Modern Success Stories in the Neighborhood
In this neighborhood, there are a number of people who are in need of a little help. Cynthia Marks is a single mother who finds it difficult to work all day and to put dinner on the table every night for her four kids.She talked to her neighbor, Ann Cullen, another single mother with two children, who works full time. Ann understood Cynthia’s needs. She, too, often felt anger at having to coordinate(协调) the cooking and cleaning after working all day.So the two neighbors thought of a plan. They decided that they would take turns cooking for each other’s families once a week. They were ready for a change. They had a feeling that this would improve their lives.
There are hundreds of neighborhoods in which people need some help to do ordinary chores(杂事). Neighborhood groups exist to help people in a number of different ways. There are groups that help older people
who can no longer drive or do their shopping on their own.There are neighborhood crime?watch groups that watch for any signs of robberies. There are child?safety programs that ask adults to watch out for neighborhood children who may need to come to a safe home in an emergency.
Cynthia and Ann’s plan was a success. They now share meal making and sometimes eat together with three other neighbors. According to Ann, cooking for a group once a week is better than cooking five nights a week for three. In addition to sharing dinner, Cynthia and Ann get to talk about their problems and responsibilities. They find it is beneficial just to be able to discuss a problem with another adult. With their neighbors, they discuss the neighborhood school their young children attend and let each other know about special sales in neighborhood stores or social events that will be taking place. According to these women, they were able to build a relationship that has improved their lives.

