Unit 1
句型精析
1
This makes them difficult for some people to read ... (Page 2)
【解析】在某些“形容词＋不定式”作表语或宾语补足语的结构中，句子的主语或宾语又是动词不定式的
逻辑宾语时，常用不定式的主动形式表达被动含义。这些形容词有nice, easy, fit, hard, difficult, important,
impossible, pleasant, interesting等。如：
This has made the problem easy to work out. 这使得该问题很容易解决。
He is difficult to deal with. 他很难对付。
This story is interesting to read. 这个故事读起来很有趣。
2 Having lost his parents, Pip lives with his older sister and her husband Joe. (Page 3)
【解析】Having lost ... 是现在分词的完成式，在句子中作原因状语，表示后面主句动作发生的原因，该动作
发生在主句动作之前，所以需用现在分词的完成式。如：
Having arrived late, he didn’t catch the train. 因为来晚了，他没有赶上火车。
Having failed in the exam, he was criticized. 因为考试不及格，他受到了批评。
3 Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London. (Page 3)
【解析】这里it是形式宾语代替从句when Joe comes to visit him in London。某些表示“喜、怒、哀、乐”的动
词，如like, enjoy, love, hate, appreciate等，往往不能直接跟宾语从句，而要使用it作形式宾语。如：
I don’t like it that he’s so lazy. 我不喜欢他那么懒惰。
I hate it when my mother asks me to eat eggs. 我讨厌母亲要我吃鸡蛋。
【拓展】that引导的宾语从句不能直接放在介词之后，也要用it作为形式宾语。如：
You may depend on it that we shall always help you. 尽管放心，我们会随时帮你的。
Would you see to it that she gets home early? 你负责保证她早到家，好吗？
He insisted on it that he was innocent. 他坚持说自己是无辜的。
4 The poetry of this period often focuses on concepts like freedom and beauty, and tends to use imagination and
touch on strong feelings. (Page 14)
【解析】tend to do sth. 表示“有某种倾向性，会朝着某个方向发展”。如：
People tend to get fat when they grow older. 人们老了容易发胖。
My grandmother tends to go to bed early every day. 我祖母每天通常睡得较早。
动词tend还可以后接表示方向的副词，如upwards, eastward等，表示“向某个方向延伸，发展”。如：
The price is tending upwards. 物价有上涨的趋势。
【拓展】tend还可作及物动词，表示“照料”，常用于结构tend (to) sb./sth.。如：
Doctors and nurses tended (to) the injured. 医生和护士照料伤员。
He has tended (to) business for two or three months. 他照看生意两三个月了。
【巩固】根据中文提示完成下列句子：
(1) It
in summer here. （夏季这里容易下雨。）
(2) The storm
(3) She
. （风暴有东移的趋势。）
carefully during his illness. （她丈夫生病期间, 她无微不至地照顾他。）
答案：(1) tends to rain
(2) tends eastward
(3) tended (to) her husband

Unit 1
语法指导
否定陈述
在英语中，否定陈述经常用来纠正错误的看法；有时否定陈述也可表示肯定的意思。否定陈述可以用不同的方
式表示。
1
情态动词/助动词的否定
其形式为“情态动词／助动词 + not + 动词原形”。如：
We can’t stop or we won’t get there on time.
我们不能停, 否则就不能准时到达那儿。
If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, he will go fishing.
如果明天不下雨，他将去钓鱼。
2 全部否定
全部否定句通常由含有全部否定意义的词，如no, none, nobody, nowhere, no one, never, neither和nor等，加上
表示肯定意义的谓语动词构成。如：
Nobody told you to look down upon the disabled.
没有人让你去瞧不起残疾人。
Neither of his parents is an English teacher.
他的父母都不是英语老师。
None of the students passed the exam and the teacher felt very disappointed.
所有学生都没通过考试，老师感到十分失望。
3 部分否定
部分否定句是由表示总括意义的词，如all, both, every, each, everything, everybody以及always, completely,
entirely, wholly等，加上否定词not, never等构成。如：
To the author’s surprise, the students don’t like both of his books.
令这位作者奇怪的是，他的两本书学生们并不都喜欢。
Not everyone in our class likes playing football.
在我们班并非每个人都喜欢踢足球。
All that glitters is not gold. = Not all that glitters is gold.
发光的未必都是金子。
4 否定转移
(1) 在复合句中，若宾语从句表示否定意义，而主句是I (we) + think (believe, suppose, expect, imagine等) 时，
则要把从句中的否定词not前移到主句中。如：
I don’t think it’s necessary for you to read this book to improve your English.
我认为你没有必要去读这本书来提高英语水平。
(2) 在“... not ... because ...”结构中，如果否定词否定的是由because引导的整个状语从句，则把not前移到主
句中，且不用逗号将其隔开。如：
Mary and her sister didn’t go to see the film because they liked it.
玛丽和她的妹妹并不是因为喜欢那部电影才去看的。
4

