二、考點精析與拓展

1. search;search for; look for

(1)search指“搜查某地或搜身”，其賓語可以是房屋、人身、衣袋等名詞。如：

They searched their homes without any reason.他們毫無理由地搜查了他們的家。

They searched him but found nothing.他們搜了他的身，但沒有找到什么。

(2)search for 則指“搜尋、搜索某人或物”。如：

They searched for him everywhere.他們到處搜尋他。

The police searched the wood for the lost child.警察在樹林里尋找走失的孩子。

試比較：They searched his clothes.他們搜查了他的衣服。（看是否藏有東西）

They searched for his clothes.他們在搜尋他的衣服。（要找到衣服）

另外，search也可用做名詞，in search of “尋找、尋求”是個常見短語。如：

The boys went in search of something to eat.孩子們去找東西吃。

(3)look for意為“尋找”，同search for意義大體相同。但search for 意味較強，用很大注意力搜尋。而look for則較為通俗，常用于日常用語。如:

I looked for my missing pen everywhere.我到處找我丟失的那支筆。

2. be certain…; be sure

be uncertain about意思是“對……不確定（沒把握）”

uncertain的詞根是certain,意思是“確信的，有把握的”，常用于以下結構：

(1)be certain(sure) to do sth.“肯定會做……”（表示某事將要發生）。如：

He is certain(sure) to come next Sunday.

(2)be certain(sure) of/ about sth.“確信、有把握”（表示某個人的思想狀態）。如：

We are certain/ sure of victory.

(3)名詞從句作主語時，一般多用certain.

It is certain that he will come.

3. “喜歡”的表示方法

英語中，表示“喜歡”的動詞或詞組有若干個，它們的語氣強弱不同，有重有輕，意思也不完全一樣，下面分別舉例說明：

(1)love 意為“熱愛”，指引起深厚的、強烈的感情的愛，并有一種依附意，語氣最重。如：

His mother,whom he loved deeply,died when he was only a small boy.他深深愛戴著他的母親，當他小的時候，她與世長辭了。