A LETTER HOME
Dear Rosemary,
Thanks for your letter,which took a fortnight① to arrive. It was wonderful to hear from② you. I know you’re dying to③ hear all about my life here, so I’ve included④ some photos which will help you picture⑤ the places I talk about.
◆which took a fortnight to arrive是非限制性定语从句,修饰your letter。
◆I know...talk about.中,I know...here是省略that的宾语从句,which will help...是which引导的定语从句,修饰some photos,I talk about是省略that的定语从句。
You asked about my high school. Well, it’s a bush school—the classrooms are made of bamboo and the roofs⑥ of grass.It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a muddy⑦ track⑧. When I reach the school grounds there are lots of “good mornings” for me from the boys. Many of them have walked a long way, sometimes up to⑨ two hours, to get to school.
◆the roofs of grass 承接and前的分句,roofs后省略了are made。
◆It takes sb. some time to do sth.做某事花费某人一些时间。
There’s no electricity or water and even no textbooks⑩ either! I’m still trying to adapt to? these conditions?. However, one thing is for sure?, I’ve become more imaginative? in my teaching. Science is my most challenging?subject as my students have no concept? of doing experiments. In fact there is no equipment, and if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a bucket?! The other day? I was showing the boys the weekly? chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture? was bubbling over everywhere! The boys who had never come across anything like this before started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students, most of whom will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be honest, I doubt whether I’m making any difference to these boys’ lives at all.
◆as my students have no concept...是as引导的原因状语从句。下一段第二句中的as I don’t speak...也是as引导的原因状语从句。
◆I was showing...中was showing...when是“be doing...when...”结构,before I knew...是before引导的时间状语从句。
◆who had never come across anything like this before是who引导的定语从句,修饰The boys。
◆most of whom...是“代词+介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰these students。从句中will be doing sth.是将来进行时,表示将来某一具体时间点或时间段正在发生的事情。
You asked whether I’m getting to know any local people. Well, that’s actually quite difficult as I don’t speak much of the local English dialect yet. But last weekend another teacher, Jenny, and I did visit a village which is the home of one of the boys, Tombe. It was my first visit to a remote village. We walked for two and a half hours to get there—first up a mountain to a ridge from where we had fantastic views and then down a steep path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother, Kiak, who had been pulling weeds in her garden, started crying “ieee ieee”. We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be a relativeof Tombe’s.
◆did visit中did表示强调,强调谓语动词visit,意为“确实,的确”。强调谓语在其前加do/does/did。强调主语、宾语、状语等成分用强调句型:it is/was+被强调部分+that+其他部分。
◆which is the home of...是which引导的定语从句,修饰a village。
◆from where引导定语从句,where指代on the ridge或along the ridge。
◆When we...“ieee ieee”.中When we arrived at the village是when引导的时间状语从句,Kiak是Tombe’s mother的同位语,who had...是who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰Tombe’s mother。
Tombe’s father, Mukap, led us to his house, a low bamboo hutwith grass sticking out of the roof—this shows it is a man’s house. The huts were round, not rectangular like the school buildings. There were no windows and the doorway was just big enough to get through. The hut was dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a newly made platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. Usually Kiak would sleep in her own hut, but that night she was going to share the platform with us. Mukap and Tombe were to sleep on small beds in another part of the hut. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut near the doorway. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few tin plates and cups and a couple of jars.
◆with grass sticking out of the roof是with复合结构,在句中作定语,修饰hut。
◆for sb. to do是动词不定式的复合结构,在句中作后置定语。若动词为不及物动词,其后要加相应的介词。
◆I could see是省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰先行词possessions。先行词被The only修饰,定语从句引导词要用that,不能用which。
Outside Mukap was building a fire. Once the fire was going, he laid stones on it. When hot, he placed them in an empty oil drum with kau kau (sweet potato), corn and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. I sniffed the food; it smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family softly talking to each other in their language, even though I could not participate in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe could be our interpreter.
◆once引导时间状语从句,意为“一旦”。
◆When hot是时间状语从句的省略,其完整形式为:when they were hot。
◆现在分词短语sitting round the fire在句中作方式状语。
◆even though(=even if) 引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管”。
Later, I noticed a tin can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a short time Tombe threw it out of the doorway. I was puzzled . Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. They believe that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night, so the food is dried up in the can and the can is then thrown out of the hut. Otherwise they don’t waste anything.
◆notice+宾语+doing sth.意为“注意到……在做某事”。句中现在分词standing作宾补。
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family.
◆my knees shaking承接and前的分句,knees后省略了were。
◆It was a privilege to do sth.做某事是一种殊荣。to have done是动词不定式的完成式,表明该动作先于谓语动词表示的动作发生。
It’s getting late and I have to prepare tomorrow’s lessons and do some paperwork . Please write soon.
Love,
Jo
一封家书
亲爱的罗斯玛丽:
谢谢你的来信,这封信花了两星期才到。收到你的信真是太高兴了。我知道你急于了解我在这里的生活情况,因此我在信中附了几张照片,这将帮助你想象出我所谈到的地方。
你问起我的中学情况。嗯,它是一所丛林学校——教室是用竹子搭起来的,屋顶是用茅草盖的。我只要沿着一条泥泞的小路步行几分钟就到学校了。当我走到学校操场的时候,迎接我的是男孩子们一片“早上好”的声音。他们中许多人要走很长的路,有时候走多达两个小时才到学校。
这儿没有电,也没有水,甚至连课本也没有!我还在努力适应这些情况。但是有一点是肯定的,我在教学中变得更富有想象力了。理科对我来说是最具有挑战性的课,因为我的学生对做实验没有概念。实际上,根本没有设备。如果需要水,我还得从家里用水桶提过来!不久前的一天,我正在给男孩子们做每周一次的化学实验的演示,我还没明白是怎么回事,这时混合剂就到处冒泡了!男孩子们以前从来没有见过这种情况,吓得都往窗外跳去。有时候我真想知道, 化学跟这些学生有多大关系。不管怎样他们中的大多数人上完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去了。说实在的,我很怀疑我教的课是否会让这些男孩子的生活有所改变。
你问我是否了解当地的老百姓。嗯,那实在是太难了,因为我还说不了几句当地人说的英语方言。不过,上周末我和另外一位叫珍妮的教师真的去访问了一个村庄, 那是其中一个男孩汤贝的家。这是我第一次到偏僻的村子里去。我们走了两个半小时到了那里——先爬到了一座山的山脊,在那儿我们欣赏了优美的风景, 然后下了一个陡坡,一直走到下面的山谷。当我们到达村庄的时候,汤贝的母亲齐亚克本来在园子里拔草,看到我们就“嗳矣,嗳矣”地叫了起来。我们同所有的村民都握了手。每个人看上去都是汤贝家的亲戚。
汤贝的父亲叫莫卡普,他把我们带到他的家里。这是一个低矮的竹屋,屋顶上伸出一簇茅草——它表示这间竹屋是男人住的。屋子是圆的,不像学校那样是长方形的。这里没有窗户,房门只够一个人进出。小屋内很黑,因此我们的眼睛过了好一阵才适应过来。地上摆放着一堆新鲜的草,还有一个新搭的平台,是供珍妮和我睡觉用的。通常齐亚克是睡在她自己的小屋里的,而那天晚上她要同我们一起睡在平台上。莫卡普和汤贝则睡在竹屋另一边的小床上。在竹屋中间靠近房门的地方有一个火炉。我所看到的仅有的财产就是一把扫帚、几个锡盘和锡杯,还有几个罐子。
莫卡普在屋子外边生火。火着起来后,他往火里放了几块石头。 当烧热时,他把石头放在一个空油桶里,加上一些考考(红薯)、玉米和青菜,然后用香蕉叶子把这些蔬菜盖上,等着它们蒸熟。我用鼻子嗅,食物闻起来很香。我们在小屋里围着火炉坐下来吃东西。他们家里人轻声细语地用自己的语言在交谈。我喜欢听他们谈话,尽管我不能参与谈话。幸好,汤贝能给我们当翻译。
后来,我发现有一个锡罐子倒放在火炉的烤架上。过了一会儿,汤贝把它从门道里扔了出去。我不懂为什么这样做。汤贝告诉我说,罐子加热是为了把里面的残菜剩饭烧干。他们相信剩饭会在夜晚引来邪灵,所以要把食物放在罐子里烧干,再把罐子扔到屋外去。否则的话,他们是不会浪费任何东西的。
第二天早晨,经过一番紧紧握手和道别之后,我们就离开了村庄。我们爬下山回家,往回走的时候,我的腿部肌肉发痛,膝盖发抖。那天晚上我很开心,倒在床上就睡了。能与汤贝一家一起度过一天的时间真是莫大的荣幸。
天色很晚了,我还得准备明天的课,做一些文书工作。请早日来信。
爱你的,
乔

