课题名称 阅读理解与阅读表达专题(四)
Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S, children often argue with their parents, students may _____________, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.

Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the high Tang culture, combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian(孔子) philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as describe by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers. Here we see the tragedy(悲剧)of a genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heaven. His poetry is marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.
Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace(拥抱) the reflection of the moon.

Judgment of character can be influenced by something as simple as the temperature of a drink held in our hands, according to a US study published today.
Researchers from Yale University conducted experiments that showed that people perceive(认知)others as more generous and more attentive if they have just been holding a hot cup of coffee,and that the inverse is true for cold drinks.
A second study found that people are more likely to give something to others if they hold something warm; and more likely to take something for themselves if they hold something cold. In the study published in the current issue of the journal Science, the research team built on earlier studies that show the physical distance between individuals also influences social judgment about others.
The experiment suggests that the warmth of an object or the distance that is felt between people means more than simple metaphors(暗喻).Both instances, researchers said ,are literal examples of trust first experienced between mother and child during infancy.
“When we ask whether someone is a warm person or cold person, they both have a temperature of 98.6(Farenheit,37 Celsius),’’said Yale psychology professor John Bargh,who co-authored the study with Lawrence Williams at the University of Colorado.“These terms indirectly explains the primitive experience of what it means to be warm and cold·’’
“Physical temperatures affect not just how humans see each other, but also how humans behave,”said Bargh,“The power of temperature on character assessments has been backed up by recent brain imaging studies.”He added.“Physical warmth can make us see others as warmer people, cause us to be warmer, more generous and trusting as well.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Recent studies on brain imaging has supported temperature's effect on judgment of character
3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 6 with proper words.(Please answer within 6 words)
4.List two aspects that affect social judgment about others.(Please answer within 10 words.)
① ②
5.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 into Chinese.
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others
6.While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger____.
A.can go anywhere without having to pay the driver
B.only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C.can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D.needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying
7.We can know from the passage that in Finland .
A.both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of charge
B.big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners
C.guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel
D.big hotels are mostly poorly managed
8.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A.Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.
B.The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.
C.The workers are always honest with their working hours.
D.The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.
9.The underlined word “those” in the 5th paragraph probably refers to people _____.
A.who often take taxis B.who often have meals in big hotels
C.who are dishonest D.who are on guard against others
10.It can be concluded that _____.
A.Finnish people are really foolish in daily life
B.Finland has been a good place for cheats
C.the Finnish society is of very high moral level
D.all the Finns are rich and therefore honest总课时数 37 科目 高三英语 使用时间

课题名称 阅读理解与阅读表达专题(一)
阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是:
1.读材料的主旨和大意,以及用以说明主旨和大意的事实和细节。
2.既理解具体的事实,也理解抽象的概念。
3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深层的含义,包括作者的态度,意图等。
4.既理解某句,某段的含义,也理解全篇的逻辑关系,并据此进行推理和判断。
5.既能根据所提供的信息去理解,也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。
根据这五项要求,我们可将阅读理解多项选择题归纳为以下几种题型:细节理解题,词句理解题,主题、主旨题,猜测词义题,推理判断题。下面是做英语阅读理解题的技巧与策略。
一、 先看题干,带着问题读文章。
即先看试题,再读文章。阅读题干,首先要掌握问题的类型,分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调,作者未加陈述的观点以及贯穿全文的中心主旨的理解等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位,再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比,有根有据地排除干扰项,选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率,节省了宝贵的时间。特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。
二、 速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读的目的是获取信息。一个人的阅读能力的高低决定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力。没有一定的阅读速度就不能顺利地输入信息,更谈不上运用英语。近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40个词左右。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
抓主题句这是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。用归纳法撰写的文章的主题句就是文章的最后一句。通常用演绎法撰写的文章主题句就是文章的第一句。当然也有些文章没有主题句,需要读者自己去归纳。主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用,主旨大意题,归纳概括题,中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。
试试看,你能找出下面一段文章的主题句吗?
The panda is a popular animal. Stories about the panda in the Washington Zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. Stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops.
不难看出,文章的第一句是主题句,后面的句子都围绕这个句子展开。
三、 详读细节,理顺思路与文章脉络。
文章绝不是互不相干的句子杂乱无章的堆砌。作者为文,有脉可循。如记叙文多以人物为中心,以时间或空间为线索,按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事;论述体则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素,通过解释、举例来阐述观点。你可根据文章的特点,详读细节,以动词、时间、地点、事件、因果等为线索,找出关键词语,运用"画图列表法",勾画出一幅完整清晰的文章主题和细节的认知图。
例如:SEFC 3A Feed the World(2)
本文通过四个不同的国家和地区,总结了世界饥荒的主要原因。运用图表,文章的结构和思路就一目了然了。
Reasons for world hunger
In EU: 1) Food is bought from farmers and thrown away.
2) Farmers are paid not to grow crops.
In India: Most land is owned by rich land owners.
In less developed countries: Farmers are forced to plant cash crops.
In western countries: Grain is fed to beef cattle.
四、 逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。这就是通常所说的深层理解。深层理解主要包括归纳概括题(中心思想,加标题等)和推理判断题,是阅读理解中的难点。深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。它必须忠实于原文;要以文章提供的事实和线索为依据,立足已知推断未知,不能凭空想象,随意揣测;它要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思,推理才有前提和基础。推理题在提问中常用的词有:
infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。
例如高考题:
Annealing
Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle-that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as it is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass.
1. Why do people put hot metal in water
A. To make it hard. B. To make it soft.
C. To make it cool. D. To make it brittle.
2. In annealing, the required hardness of metal depends on __.
A. the quantity of water used B. the temperature of the metal
C. the softness of the metal D. the timing of the operation
3. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle
A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly.
B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly.
C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly.
D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly.
1、答案为A,此题属推断归纳题。文中第二句说如果把金属加热,然后迅速放到水里冷却,也就会变得非常硬,但也变得脆。hard 是工艺的主观目的。brittle是伴随的客观结果,故选A而不选D。B项明显错误;C项是手段不是目的,因此,都可排除。
2、答案为D,此题属概括归纳题。timing 是时间的选择。本答案的依据是5和6两句,"The metal is heated,…length of time.", "The longer…the softer it becomes. "cool 的时间是可以控制的,时间越长越 soft,即硬度就越低。由此我们可得出结论:在退火过程中,金属的硬度是受到冷却的时间长短影响的。
3、答案为C此题属推理判断题。文中提到"metal"。最后一句说退火工艺同样可用于象玻璃一类的其他材料。文中我们已知"annealing"就是先"heat"后"cool slowly"。由此推断C是正确的。
五、 猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中常用的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
a. 定义法
如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子给予annealing 以明确的定义,即"退火"。
It will be very hard but also very brittle------that is , it will break easily.
从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是"脆"的意思。
The herdsman , who looks after sheep, earns about 650yuan a year.
定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为"牧人"。
b 同位法
如:
They traveled a long way , at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.
同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义,即"城堡"。
We are on the night shift----from midnight to 8 a.m.---this week.
两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift 是"夜班"的意思。
c. 对比法
She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.
but 一词表转折,因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天"第一节上了一半才来",因此反向推理,可得出她平时一向"准时"的结论。
d. 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)
Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred
possibility 是 possible 的同根名词, 据此可以判断定 possibility 意思是"可能性"。
e. 因果法
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken。Sometimes the weakness was permanent。So the player could never play the sport again.
从后面的结果"永远不能再运动"中,可以推测 permanent 的意思为"永远的,永久的"。
六、 养成习惯,潜移默化结硕果。
良好的阅读习惯:
1、养成默读习惯,使注意力集中的文字符号上,纠正唇读,心读,喉读等做法,以免分散精力,影响阅读速度。
2、克服指读、回视、重读等不良习惯,因为这样容易使理解只停留在某个词或句子上,使获得的信息支离破碎。要善于抓住句子中的核心词,从一个句子快速地扫视到另一个句子,进行连贯性理解。如:
"Would you like to do some shopping together with me If you are free, please ring me back to tell me about it."
这个句子,只要扫视划线的核心词,其语义就基本上清楚了。
英语阅读能力的培养是一个渐进的复杂过程,要养成每天阅读英语的习惯,循序渐进,持之以恒,精泛结合,广泛猎奇。在潜移默化中你会感觉到你的阅读能力又有了长足的提高。

One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “ .”
Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.
It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.
Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.
The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3", on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hung’s response “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s interesting, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing, the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high, the terrible dancing, the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.
But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”
Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.
So, what does Hung think of this
“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”
Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.
6.What is the main idea of this passage
A.Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.
B.Hung's performance attracted the public eye.
C.How an unsuccessful person became famous.
D.Success sometimes does not require hard work.
7.Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________
A.his shirt and pants     B.his off-key singing
C.his jerking hips      D.his excellent version
8.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to
A.William Hung.      B.Hung's bad performance.
C.Hung’s website.     D.The public’s opinion.
9.Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung
a.The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.
b.The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest.
c.Hung became popular among Americans.
d.Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.
e. Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.
A.d, b, e, c, a B.a, c, d.b, e  C.a, d, b, c, e  D.d, b, a, e, c
10.Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America
A.His success was based on luck rather than his own hard work.
B.He attracted people’s attention and won wide praise in the contest.
C.He was good-looking in his pants and shirt though he didn’t sing well.
D.In the contest he did what every one of us is happy to do in daily life.总课时数 39-40 科目 高三英语 使用时间

Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world
In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾). A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps.
Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.
1. Yellow is concerned with anger in _______.
A. Russia B. Britain C. Germany D. China
2. The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______.
A. pronunciation B. climate C. logical relationship D. custom

A. black is the color of mourning
B. a black-coated worker is employed in an office
C. red stands for beauty and excellence
D. a redcap is a porter in a station

A. The Origin of Blue Blood
B. The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors

How would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake Dolphins sleep this way. Recently , scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.
After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open ,apparently looking for predators.
“The more the ducks felt threatened ,the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg ,a graduate student at Indiana State University ,Terre Haute .”the unique aspect is not that they do it ,but that they control it . When they sleep at the edge of a group ,they tend to realize greater danger ,so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators ,said the authors of the study ,which appears today in the journal Nature.
The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes ,which were arranged in a row .Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.
Also ,ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.
6.It was discovered that .
A.most people would like to be half asleep
B.ducks can sleep half awake
C.dolphins sleep on their way
D.ducks have different sleeping habits from each other
7.A predator is most likely to be .

