1.A computer is so useful a machine ________ we can use everywhere.
A. that B. which
C. as D. what
答案与解析:C 本题考查定语从句。由句意:计算机是我们随处可用的一种有用的机器。由句中so+adj.+a+n.知先行词被so修饰,定语从句中又缺少宾语,故选C。要注意与so...that句型的区别。
2.Albert Einstein, for ________ life had once been very hard, was successful later in science.
A. whom B. whose
C. which D. his
答案与解析:A 本题考查介词提前的定语从句。Einstein为先行词,故选A。

A. that time B. by which time
C. by that time D. which time
答案与解析:B 本题考查定语从句。由句中... until 11 o'clock at night知先行词为表时间的词,又据句后... have gone to sleep知应选B,“在……之前”。
4.The river, ________ the banks are covered with trees, is very long.
A. whose B. which
C. of which D. which of
答案与解析:C 本题考查定语从句。whose banks=of which the banks=the banks of which。
5.We can never forget the days ________ the two astronauts in spaceship worked together and the days ________ we spent together.
A. when; which B. which; when
C. what; that D. on which; when
答案与解析:A 本题考查定语从句关系词的应用。尽管两空前都是the days,但分析句子成分知第一空填关系副词,作不及物动词work的时间状语;第二空填关系代词,作及物动词spend的宾语。故选A。

即境活用
3.John saved his money________he can buy a bicycle.
A.in case B.in order that
C.in order to D.as though
解析:选B。考查in order that引导目的状语从句的用法。本句意为“约翰为了买自行车把钱都存了起来。”in case表示“以防;万一”;as though表示“好像”,与题意不符;而若选C则应表达为...in order to buy a bicycle。
★4.He ordered that the work ________at once.
A.started B.was started
C.start D.be started
解析:选D。order表示“命令”,后跟定语从句,从句要用虚拟语气,即sb.should do...,其中should可以省略,本句中因为从句的主语为the work,所以应用被动语态(should)be started。本句意为“他下令立即开展工作。”
3 invent vt. 发明;捏造;虚构

易混辨析
discover,find,invent,create
(1)discover发现的对象本身存在,但主语不知道,如科学真理、新的区域等,有时也泛指“发现”某种情况、丢失的东西。
(2)find作“发现”讲,其常用结构是find+宾语+补足语。find接that从句则表示“发现一个事实、一个道理”。
(3)invent指“发明”,发明以前没有的新东西,如工具、机器、材料、方法等,也可指“捏造”某种不诚实的借口、理由等。
(4)create则指有目的地把原材料制成新产品,也指创造出原来不存在的或与众不同的事物。

他因对警卫工作不感兴趣而辞职了。

活学巧练:
He __________ his post because he had been offered a better job.
A.resigned B.retired

After a number of disagreements with the committee, the chairman decided to_____ .
A. retire B. retreat
C. withdraw D. resign
【解析】选D。resign“辞职”符合题意。retire“退休”,指由于达到法定年龄而不再从事该工作。retreat“退却;撤退”,常用于部队、军队上的撤军;withdraw“收回;撤退”,常用于文件等方面。

即境活用
6.Some of the most important achievements in physics________their success to these mathematical systems.
A.oblige B.owe

解析:选B。oblige sb.to do sth.表示“强迫某人做某事”;owe...to...表示“把……归功于”;contribute...to...表示“把……贡献于……”;devote...to...表示“把……致力于……”。根据句意“一些最重要的物理方面的成就之所以获得成功应归功于这些数学体系。”可知应选B。
★7.We can see monuments here and there.Those who have made a great ________to human beings and society will never be forgotten.
A.advance B.progress
C.contribution D.achievement
解析:选C。考查词义辨析。achievement指“成就”;progress指“进步”;advance指“前进;进步”;这里make a contribution to表示“为……作出贡献”。本句意为“我们到处可见纪念碑,那些为人类和社会作出巨大贡献的人将永垂不朽。”所以选C。

in(under) favourable conditions在有利的形势下

他身体健康。

即境活用
8.He was________by his aunt in a small mountain village.
A.grown up B.come up
C.brought up D.brought about
解析:选C。grow up和come up分别意为“长大”和“被提出来”,是不及物动词短语,都不能用于被动语态;bring about表示“引起;导致”;bring up 是及物动词短语,表示“抚养;养育”。本句意为“他由他的姑姑在一个小山村抚养长大。”

6. for the first time 第一次(在句中作时间状语)
(回归课本P49)With the Industrial Revolution,factories appeared and mass production became possible for the first time.
随着工业革命的发展,工厂出现了,产品的批量生产第一次成为可能。
归纳总结
the+序数词+time可作连词,引导一个状语从句。其重点不是强调某一次做了什么事,而是叙述某一动作或情况,即第几次做某事的时候。这时不能与for连用,并且time后不用when。
It is time for sb.to do sth.;It is (high) time that sb.did sth.,第二个句型用一般过去时表达虚拟语气,表示“是该某人做某事的时候了”。
例句探源
①They came to Beijing for the first time.