Kendrick Lamar, who was born on June 17, 1987 in Compton, California, has won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music. He is the first winner who is not a classical or jazz musician. Columbia University awards the music prizes each year, which are a great honor. Lamar also got $15,000.
Farah Griffin, a teacher at the school, was in the group that picked Lamar’s album(专辑) for the Pulitzer Prize.“It’s big for hip hop(嘻哈音乐). I think it’s also big for our country and for music,” she said.“But it’s big for the Pulitzer Prize, too.”
Lamar’s album is called “DAMN”, which includes words that adults may not want kids to hear. He uses rhymes to tell stories about black life. His songs are about race, social justice(正义) and problems with police. But they are also about love and hope.
Music experts love the album. Music buyers do, too. That is something new as past Pulitzer Prize winners have been loved by experts, but they have not always sold a lot of albums.
Griffin said she thought some people “wouldn’t like the idea” of giving the prize to a rapper. She thought some might be angry. But she was surprised. “I haven’t heard a lot of that,” she said.
Regina Carter was also in the group that picked the album.“If a work is great enough, you can’t deny it,” she said.
The first Pulitzer Prizes were given in 1917, and music started to be honored in 1943. Awards used to go only to writers of classical music because it is more formal and it came from Europe. The Pulitzer Prizes have not always honored African?American musicians. Some wanted to give a special prize in 1965 to Duke Ellington, who was a great jazz artist, but he did not get a Pulitzer. A prize did not go to a jazz work until 1997. There is now more popular music among the prizes. Lin?Manuel Miranda wrote the hip hop musical “Hamilton” and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama(戏剧) in 2016.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了在2018年获得普利策音乐奖的说唱歌手——肯德里克·拉马尔。
4.What can we learn about Lamar from the text?
A.He put out his first album in 2018.
B.He learned hip hop from Farah Griffin.
C.He is a graduate of Columbia University.
D.He has made history by winning a Pulitzer Prize.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的He is the first winner who is not a classical or jazz musician.可知,肯德里克·拉马尔是第一个荣获普利策音乐奖的说唱歌手,所以他创造了历史。
5.What is special about Lamar’s album “DAMN”?
A.It is a bad seller.
B.It is given a great honor.
C.It is unaccepted by adults.
D.It aims to tell his own stories.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,肯德里克·拉马尔的专辑“DAMN”不仅获得了专家的认可,而且在市场上非常畅销,由此可知,人们非常认可他的专辑。
6.What made Griffin surprised?
A.Other music experts’ opposition.
B.Some people being angry with rappers.
C.People’s attitude toward Lamar’s winning.
D.Regina Carter not wanting to pick “DAMN”.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的内容可知,Griffin以为让一位说唱歌手获得普利策音乐奖会使有些人生气,但是事实并非如此,大家对他获奖一事持支持态度,这让Griffin很惊讶。
7.Why did the author mention Lin?Manuel Miranda?
A.To speak highly of hip hop musicians.
B.To introduce a world?famous popular star.
C.To show the Pulitzer Prize has changed over time.
D.To present the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Awards used to go only to writers of classical music及There is now more popular music among the prizes...won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama(戏剧) in 2016.可知,以前的普利策音乐奖都是颁给古典乐的,而随着时代的进步,越来越多的流行音乐也获此殊荣,作者提到创作嘻哈音乐的Lin?Manuel Miranda获得普利策戏剧奖是为了说明普利策奖在随着时代的进步而变化。