Many new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves putting off reading assignment, jumping from subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work. Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour working week (a reasonable figure, leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities).
You now have to decide how to divide the remaining 25 hours of private study. Naturally the decisions you make will change from week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a seven-day timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working privately and the particular subjects that will be studying on each occasion. By checking such a plan at times during the week, you can see what you have done and what you have still to do: the whole plan becomes more manageable. There are a number of places where you can study—college library, public library, home, empty classrooms, on bus or train—and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages. The college library is least busy in the evening, on Wednesday afternoon, and all day Friday and Saturday.
When you are deciding where to study, keep the following suggestions in mind:
1. Try to study always in the same place. After a while the familiar surroundings will help you to switch into the right frame of mind as soon as you sit down.
2. Find somewhere with as few distractions as possible.
3. Make sure that your study place has a good light and is warm (but not too warm ) and well aired.
11. Many new students find it hard .
A. to make a good start B. to study efficiently

A. how many hours he is awake B. how many subjects are required
C. how many lectures he misses D. what he has to write and read that week
14. A student is advised to make a weekly plan and to check it from time to time in order to __________.
A. see whether he has calculated it properly B. see what day of the week is

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary,both their knowledge and experience are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班)pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides,it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full,not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills and we find that mixed—ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms,we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups:this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate to share,and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think.to make decisions,to analyze and evaluate,and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
Sometimes the pupils ;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments,and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library,and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work:it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Here are a few tips to help you, the workaholic, re - focus and get the best out of life.
EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest.Don't believe that you can always "catch some sleep or rest later." Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.
STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS! Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time.And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it's work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays
GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach.Workaholics are known to be food - skippers.If you can't afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you.It's always a good idea if you have crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs.
WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise.Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non - stop isn't going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs.Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it's even more important that you get some exercise.
WORK TO LIVE! Always keep in mind that you work so you can live and have a comfortable life.Always remember that you don't live to work.Working is just one of the many useful and fruitful activities you do that enables you to live a good life and gives your family their needs.Don't make work your life.
If you start following the tips outlined today, then you've just taken the first step to________!
1.What is the best title for the passage (Please answer within 10 words)
2.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one
Taking exercise can make you in good condition and endless work will does harm to your health.

Our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper,and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron,she read it,and this is what it said:

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱).
Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew(旋开) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled(爬行) clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.

Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake. But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers.
Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. During sleep your temperature drops. Your heart rate slows. Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins. A chemical that controls growth (called a hormone) surges(汹涌) into your bloodstream. Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune (免疫) system. We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are hooked up(接通) to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.
Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different periods, or stages. When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly. As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings. As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (机警), and your dreams begin. You're in REM sleep.
REM was names for the "rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were flashing a movie. During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still. That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active.
Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours’ sleep a night.
11. What does the word "recommend" in the last paragraph mean
A. suggest. B. ask. C. wish. D. order
12. Sleep has many advantages except ______.
A. improving your mood B. making you strong
C. helping you study D. practicing your eyes
13. During your sleep time, ______.
① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life
② your brain produces slower-moving waves
③ your dream begins
④ you loose awareness of surroundings
Please choose the right order:
A. ① ③ ② ④ B. ② ④ ① ③
C. ④ ① ③ ② D. ④ ③ ① ②
14. Suppose this is the course of your sleep, in which part of the course do you have dreams
(A: light sleep B: deep sleep C: light sleep D: the whole course)

今年年初我国政府对法定节假日作出如下调整:
1. 五一节由3天调整为1天.
2. 清明节(Tomb-sweeping Day )、端午节(Dragon Boat Festival )、中秋节增设为国家法定节假日(legal holidays).
假如你是王平,是江苏省南京市育才中学高三8班学生。最近,你班举行了一个班会,对此法定节假日调整进行了一次热烈的讨论,讨论结果如下:
75% 学生支持 25%学生反对
理由:1.作为一个有着五千多年悠久历史的古国,我们的传统节日是中华民族文化遗产的一部分;2. 每个传统节日都有着它的特定的含义。如每年农历五月初五端午节之际,人们以包粽子、赛龙舟的方式纪念古代大诗人屈原。清明节,人们以不同方式祭祖或向已故亲人好友和英雄寄托哀思、表达崇敬之情。 理由:1. 五一黄金周的取消使很多人尤其是年轻人不能去长途旅游;三天时间度假不够尽兴。 2. 黄金周的取消对于旅游业是个不小的损失。
今天是6月8日,正好是端午节, 你的美国笔友Jack想了解有关中国节假日方面的情况,请根据以上内容,用英语给他写一封完整的英文信,向他介绍我国节假日的调整情况及你们班学生对此的不同意见,并就此调整谈谈你自己的看法.(至少两点)
参考词汇: 粽子: zongzi; 黄金周: golden week;取消:cancellation n.

Class 8, Senior 3 , Yucai High School
Nanjing ,Jiangsu China
June 8,2008
Dear Jack,
I’m writing to tell you something about the adjustment of our legal holidays .
The new holiday plan cuts May Day holiday from three days to one day and for the first time adds a day each ---the Tomb-sweeping Day , the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival to the list of legal holidays.
Recently our class has held a heated discussion about the adjustment .
Three quarters of the students are in favour of it . Their reasons are as follows. Firstly , as an ancient country with a history of over 5,000 years, traditional festivals represent part of the Chinese nation’s culture heritage. Secondly , every traditional festival has its special meaning. Take Dragon Boat Festival for example , people show great honor and respect for our ancient poet, Quyuan, in forms of wrapping and eating zongzi and holding dragon boat races. Another traditional festival ,Tomb-sweeping Day also provides people with a chance to show mourning or respect to their ancestors ,late friends, relatives or heroes .
However , one fifth of the students in our class don’t think it necessary to make such an arrangement . In their opinion, the cancel of May Day Golden Week has made them unable to take a long travel . And people especially young people can’t enjoy themselves thoroughly in the short three-day holiday. Besides , the tourism industry has suffered a great loss as a result of the cancellation of the golden week.
As far as I’m concerned , the first adjustment is necessary . Although long holidays can contribute to the development of tourism , it causes all kinds of problems such as traffic jam and pollution. This new plan may solve these problems perfectly.
For my part , the second adjustment is much more meaningful than the first one. The three holidays are not only some traditions but also an important part of ancient Chinese cultures ,therefore, making these traditional festivals legal holidays will help protect folk customs and contribute to keeping them alive in the modern society where they are always forgotten.
Best wishes !
Yours ,
Wang Ping

I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day’s hard work.. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or scienc

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%)think our parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
While about 30%of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying..
Yours truly,

Ownership of Houses in a Big City in China
As can be seen from the chart, ownership of houses in a big city in China changed in the past ten years. In 1995, 75 percent of the houses were state-owned. Five years later, the rate of state-owned houses to private ones was 3 to 2. But from then on, the ownership of houses changed rapidly and so far 80 percent of houses have been private.
What caused the changes There might have been two main reasons. First, from 1995 up to now, the people's living standards have been improving. Most of them can afford to buy the houses. Second, most people do not save a lot of money in the bank for their children as their ideas of parents did in the past. They want to have their own home and enjoy life.
Such changes have had a great effect on the development of society. It does good to both the citizens and the government.

Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter and the photo of your family.Now I am writing to tell you why I am the only child in my family.
As you know, the population of China is growing very fast.In order to control the rapid increase of population,in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family programme---- one child for each couple.As a result, most families have only one child.The child in the family can get more love from the family and chances to get better education. On the other hand,the only child is selfish, and not so independent.Sometimes they feel lonely.I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more friends.
Hope that we write more often.
Best wishes!

We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
About 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn’t worry about the future. It is said, especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.

体会 只有有恒心(perseverance),就一定成功
This afternoon we had a P.E lesson. Our teacher led us to practise long jump.When the bell rang.we gathered on the playground. After the warming-up exercises,the teacher told us the way of long jump and gave us an example. Then we followed the teacher and practised one after another. Soon came my turn and I felt nervous. I failed the fist time,but I wasn't discouraged.I kept on thinking the teacher's words and practising. At last I managed to jump over three meters.
From this class I come to realize that one can succeed if he has perseverance.

My First Visit to China
As a famous British professor, I was invited to visit China and give lectures there at the end of October in 2000. During my visit, I was warmly welcomed everywhere. During that period, I gave lectures, visited several middle schools and universities, and visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and some other places of interest.
After returning to Britain, I will tell my friends and my family that China is a country with the largest population in the world, and that she has achieved great progress. The “open-to-the-word” policy has done much good to ChinA.
I hope I will be given a chance to visit China for the second time.

