A
Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
It’s no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak(皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season(旺季), so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is usually very crowded(拥挤的) with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is of good value in September, but even better a month later.
Aeolian Islands, Italy
Sicily’s beautiful seven islands often attract(吸引) Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don’t miss Panarea,where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.
St Tropez, France
St Tropez in high season is full, but at the end of August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It’s also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse’s Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay(海湾) in St Maxime.

Over the years, hundreds, if not thousands, of priceless cultural and historical artifacts(手工艺品) have been stolen. They usually end up in the hands of greedy collectors or museums. Though most of these stolen artifacts remain lost, many have been recovered and returned to their rightful homes.
Christopher Columbus is considered the most famous explorer in history. In 1493, he wrote an eight-page letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, who supported his historic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The letter, which was written in Latin, told Columbus’ first impressions of Cuba and Hispaniola.
The historic letter was stolen from a library in Florence, Italy, in 1950. There was an excellent copy where the original letter was placed, so the staff didn’t notice that the real document was stolen and none of the public knew that. The priceless artifact appeared again in 1990 when it was bought by a collector in Switzerland. In 1992, it was sold in New York for $400,000. In 2004, it landed in the U.S.Library of Congress. It was only in 2016 that the 500-year-old document was returned to Italy.
In 2012, several figurines(小雕像) were caught at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The priceless artifacts were displayed in the Nigerian National Museum, but they mysteriously disappeared later.
The 2,000-year-old figurines were created by the Nok people, an ancient culture that lived in Nigeria more than 2,000 years ago. What a surprise it is to find them again!“One feature of the recovered figurines is that each one has a distinctive(与众不同的) face.” Habib Baba Habu, who served as Nigeria’s consul general during the time of the recovery, explained that this was typical of Nok sculpture. According to him, Nok artists used the figurines to describe their riding horses or donkeys or using farming tools.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。近年来有很多珍贵的历史文物被盗,通过努力也追回了一些,本文介绍了其中两件。

A.Because it was replaced by a copy.
B.Because it was put at a hidden place.
C.Because the staff were busy with other things.
D.Because the staff hid the facts from the public.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的There was an excellent copy where the original letter was placed, so the staff didn’t notice that the real document was stolen and none of the public knew that.可知,那封信被另一封高仿信取代了,所以没有人发现它被盗了。

A.They helped set up Nigeria.
B.They stole some priceless artifacts.
C.They lived in Nigeria a thousand years ago.

琥珀屋(Amber Room)位于圣彼得堡叶卡捷琳娜宫内,是一间由琥珀和黄金装饰而成的精致奢华大厅,从18世纪到20世纪曾被称作“世界第八大奇迹”。第二次世界大战中,琥珀屋被德军占据、拆装运回德国;二战结束后离奇失踪。
The True Fate of the Amber Room
Amber was once much more valuable than gold. Amber and gold were so expensive because they had to be fished out of the Baltic sea.
In 1701, one of the world’s greatest treasures, constructed with great amber designs, was sent as a gift to Peter the Great of Russia by Frederick Ⅰ of Prussia. Those panels(嵌板) became a part of the legendary Amber Room under the rule of Catherine the Great of Russia. She had them installed in her palace near St Petersburg. Such was the beauty and fame that it was even once considered the Eighth Wonder of the World.
The Amber Room remained there until the Second World War. When the Nazi armies attacked the Soviet Union and advanced towards major cities, Russian curators(管理人) were ordered to pack up millions of their precious objects and send them for
safekeeping elsewhere. But the Amber Room was too fragile and complex to take apart so they hid it. But the Nazis did find it and took them to k?nigsberg Castle in the German town. Unfortunately, with time going by, no one has seen the Amber Room ever since.
Many people have spent fortunes trying to find it and many are still at it. Both the Soviet Union and Germany have accused each other of stealing each other’s art treasures. So what did happen to the Amber Room? It is a pity that no one has had the answer until now.
What is really left of the Amber Room are 28 small pieces which fell off the walls before the Second World War and have been kept stuck on a piece of cardboard. The Soviet Union has built a replica(复制品) which was open to the public in 2003. But that will not stop many teams from looking for the true Amber Room.

