知识梳理:
【短语学习】
1. be able to do能够做某事
I work in the library and I am also able to read books there.
我在图书馆工作,而且在那里我还能读到一些书。
be able to do表示“能够做某事”,之前我们学习过有类似含义的单词还有can,二者的区别:can只能用于一般现在时和一般过去时(could);而be able to可以用于各种时态。
You will be able to use it very well.
She will be able to drive a car soon.
They can finish it on time.
翻译句子:
我希望你能参加这个聚会。
答案:I hope you will be able to join the party.
思路分析:be able to和将来时的结合。
2. instead of替代
If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won’t have time to study.
如果你不去做作业,而是做这些其他方面的事情,你就没有时间去学习了。
instead of后面所能跟随的词性有若干种。
Can you go there instead of me?
Give me this instead of that.
The boy has been playing all afternoon instead of getting on with his study.
Things are now better instead of worse.
They walked slowly instead of quickly.
翻译句子:
我们今天不吃肉吃蔬菜好吗?
答案:Shall we have vegetables instead of meat today?
思路分析:这里instead of所起到的大致就是连接作用。
3. use … for用于
He uses the computer for his work.
他将电脑用于他的工作。
和这种用法类似的有use … to。
He uses it to work.
注意:两种都表示某件东西用于做某事。但use…to后加动原;use…for后加名词或动名词。
We use wood to make paper.
We use wood for making paper.
而use … as则表示把……当作……
We use gas as fuel.
从use我们还可以引申出两个比较容易混淆的词组,即used to do和be used to doing;
前者表示过去常常做某事,后者表示习惯于做某事。
He used to smoke a lot.
He is used to living here by himself.
请用动词适当形式填空:
1. They used to __________ (go) to work on foot.
2. She got used to ___________ (get) up early after she came here.
答案:go, getting
思路分析:前者表示过去常常做,后者表示习惯于。
4. take off拔掉,删除,卸载
We took it off.
我们把它删除了。
take off还有两种解释,可以翻译为“起飞”或“脱衣服”。
The plane is taking off.
If you feel hot, you can take off the coat.
在学习的过程中,我们需要及时总结这种一词多义的情况。
翻译句子:
当飞碟起飞的时候,那个男孩在干什么?
答案:What was the boy doing when the UFO took off?
思路分析:注意时间状语从句的用法。
5. no longer不再……
相当于not…any longer。
He could no longer find the documents anywhere!
他再也找不到他的文件了。
You are no longer a small child.
=You are not a small child any longer.
你不再是一个小孩子了。
注意no longer和not…any longer之间的转换。
He no longer lives here.
He doesn’t live here any longer.
注意到any longer本身还需要添加一个not才能构成否定含义,而no longer则没有这个必要。
She will go there no longer.
She will not go there any longer.
翻译句子:
他们已经不再年轻了。
答案:They are not young any longer.
They are no longer young.
思路分析:no longer和not…any longer两种翻译方法,需要注意。
6. be angry with somebody生某人的气
I did not want him to be angry with me.
我不想让他生我的气。
be angry后面可以有若干种情况:
be angry with somebody生某人的气
be angry at something因某人的言行而生气
be angry about something多指针对某事生气
翻译句子:
老师因为他所说的话而生气。
答案:The teacher was angry at what he said.
思路分析:此处针对言行,用at。
7. tell somebody the truth告诉某人真相
If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you.
如果你现在告诉他真相,他会生你的气。
tell, talk, speak和say这四个词的区分大致如下:
tell表示“告诉、讲诉”,如:tell somebody to do something, tell a story
talk表示“谈话”,如:talk about, talk to, talk with, have a talk
speak +语言, speak to
say后跟说话内容,say +从句
请用tell, talk, speak和say填空:
1. Please _____________ him to hand in the papers.
2. She ____________ that they were late for school.
3. She can _____________ German.
4. My teacher wants to have a _____________ with my parents.
答案:tell, said, speak, talk
思路分析:注意这些搭配的用法。
8. at least至少
But at least you will show that you are honest.
但是至少你能够证明你是诚实的。
at least表示“至少”,反义词组是at most。
We have at least two bottles of water in the fridge.
We have at most two bottles of water in the fridge.
翻译句子:
至少你会证明你有多么诚实。
答案:At least you will prove how honest you are.
思路分析:注意后面how引导的句子。
9. after all毕竟
After all, your parents gave you that money.
毕竟是你父母给你的钱。
after all在写作过程中使用频率较高。翻译为“毕竟”。
After all, she is your friend, so you should talk to her.
翻译句子:

一、阅读理解
You need 3D glasses to see some films. I think it is easy to make your own 3D glasses instead of buying them.
There are two ways to make 3D glasses. You can decide which way would be easier for you.
The first way seems like the cheaper way but the things needed to make the glasses this way may not be things laying around the house. First print out a template (模板) for the glasses at http://paperproject.org/PDF_files/3dglasses.pdf.
After you cut out the template, cut your cellophane (玻璃纸) to fit the holes in the glasses. Make sure you place the red cellophane on the left eye and the blue on the right. You can either stick or tape the cellophane in place. You are now ready to use your glasses.
To learn more about why your eyes see different colors, read this article: http://nzphoto.tripod.com/sterea/anaglyphs.htm#redcyan.
To learn some more cool things about your eyes, check out the games at this link: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/chvision.html.
Another way you can make 3D glasses is to find an old pair of sunglasses. Take out the lenses (镜片). Get a piece of clear plastic and place the lenses on it, draw a line around the lens and then cut the new plastic lens out. Place the lens back into the sunglasses frame (框). Color the left lens red with a marker and the right eye blue. You now are ready to watch 3D films.
1. When do we need to use 3D glasses?
A. When the sun is bright. B. When we cook dinner.

It was a special day because I took the final PE Test for Junior Three students.
The sun was shining brightly. 4 We stood in line in groups. Before the 800-meter race, we had a five-minute warm-up. 5 In fact, I didn’t do well in it. With the teacher’s order, we began to run as fast as we could. Towards the end, I was so tired that I slowed down and several runners caught up with me. However, encouraged by my classmates, I kept running with every effort. 6 To my pleasure, this is the best result I have got in an 800-meter race.
7 Not only I challenged the strength (挑战体能) that a runner needed but also I learned that trying my best would really make a difference.
三、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
You don’t need millions to be happy. In fact, at the Happiness Training Centre in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.
The training centre opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $200 an hour for lessons on how to feel great. “You can really increase your happiness levels. That’s what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, beginner of the centre.
Experts say that only about 15 per cent of happiness comes from income and financer (收入及财务因素). As much as 85 per cent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.
Most of us are better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven’t changed to match that.
Studies show that once the basic needs of housing and food are met, other wealth adds very little to happiness.
Scientists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off.
“The fact is that if you want to be happy, there’s a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well off than you —poorer, smaller house, etc.” said Sharp.
The Happiness Training Centre hopes to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by paying attention to “more than just your bank account.”
“If I compare myself to Bill Gates, then I’m always going to be down,” said Sharp.