One possible version:
Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a senior student of our school. I'd like to say something about the canteen service in our school.
In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What's more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy.
However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high, Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

近期,中学聘请外教之风愈演愈烈,请你结合下表对其利弊发表自己的观点。
好处 1. 提高学校的知名度。2. 提高学习英语的兴趣,口语表达能力增强。3. 更好地了解外国文化。
弊端 1. 花费高。2. 一些外国人难以适应我国的生活方式,甚至担心自己的安全。3. 外国人不了解中国学生的特点。
自己的观点 一切需要靠自己
注意:1. 词数:100左右 2. 短文应包括表中所有要点
3. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯 4. 开头及结尾已给出
Several years ago, when a foreigner appeared in China, many people would gather around and stared at him or her as if they were watching a rare animal.
However, it’s not uncommon to meet some foreigners even in middle schools now. There’s no doubt that schools will be better known. What’s more, it’s good for students to develop interest in English study as well as learn more about foreign cultures. Meanwhile, their oral English will be improved a lot. On the other hand, some foreigners, though well paid, find it difficult to get used to the way of life in a foreign country and they sometimes worry about their safety. The most important thing is that they are not quite familiar with the students. As a result, many students can’t benefit from them.

课题名称 情景交际
学习目标: 对一些常用的日常用语的应用
学习的重点难点: 总结高考题,做到举一反三
考题例析
1.—Would you like to join me for a quick lunch before class
— ,but I promised Nancy to go out with her. (08全国Ⅰ21)
A.I’d like to B.I like it C.I don’t D.I will
答案 A解析 考查I’d like to do sth.这一结构。简略答语中省略动词,只保留动词不定式符号。
2.—Sorry,I made a mistake again.
— .Practice more and you’ll succeed. (08全国Ⅰ35)
A.Never mind B.Certainly not C.Not at all D.Don’t mention it
答案 A 解析 Never mind.意为“不要紧,没关系。”
3. —Do you know Anna’s telephone number (08全国Ⅱ6)
— .As a matter of fact,I don’t know any Anna,either.
A.I think so B.I’m afraid not C.I hope so D.I’d rather not
答案 B解析 本题考查情景交际。句意为:——您知道安娜的电话号码吗?——恐怕不知道。事实上我也不认识什么安娜。根据As a matter of fact,I don’t know any Anna,either,可知回答时应用否定形式故排除A、C两项;I’d rather not宁愿不……,不符合题意。I’m afraid not恐怕不,符合题意。
4. —Could I ask you a rather personal question
—Sure, . (08全国Ⅱ10)
A.pardon me B.go ahead C.good idea D.forget it
答案 B解析 本题考查情景交际。句意为:——我能问你一个私人问题吗?——当然,问吧。go ahead强调鼓励、允许别人去做某事。
5. — I just can’t stop worrying about the result of the job interview.
—_____. There’s nothing you can do now but wait. (08天津3)
A. Relax B. Go ahead C. Go for it D. Good luck

6. —How much do I owe you for lunch
—______. It’s nothing. (08天津9)
A. You’re welcome B. Forget it C. With pleasure D. That’s right
答案 B 解析 由下句It’s nothing.可知,应为“不要把它放在心上”,即Forget it.。
7. —Good evening. Huangshan Hotel.
—Good evening.___ (08安徽34)
A.Do you still have a room for tonight B.What would you like,please
C.Is there anything I can do for you D.Who is that speaking,please

—Oh, dear! (08江西21)
A.Who cares B.No problem. C.I don’t mind at all. D.Is it as bad as that

9. —The floor is dirty. Can anyone clean it
— I do it all the time. (08陕西18)
A. Don’t mention it. B. Why you C. Not sure. D. Not me again.
答案 D解析 由答语中的I do it all the time.可知此时说话人应当提出异议,故应用D项,表示“不能再是我了”。
10. —Let’s go for a walk in the garden.
— ,but I need to do the washing up. (08四川5)
A.No,thank you B.That’s right C.Good idea D.Not at all
答案 C解析 句意为:——我们去花园散步吧。——好主意。但我需要洗餐具。由上句“Let’s…”可知某人提出建议做某事,那么下句应为顺应关于建议的答语。No,thank you属“谢意”表达; That’s right.在交际表达中用于回答对别人观点的认同,相当于Yes.;Not at all用于回答感谢。
11. —Can you show me Mr.Jaffer’s office,please
— .But I don ’t know if he is in at the moment. (08四川13)
A.Thanks B.Go on C.Sure D.You are welcome
答案 C解析 句意为:——你能给我指一下杰弗先生的办公室吗?——当然。但我不知道他现在是否在里面。选Sure当然(=Certainly=Of course),最符合交际场景。Thanks表“谢意”;Go on继续;You are welcome用以回答“感谢”。
12. —May I ask a question after class,Sir
— ,but not during my lunch break. (08重庆28)
A.I’m sorry B.Anytime C.Certainly D.Go ahead
答案 C解析 应先对May I ask... 进行作答,然后又有限制,因此应用Certainly。
13. —I am afraid I can’t return the book to you before Friday.
— . (08重庆34)
A.Don’t be afraid B.Be careful C.Not at all D.Take your time
答案 D解析 take one’s time 不用急,慢慢来。
14. —Are you all right (08浙江1)
— ______.
A.That’s OK B.I think so C.Take it easy D.It’s very kind of you
答案 B解析 That’s OK用来回答Thank you.; Take it easy指别紧张; It’s very kind of you指你真是太好了。句意为:——你好吗?——还行吧。
15. —Shall we go out for dinner tonight
—______.(08浙江20)
A.You are right B.It must be funny
C.That sounds great D.Have a nice time

16. —Would you like to join us in the game (08福建35)
— ,for I have something important to attend to.
A.I will B.I’d love to C.I won’t D.I’m afraid not
答案 D解析 后半句I have something important to attend to暗示了前半句要委婉拒绝。I won’t所表示的拒绝太直白,不符合英美人说话的习惯。
17. —Did you have a good time in Thailand last week
— ______, it was too hot. (08辽宁21)
A. Not really B. Yeah, why not C. Oh, great D. You’re right
答案 A解析 句意为:——你上周在泰国玩得开心吗?——不是很开心,天气太热了。根据上下文的逻辑关系,应选Not really不是,不完全是。Yeah,why not是的,为什么不呢?;Oh,great噢,太伟大了;You’re right你说对了,显然B、C、D三项与下文不符。
18. —My name is Jonathan. Shall I spell it for you
—______.(08辽宁34)
A.If you don’t mind B.Not at all C.Take it easy D.Nice to meet you
答案 A解析 句意为:——我叫Jonathan。要我拼读一下吗?——如果你不介意的话。If you don’t mind符合语境。Not at all一点也不;Take it easy慢慢来;Nice to meet you见到你很高兴,都不正确。
19. —Do you mind if I record your lecture
— .Go ahead. (08江苏22)
A.Never mind B.No way C.Not at all D.No.You’d better not
答案 C解析 由答语Go ahead.可知,表示“一点也不介意”,故用Not at all.。
20. —I can’t repair these until tomorrow,I’m afraid.
—That’s OK,there’s . (08江苏25)
A.no problem B.no wonder C.no doubt D.no hurry
答案 D解析 由句意“恐怕我得到明天才能修好这些东西。”“没关系,不着急。”可知,应选no hurry。
21.—It shouldn’t take long to clear up after the party if we all volunteer to help. (08江苏26)
—That’s right. .
A.Many hands make light work B.Something is better than nothing
C.The more the merrier D.The sooner begun,the sooner done
答案 A解析 句意为:——晚会后如果我们都主动帮忙的话,那就不会花很长时间来打扫干净。——是的,人多好办事。Many hands make light work符合句意;Something is better than nothing意为:有比没有好;聊胜于无;The more the merrier意为:人越多越乱;The sooner begun,the sooner done意为:开始越早,
完成得越早。
22. —Say,Jane,will you come with me to the game Friday
— ,Bob,but I promised Mary I’d go with her. (08山东30)
A.My pleasure B.Thanks C.Take it easy D.Forget it
答案 B解析 句意为:——Jane,星期五你能和我一起去看比赛吗?——谢谢,Bob,但是我已答应Mary和她一起去了。My pleasure不用谢;Thanks别着急;Forget it不要放在心
23. —Thank you for your MP4 player. I’ll get Mary to take it to you soon.
—___________. I’ve bought a new one. (09江西21)
A. No sense B. No hurry C. No way D. No use
答案 B 解析 考查交际用语。由“我已经买了一个”,便知是No hurry, 不着急。
24. —May I open the window to let in some fresh air
—___________(09四川1)
A. Come on B. Take care C. Go ahead! D. Hold on!
答案 C 解析 根据语境可以知道:去开吧,去做吧。所以答案为:C。容易误选A。come on 的意思是“算了吧!加油!”
25. -It looks heavy. Can I give you a hand
- . (09海南21)
A. No, thanks B. Yes, my pleasure
C. No, never mind D. Yes, I do

26.
—Poor Steve! I could hardly recognize him just now!

