专题一: Unit1-2
瞭望新高考
一、新考纲新变化
1 第一单元话题是朋友，在高考中此话题将以完型填空，阅读理解以及写作的形式出现。07年全国卷高考中书面表达正是此话题。
2 第二单元话题是“语言学习”。关注有关世界英语的文章，了解英国英语和美国英语的差异和语言的变化和发展。此话题常常以阅读理解和听力理解的形式出现。
二、新命题新思路
1 句型so/nor/neither +助动词+主语，是高考中的热点，在07年高考全国卷Ⅱ中又一次出现。
2 祈使句也是重点之一，注意的是出题方式的新颖性，此语法在05、06高考中反复考查。
第一部分 启迪篇
跟着高考走
1. 【对应课文】SB 1 P2 I don’t enjoy singing, nor do I like computers.
【对应考点】“neither\nor\so+助动词+主语”表示“某人或某事也是这样”的用法。
解读： 这种意义可用下表中的三个不同的句型来表达。
句 型 前面的句子 例 句
so+助动词+主语 应为肯定句 He went to the cinema, so did I
If he goes fishing, so will I
neither/nor+助动词+主语 应为否定句 You care little for money , neither does he
She has never been there ,(and) nor have you.
So it is/was with + ……或It is/was the same with +…… 有两个不同的谓语或两个不同主语的并列句。 My brother is a good student and often does good deeds. So it is my sister.
说明：要注意与相似句型“so + 主语+助词”的区别。该句型用来对前面某种说法的赞同或附和，常译成，“确实如此”。
【对应高考题1】（07全国II）If Joe’s wife won’t go to the party, ____.
A. he will either B. neither will he C. he neither will D. either he will
【解析】以so/nor/neither开头的倒装句，用于倒装表示“也不”
答案 B
【对应高考题2】（07江苏） –My room gets very cold at night.
--__________.
A. So is mine. B. So mine is C. So does mine D. So mine does
【解析】表示肯定的“也”的时候，用So + be/have/情态动词/助动词 + 主语
答案 C
2. 【对应课文】SB 1 P2 I don’t enjoy reading too much.
【对应考点】too much与 much too的用法和区别。
解读：“much too+形容词或副词”表示“实在太…；非常…”。而“too much”意为“太多”，可以修饰动词或不可数名词，也可以单独作表语。如：The work is too much for me这工作我干不了。
【对应高考题】Allen had to call a taxi because the box was ____ to carry all the way home.
A. much too heavy B. too much heavy
C. heavy too much D. too heavy much
解析：much too+形容词或副词
答案 A
3. 【对应课文】SB 1 P2 I think that rock music is too loud,and I think that football is boring.
【对应考点】bore\interest\please\satisfy\disappoint\excite\frighten\move\tire等，这些“情感动词”的现在分词与过去分词的用法区别。
一般说来，这些动词的现在分词表示“令人感到…”，其主语常为物,这些动词的过去分词则意为“某人感到…”其主语常为人。注意;pleasing相当于 pleasant； satisfying相当于 satisfactory。另外，能反应某人的感情的名词如：voice, cry, scream, looks, steps, smile, face等常用过去分词修饰。如：Getting such a good job, he gave me a satisfied smile.
【对应高考题】（07江苏）He is very popular among his students as he always tries to make them ______ in his lectures.
A. interested B. interesting C. interest D. to interest
解析：此题考查make后加形容词形式，根据空格前的them可判断和interested形成逻辑关系。
答案 A
4. 【对应课文】SB 1 P3 One day Chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean when suddenly his plane crashes.
【对应考点】; when 做等立连词的用法。
解读: when 做等立连词，意为“就在此时”，相当于at that time,suddenly。常用的句式有:be doing…when…(正在做...突然); be about to do …when…\ be on the point of doing…when…(正要做...突然), as\while没有此用法。
【对应高考题1】(05北京春)
We were swimming in the lake ___suddenly the storm started.
A. when B. while C. until D. before
解析：be doing…when…(正在做...突然)
答案 A
【对应高考题2】It is almost five years _____we saw each other last time.
