四、句子精析与仿写
1. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. 从高中起，姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行。
句子分析：(1)ever since一般可用于句首，表示“自从……直到现在”。主句用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，从句用一般过去时。ever since也可用于句末，表示在上文有所交代或是听话者知道的那个时间起一
直到现在，即“从那时起，一直到现在”。常与现在完成时连用。
相当于since。（2）dream of /about doing sth /sth 梦想做某事。
dream为不及物动词，如果作为及物动词，要加上同源宾语
dream才可以。
仿写：
(1) 自从中学时代起，他就梦想成为一名设计师。
_______________________________________________________
________________________________________________
(2) 里德先生三年前来中国，从那时起他就一直居住在中国。
_______________________________________________________
_____________________________
Ever since middle school, he has dreamed about becoming a fashion
designer.
Mr. Read came to China three years ago and he has lived in China
ever since.
2. It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.是我姐姐首先想到骑自行车沿湄公河从它的源头行走到入海口处。
句子分析：It was…who…这是一个强调句，被强调部分是主语my sister。where it begins和where it ends分别充当介词from和to的宾语从句。强调句只是起到强调的作用，句型为it is was+ 被强调部分 that /who，如果把它给省略的话，句子仍然是完整的。
仿写：
(1) 杰克给了我一个坚定的眼神，这眼神表明他不会改变主意，也不会屈服。(change one’s mind, give in)
______ Jack ___ gave me a determined look, which showed me that ________________________________________.
(2) 尽管她并不喜欢画，她却坚持要和我一起去看画展。(be fond of, insist)
_______she __________ insisted _____________________ to the exhibition with me, _______ she was not fond of paintings.
It was
who
he would neither change his mind nor give in
It was
who/that
that she (should) go
although
3. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. 虽然她对去某些地方的路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅游安排得尽善尽美。
句子分析：insist 后可接介词短语(on+doing)，或宾语从句，表示“坚持做……”，接从句时有两种情况：(1)表示坚持一个事实时，从句谓语的时态应该根据主句的动词来定；(2)表示坚持要时，谓语动词应该使用虚拟语气，用“(should) +动词原形”。
仿写：
(1) 我们坚决要求你收下这些礼物。
We ___________________________________these gifts.
(2) 他们坚持留下来，而不愿意走。
______________________________________________
(3) 他仍然坚持那时候他肯定不在那里。
______________________________________________
insist that you accept/should accept
They insisted on staying rather than going.
He still insists that he was not there at that time.
4. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. 当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。
句子分析：主语+be＋adj.＋to do在“主语＋系动词＋形容词＋不定式”结构中，不定式与主语在意义上是动宾关系，但要用主动形式表被动意义；如果不定式
的动词是不及物的，要在不定式后边加介词。用于这种句式中
的形容词常为：easy, difficult, heavy, hard, nice, better, dangerous,
interesting, important, comfortable, pleasant, impossible 等。
仿写：
(1) 我认为如果有适当的方法，英语是很容易学的。
______________________________________________
(2) 我新买的公寓住起来很舒适。
______________________________________________
I think English is very easy to learn if you have a proper way.
My newly-bought apartment is comfortable to live in.
5．Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. 她一
旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。
句子分析：“once＋状语从句”意为“一旦……就……”。在once引导的状语从句中常用一般现在时代替将来时。还可以用于条件句表示“一旦”，once还可以表示副词“一次，曾经，一度”。
仿写：
(1) 一旦有了信心，你在面试中就能成功。
______________________________________________
(2) 一旦你听到这首歌，你会永远忘不了它。
______________________________________________
You will be successful in the interview once you have confidence.
Once you have heard the song, you will never forget it.
6. A determined person always tries to finish the job, no matter
how hard it is. 一个意志坚定的人总是努力完成工作，不管它多
么困难。
句子分析：no matter，作“不管”“无论”解，同
what/who/when/where/how 等疑问词连用，引导让步状语从句相
当于这些疑问词后+ever，how +adj.+主语+be。
仿写：
(1) 不管他说什么，我都不会相信他。
______________________________________________
(2) 不管这是谁的包，必须暂时放在这里。
______________________________________________
No matter what he says, I won’t believe him.
No matter whose bag this is, it must be kept here for the present.

On Saturday, we set out as soon as we could hire the car for the south of Wales. We were heading towards Raglan Castle and Tintern Abbey. Jenny and I studied the
6 we were headed for. We fully planned to use the main motorways only to save time, and to get onto the more 7 roads so that we could spend some time looking at the villages and towns along the way.
We decided to head 8 for Tintern Abbey. We got a little lost when trying to find a road. We 9 heading south and a little more west than we had 10 . Following the map, Jenny identified a different 11 that would take us to the abbey. We 12 there around 15:30. It was a spectacular view and we were there until closing time at 17:00.
At that 13 , we realized that we had not eaten anything all day. We were having too much of a good time, and had 14 about food. Earlier in the day, when we were buying the map, we bought a diet coke to drink in the car. That’s what we had all day. Realizing this, and that we were getting a bit 15 , we stopped for food. Then we started our journey back to London and finally returned safely to our hotel.