Early childhood is the best possible time to learn a second language. Children who experience two languages from birth typically become native speakers of both. But the question remains: Is it confusing for babies to learn two languages at the same time?
My partners and I recently studied the brain processing of language sounds in 11?month?old babies from monolingual (English only) and bilingual (Spanish?English) homes. We found some key differences between babies raised in monolingual versus bilingual homes. At 11 months of age, just before most babies begin to say their first words, the brain recordings showed that: Babies from monolingual English households are specialized to process(处理) the sounds of English, and not the sounds of Spanish, an unfamiliar language. Babies from bilingual Spanish?English households are specialized to process the sounds of both languages, Spanish and English.
Our findings show that babies’ brains become sensitive to whatever language or languages they hear from their caregivers. A monolingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of one language, and a bilingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of two languages. By 11 months of age, the activity in the baby brain reflects the language or languages that they have been exposed to.
It is now understood that the constant need to shift(转移) attention between languages leads to several cognitive(认知的) advantages. Research has found that bilingual adults and children show an improved executive functioning of the brain—that is, they are able to shift attention, switch between tasks and solve problems more easily. There is evidence that being bilingual makes the learning of a third language easier. Further, the effects of two?language experience are thought to translate into protective effects against cognitive decline with aging and the attack of Alzheimer’s disease.
So, if you want your child to know more than one language, it’s best to start at an early age, before they even start speaking their first language. It won’t confuse your child, and it could even help him/her improve other forms of cognition.

