Ⅱ.重点句型详解
1．It is a great pleasure to meet you students from England... 我很高兴遇见你们这些来自英国的学生……pleasure 本来是抽象名词，在此句中具体化，意思是“乐事；快事”。
①It‘s a pleasure to meet you. 认识你是十分高兴的事。
②She has few pleasures left in life. 她生活中已没有什么乐趣了。
拓展：抽象名词的具体化是高考的常考点之一，现总结如下：(1)表示具有某种特性、状态、特点、情感、情绪的人或事，且表示变化了的词义时，这类抽象名词由于已具体化，故可变为可数名词。如：
a pleasure 乐事
a success 成功的人或事a surprise 奇异的事
a failure 失败的人或事a pity 可惜的事
a must 必要的事
a worry 令人担忧的事
a wonder 奇迹
a great help 有帮助的人或事
a youth 年轻人
a danger 危险的人或物
a beauty 美人
(2)表示抽象的特性、状态、思维、行为的一次、一种、一类、一下、一顿等意思时，常可组成“a/an＋抽象名词”或“a/an＋形容词＋抽象名词”结构。如：
have a sleep 睡觉
die a death 死
take a great interest 表现极大的兴趣take a look 看
get a high opinion 得到很高的评价make an apology 道歉
have a good time 玩得高兴
an art 一种艺术
a delicious breakfast (lunch, supper) 可口的早餐(午餐、晚餐)
[即境活用1]She is ______ success, ______ woman as she is.
A．/; /B．a; a C．/; a D．a; /
答案：D解析：考查冠词。第一空填a，表示“一位成功人士”；第二空as引导让步状语从句时，句子需倒装且名词前不填冠词。
2．We have_been_excavating layers of ash almost six metres thick, which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter. 我们一直在挖掘一层层的积灰，几乎有六米厚，这意味着他们可能整个冬天都在烧火。(1)句中的have been doing是现在完成进行时。
完成进行时是现在完成时的强调形式，表示动作从过去某一时间开始，一直延续到现在，可能还要继续下去，通常与表示一段时间的状语连用，如：for hours, since this morning等，其构成是“have/has＋been＋现在分词”。
I have been looking for my lost book for three days, but I still haven’t found it.
我已经花了三天的时间找我丢失的书，但还没有找到。
【注意】现在完成进行时与现在完成时的区别：
①二者都可以表示动作的延续，区别在于：前者更强调动作的延续性，可以说是后者的强调形式。
We have been living here for ten years.(强调还要继续住下去)
We have lived here for ten years.(不知道是否已经结束)
②在无时间状语的情况下，前者表示动作仍在进行，而后者则表示动作在过去已结束。
The students have been preparing for the exam.(还在进行)
The students have prepared for the exam.(已经结束)
(2)句中的suggest含义为“暗示，表明”，后面接从句时不用虚拟语气。
His pale face suggests he is in bad health. 他面色苍白，说明他身体不好。
当suggest含义为“建议，提出”时，后面跟从句时要用虚拟语气that sb. should do。
I suggested to him that we should handle the problem another way.我向他建议我们用另一种方式处理这个问题。The dentist suggested that she (should) come another day.牙医建议她改天再来。
[即境活用2](1)The two countries ______ to maintain their military equation for many years.
A．tried B．was trying C．have tried D．have been trying
答案：D
(2)The suggestion that the mayor ______ the prizes was accepted by everyone.
A．would present B．present C．presents D．ought to present答案：B
3．Abruptly she sat down, only_to_be_scooped_up by her laughing, shouting sister, Luna.
她突然坐下，结果被她又笑又嚷的妹妹鲁娜抱了起来。
only to be scooped up by her laughing, shouting sister, Luna是不定式做结果状语，多表示意料之外的结果。
He hurried to the station only to find that the train had left. 他匆匆忙忙地赶到车站，结果发现火车已经开走了。
提示：－ing 形式做结果状语多表示由于前边的动作自然而然地导致后边的结果。如：
①They can eat a person in two minutes, leaving only bones. 它们可以在两分钟之内把一个人吃光，只剩骨头。
②European football is played in more than 80 countries, making it the most popular sport.
有80多个国家踢欧式足球，这使得它成为最流行的运动。
[即境活用3]The news reporters hurried to the airport, only ______ the film stars had left.
A．to tell B．to be told C．telling D．told
答案：B解析：only＋to do 常做结果状语，故排除C、D两项。根据句意可知是“别人告诉记者”，the news reporters 做主语，需用被动式。
易错点拨
1.alternative/choice/selection
(1)alternative一般强调在只有两种可能性或者行为方式之间进行的选择。
(2)choice泛指从一组人或物中进行的自由选择，指选择，挑选，抉择。
(3)selection含有从许多可供选择的人或物中择优选拔的意思。
[应用1](1)The store offers a wide ______ of fruit and vegetables.商店提供许多可供选择的水果和蔬菜。
(2)An unhappy _____________ is before you. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr Collins, and
I will never see you again if you do. 摆在你面前的是个很不幸的难题，你得自己去选择。如果你不嫁给柯林斯先生，你母亲就再也不想见你，而如果你要嫁给他，我就再也不愿见到你
(3)Parents should be careful in their _____________ of the movies their young children see.
家长们在为孩子们挑选电影时应小心谨慎。

