Why is California in the 21st century such a multicultural community
1. The Native Americans of California are continuing to heal from the wounds of the past. As California recognizes the value of its multi-ethnic diversity, its native people are encouraged to celebrate their heritage and share it with the wider California culture.
2. The number of African Americans in California increased dramatically following the turn of the 20th century. Although old patterns of prejudice persisted, Africans Americans advanced in politics, business, sports and entertainment. School segregation and
discrimination in housing were banned, but problems of unemployment, underemployment and racism continue to be addressed in the African American community.
3. By 1990, the number of European and Canadian immigrants had fallen dramatically, to less than 10 percent, and the number of immigrants from Mexico and Central America had climbed to well over half of the total.
4. Additionally, California's share of Asian immigrants doubled and now accounts for 40 percent of new immigrants in the state.
Suffixation 后缀
A suffix is a particle, which is added to the end of a root. Suffixes do not change the meaning of the root, but its part of speech.
e.g. lead (v.)→ leadership (n.)
ill (adj.)→ illness (n.)
Although each suffix has its own meaning, it can’t be used separately without the root.
However, some suffixes add new meanings to the newly formed words.
e.g. meaning → meaningless
think → thinker

Grammar——
The Noun Clauses
名词性从句
在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词从句 (Noun Clauses）。 名词从句的功能相当于名词词组, 它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等，因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能，名词从句又可分别称为主语从句(Subject Clause)、宾语从句(Object Clause)、表语从句(Predicative Clause) 和同位语从句(Appositive Clause
Who will win the match is still unknown.
I want to know what he has told you.
The fact is that we have lost the game.
The news that we won the game is exciting.
主语从句
宾语从句
表语从句
同位语从句
Subject Clause (主语从句)
Object Clause (宾语从句)
Noun clause
Predicative Clause (表语从句)
主语从句
一个句子在复合句中充当主语叫主语从句。
e.g. That the earth is round is true .
Whether she will come or not is still a question .
What you are doing seems very difficult .
When they will start has not been decided yet .
引导主语从句的连词是不能省略的。
That the earth is round is true
That-从句作主语通常用it作先行词，而将that-从句置于句末，例如： It is true that the earth is round. It's a pity that you should have to leave. 你非走不可真是件憾事。
2.表示“是否”意义时，一般用whether 而不用 if引导主语从句，
Whether she will come or not is still a question .
但如果有形式主语 it引导时，既可用 whether，也可用 if。
e.g. It is still a question if she will come or not .
3.有时可用形式主语it 代替主语从句：
e.g. It is still a question whether she will come or not .
It has not been decided yet when they will start .
用it作形式主语的that-从句有以下四种不同的搭配关系：
It + be +形容词+ that-从句 It is necessary that… 有必要…… It is important that… 重要的是…… It is obvious that… 很明显……
b. It + be + -ed 分词+ that-从句 It is believed that… 人们相信…… It is known to all that… 从所周知…… It has been decided that… 已决定……
c. It + be +名词+ that-从句 It is common knowledge that
………是常识 It is a surprise that…令人惊奇的是…… It is a fact that… 事实是……
d. It +不及物动词+ that-分句 It appears that… 似乎…… It happens that… 碰巧…… It occurred to me that …
我突然想起……
1. ____ you don’t like him is none of my business.
A. What B. Who
C. That D. Whether
2. ____ he said at the meeting astonished everybody present.
A. What B. That
C. The fact D. The matter
练一练！
what与that在引导名词性从句时的区别:
what引导名词性从句时在从句中充当句子成分,如主语,宾语,表语,表示…的.而that则不然,它在句子中只起连接作用,没有意义.
(1) What you said yesterday is right.
(2) That the earth goes around the sun is well-known to everybody.
3. ____ leaves the room last ought to turn off the lights.
A. Anyone B. The person
C. Whoever D. Who
4. _____the sports meet will be held depends on the weather.
A. Whenever B. If C. Whether D. That
5. ___ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.
A. There B. This
C. That D. It
6. When and why he came here ________ yet.
A . is not known B. are not known
C. has not known D. have not bee
7. After Yang Liwei succeeded in circling the earth, ________ our astronauts desire to do is to walk in space. A. where B. what
C. that D. how
3. It worried Mary a lot _____ she would pass the college entrance examination. A. whether B. if C. that D. how
宾语从句
一个句子在复合句中充当宾语就叫宾语从句。
e.g. Do you know where he is
I’m glad (that )you have passed the exam .
I don’t know whether (if)you are willing to help me .
I’ m sorry for what I have said.
我为我说的话表示歉意。
特别提示
1.由连接词that引导宾语从句时，that在句中不担任任何成分，在口语或非正式的文体中常被省去，但如从句是并列句时,第二个分句前的that不可省。
2.下列宾语从句 必须用whether 引导， 不可用if:
a. 从句后有or not 时，不可用if :
I don’t know whether he will come or not .
b. 介词宾语通常用 whether 引导:
It depends on whether he is coming or not .
这要看他是否会来。
c. 后接动词不定式时。
Can you tell me whether to go or to stay 你能否告诉我是去还是留？
3. 用who，whom, which, whose, what, when, where, why, how, whoever, whatever, whichever等关联词引导的宾语从句相当于特殊疑问句，应注意句子语序要用陈述语序。
Do you know how old he is
I want to know what he has told you. 我想知道他告诉了你什么。 She always thinks of how she can work well. 她总是在想怎样能把工作做好。 She will give whoever needs help a warm support. 凡需要帮助的人，她都会给予热情的支持。
4. think, believe, imagine, suppose等动词引起的否定性宾语从句中，要把上述主句中的动词变为否定式。即将从句中的否定形式移到主句中。例如： We don’t think you are here. 我们认为你不在这。 I don’t believe he will do so. 我相信他不会这样做。

