定语从句
在复合句中，修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫作定语从句。被定语从句修饰的名词、代词称为先行词。引导定语从句的词被称为关系词。关系词根据其在定语从句中的功能可分为关系代词和关系副词。关系代词有that，which，who，whom，whose，as等，在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语(whose常作定语)等。关系副词有where，when，why等，在定语从句中分别作地点状语、时间状语和原因状语等。
一、关系代词的用法比较
1．that和which
(1)that在定语从句中可以指人也可以指物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语，可以代替who，whom，which，但是在下列情况下一般只能用that(作宾语时可以省略)而不用which引导定语从句来指物。
①先行词被序数词修饰时
The first film(that)I saw can't be remembered.
我看过的第一部电影记不起来了。
②先行词被形容词的最高级修饰时
This is the most expensive pen(that)I have ever bought.这是我买过的最贵的一支钢笔。
③先行词是all，everything，something，anything，nothing，none等不定代词时
I'll do everything(that)I can to help you.
我将尽我所能地帮助你。
④先行词被the only，the very修饰时

唯一重要的事是找到我们回家的路。
⑤先行词既有人也有物时
Look at the man and his donkey that are walking up the street.
请看沿街走上前来的那个人和他的那头驴子。
(2)which指物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。在下列情况下只能用which引导定语从句，而不用that。
①which可引导非限制性定语从句，that则不能
He had failed in the maths exam，which made his father very angry.
他数学考试不及格，这件事让他父亲很生气。
②在介词提前的定语从句中，只用which而不用that引导
This is the factory in which my brother used to work.
这是我哥哥过去工作的工厂。
2．as与which引导非限制性定语从句的比较
(1)as引导非限制性定语从句，可以放在句首而which则不能。
As we expected，he performed the task with success.
正如我们所期望的那样，他成功地完成了任务。
(2)as可用于类似插入语的句式中，例如：as is known to all，as it is，as is said above等，而which不可以。
This elephant is like a snake，as anybody can see.
谁都看得出，这头大象像一条蛇。
(3)在定语从句中，as除了能充当一定的句子成分外，还具有“正如(像……)”“由……而知”等意义，而which无此义。
He agreed to the plan，as we expected.
正如我们所预料的，他同意这个计划。
3．whose与of whom，of which引导的定语从句
whose在定语从句中作定语，可指人(的)也可指物(的)，whose指物(的)时常可用of which代替，whose指人(的)时常可用of whom代替。
This is the scientist whose name is known all over the world.
(＝This is the scientist the name of whom is known all over the world.)
Nobody wants the house whose roof has fallen in.
(＝Nobody wants the house the roof of which has fallen in.)
二、关系副词的用法
关系副词可以替代先行词是时间、地点、原因的名词，并在句中作状语。
1．when指时间，代替时间名词，如：time，hour，morning，day，year等，在定语从句中作时间状语。
I still remember the day when I first came to the school.
我仍然记得来学校的第一天。
2．where指地点，其先行词往往是表示地点的名词，如：place，table，room，spot，house，school等，在定语从句中作地点状语。
This is the place where I often park my car.
这是我经常停车的地方。
3．why指原因，其先行词只有表示原因的名词reason，在定语从句中作原因状语。

请告诉我你没赶上飞机的原因。
【提示】 关系副词引导的从句可以由“介词＋关系代词”引导的从句替换。

英语旅行日记的写法
[写作指导]
本单元的写作项目与旅行日记有关。旅行日记是记录旅行过程，发表旅行感受的应用文，写作时应注意以下几点：
1．准确把握时态。
旅行日记的主要内容是以时间为顺序进行叙述，所以应以一般过去时为主。当然根据需要也可以在过去进行时、过去完成时乃至一般现在时之间准确切换。旅行日记的结尾通常是作者的感受，不受时间的影响，应当用一般现在时来表达。
2．选词要规范，提高语言的得体性。
在列举参观的内容时可以使用I enjoyed many...，such as...。在表达从参观中有所收获时可以使用I learned.../I gained...等句型。
3．恰当使用过渡性词汇，增强叙述性文章的连贯性。
既要注意一天中时间表达的准确，也要注意介词同一处多个景点内容的衔接。在介绍众所周知的知识时，可以使用as we all know，as is known to all等开头。

