(三)要点
1.though （1）adv. 副词，用于口语中，in spite of this ; however ；意思是“尽管如此，然而”，放在句尾。（2）conj. 连词，although ; despite the fact that 意思是“虽然，尽管”，放在句首或句中，不与but连用。
2. remind sb of sb./sth. “提醒某人某事；使某人回想起或意识到某人（某事）。例如：Reading the text reminds me of its author Lu Xun. 读这篇课文使我想起了它的作者鲁迅。remind sb. to do sth. 意为“提醒某人去做某事”。例如： Mother often reminds me not to be late for school. 妈妈常提醒我上学不要迟到。
3.be on display相当于be on show，意为“展览、展出”。在英语中，on+名词，往往含有“正在进行”之意。如：on duty“值日”，on business“在办事”，on show“被展览”，on leave“在休假”，on fire“在着火”，on sale“在出售”等。
4.whatever, whoever, whichever, wherever等疑问词，可引导状语从句，表示“无论……，不管……”之意。在口语中还可用no matter + wh一词来代替。例如：Whatever I did ( =No matter what I did ), no one paid any attention. 不管我做什么事，都没有人注意。
5.“It is said + that从句”，意为“据说……”。也可以用“They say + that从句”或“People say + that从句”替换。
6.touristy为形容词，是由tourist加后缀-y而构成的。相当于full of tourists 意为“（贬义、口语）游客很多的，吸引游客的”。例如：The coast is terribly touristy now. 海滨区现在到处都是游客。
7.on vacation 意为“在度假，在休假中”，这主要是美式用法，英国人常用on holiday. 其中的介词on是表示状态、方法等，意思是“进行中，在……中，于……状态”。例如：
The Smith family is now on vacation. 史密斯一家正在度假。（也可用on holiday）
8.go +on（或for）＋名词，常表示“去……”。例如：
They’d like to go on a picnic this weekend. 这个周末他们想去野餐。
Would you like to go for a swim after school? 放学以后你想去游泳吗？
9. hope作动词，也可以作名词，表示“希望”，“愿望”。作为动词，hope后面可接动词不定式或宾语从句。hope还可以与so，not用于简略回答中。hope作名词时，既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词。
10.somewhere常用作副词，意为“到某处，在某处”。与之类似构成的单词还有：anywhere（在任何地方，到任何地方），nowhere（无处，到处都没有），everywhere（到处，处处）。somewhere用于肯定句，而在否定句、疑问句、if（whether）从句中，则用anywhere。 somewhere有时与修饰语或短语连用，或成为宾语而当名词用。这时候，其修饰语或短语要置于somewhere之后。例如：
They need somewhere to stay. 他们需要找个地方呆一会。
即使形式为疑问句，但说话者心中的肯定意识较强时，或实际上表示请求劝诱时，有时不用anywhere而用somewhere。例如： Shall we go somewhere else? 我们去别的地方好吗？
11.consider是动词，意为“仔细考虑，深思熟虑，再三考虑”，后面可接名词，从句，副词，接动词时要用v-ing形式。
12.get around意为“观光，到处走动”。其中的around可作介词，也可作副词，表示“在各处，朝……四处，遍及”等意思。
13.be supposed to在这里相当于should，意为“应该，理应”。例如：The teachers are supposed to know a lot. 这些老师应当知道很多。
14.fix up在这里意为“修理”，是一个动副词组。另外fix up还有“为某人安排或提供……”的意思。
15.try to do sth意为“设法或努力去做某事”，而try doing sth.意为“尝试着做某事”。
16.by mistake为介词词组，意为“弄错，无意中（做错了事）”。例如：I took his backpack by mistake. 我错拿了他的书包。另外make mistakes为动宾词组，意为“犯错误”。例如：He often makes a mistake in his spelling. 他经常在拼写上出错。
17.go off在这里的意思为“（闹钟）闹响”。另外go off还有“离开；消失；坏了”等意思。
18.marry sb表示“嫁给某人；与……结婚”。例如：John married Mary last week.上星期约翰和玛丽结婚了。marry的其他常见用法还有：
①be/get married to sb表示“与某人结婚”。如： Jane was married to a doctor last month. 上个月简和一位医生结婚了。
Rose got married to a teacher.罗斯和一位教师结婚了。
②marry sb to sb表示“（父母）把（女儿）嫁给某人”或“为（儿子）娶媳妇”。如： She married her daughter to a businessman.她把女儿嫁给了一位商人。
③marry作不及物动词时，往往用副词或介词短语来修饰。例如：She married very early. 她很早就结婚了。
She married at the age of 22. 她二十二岁结了婚。
二、要点剖析
1.词语辨析
(1)would like与want
二者都有“想要”的含义，但would like较want更加委婉。二者后面都可接“名词或不定式”，也可接“名词＋不定式”的结构，would like在口语中常说成“’d like”，可适用于所有人称；而want则要根据人称和数的变化而变化。在语言表达中，二者大多可以互换使用，但在语气的委婉程度上是有差别，这一点在具体的语言环境中要注意。例如：
She wants a cup of coffee. = She’d like a cup of coffee. 她想要一杯咖啡。