10. Does anybody know __ we will have a sports meeting this weekend or not.
A. if B. where C. whether D. that
If depends on ____ we will be ready in time. A. whether B. that C. if D. when
表语从句
一个句子在复合句中充当表语就叫表语从句. 表语从句放在连系动词后，如：be，seem, remain等，有时用as if引导。其基本结构为：主语 + 系动词 + that从句。
e.g. The problem is that I am short of money.
China is no longer what she used to be .
The question is how we can get there .
It looks as if it is going to rain. 看上去天要下雨了。
特别提醒
1. 表语从句中的时态不受主句的限制.

３．主语是reason时，表语从句常用that，不用because.

主语从句
宾语从句
表语从句

e.g. (1) I think (that) women can reach very high achievements in many fields of science.

3、主语从句

e.g. They are familiar with the opinion that all matter consists of atoms.

The suggestion came from the chairman that the new rule should be adopted.
1.I have always been honest and straightforward, and it doesn‘t matter ______that I’m talking to. A. who is it B. who it is
C. it is who D. it is whom
高考链接
【试析】这个句子是一个由and连接的并列句。And后是一个含有主语从句的结构，其主句部分是it doesn’t matter, 主语从句则是who it is that I’m talking to.而在主语从句中，又有一个定语从句，修饰who. Who既是一个引导词，也在it is中作表语.如果再细一点，说who是 (talking) to的介词宾语也可以。
2. It is pretty well understood ___ controls the flow of carbon dioxide in and out the atmosphere today. A. that B. when C. what D. how
【试析】主语从句中缺少做主语的成分，故选C.
3. _____ made the school proud was______ more than 90％ of the students had been admitted to key universities.
A. What; because B. What ; that
C. That ; what D. That ; because
【试析】what 在此作连接代词，引导主语从句，并在从句中作主语。that引导主语从句时，只起引导作用，不作任何成分.
4.When you answer questions in a job interview, please remember the golden rule: Always give the monkey exactly_______ he wants.
A.what B.which C.when D.that
【试析】这是一个宾语从句,wants后面缺少宾语, Always give the monkey exactly what he wants是一句谚语, 意思是"永远给予他人他确实想要的东西"。故答案为A。
5.---Are you still thinking about yesterday's game ---Oh, that's_______ .
A. what makes me feel excited
B. whatever I feel excited about
C. how I feel about it
D. when I feel excited
【试析】这是由what 引导的一个表语从句，在从句中充当主语，这句话的意思为：那是使我感到兴奋的事。故答案为A。
6.---I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.
---Is that_______ you had a few days off
A.why B.when C.what D.where
【试析】这是一个由why引导的表语从句,表示原因.这句话的意思是"这就是你离开的原因吗 "。故答案为A。
7.He made another wonderful discovery, _______ of great importance to science.
A. which I think is B. which I think it is
C. which I think it D. I think which is
【试析】答案A。该题考查定语从句中加入插入语的用法，因插入语应位于引导词之后，所以D项不对，B、C两项无法构成正确结构。
