重点语法-----------who whom whose 引导的定语从句
who,whom,whose和that作为定语从句的引导词,称为关系代词。我们现在来看一下先行词指人时,这四个关系代词的使用问题。下面用句子合并的方法来分析。
(一)定语从句用who或that做引导词,在从句中作主语。
①The boy is called Jack.② He broke the window.
把句②变为句①的定语从句,句①中的the boy做定语从句的先行词。在句②中he指句①中提到的the boy也就是定语从句的先行词,he在句中做主语,因此要用who和that引导定语从句,代替句②中的he,也就是说he就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句③The boy who broke the window is called Jack.
注意:一般情况下定语从句要紧挨先行词。
请把下面两句话合并为一句。
The person must pay for it./He lost the library book.
→_______________________________________________________________
定语从句用who,whom或that作引导词,在从句中作宾语。因为是作宾语,所以这些引导词可以省略。
请分析下面两个简单句:
句①Do you know the young man?句②We met him at the gate.把句②变为句①的定语从句,句①中的the young man作定语从句的先行词。在句②中him指句①中提到的the young man也就是定语从句的先行词,him在句中做宾语,因此要用whom,that或who引导定语从句,代替句②中的him,也就是说him就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句③Do you know the young man who/that/whom we met at the gate?(who/that/whom可以省略,句子可以写作:Do you know the young man we met at the gate?)
请把下面两句话合并为一句。
Mr. Lee has come./You want to see him.→___________________________________________
定语从句用whose作引导词,在从句中作定语表示“某些人的……”。
请分析下面两个简单句:句①The girl is staying at home today.句②Her mother is ill.把句②变为句①的定语从句,句①中的the girl作定语从句的先行词。在句②中her指句①中提到的the girl也就是定语从句的先行词,her在句中作定语,因此要用whose引导定语从句,代替句②中的her,也就是说her就不能出现在定语从句中了。由此得到句③The girl whose mother is ill is staying at home today.
请把下面句子合并为一句。
The boy is called Li Lei./His parents were dead in the flood.→
The boy whose parents were dead in the flood is called Li Lei?
练一练:
a). Who is the man _____ talked with you just now? A. who??? B. that??? C. whom??? D. whose
b). The person ______ you just talked is Mr. Lin.A. who??? B. to who??? C. to whom??? D that?

Most of you will enter high school this fall. By that time,you,11 find yourself immersed in (沉浸于) traditional Chinese culture.
In January, the Ministry of Education worked out a new set of curriculum standards (课程标准) for high school students, People’s Daily reported. One of the biggest changes will be a greater focus on traditional Chinese culture.
According to Professor Han Zhen from Beijing Foreign Language Studies University, the new standards echo (回应) President Xi Jinping’s call for strengthening education. “The standards help students build cultural confidence,” he told People’s Daily.
The new standards call for students to be able to recite (背诵) 72 ancient poems or articles. The number used to be 14. Recommended classic literature (推荐的经典著作) from ancient China includes The Analects of Confucius (《论语》) ,Records of the Grand Historian (《史记》) and more.
Apart from Chinese language, other subjects such as fine arts, music and physical education will also focus more on traditional Chinese culture. For example, fine arts will include new lessons on Chinese calligraphy (书法) and painting.
China has also seen a growing interest in traditional culture in the private education sector (领域).According to Southern Metropolitan Daily, since 2004, more than 3,000 traditional private schools (私塾) have been built.They mainly teach traditional Chinese classics.
The students may be too young to understand some classics. However, as their life experience builds up,they may develop their own thoughts about the wisdom (智慧) of the classics, which could be a driving force fortheir growth. -

hang on the wall 挂在墙上;
on the wall & in the wall 区别:
on the wall / in the wall都译为"在墙上".由于介词不同,在使用上有区别。如:
图画、黑板、风筝等"在墙上",是因为它们在墙的表面上,故用on the wall;
门窗、钉子、洞、孔等"在墙上",是因为它们在墙的里面,故用in the wall.
People were either early or late. 人们早晚不一。
either … or … 用于连接两个表示选择关系的名词或代词,意为“要么……要么……”。

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.
Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan (抢包山), but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist (存在), of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark.
1._____ McDull was at first a supporting character i a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-healed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence i his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”. 2.__________
3.________ In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience (观众), “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure (失败). Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.
4.________ The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who hs some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems. 5._________” says Alice Mark.
The cartoon pig is not smart, either.
That’s why both children and adults find McDull cute.
However, the slow, silly pig has won over Hong Kong people.
According to his headmaster, McDull isn’t that silly. He’s just too kind.
The story is more than its funny points. It is pleasant and sour at the same time.
What he did in the moves is to find new dreams, but most of them end up in disappointment.

It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
1. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold?
2. Why do you have difficulty breathing when you catch a cold?
3. How might Americans deal with colds? (one example)
4. How long do you usually spend curing the common cold?
5. What do you think of taking medicine after catching a cold?

Recently, China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate(天然气水合物,即可燃冰), from the seabed in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea. It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water.
Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing. According to reports, China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m? daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.
Scientists say there is about 21, 000 trillion (万亿 ) m? of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1, 000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源 ) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges ——environmental risk and economic (经济的) cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That s very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases. Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well.
However, Chinas technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy.
1. What is Paragraph I mainly about?
A. China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B. China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country.
C. China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed.

C. How to make it cheap on the future energy market.
D. How to change it into a traditional form of energy.
3. Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found?
A. Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it.
B. Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment.
C. Because it’s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy.
D. Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment.
