(2)as引导限制性定语从句时,常用于下列句式中:
such+名词+as...像……一样的
the same+名词+as...和……同样的
(3)在介词+关系代词结构中不用that。

A.when B.that
C.where D.which
解析: 句意为:“体力是谋生的唯一所需”的时代一去不复返了。本题考查定语从句的用法。先行词为the days,将其代入定语从句后为:On the days physical strength was all...由此可见先行词在定语从句中作时间状语,故用when引导。本题先行词与定语从句隔开,构成了“分割性定语从句”,增加了试题难度。
答案: A
(2011·浙江卷)A bank is the place________they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
A.when B.that

A.they B.where
C.what D.that
解析: 句意为:这个古老的小镇拥有建造得彼此靠得很近的狭窄街道和小房子。本题考查定语从句。先行词是narrow streets and small houses,还原到从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that。A和C不能引导定语从句;B是关系副词,不能作主语。
答案: D

答案: A
3.I’ve become good friends with several of the students in my school________I met in the English speech contest last year.
A.who B.where
C.when D.which

A.as;him B.that;/
C.as;/ D.whom;him

A LETTER HOME
Dear Rosemary,
Thanks for your letter,which took a fortnight to arrive.It was wonderful to hear from you.I know you’re dying to hear all about my life here,so I’ve included some photos which will help you picture the places I talk about.
You asked about my high school.Well,it’s a bush school—the classrooms are made of bamboo and the roofs of grass.It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a muddy track.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 to two hours,to get to school.
There’s no electricity or water and even no textbooks 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.
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 relative of Tombe’s.
Tombe’s father,Mukap,led us to his house,a low bamboo hut with 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.
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.
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 ont 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.
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.
It’s getting late and I have to prepare tomorrow’s lessons and do some paperwork.Please write soon.
Love,
Jo
一封家信
亲爱的罗斯玛丽:
谢谢你的来信,这封信两星期才到。收到你的信真是太高兴了。我知道你急于了解我在这儿的生活情况,我在信中附有几张照片,能够帮助你想象出我所谈到的地方。
你问起我的中学情况。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。每次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。他们中许多人走了很长的路,有时候要走两个小时才能到学校。
这儿没有电,也没有水,甚至连课本也没有!我还在努力适应这儿的生活条件。但是有一点是肯定的,我在教学中变得更富有想象力了。理科对我来说是最富挑战性的课,因为我的学生对做试验没有概念。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!有一天,我正给孩子们做每周一次的化学实验的演示,我还没有明白怎么回事,混合剂就到处冒气泡了!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,化学对这些孩子究竟有多大的用处,他们中的大多数人学完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去了。说实在的,我真的不知道我教的课是否会让这些孩子的生活有所改变。
你问我是否了解当地的老百姓。这实在是太难了,因为我还说不了几句当地人说的英语。不过,上周末我和另外一位叫詹妮的教师真的去访问了一个村庄,那是我的学生汤贝的家。这是我第一次到偏僻的村子里去。我们步行了两个半小时才到达那里——先是爬山,爬到山脊能看到奇妙的景色,然后下一个陡坡,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,因此眼睛要过好一阵才能适应过来。地上摆放着一堆新鲜的草,还新做了一个平台,是供杰妮和我睡觉用的。通常齐亚克是睡在她自己的小屋里,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。我所看到的仅有的家具就是一把扫帚,几个锡盘和锡杯,还有两个罐子。
莫卡普在屋子外边生火。火着起来后,他往火里扔了几块石头。烧热之后,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。我用鼻子一嗅,食物闻起来很香。我们在房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,我很喜欢听他们谈话,尽管我不能加入他们的谈话。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。他们相信剩饭在夜晚会引来邪灵,所以要把食物放在罐子里烧干,再把罐子一起扔到屋外去。否则的话他们是不会浪费任何东西的。
第二天早晨,经过一番紧密握手和道别之后,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。跟汤贝一家度过一天,真是一种殊荣。
天色很晚了,我还得准备明天的课和做些文书工作呢。请早日来信。
爱你的,
齐

International Volunteer Day
国际志愿者日由联合国大会于1985年确定。它为志愿者组织和个人提供了一个展现他们风采的机会。
The world is not made of bricks and mortar.It is made up of people interacting with each other and supporting each other. Each year volunteer workers put in hundreds of thousands of hours in a huge range of activities.Sometimes they are in formal organizations;more often they are simply helping out those in the neighborhood less fortunate than themselves.What they have in common is that they are doing their volunteer work because they want to,not because they are paid.
International Volunteer Day celebrates one of the most honorable jobs in the world—being a volunteer.No matter how small a contribution,International Volunteer Day recognizes the hard work and perseverance of voluteers all over the world. Many not for profit and non government organizations rely on the devotion of volunteers and International Volunteer Day gives these organizations an opportunity to acknowledge their efforts.
The United Nations General Assembly established International Volunteer Day in 1985.International Volunteer Day is the perfect time for an organization to express thanks to its volunteers.Designed to thank volunteers and encourage them to make more great contributions,International Volunteer Day has already been held in more than half of the countries in the world.