A before B since C after D when
解析 ：It is+一段时间+since-clause
答案 ：A
5【对应课文】SB 1 P4 He also learns that he should have cared more about his friends.
【对应考点】should\ought to have done 的用法。
解读：该结构意为“某人过去本应该干某事却没有干”，表示说话人的责备或遗憾之情。”而“should\ought to + do”则表示将来要发生的动作。
【对应高考题1】（07江西）.-Where is my dictionary? I remember I put it here yesterday.
-You it in the wrong place.
A.must put B.should have put C.might put D.might have put
【解析】.might have done表示对过去的猜测，表示“可能做过某事”，此题不能选should have put
答案 D
【对应高考题2】（05山东）He paid for the seat, When he _______ have entered free.
A. could B. would C. must D. need (下划线者为正确大难答案，下同)
【解析】解答本题的关键是when(尽管，虽然)一词，尽管他能免费进入，但他还是买了票。这儿could have entered free表示本来能免费进入的，表示批评、责备之意。
答案 A
【对应高考题3】--- Guess what! I have got A for my term paper.
--- Great! You ______ read widely and put a lot of work into it.
A. must B. should C. must have D. should have
【点拨】must have done 表示对过去发生的事情很有把握的猜测，表示“某人一定做过某”
答案 C
6【对应课文】SB 1 P10 English is a language spoken all over the world.
【对应考点】：过去分词与现在分词作后置定语的用法与区别。
【对应高考题1】（07全国卷Ⅱ）At the beginning of class, the noise of desks ____ could be heard outside the classroom.
A. opened and closed B. to be opened and closed
C. being opened and closed D. to open and close
答案 C
【解析】：现在分词作定语，表示主动或正在进行的动作。过去分词作定语表示被动或完成了的动作。而用being done则表示正在做的被动动作。有时，分词作后置定语插在句中，前后用逗号隔开，可以把分词短语改成非限制性定语从句。如：The Olympic Games, (which was)opened in 776B.C,didn’t include women players until 1912.
7 【对应课文】 SB 1 P11 With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.
【对应考点】with的复合结构。
【对应高考题】：(07福建).-Come on, please give me some ideas about the project.
-Sorry. With so much work my mind, I almost break down.
A.filled B.filling C.to fill D.being filled
【解析】with后面跟复合结构，其结构如下：1) with+名词/代词+现在分词。其中现在分词表主动或正在进行的动作。如：He fell asleep with his radio still working. 2).with+名词/代词+过去分词。其中过去分词表被动或完成了的动作。如：Tom stood for a moment with his hand still raised.3). with+名词/代词+不定式。其中不定式表示将要发生的动作。如：with so much work to do, we can’t kill any time by playing cards.4). with+名词/代词+形容词。如：The girl entered the room with her eyes full of tears.5). with+名词/代词+介词短语或副词。如：The emperor walked in the street with nothing on.
根据题目中work 和fill 的关系，是表示主动，因此其后要用doing结构。
答案 B
【对应高考题】：(07安徽) John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work ________, he gladly accepted it.
A. finished B. finishing C. having finished D. was finished
【解析】根据work和finish 是被动的关系，可以判断出来。
答案 A
8 【对应课文】SB 1 P13 For example , the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish.
【对应考点】：while的特殊含义。
【对应高考题1】 (07山东) I really don’t like art, I find his work impressive.
A．As B．Since C．If D．While
【对应考例2】（07四川）I'd like to study law at university ________ my cousin prefers geography.
A. though B. as C. while D. for
【点拨】while一般作连词，引导时间状语从句，意为“当...时候”。而它的特殊含义有：1）作并列连词，引导两分句，表示前后对照，意为“而”。 2)引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”或“尽管”，相当于though\although.如：While I admit his good points, I can see his shortcomings. 3)引导条件状语从句，意为“只要”，相当于so\as long as.如：You will succeed while you double your efforts.
答案 1 D 2 C
超前押题训练
押题一 从should的用法来命题
命题意图：情态动词是历界高考重点，往往成为高考设置陷阱题时的锁定目标。不少学生一般只知道should表示“应该”的含义，而忽视了其含义或者其他含义的具体运用。
1-I’ll tell Mary about her new job tomorrow.