My name is Kate and I am from Germany. When I arrived in Ghana this March, I felt at once very welcomed and the nice tropical climate made me feel good. Ghana is a beautiful country where everything is colorful and the nature is amazing. But the best part is the friendly people. 1.________ You never feel uncomfortable or lost.
The work I was doing for VPWA(Volunteer Partnerships for West Africa) was mainly writing a proposal to raise funds for the Women’s Shelter Project. At the beginning I wished to work a bit more directly with local people to get to know the Ghanaian culture even more. 2.________ This is because even if you don’t work directly with locals, you can get many other chances to make some Ghanaian friends if you are open?minded and outgoing.
3.________ Having dinner with them every evening, going out for a drink and watching movies outside the apartment were our daily pleasant routines after work.
One of the favorite parts of my trip to Ghana was the travelling. I traveled almost every weekend. This was possible because there were many volunteers when I arrived, so it was easy to find someone who also wanted to travel to the same places together with me. It is also easy to travel in Ghana alone. And you really should travel. 4.________
My stay with VPWA was really an unforgettable experience. 5.________ And among many other things I will miss is the music played everywhere. Besides, I will never forget the food, especially Red Red (a bean dish) with fried plantains(大蕉).
A.So I just jumped in and did it.
B.I enjoyed every minute I spent there.
C.Everyone is so helpful and welcoming.
D.Be prepared that you might feel sick at times.
E.But in the end I was quite satisfied with my work.
F.This is a piece of advice I can give future volunteers.
G.Living with all the other volunteers was really relaxed.

Ecuador is beautiful in its landscapes, people and culture.The diversity of life in the hills at the equator is something you must experience to appreciate.The perfect weather was a nice bonus, and most days settle at a comfortable but not too hot temperature.The cities are worth seeing, but sometimes not quite safe for tourists lacking proper precautions(预防措施).I was luckily never robbed, but it was prevalent among people I ran into. So protect your valuables!
From the city, La Hesperia is about a three?hour bus ride across the amazing Andean countryside and a one?hour hike up from the road.It is far from civilization, but the reception is still not too bad.The reserve is altogether a protected area, a mostly self?sustaining farm, a local school, and a great learning experience for international conservationists like you or me.The volunteer house was very comfortable and open, with views of pure nature that I still miss.After a hard working day and a cold shower, I would always be overwhelmed by the sounds of the forest at night.
During the day, my tasks over the course of a month ranged from tree planting to trail maintenance(维护) and basic farm work including planting/harvesting crops, weeding, and working with animals.Regardless of the job, a machete(大刀) was the only tool I needed!At one point, I had to take the daily milk down the mountain with the most stubborn donkey ever.
Of course, there’s plenty of time for fun and meeting people.The reserve itself is full of things to do.Still, weekends are better spent exploring more of the country, which, to me, is quite different from my homeland.You can get recommendations from other volunteers and locals.All are great experiences I still tell stories about.

Samantha “Sammi” Janower
Samantha “Sammi” Janower, now 18 years old, was told 15 years ago that she had cancer. Chemotherapy(化疗) is the only option, so Sammi underwent(经历) 15 months of chemo at the age of three. Today, her dad says the cancer survivor is determined to help other kids avoid having to go through what she has gone through. To that end, in 2017 her team of cyclists, Team Samantha, raised more than $327,000 for the hospital that saved her life by riding 192 miles in the Pan?Mass Challenge (PMC), a bike?a?thon across their home state of Massachusetts. One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.
Annika Viswesh
Eighth?grade student Annika Viswesh, who attends the Stratford School in Sunnyvale, California, became legally blind when she was just one year old due to a condition known as amblyopia(弱视). Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide. So, she created the Oculus Patch Assistant which helps to simplify and improve the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment. She is now working with doctors at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to conduct field testing.
Jahkil Jackson
Jahkil Jackson, 9, of Chicago, founded Project I Am to help the homeless in his hometown. Within the last year, he’s collected and handed out more than 3,000 “Blessings(祝福) Bags” filled with toiletry things, socks, and food. A frequent public speaker, Jahkil challenges children to find their enthusiasm and use it to make a difference. “When I speak to other kids at schools and community centers, I always say, ‘Don’t wait until you are an adult to be great,’” Jahkil said. “‘You can be great now!’”