Unit 1
(3) 当happen, used to, seem等词后加动词不定式构成复合谓语时，如果不定式表示否定含义，则把not前移到
这些词的前面。如：
The news didn’t seem to be true.
这个消息好像并不是真的。
(4) 在“appear/as if/feel/feel like/look/seem/sound + 从句”的结构中，从句的否定词常常移到这些动词或短语
的前面。如：
It doesn’t look as if the handsome young man is English.
那个清秀的小伙子看起来并不像英国人。
It doesn’t sound as if the poor girl knows what has happened to her in the accident.
听起来，这个可怜的女孩好像不知道事故中发生了什么。
5 双重否定
(1) 否定词与有否定前缀的词连用，意义为肯定，但语气较弱。如：
It is not unlikely that he will stay at home on Sunday.
他不是不可能星期天待在家里的。（说明有可能，但语气弱）
(2) 否定词分别出现在主句和从句中，构成双重否定。如：
There is nobody who does not know the villain in the town.
在小镇上，这个恶棍无人不知。
6 形式上否定，意义上肯定
A student cannot be too diligent. 学生愈勤勉愈好。
You could not find a better place in the world like this to live in. 世界上你再也找不到比这还好的地方居住了。
7 其他形式的否定
借助于否定副词、介词短语、固定句式来形成否定：hardly, unless, far from, free from, would rather ... than ...,
anything but, the last + 名词 + ... 等。如：
Rich as the boss is, he hardly knows how to write his own name.
尽管这个老板很有钱，但他不会写自己的名字。
I never sleep with the window closed unless it’s really cold.
除非天气很冷，否则我是不会关着窗户睡觉的。
This kind of fast food is said to be free from artificial colours and flavourings.
据说这种快餐是不含人工色素和人工调料的。
He is the last man for me to invite to visit our school.
再怎么说，我也不会邀请他参观我们的学校。
8 否定与倒装
(1) 表示否定意义的never, hardly等放在句首时，句子要倒装（部分倒装，谓语的一部分前置）。如：
Never have I seen the couple quarrelling since I lived there.
自从我住那里以来，我从未看到这对夫妇吵过架。
(2) 在not only ... but (also), no sooner ... than, hardly ... when, scarcely ... when等结构中，not only, no sooner,
hardly和scarcely引导的句子要部分倒装。如：
No sooner had the thief seen the policewoman than he ran away.
= Hardly had the thief seen the policewoman when he ran away.
小偷看到那位女警察就跑了。

Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于英语诗歌的短文，按要求答题
Reading poetry brings people from different places and different times together. More than any other form of
literature, poetry plays with sounds, words and grammar. That makes poetry dif?cult to write, but very interesting to
read. Poetry also calls up all the colours, feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.
China has a long history during which many of the world’s greatest poets were active. Poems by Du Fu, Li Bai and
Wang Wei among others stand out in the glory of Chinese poetry. When you have read some Chinese poems, you will
have seen and heard some of the features that all good poetry shares.
The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now dif?cult to understand. Modern English
started around the time of William Shakespeare, towards the end of the sixteenth century. The seventeenth century was a
great time for English poetry. Shakespeare is most famous for his plays. His sonnets (十四行诗), however, belong to the
best English poetry. In the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works
because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo. Before the end of
the century, there was another famous writer, John Milton. Once published, his work became famous for the absence of
rhyme at the end of each line. In the eighteenth century it was Alexander Pope who wrote the ?nest poetry in England.
The next period that produced a great number of ?ne poets was the nineteenth century. Greatly loved in China are the
English Romantic poets. The Romantic poets were more interested in the individual and the power of imagination than
they were in politics. They produced wonderful images to express human emotions and to paint pictures of the natural
world. They also got inspiration from the myths of past ages, especially the Greek myths, and from their own experiences
of love.
More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English. Translations can be good, but being able to
read in English gives you much more choices. Besides, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit
of the original work is lost. Reading poetry in English also opens the door to ?nding new ways of expressing yourself in
Chinese.
In sum, poems can be bridges between the East and the West. They can help us to understand each other better.