-You ______ her last week.
A. ought to tell B. would have told C. must tell D. should have told
解析： D should + have done表示批评责备，过去本应该做而实际上未做。
押题二 从so/nor/neither开头的倒装句来命题
1-I would never ever come to this restaurant again. The food is terrible!
-_____.
A. Nor am I B. Neither would I C. Same with me D. So do I
解析：B 以so/nor/neither开头的倒装句，在时态、语态、主动词、情态动词等谓语形式上要与上文一致，故可排除A,D,选B,也可说It’s the same with me，但不能省略the。
解题技巧梳理
解so/nor/neither倒装试题时候，首先要搞清楚so/nor/neither所用的场合，再分清所引导的句子何时倒装，何时不倒装，最后要特别注意前后时态的一致性和特殊性。例如：If you go to the cinema tonight,so shall I .注意本句时态的运用。由于if引导的条件状语从句要用一般现在时态代替将来时，所以该从句用go，而不用will go ,但主句却要用一般将来时，不能用一般现在时，因此后面的so引导的从句要用助动词shall或will来满足时态呼应的需要。
知识积累
1 such…that/so…that
such+a(n)+adj+单数名词+that-clause
such+adj+复数名词+that-clause
such+adj+不可数名词+that-clause
so+adj(adv)+that-clause
so+adj+a(n)+名词+that-clause
so many(few)+可数名词复数+that-clause
so much(little )+不可数名词+that-clause
2 与come有关的短语：
come along=come on 过来 come after 跟在后面
come at 袭击 come down 下来，败落
come up to 达到 come to a word 碰到一个词
come into effect 生效 come across sb 偶然碰到
易混易错研讨
1.【误】These flowers are specially beautiful when they are in full bloom.
【正】These flowers are especially beautiful when they are in full bloom.
【析】specially和especially都表示"专门"、"特别"，修饰动词或介词短语时，两者可以通用，但修饰形容词或副词时，要用especially，强调程度。
2. 【误】We have never seen as beautiful picture as that.
【正】We have never seen as beautiful a picture as that.
【析】as ... as中间的形容词如果修饰名词，要将名词放在不定冠词之后，一般不可数名词和复数名词不用此结构。
3. 【误】He had such many falls that he was black and blue all over.
【正】He had so many falls that he was black and blue all over.
【析】在含有结果状语从句的复合句中，
如果主句中名词前有many, much, little (少), few作定语时，要用副词so修饰这些形容词，不可以用such。
4. 【误】They are so little children that they can not understand what you say sometimes.
【正】They are such little children that they can not understand what you say sometimes.
【析】little在名词前作定语表示"小"时，用"such little+名词";若little在名词前作定语表示"少"时，用"so little+名词"。
5. 【误】He said that he had joined the Party in 1995.
【正】He said that he joined the Party in 1995.
【析】在间接引语中有表示过去时间的状语时，即使主句为一般过去时，从句谓语动词也用一般过去时，而不用过去完成时。
6. 【误】I met Mr. Wang in the bus on one day.
【正】I met Mr. Wang in the bus one day.
【析】在表示时间的名词前有one, some, the other, every, this, that, these或those时，其前不再用任何介词。
7. 【误】It is the first time we will visit the Summer Palace.
【正】It is the first time we have visited the Summer Palace.
【析】the first time引导表语从句时，若在is或will be之后作表语，从句用现在完成时；若在was之后作表语，从句谓语用过去完成时。
8. 【误】If I fail, I'll try the second time.
【正】If I fail, I'll try a second time.
【析】在序数词前加the时，表示顺序，意为"第……"；在序数词前加a时，表示"又一"、"再一"。
第二部分 研讨篇
l 疑难点研讨
Chuck learns that we need friends to share happiness and sorrow, and that it is important to have someone to care about.