For Serena Au?ón?Chancellor, joining the Young Astronauts Club was more than an after?school hobby; it was the very beginning of her journey to space! When Serena was growing up in the 1980s, National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) launched(发射) space shuttles many times a year. One day as she watched a shuttle launch on TV, Serena’s father said, “You want to work for NASA? You need to be an engineer.” Serena’s father was an engineer himself. And he was right: half of all astronauts have studied engineering. From then on, Serena planned to be an engineer.
When she turned sixteen, Serena’s parents gave her a gift—a weeklong trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Her experiences at Space Camp—using science, math, and technology to practice tasks—showed Serena that her childhood dream was possible. In college, Serena earned a degree in electrical engineering. Afterward, she attended medical school and studied aerospace(航空航天) medicine.
In 2006, Serena was employed as a doctor at NASA, helping astronauts in the United States and Russia. She loved helping people through medicine, but she still wanted to be an astronaut, too. The__odds__were__against__her. Every year thousands of people apply to the astronaut training program and only ten to fifteen people are chosen. In 2009, Serena got the phone call she’d been hoping for since she was a kid: She was chosen to be an astronaut!
Since becoming an astronaut, Serena has learnt wilderness survival skills, searched for meteors(陨石) in Antarctica, and sailed in a submarine(潜水艇) in the deep ocean. But her greatest adventure has not been any of those. She has been in space since June 6, 2018, serving as a flight engineer in Expedition 56/57 to the International Space Station. Her dream of heading into space has come true! While in space, she has been conducting science experiments. Think of her the next time you look up at the stars!

Once a father and son went to a kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. 1.________ So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held and bought a kite for his son.
2.________Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we break it, it will be free and will go even higher. Can we break it?” So, the father cut the thread. 3.________ That made the son very happy.
But then, slowly, the kite started to come down.And, soon it fell down on the top of a building. 4.________ The kite had been cut loose of its thread so it could fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that after we cut the thread, the kite would be free to fly higher. But why did it fall down?”
The father explained, “Son, at the height of life,we often think that some things we are tied to are preventing us from going even higher. 5.________ It was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up. You helped the kite go higher in a proper way through the thread. And when we cut the thread, without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread, it fell down.”
The son realized his mistake.
A.His son started to fly the kite.
B.The kite started to go a little higher.
C.He asked his father to get him a kite.
D.The young son was surprised to see this.
E.The father and the son can’t fly kites at all.
F.The thread was not stopping the kite from going higher.
G.The kite was blown up so high by the wind that it could stay in the sky.

3.使用关系代词时应注意的问题
(1)关系代词只用 that 不用 which 的几种情况:
①当先行词为 all, everything, nothing, anything, little, much 等不定代词时。
◆You should hand in all that belongs to you.
你应该把属于你的所有东西交上来。
②当先行词被very, both, the only, all, every, no, any, little, much, some等修饰时。
◆The only thing that we can do is give you some advice.
我们唯一能做的就是给你一些建议。
③当先行词被形容词的最高级修饰时。

这是被用来对抗污染的最好的方法。
④当先行词被序数词修饰时。
◆It is the first American movie that I’ve ever seen.

⑤当先行词既包括人又包括物时。
◆They will never forget the things and persons that they’ve seen or heard of during their long journey.
他们将永远不会忘记在他们的长途旅行中见到或听说过的人和事。
(2)“介词+关系代词”结构中介词的确定:
有时从句中的介词可以提到关系代词之前,形成“介词+关系代词”结构,关系代词可用which,whose,whom,不可用that。其确定依据如下:
①根据后面动词和介词的搭配关系确定。
◆The person to whom I said hello just now is our manager.
刚才我打招呼的那个人就是我们的经理。
②根据前面的名词与介词的搭配关系确定。
◆There is no way in which it could be brought back to the earth.(in与way是习惯搭配)

这个聪明的男孩在墙上凿了一个孔,透过它他可以看到屋里发生的一切。
4.关系代词as的用法
as引导限制性定语从句的主要结构有:the same...as...;as...as...;such...as...;so...as...。主句中出现the same或as, such, so修饰先行词,需选择as作关系代词在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
◆Such machines as are used in our workshop are made in China.
像在我们车间使用的这种机器是中国制造的。
the same+名词+as...指的是同一类的;而the same+名词+that...指的是同一个。比较:
◆This is the same pen as I bought yesterday.
这种笔和我昨天买的笔一样(同样的但不是同一个)。
◆This is the same pen that I used yesterday.
这就是昨天我使用的那支笔(指的是同一个)。
关系副词
1.关系副词的基本用法
关系副词 先行词 在从句中充当的成分

