我的饮食习惯相当好。Language points adj. 漂亮的， 可爱的， 精致的； (尤指女子)妩媚的；动人的You look so pretty in that dress!
你穿那件连衣裙真漂亮！?on the coast 在海岸线上on在此处意为“在靠近，接近”。on还有多种含义：—When was David born?
—He was born________June 12，2009.
A．at B．in C．on D．forC【解析】表示在具体的某一天用介词on。in fact 事实上，实际上?eg：No one believed it, but in fact, Mary did pass her exam.
没有人相信这件事，但实际上玛丽确实考试及格了。—Is the film interesting?
—I thought it would be. But________，
it's very boring.
A. in all B. in fact
C. in addition D. in future典例B【解析】词义辨析法。in all意思是“总共”； in fact意思是“事实上”；in addition意思是“此外”； in future意思是“将来”。答句句意：……但事实上，它很无聊。1980s 1980s 意为20世纪80年代年份后加-s表示年代，如1860s意为“19世纪60年代”；亦可加-'s，如1980's意为“20世纪80年代”。在阅读过程中要避免与确切的年份混淆。
eg：1990's 20世纪90年代
1990 1990年?What's the population of Shenzhen?深圳有多少人口？本句是“What's the population of+某地? ”的结构，和“How large is the population of +某地?”同义。population意为“(某一地区的)人口，全体居民”，是集体名词，看作一个整体，在句中作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。表达“某地有多少人口”通常有两种方法:
(1)The population of+某地+be动词+数词。如:
________________ Shanghai ______over 20 million.
上海的人口超过两千万。
(2)某地+has a population of+数词。________is the population of China?
A．What B．How many
C．How much D．How【解析】对population提问时，应使用疑问词what。故选A。A?It’s over ten million， I think.我认为它的人口超过一千万。million意为“百万”，当前面有具体数字时，要用单数形式，即“基数词+million”，此时表示确切的数字概念。About ________________ people visit the country every year.
每年约有五百万人来这个国家游览。five millionThe stars were there ____________years ago.
那些星星数百万年前就已经在那里了。 millions of意为“数以百万计的”，此时表示约数，million前不能出现具体数字。有此用法的还有hundred， thousand等。millions of比较one day和some day Some day people will be able to live under the sea.
将来有一天人们将能够生活在海底。
I will come back one day.
终有一天我会回来的。
One day I met an old friend in the park.
有一天我在公园里遇见一个老朋友。one day 有朝一日；某一天?Remember to visit the Diwang Tower.记得来参观帝王大厦。remember to do sth.意为“记得做某事”，表示这件事还没有做；remember doing sth.意为“记得做过某事”，表示曾经做过某事，现在(或说话时)还记得。比较remember和forget—Don't forget________your history and politics
books tomorrow morning. —Thanks，I won't.
A．bring B．to bring C．bringing
【解析】forget doing sth.忘记做过某事(已做)，forget to do sth.忘记去做某事(未做)。根据题意可知，不要忘记明天要做的事，事情还没有做。故选B。
用所给词的适当形式填空
1．Look！That river is very ________(widely)．

By Tony Smith England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countryside is.
It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days. 1 Tower Bridge and the River Thames