琥珀,是一种透明的生物化石,是松柏科、豆科、南洋杉科等植物的树脂滴落,掩埋在地下千万年,在压力和热力的作用下石化形成。琥珀的硬度低,质地轻、涩、湿润,有宝石般的光泽与晶莹度。琥珀的另一个特征是含有特别丰富的内含物。琥珀的颜色种类多而富有变化,以黄色最普遍,也有红色、绿色和极为罕见的蓝色。琥珀的形状多种多样,表面常保留着当初树脂流动时产生的纹路,内部经常可见气泡及古老昆虫、动物或植物碎屑。
IN SEARCH OF①THE AMBER ROOM
Frederick William Ⅰ, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing② history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected③ had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey④. The design⑤ of the room was in the fancy⑥ style⑦ popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated⑧ with gold and jewels⑨, which took the country’s best artistsB10 about ten years to make.
◆本句是一个主从复合句。主句的主语是Frederick William Ⅰ, the King of Prussia是Frederick William Ⅰ的同位语,主句的谓语部分是could never have imagined;
could never have done绝不可能做过(用于对过去情况的否定推测)。that...history是that引导的宾语从句,作imagined的宾语。
◆which在此引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Amber Room。该定语从句中还包含一个because引导的原因状语从句。
◆which was selected是which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词The amber。此处which指物,并在从句中作主语,可以换成that。
◆本句是一个主从复合句,主句中过去分词短语decorated with gold and jewels作后置定语,修饰a treasure。which引导非限制性定语从句。
In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William Ⅰ, to whom the amber room belonged?, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return?, the Czar sent him a troop? of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as? a small reception? hall for important visitors.
◆本句是一个主从复合句,其中Frederick William Ⅰ是the next King of Prussia的同位语。whom引导了一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Frederick William Ⅰ。介词to与从句的谓语动词belonged搭配,to也可置于belonged之后。
Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders? of the world, it is now missing?.
◆本句是一个主从复合句。主句中的had the Amber Room moved是“have sth. done”结构,该结构中sth.与do之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a palace。
◆the way she wanted在句中作状语,其中she wanted为定语从句,修饰先行词the way,省略了关系词that或in which。
◆although在此引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然,尽管”。
In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.This was a time when the two countries were at war?. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove? some furniture? and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than( two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden( boxes. There is no doubt( that the boxes were then put on a train for K?nigsberg , which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains( a mystery(.
◆This was a time when...“这是一段……的时间”。when在此为关系副词,引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time,此处when相当于at/during which。
◆There is no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”,that在此引导同位语从句;该同位语从句中又含有which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词K?nigsberg。
◆what在此引导主语从句,并在从句中作主语。
Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former( Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.
◆By studying...Amber Room是由By构成的介词短语,在句中作方式状语。made the new one look like the old one是“make sb./sth. do sth.”结构,意为“使某人/某物做某事”,该结构中不带to的动词不定式作宾补。
寻找琥珀屋
普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋,之所以有这个名字是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。被选用的琥珀色彩像蜂蜜一样呈黄褐色,很漂亮。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的奇特风格。它也是一件用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批国家最优秀的艺术家们用了大约十年的时间才将其完成。
事实上,这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿而设计(制作)的。然而,下一位普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年,他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约4米,被用作小型接待厅来接待重要来宾。
后来,叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到她在圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。她让她的艺术家们给琥珀屋添加了更多细节。在1770年,琥珀屋按照她想要的方式完成了。有近600根蜡烛来照亮这个屋子,屋子里面的镜子和图画像金子一样闪闪发光。不幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一大奇迹,但现在已经找不到它了。
在1941年9月,纳粹军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是一个两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前,俄罗斯人能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术品搬走。然而,一些纳粹分子秘密地把整个琥珀屋偷走了。在不到两天的时间里,(琥珀屋被拆卸成)10万个部件装进了27个木箱里。毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,它是当时德国在波罗的海海边的一个城市。从那以后,琥珀屋的去处便成了一个谜。
最近,俄国人和德国人在夏宫建造了一个新的琥珀屋。通过研究以前的琥珀屋的旧照片,他们使新的琥珀屋看上去跟以前的琥珀屋很像。在2003年,圣彼得堡人用它来庆祝该市建立300周年。

Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
It’s no secret that summers on the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia offer clear blue waters for swimming, beautiful sunsets, historic buildings and picture-perfect beaches. The best way to see the Dalmatian Coast is from your own sea kayak(皮划艇). But the temperature is far too high to be comfortable in the high season(旺季), so you need to wait until it drops but the sea is still warm.