A. Never mind B. No problem C. Not at all D. Me neither

28. —Have you finished your first paper
— . Just half of it. How about you (09陕西19)
A. Not at all B. Not likely C. Not a bit D. Not yet
答案 D 解析 交际用语。Not at all:一点也不,根本不;not likely:不可能;not a bit:非常,很,极其;not yet:还没有。根据应答句中的just half of it可知此处D。
29. —Would you please help me with the box
—_________(09四川9)
A. Yes, please B. No, please don’t C. With pleasure D. My pleasure
答案 C 解析 情景交际,在英语中对于别人提出的帮助请求,通常用with pleasure(非常乐意)回答,my pleasure用来表示你帮对方做了某事后,别人向你表示感谢的用语,意思是“这是我乐意做的”。
考生在解题时要注意一些几点:1.注意中西文化及思维方式的差异;2.注重礼貌和合作优先原则;3. 利用有效的语境因素;4.注意语言的衔接;5. 注意言语含义;6.防止上词下用,上词下用指的是答句部分延用了题干句子的重点词、信息词,按表层意思似乎合情合理,但往往为错误的“虚像”,需经进一步分析后才能确定正确选项;7.防止中文思维,与上词下用比较,这一误区更具迷惑力,因为无论按题目内容或是按思维方式来考虑,都非常符合中国学生的习惯。显然,掌握英汉两种语言和文化之间的相同和相异之处,对于准确解题至关重要。学生解题失误之一是按汉语的表达方式和结构去套英语,去选答案,这属于语言知识的“负迁移”,这主要是指在对方要求得到帮助,提出请求或邀请时,回答过于直接,不够委婉,尽管从语义角度分析是没毛病的,但不符合英语国家的交际习惯。8.防止直接回绝,这主要是指在对方要求得到帮助,提出请求或邀请时,回答过于直接,不够委婉,尽管从语义角度分析是没毛病的,但不符合英语国家的交际习惯;9.防止答非所问,应该说答非所问的错误比较容易察觉,如果问话与答话的内容风马牛不相及的话,学生可以迅速排除。但有时双方会话内容有所关联,但仔细推敲发现其实答语并不切题。最典型的例子是With pleasure和It’s a pleasure。前者一般在事前回答 ,表示“非常愿意”。后者一般在事后回答,表示“不用客气”。

Should Science and Arts Education Be Separated
The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads across the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes.
About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge. With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand. However, another 43% of them insist that they should be separated so that students can concentrate on some subjects and become experts. Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.
As far as I’m concerned, a comprehensive education is better than a separated one. A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and the society as a whole. Worldwide, only in China science and arts are separated, which has had a bad effect on students’ sound development. It's high time we changed this model.

Happiness
Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have a lot of money they will be happy, because they think they will be able to do anything they want to do and buy anything they want with the money. Some students think that they should be in good health so that they can enjoy their life better. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can own everything. I don’t really agree with the above points. I don’t think money means happiness. We can’t buy many important thins with money, such as health, happiness, and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge.
Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.

Robert Burns, a famous Scottish poet, was born into a poor farmer’s family. Although he only received two and a half years’ schooling , he managed to read a large number of poems and novels in his spare time. His first collection of poems was completed in 1786. Once published, it attracted the attention of readers and poets because of its simple style. And soon Burns’ works stood out among other Scottish poems at that time. Despite his short life, he wrote many poems and contributed greatly to the development of English literature. His poem, A Red, Red Rose, has been translated into many languages and is liked by people throughout the world.

Generally speaking, top brand products are no doubt better than nameless ones, but not everyone can afford them.
As students, we don’t earn money ourselves. It’s not easy for our parents to support us. So I use whatever they choose for me now. We can’t add to their loads.
Some students like to show off their top brand products, but they can’t gain real respect and admiration from that. However, real respect admiration belongs to those who study hard and have good virtues.
Many top brands have something to do with sports, but it is not because you wear top brand products that you can win the match, so in my opinion, there is no need to care so much about the brands of what you swear.

May I have your attention, please Our school has arranged a lecture /report for us Senior One teachers and students.

You can get to the park by freeway /express, by park shuttle or by subway. Please be on time.

My hometown, neighboring / neighbors with / bordering on HongKong, is located in Guangdong Province of China. It has a history of more than 300 years and a population of two million. With its highly – developed economy, the people in my hometown are leading a happy life. It offers children modern education and 90% of the high school leavers are admitted to universities. Every year the picturesque scenery attracts lots of visitors from home and abroad.

Dear classmates, I think it is very necessary for us to talk about friendship at the meeting today.
As a member of society, we need friends and friendship. Healthy friendship may help people get on well and benefit one another. On the contrary, unhealthy friendship may bring about bad things. For example, some so-called friends bully others in the school; they often smoke or drink together; they never point out each other’ s mistakes. Such deeds are against school rules. In fact, they are doing harm to their friends. In my opinion, friendship should be based on the love of our class. Friends should help each other with study or in making progress. What’s more, we should encourage each other, never cover up each other’s mistakes, so that we may learn well and achieve great success.
9.
In China, more and more people own their cars and traffic accidents happen frequently, which has a bad effect on the whole society. In view of the existing situation, we held a heated discussion on it.
We all share the opinion that the cause of accidents is mainly due to careless drivers who don’t follow the traffic laws and regulations. Could you imagine what will happen for a heavy drinker if he drives his car at a high speed The injuries and possible deaths will give him an unforgettable lesson, let alone the compensation to be paid. It is obvious to us that crowded roads lead to traffic accidents as well.
In conclusion, we suggest that people should make sense of traffic law and regulations and strengthen their awareness of safety.

Our Life in the Future

We can do almost everything at home.For example,we can log on line to read newspapers,pay telephone bills,do shopping and even see a doctor at home.To protect the environment,all cars will be powered by electricity,solar energy or wind so that we will have a tidy and green world.What’S more,people can travel in space.It will be very easy for us to visit other stars。such as the moon and the Mars.Almost any disease can be cured and people can enjoy a healthier and longer life.

阅读表达题的解题方法与技巧
阅读表达题是自2007年开始高考试题中增加的一种新的测试题型,要求考生在阅读所给短文,然后按照题目要求回答文后的五个问题,每个问题3分,总分15分。该题型的测试目的是从多方位多角度考查考生通过阅读获取信息、处理信息并进行书面表达的能力。比传统的阅读理解题型更具综合性和主观性,更能体现对考生的 综合语言运用能力的考查。
1、主旨概括:主要考查考生对文章内容的整体把握能力。要想答好该题,考生必须有很强的概括能力或归纳能力,要善于寻找能够概括全文的主题段落或者主题句,剔除文中的细节事实或者作者所用的论据,即要分清主旨和细节,概括出来的中心意思一定要能够覆盖全文或整个段落,绝对不可太笼统离题太远或者以偏概全;文中标题格式可以是完整的句子,简洁的短语,也可以用问题的形式,同时要注意字数要求。具体的表达可以先根据文章内容找出关键词,再在此基础上确定文章标题或者文章的main idea。
2、同义句替换:只有准确理解所给句子的意义,才能准确快速地找出原文中意义相同的句子。
3、填空:回答此类问题时,一定首先注意弄清楚上下文的逻辑关系,如递进、转折、并列、对比、因果等等;然后根据上下文的含义搞清楚空白处该填句子还是短语或者单词,再读上下文,最后确定答案。
4、翻译句子:在该类题目中要求翻译的句子往往是结果较为复杂或者包括一些特定习语的句子。因此再翻译之前一定要先分析句子结构,并结合文章中心思想以及上下文弄清句子所在的语境,同时还要注意英、汉两种语言及其问题特征的差异,最后在忠实于原文的基础上,把画线部分的句子翻译成符合汉语表达习惯的句子。
5、封闭性问题:封闭性问题是指答案是固定或唯一的问题,一般可在文章中找到明确的答案或依据,包括常见的wh-questions。
6、开放性问题:开放性问题是阅读表达中主观性最强的试题,要求考生结合个人的观点、经验来回答相关问题。
下面通过一篇阅读表达实例对各种类型问题的答题技巧进行说明。
An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up, if the sender wasn’t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn’t be that important, my friend is now even more senior in the same company so the strategy must work.
Almost every week now there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
_________. Firstly, you junk nothing with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any address you don’t recognize or feel confident about.
Secondly, e-mails don’t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there’s a tendency for
correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.
Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn’t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long, chatty e-mail, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a better reply.
1.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails
___________________________________________________________________
2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words )
___________________________________________________________________
3.What advice is given in the last paragraph (within 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________
4.For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1 (within 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
____________________________________________________________________
答案与解析:
1.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails
1. 答案:If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
解析:该题为同意句替换题,细读所给句子,不难得出其意义“这些令人恼火的情况之所以存在,是因为我们没有对电子邮件进行分类的能力”。然后对照原文,就很容易找到其同意句了。
2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words )
2. 答案:E-mail(s) can be handled in the following ways. / Here are the ways to deal with e-mail(s). / handling e-mail(s) is an art.
解析:该题为填空题。做该类题目首先要根据上下文搞清楚所填内容是句子还是短语或单词。从该题要求来看我们可以知道此处要填入合适的句子。联系上下文可知,下文所列三条都是处理电子邮件的方法,那就不难知道,此处所填句子内容应该是一个概括性较强的topic sentence,这样我们就不难知道该填什么内容了。
3.What advice is given in the last paragraph (within 10 words)
3. 答案:You may reply to a long e-mail briefly./ You don’t have to write a long reply e-mail.
解析:该题为封闭性问题,要求答出最后一段所给的建议。做这种类型的题目时,首先要读懂该段要告诉读者的是什么信息,然后根据要求进行总结,因为有字数限制,所以答题时要特别注意如何用词和如何组织语言。从最后一段的第一句我们就可以知道这条建议是告诉读者“在回复e-mail时,不必和对方来信的长度一样”。其实这句话就是该问题的答案,但是由于有字数限定,我们就必须改变一下说法,使答案的字数控制在10个单词以内,这样就可以避免学生照抄原文,从而达到考察学生灵活运用语言能力的目的。
4.For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1 (within 10 words)
4. 答案:To show a way of handling e-mail(s) with an example. / To introduce the topic of the text.
解析:该题属于其他类型的题目,要求考生写出作者在第一段中提到他美国朋友的写作意图。纵观全文不难知道,该短文的主旨是向读者介绍处理电子邮件的方法。而作者在第一段引用他美国朋友处理邮件的方法做为例子,目的正是为了揭示文章主题。
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
5. 答案:用简短的话回复冗长的邮件完全不失礼节。/ 用简短的话回复马拉松式的电子邮件也是礼貌的。
解析:该题为句子翻译题。做该题时应先分析句子成分,搞清每个意群的含义,然后结合上下文以及文章的中心思想,调整成符合汉语表达习惯的通顺的汉语句子。翻译该句,关键是搞清处两个短语的含义,一个是within the bound of (在…范围内), 另一个是in responding to (作答,回复)

Walking is a popular form of exercises. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercises.
Regular, brisk walks helps a person’s body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. The lungs work better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help __________, too. A quick fifteen-minute walk burns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the time. Walking causes very few injuries. So there is also a lower “dropout” rate among walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This gives a better chance for success.
Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have a better attitude about life.
Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.
★ Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often.
★ People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields and malls are excellent places for walking.
★ People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn’t need a team or a partner for walking. There is no “season” for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
★ Walking doesn’t cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking shoes and comfortable clothes are the only equipment that a walker needs.