此句中有两个that 引导的宾语从句和三个不定式，其中第二个引导词that 不能省去，第一个不定式表示目的，第二个不定式to have someone to care about 是形式主语it的真正主语；to care about 与前面的someone是动宾关系，但仍用主动形态，其相当于it is important for us to have someone to care about.
第三部分 向导篇
本月原创题解读
I’d just locked the door ____I realized I had left my key on the kitchen table.
A as B while C when D after
答案 C as 通常表示两个动作的同时发生，译为“一边…一边…”;while 后面的句子要用延续性动词；用after 前后语境不符；when 在此相当于just at that time,可译为“就在这时”。
专家答疑
山东李永问：
“ I don’t enjoy singing, nor do I like computers.”此句中nor是怎样的用法？
专家答疑：在表示前面提到的情况适用于另外一个人和事物时，用so+do+主语，副词so表示“同样，也那样”，例如：
She is clever, and so is George.
如果表示否定含义，则用neither/nor+do+主语
如：-----I don’t think he’s clever.
-----Neither/Nor do I .
提分训练
1 ---I would never come to this restaurant again. The food is terrible.
---________.
A Nor am I.
B Neither would I.
C Same with me.
D So do I .
2 ---You forgot your purse when you went out.
----Good heavens,________.
A so do I B so I did C I did so D I so did
3 ---- David has made great progress recently.
-----_______,and _______.
A So he has; so you have B So he has; so have you
C So has he; so have you. D So has he ; so you have.
解析：1 B 本题考查倒装。以so/nor/neither 开头的倒装句子，在时态、语态、助动词等方面要尽量可能与上文一致。
2 B “so+正装句”的意思是“是的”，表示同意别人说的话。所提供的情境Good heaven说明自己确定在出门时忘记了带钱包，所以，回答说：“so I did”. so I did
的意思是“我确实忘记了带钱包”
3 B So he has 表示同意对方的意见，so have you意为“你也是。”

III. 阅读理解：
阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
To learn English well you must learn about yourself. You must discover what your own special needs are in English. You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate on(集中精力) those parts. And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them.
It will be best if, in your preparation, you can practise doing all sorts of work that you will be asked to do in examination. You should then make a careful note of any mistakes that you make more than once. Count up how many times you make for each mistake, and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list, the next most common in the second place, and so on.
For example, if your native language is Japanese, you may find the problem of articles comes at the top of your list. If you speak German, you may find using some of the conjunctions is your biggest problem. If your mother tongue is French, you find you are always having trouble with some of prepositions. And if Italian is your language, you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should.
But these are only examples of mistakes typical of certain languages. They may or may not be your particular personal mistakes. As I say, these personal ones are the most important of all to discover.
36. The most important thing to learn English well is to______.
A.find out the difference between your own language and English
B.discover your own special needs in the language
C.learn about yourself as much as possible
D.pick out your own personal weaknesses in English
37. The writer’s advice to the readers is to______.
A.spend as much time on English as possible B.take examinations of various sorts
C.keep a notebook with the important languages points in it
D.find out their own problems in doing selected exercises
38. The first item on the list should be the mistake you make_______.
A.most often B.many times C.more than more D.very often
39. To make a list of personal mistakes______.
A.is a must for any English learner B.is a time-consuming job
C.needs careful work D.can help your study of prepositions
[答案与简析]
36.D 考查细节理解。从第一段中的And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them.可知。

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places;
1. Chinese character are written in the complex(复杂的)form.Although simplified(简单的) Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.
2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.
3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. “Ba”(霸), which means bully(巨大的)in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with “Ba” in their names.
4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures(结构). “Ai ni mei shang liang”, which means “I love you without consulting”, is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with,which is an idea shared by many others and myself.

American and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping(不知不觉的)into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day,” or “Have a good trip,” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day. ”
The British usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.
Am.E: Do you have a car, room,etc.?Yes, I do.
Br.E: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.
Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words. e.g.check(US)/cheque(UK); center(US)/centre(UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “Our,” e.g. honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize”or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in Br.E “ise”or “ising”,e.g.organise,realising.In American English, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.In Br.E, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” In the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while British English does not.In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler,” while in British English, one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”.