◆(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)Here are three main reasons why I am the best choice for you. (原因状语)
以下是为什么我是你最好的选择的三个主要原因。
2.关系副词when, where及why可转换为“介词+which”
when,where可根据先行词、从句的谓语及句意来决定适当的介词,但是关系副词why只可转换为“for+which”。
◆I am looking forward to the day when/on which my daughter can read this book and know my feelings for her.
我正期盼着那一天的到来,那时我女儿可以读这本书,并且了解我对她的感情。
◆We know the place where/in which our teacher lives.

Johns Hopkins University just announced that the school will name a new research building after Henrietta Lacks, whose cancer cells changed medical research.
“Through her life and her cancer cells, Henrietta Lacks had an immeasurable effect on science and medicine that has touched countless lives around the world,” Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels said during the university’s 9th Henrietta Lacks Memorial Lecture in 2018.
The building will be located just north of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and will support programs that improve participation and partnership with members of the community in research that can benefit the community.
Lacks was a black woman who was born on a farm in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1920. In 1951, at 31 years old, the mother of five visited Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital complaining of stomach pain that later turned out to be cervical(子宫颈的) cancer. Her cancer cells were later used without her permission to create the first immortal(永生的) cell line, known as the HeLa cell line.
The HeLa cells were used to develop the first polio vaccine(小儿麻痹症疫苗) in 1952, and helped the study of human papillomavirus(HPV), which causes the cervical cancer that eventually killed Lacks.
Lacks and her story were relatively unknown until 2010 when reporter Rebecca Skloot published The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. In 2017, The New York Times best?selling book was made into a film titled The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne.
Lacks’ granddaughter, Jeri Lacks, and other family members attended the university’s announcement. “It is a proud day for the Lacks family. We have been working with Hopkins for many years now on events and projects that honor our grandmother,” Jeri Lacks said. “They are all meaningful, but this is the greatest honor.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。Johns Hopkins University计划用Henrietta Lacks的名字来命名他们即将建造的一座大楼,以纪念她对现代医学发展带来的深远影响。
1.Why will Johns Hopkins University name a building after Henrietta Lacks?
A.She did very important research.
B.She saved countless lives in person.
C.She once helped the university a lot.
D.She had a great influence on modern medicine.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段Johns Hopkins University just announced that...whose cancer cells changed medical research.以及第二段中的Through her life and her cancer cells...medicine that has touched countless lives around the world可知,Johns Hopkins University计划用Henrietta Lacks的名字来命名他们将要建造的一座大楼,以纪念她对现代医学发展所带来的影响。
2.What did researchers decide to do with Henrietta Lacks’ cancer cells?
A.Help her get better.
B.Earn money for her.
C.Put them to good use.
D.Completely destroy them.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的Her cancer cells were later used without her permission to create the first immortal(永生的) cell line, known as the HeLa cell line.及第五段的内容可知,研究者决定将这些细胞用于更多的医学研究,以发挥更好的作用。
3.What greatly helped the spread of Lacks’ story at first?
A.A film starring Oprah Winfrey.
B.The invention of the HeLa cells.
C.Sales of a book based on her story.
D.The announcement by the university.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Lacks and her story were relatively unknown until 2010 when reporter Rebecca Skloot published The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.可知,Rebecca Skloot出版的有关Henrietta Lacks的书让她的故事被大众所熟知。
4.What was the reaction of Lacks’ family members toward the announcement?
A.They expected it.
B.They seemed uninterested.
C.They were a bit embarrassed.
D.They were quite excited about it.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的It is a proud day for the Lacks family.以及They are all meaningful, but this is the greatest honor.可推断,Lacks的家人对学校将一所新建筑命名为Henrietta Lacks的消息感到很兴奋。