四、 阅读电影《傲慢与偏见》的新闻报道，根据短文回答问题
Letter to a dream lover
British novelist Jane Austen’s works have been made into movies again and again. The latest version of Pride and
Prejudice was nominated (提名) for four Oscar awards this year, including the Best Actress in a Leading Role.
What’s made Austen’s novels popular for almost 200 years? Let’s see what an American high school student said
after seeing the movie. The following letter to a dream lover was written by Sasha Mushegian, a senior at Blue Valley
North High School in Overland Park, Kansas, US.
My dear sir,
Besides the pleasing sight of Keira Knightley standing on a cliff edge, wind blowing in her hair, the most recent ?lm
of Pride and Prejudice contains many life lessons for gentlemen such as yourself.
You may be wondering why Mr Darcy interests so many girls. At the beginning of the story he is a most unlikable
character—arrogant and ignorant of smart Elizabeth Bennett’s charms.
The answer is simple. He sees the error of his ways and reforms. He realizes that Elizabeth, however poor or
socially inferior, is completely worth any sacri?ce.
What Darcy has is an appreciation for the qualities that make Elizabeth special—her “?ne eyes”, “improving her
mind with reading” and the rest of it. Knowing that someone notices and realizes the value of your personal qualities
goes a long way.
Darcy also knows when to be subtle and when to break free from social rules. In some situations, hints dropped in a
handwritten letter are best (forget e-mail or instant messaging). But at the end, you simply must do something grand like
burst into a room and say “My heart is, and always will be, yours.”
Jane Austen’s books have remained so popular over the years because they are so breathtakingly romantic.
You don’t need to do much. But a better understanding of the dignity, even with ?aws (小缺点), of someone like
Mr Darcy will greatly increase your favour with girls (like yours truly). They like English accents and secretly wish they
could wear lacy dresses all the time.
Yours,
Sasha
1 What does the girl think of the new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice?
2 Why have Jane Austen’s books remained so popular over the years according to the girl?
3 What does the girl hope her dream lover looks like?
4 What does the girl intend to say in her letter?

四、阅读理解
I was now in my twenty-third year of residence in this island and was so naturalized to the place and to the manner
of living that I could have but enjoyed the certainty that no savages (野人) would come to the place to disturb me, and
that I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and
died, like the old goat in the cave.
I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a
great deal than it did before.
At ?rst, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plainly that it was very
17

Unit 1
pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than six and twenty years. How long he might live afterwards, I know
not; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still,
calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man the ill luck to come there and hear him. But if he did,
he would certainly believe it was the devil.
My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of
mere old age.
As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at ?rst to keep them from eating up
all I had.
Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my
?rst. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
I had also several tame sea-fowls, whose names I know not, who I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And
the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived
among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be very well
contented with the life I led, if it might but have been secured from the threat of the savages.
1 What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Robin Crusoe loved animals and savages very much.
B. Robin Crusoe trained his animals in pleasant ways.
C. The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
D. The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
2 How many kinds of animals except humans are mentioned in this passage?
A. 3.
3 What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Savages. B. Brazilians.
B. 5.
C. 7.
D. 9.
C. Parrots.
D. Islanders.
4 This passage is selected from a novel. The hero of this novel probably comes from
.
A. Brazil
B. Britain
C. Australia
D. the U.S
五、书面表达
根据下列中文提示，用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，简要介绍查尔斯·狄更斯（Charles Dickens）。
查尔斯·狄更斯是19世纪杰出的文学家。他于1812年出生在一个贫困的家庭。10岁时，他父亲负债入狱，

a rapid/sharp/dramatic/steep/gradual decline 迅速 / 急剧 / 逐渐下降
An increase in cars has resulted in the decline of public transport.
汽车的增加导致公共交通的衰败。

句型精析
1
Just imagine performing such an opera in the Forbidden City—there could not be a more awesome setting!
(Page 18)
20