2. interrupt/disturb
(1)interrupt打断(某人的)谈话；中断(某人的)行动

(3)I’m sorry to ___________ you, but can I talk to you for a moment？对不起，打扰你一下，我能跟你谈一会儿吗？disturb interrupt disturb
3. 现在完成进行时

A．is preparing B．was preparing C．had been prepared D．has been preparing
答案：D解析：从语境可知prepare 这一动作从过去一直持续到说话时。故用have been doing。
(2)She ought to stop working. She has a headache because she ______ all day long.
A．has been reading B．had read C．is reading D．read
答案：A解析：主句用了一般现在时，从句强调到现在为止，一直在读书，所以用现在完成进行时。

答案：D解析：凯茜正在阳光学校记语法笔记，她一直在那里学英语，到现在一年了。
(4)Ever since the Greens moved to the country a year ago, they ______ better health.
A．are enjoying B．have been enjoying C．could have enjoyed D．had enjoyed
答案：B解析：ever since (自从……以来)引导从句时，主句要用完成时态。本句强调“一直进行”，所以选B。
(5)—Did you find the missing couple in the mountain yesterday?
—No, but we ______ to get in touch with them ever since.
A．have tried B．have been trying C．had tried D．had been trying
答案：B解析：从情景可知，句子的谓语应使用现在完成时态，排除C、D两项。现在完成时表示动作到现在结束；现在完成进行时则表示动作持续到现在并且要延续到将来。运用到本题表示“过去一直并且以后也要尽力去取得联系”。

A typical Chinese Internet user is a young male who prefers instant messaging to e－mail, seldom makes online purchases and favors news, music and games sites. According to a study, about two thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news－often entertainment－related—or for online games. About half download music and movies.
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people don‘t trust the quality of goods bought online，”Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”
The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people aged 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.

A. likes to send e mails

3. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?

D. Young.
答案及解析：3．C。由文章第四段对几个大城市网民的调查可知。

A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. All computer viruses are man－made. Here are some virus prevention tips.
Do not open any files attached to an e mail from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source.
Do not open any files attached to an e mail unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know. Some viruses can replicate(复制) themselves and spread through e mail. Better be safe than sorry and confirm that they really sent it .
Do not open any files attached to an e mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. If the need to do so is there, always save the file to your hard drive before doing so.
Delete chain e mails and junk e mails. Do not forward(转寄) or reply to any of them. These types of e mail are considered spam(垃圾邮件), which contains lots of annoying advertisements and useless information.
Do not download any files from strangers.
Be careful when downloading files from the Internet. Ensure that the source is a legitimate(合法的) and reputable one. Verify(证实) that an anti virus program checks the files on the download site. If you are uncertain, don‘t download the file at all or download the file to a floppy(软盘) and test it with your own anti virus software.
Update your anti virus software regularly. Over 500 viruses are discovered each month, so you’ll want to be protected. These updates should be at least the products virus signature files. You may also need to update the product‘s scanning engine as well.
Back up(备份) your files on a regular basis. If a virus destroys your files, at least you can replace them with your backup copy. You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files, one that is preferably not on your computer.
5．This passage mainly tells us ______.
A. what a computer virus is
B. how to use e mail safely
C. how to use computers safely
D. how to prevent computer viruses