议。

字数：167 完成时间：8分钟 难度：★★
eventually
will have used
the human race, the crowded conditions on Earth will make it 3__________ (necessity) for us to look for somewhere else. But 4____ of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible 5_______(solve) to the problem, 6___________, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagarn believes that 7____ the Earth’s resources are completely 8________ (exhaust), it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and 9____________ create a new world almost as large as Earth itself. Something is difficult. Venus is much hotter than the Earth. 10__________, there is only a tiny amount of water there.
necessary
none
solution
however
before
exhausted
so/therefore
Besides
1. eventually “There will not be enough resources”的主谓结构是完整的，所以只能用eventual的副词形式eventually作状语。
2. will have used　时间状语是by＋将来时间，谓语用将来完成时态。
3. necessary 考查句型make＋it＋adj.＋for＋sb.＋to do sth.。
4. none 考查理解和代词。根据意思应该是“其他行星中到目前为
止还没有一个适合生命生存的”。“none of＋复数名词/不可数
名词”，表示“……中没有一个” 。
5.solution 考查词性转化，solve的名词形式.solution。
6. however　考查上下文理解和行文逻辑。前文说“没办法”，这里说“可能的解决方案”所以用“however”表示转折。
7. before 考查内容理解和从句。这里应该是“在地球的资源完全枯竭之前”，所以用before。
8. exhausted 是及物动词，“耗尽，用完”，这里应该用被动语态。
9. so/therefore 考虑到行文逻辑，这里表示的是结果，因此，so/therefore是最佳措辞。
10. Besides 考查行文逻辑。文章最后两句很明显是解释something is difficult这句话。有两件事是困难的，除了Venus比地球热得多，另一难题是那里的水有限，所以这里用Besides。
五、阅读理解
词数：315 建议用时：8分钟 难度：★★★
第3题 It can be inferred from the text that the amount of electricity from the device directly lies in ______.
解题技巧点拨 推理判
断题型 考查依据短文内容和考生应有的常识进行推理和判断的能力。此类题目文章中没有明确的答案，需要考生在理解全文的基础上进行推理和判断。其主要提问方式是：
1. It can be inferred from the text that .
2. From the text we know that.
3. The story implies that.
4. The paragraph following the passage will most probably be.
5. It may be concluded from the passage that .
6. What would be happy if…
方 法
对 策 该题型要根据语篇关系，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物、身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息，或者借助生活常识进行判断推理，并且推理时不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。最重要的是推理的根据要来自于上下文。在本题中根据文章第二段和第三段，这种装置主要是通过关节的活动来提供动能量而发电，因此，膝关节的伸缩度直接关系到发电量的多少。故答案选D。
真 题
回 放 Some people are never right. They never have good luck. They usually do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing. And even if what they say or do is OK, they as a rule say it or do it at the wrong time. So these people always have problems. They often break dishes. They sometimes miss buses and airplanes.?
Mr. Neff is different. He is always right. He is never wrong. He usually has good luck. He seldom has problems. He never breaks dishes. He never misses buses or airplanes. Even if he does miss them, it is always the fault of the buses or air planes. Mr. Neff knows almost everything. He doesn’t ask questions; he answers questions. He never says, “I don’t know.”?
Which of the following best describes the writer’s
attitude towards Mr. Neff
He finds Mr. Neff hard to understand.
B. He thinks Mr. Neff wonderful.
C. He feels pity for Mr. Neff.
D. He does not like Mr. Neff.?
D 本文中第一段描写了日常生活中的一类人，用白描的手法写他们Some people are never right. They never have good luck.但是第二段具体到Mr. Neff身上以后作者明显说反话在讽刺Mr. Neff，通过使用never，还写到Even if he does miss them, it is always the fault of the buses or the airplanes. 故暗示他对Mr. Neff的讨厌之情。