I love doing comedies .我喜歡演喜劇。

(2)be fond of 表示“喜歡” “熱愛”，也表示對某人或某事有感情，語氣次于“love”。如：

Ants are fond of sweet food.螞蟻喜歡吃甜食。

I’m fond of this child.我喜歡這個小孩。

(3)care for意為“喜歡、對……有興趣”。如：

The girl cares much for new clothes.這個女孩很喜歡新衣服。

They do not care very greatly for art.他們對藝術不是很感興趣。

(4)like意為“喜歡”，指不反感，但不引起強烈的感情和迫切的愿意，反義詞為dislike.如：

Do you like reading?你喜歡閱讀嗎？

I like to read in bed.我喜歡在床上看書。

(5)enjoy意為“欣賞”“喜歡”，具有滿足感，如：

I enjoy foreign music.我喜歡外國音樂。

Most students enjoy asking questions in English.大部分學生喜歡用英語問問題。

(6)go in for“喜歡（做某類事）、有某種習慣或做法”。如：

What sports do you go in for?你喜歡哪些體育運動？

We don’t go in for that sort of thing.我們不喜歡那種事情。

4. 用不定式或動名詞意義不同

(1) 有些動詞+動詞不定式或動名詞，意思上沒有區別。如：begin,start,like,love,prefer,hate,continue等。

Do you like playing(to play) chess?你喜歡下棋嗎？

I prefer making(to make) an outline before I make a speech.我喜歡講話之前先擬一個提綱。

但有時這些動詞后用動名詞表示一般傾向，用不定式表示特定的一次動作。如：

I like reading novels, but don’t like to read this novel.我喜歡看小說，但不喜歡看這一本小說。

(2)有些動詞后 + 動詞不定式或動名詞意義不同。

①remember to do something記住做某事（動作未發生）

remember doing something記得做過某事（動作已發生），如：

I must remember to close the window when I have the room.我必須記住在我離開房間時把窗戶關上。

I remember closing the window when I left the room.我記得離開房間時我已關上了窗戶。

②forget to do something忘記做某事

forget doing something已做過某事但忘記了，如：

Don’t forget to turn off the light.不要忘了關燈。

He forgot posting the letter for me, though he really did.盡管他替我寄了信，但忘記了。

③regret to do something對要做的事感到遺憾

regret doing something對做過的事后悔，如：

I regret to tell you that you failed in the exam.我遺憾地告訴你考試沒有及格。

He regrets saying that to her.他很后悔對她講那件事。

④try to do sth.盡力/設法做某事

⑤mean to do something打算做某事

mean doing something意味著，如：

What do you mean to do with it?你打算怎樣對付它呢？

My words don’t mean hurting you.我的話并不意味著傷害你。

⑥stop to do something停下原來做的事，開始做另一件事

stop doing something停止正在做的事，如：

He stopped to talk with the teacher.他停下來和老師談話。

He stopped talking with the teacher.他停止了和老師的談話。

⑦go on to do something做完某事改做其他事（或在做某事過程中停了一段時間后繼續做該事）

go on doing something繼續做一直做的事（中間未停頓），如：

He went on to show us how to do it in a different way.他接著又教我們用另一種方法做這件事。

He went on talking as if nothing had happened.他若無其事地繼續講下去。

⑧can’t help(to)do something不能幫助做某事。

Can’t help doing something禁不住要做某事，如：

I couldn’t help(to)finish your homework.我不能幫你完成作業。

When the mother saw her lost son, she couldn’t help crying.當母親看到她失而復得的兒子時，情不自禁地哭起來。

⑨另，consider sb.to be/to have done把……看做；認為，consider后為不定式的，復合結構時，to be可省略。

consider doing something考慮做某事，如：

We consider Lincoln(to be) a great man.我們都認為林肯是個偉人。

I consider him to have passed the exam. 我認為他已通過考試。

⑩另，be afraid to do something不敢做某事

be afraid of doing something害怕做某事，如：

They are afraid to tell me the truth.他們不敢告訴我真相。

The students are afraid of breaking glass.學生們害怕打碎杯子。

5. as;which引導定語從句異同

as, which 都能引導限制性或非限制性的定語從句。

(1)在引導限制性定語從句時；

①which從句修飾的先行詞是名詞（詞組），which可與that換用，作賓語時可省去。如：

Then grow some tomatoes in one box which has plant food in the soil and some in another box which doesn’t.

But the studios(which)he started are still busy today,producing

more and more interesting films.

②as從句的先行詞是the same/such或被the same/such修飾；as可作主、賓、表語，一律不可省略。如：

Many of the sports were the same as they are now.（as作表語）

He uses the same map as I (use).他和我用的是同一份地圖。（as作賓語）

Such as beautiful park as is being built was designed by two young engineers.正在建造的如此漂亮的公園是由兩個年輕的工程師設計的。（as作主語）

The printed newspaper was not such as the chief editor had expected. 印好的報紙并非如主編原來所期望的那樣。（as作賓語）

(2)在引導非限制性定語從句時，as,which都可作主、賓、表語，都不可省去。

①which從句補充說明先行詞的用途、性質、狀態、特征等。如：

At present,the biggest nature park for milu deer in China is in the Nanhaizi Milu Park,which is about 20 kilometres south of Beijing.(位置)

China Daily has plenty of advertisements, which help to cut

the costs of making the newspaper.(用途)

One of Charile Chaplin’s most famous films was“The Gold Rush”,which was made in 1925.(時間)

Now, however,the maters of this great lake,which is also the

World’s deepest(over 1,740 metres),have been dirtied by waste

from a chemical factory.(特征)

②which從句還可表示說話人的看法，也可對主句作意義上的補充；which=and it/ this/ that/ they;which代表的是先行詞、主句或主句的一部分；which從句只能放在先行詞或主句后。如：

He said she could speak 4 foreign languages, which(=and it)is not true.他說她會四門外語，這是不可能的。（說話人看法，which代表賓語從句部分）

比較：He said she could speak 4 foreign languages, which(=and that)surprised every one of us.他說她會四門外語，這使我們每個人都很驚訝。（補充主句，which 代表主句）

