V 重点句子
1. Frederick William I，the King Of Prussia，could never have imagined that his Greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history．
[解释] 此句中含有―could + have done‖结构，用来表示对过去发生的事情的推测、批评、反悔等。它用在不同的句式中，表达的含义不同。
1)用于疑问句中，表示对行为可能性的推测。如：
Could he have been told the news?
2)用于陈述句和肯定句，表示与过去事实相反的假设，意为―本来能够去做却没有做‖。否定句表示对过去事实的推测。如：
--- I stayed at a hotel while in New York．
--- Oh，did you? You could have stayed with Barbara．
2. Later，CatherineⅡhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Peters-burg where she spent her summers．
[解释]1)此句是一个含有关系副词引导的定语从句的主从复合句。主句中的谓语had the Amber Room moved是have sth．done结构，该结构中done是过去分词作补语，意为―使某事被做‖―让别人做某事‖，而不是主语自己做。
例如：
1) I had my hair cut yesterday．昨天我理发了。
2)where she spent her summers为定语从句，修饰先行词St Petersburg，关系副词where在从句中作地点状语。又如：This is the place where 1 was born．这是我的出生地。

The professor says our 26 with others often becomes clearly defined (明确) when money enters the picture. You 27 have wonderful friendships with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some 28 . If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems 29 than ever before. 30 it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't.

答案：
文阐述了一个观点，对钱的态度。
21．选C．discover表示发现某一现象，在此较为合乎逻辑．第17空前的uncover一词对此也有启示作用。22．选B．这里强调的是人们的普遍观点，故用think。
23．选D．keep a record意为―记录……‖，符合教授的意图。
24．选A．记下花钱的―方式‖，有助于人们反思自己在生活中，实际上总是注重一些什么东西。
25．选B．value意为―珍惜‖、―重视‖。
26．选C．relation(关系)是中性词，合乎这里的情境。
27．选D．might表示―也许‖，在几个词中语气最弱，符合下一句所揭示的语境。
28．选D．由下文可知，这里指―借钱‖。
29．选A．愿意借钱了，关系自然比以前更牢固。从下一句的weaken一词中也能得到启示。

该句表示借钱怎么样，不借钱怎么样，故用otherwise更为合适。

We nowadays live in a global village, and many difficulties will arise if we can't express ourselves fluently in English.
In spite of my awareness of its importance, I seldom find chances to practice and improve my oral English. So, I am still very weak with regard to this respect. One reason is that my pronunciation and intonation aren't good enough. The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find the exact words to express my ideas and feelings. As a result the best way for me to do is to remain silent when others are practicing and making great progress in their oral English every day.
Now I am attaching much more importance to oral English and I have made up my mind to seize every opportunity to practice. I begin to participate actively in all kinds of English activities, such as going to "English Corners", talking in English with my classmates and with native speakers. "Nothing is difficult in the world if you really put your heart to it." as the Chinese
oral English will be excellent someday.