In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.?
“We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We’ re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”?
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog’s food takes about 0.84 hectares — or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.?
Convincing flesh eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non starter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.?
The book’s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.?
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet’s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said.?
“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.?
“It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”
56. The authors gave their book the playful title to________.
A. make it amusing B. create a vivid image
C. show writing skills D. arouse people’ s concern
57. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.
A. the amount of consumed land
B. the neglected ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures
58. What does “sustainability” mean according to the passage
A. Going vegetarian.
B. Raising cats and dogs.
C. Using a cloth bag.
D. Keeping a greener life.
59. Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals
A. Manufacturers. B. Drivers.
C. Animal fans. D. The authorities.
60. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring. C. Inviting. D. Touching.

Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.
Winston Salem is one of them. It’s a mid-sized city in what’s called the plateau(high land), between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It’s home to the nation’s biggest open air tobacco market.?
The giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s headquarters is in Winston Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds’ best-known cigarette brands. Fast growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.?
From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it’s called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.?
Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women’s work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation’s oldest boarding schools for young women— the Moravians’ Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation. ?
Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what’s called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.?
The historic community is booming again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.
61. From the passage we can know that____________.
A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city
B. Salem is home to the tobacco market
C. the city Winston-Salem has two names
D. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand
62. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.
A. the two cities benefited each other
B. Salem developed faster than Winston
C. R.J. Reynolds Company has moved into Salem
D. the combination meets the wishes of the people
63. The city Salem is special for its__________.
A. boarding school B. lifestyle and tradition
C. respect for brainpower D. religious belief
64. The underlined word “rehabilitate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “___”.
A. reconstruct B. evaluate C. enlarge D. decorate
65. What will probably be talked about in the following part
A. Some other attractions in Winston-Salem.
B. How Winston makes profits from tourism.
C. Other examples of cities combined by two parts.
D. Something about the boarding school for women.

Poorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middle-class peers (同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said today. The Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ annual conference.?
Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons.?
He told delegates (代表) in Manchester: “For children who come from homes where parents don’t have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer.”?
“Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives,” he said. He held up the example of Kipp (Knowledge is Power Program) schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 7:30 am to 5pm on weekdays, plus Saturdays.?
But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added. ?
Parents said Saturday classes could become a “badge of dishonor” if pupils were forced to go, while teachers raised concerns about their workload.?
Margaret Morrissey, of Parents Outloud, said: “I think the suggestion the government made about one-to-one teaching for these kids would be a more preferable way of improving these children’s performance. I’m just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week.”?
The ATL’s general secretary, Mary Bousted, said: “If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer.”
66. The program is intended for children____________.
A. who are from middle-class families
B. whose parents can’t afford extra help
C. who perform poorly academically
D. whose weekends are mostly unoccupied
67. “Additional stretch” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_________.

D. out-of-school improvement
68. Why did Gove mention Kipp schools in the US
A. To make a comparison.
B. To introduce a new program.
C. To seek supportive evidence.
D. To prove his program is better.
69. What is Margaret Morrissey’s opinion about the new program
A. Favourable. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Acceptable.
70. Which of the following is true

C. The program is already under way.
D. The program is popular with children.

Since the gene, called DAF-16 in worms, was found in many animals and in humans, the finding could open up new ways to affect aging, immunity(免疫)and resistance in humans, the scientists said.?
“We wanted to find out how normal aging is being governed by genes and what effect these genes have on other traits, such as immunity,” said Robin May of the University of Birmingham, who led the study.?
Populations across the world are aging at a surprising pace, bringing potentially big challenges for health and social care systems. A study by Danish scientists last year found that half of babies born in the rich world today will live to celebrate their 100th birthdays. Scientists are eager to find out how people age to try to develop drugs to help them stay healthier as their lives extend.?
“What we have found is that things like resistance and aging tend to go hand in hand,” May said in an interview.?
May’s team compared longevity, stress resistance and immunity in four related species of worm. They also looked for differences in the activity of DAF-16 in each of the four species, and found that they were all quite distinct.?
May said DAF-16 was active in most cells in the body and was very similar to a group of human genes called FOXO genes, which scientists believe play a role in the aging process.?
“The fact that subtle(微妙的)differences in DAF-16 between species seem to have such an impact on aging and health is very interesting and may explain how differences in lifespan and related traits have arisen during evolution,” May said.
71. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper
A. Education. B. Science. C. Entertainment. D. Culture.
72. According to May, ______.
A. resistance has a lot to do with aging
B. FOXO genes can be found in worms
C. genes play the same role in different species
D. new drugs will change the genes in older people
73. What can we know from the third paragraph ___
A. New ways have been found to affect aging.
B. Babies in the rich world will all live longer.
C. Present social care systems are poorly managed.
D. Aging populations are causing more challenges.
74. From the text we know that DAF-16.__
A. is a gene that is only found in worms
B. can make people live longer
C. has an effect on aging and immunity
D has been quite familiar to scientists
75. What can be the best title of the passage ___
A. Scientists Find Gene Linked to Aging
B. Population Aging Faster than Expected
C. How to Make People Live Longer
D. Gene Determines How Long We Live

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分, 共15分)?
阅读下面短文, 请根据短文后的要求进行答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。?
〔1〕The harmful effects on children were summed up last year in a report by the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine. Problems begin early, as the infants of depressed mothers cry more than other babies. They have greater fear of strangers and less tolerance for frustration. Starting in preschool and across all stages of childhood, they have more behavior problems at school and higher rates of depression and anxiety disorders.?
〔2〕By adolescence, children with depressed parents have poorer social relations than the teens of parents________, and they’ re more likely to be dependent on alcohol and drugs. Depression in parents also is linked to more behavior problems at school and higher rates of depression and anxiety disorders, according to studies in the report.?
〔3〕And some harmful effects of growing up with a depressed parent appear to remain into adulthood. A 20-year study on kids of depressed parents found that those with depressed parents suffered about three times the rate of anxiety disorders and depression by their 30s, and they were in poorer health than peers and much more likely to be dependent on drugs and alcohol. The study, believed to be the longest ever done, was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 2006. These effects may not only be long? lasting but also far-reaching. Serious depression affects about one in five American parents, and 15.6 million children live with an adult who has had major depression in the last year. ?
〔4〕As knowledge about the effects of parental depression has grown, so too has research into how to fight those effects. Studies suggest, for example, that changing destructive parenting practices and teaching children good coping strategies can make a big, positive difference in kids.

One possible version:
Dear Li Hua, ?
I feel greatly honored to be trusted with your personal affairs.?
I have to say that you are not alone when having trouble communicating with your parents. Almost everybody has it or had it when they were in their adolescence. Therefore, it’s a common problem shared by many, whose cause lies in what we call “generation gap”.?
As for my advice for you, first, don’t hide your feelings. You can make it a routine to share your thoughts with your parents. Second, convince them you have tried your best. It is not their fault to place high expectations on their child. I believe they will be satisfied with you as long as they know you have tried whatever you can to live up to their standard.?
Anyway, there is no one who love you more than your parents in the world. Whatever you are, they will always be there for you. Love them, and love can heal everything.?
Yours sincerely,