③as也可代表先行詞、主句或主句一部分。但as有“正如”的意義，其從句可放在主句前或后，如：

The Nanjing Changjiang River Bridge,as we all know, was compl-

eted in 1969.我們都知道南京長江大橋，它建成于一九六九年。（as代表先行詞）

To shut your eyes to facts, as many of you do, is foolish.(如)你們許多人（所做的那樣）對事實視而不見是愚蠢的。（as代表主語部分）

6. would like; should like

(1)兩個短語均指“想要……”，與want同義，但would(should)like的語氣較want婉轉或客氣。

(2)would like 可用于各種人稱；而should like則主要用于第一人稱。例如：

He would(不用should)like to be a doctor.他希望當大夫。

We would(不用should)like to hear your views about it.我們想聽聽你對這個問題的看法。

(3)在疑問句中常用would like,而不用should like。例如：

What would you like for breakfast?你早飯想吃什么？

(4)這兩個短語常常簡略為’d like,后面可接名詞、代詞或動詞不定式，不接動名詞。例如：

Would you like to leave a message?你要不要留話？

誤：Would you like leaving a message?

(5)在省略回答中，would like to 中的to 不可省略，只省略to后面的詞語（但be 除外）。例如：

①-Would you like to join us tonigh?

-Oh, I’d like to (join you),but I have a friend to see off at the station.

② -Would you like to be a singer?

-Yes,I’d like to be (a singer).

7. shape;form; figure

這組名詞都有“形狀”的意思。

shape 著重指人或物等的比較具體的整個外形，不太正式；form指有實體結構和看得見的某種特殊形狀或是抽象的形式；figure指物時，側重指輪廊，指人時，著重指姿態。如：

Coins may be of different sizes,weights, shapes, and of diff-

erent metals. 硬幣可能大小、輕重、形狀不同，鑄造的金屬也可能不一樣。

The shape of Italy is like a leg.意大利國的形狀像一條腿。

Change these sentences into the Present Perfect Passive,putting the verbs into the correct forms.用動詞的正確形式將下面的句子變成現在完成時的被動語態 。

Ice,snow and steam are forms of water.冰、雪、蒸氣是水的幾種形態。

You can see the tall stone figures and visit the temples of the gods.你可以看到那些高大的石雕像，參觀那些神殿。

這組名詞也可當動詞用，shape意為“使什么東西具有某種具體的外

形”，常有“塑造”等具體意義；form指通過協商、組織等形成某種習慣、計劃或組織等，一般相當于“形成”;figure通常指象征某事物。

8.be of…結構小結

(1)be of + 表示年齡（age）、大小（size）、顏色（color）、重量（weight）、高度（height）、價格（price）、意見（opinion）、形狀（shape）、種類（kind）和方法（way）等名詞，說明主語的特征，of表示“具有”之意，有時可省去。例如：

They are both of middle height.他倆都是中等個兒。

When I was of your age, I was a teacher.當我是你這個年齡時，我當老師了。

These flowers are of different colors.這些花朵顏色不同。

Tom is of a different way of thinking.湯姆的思維方式與別人不同。

注意：此結構中，如果of后面的名詞前有不定冠詞a/an，則a/an=the same.例如：

The two boys are of an/the same age.這兩個男孩同齡。

These bottles are of a/the same size.這些瓶子大小一樣。

(2)be of + 物質名詞，表示主語是由某材料制成或某成分構成，相當于be made of, be built of或be made up of等。例如：

The necklace is(made)of glass.這項鏈是玻璃制的。

The bridge is (built)of stone.這橋是由石頭構筑的。

Our class is (made up)of over 50 students. 我班有50多個學生。

(3)be of + 抽象名詞（如value, importance,use, help等），of表示“具有、具備”等意思，of不能省，這一結構相當于be+該抽象名詞相應的形容詞。例如：

They are of great help/ very helpful to learners of English.他們對英語學習者來說是很有幫助的。

In fact, sports and games can be of great value/very valuable.事實上體育運動是很有價值的。

The book is of no use/useless to us.這書對我們無用。

It is of great importance/very important to study English.學習英語很重要。

因此，根據上述(1),(2)點可以看出，課文句中第一個be of 結構表示“具有”，第二個be of(承前省去be)表示“由……制成的”。全句漢語意思為：“硬幣的大小、重量、形狀可能各不相同，并由不同的金屬制成。”

9. whatever用法小結

whatever 是一種用法較特殊的代詞，兼有連接詞和關系詞的作用，主要有以下三種用法：

(1)引導主語從句和賓語從句，意思是“凡是……的事物(=anything that)”.