It was once predicted that British and American English would became separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever.
47.The Americans hardly say______.
A.Good-bye.Have a good day! B.Glad to know you! C.Hi! D.Have you got a car?
48. A British writes______.
A.cheque;center B.honor;organise C.traveled;practice D.labour;traveller
49. What does the fifth paragraph talk about?
A. There are lots of differences in spelling between Am.E.nad Br.E.
B.Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?
C.There are few differences in spelling between AmE.and Br.E.
D. The different usages of words in Am.E and Br.E
50. Which of the following is true?
A.The two languages will become separate languages.
B.American English will be used more and more.
C. The two languages will be closer and closer.
D.British English will be used more and more.

August 20th Wednesday Sunny
In the summer vacation, my parents and I paid a visit to Beijing-the heart of our country and the great capital of our motherland. We arrived there by air on July 6th.As soon as we got out of the airport, we were struck by the beauty of the city. It was really a wonderful place.
During our stay there, we went to visit a lot of places of interests , such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tian’anmen Square, the Palace Museum, the Jingshan Park and so on. I as well as my parents took lots of pictures in order to keep the beautiful impression upon our minds. But I couldn’t spend any time going boating and swimming in the Summer Palace because of the lack of the time.
Two weeks passed before we found ourselves on the way home. Beijing, I love you! I’ll study harder and try my best to gain the chance to go to one of the universities in Beijing in 2008 When the 29th Olympic Games will take place.
专题二ＵＮＩＴ３－４
瞭望新高考
一、新考纲新变化
1 旅行及地震、海啸等灾难经历是高考中的热门话题，容易在阅读理解中出现。
2 so that 引导目的状语从句和不定式表目的的用法以及与它相关的so…that/in order to/so as to/to do之间的转换和用法是这几年高考的趋势
二、新命题新思路
1 考查means 表示“方法，方式，手段”的用法。因为它的名词单复数同形的特点而成为了命题者的锁定对象。其命题角度往往考查其做主语时谓语动词单复数的选用，也就是主谓一致问题。
2 so that引导目的状语从句和不定式表目的的用法。而高考的热点经常是so that/so…that/in order to /so as to /to do之间的转换和用法
3 before做连词后接从句的用法。Before/after/when/until/unless/since等连词引导的状语从句历来是高考的热点。

解题技巧梳理
阅读理解中猜词义的方法与技巧 （一）
词汇（Vocabulary）是阅读理解测试中非常重要的一项。词汇题往往要求对文章中的某个单词、短语甚至句子等找出近义词或最合适的解释。一般来说，在文章的阅读中解决释义的最好办法是猜测词义。猜测词义也需要一定的技巧，事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落有着互相制约的关系。我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。
1．定义法（Definition）：利用文章中对词的定义猜测词义。 由于作者知道某个词读者可能不认识，便在句中给该词下个定义以帮助读者理解。下定义是最容易辨认的一种语境线索。定义句的谓语动词多为：be，mean，deal with，be considered，to be，refer to，be called，be known as，define， represent，signify，constitute等。例如： 1．Anthropology is the scientific study of man．（由定义可知，anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。） 2．Such experiences are not unusual for the amateur conchologists，people who collect shells．（conchologists的意思可以根据该词后面的同位解释“people who collect shells理解为收集贝壳的人或贝壳收藏家。）
知识积累
1 instead of 的相关短语
表示“代替、取代”的词组有：
instead of /instead/in one’s stead /in place of
1) instead除作“代替 ”解之外，还意为“然而”
2）instead of 除作“代替”解之外，还意为“而不，而没有”。这时，不能与in place of 替换，但可以与rather than 替换。
They went there by bus instead of (rather than)on foot.
