【思路开拓】
实战类例
1．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 broken
解析：本题考查的是虚拟语气。as if可以引导真实条件句和非真实条件句。前者用陈述语气；后者用虚拟语气，表示与所给事实相反，谓语动词要用过去时态，be动词用were。由题意“当把一支铅笔部分放入一杯水中时，它看起来就像断了似的。”是一种假设，表示与现在事实相反，要用过去时。故答案为C。
又如：
①The woman takes good care of me as if I __________ her own daughter.
A．am
B．had been
C．have been
D．were(答案：D)
②It seems as if he __________ in a dream.
A．is
B．has been
C．were
D．had been(答案：C)
答案：C
2．I was just about to go to sleep __________ there was a loud knock on the door.
A．while
B．when
C．as
D．since
解析：本题考查并列连词when的意义。when作连词时，意为①“当……时候”，如：
When water becomes solid, we call it ice.②“一……就”,如：We will stand up when the teacher comes in.③“如果”，如：Call me at once when anything goes wrong with the machine.④“虽然；却”，如：He walks when he might ride.⑤“既然”，如：Why did you write in pencil when you know you should write in ink?⑥“在那时；正……，突然……”，如：I was doing my homework when the light went out.而while, as和since没有此意。本题题意是“我正要去睡觉，这时突然有人大声地敲门”。
答案：B
3．They __________the train until it disappeared in the distance.
A．saw
B．watched
C．noticed
D．observed
解析：本题考查动词同义词的辨析。因与until“直到”引导的时间状语从句连用，谓语动词必须为可延续性动词，故排除saw“看见”和notice“注意到”。此句表示“注视着”“凝视着”，用watched(kept one’s eyes fixed on)较好，而不用observed(watched carefully)“观察”。又如：《朗文当代英汉双解词典》中的例句：She watched the train till it disappeared from sight.“她凝视着火车，直至火车消失在视线外为止。”There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firefighters could not get close to the building.
答案：B
4．These oranges taste __________.
A．good
B．well
C．to be good
D．to be well
解析：本题考查taste作连系动词的用法。动词taste, smell, look, sound和feel可用作连系动词，后面只能接形容词作表语，表示主语所具有的特征。这时它们都相当于不及物动词，因此不可用被动语态；也不可用在进行时态中。故答案为A。
又如：
-Do you like the music?
-Yes, it __________ beautiful.
A．is sounding
B．sounded
C．sounds
D．is sounded(答案：C)
答案：A
5．__________Jane and Robert had enough sense of humour!
A．What
B．What if
C．Even though
D．If only
解析：本题考查句式结构。由句子的结构可知这不是感叹句，因而不能用what，因为What引出的感叹句中，需要在what后加名词，如：What sense of humour Jane and Robert had!此题亦不可用What if,因为句末标点符号不是问号。用Even though也不正确，因为Even though引导从句，那么该句就缺少主句了。If only后跟句子是一种特殊的结构，用来表示某人对某事的一种愿望，意为“要是……多好啊！”“但愿……”，通常句子中用过去时态表示虚拟语气。此题意为“要是Jane和Robert能多点幽默感该多好啊！”。又如：If only they could find a way to get to the room,or whatever it was,behind the wall.
答案：D
【能力提升】
§6．1 单项填空
1．I can’t possibly do it all by myself.If only my parents__________away on holiday!
A．were
B．are
C．have been
D．had been
解析：If only后接句子，是固定句型，意为“要是……就好了”，句子的谓语动词用虚拟语气。
答案：A
2．__________to visit our school again next year.
A．You are welcomed
B．Welcome you
C．You are welcome
D．You are welcoming
解析：“欢迎某人做某事”要用“sb．is welcome to do sth.”，而不能用welcome sb.to do sth.此是汉语式英语。
答案：C
3．Stop__________in the corner;say whatever it is out loud.
A．talking
B．whispering
C．quarrelling
D．shouting
解析：由后句可知，前句是想说“不要在角落里滴滴咕咕”。
答案：B
4．Just believe__________.You can pass the test;you have been practising so hard.
A．in yourself
B．yourself
C．in you
D．you
解析：believe in oneself “相信自己”。
答案：A
5．-What is happening over there?
-Several people seem__________.
A．to fight
B．fighting
C．to be fighting
D．to have fought
解析：由前句可知，事情正在发生，故seem后的不定式用进行式。
答案：C
6．At the street corner,anyone who was seen carrying a bag,a box,or__________,was stopped by the police.
A．what it is
B．whatever it is
C．what there is
D．whatever there is
解析：whatever常放于or之后，意为“或是任何其他东西”。
答案：B
7．-I think it’s going to be a big problem.
-Yes,it could be.
-I wonder__________we can do about it.
A．if
B．how
C．what
D．that
解析：do about“处理，对付”，常与what连用，不可与how连用。
答案：C
8．I am surprised that you should have been fooled by such a simple__________.
A．trick
B．deal
C．test
D．role
解析：“你怎么竟被这么简单的诡计愚弄了呢。”
答案：A
9．If you go shopping along with me,I’ll treat you__________an ice-cream.
A．as
B．for
C．with
D．to
解析：treat sb.to sth.“请某人吃……”；treat作动词，可作“请客”解。
答案：D

§6．3 阅读理解

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre（罗浮宫）in Paris,France.The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.It is the biggest art museum in the world.

Over the years,the number of buildings around the castle grew.By 1350,the castle no longer needed a fort.The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.
During time of peace,new treasures were brought in.During the days of war,many treasures were stolen,and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became king of France in 1515,he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Lenardo Da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” is the best known painting in the museum today.

Bringing Art into Hospitals
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better.
As part of nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places,some of the country’s best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings.Of the 2 500 national health service hospitals in Britain,almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages,waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent movements first started by one artist,Peter Senior,who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s.He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society,and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience(观众).
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week.What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art!Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patient’s waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975.Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist.Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is stricking.Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours,playful images（形象）and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness.A study has shown that patients who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

C．bring art into hospitals
D．help patients recover from serious illnesses

【资料选摘】
Time talks. It speaks more plainly(明白地) than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.
In the United States, it is not customary(习惯的) to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving(刮脸) or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent(紧急的) and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the all communicates its importance.
The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises(出现) between people from cultures(文化) that treat time differently.
In the United States, people tend(趋向于) to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one can not escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections(段), which are to be kept separate…“one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment(约会) with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.
Americans look ahead and are concerned(与……有关系) almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving(牵连) many centuries.
Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.