Whatever I have is yours.我所有的東西就是你的。(主語從句)

Go to stamp sales and buy whatever you can afford.到郵票銷售處去把你能買得起的郵票都買下來。（賓語從句）

She would tell him whatever news she got.她會把所聽到的任何消息都告訴他。（賓語從句）

Talk to me about whatever is troubling you.把任何使你煩惱的事都對我談談。（介詞賓語從句）

whatever在這類從句中可作主語、賓語、定語等。

(2)引導狀語從句，多表示讓步，意思是“不管什么、無論怎樣”。如：

Don’t change your plans, whatever happens.無論怎樣，你都別改變計劃。

Whatever I am, it’s useful to know foreign languages.無論我做什么工作，懂外語總是有用的。

So don’t lose heart, whatever you do。因此無論你做什么，都不要喪失信心。

Whatever the old man was like, most of his scientific work was sound.無論那位老人怎么樣，他大部分的科研工作是好的。

You have to go on,whatever difficulties you meet.無論你遇到什么困難，你都必須干下去。

Whatever在這類從句中可作主語、表語、賓語、介詞賓語、定語等。

這類句中的某些成分還可以省略。如：

The country is always beautiful whatever the season(is).無論哪個季節，這個國家總是很美。

10.感嘆句表達方式

感嘆句表示說話時的驚訝、喜悅、贊賞和憤怒等情緒。大多數感嘆句是由what和how引導，其句型結構為“What(或How)+感嘆部分+主語+謂語！”。也有少量其他形式的感嘆句，現一并歸納如下：

(1)What 引導的感嘆句

What 用做定語，修飾名詞，其引導的感嘆句句型結構為：

①What+a(an)+可數名詞單數+主語+謂語！如：

What an orphan he is!他是個多么可憐的孤兒啊！

②What+a (an)+形容詞+可數名詞單數+主語+謂語！如：

What a beautiful voice she has!她的聲音多美啊！

③What+形容詞+可數名詞復數+主語+謂語！如：

What kind doctors they are!他們是多好的醫生啊！

④What+形容詞+不可數名詞+主語+謂語！如：

What good news it is!

(2)How 引起的感嘆句

How 用做狀語，修飾形容詞、副詞和動詞，其引導的感嘆句句型結構為：

①How+形容詞+主語+謂語！

How clever you are!

②How+副詞+主語+謂語！

How well she dances!

③How +形容詞+a(an)+可數名詞單數+主語+謂語！如：

How good a student he is!

④How+主語+謂語！如：

How the teachers worked!教師們工作多么努力啊！

⑤How+many(few)+可數名詞的復數+主語+謂語！如：

How many books you have read!

⑥How much(little)+不可數名詞+主語+謂語！如：

How little money the coat cost!

(3)“What+a(an)+形容詞+可數名詞單數+主語+謂語！”句型可轉換為“How+形容詞+a(an)+可數名詞單數+主語+謂語！”句型。如；

What a clever boy he is!

How clever a boy he is!

(4)感嘆句常將主語和謂語動詞省略，以“What+名詞！”或“How+形容詞！”的形式構成。如：

What a fine student!

What mountains!

How wonderful!

How brave!

(5)其他形式的感嘆句

有時候，可不用what和how來表示感嘆，而用陳述句、疑問句、祈使句，甚至一個詞或詞組來表示感嘆。如：

She is such a nice girl!她是一個多好的姑娘啊！（陳述句）

Who do you think you are!你算老幾！（疑問句）

“Stop the train! Stop the train!”(祈使句)

Wonderful!(一個詞)

Happy New Year!(詞組)

三、精典名題導解

題1 （NMET 1995）

When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, it looks as if it _______.