课题名称 书面表达专题三:写作训练
【专题要点】书面表达的体裁、题材、情景具有多样性、实用性。近年来,书面表达取材比较广泛,内容较为丰富,题材多为日常生活和一般交往所涉及的内容。体裁包括记叙文、说明文、应用文和议论文,命题的方式多种多样,主要有文字提示、图画提示和图表提示三种。
【学法指引】
一、遵循循序渐进原则
对书面表达题型的训练要从简单到复杂的顺序进行,可以从一些简单的看图作文-记叙文着手;可以从单句-复杂句着手;可以从单段-多段;从不分段到分段等着手对学生进行训练。
二、点拨技巧,事半功倍
分析高考要求和高考阅卷情况,在平时的训练中要让考生养成良好的做题习惯如:
1.养成审题的习惯
1)审题时要明确体裁,掌握格式
学生的书面表达往往存在不讲究逻辑、文体和格式的现象,所以很有必要让学生明确常见的几种文体和格式。就中学阶段,最常见的 文体有:应用文(书信、通知、日记、便条)、记叙文和说明文。近十年NMET书面表达内容题材不外乎上述三种文体。我们知道:中学教材的内容,涵盖了所有体裁,教师应该结合课文,分类按题材归纳,详细介绍并具体指导学生掌握各种文体的写作特点及格式。若是记叙文,要弄清事件的时间、地点、人物、原因和结果;若是说明文,要了解说明的主旨以及说明的顺序;若是以图画形式提供情景,即看图作文,首先应看懂每幅图的意思,还要弄懂几幅图之间的关系。
2)抓住要点,一一对应。
  能否找出覆盖主要内容所有要点是得高分的关键,高考的评分标准一般分五个档次,要点越齐全,得高分 的可能性就越大;反之,若欠缺要点或描述与表达内容要点无关的,得分当然低。一般要求找出5--6个要点,可先用汉语或用keywords列出,
2.养成谋篇布局,谨慎用词的习惯
1)谋篇布局是审题的结果,也是写好文章的关键。一篇优秀的文章都是层次分明,思路清晰,要求达到此标准,必须依据提示进行分段构思,合理布局。
2)选词造句,点石成金。
书面表达要求用100词左右写出包含5--6个要点的短文。从近几年高考英语参考答案看,一般都以8-10个句子组成一篇文章。若用较少于8句话来表达,则句子容易复杂冗长,容易失控;若用多于10句话来表述,则句子零乱与琐碎,文章缺乏整体感。且大多数用简单句,少数用并列句和复合句。
  因此,在教学中首先应对简单句五种基本句型以及“there be存在结构”等进行强化训练,然后对并列句、复合句进行适当的训练,使学生获得了扎实的句子结构基础知识,从而从根本上为迅速提高书面表达能力打下了扎实的基础;在平时训练中提醒学生在做题时,要善于避生就熟,当遇到某一难以直接表达的要点时,不妨变通一下,进行“曲线”表达。
3.养成合理安排,联句成文的习惯
书面表达不仅仅是“句子堆积”,要注意文章的连贯性和逻辑性。如何使文章上下衔接自然、紧凑。用好各种连接词,对写出一篇有“英语味”的文章很重要。要求学生按照合理的顺序或按一定的写作线索选用适应的连接词,将句子连珠成串,使各句连成结构紧凑、层次分明、语义连贯的短文。因此,在引导考生复习备考时,教师可介绍一些常用连接成分。如下面表格中是写作中经常用到的一些连接词:
4.养成检查修改,卷面整洁的习惯
做书面表达时,力求用词准确。作文写完后应认真阅读,检查文章中的拼写和标点错误、语法错误、逻辑错误等;检查词数是否符合要求;检查内容要点是否全面,删繁就简,使表达更加精炼,措词更加恰当。定稿后应认真誊写,要求书写规范、正确、美观,并保持卷面整洁。从参加高考阅卷者都有这样的体会:要在比较短的时间里,阅读完一篇作文,当看到那些字迹潦草卷面不整洁的,心情就特别烦,评分可能比想象的要低;而看到那些书写规范、卷面整洁的,就倍感爽心悦目,有可能得到比较高的分数,这也是情理之中的事情。因此,在训练时,学生要养成书写工整、规范 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 ),卷面整洁的习惯,在做高考题时,才不致书写潦草、卷面不整洁,从而导致丢失本来不该丢的分。

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, eve adults
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Film Festival tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln plete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.
The nine shorts to b shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “Alot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressure.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alter and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alter the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alters through cell phone and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alter system by carriers — telecommunication companies — is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alters.
There would be three types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving a terrorists attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats,” which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
61. What is the purpose of the approval plan
A. To warn people of emergencies via message.
B. To popularize the use of cell phone.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To promote the wireless industry.
62. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ______.
A. CTLA. B. the Warning Alert and Response Network
C. FCC D. federal regulators
63. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _______.

C. the carriers themselves D. the law of the United States
64. Which of the following is true of cell phone users

B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.
C. They must send the alerts to others.
D. They may choose the types of messages.

A. a child loses his way B. a university shooting happens
C. a natural disaster happens D, a terrorist attack occurs

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’ ”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘ We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.
Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
67. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.

69. What can we learn about their first shop

70. They decided to open a second store because they _________.

Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kids’ Yards — the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.
“We try to tell kids that it’s not OK to be lazy,” she explains, “You need to start being a response, environmentally friendly person now, right now, before you become a resource-sucking adult.”

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1]If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech ”Information Age” demands people who are flexible (灵活的)and who have good _______.
[2]There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.
[3]Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的)quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.
[4]Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.
76. What’s the main idea of the passage (Please answer within 10 words.)
Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one
For instance,a study showed that social science majors had held more important positions, compared to those technically trained students.

单项填空答案解析:
21. D 此题考查冠词的用法。题意为:学生们应该被鼓励把网络作为一种资源来利用。the internet 表示一类事物,a resource表示是资源的一种。
22. B 此题考查状语从句连词的选择。题意为:他发现读书越来越难了,因为他的视力正开始下降。从题意看,前后句应是因果关系。for引导原因状语从句,表示一种补充说明,通常与主句用逗号隔开。用作连词though意为尽管,but意为但是,转折关系,so意为所以,颠倒了因果关系。均可排除。
23. C 此题考查主语从句连词的选择。此题的关键在于看出she told me是插入语,从结构上不影响整个句子的表达。根据题意“她告诉我,对她来说最重要的是她的家庭”可知,第二个was 是整个句子的谓语动词。所选词须是连词用来引导主语从句。故可排除A,B。as不能引导主语从句,也可排除。what引导名词性从句在从句中做主语。
24. B 此题考查情态动词表示虚拟意义的用法。I don’t think…是否定前移。意为:我认为没有你我们本不能做成这件事的。此题关键是要根据句意知道是虚拟语气,其基本形式是情态动词(过去式)+have done,所以其他选项皆可排除。
25. C 此题考查动词时态。根据句意“截止到他意识到的时候,他已经走进了一个陷阱”以及by常和完成时连用可排除A,B。而且realize用一般现在时的单数第三人称形式,以及后句中用一般将来时,所以选C。
26. D 此题考查定语从句关系词的选择。此题关键是要根据句意看出是定语从句。句意为:我有时间和孩子们一起度过一天的机会很少。Occasions是先行词,所选关系词在定语从句中要做时间状语,故可排除其他选项。
27. C 此题考查不定代词的用法。理解句意是关键。题意为:在你离开前,确保你已有了护照,票等一切东西。Everything意为:所有,一切东西;something意为:某种东西;anything意为:任何东西;nothing意为:没有什么。皆可排除。
28. A 此题考查动词词义的区别.句意为“她永远不会道歉很大程度上说明了她是一个什么样的人”。A 项say意为“说明,表达,显示” ,B项talk 意为“谈论”,C 项appear意为“出现,显得…”D项declare 意为“宣布,声明”,语意都不合情境。
29. D 此题考查短语的用法。题意为:爱因斯坦如此喜欢玻色的论文以至于他把自己的工作置于一旁,把它翻译成德语。Set aside意为:不顾,把…置于一旁。give off意为发出,放出;turn down意为拒绝;take over意为接收, 接管。
30. B 此题考查情景对话。对于对方的邀请表示感谢并委婉拒绝。情景对话要从礼貌出发。My pleasure 相当于It’s my pleasure, 用于回答对方的感谢.Take it easy意为:别着急,慢慢来。Forget it意为:算了吧,别再提了,常用于回答别人的感谢和道歉。
31. C 此题考查状语从句连词的选择。理解句意是关键。题意为:你最好不要把药放在孩子们够得着的地方。Where 引导地点状语从句,意为:在…的地方。even if 意为:即使,尽管,引导让步状语从句;so that 意为:以至于,引导结果状语从句。Which不能引导状语从句。
32. A 此题考查固定短语。feel at home意为感觉自在,符合题意“当我看见一些熟悉面孔时,我在新学校开始感觉自在”。at heart意为:在内心里,at will意为:随意,任意,at sight:一见。
33. D 此题考查形容词词义的掌握。所用句型“It would be+adj. for sb. to do sth.”.题意为:你四点钟来接我并带我去机场方便吗?convenient意为:方便的,便利的。free:自由的,空闲的。vacant: 空白的. handy: 手边的, 就近的; 便于使用的.均可排除。
34. B 此题考查名词词义的掌握。题意为:我仅花10元买了一件甩卖的裙子;真是一件便宜货。bargain意为:廉价货,便宜货。exchange: 交换, 交流; trade:贸易;business: 商业, 买卖;事情。
35. A 此题考查非谓语动词的用法。关键在于根据句意分清句子成分。句意为:露丝的新工作付给她的钱是她在饭店工作是所赚钱的两倍。working 是had made 的伴随状语,和主语she 构成逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词做状语。可排除过去分词worked。不定式to work做状语常表示目的或结果。

47. A 因为下着大雨,所以应是“我”全身湿透了。与虚弱,疾病,受伤都不相关。

Dear LiMing,
I know you are now having trouble communicating with others, and you may often feel lonely. That’s because you are new here and people don’t know about you. But I think you can make it if only you can follow the advice below.
First, you should take an active part in the discussions and show your own opinions about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people’s views. Second, you should learn about your classmates' likes and dislikes. Then you can have much in
common with them. This way, you can get to know more different people and show them that you are just as friendly.Last but not least, I’m always here ready to help. we can take part in some activities together and I can introduce you to others.
With time going on, people will know you better and will like to make friends with you if you can do as the above.