Unit 2
【解析】在这句话中not 和more awesome连用，表示“最好的”。在英语中否定词和比较级连用时常常有最高
级的含义。用于该结构中的否定词有：not, no, never, nothing等。如：
This could give her no greater pleasure. 这使她再高兴不过了。
I have never spent a more worrying day. 我从没有过过比这更心烦的日子。
There’s nothing cheaper. 这东西再便宜不过了。
该结构还可以用“can’t/couldn’t + 比较级”的形式。如：
I can’t agree with you more. 我再同意不过了。
The weather couldn’t be worse. 天气再糟糕不过了。
2
3
However, although he would like to, he cannot break his promise and must allow Turandot to do as she wishes.
(Page 18)
【解析】句中although he would like to是状语从句；to 后面省略了break his promise，以使行文简洁。
... so Turandot seizes Calaf’s father and Liu, and demands that they tell her Calaf’s name or they will be beaten.
(Page 19)
【解析】句中动词demand 意为“要求，请求”，后接名词性从句时，从句要使用虚拟语气：谓语动词使用
“should + 动词原形”的结构，should可以省略。 类似的动词还包括suggest, propose, command, request, desire,
order, insist等动词。如：
The workers demanded that their wages (should) be increased. 工人们要求增加工资。
We suggest that the meeting (should) be postponed. 我们建议会议延期。
The chairman proposed that they (should) stop the meeting. 主席建议他们中止会议。
The leader ordered the soldiers (should) be sent to the front at once. 那位领导人下令马上派兵上前线。
They insist that he (should) obey every command. 他们坚持他该服从一切命令。
Wanting to protect the father, Liu claims that she alone knows the name, but resists telling Turandot. (Page 19)
【解析】Wanting to protect the father是现在分词作原因状语。现在分词短语在句中作原因状语时，相当于一个
原因状语从句。此时分词的逻辑主语须是句中的主语。这样的原因状语可以换成because或as引导的原因状语
从句。如：
4
Not knowing how to work out the difficult physics problem, he asked the teacher for help.
= Because he didn’t know how to work out the difficult physics problem, he asked the teacher for help.
因为不知道如何解这道物理难题，他求助老师。
Having lived with the girl for 5 years, we all know her very well.
= Because we have lived with the girl for 5 years, we all know her very well.
因为与那个女孩一起生活了五年，我们都非常了解她。
5
While the blues was popular, as a musical format it lacked variety and was too sad and slow to dance to. (Page 30)
【解析】while可以引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管……”。如：
While he loves his students, he is very strict with them.
虽然他爱他的学生, 可是他对他们很严格。
注意，while引导让步状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，并且从句谓语中含有be动词，那么从
句的主语和 be 动词都可以省略。如：
While he was ill, he went there. = While ill, he went there. 虽然他有病，但他还是去那里了。
6 Wherever the Beatles went, there was a phenomenon called ‘Beatlemania’—thousands of fans would surround
them, screaming and going crazy trying to see them. (Page 31)
【解析】Wherever the Beatles went在句中是让步状语从句，表示“无论甲壳虫乐队走到哪里”，也可以用no
matter where来引导。如：
Wherever you go, I will be together with you.
= No matter where you go, I will be together with you. 无论你去哪，我都跟你在一起。
21

Unit 2
语法指导
省略
省略是英语中的一种避免重复，突出关键词语，并使上下文紧密连接的语法手段。英语中，省略的原则是既不
损害语法结构，同时又不能产生歧义。
1
不使用替代词的省略
(1) 省略主语
I have done more than (what) is required.
我已经做得比该做的多了。
(You) Open the window and the door for me, please.
请替我打开窗户和门。
(2) 省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分
Why (do) not (you) say goodbye to your lovely cousin?
为什么不和你可爱的表弟说再见呢？
(Are you) Ready? Try to answer these questions in your own words.
准备好了吗？试着用你们自己的话来回答这些问题。
(3) 省略宾语
—Which of them is better?
它们中哪个更好？
—Well, it is hard to tell (which of them is better).
嗯，这很难说。
(4) 省略表语
—Are you hungry? 你饿吗？
—Yes, I am (hungry). 是的，我饿了。
(5) 省略所有格后面的名词
Jack and his sister stayed in his uncle’s (home) during the summer vacation.
杰克和他的妹妹暑假里住在他的叔叔家。
The girl’s handwriting is much better than his brother’s (handwriting).
这个女孩的字写得比她弟弟（的）好得多。
(6) 省略定语从句中的关系代词
关系代词that, which, whom在定语从句中作宾语时通常都可以省略。如：
The book (that) he bought last week is written by Guo Jingming.
他上周买的那本书是郭敬明写的。
Here is the wonderful book (which) I have read many times.
这就是我读过多遍的很棒的书。
The man (whom) you had said hello to was my English teacher.
你刚才打招呼的那个人是我的英语老师。
(7) 不定式中的省略
a 英语中为避免重复，经常省略上文已提到的动词原形，只保留不定式符号to；这类动词有
expect, forget, hope, intend, mean, prefer, refuse, try, want, wish, would like, like和love等。如：
She asked me to dance with her, but I didn’t want to (dance with her).
她邀请我和她跳舞，但我不想跳。
22