Mykonos is usually very crowded(拥挤的) with visitors in July and August, but the Greek meltemi winds can be a real problem in high summer. Later in the season, they are much calmer and you can spend your time lying on the beach without being angry with the sand. The best address is the Hotel Belvedere, but the cheapest hotel is the Grace Mykonos, which is of good value in September, but even better a month later.
Aeolian Islands, Italy
Sicily’s beautiful seven islands often attract(吸引) Oscar-winners like Robert De Niro and Russell Crowe. September is the time to visit the Aeolian Islands, as the tourists have gone. Don’t miss Panarea,where the only way of getting around is on foot, and make sure you include the greenest island, Salina.
St Tropez, France
St Tropez in high season is full, but at the end of August, it soon returns to being the French Provencal fishing town of the 1960s. You can walk through its streets in peace and drop into its popular stores without the crowds. It’s also much easier to get a meal at places such as Alain Ducasse’s Spoon, or to drop into bars like Nikki Beach for a drink. The best places to stay are Hotel La Ponche or Le Beauvallon, a 10-minute boat ride across the bay(海湾) in St Maxime.

Over the years, hundreds, if not thousands, of priceless cultural and historical artifacts(手工艺品) have been stolen. They usually end up in the hands of greedy collectors or museums. Though most of these stolen artifacts remain lost, many have been recovered and returned to their rightful homes.
Christopher Columbus is considered the most famous explorer in history. In 1493, he wrote an eight-page letter to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, who supported his historic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The letter, which was written in Latin, told Columbus’ first impressions of Cuba and Hispaniola.
The historic letter was stolen from a library in Florence, Italy, in 1950. There was an excellent copy where the original letter was placed, so the staff didn’t notice that the real document was stolen and none of the public knew that. The priceless artifact appeared again in 1990 when it was bought by a collector in Switzerland. In 1992, it was sold in New York for $400,000. In 2004, it landed in the U.S.Library of Congress. It was only in 2016 that the 500-year-old document was returned to Italy.
In 2012, several figurines(小雕像) were caught at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The priceless artifacts were displayed in the Nigerian National Museum, but they mysteriously disappeared later.
The 2,000-year-old figurines were created by the Nok people, an ancient culture that lived in Nigeria more than 2,000 years ago. What a surprise it is to find them again!“One feature of the recovered figurines is that each one has a distinctive(与众不同的) face.” Habib Baba Habu, who served as Nigeria’s consul general during the time of the recovery, explained that this was typical of Nok sculpture. According to him, Nok artists used the figurines to describe their riding horses or donkeys or using farming tools.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。近年来有很多珍贵的历史文物被盗,通过努力也追回了一些,本文介绍了其中两件。

C.The process of Columbus’ voyage.
D.The reasons for Columbus’ being famous.

A.Because it was replaced by a copy.
B.Because it was put at a hidden place.
C.Because the staff were busy with other things.
D.Because the staff hid the facts from the public.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的There was an excellent copy where the original letter was placed, so the staff didn’t notice that the real document was stolen and none of the public knew that.可知,那封信被另一封高仿信取代了,所以没有人发现它被盗了。
8.What can we know about Nok people?
A.They helped set up Nigeria.
B.They stole some priceless artifacts.
C.They lived in Nigeria a thousand years ago.

Before I had my child, I thought I was going to let her fall and fail and make mistakes and learn from them. But from the moment she was born, without really realizing it, I’ve been preventing her from hearing her own inner voice that tells her to “Go for it.” Every time she tried to take a bigger step in the playground, I was in fear. Every time she got curious and ran off to see something, I’d yell,“Watch out.” “Slow down.” “Be careful.”Although I hate parenting terms, I see now that I’ve been a helicopter parent.
The more I started watching her at play, the more I started to hear my words echoing(回荡) back at me:“Watch out.”“Slow down.”“Be careful.”
My husband taught her to ride a bike and he said,“Stay straight, look ahead, and then you can do it.” It suddenly hit me that I was always telling her what not to do.I’m not saying I didn’t offer encouragement, or love her success, but I may have reduced the happiness brought by achievements because I was too worried to enjoy the moment and celebrate it with her.
I really came to know all this recently during a hike with friends and their particularly adventurous sons. The boys were practically flying down the ramp(斜坡) and I felt myself start to warn my child to slow down. They were running down hills, and my mouth opened to ask her to be careful again. She was listening to her voice, trusting herself to take a chance, and I was about to ruin it. I smiled and watched with pride as she began to really enjoy her time, climbing and moving with ease.

Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts.Archaeological(考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of(摆脱) the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand.They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors(剪刀) or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past, paper cuts were usually made only by women and girls. They used scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms, mice, fighting roosters(公鸡) and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.

Before I had my child, I thought I was going to let her fall and fail and make mistakes and learn from them. But from the moment she was born, without really realizing it, I’ve been preventing her from hearing her own inner voice that tells her to “Go for it.” Every time she tried to take a bigger step in the playground, I was in fear. Every time she got curious and ran off to see something, I’d yell,“Watch out.” “Slow down.” “Be careful.”Although I hate parenting terms, I see now that I’ve been a helicopter parent.
The more I started watching her at play, the more I started to hear my words echoing(回荡) back at me:“Watch out.”“Slow down.”“Be careful.”
My husband taught her to ride a bike and he said,“Stay straight, look ahead, and then you can do it.” It suddenly hit me that I was always telling her what not to do.I’m not saying I didn’t offer encouragement, or love her success, but I may have reduced the happiness brought by achievements because I was too worried to enjoy the moment and celebrate it with her.
I really came to know all this recently during a hike with friends and their particularly adventurous sons. The boys were practically flying down the ramp(斜坡) and I felt myself start to warn my child to slow down. They were running down hills, and my mouth opened to ask her to be careful again. She was listening to her voice, trusting herself to take a chance, and I was about to ruin it. I smiled and watched with pride as she began to really enjoy her time, climbing and moving with ease.

Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular folk arts.Archaeological(考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.
Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of(摆脱) the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.
Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand.They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors(剪刀) or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past, paper cuts were usually made only by women and girls. They used scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms, mice, fighting roosters(公鸡) and rabbits eating carrots.
This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.

Diana Ross, American pop singer and actress, achieved international popularity, first as the leader singer of the Supremes and later as a solo(独唱的) artist. Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the second of six children of Fred and Ernestine Ross, who lived in one of Detroit’s poor districts. Because her family were closely connected with each other, Ross almost didn’t notice the difficult life as she grew up.
Ross’ professional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract(合同) with Motown late the following year. The group produced many number-one hit singles(热门单曲) on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100, including Baby Love, Stop! In the Name of Love and Someday We’ll Be Together. In 1967, the group was renamed Diana Ross and the Supremes, foreshadowing(预示) Ross’ solo career, which she started in 1970.
Beginning with Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from her first solo album, Ross enjoyed more than ten years of great success with her hit singles. Ross also developed a film-acting career in the 1970s, beginning with a starring role as blues singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and continuing with Mahogany, for which she also recorded the theme song Do You Know Where You’re Going To.
However, in the mid-1980s, Ross saw her career begin to wane. Most of her albums were re-recordings of earlier material. In 2006, she produced I Love You, a collection of love songs by many artists, and she started an energetic concert tour the following year to make the album publicly known. Although you can’t find her songs on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100 now, Ross remains popular as one of the leading musical performers of all time.

More and more people around the world are getting tattoos(文身). In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos. A third of all Americans between 18 and 25 have a tattoo.In Britain a fifth of all adults are tattooed.Tattooing has become an important industry as well.

Today, tattoos are widely accepted in society. That hasn’t always been the case.Tattoos used to be connected with criminals(罪犯), lower class people or certain groups like sailors and motorcycle gangs. While tattooing was once only for men, more and more women are now getting tattoos.
Tattooing goes way back in history.In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. In Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were.
Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just don’t realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing yourself usually depends on how large the tattoo is or how complex(复杂的) it is. Prices are usually from a hundred to over a thousand dollars.