课题名称 完形填空专题
【专题突破】
考生在做完形填空题时一般要有考虑四个线索:1.上下文的情节和文章;2.词汇的意义和用法;3.逻辑推理和常识;4.习惯用法和固定搭配。
当然这四个线索在解题过程中并非泾渭分明,多数题目需要综合几个方面的因素来考虑,一切以文章要求为准,使其复原。解题过程中要随时设想所遇到的空处应该出现的内容,然后再以该题所给的选项来验证自己的推测,然后做出必要的调整。具体解题方法如下:
1.通读全文,把握大意(粗读)
考生应该养成通读全文的习惯。在此过程中考生可不看选项,跳读全文,把握文章的整体结构,注意能体现文章大意的关键词、句,尤其要注意文章首句,它往往是文章的题眼和透视全文的关键。有的同学或急于求成,总想“一步到位”,或是由于原文设置的空格所造成的理解,障碍,担心通读文章不但抓不住大意反而浪费时间,未通览全文即边读边填,结果是就句论句,无法形成连贯的思路,或“见木不见林”,理解偏离文章的中心,
欲速则不达。
2.再读全文,透析文章(细读)
完形填空每个空格的四个选项并不是一种单纯的词汇辨析,因为从语法的角度看每个选项都是正确的。因此是否能恰如其分地传达文意才是选择最佳答案的唯一标准,要吃透文意,理解到位,大家应做到:
(1)瞻前顾后,注意上下文的内在逻辑关系;(2)不应简单互译,应注意英汉差别;(3)仔细研读细节,准确理解语境,克服定势思维;(4)明确表层意义,挖掘深层含义,做到“表里”如一。

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to __1__ in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the __2__ ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too __3__ for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of __4__.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there __5__ between you and Dad ” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She __6__ her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had _7_ her. I was _8__ and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it __9_, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt __10__. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen __11_, but it’s really there. Love is __12__.”
I listened carefully but I __13__ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly __14_ seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __15 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __16__ on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now ” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t __17__ me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”__18__ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and __19__. But from this experience, I understand that love is just __20__ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

When I turned to go back to __4__, I happened to glance into the compartment (车厢) next to mine. Sitting there was a man who many years before had been my neighbor.

整体把握:本文作者以自述的口吻讲述了自己在一家餐馆遇到的一件事;他被侦探误以为是要寻找的人, 幸亏餐馆的老板与侍者都认识他才避免了麻烦。
1. C notice (无意中)注意到, understand 表示“理解”, 而由全文可知“I”对“a man ”并不认识, 所以排除A、D.
2. D as if 似乎。根据上文“kept glancing in my direction”可判断出这个人似乎认识作者。since 因为;even if 即使;though虽然。
3. B have sth?open把……打开。根据下文的内容可判断出这个人把报纸打开了, 摊放在自己的面前。flat (使)变平;cut 切(割);fix 使固定。

13. A 由于这个人对作者感到迷惑不解, 也引起作者想知道他想做什么。wish后不接名词或代词作宾语, 所以不能用what 提问。

答案与解析:

1.C. 根据上文的retire可知,他想离开自己的工作,故选C项leave。
2.A.。leisurely悠闲的,慢悠悠的;lonely孤独的;orderly有秩序的,有条理的;friendly友好的。根据常识可知,人们退休了以后,生活常是悠闲的,故选A项。
3.C. 退休了以后,老人可以更好的享受家庭的乐趣,选C项enjoy最佳。
4.B. go off开火、爆炸,(电灯等)熄灭;get by维持生计,设法过活;pass on转交,递给;work away连续不停地工作。根据前面的extended family和miss the paycheck可推知,老人生活上悠闲,但没有了工资,生活可能不如以前宽松,但他们能设法维持,故选B项。
5.D. 根据上文retire和下文的his good worker,作为老板,自己的好员工要走了,自然惋惜,故选D项sorry是符合情理的。
6.A. 从下文得知,老木匠的最后一座房子造的很不好,是因为他不用心。所以此处表示转折,选A项but,意为“他虽然答应了,但并不用心工作”。注意while是并列连词,表示前后对比,而非转折。
7.B. 根据前文的bad workmanship和下文可知,老木匠用的建筑材料是劣质的,故inferior正确。
8.D. 根据前文的retire、go和asked if he could build just one more house可知,这是老木匠为老板建造的最后一座房子,是他一生事业的结束,故选D项end。
9.C. 作为老板,自己让人建设的房子完工了,自然来查看一下。下文也提到他并非来购买、出售或修理房子,排除了其他选项。
10.C. 从下文的If he had only known he was building his own house可以看出,老板把刚刚建设的房子作为礼物(gift)送给了老木匠,应该给他房门钥匙,故A项key正确。
11.A. 根据上下文可知,这是老板给老木匠的礼物,以表示感谢。
12.B. 根据上文的shock和下句If he had only known he was building his own house, he would
have done it all so differently可知,老木匠为自己做的蠢事感到羞耻、后悔,故选B项shame正确。
13.A. “So it is with sb.”是一常见句型,意为“……也如此”。注意此题易错选as,误认为是定语从句。As可以引导定语从句,但注意是此句末的标点是句号,因此缺少先行词,无法构成定语从句。其他两选项意思、结构均不正确。
14.D. 根据文意,作者在向我们阐述一个道理,我们的生活也象老木匠建房子一样,没有投入全身心,即用的努力少(less),因此,选D项符合文意。
15.A. 根据上下文,开始我们没有觉察,但后来当我们认识到自己的愚蠢行为时,为时已晚。所以,此处选择realize是正确的。
16.B. 根据上文If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.和But可知,我们虽认识到错误,但有些事情是无法重新再做一遍的。Step forward自告奋勇;go back回到、重新再来;come out(太阳、星星……)出现;look around环视、环顾。四个词组中只有go back有此意。
17.C. 根据下文可知,作者在引用某人(曾经说过)的话,所以用副词once最合适。其他选项与文意不符。
18.A. 根据上文,老木匠既有经验,技艺也高超,但态度不端正犯了大错。因此,一个人做事的态度决定结果,故选attitude是正确的。
19.D. Make a choice/ choices是常见的搭配,意为“作出选择”。
20.B. 根据最后一段和上文中的therefore可知,作者是在告戒读者:我们既然明白了这个道理,“建造自己的房子时”就明智些吧!所以wisely正确。

A estimate意为“据估计”, suggest为“建议、暗示”,inform是“通知、告知”,因死亡数据只是一个大概数据,故应用A。
B 此外应缺少名词,故排除D项,A、C项词形错误,故应选B项 effects。
D increasing 正在增加,为进行时态。
C die from 强调外因,die of强调内因。
A in 与数字或数量连用,表示比例,意思为
B currently 为副词,为时下,当下之意“每”。
B cause 为导致某事结果的直接诱因,reason 指说明某事的理由,excuse 为借口,result为结果。
C link to 与…有关,分词短语作后置定语,connected to 是两物相连接的,相连的。
D It+be+adj+to do 为固定句型,stop to do 是停下来去做另一件事。Stop doing 是停止当前的事。
B do 表强调,有现在时态和过去时态,在肯定句中进行强调,后加动词原形。
C who 为特殊疑问句,引导定语从句,
D 此处缺少形容词,故用 successful
B include doing sth ,attend 为参加一些自助活动,而并非组织活动,故排除D项。
A attending or following为并列关系,follow directions为按照说明去做。
C be worth doing 为固定短语,意为“尝试”语意好于“doing”
B where 引导定语从句,先行词是areas,在从句中担任地点状语。
B instead of代替,而不是,instead是相反之意。
B the sooner……the more越早越。强调终止吸烟的时间。
A return返回,回来,血压回到正常。back为副词,其它语意不符。
C that(特定的)那一类、那一个,it特指同一个,one泛指同一类。

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晚上在黑暗中找灯这件小事,想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中,如果我们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人,世界将变的更加美好。
1.D. 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了,可知我找寻钥匙孔有困难,故选D. difficult。
2.A. 根据下文可知,“我”已经把门打开。Manage to do sth. 表成功地做某事。
3.B. 根据文意可知,由于晚上没有灯,“我”只好摸索前进,只有felt表此意。
4.D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知,“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关,因此在那里摸索,结果并没有,只有once能表示此意。
5.C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆,自己是暂时住到这里,排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C项正确,注意spot此处意为“注意到,看到,发现”。
6.B. 从上文remembered可知,“我”在那天早些时候发现有开关,现在仍然记得,故选B。
7.B. 因为是晚上,所以选择dark。
8.A. 根据文意排除了C、D。句子的主语是nothing而非lamp,故动词operated不正确。因此,只有A项正确。
9.B. 根据文意和下文curtains可推知,“我”现在处在黑暗中,只能拉开窗帘,靠外部街道上的光来找到另一盏灯,故选B。
10.C. 根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知,“我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。Make one’s way意为“前往,到……去”,符合文意。
11.B. 根据文意和下文actually可知,我最终找到了灯,故选until。
12.C. 根据主语a desk lamp和副词actually可知,这盏灯亮了。此意只有work可以表达。
13.A. 根据文意,“我”此时心有所感,世界有时是多么黑暗,而灯是如此必要!can可以表示“有时会……,时而可能”,故选A项。
14.D. 根据文意和下句the light that shines from people可知,人们“内心的灯光”比实际的灯光更有必要。Physical在此意为“物质的,有形的”。
15.B. 由文意可知,我们心中应该有“爱和信任”之灯,才能战胜discouragement、sadness、fear,故选love。
16.A. 由文意和dark可知,有时我们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界,故选lonely。
17.D. 由文意可知,当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助,因此选D项need。
18.B. 由上文So let your light shine.可知,作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人,故选B。
19.C. 细心揣摩文意可知,我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小,好象是森林中的一只蜡烛,故选no more than正确。
20.A. 由文意可知,黑暗再强大,也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛的“爱心之灯”,故选A项put out最佳。