A. breaks B. has broken C. were broken D. had been broken

分析：C。因句意表達的是“鉛筆部分放于水中”所出現的狀態，即“看上去像折掉了一樣”，所以空白處應用虛擬語氣。

題2 （NMET 1997）

The two strangers talked as if they _______ friends for years.

A. should be B. would be C. have been D. had been

分析：D。從talked一詞可知是過去情況的虛擬形式。

題3 The sun is the centre of the universe, __________ we all know.

A. for B. as C. that D. what

分析：B。as可以引導非限制性定語從句，經常與know連用，as代替前面一句話，即，先行詞是一句話。

題4 He paid the boy washing ten windows, most of _________ hadn’t been cleaned for at least a year.

A. these B. those C. that D. which

分析：D。從句中的逗號可以判斷，橫線上缺少一個關系代詞引導定語從句，that不能作介詞賓語。

題5 （NMET 2000）

These wild flowers are so special that I would do__________I can to save them.

A. whatever B. that C. which D. whichever

分析：A。句中I can后省略了do.即應為I can do to save them, do后沒有賓語，所以應用whatever,意為“任何事情、不論什么”。

題6 (上海 2002)

There’s a feeling in me_________We’ll never know what a UFO is-not ever.

A. that B. which C. of which D. what

分析：A。that的先行詞是a feeling in me ,是一個定語從句。

題7 It’s no use _______the small matters again.

A. discuss about B. to discuss

C. discussing D. having a discussion

分析：C。It’s not use doing sth…做某事沒有用。

題8 Very few can_______ the difference between the two words.

A. speak B. say C. tell D. talk

分析：C。四個選項在詞意上有區別。speak(講)和say(說)均為不及物動詞；tell(告訴)為及物動詞；talk(談話)為不及物動詞。tell和can或can’t 連用，表示“分辨”。

All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most folks are friendly. But this man was different.

“How much do you make a week, boy?” he asked me. I felt he was 36 at me.

He kept giving a sharp 37 around every now and then. All the time I kept 38 where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I’d seen his 39 in the post many times. He was the big robber: 40 by the police in three states!

“You know,”he was saying, “it's imagination people lack. You'll never get 41 as a shoeshine boy. ”

I kept brushing away on his shoes as 42 as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said, “When I was sixteen, I had 43 $ 2,500 of my own. ”

That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2,500 or $ 5,000 or $ 25,000? I wasn't

44 . I knew a big reward was 45 for him.

But what could I do about it? 46 him with a can of shoe polish? A man his 47 could grind (碾碎) me into the floor. If only someone would come in !

He kept talking away. “Along with 48 , it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring. ”

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey 49 across the street. Then, real fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.

The policeman was at the window when I cried out, “Officer Dailey, 50 !This

go the 52 he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

“That was pretty 53 of you,”the officer said. “You'll get a reward of $ 7, 500 for him. ”

Well, it really wasn’t my 54 ,” I said. “It was his. He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something 55 on a shoestring”.

Japanese people, who never miss a chance to be photographed, were lining up to get their pictures on a postage stamp. Vanity (虛榮) stamps with personal photographs went on sale for the first time in Japan as part of an international postage stamp exhibition. The customer’s photo is taken with a digital camera and then printed on stamp sheets, a process that takes about five minutes. Sold in a sheet of 10 stamps for $ 8.80, little more than the cost of lunch in Tokyo, each stamp printed a different scene from a traditional painting along with the photo.

The stamps can be used normally to mail a letter, and postal officials hope they will help encourage interest in letter-writing in the Internet age. “Certainly e-mail is a useful method of communication, but letters are fun in a different way, “said Hatsumi Shimizu, an official in the Post Ministry. “We want to show young people that letters can be fun too. “

While similar stamp sheets appeared in Australia in 1999 and are now sold in some 12 nations and territories, Japan’s fondness for commemorative photos is likely to make them especially popular here. Indeed, officials had prepared 1,000 sheets but they were sold out in less than 30 minutes. Although the stamps are currently only available as a special service during the exhibition, postal a regular basis in the future.