Salvador Dali (1904—1989)was one of the most popular of modern artists.The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings，sculptures，drawings and more.Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces，most importantly The Persistence of Memory.There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938，works on paper，objects，and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning，the world of birth.The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限)．“From the infinity small to the infinity large，contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus：amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras，”explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid，Spain，and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Petersburg，Florida.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心展览了萨尔瓦多·达利众多的艺术展品，以帮助人们了解萨尔瓦多·达利的作品风格。
1．Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?
A．Optimistic. B．Productive.
C．Generous. D．Traditional.
【解析】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings，sculptures，drawings and more.”可知，巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心的展览汇集了达利200多件油画、雕塑、绘画等作品，由此可以推断出他是一个多产的(productive)艺术家。对于他的“乐观”、“慷慨”和“传统”，文中没有信息句支持。故选项B正确。
【答案】 B
2．What is Dali's The Persistence of Memory considered to be?
A．One of his masterworks.
B．A successful screen adaptation.
C．An artistic creation for the stage.
D．One of the best TV programmes.
【解析】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces，most importantly The Persistence of Memory.”可知，The Persistence of Memory是达利最优秀的作品之一，即杰作之一。故选项A正确。根据第一段最后一句“...works on paper，objects，and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.”可知是其他作品与 stage，screen，television programmes有关，而不是 The Persistence of Memory这部作品，故排除B、C、D三项。
【答案】 A
3．How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?
A．By popularity. B．By importance.
C．By size and shape. D．By time and subject.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.”可知，达利的作品展览是按照时间和主题组织的。对于按照“流行度”“重要性”“尺寸和形状”等这样的形式，文中并无信息支持。故选项D正确。
【答案】 D
4．What does the word “contributions”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Artworks. B．Projects.
C．Donations. D．Documents.
【解析】 词义猜测题。最后一段强调了对主要作品进行了精选(the fine selection of the major works)，又点明contributions来自其他机构，所以可推断出 contributions 应该属于 works 的范畴。故选项A正确。
【答案】 A
B
Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2，000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors' lane(赛道)．Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos(disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones)．All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10，000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣), but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bun·· ol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50，000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!

5．In the Stilton Cheese Rolling competition, competitors on each team must ________．

B．roll a wooden cheese in their own lane

Ⅲ.阅读理解
If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language，you will get answers like “Shakespeare”，“Samuel Johnson” and “Webster”，but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066，in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups.In the west-central region lived the Welsh，who spoke a Celtic language，and in the north lived the Scots，whose language，though not the same as Welsh，was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons，actually a mixture of Anglos，Saxons，and other Germanic and Nordic peoples，who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English)，a Germanic language.If this state of affairs had lasted，English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last.In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England.For about a century，French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants.As a result，English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German.In some cases，modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words.We even have different words for some foods，meat in particular，depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked，which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming，while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time，they usually find Germany more“foreign”than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does.Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
1．The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were________．
A．Welsh and Scottish
B．Nordic and Germanic
C．Celtic and Old English
D．Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
【解析】 根据第二段中的“...who spoke a Celtic language...”和“...who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English)．..”可知C项正确。
【答案】 C
2. Which of the following groups of words are，by inference，rooted in French?
A．President；lawyer；beef.
B．President；bread；water.
C．Bread；field；sheep.
D．Folk；field；cow.
【解析】 根据文章第三段可知，当时的英国，法语是上层社会的语言，而旧式英语是农民阶层的语言。由此可知，只有选项A中的president，lawyer及beef是法语词。
【答案】 A
3．Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A．Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B．They know little of the history of the English language.
C．Many French words are similar to English ones.
D．They know French better than German.
【解析】 由第四段第一句后半句“...because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does.”可知，因为法语和英语在书写上很相似，所以美国人认为法语比德语更像英语。
【答案】 C
4．What is the subject discussed in the text?
A．The history of Great Britain.
B．The similarity between English and French.
C．The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D．The French influences on the English language.
【解析】 本文没有讲英国历史，也没有举任何例子说明英语与法语的相似点，更未提及William the Conqueror的统治史，所以A、B、C三项均不正确。文章末尾指出“...the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.”。故D项是正确选项。
【答案】 D
Ⅳ.完形填空

The visitor discuss the subject in the way that seemed particularly interesting to me. Before he left，I said, “What a man！And how extreme he is interested in boats！” My aunt told me that he was a businessman and that he took no interests in the subject. “But why did he talk about boats？” “Because he saw you were interested in boats，so he talked about the things to please you.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
One of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律). Generally, English people are polite and always want to please others. On the other hand, they don't like to show their emotions，even in dangerous situations.Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.
We often hear of the English “reserve”(矜持). On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sitting together, often there won't be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. That wouldn't be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too.
The English value privacy (隐私) very much. An Englishman's house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors'. An Englishman's house is his castle.
Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people—the Scottish dress. Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume—the kilt. This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men. The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.

Ⅳ.阅读七选五
On holidays you're likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings，office parties and celebrating with friends. __1__ Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet：
1．Switch to small plates
Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster, but the same size helping looks like more food when it's on a small dish. __2__ But whatever the size of your plate, it's most important to remember to keep it balanced: half for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for lean meat.
2．Measure out snacks
Your favorite holiday movie is on. Take a minute to check the nutrition label(标签)and measure out a serving to keep calories in check. Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example.__3__ But the bag contains 2.5 servings. Eat the whole thing on your own，and you'll have eaten 425 calories.
3．Split an entree(主菜)
Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal.__4__ Or pack half your entree to go as soon as it's served. Or choose a small-size option，if available.
4．Stop eating when you feel satisfied
You don't have to feel too full, or force yourself to clean your plate, before putting down your fork. __5__ When you're satisfied, save the rest for leftovers.
A．Share a main dish with a friend.
B．It's important for you to eat more on holidays.
C．Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger.
D．Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year.
E．Enjoy an entree slowly by yourself.
F．So you'll be likely to serve yourself less.
G．One serving is about 4 cups popped with 170 calories.
