不是状语,不需倒装。
e.g. Only Wang Lili knows this.
Only a few young men went to the theatre. (修饰主语时则不用倒装)
Ex:
1)Only in this way ___ make progress in your English.
A. you B. can you C. you be able to D. will you able to
2) Only when the meeting was over___ go back to meet his friend.
A. he could B. he was able to C. was he able to D. was able to he
3)Only after liberation___ to be treated as human beings.
A. did they begin B. they had begun C. they did begin D. had they begun
8. 为了表达生动,有时把表地点、方位的副词,如 up, down, out, away, in等放在句首,同时把谓语动词放在主语之前。若主语为人称代词,主语和谓语动词的位置不变,只将副词放在句首。(完全倒装)
e.g. Away hurried the boy.
Out rushed the girl.
Away she went with tears in her eyes.
Ex:Out ____ , with a stick in his hand.
A. did he rush B. rushed he C. he rushed D. he did rush
表示地点的介词短语 (如on the wall, under the tree, in front of the house, in the middle of the room等)放在句首时,要全部倒装。如:
On the top of the hill stands a pine tree.
In front of the classroom is a playground.
Ex:Under a big tree ________, half asleep.
A. did sat a fat man B. a fat man sat C. did a fat man sat D. sat a fat man
9. 在虚拟结构中,条件从句的谓语含有were, had 和should这三个词是,可省去if,将这些词移至主语之前。
e.g. Had I time (= If I had time), I would go and help you.
Were I you (= If I were you),I would go abroad.
Should he come (=If he should come), tell him to ring me up.
10. as引导让步状语从句时要倒装(形容词/ 副词/ 名词/ 动词 + as + 主语 + 谓语)。
e.g. Proud as they are, they are afraid to see me.
Child as he is, he seems to know everything.(child前不加冠词)
Hard as he worded, he made little progress.
Ex:________, he's honest.
A. As he is poor B. Poor is he C. Poor as he is D. Poor as is he
_____, he knows a lot of things.
A. A child as he is B. Child as he is C. A child as is he D. Child as is he
11. 用于某些表示祝愿的句子里。
e.g. May you succeed!
Long live the People's Republic of China!
12. So + 形容词、副词及such 置于句首时要倒装。
So happy did he feel.
Such was me.
13.固定搭配 hardly…when; scarcely…when…; no sooner…than… 可以用正常语序 had hardly done when… did 或用倒装句式Hardly had + 主语+ done when… did 句式。hardly所在的句子用过去完成时。
The bell hardly had rung when the class began.= Hardly had the bell rung when the class began.
No sooner had he arrived in Beijing than he began to work.
Ex:Hardly ____down ___he stepped in.
A. had I sat …than B. I had sat …when C. had I sat …then D. had I sat…when
14. 在以often, well, many a time, now and again 等方式或频度副词(短语)开头的句子中,要用部分倒装结构。如:
Many a time has John given me good advice.
Often have we made that test.
Ex:Many a time ________ swimming alone.
A. the boy went B. went the boy C. did the boy go D. did go the boy
15. so+ 形容词/副词that 的结构状语从句可以用正常语序表示,也可以把so+形容词/副词放于句首构成倒装。句型如下: so +形容词/副词+be/助动词/情态动词that +从句。
Light travels so fast that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed.
= So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine its speed.
So easy was the work that they finished it in a few days.
16. "分词(代词) + be + 主语"结构。如:
Walking at the head of the line was our teacher.
Such was the story he told me.

三、阅读理解
Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere,both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785,and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper,which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago.
1. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself ______.
A. a serious newspaper B. a foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper
2. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for ________ years.
A. 19 B. 85 C. 226 D. 229
3. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “________”.
A. improve
B. compete with each other
C. are different
D. keep in touch with each other
4. The writer tells us ________ in this passage.
A. all kinds of newspapers in Britain
B. all kinds of news in English papers
C. how The Times is liked by people
D. why The Times is well known
答案:1. D 2. C 3. C 4. D
A letter to Edward, a columnist(报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr. Expert,
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house,and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine—so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I am old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
Edward

答案:1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C
Centuries ago, man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to store it, and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.
All foods, including water cabbage and other leaf vegetables, contain as much as 93% water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%, lean(瘦的)meat 75% and fish, anything from 80% to 60%, depending on how fatty it is. If this water is removed, the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is controlled.
Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically. The conventional method of such dehydration (脱水) is to put food in chambers (室) through which hot air is blown at temperature of about 110℃ at entry to about 43℃ at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables, minced meat and fish.
Liquids such as milk, coffee, tea, soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder(圆筒), then put into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes. In the first process, the dried material comes off the roller (滚筒) as a thin film which is then broken up into small flakes (薄片). In the second process it falls to the bottom of the chamber as small powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required, as in soup, the ingredients (成分) are dried separately and then mixed.
Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions. For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers, explorers and soldiers in battle, who have little storage space. They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. a fat fish contains as much water as a lean one
B. the fattier a fish is, the more water it may contain
C. a fatty fish holds less water than a lean one
D. the water content of fish has nothing to do with the content of their fat
2. The underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 3 can most probably be replaced by ________.
A. particular B. scientific C. usual D. special
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true about drying food?
A. The removal of water in food helps prevent it from going rotten.
B. The open-air method of drying food has been known for hundreds of years.
C. In the course of dehydration, the temperature of hot current coming from entry to exit is gradually going up.
D. The process of drying liquids is much more complex than that of drying solid food.
4. The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. the reason why housewives like dried food
B. the general convenience of dried food
C. the methods of storing food
D. the advantages of dried, canned and frozen food
答案:1. B 2. C 3. C 4. B

Last Friday, I had an interview with Li Yang, the founder of the Crazy English about how we could learn English well. It is known that quite a few students have so much trouble in learning English that they gradually may lose the confidence in the language and almost give it up. According to Mr Li, we students should make the most of every morning, noon and evening, reading English as aloud as possible. He also suggested that we should spend over 20 minutes reading English words, texts, or reciting famous passages and poems, and even singing English songs. In this interview, I realize that it is really important to do more reading repeatedly.