我第一次去深圳的时候,深圳比一个城镇大不了多少。

句型巧析
1.【教材原句】 But it was also a time when there were many great philosophers.(P43)
但那也是一个产生了许多哲学家的时期。
【句法分析】 本句中的a time表示“一段时间”,后面接定语从句时,常用when或“at/during等+which”引导定语从句,译为“一个……的时期”。
There is/was a time when...有一段时间……
It (That)is/was the first(second,third...)time that...
这/那是第一次(第二次,第三次……)……

即境活用
★14.The reason ________I was late for the school was ________I was held up by traffic jam in the morning.
A.why;because B.that;that
C.that;because D.why;that
解析:选D。the reason后跟定语从句时,用why引导,表语从句用that引导,构成“The reason why...is that...”句型。
15.(2010年高考上海卷)One reason for her preference for city life is ________she can have easy access to places like shops and restaurants.
A.that B.how
C.what D.why
解析:选A。句意:她偏爱城市生活的原因之一是在城市里很容易找到像商店和餐馆一样的地方。考查名词性从句。系动词is之后是一表语从句,且从句的结构完整,不缺任何成分,所以用that引导。
9.They say that you need to be a bit mad to be an inventor.据说要想成为发明家,得需要一点疯狂和着迷。
主语+v.+that句型中,主语是“人”,谓语动词是表示人的思维的动词,通常有say, think, consider, hope, report...等,表示“某些人(认为/相信/希望)……”。
这个句型常可和以下两个句式互换:
①It is/ was+p.p.+that从句
②Sb./ Sth.+be+p.p.+to do/ to have+p.p.

If you do it_____ , you are sure to make rapid progress.
A. on the way B. by the way
C. in a way D. in this way
【解析】选D。in this way意为“以这种方法”,A项意为“在……途中”,B项意为“顺便说一下”,C项意为“在某种程度上”,故A、B、C项均不符合题意。本句意为“如果你用这种方法做的话,你肯定会取得很快的进步”。
10.定语从句
形容词性从句一般称为定语从句,在句子中起定语作用,修饰一个名词或代词,有时可修饰一个句子。被定语从句修饰的词叫作先行词,定语从句必须放在先行词的后面,由关系代词或关系副词引导;关系词充当从句的成分。
(1)引导定语从句的关系词
①关系代词起代词的作用,关系副词起副词的作用,因此同样的先行词,由于在从句中担任的逻辑作用不同,须用不同的关系词去代替它:
This is the place where he works.
(关系词作状语,=in the place,要用where)
这是他工作的地方。
This is the place which we visited.
(关系词作宾语,=the place,要用which)
这是我们参观过的地方。
②在口语或非正式场合中,that可代替关系副词:
This is the place that(=where) he works.
③有时为了句子的平衡,较短的定语或较短的谓语动词插入定语从句与先行词之间,这叫做分隔定语从句:
I was the only person in my office who was invited.
我是我们办公室里唯一受到邀请的人。
④关系代词作从句的主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要与先行词取得一致;先行词为一个句子时,从句谓语动词为第三人称单数形式:
Those who are going, come here.
要去的人到这儿来。
The exams were put off, which was exactly what we wanted.各门考试都推迟了,这正是我们希望的。
⑤关系代词或“介词+关系代词”在从句中作定语时,被修饰词常需要提前:
There is a room, the window of which faces the river.
有一间房子,窗户朝着这条河。
(2)宜用that而不用which的情况
①先行词为all, much, little, everything, anything, nothing, none, few, the one等不定式代词时:
I mean the one that was bought yesterday.
我指的是昨天买的那个。
②先行词被形容词最高级或被only, any, few, little, no, all, one of等修饰时:
It is the most important task that should be finished soon.
这是必须马上完成的最重要的任务。
③先行词为数词或被序数词(含last)修饰时:
Look at these flowers. You can see the two that you gave me.瞧这些花,你能看到你给我的那两朵。
④先行词中既有人又有物时:
We were deeply impressed by the teachers and schools that we had visited.
我们访问过的老师和学校给我们留下深刻的印象。
⑤先行词在主句中作表语,或关系代词在从句中作表语时:

他有个女儿,在医院工作。
③先行词本身是that:
The clock is that which tells the time.
钟表就是能够报时的计时器。
(4)“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
关系代词whom,which在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,可以跟介词一起放在主句和从句之间;当先行词指人时,介词后的关系代词用whom,其余用which,这时的关系代词不能省略;有时为了使关系代词紧跟它所修饰的先行词,也可以把介词放在从句中有关动词的后面,这时的which可用that替换。在介词放在从句有关动词的后面时,关系代词which, that, whom在口语中和非正式文体中经常省略。
This is the room in which he used to live.=This is the room (which/that) he used to live in.
这是他过去居住过的房间。
Who's the man with whom you just shook hands?=Who's the man (that/whom) you just shook hands with
刚才你与他握手的那个人是谁?
但含有介词的短语动词一般不拆开,介词仍放在动词的后面。
This is the book (which/that) I'm looking for.
这就是我在找的那本书。
在这类定语从句中,介词的选择一般根据动词的需要(如上述几例),或者根据先行词来决定。
There is a mountain of which the top is always covered with snow.有一座山顶总是覆盖着雪的山。

A. them B. who
C. whom D. these
答案与解析:C 本题考查定语从句的引导词。要求学生分清引导定语从句的关系代词和关系副词的用法。句意:她带来了她的三个朋友,以前我一个也没见过。本句中前句是一个完整的句子,但没用句号,用了逗号,并且中间也没有连词,所以后一个分句应是前一个分句的定语从句,又因of为介词,其后必须跟宾格,故选C项。
3.I have reached a point in my life ________ I am supposed to make decisions of my own.
A. which B. where
C. how D. why
答案与解析:B 本题考查定语从句的关系词。当point, case, stage, situation等表示抽象地点的名词充当先行词时,若定语从句中缺少状语,则用关系副词where来引导定语从句。

A. of which B. on which

10.The patient isn't out of danger. He is __________ than he was yesterday.

答案与解析:A 本题考查“no+比较级+than”句型。本句意为“这个病人还没有脱离危险。现在比昨天好不了多少”。“no+形容词或副词的比较级+than”这一结构在表示比较时,实际上是对前后都加以否定。

14.You may borrow the book,__________ you don't lend it to anyone else.
A.in good condition B.on no condition

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
An entirely new camera has come out, the first of its kind: a time machine.
Now, the Exilim EX-F 1 is not a time machine in the H.G. Wells' sense. You can't climb inside and travel back to primary school and undo every silly mistake you've ever made. But for a digital camera, the F1 comes pretty close. It does let you freeze time, slow time down and even capture photos of sudden events that you've already missed.
How is this possible Because the F1 is the world's fastest camera. A typical shirt-pocket camera can take one to three photos a second. But this camera can take—are you ready for this —60 photos a second. After such a burst, you can delete all 60, or review them and choose the individual frames worth keeping.
The F l's second trick is photographing a moment after the fact. In pre-record mode, you half-press the shutter (快门) button when you're awaiting an event that's unpredictable. The camera silently, repeatedly records 60 shots a second, immediately deleting the old to make room for the new, when you finally press the shutter button fully, the camera simply preserves the most recent shots, thus effectively photographing an event that you missed.
Unfortunately, this highly unusual, experimental piece of equipment includes some disadvantages, such as poor light sensitivity, slow start-up and so on, but no camera has ever offered anything like it.
1. According to the passage, we can know that the new camera ________.
A. can be used as a time machine
B. can only store 60 photos
C. can take a photo for a person after him leaving
D. has the same disadvantages as common camera
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。文章最后一段说到它有一些缺点,但no carmera has ever offered anything like it,这说明其他相机也有这样的相似缺点。
2. The attitude of the author towards the new camera is (that) ________.
A. he thinks it unbelievable
B. not clear
C. he thinks highly of it
D. acceptable
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。从作者行文来看,他对这款相机很喜欢,称他是时间机器。所以选C项。
3. Which of the words can replace the underlined word in the fourth paragraph
A. Keeps. B. Stops.
C. Deletes. D. Photos.
答案与解析:A 词义猜测题。前文说到它每秒可以拍60张,边拍边删,最后按下快门后保留最后的60张,所以应该是“保留”的意思。
4. What is the purpose of the author writing the passage
A. To sell more cameras.
B. To introduce a new camera.
C. To show the advantages of the camera.
D. To advertise his new camera.
答案与解析:B 主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文,目的只是介绍,不是在做广告,也不只是谈了相机的优点。所以选B项。
B
EcoLean, a Swedish firm, has developed a new packaging material. As we know, common materials take a great deal of energy to produce. The new material is made up mostly of a natural material and, when exposed to the sunlight, disappears in a matter of hours.
The brain behind EcoLean is chemist Ake Rosen. Ever since the 1980's, Rosen had been dreaming of making a mixed material that would have the durability(耐用), light weight and cheapness of ordinary plastic. The world, however, was not ready for it, or so he thought. Then in 1996, Rosen left his job to form EcoLean, his own start-up, where he could pursue his dream packaging material full time. He first considered starch as the basic material, but it biodegraded(分解) too quickly.
He also tried talc. Then he tried one of the world's most common materials, chalk.
After experimenting many times, Rosen discovered a LeanMaterial that consists of up to 70 percent chalk and 30 percent polyolefin.
LeanMaterial looks and feels like common plastic, but it isn't. For environmentalists, the material has numerous benefits though it consists in part of plastic. It can easily degrade_into carbon and oxygen.
But LeanMaterial is amazingly unusual when it is ready for the garbage. Bottles, yogurt tubs or candy wrappers made of LeanMaterial would all be degradable. Leave them sitting on the picnic table and in a month or two, sunlight will have reduced them to sand. Or, once burnt, the resulting ash will be rich in carbonates, good for making the soil less acidic(酸性). Also, the material has no “memory”. Step on a LeanMaterial bottle and it stays crushed, taking up less space in landfill.
5.The following statements about the things Ake Rosen did in the 1990s are TRUE except ________.
A.he quit his job
B.he formed his own firm
C.he started to pursue his dream whole-heartedly
D.he left EcoLean
答案与解析:D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中间的“Then in 1996, Rosen left his job to form EcoLean, his own start-up, where he could pursue his dream packaging material full time”可以得出答案为D项。
6.From the passage, we can infer that LeanMaterial ________.
A.is just like common plastic
B.can never take the place of ordinary packaging
C.will be used widely in the future
D.has countless disadvantages
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了Lean Material的各种优点,由此我们可以推断Lean Material在将来会被广泛应用。
7.Compared with common plastic, LeanMaterial ________.
A.can last longer
B.takes up more space
C.is less expensive
D.is more environment-caring
答案与解析:D 根据文章最后一段可知,这种新材料可降解、可以改良土壤、占用空间少,总之很环保,所以答案选D项。
8.The underlined phrase “degrade into” means ________.
A.break down into
B.turn out into
C.make into
D.fall into
答案与解析:A 词义猜测题。句中的it是指这种新材料,碳和氧是构成这种材料的基本元素,由此可以推知degrade into的含义为“分解成”。故选A项。