His uncle would like to buy a new car. = His uncle wants to buy a new car. 他叔叔想买辆新车。
My friends want to play soccer after school. = My friends would like to play soccer after school. 我的朋友想在放学后踢足球。
(2)show与display
show的使用范围很广，也常用在非正式场合。例如：Please show me your hands. 请把手伸出来看看。
This last sentence shows you what will happen.最后一句向你展示要发生什么。
display强调“摆出来给人家看，或把要给人家看的东西精心陈列出来，以期待好的展示效果”。
例如：The peacock is displaying its fine feathers.这只孔雀在展示自己美丽的羽毛。
(2)through与across
二者都可译为“穿过”，但through是指从空间较狭窄的一头“穿”行到另一头，常指从事物（氛围）内部穿过，含义与in有关系。
across是指从一条线或某一事物的表面的一边到另一边，常可译为“横过”，“横穿”，含义与in有关。例如：
The train is running through the tunnel. 火车正从隧道中穿过。
It’s dangerous to go across the road when traffic lights are red. 红灯亮时过马路很危险。
(3)because, as, since, for
这四个词都是表示各种理由的连词。但because多表示所叙述的理由是本句的重点，故because所引导的从句多放于句末。例如：
Why am I leaving? I’m leaving because I want to. 为什么我要离开？因为我想离开。
as, since用于表示理由是已知，而理由以外才是叙述的重点，两者皆多用于句首。但要注意：since更重形式，as多表示理由以外才是重点。例如：
Since you have no license, you are not allowed to drive. 因为你没有驾驶执照，所以你不可以开车。
As it is raining, let’s stay at home. 因为下雨，我们就留在家里吧。
for不用于句首，而用于主句之后，补充说明理由；主句表推测时，要用for说明理由。例如：
I’ll follow his advice, for he is a doctor. 我会听从他的劝告，因为他是医生。
(4)hope与wish
这两个词作动词，都有“希望，期望”之意。
hope与wish后都可接动词不定式，但wish后还可接“sb. + to do sth. ”的结构，而hope则不可以。如果用hope表达主语希望别人做某事时，后面要接宾语从句。例如：
Jim hopes to get a baby horse for his birthday. 吉姆希望在生日那天能得到一匹小马。
The little girl hopes her mother will come home from work earlier today. 这个小女孩希望她妈妈能早点下班回家。
My aunt wishes to find her lost watch somewhere. 我姑姑希望在什么地方能找到她丢失的手表。
The little girl wishes her mother to come home from work earlier every day. 这个小女孩希望妈妈每天早点下班回家。
hope表示“说话者以为想要做的事”，通过努力可以实现；而wish常表示“说话者要想做某事”，但不去想可能实现与否，或认为可能性不太大。另外，hope表示“未来可能的希望”，而wish表示“与事实相反的愿望”。例如：
We hope to visit this place again. 我们希望能再度探访此地。
We hoped to save more money. 我们希望能存更多的钱。
(5) be used for, be used as, be used by, be used to
be used for意为“被用来做……”，介词for表用途，后面加名词或动名词。例如：Stamps are used for sending letters. 邮票是用于寄信的。
be used as.意为“被用作……”，介词as表示“作为”，后面接名词。例如：English is also used very widely as a foreign language in many other countries in the world. 在世界上许多国家里，英语也作为一种外语被广泛使用。
be used by意为“被使用”，介词by后面接动作的执行者。例如：English is used by travelers and business people all over the world. 世界各地的旅行者和商人都使用英语。
be used to doing sth.意为“习惯做某事”；be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。例如：
The foreigner has been used to living here.那位外国人已经习惯了居住在这里。
Knives can be used to cut apples.刀可以用来切苹果。
(6)find out, discover
find out指通过观察、探索而发现事实的真相。一般指主观有意识的动作。例如：Think it over, and you’ll find out the way to solve this problem. 仔细考虑，你就会发现解决问题的办法。
discover指发现的对象是本来存在的，只是以前不知道；也可指发现新奇或意外之物或某种情况。例如：Columbus discovered America in 1492. 哥伦布于1492年发现了美洲。
(7)happen与take place
①happen作“发生”讲，主要指偶然发生，而且多指整个情况。例如：How did the accident happen? 事故是怎样发生的？
②take place作“发生”解时较为正式，不带有偶然之意，并经常用来指经事先安排的事情。例如：“The May Fourth Movement” took place in 1919. “五四运动”发生于1919年。
2.句型分析
(1)If you are looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. 如果你正想找乐趣，就呆在家里看电视。
