语法讲解
状语从句
一、目的状语从句
目的状语从句的常用引导词为so that(为了；以便) 和 in order that(为了，以便)
例如：
I wrote down the address so that I wouldn't forget it.
He took some medicine for his cold in order that he could get well sooner.
注意事项：
1)如上面的例句所示so that和in order that 引导的从句中常用情态动词can/ could，may/might，will／would。
2) so that 和 in order that引导的从句分别可以与so as to和in order to不定式转换，例如：
We must study hard so that/in order that we can serve the people better in the future.
We must study hard so as to/in order to serve the people better in the future.
二、其他状语从句
（一）结果状语从句
结果状语从句的常用引导词为: so...that , such...that , so much / many /few / little ...that
such＋（形容词）＋不可数名词或可数名词复数＋that
such + a/an + 形容词＋可数名词单数＋that
so+ 形容词+ a/an＋可数名词单数＋that
so + adj. / adv. + that
The box is so heavy that I can't lift it.
It's such lovely weather that nobody wants to stay at home.
These are such beautiful stamps that I want to buy all of them.
She is such a nice girl that everybody likes her.
She is so nice a girl that everybody likes her.
Tom didn't work hard at maths, so that he failed in the exam.
注意事项：
1 )so that表示结果与表示目的的区别在于so that引导目的状语从句通常需要用情态动词can/could, may/might等，而引导结果状语从句则多半不需要，而且通常用逗号与主句分开，例如：
The teacher explained the text again, so that his students understood its main ideals well.
老师又把课文解释了一遍，结果他的学生很好地理解了课文大意。（表示结果）
The teacher explained the text again so that his students could understand its main ideas well.
老师又把课文解释了一遍，以便他的学生能很好地理解课文大意。（表示目的）
2) so…that从句的否定结构可以与too…to和not…enough to不定式结构转换，例如：
He is so young that he can't go to school. -~ He is too young to go to school.
He is not old enough to go to school.
（二）时间状语从句
时间状语从句的常用引导词为：when(当…时), while(当), as(当), till/until(直到), since(自从), after(在…后), before(在…前)和 as soon as(一…就…)等，例如：
Edison was not a good student when he was a young boy.
While Linda was doing her homework, her brother was watching TV.
The bus won’t start until/till everybody gets on.
I saw him as he was getting off the bus.
I’ ll call him after I get home.
As soon as the rain stops, we’ ll set off.
【易错点1】当主句是一般将来时,描述未来的事或祈使句时，when, as soon as, before, after, until, till等引导的从句用一般现在时态表示将来要发生的动作或存在的状态，例如：
I’ ll let you know as soon as he arrives. (正)
Please tell him to call me back when he comes home. (正)
【易错点2】as、 when、 while用法。
1.在表示两个延续的动作同时进行时一般用while，例如：
While I was watching TV, my brother was playing computer games.
2. as表示“当……的时候”，往往和when/ while通用，但它着重强调主句与从句的动作或事情同时或几乎同时发生。
She came up as I was cooking.(同时)
The runners started as the gun went off.(几乎同时)
3.when (at or during the time that )既可以表示在某一点的时候，又可表示在某一段时间内，主句与从句的动作或事情可以同时发生也可以先后发生。
It was raining when we arrived.(指时间点)
When we were at school, we went to the library every day.(在一段时间内)
4. while意思是“当……的时候”或“在某一段时间里”。主句中的动作或事情在从句中的动作或事情的进展过程中发生，从句中的动词一般要用延续性动词。在when表示a period of time时，两者可以互换。
Please don’t talk so loud while others are working.
（三）原因状语从句
原因状语从句常用的引导词有 because(因为), as(由于；因为), since(因为；既然), now that(既然)等，例如：
John didn’t attend the meeting because he was ill.
As you are tired, you had better have a rest.
Since everyone is here, let’s begin our discussion.
Now that you’re not interested, I won’t tell you about it.
【易错点1】注意事项：
because不能与so出现在同一句中，例如：
It was hot yesterday, so we went swimming in the sea. (正)
Because it was hot yesterday, we went swimming in the sea.（正）
【易错点2】because, for, as, since 的区别
1. 表示不知道的原因时用because,即说话人认为听话人不知道，因此because从句是全句最重要的部 分，通常它被置于主句之后。
You want to know why I’m leaving? I’m leaving because I’m full.
for虽然表示不知道的原因，但其语气较because要弱得多，是可说可不说的话，它只能置于主句之后，这时，for是并列连词。如果不是因果关系，而是对前面主句的内容加以解释或推断时，只能用for。
It’s morning now, for the birds are singing.（很显然，鸟叫不可能是“现在已是早上”的原因。）
2. 表示已经知道的原因时用as或since,即某种原因在说话人看来已经很明显，或已为听话人所熟悉，因此它是句中不很重要的部分。since要比as正式一些，它们通常被置于语句之前，但有时却相反。
Seeing all of the children already seated, he said,“Since everyone is here, let’s start.”
（四）地点状语从句
地点状语从句通常由where, wherever 引导。
Where I live there are plenty of trees. 　　我住的地方树很多。
Wherever I am I will be thinking of you. 　 不管我在哪里我都会想到你。
（五）条件状语从句
条件状语从句的常用引导词为if(如果) 和 unless(除非 = if not )，例如
If I have time, I'll go with you.
He won't finish his work in time unless he works hard.
注意事项：
1）条件状语从句与时间状语从句一样，全句描述将来的事，主句用将来时态，从句用一般现在时态。
We will go for a picnic if it doesn't rain tomorrow．（正）
If you don't hurry up，you'll be late for school．（正）
I'll go there tomorrow unless I’ m too busy．（正）
2) unless的意思是if…not ,故其引导的从句中的谓语动词不用否定式，例如：
I'll come to your English Evening if I’m not busy．（正）
I'll come to your English Evening unless I’m busy．（正）
（六）让步状语从句
让步状语从句的常用引导词为：though(尽管)和 although(尽管)，例如：
Though he is young, he knows a lot about science.
Although she is old, she is still in good health.
注意事项：
1) Though / Although不能与but出现在同一句中，例如：
Though/ Although he is poor，he is happy．（正）
He is poor，but he is happy．（正）
though前面可以加even组成连词词组，意为“虽然、尽管、即使”，用来使人注意下文所强调内容的性质。例如：
I'll come to see you this evening even though I can stay only a few minutes.
I’ll get there even if(though)I have to sell my house to get enough money to go by air.
（七）比较状语从句
比较状语从句有五种句型：
more…than… 比．．．更．．．　例如：
He studies harder than I.
Our kitchen is much smaller than yours.
2) less…than…　不如．．． 例如
Mike studies less hard than you.
This lesson is less difficult than Lesson 10.
3)as…as…　和．．．一样　例如
She can speak English as well as you.
Her English is as good as yours.
4)not so…as…(=not as…as…)　不如．．．　 例如
Mike doesn’t study as hard as you.
This lesson is not so difficult as Lesson 10.
The more…, the more…　越．．．越．．．　例如
The more you learn, the more you want to learn.
The nearer an object is to us, the bigger it looks.
The faster you run, the more tired you feel.
注意事项：
1) 在第一种句型中，为了表示比较级的程度，在比较级前可以用much, even, still, far, a lot, a bit, a little等
2）在第二种句型中，less后面的形容词或副词一律用原级．