The Confucius classroom Hub for the City of Edinburgh at St George’s school was opened by the Lord Provost George Grubb and will be used as a resource center for pupils studying Mandarin and Chinese culture.
When opening the classroom, the Lord Provost said, “Learning about Chinese culture is very important for young people today to understand the links between their lives and the lives of others throughout the world. ”
Marilyne MacLaren, one of the officials said, “This is a very exciting new project which has been initiated (倡议) by the Administration in Edinburgh. This partnership will provide a fantastic opportunity for more school pupils in Edinburgh to learn Mandarin, which is fast becoming an internationally spoken language. ”
“It is essential that young people growing up in the 21st century today be educated about other major players in the world affairs, ” said the councilor.
St George’s school Head Teacher Judith McCure said, “We are delighted to be working in partnership with other Edinburgh schools on this extremely important initiative(提议). International education is vital for today’s global economy and the Confucius classroom will give pupils the opportunity to work together to experience the rich possibilities of Chinese language and culture. It will be a lively place for learning and interaction and will allow teachers to share resources and practice together. ”
The first schools to benefit from this will be St George’s and six other secondary schools.
The Confucius classroom is funded by the Chinese government and will also be supported by the network of Confucius Classroom Hub in Scotland where eight Confucius classrooms have been planned to be set up.

The achievements of China’s space
technology would have been unthinkable
without the contribution of Qian Xuesen,
a key leader of the New China’s nuclear,
missile(导弹) and space programs. Sadly, this pioneering scientist and patriot(爱国者) passed away in Beijing on October 31, 2009, at the age of 98.
Luan Enjie, head of China’s lunar(月球的) program once called Qian “the father of our space industry”.
Qian began working on China’s missile and space technology in 1956, when the technology was almost non-existent.
When asked by General Chen Geng whether Chinese could develop their own missiles, Qian said Chinese could do anything that foreigners could do.
His research helped lead to the explosion of China’s first atomic bomb(原子弹) in 1964, as well as to its first man-made satellite(卫星) in 1970 and its first manned spacecraft in 2003.
Qian was born in Shanghai. He graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934. Then he studied in the US at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later at the California Institute of Technology.
During World WarⅡ(1939~1945), Qian’s research contributed to the development of rocket technology that the US military(军方) began using in the 1940s.
But in 1950, Qian became a target of anti-communist(反共的) investigations in the US. He was prevented from leaving the country because it was decided that he knew too much about sensitive military matters. For the following five years, Qian was mostly stopped from leaving his home. In 1955, Qian returned to China with the help of Premier Zhou Enlai.
“It was the stupidest thing this country ever did, ” said Dan Kimball, a former US Navy secretary. “This man is the equal of five divisions(师) in any country. I would have him shot rather than release him to China. ”
Qian remained an enthusiastic follower of China’s progress in scientific research even after he retired at 80.