这是if 引导条件状语从句。意为“如果，假使”。例如：If you are ill. you must see the doctor. 如果你病了，就必须去看医生。
在if引导的条件状语从句或when引导的时间状语从句中，如果主句是将来时态，从句的谓语动词用一般现在时代替将来时。例如：Lucy will see a film, if she has a time. 如果Lucy有时间，她就去看电影。
(2)Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. 一定要看这次在Lido Gallery的展出。
[用法]be sure to do sth.用在祈使句中，不是表示判断，而是表示对对方的要求，意为“务必要”，“一定要”。例如：Be sure not to forget it！千万别忘记呀！
由be sure构成的句型有：
①be sure＋of/about+动名词或名词，意为“确信……”；“对……有把握”。例如： He is sure of success. 他自信会成功的。
但是如果后面要接反身代词时，则只能用be sure of，即be sure of oneself，意为“有自信心”。例如：Joan will have an examination next week, but she is not sure of herself. 琼下周要参加一个考试，但她对自己没有十分把握。
②be sure+不定式，意为“必定”、“必然会”、“准会”。例如：It is sure to rain. 天一定会下雨。
③be sure+宾语从句，意为“确信某事一定会……”。例如：I’m not sure whether I’ve met him before. 我不能确定以前是否见到过他。
(3) For your next vacation, why not consider visiting Singapore? 你为什么不考虑到新加坡度下一次假呢？
consider意为“考虑、细想”。其常用于下列句型：
①consider + 从句。例如：Li Lei began to consider how he could pass the exam. 李雷开始考虑如何通过这次考试。
②consider + doing sth 例如：I am considering changing my job. 我正考虑换个工作。
③consider + sth（名词）。例如：You should consider the matter very well. 你要好好考虑这件事。
(4)Not only do I feel good about helping other people, but I get to spending time doing what I love to do. 关于帮助别人，我不但感觉很好，而且我开始花时间做我喜欢做的事。
not only … but also意为“不但……而且”，其中also可以省略。它的用法如下：
①它可以连接句子的主语、谓语、表语、宾语等，强调but also引出的内容。当用来连接主语时，谓语应与最近的主语保持一致。例如： I went to see not only him but also his brother. 我不仅是去看他，而且去看他的弟弟。 （连接宾语）
Not only the students but also their teacher likes football. 不仅学生们喜欢足球，老师也喜欢。（连接主语，谓语likes与teacher的人称和数保持一致）
She can not only sing but also dance. 她不但会唱歌而且会跳舞。（连接谓语）
②当Not only位于句首时，前一个分句倒装，即谓语或部分谓语提到主语前面。但连接并列主语时除外。例如：Not only did he come, but also he was very happy. 他不但来了，而且很高兴。
(5)Although tea wasn’t brought to the western world until 1610, ……。尽管西方世界直到1610年才有茶叶，……。
although意为“虽然……，（但是）……”，用作从属连词，引导让步状语从句。although（虽然）与but（但是）不能同时用。另外在英语句子中，because与so，little, few与no都不能同时出现在一个句子中。例如：①Although he is very old, he still works hard. ＝He is very old, but he still works hard. 他虽然年纪很大，但是他仍然努力工作。
②Because Kate got up very late, she missed the train. = Kate got up very late, so she missed the train. 因为Kate起床很玩，所以她没赶上火车。
我们可以把这种用法简记为：用because不用so，用but不用though；有了few或little，句中也不出现no。
(6)Walles was so convincing that hundreds of people believed the story. Walles（说的）很确信，因此有数百人都相信这个故事。
so＋形容词或副词＋that ...引导结果状语从句。意思是“如此……以致于……”。例如：When the football fans saw Beckham, they got so excited that they cried out. 当球迷们看到贝克汉姆的时候，他们如此激动以致于大喊大叫。
“so … that”结构可以用 “too…to”结构或者 “…enough to…”结构来替换，从而把一个复合句变成简单句。方法有：
①如果that从句是肯定的，一般用enough to 改写。如：
The ice here is so thick that we can skate on it.
→The ice here is thick enough to skate on.
②如果that从句是否定的，一般用too…to结构改写。如：
David was so careless that he didn’t find the mistakes in his test paper.
→David was too careless to find the mistakes in his test paper.
当主句和从句的主语不一致时，要在不定式前加上逻辑主语for sb.。例如：
The problem is so hard that I can’t work it out.→The problem is too hard for me to work out.