Women work harder than men at university and get better degrees as a result, according to a study carried out at Burnel University.

The research, which tracked 200 students over four years, found that women consistently outperformed men in further education even though they had started their courses with almost the same A-level results.

An analysis of the department% results showed that while 65 per cent of female graduates were awarded, only 35 per cent of males did that well.

Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research shows the trend continues at university.

Fiona Smith, the senior lecturer at Brunel who led the study, said: “The survey proved a previously held opinion that the educational sex gap is purely a middle wrong school phenomenon. ”

It also makes the unfairness for working women in terms of pay. Women work. harder at school, harder at university and do better in both, yet still receive less pay.

The survey found that female students were harder working, less likely to miss lectures and more likely to believe their marks reflected their ability than their male competitors. Female students were also more likely to seek and receive support from teachers.

On the contrary, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to

“laziness” and to believe that playing sport was an important part of university life.

Different from the popular argument that women's success is due to the increased emphasis on coursework, female geographers at Brunel did better in exams than in coursework, the research found.

The study, based on 180 questionnaires and interviews with more than 70 students, concluded that males underachieved because they felt working hard was not “macho”.

Dr Smith said: "Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe they need to work harder in order to be able to compete in the male-controlled environment they will face at work: good grades are viewed as an “insurance policy” for success. Men, on the other hand, feel that it's not “macho” to work hard. They tend to put going out and playing sport higher than

coursework.

60. The underlined word “It” in the sixth paragraph probably refers to .

A. the previously held opinion

C. the survey

B. a middle school phenomenon

D. the educational sex gap

61. The cause of women performing better at university than men is that .

A. female students did better at school before entering university

B. women will not find jobs unless working harder at university

C. women get more help and support from the teachers

D. most female students thinks good grades at university will benefit them in the future.

62. The underlined word “macho” might have the same meaning as .

A. pround B. manly C. brave D. strong

63. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

A. Women Outperform Men at University.

B. Women Should Receive the Same Pay as Men.

C. Males at University Perform too Badly.

D. Females Do Better at School as Well as at University.

When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and right-thinking people worried about how to feed the hungry. Now, in much of the world, the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and right-thinking people are worrying about fatness.

Evolution (進化) is mostly to blame. It has designed mankind to deal with lack, not plenty. People are perfectly fit to store energy in good years to see them through lean ones. But when bad times never come, they are stuck with that energy, stored around their expanding bellies (腹部).

Thanks to rising agricultural productivity, lean years are rarer all over the globe. According to the UN, the number of people short of food fell from 920m in 1980 to 799m 20 years later, even though the world's population increased by 1.6 billion over the period. This is mostly a cause for celebration. Mankind has won what was, for most of his time on this planet, his biggest battle, to ensure that he and his offspring had enough to eat. But every silver lining has a cloud, and the result of prosperity (繁榮) is a new trouble.

Fatness is the world's biggest public-health topic today-the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war; the major risk factor in diabetes (糖尿病) ; heavily connected with cancer and other diseases. Since the World Health Organization labeled fatness an “epidemic (流行病)” in 2000, reports on its fearful results have come thick and fast.

Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century’s dining to overload. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now an agreement among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.

64. What′s the main idea the writer intends to tell us in this passage?

A. It’s harmful to have enough to eat.

B. It’s better to be thin than fat.

C. Fatness is the greatest danger in the world.

D. Fatness has become a great health problem.

65. It can be inferred from the passage that the biggest problem in history is .

A. people were thin

B. people smoked heavily

C. there was not enough food to eat

D. people stored energy in good years

66. Why does the author compare smoking with the fatness problem in this passage?

A. They are both problems difficult to settle.

B. They both lead to the same diseases.

C. They are both bad habits.

D. They are both harmful to health.

67. Which of the following is true according to this passage?

A. Man has got rid of lean years by raising agricultural productivity.

B. Though difficult, man may break away from the fatness problem.

C. Fatness may cause many diseases such as heart disease, AIDS and cancer.

D. The doctors feel that they can do nothing about the fatness problem.

If it’s possible to see red about not seeing red, that is what I was doing. We had misjudged the timing of our autumn trip to see the changing leaves in the Great Lakes states, and I was really upset. No matter how I strained my eyes (使勁用眼), I couldn’t spot red anywhere. Not even a bit of golden yellow broke through the dull greenery.