这是一篇富有哲理的记叙文。绿色象征生命,红色象征热情,黄色是收获之色……,颜色之间也要一争高下,比比谁更重要。斑斓世界,五颜六色,一个也不能少。看那雨后的彩虹,也许你会因此而相信唯有手拉手,肩并肩,才能创造出美丽和希望。热爱自己,珍惜他人,明天更美好。
1.D 由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知:没有我,其它的动物就会死亡。
2.A 由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比,结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知,此处指“陆地”。
3.C 此处是强调句型,只能用it is。
4.B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用,意为:没有我的润滑,你们全都没有(即:死亡)。
5.A 此处所填单词,应与前面的laughter, fun是同类型的词,表示积极向上的词,而sadness,depression,anxiety则表示“消极”之意。
6.D 桔黄色在平时不多见,结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现,因此用scarce表示“稀少,不常见”。
7.C 由常识可知,只有在太阳升起或落下时出现桔黄色。
8.C 此上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断下文“当我出现时,没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起,注意。
9.D 由下文shouted out可知,红色再也忍不住了,no longer表示“不再”。
10.B 由上文bravery可知,此处意义为:我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为……而战”。
11.A 由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting(夸耀)可知,它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势(superiority)。
12.C 由谓语动词“倾盆而下(pour down)”可知,副词用violently,来表示“猛烈、激烈”。
13.B 由谓语“蜷缩 (crouched down)”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知:它们处于“恐惧之中”。
14.A amongst常用于书面语中,其意义等于among。
15.D句中的动词dominate是“优于,超出”,根据上文的内容,他们极力说自己的优点,想超出对方,因此用the rest,来表示除自己之处的所有的其它颜色。
16.D 由for a special purpose可知,各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途,它们所具有的特点都是其它颜色没有的,因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。
17.C 此处表示三者以上的“互相”,用one another。意为:大家手拉手。
18.C 由下文joined hands可知,它们“团结一心”。
19.B此处是拟人说法,wash有“冲洗”之意。意为:一场大雨之后。
20.A它们互相合作,形成了美丽的彩虹,如果没有大家的配合,是不可能形成彩虹的。因此这种美丽是大家协作的结晶,所以它们都“感激,感谢”对方的参与。

这是一篇科普类短文。本文讲述的主题是“尽管人的寿命在延长,但随着岁月的流失,人人都会衰老,最终将面临死亡”。
1. C 根据句意:但是人们现在比过去寿命高。used to表示“过去经常做……”,暗示现在并不如此,此处指过去的情况,正好与句义相符。would可表示“过去经常”,但不含“今昔对比”之意。注意该词组与be used to的区别,后者意为“习惯于……”, to为介词。D项之所以不对,是因为在以下词组中,当不定式省略时,通常要保留不定式符号to,如:used to, be going to, mean to, ought to, try to, plan to等。
2. B 根据下文中的定语从句所表示的意义进行判断,这里所填入的单词应该表示“衰老的结果”这一意义。effect意为“结果,影响”,正是此意。function“功能,机能,作用”;affect“影响,感动”,是动词;sign“标记”。解题时要注意effect和affect拼写只相差一个字母,但effect是名词而affect是动词。
3. D 根据主句内容,which引导非限制性定语从句,which表示前面的“衰老的结果”,即:衰老的结果最终导致死亡。result in“使发生,导致”;lead in无此搭配,在表示“导致”时,应为lead to;give in “让步,屈服”;run into“陷入”,常指陷入困境。
4. D 根据上下文及信息词cells可确定句中是指所有的部位(器官)。而其他三项所指的都是身体的具体部位。
5. C 此句中的did是用来代替前面的动词function,以避免重复。因为这里有一个表示过去的时间状语in childhood and teenage years,所以只能用一般过去时。
6. B protection“保护,保护物”,和介词against或from连用,译为“保护……免遭……”。此句义为“身体此时的免疫力下降,易于患病”;energy“精力,活力”; vigor“力量,活力”;power“权力,力气”。
7. A likely, possible和probable它们三者都表示“可能”,均可以构成:It is possible / probable / likely +that从句。但probable 和possible不能用于sb.is possible / probable to do sth.句型中。如:It will be possible / probable / likely for you to get there before eight o'clock.你有可能在8点钟之前赶到那里。 You will be likely to get there before 8 o'clock. 你很有可能在8点钟之前赶到那里。alike“相似的”,不符句意。
8. B根据句义:有一些相关的原因可能促使人衰老。contribute to“有助于,起作用,促成”,此意义符合句义。attend to“专心于”;add to“增加,把……添加到……”;devote to“致力于,献身于”。这四个词组中的to都是介词,要注意它和不定式符号to的区别。
9. A此句与下文相对应,根据下文第十一空之后出现的replace (代替)可确定该空选replaced;reborn“新生的,复活的”;recovered“恢复”;surrendered “屈服”
10. C 根据此句的谓语动词decreases可确定其主语应为the number,表示 “……的数量”,作主语时,应该使用单数的谓语动词;a number of“许多,大量”常用来修饰复数名词,做主语时,要使用复数谓语动词;the amount of“……的数量是”,常接不可数名词;a great deal of “大量的”,后接不可数名词。
11. D 根据这一段里谈到的不同情况的细胞,上文用了some cells of the body不能再生,很显然下文中用other body cells可以被新的细胞所代替。这样other与上文的some相呼应。其他词都不能起此作用。
12. C 根据上文的意思,这里还在继续谈论第二种可再生细胞,即:the new cells。
13. C be capable of是固定搭配,表示“有……的能力”。句中指:老年人的新细胞的发展能力不如年轻人的强。其他介词不与capable搭配。
14. A这一段的内容是和上段相对应的,所需词相当于上段第一句中的cause,指造成一种事实或现象的原因,所以选用factor,表“因素,要素”。其他几个词虽然语义相近,但所强调的重点并不相同。effect“结果”;reason“原因”,用来说明一种看法或行为的理由;element“元素”。
15. C 此句意是:另一个导致衰老的因素是细胞内本身的变化。由此可得出,空格处需填一个作同位语的名词或代词,那么四个选项中,就只有themselves可担当此任,即:反身代词themselves做cells的同位语。
16. C 本句是被动句式,其主动句式是:It is known that some of the protein chemicals in cells change with age and become less elastic。意为:大家知道细胞内有些蛋白质随着年龄的增大而改变,变得没有那么有弹性。又如:It is known that a new hospital will be built here. = A new hospital is known to be built here。在叙述一般性事物时,动词know之后的不定式不用进行式和完成式。
17. A hang在这里是用作系动词,后面须接一个形容词作表语,类似的动词还有: rise,shine,sit,lie等,如:The sun rose red. (= The sun rose and it is red.)。本句除了要注意hang是系动词外,还要注意时态的选择。因为通篇文章所谈论的是人人都要变老的客观事实,所用时态都为一般现在时,不能用进行时。
18. B 根据句义“这就是为什么老人的身高会收缩的原因”,因此表“收缩”的只有shrink;increase“增加”和1engthen“变长”与句义不符; decrease“减少”,一般强调量的减少,也不符合题义。特别说明的是shrink这个词平常用得不太多,但它仍然是中学英语“新课标”词汇,它的过去式形式是shrank或shrunk,过去分词形式是shrunk 或shrunken。
19. D 根据上下文内容应选pass on,表示“把……传给另一个,转移”,句中store and pass on information指“储存和传递信息”,符合句意。其他三个选项都不符句意。pass away“去世”;pass by“经过,从……旁边走过”;pass off“逐渐消失,停止”。
20. D 从通篇文章所叙述的人的衰老的过程分析,我们应该在此处选填process。表示“自然的过程,进程”,符合上下文意义;即:衰老可能影响这种进程和改变信息;improvement“改良”;procession“队伍,行列”;approach“方式,方法”。

这是一篇记叙文。作者出生于一个贫穷的单亲家庭,然而在母亲的帮助与教导下,他克服了重重困难,从后进生一跃名列前茅,成为优秀生,并实现了自己的梦想,成为了一名医生。这一成功的事例说明:在教育子女上,父母才是最好的老师。

15.C 我的母亲不愧是个理财能手,她能让我们有地方住、有各样的食物吃,更不用说买衣服了。keep a roof over one’s head有地方住;put an idea into one’s head使想起;gave an impression on留下印象;have eyes in the back of one’s head多留心不露声色。
16.A let alone更不用说;let out 使放出;let in 使进入;leave alone 不理会,不理睬。

爱就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻吗?作者通过亲身经历,终于明白,爱不是表面上的浪漫的亲吻,而是内在的情感。虽不能随时随地看到它,但是它却实实在在地存在着,使生活变得坚固而温暖。

6.D 因在缝被子,母亲低下头。
7.A 我担心伤害了她。伤害感情用“hurt”。

10.D 这些线使被子坚固耐用。
11.B 你不可能随时随地看到它,但是它却实实在在地存在着。
12.A 由上句推出:爱是内在的。

这是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。通过与父亲一起钓鱼的一次亲身经历,小男孩受到了深刻的道德教育,从而影响了他的一生。道德是简单的对和错的问题,但要付诸行动却很难。尤其是在无人知晓的情况下,我们是否会自觉以道德的标准来衡量我们的言行呢?人应当以“诚实为本,道德至上”。
1.B 由下文可知是鲈鱼季节开放的前。
2.B 他是去钓鱼而非其它。
3.A 当鱼杆向下弯的时候,他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。

11.C 从父亲不可动摇的语气中,他知道这个决定没有商量余地。即“固定了的”。