Unit 2
—Do you want to give us a lecture about how to use an English dictionary?
你想和我们做个关于如何使用英语词典的讲座吗？
—No, I prefer not to (give you a lecture about how to use an English dictionary).
不，我不愿做。
b 在have to, need, ought to, be going to, used to等后省略动词。如：
I really didn’t want to go there with him, but I had to (go there with him).
虽然我真不想和他一起去那儿，但又不得不去。
c 在某些形容词delighted, glad, happy, pleased等后省略to后面的动词。如：
—Will you join in our discussion? 和我们一起讨论吧？
—I’ll be glad to (join in your discussion). 很高兴参加。
d 如果不定式中带有be, have, have been等，通常保留be, have, have been。如：
—Did he pass the driving test? 他通过驾驶考试了吗？
—No, but he ought to have (passed the driving test). 没有，不过他应该通过的。
2 使用替代词的省略
通常情况下，在省略了某个词、短语或句子时，还需要用某个替代词。常用的替代词有：do/does/did,
so, not, neither, nor和the same等。
(1) 用助动词do/does/did来替代上文出现的动词，以免重复。如：
She speaks English more fluently than her elder sister does.
她的英语说得比姐姐流利。
(2) 用so可替代单词、短语或句子，作believe, expect, do, fear, hope, suppose, say, think等的宾语。如：
—Will it be fine tomorrow? 明天会是晴天吗？
—I hope so. (I hope that it will be fine tomorrow.) 我希望如此。
3 状语从句和独立主格结构中的省略
(1) 在虚拟条件句中，当谓语动词中含有were, had, should等时，连词if可省略，但were, had和should等需要
倒装到主语的前面。如：
Had I had time, I would have gone shopping with you.
要是有空的话，我就可以和你一起逛街了。
(2) 如果状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，并且从句的谓语部分有be动词，则可以将从句的主语连同be动
词一起省略。引导这类状语从句的连词有：when, while, though, if和unless等。如：
The little girl began to cry when (she was) asked by the police.
当警察问小姑娘话时，她哭了起来。
The old woman was knocked down while (she was) crossing the street.
那位老太太过马路时被撞倒了。
(3) 有些状语从句中，如果从句的主语是it，其后的be动词及其主语可一起省略。这种结构通常为if it is
possible, when it is necessary等。如：
Please try to finish your homework by yourself if (it is) possible.
如果可能的话，请尽量独立完成你的家庭作业。
We’ll have the old house pulled down when (it is) necessary.
必要时，我们会把老房子推倒。
(4) 在作状语的独立主格结构中，分词短语往往可以部分省略。如：
The work (having been) done, the secretary left the office and went home.
工作做完后，秘书离开办公室回家。
The weather (being) fine, we decided to go on a picnic on the beach.
天气很好，我们决定到海滩野餐。

Unit 2
一课一练
Period 1 Welcome to the unit
阅读关于青少年对待音乐的态度的文章，根据内容选择正确答案
Teenagers’ attitude towards music
Music is not air, neither is it water. But for many senior high school students, music is an important and enjoyable
part of life. This conclusion can be made following a survey on readers’ attitudes to music.
Nearly 10,000 readers responded to the survey. Over half, 52 per cent, say that they listen to music whenever they
are free. Just 0.5 per cent of students say they never listen to music.
Most listen to both English and Chinese songs in equal amounts. But the survey showed that students have very
different tastes and enjoy a wide variety of styles. “Our generation is diverse, and that’s re?ected in our tastes,” said Liu
Yujia, a Senior Three student. Liu is a pop fan but also likes the R & B of Jay Chow, a big favourite among students in
the survey.
About 32 per cent of students listen to pop music. Behind pop came R & B (28 per cent), country (14 per cent), Jazz
(9 per cent), hip hop (8 per cent) and others. Only about 10 per cent are diehard (铁杆的) rock and roll fans. An Qi, from
Rizhao No. 1 High School, Shandong Province, is one. The Senior One girl says that the exciting rhythm has the power
that takes her mind off schoolwork and exams. It is the melody (旋律) rather than the words or fame of singers that
students like. Over 60 per cent say they choose a song mainly because they like the music.
“Good music makes me believe that it was written just for me—even if it is the ?rst time I listen to it. I think that is
why music is so important to young people—more than movies, more than TV,” An Qi says.
TV and movies are the main ways that students hear new songs or music. 46 per cent of students say they are
affected by music played on TV or in ?lms. Friends (21 per cent) and radio (19 per cent) also play an important role in
introducing music to teenagers.
Parents have the least effect on students’ taste and do not enjoy the same music. Just 3 per cent listen to music that
their parents introduce them to. More than half the teens surveyed, 54 per cent, see nothing wrong with downloading
music free from the Internet, which is actually prohibited by the copyright law.

B. Jazz.
C. Pop music.
.
D. Rock and roll.
2 Students hear new songs and music mainly