A FACT OR AN OPINION?
What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No.A fact is anything that can be proved①.For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world.This is a fact.
◆此句中包含that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词something,that在从句中作believe的宾语。先行词为不定代词something,anything等时,关系代词只能用that,不能用which。
◆在“it can be proved that...the world”中,it为形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的从句。
Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence② in a trial③. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.
◆what在此引导表语从句,并在表语从句中作主语。
In a trial, a judge④ must decide which eyewitnesses⑤ to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/She only cares about⑥ whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than⑦ opinions.This kind of information is called evidence.
◆本句中and连接两个并列的“特殊疑问词+to do”结构,作decide的宾语,相当于宾语从句。
◆or连接了由what和where引导的两个从句,作动词consider的并列宾语,其语序均为陈述语序。
◆此句为主从复合句。whether引导宾语从句,从句作主句谓语cares about的宾语;在whether引导的宾语从句中又含有一个which引导的非限制性定语从句,对先行词information起补充说明的作用,which在定语从句中作主语。
事实还是看法?
什么是事实?是人们相信的某一件事吗?不。事实是能够被证实的任何事情。举例来说,中国比世界上任何其他国家的人口都多,这就可以被证实,这就是事实。
那么,什么是看法?看法就是某人认为是真实的但未经证实的东西。因此,在审判中看法并不是有说服力的证据。比如,如果你说“猫是比狗更好的宠物”,这就是一种看法。这种看法可能是对的,但是它难以被证实。一些人可能不同意这种看法,但是他们也不能证明他们是正确的。
在审判中,法官必须断定哪些目击者(的话)可以相信,哪些目击者(的话)不可以相信。法官并不考虑目击者的长相如何,也不考虑那个人住在哪里或在哪里工作。他/她只关心目击者是否提供了真实的信息,这些信息必须是事实,而不是看法。这种信息叫作证据。
evidence n.[U,C]证据;根据;证明
(教材P5)So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial.
因此,在审判中看法并不是有说服力的证据。
(1)There is some evidence that... 有证据证明……

A
Diana Ross, American pop singer and actress, achieved international popularity, first as the leader singer of the Supremes and later as a solo(独唱的) artist. Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the second of six children of Fred and Ernestine Ross, who lived in one of Detroit’s poor districts. Because her family were closely connected with each other, Ross almost didn’t notice the difficult life as she grew up.
Ross’ professional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract(合同) with Motown late the following year. The group produced many number-one hit singles(热门单曲) on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100, including Baby Love, Stop! In the Name of Love and Someday We’ll Be Together. In 1967, the group was renamed Diana Ross and the Supremes, foreshadowing(预示) Ross’ solo career, which she started in 1970.
Beginning with Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from her first solo album, Ross enjoyed more than ten years of great success with her hit singles. Ross also developed a film-acting career in the 1970s, beginning with a starring role as blues singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and continuing with Mahogany, for which she also recorded the theme song Do You Know Where You’re Going To.
However, in the mid-1980s, Ross saw her career begin to wane. Most of her albums were re-recordings of earlier material. In 2006, she produced I Love You, a collection of love songs by many artists, and she started an energetic concert tour the following year to make the album publicly known. Although you can’t find her songs on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100 now, Ross remains popular as one of the leading musical performers of all time.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了美国流行歌手和演员Diana Ross 自出道以来在演艺事业上的发展和成就。
1.According to the passage, the Supremes________.
A.had to break up in 1967
B.used to be named the Primettes
C.was made up of Ross and her classmates
D.signed a contract with Motown in 1959
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的Ross’ pro-fessional career began in 1959, when she joined several neighborhood friends to form the Primettes. The group was renamed the Supremes after signing a recording contract(合同) with Motown late the following year.可知,Diana Ross和几个朋友组成的乐团最初的名字是the Primettes。

4.What does the underlined word “wane” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Develop faster.
B.End quickly.
C.Start again.
D.Become weaker.
D 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的内容可知,在20世纪80年代中期,Diana Ross发现自己的歌唱事业开始衰弱,故wane意为“衰弱,减退”。

More and more people around the world are getting tattoos(文身). In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos. A third of all Americans between 18 and 25 have a tattoo.In Britain a fifth of all adults are tattooed.Tattooing has become an important industry as well. Today, there are more than 50,000 tattoo artists in the U.S. alone.
Even famous people such as Angelina Jolie and David Beckham have some kind of tattoo on their bodies. According to researchers many people tattoo themselves as a sign of individuality(个性).They want to express themselves and show others who they are. Other forms of body art are also on the rise.
Today, tattoos are widely accepted in society. That hasn’t always been the case.Tattoos used to be connected with criminals(罪犯), lower class people or certain groups like sailors and motorcycle gangs. While tattooing was once only for men, more and more women are now getting tattoos.
Tattooing goes way back in history.In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. In Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were.
Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just don’t realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing yourself usually depends on how large the tattoo is or how complex(复杂的) it is. Prices are usually from a hundred to over a thousand dollars.