三、阅读（共35分）
第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do many things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time, they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who do not have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
26. The first paragraph tells us ________.
A. what is the feeling of having no friends B. how to communicate with friends
C. making friends is the need in one’s life D. we need to be alone in our life
27. According to the author, why don’t friends sometimes get along well? Because ________.
A. friends move away B. no two people are the same
C. we have made new friends D. we don’t call them and write to them
28. This passage mainly tells us ________.
A. that people are all friends B. how to name a place
C. how to get to know friends D. that people need friends
B
Andrew Carnegie—the King of Steel（钢铁）,was born in 1835, in Scotland. In 1848, his family moved to America to look for a better chance for making money. Andrew Carnegie had a few years’ schooling. He worked from an early age.
In the early 1870s, Carnegie built his first steel company with others. Over the next few years, he built his own steel industry in the US, and became one of the wealthiest men in America.
Carnegie believed that people should win success through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the rich should use their money for the improvement and development of the society. He didn’t agree to always provide help for the poor. He thought it was important to provide educational chances to allow the poor to help themselves.
His more contributions（贡献） to society include the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. It has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also built a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other contributions to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to develop understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to provide money for scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left not touched by Andrew Carnegie’s kindness. His contributions of more than five million dollars built 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the public library system that we all enjoy today.
29. Which of the following is the correct order about Andrew Carnegie?
①He built his own steel industry in the US.
② His family moved to America.
③ He built his first steel company with others.
④ He built part of Carnegie-Mellon University.
A. ①②③④ B.②③①④ C. ②①④③ D. ④③②①
30. What does the underlined word “wealthiest” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. most popular B. most famous C. richest D. greatest
31. What was Carnegie’s idea about helping others?
A. Helping others as much as possible.
B. Providing what the poor needed.
C. Giving money was the most convenient way to help the poor.
D. Providing educational chances for the poor.
32. Why did the writer write about the passage?
A. To tell us Carnegie’s life. B. To tell us Carnegie’s contributions.
C. To let us learn about Carnegie well. D. To tell how great Carnegie is.

IQ scores have been measured（测量）since 1916, when Alfred Binet developed his intelligence list as follows:
IQ scores
Description
130
Very excellent
120
Excellent
110
Above ordinary
99
Ordinary
80
Below ordinary
Less than 70
Very low
Some very famous people are known for their high IQ level. Jill St. John who has the highest score on this list was a major American film actress during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Jill was chosen to the University of California at the age of 14.
Name
IQ scores
Al Gore
140
Hugh Hefner

Bill Gates

Jill St. John
162
Scientists have estimated（估算）the IQ scores that some famous historical people might have got. This was done by looking at their work and their ideas and the way they put them together. Leonardo da Vinci gets that high score not only for his art but also for his idea of the helicopter（直升飞机）.Without modern scientific tools, he created a lot of design drawings and patterns, which was ahead of his time.

D
My house is made of wood, glass and stone. It is also made of software.
If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that several years from now on, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How did I live without them?”
37. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.
C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.
38. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the fourth paragraph?
A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B. To explain what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D. To let readers know how special his house is.
39. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because ________.
A. it has your favourite music following you
B. you can make a telephone call anywhere
C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
D. it has been controlled by computers
40. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?
A. An IT expert. B. A famous engineer.
C. A game player. D. An experienced teacher.

Thank you for your concern. Well, I'm going to take the once-a-year Senior High School entrance examination. We are arranged to attend the exam on June 16th and 18th, on the first day, Chinese and ?physics will be tested, the second day maths and politics, the third day English and
chemistry. Over the past days, we have been busy in preparing for this exam since we are in Grade 9. Besides listening to our teachers carefully in class, we often work deep into night. Therefore, I believe I can succeed.
At first, I will feel a bit nervous but soon I can calm down because Chinese and English are very easy and maths is my favorite subject, you know. So I suppose I can get a good mark and I will be able to enter my ideal school.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