This vacation was a complete waste. I sat alone in the backseat of our rented car and got angry as we drove north through the dull, dark green. In the front seat my husband and father chatted merrily, obviously unconcerned.

Then a motto came to mind :“Happiness is a decision. ”It must have been something my mother said. She was always passing on words of advice. When I was a child she gave me a little black book with empty pages. On the flyleaf (扉頁) she had written, “Look for a beautiful thing and you will find it. ”I was supposed to keep a record of the most beautiful thing I saw day.

I remember spending hours debating what I'd write down. A baby's dimpled smile? A stone shining with fool's gold? Pictures in the clouds, or tulips (郁金香) tipping their heads? I found so many things it was impossible to pick just one.

Now, on the road, I played Mother's game again. I took in the all-green scenery. Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long conical (圓錐形的) pines and spruce (云杉) was seen here and there. Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a girl again -surrounded by beautiful things.

Later in the trip, after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the bright fall plants I had been looking for. But by then I'd already seen a million shades of green, the infinite variety and beauty that only our heavenly Father can produce. And that we can always find - if we look closely enough.

68. What was the purpose of the author's trip?

A. To see the green forest.

B. To have a sightseeing across America.

C. To see red leaves in fall.

D. To try out the motto her mother gave her.

69. What's the point the author wants to show in the passage?

A. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.

B. No pains, no gains.

C. Failure is the mother of success.

D. Beauty exists if you have an eye for it.

70. Which of the following can best describe the author's feeling at the end of her trip?

A. Delighted B. Angry C. Disappointed D. Surprised

71. The underlined phrase "see red" in the first paragraph probably means .

A. get discouraged B. get angry

C. get ashamed D. get excited

E

The English language is changing, and fast, thanks to the rapid progress of technology. We all have a choice: We can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well. Or we can embrace (擁抱) the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it Weblish.

"You can't avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it inevitably impacts (沖擊) on the language as a whole," says Dr. David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics (語言學家) at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book "Language and the Internet" has just been published.

The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac (which is a computer, not a raincoat). Spare is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing (引不起食欲) canned meat, it now stands for unwanted “junk” e-mail. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing "hvc wth vrbs " (havoc (混亂) with verbs), but the conventions of e-mail communication place little emphasis on “perfick speling. ”

Wcblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs ( “Please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns ( “Send me the download”). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives (dial-up, logon, print-out,pull-clown, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyberspace, ethernet , Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak.

72. The best title of this passage would be .

A. Keep up with the latest weblish

B. Keep up with the latest development in English

C. Newly-invented English words

D. Technology and English

73. We can infer from the first paragraph that .

A. some people wish Shakespeare were still alive

B. people may have different attitudes towards weblish

C. all the people welcome weblish

D. weblish causes fear among people

74. The third paragraph is mainly about

A. different meanings of English words

B. the rapid changes of English words

C. the difficulty in understanding words related to computer and the Internet

D. the common words used on the Internet

75. Dr. David Crystal would probably agree that

A. people should not accept weblish

B. weblish can cause misunderstandings among people

C. weblish will destroy the English language

D. people should know something about weblish

Little Fu Dan is one of the children who have to bear heavy burden in China today. Every day after school, and even at weekends, he is rushed to so many extra courses, such as music, art, mathematics, English, computer etc. that he almost has no time left to enjoy himself or to do what he likes. Parents nowadays just have too much expectation from their children. In my opinion, parents should give more time for their children to play instead of doing endless homework or attending so many extra courses, which does no good to both their mind and health.

10. Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket, when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat - but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it, pushing against the front of the car. Another man who was standing nearby got into the car and put on the handbrake, saving the girls from injury.

It was at this point that Paul noticed his own car roiling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to Stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage.

As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he didn't get the name of the driver of the sports car, who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.