定语从句的种类
根据定语从句与先行词之间关系的紧密程度,我们将定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两种。
1.限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语,用于修饰和限定先行词。如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切,两者之间不用逗号分开;关系代词在从句中作宾语时可以省略。引导限制性定语从句的关系代词有who, whom, whose, that, which, as;关系副词有where, when, why。
◆This is the computer (that/which) he bought for his son yesterday.
这是他昨天为儿子买的电脑。
◆The woman who/that survived the earthquake is Amy’s English teacher.
在地震中幸存的那个女人是埃米的英语老师。
◆I live next door to a couple whose children often make a lot of noise.
我隔壁住着一对夫妇, 他们的孩子经常吵闹。
2.非限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句和主句的关系不是十分密切,只是对先行词或主句作些附加说明,如果去掉,主句的意思仍然完整。这种从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开。引导非限制性定语从句的关系词与引导限制性定语从句的关系词略有不同。除that和why不能引导非限制性定语从句外,其他都可以。
◆He is English, which I know from his accent.
他是英国人,那是我通过他的口音知道的。
◆I heard a terrible noise, which brought my heart into my mouth.
我听到了一个可怕的声音,这使我非常害怕。

限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的用法比较

这就是那个被老板惩罚的人。(限制性定语从句)
◆The project, which lasted three years, cost no less than $1 billion.
这个工程历时三年,耗资多达十亿美元。(非限制性定语从句)
2.先行词不同
限制性定语从句的先行词只能是一个名词或代词,而非限制性定语从句的先行词可以是一个词,也可以是整个主句。试比较:
◆This is the best novel that I have ever read.
这是我曾经看过的最好的小说。(限制性定语从句,先行词是novel)
◆The novel, which I read last night, is very interesting.
我昨天晚上看过那部小说了,它非常有意思。(非限制性定语从句,先行词为novel)
◆The novel is very interesting, which makes me very excited.
那部小说很有意思,这让我很兴奋。(非限制性定语从句,which指代前面整句话的内容)
3.关系词的使用情况不同
(1)that, why不可用于引导非限制性定语从句,指物时要用which代替that, for which代替why
◆Most people didn’t vote for him, which disappointed him.
大多数人没有投票支持他,这使他感到失望。
◆I have told them the reason, for which I changed my mind.
我已经告诉了他们我改变主意的原因。
(2)关系代词替代情况不同

◆This is the man (whom/who/that) we are talking about.
这就是我们正在谈论的那个人。(限制性定语从句)
◆The old woman has three sons, whom she is proud of.
这位老妇人有三个引以为豪的儿子。(非限制性定语从句)

◆She has a younger brother, who is an English teacher.
她有一个弟弟,他是一名英语老师。
(3)关系代词省略情况不同
关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语时可省略,而非限制性定语从句的所有关系代词均不可省略。

这是我几天前看过的一部好影片。(限制性定语从句)
◆The summer holiday, which we’re looking forward to, is drawing near.

Raccoons are smaller relatives of bears. They are native to North America, but they can also be found in Asia and Europe. Raccoons live in wooded areas close to water, but they can be often found near urban areas. There are about 7 different species of raccoons. Pygmy raccoon is the only endangered species.
Raccoons usually reach 40 to 70cm in length and weigh between 5-26kg. Raccoons that live in colder climates are larger and heavier. They have grayish fur, black masks around eyes and long tails covered with black and brown bands. Because of their tails, they are also called “ringtail”.
Raccoons__are__omnivores. They like to eat insects, eggs, small mammals, fruit, berries, garbage, and so on. Raccoon’s hands look like human’s. They each have five fingers and are used to collect food, open shells, door or trash cans. Raccoons often place food in water before they start to eat it. They have highly sensitive sense of touch and water increases their sensitivity even more. By touching the food, they get better insight about things they will eat.
They are easily adaptable(适应的) to various environments. They can live in hollow(中空的) trees equally happily like they can in useless cars. Raccoons live on their own and hunt at night. They don’t hibernate(冬眠), but they spend the coldest days of winters in their holes.
Mating(交配) season takes place from January to mid March. Two months later, female will give birth to 3-4 babies. Their tails don’t have bands, and the mask around eyes is still missing. Mother is very protective and she will teach them how to survive and what to eat as they become ready to leave the hole. Raccoons usually can live only 1.8 to 3.1 years in the wild, but they can live up to 20 years at a zoo.
Raccoons can pass rabies, a kind of disease, to home-raised animals and people, which is very dangerous. What’s more, their waste often has roundworms.