1.【原文】I love singers who write their own music.我喜欢自己写音乐的歌手。
【考例】--- Do you know the lady _____ is interviewing our headmaster? --- Yes, she is a journalist from CCTV.
A. which B. who C. whom D. whose

2.【原文】Few have stranger names than this band.几乎没有比这个乐队更奇怪的名字了。
【考例】A lot of girls have tried, but _____ have passed the exam.（2004乌鲁木齐）
A. a few B. few C. a little D. little
【解读】 a few, few修饰可数名词的复数；a little, little修饰不可数名词，根据句子意思排除C、D项。又因为有表示转折的连词but，说明上下句是转折关系，所以应用表示否定的few填空。答案为B。
3.【原文】I’m having a great time in Hong Kong, although I have to be honest and say that I prefer Shanghai.虽然我不得诚实地说我比较喜欢上海，但是我在香港玩得很高兴。

--- Exciting, _____ one piece of the music wasn’t played quite well.（2004安徽）
A. so B. though C. because D. and

A. to wash B. washed C. wash D. to be washed
【解读】不定式作定语时，一般放在被修饰词的后面。wash和被修饰词clothes存在逻辑上的动宾关系，但句子的主语和动词 wash又有逻辑上的主谓关系，所以不用不定式的被动。答案为A。
8.【原文】It is easiest to get around the city by subway.乘坐地铁观光这个城市最容易。
【考例】（动词形式填空）We are students. It is our duty _____(study) hard.（2004贵阳）

11.【原文】 No, we can’t put off making a plan.不行，我们不能推迟制定计划。

Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water into the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time. Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth don’t get much rain. But they still don’t become deserts.

八、阅读改写：在改写后的短文的空白处填入适当的词，使其完整。（10分）
Do you find yourself tired all the time although you get enough sleep? Then maybe this is for you. When you’re feeling weak and tired, the worst thing to do is to take a nap. It won’t restore your stamina(精力、耐力), on the contrary (相反), what happens then is that your body loses even more energy than it had before, making you even more lethargic(昏睡的).
You may also have these poor habits that worsen(使变得更坏) the problems. Do you stay in the same small area without getting up to more around? Does your job require that you sit down the whole day in front of a computer? Any or all of these reasons might be the cause of your energy level low.
What should you do, then, at those moments when you feel so tired even though you’ve got enough sleep? A cup of coffee won’t help much either, as it is easy to get addicted(使沉溺) to the caffeine. The best and most natural thing to do is to take a brisk walk. Doctors recommend(推荐) the activity because it will increase the heart rate. This increased heart rate will lead to several hours of alertness(活跃、机灵). Moreover, a regular exercise routine(常规、惯例) can make your fatigue problems disappear forever.
根据短文内容填词，一空一词。

Read. 这是个祈使句。意思为“如果你睡眠充足却仍感到疲惫，那就读一读这篇文章吧！”2. never. 根据原文第三句“当你感到虚弱疲劳时，小睡一会儿会再糟糕不过了。”即建议人们此时千万不要小睡，因此填never。3. weaker. 由原文最后一句可知，那样的话你会觉得更加虚弱。故用weak的比较级。4. staying. 原文第二段分析了导致精力下降的两个因素，其中之一是长时间呆在一个狭小的空间里，而不起来转悠转悠。这里要用动名词作主语，故填staying。5. before. 原文中的in front of= before。6. Drinking. 原文第三段说明喝咖啡也不能使你恢复精力。用动名词作主语。7. helpful. 根据原文A cup of coffee won’t help much either…喝咖啡也不能使你恢复精力。8. on. rely on“依赖”。9. beat. 原文第三段倒数第三句说散步能够增加心率。beat一词用来表示心脏的跳动。10. few. 心率增加能够带来几个小时的精神振作。several可用a few替换。
九、One possible version：
How to learn English well
It is more than three years since I began to study English. At first I found it quite difficult. I couldn’t pronounce well, spell the words correctly or remember the rules of grammar. With the help of my teachers and classmates. I have made much progress. Now I am getting on well with my English.
Three years’ study has taught me that one cannot learn English well without hard work. We must do m ore listening and speaking both in and out of class. And do more reading and writing as well. That is “Practice makes perfect”.
So, in my opinion, we should work hard at English. That’s the most important thing. And we should also practice using it as much as possible.