篇章结构 段落 Key words Topic sentences Title New Apparatus
(Part 1) scientist, created,machine, harvest,energy, movement Scientists have created a new machine that harvests energy from themovement of the knees while walking. Main idea
A wolf in a Sheep’s Skin
we can’t judge a person by his appearance.
Part 2 (Para2-5) apparatus, catches theenergy of, movement,connecting an electricalgenerator How do the apparatus (装置) work. It tells us that scientists havecreated a newmachine and howit works and where it can be used.
Part 3 (Para 6) remote areas, electricityshot, military side Where the apparatus (装置) can be used
Charging your mobile phone might soon be as simple as taking a walk around the block. Scientists have created a new machine that harvests energy from the movement of the knees while walking. Six volunteers wore the devices(装置)on their legs while walking on a treadmill (跑步机) and were able to produce about five watts of electrical power each. That’s enough energy to run 10 mobiles at the same time.
“Since muscles are the powerhouses of the body, my colleagues and I designed our device to generate electricity from the move of the knee joint,” said Max Donelan. “It resembles a knee brace and weighs about 1.5 kilograms including the gearing (传动装置) and generator.”
The apparatus (装置) catches the energy of a person’s movement by connecting an electrical generator to knee moving. When the wearer extends the knee, a
gear on the device movement turns and spins the generator, which builds up energy. When the knee is flexed, the device turns off so as not to tax the wearer. The machine senses moving and knows when to activate itself.
The design allows a person to use the tool without using much additional energy beyond the normal demands of walking. The researchers measured the volunteers’ oxygen intake and carbon-dioxide output to make sure it wasn’t strenuous to use.
People are the excellent source of portable power. An average-sized person stores as much energy in fat as a 1,000-kilogram battery. People recharge their body batteries with food.
The device could be used to power computers in remote areas where electricity is shot. The early markets are people whose lives depend on portable power, such as people with artificial limbs(肢体). On the military side, some soldiers have an extreme dependence on batteries these days, so both these groups could benefit.
1. The passage is mainly about a new machine that ______.
A. can make your walking easy on a treadmill
B. can generate enough electricity by walking
C. can increase the strength of your walking
D. can offer electricity for your physical practice
B 主旨大意题。本文提到的这种新器械主要是通过人步行时膝关节的活动来带动该装置发电。选项B概述了该文的主旨；选项A、C和D偏离本文主题。故选B。
2. According to the passage, which parts of the body are suitable for the device
A. The knees. B. The ankles. C. The wrists. D. The neck.
A 细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段，这种装置应该是安装在膝关节处的。故选A。
3. It can be inferred from the passage that the amount of electricity from the device directly lies in ______.　　
A. the speed of your walking
B. the amount of food you eat
C. the amount of oxygen intake
D. the extent of your knees extending
D 推理判断题。见上表。
4. Why did the researchers measure the volunteers’ carbon-dioxide output
A. To see whether the device is hard to use.
B. To test the amount of electricity generated.
C. To tell whether the device has enough source of energy.
D. To judge what food is useful for the wearers.
A 细节理解题。文章第四段提到，这种装置不需要携带者超出一般的步行量，而通过检测氧气摄入和二氧化碳的呼出来说明这种装置是否能让携带者用起来方便不吃力。本题间接考查形容词 (strenuous)，不过从文章的上下文来看，该词应该与发电量和所吃食物无关。故选A。
5. We can learn from the passage that the device ______.
A. is a must for a soldier in the army
B. will more and more change people’s ways of life
C. has widely been used in remote areas
D. is more useful in places with electricity unaccessible
D 细节判断题。根据文章最后一段，这种器械对于缺乏电源的偏远地区的人或者对于需要电源的士兵来说是很有用处的。选项A表达过于绝对了；选项B表述错误，这种装置还不能大范围地影响人们的生活方式；选项C表达不符合原文意思，该种装置还没有用于实际生活中。故选D。
六、读写任务
阅读下面一篇关于一位美国朋友希望找个中国大学生作为游伴的博客短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
I’m 19-year-old, named Boobi Smith, a young college student from USA. I hereby earnestly invite a Chinese young college student preferring to make a three-week touring trip with me in China.
My plan, based on some travelling information on the Internet, is to set off next weekend when the summer vacation officially begins. The first stop is Kunming, the world-renowned city for its beauty and mild temperature. We’ll get there by train and stay there for 2 days, and then
we’ll head for Jinggangshan, a former revolutionary base as well as a natural beauty spot. After a 3-day visit there, we will take a long-distance coach to a nearby port city by the Changjiang River and board a downstream ship to Shanghai, so that we can enjoy the great scenery alongside the third longest river in the world. As everybody knows, Shanghai is the busiest and fastest developing city in China. I’d like to have a look at its prosperity, so the stay there will be about half a week. A 4-day visit to these two cities near Shanghai is a must. All together, our trip will last about three weeks.
I only expect that my travel-mate could split the expenses with me,
and talk with me in English, and he or she would be an excellent
guide.
For those who are interested in please contact me through email
(Smith Boobie @).

Dear Bobie,
Hi, I am a Chinese college student. In your blog, I know that you want a travel-mate who will go with you to have a three-week trip in China. You also offer me some information in details about the travel plan and other requirements about this trip.
I am absolutely delighted to get such a travel-mate from the USA. You can enjoy the beauty of our country. Meanwhile, you will be my good helper to my English study.
I share your opinion about your plan. I have never been to Kunming, Jianggangshan, the Changjiang River and Shanghai. This is my first trip with a native English
speaker to travel in China, which is of great help to improve my English. I also like to share the expenses with you because I don’t need to ask my parents for more money. And I have worked as a part-time guide for two years during my college life, so I will be your ideal guide.
I am looking forward to your reply, and you will enjoy your journey in China.
Yours Truly,
Li Hua