A. A computer virus is a kind of worm.
B. Not all computer viruses are man－made.
C. Computer viruses run according to our wishes.
D. A computer virus is a program or piece of code.
答案及解析：6. D。事实细节题。A项是望文生义，B项在文中第一段明确指出All computer viruses are manmade.，C项是常识错误，D项从文中首句可知。
7. When we use e mail, we should ______.
A. open all the files we receive
B. open any file even if we don’t know what it is

More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. 至今, 他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者, 还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项. But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places. 但是这些纪录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的, 而是阿什里塔试图在非常有趣的地点, 在富有想象力的运动项目中打破的. Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America. 最近, 阿什里塔完成了他的梦想: 在所有的七大洲中都破一项纪录, 其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈, 在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏, 在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动. While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬, 但实际上, 完成这些活动需要强大的力量、健康的体格和坚定的决心. Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. 想想吧, 你一边走路一边还要把满满一瓶牛奶定在头上, 你的脖子需要有多好的适应力. You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head. 你可以停下来休息或者吃东西, 但瓶子必须呆在你的头顶上. While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. 当阿什里塔站在高75公分的瑞士气球上时, 看起来虽然很轻松容易, 其实不然. It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to stay on it. 呆在球上得一直全神贯注, 还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感. You have to struggle to stay on top especially when your legs start shaking. 特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候, 你还得使劲呆在球上. And what about somersaulting along a road for 12 miles? 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗, 情况又是怎样呢? Somersaulting is a tough event as you have to overcome dizziness, extreme tiredness and pain. 翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动, 因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦. You are permitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit. 每翻滚一个小时, 只允许你有五分钟的休息, 不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐. Covering a mile in the fastest time while doing gymnastically correct lunges is yet another event in which Ashrita is outstanding. 做标准的体操弓箭步动作向前, 以最快的节奏走完一英里的路程是阿什里塔又一个出色的项目. Lunges are extremely hard on your legs. 弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验. You start by

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！ 然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢？这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教，16岁时，他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师，住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初，阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出，人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性，并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时，他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过，他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候，他开始有了这样的认识：他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具，而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起，阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候，阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候，他就会进入自己的内心深处，与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中，阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上，他常穿着一件T恤衫，后背上有斯里琴摩的名言： “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……
Unit 2 Cloning 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts. Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures. What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings. In Japan, it is recognised that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words. In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London. In contrast, when there's more homogeneity,_perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with. A．The Dutch. B．Americans. C．The English. D．The Japanese. 解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知，日本人在谈话中沉默时间最长。

选修9 Unit 1 Breaking records-Reading "THE ROAD IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU" Ashrita Furman is a sportsman who likes the challenge of breaking Guinness records. Over the last 25 years, he has broken approximately 93 Guinness records. More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places. Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America. While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head. While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to stay on it. You have to struggle to stay on top especially when your legs start shaking. And what about somersaulting along a road for 12 miles Somersaulting is a tough event as you have to overcome dizziness, extreme tiredness and pain. You are permitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit. Covering a mile in the fastest time while doing gymnastically correct lunges is yet another event in which Ashrita is outstanding. Lunges are extremely hard on your legs. You start by standing and then you step forward with the fight foot while touching the left knee to the ground. Then you stand up again and step forward with the left foot while touching the fight knee to the ground. Imagine doing this for a mile! Yet this talented sportsman is not a natural athlete. As a child he was very unfit and was not at all interested in sports. However, he was fascinated by the Guinness Book of World Records. How Ashrita came to be a sportsman is an interesting story. As a teenager, he began searching for a deeper meaning in life. He studied Eastern religions and, aged 16, discovered an Indian meditation teacher called Sri Chinmoy who lived in his neighbourhood in New York City. Since that time in the early 1970s, Ashrita has been one of Sri Chinmoy's students. Sri Chinmoy says that it is just as important for people to develop their bodies as it is to develop their minds, hearts and spiritual selves. He believes that there is no limit to people's physical abilities. When Ashrita came third in a 24-hour bicycle marathon in New York's Central Park in 1978, he knew that he would one day get into the Guinness Book of World Records. He had been urged by his spiritual leader to enter the marathon even though he had done no training. So, when he won third place, he came to the