1.amazing 解析:考查形容词。此处用来修饰物,意为令人惊奇的,故填amazing。

3.its 解析:考查代词。因为后面跟名词,故用其形容词性物主代词,故填its。
4.reflects 解析:考查主谓一致。主语是that,指代a hollow transparent tube(中空透明管),因此谓语动词用单数形式,故填reflects。
5.places 解析:考查名词的数。此处泛指“寒冷的地方”,因为place是可数名词,故填places。
6.to 解析:考查固定搭配。thanks to是固定搭配,意为“多亏;由于”,故填to。

Recently__our__English__Club__has__had__a__discussion__about__online__shopping. We had different opinions.
Some people are in favour of online shopping. They think online shopping is very convenient and time-saving. It allows people to buy all kinds of things without leaving their homes. Besides,people can compare prices among different online shops before making decisions.
However, others think differently.They think online shopping isn’t as reliable as traditional shopping. People can’t touch or try the things they want to buy. They may get unsuitable things or even get cheated by receiving goods of poor quality.
In my opinion, online shopping has more advantages than disadvantages. It’s quite convenient and time-saving as long as people think carefully before placing orders.

How to Protect Traditional Chinese Culture?
A heated discussion was held in my class recently in order to encourage us students to protect traditional Chinese culture.
When it comes to how to protect traditional Chinese culture, the students hold different points of view. Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional culture so that we can have fun during traditional Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held from time to time, which can provide more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practise calligraphy.
Personally, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect traditional Chinese culture. Otherwise we will regret one day.

We_had_a_discussion_about_whether_Yuanmingyuan_Park_should_be_reconstructed_in_English_class_yesterday,_and_opinions_are_divided_on_the_question.
60% of the students are against the idea of reconstructing Yuanmingyuan Park. They believe what it is like now can serve as the best material to educate people. Rebuilding it would not only cost a large amount of money, but also probably lead to people forgetting its history.
On the other hand, 40% think that Yuanmingyuan Park should be reconstructed because it will become more attractive after being rebuilt,and many relics will break down and even disappear for lack of protection. Besides, they think people can learn more about Chinese culture by visiting the new Yuanmingyuan Park.

Raccoons are smaller relatives of bears. They are native to North America, but they can also be found in Asia and Europe. Raccoons live in wooded areas close to water, but they can be often found near urban areas. There are about 7 different species of raccoons. Pygmy raccoon is the only endangered species.
Raccoons usually reach 40 to 70cm in length and weigh between 5-26kg. Raccoons that live in colder climates are larger and heavier. They have grayish fur, black masks around eyes and long tails covered with black and brown bands. Because of their tails, they are also called “ringtail”.
Raccoons__are__omnivores. They like to eat insects, eggs, small mammals, fruit, berries, garbage, and so on. Raccoon’s hands look like human’s. They each have five fingers and are used to collect food, open shells, door or trash cans. Raccoons often place food in water before they start to eat it. They have highly sensitive sense of touch and water increases their sensitivity even more. By touching the food, they get better insight about things they will eat.
They are easily adaptable(适应的) to various environments. They can live in hollow(中空的) trees equally happily like they can in useless cars. Raccoons live on their own and hunt at night. They don’t hibernate(冬眠), but they spend the coldest days of winters in their holes.
Mating(交配) season takes place from January to mid March. Two months later, female will give birth to 3-4 babies. Their tails don’t have bands, and the mask around eyes is still missing. Mother is very protective and she will teach them how to survive and what to eat as they become ready to leave the hole. Raccoons usually can live only 1.8 to 3.1 years in the wild, but they can live up to 20 years at a zoo.
Raccoons can pass rabies, a kind of disease, to home-raised animals and people, which is very dangerous. What’s more, their waste often has roundworms.

Recently__our__English__Club__has__had__a__discussion__about__online__shopping. We had different opinions.
Some people are in favour of online shopping. They think online shopping is very convenient and time-saving. It
allows people to buy all kinds of things without leaving their homes. Besides,people can compare prices among different online shops before making decisions.
However, others think differently.They think online shopping isn’t as reliable as traditional shopping. People can’t touch or try the things they want to buy. They may get unsuitable things or even get cheated by receiving goods of poor quality.
In my opinion, online shopping has more advantages than disadvantages. It’s quite convenient and time-saving as long as people think carefully before placing orders.