注意：instead of+doing/pron/prep.phrase/n
3）注意和instead 单独使用用法上的不同，instead 为副词，一般放在句末，否定上文提到的事物，而instead of则为介词短语，一般放在句首或句中，否定of后面的宾语。
2 way 的相关短语：
on one’s way to +n 在。。。的路上
on the way+adv 在去。。。的途中
in a way 在某种程度上，有点
in no way 决不
by the way 顺便问一下
make one’s way 前进
make way 让路，开路
lead the way 带路，领路
feel one’s way 用手摸索着前进
第二部分 研讨篇
疑难点研讨
The garden that was once so beautiful was completely destroyed ,swept away by the wild water.
that was once so beautiful was completely destroyed是一定语从句，修饰the garden.that 做主语。swept away by the wild water是过去分词短语做定语，相当于which was swept away by the wild water.
易混易错研讨
1. 【误】The boy had many difficulty in working out the maths problem.
【正】The boy had much difficulty in working out the maths problem.
【析】difficulty意为"困难"时，相当于trouble，是不可数名词，其前可以用some, much, little, no, any等修饰，但不可以用many修饰。
2. 【误】Can you explain me the meaning of the word?
【正】Can you explain to me the meaning of the word?
【析】表示"向某人解释某事"时，应用explain to sb. sth.或explain sth. to sb.，这一用法与teach, tell, give等动词之后接双宾语不同。
3. 【误】The reason why he was absent was because he was ill.
【正】The reason why he was absent was that he was ill.
【析】表示"……的原因是……"时，应用"The reason...is / was that+主语+谓语+..."这一结构, 不可以把that换成because。
4. 【误】We saw off her for Shanghai yesterday.
【正】We saw her off for Shanghai yesterday.
【析】see off表示"送行"时，若用名词作宾语，放在off之后或see与off之间；若用代词作宾语，必须放在see与off之间。
5. 【误】Do you think who will win the game?
【正】Who do you think will win the game?
【析】Do you think (believe, suppose) 等后面接疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句时，应把疑问代词或疑问副词移至do前。
6. 【误】The TV play is very popular in young people.
【正】The TV play is very popular with young people.
【析】be very popular表示"很受欢迎"时，与in连用，其后接指地点的名词；也可以与with连用，其后接指人的名词。
7. 【误】The Browns are on their holiday.
【正】The Browns are on holiday.
【析】on holiday意为"在度假"，其中holiday前不能加物主代词或冠词。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
( A )
One of the mast famous travelers in history was Marco Polo. At the age of 17, he left Italy with his father and uncle. It took them more than three years to cross the mountains of Asia. In the year 1275, they reached China. They stayed in China for almost 20 years and went to many places. They were very surprised at what they saw. China was a country far more advanced than Italy or any other countries in Europe.
After he returned to Italy, Marco Polo told many of his stories to a friend. His book, Description of the World, became the most popular book in Europe. People found it difficult to believe his stories of people, animals, places and things. They were so different from Europe at that time. These are a few of Marco ‘s descriptions.
In one area of China, there were black stones. People dug them out of the mountains. They burned very slowly. People used them to cook and keep their homes warm.
The Chinese people were also very clean. In every town, there were many public baths. Everyone bathed at least three times a week. Rich families built baths in their homes and bathed every day.
China was one of the first countries to use paper money.
On one of his trips in the south of China, Marco Polo saw a strange animal which lived along the rivers. It looked like a large piece of wood and was more than ten feet long. In the front, it had two small legs. Its eyes were very large. Its mouth was big enough to eat a man and its teeth were long.
Most people believed Marco Polo’s stories. But others told him that they did not believe his descriptions. He answered that he did not tell half of what he saw in his book.

Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the country's worst problems--crime (犯罪).
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯) are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.
There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn't change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started "Vision Quest. "He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people in Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they love their horse. That love can help them to live a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, "Go west, young men."
40. In the last paragraph "leave crime behind them" means _________.
A. no longer do a crime
B. leave people who do a crime
C. don't do all the crimes
D. leave criminals behind
41. Why is Bob Burton RIGHT?
A. Because he can help to solve crime.
B. Because three or four is better than six or seven.
C. Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.
D. Because he can stop crime in the country.
42. From the passage we may infer that __________.
A. getting up before the sun rises can help out of crime
B. we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anything
C. travelling can help all criminals out of prison
D. being brave and strong can do with crime
43. "Vision Quest" ____________.
A. young people have b
