1. Are you coming with us?你要和我们一起去吗?

这是一个用现在进行时表示将来的句子。英语中,部分表示位置移动的动词,如go, come, arrive, leave, fly等,可用现在进行时表示按计划或安排将要发生的动作。

链接中考:______ the girl is only nine, she takes care of her brothers and cooks meals every day.

A. If

B. Because

C. Although

D. As

解析:if“如果”;because “因为”;although“尽管,虽然”;as“当……时”。由句意“尽管那个女孩只有9岁,但是她每天照顾她弟弟并且还做饭”可知,此处选用表示“尽管”的although。答案:C

5. …and I like snow as well. ……我也喜欢雪。

As well作状语,作“又,也”解,相当于too或also,常位于句末,无须用逗号与句子分开。如:I am going to London and my sister is going as well (=going, too).我要到伦敦去,我妹妹也要去。

如:If I were you, I would try my best to grasp the chance.我要是你的话,我会尽力抓住这次机会。

(2)wish在此处用作动词,意为“但愿,希望”,与hope同义。

如:What’s the weather like today?=How is the weather today?今天的天气怎么样?

【拓展】(1)What’s the weather like + in+地方?或How’s the weather + in +地方?表示“某地的天气怎么样?”。如:What’s the weather like in Beijing?=How is the weather in Beijing?

北京的天气怎么样?

(2)What’s the weather like?与How is the weather?问句的常用答语:

It’s sunny/cloudy/windy/rainy/snowy.天气晴朗/多云/有风/有雨/有雪。

如:—What’s the weather like in Toronto today?今天多伦多的天气怎么样?

—It’s sunny.天气晴朗。

链接中考:—______ —It’s sunny today.

A. How was the weather yesterday?

B. How are you doing?

C. What fine weather!

D. What’s the weather like today?

解析:本题考查询问天气的日常用语。由答语“今天天气晴朗”可知上句询问的是今天的天气情况,排除B、C两项;A项时态语答语不一致,故应排除。答案:D

Unit 2 The weather is fine all year round.天气常年很好

要点全解:

1. The weather gets cooler, and the green leaves start to turn gold, then brown.天气变得比较凉爽,绿色的树叶开始变成金黄色,然后成棕色。

4. In Seattle, in the northwest, it is not very cold but it rains a lot, so bring an umbrella.在西雅图西北部,天气不是很冷,但经常下雨,所以要带上一把雨伞。

a lot是口语中的一个常用词组,多用于肯定句中,有时也用于疑问句中。其主要用法有如下几点:

(1)作副词短语,在句中作程度状语,表示“很,非常”,修饰动词、感叹词、介词短语、形容词或副词的比较级等。

如:It often rains a lot at this time of year.每年这个时候都经常下雨。(修饰动词rain)。

5. In Texas and the southeast, it is usually very hot and sunny compared to other places.与其他地方相比,德克萨斯和东南部地区天气通常非常炎热,阳光灿烂。

compared to意为“和……相比较”,在句中作状语时,也可用compared with。

如:The prices are low compared to those in other shops.与其他商店相比,(他们的)价格算是低的。

【拓展】表示“与……相比较”时,既可以用compared with,也可以用compared to,但表示“把……比作”时,只能用compared to。

如:He compared his camera with/to mine.他拿自己的相机与我的相比较。

Books can be compared to friends.书本好比朋友。

Did you see him later?你后来见过他吗?

The weather will get warmer later.晚些时候天气将会变得暖和些。

I will join you later.我随后就加入你们。

Two days later, he came back.两天后,他回来了。

辨析:later, after与later on

later与after都有“以后”的意思,用来表示时间。与具体的时间名词连用时,两者可以互换,但需要注意两者的位置,互换的方法如下:时间段+later=after+时间段

如:Two years later he left our school.=He left our school after two years.

两年后他离开了我们的学校。

Three days later he got to Beijing.=After three days he got to Beijing.

三天以后他到达了北京。

You should take a notebook with you.你应当随身带上一个笔记本。

2. It has more than 200 cm of rain every year.那里每年将雨量超过200厘米。

More than意为“超过,多于”,相当于over,其反义词组为less than,意为“不如,少于”。如:There are more than 20 cars in the street.街道上由20多辆小汽车。

He has more than 300 inventions.他有300多项发明。

3. The Amazon Rainforest has more different animals and plants than any other place in the world.亚马孙雨林的动植物种类比世界上其他任何地方都多。

any other意为“其他任何一个”,指在同意范围内除了某人或某物以外的其他人或事物,any other后跟单数名词,这时也可以说成“any of the other +”复数名词。

如:Tom runs faster than any other student in his class.=Tom runs faster than any of the other students in his class.汤姆比他班上的其他任何人跑得都快。

Shanghai is larger than any other city in China. 上海比中国的其他任何一个城市都大。

He is taller than any other boy in his class.他比他班级里其他任何一个男孩的个子都高。

4. Many rivers join the Amazon River as it flows over 6,500 km from the Andes in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east.许多河流在亚马孙河交汇,它经由西面的安第斯山脉蜿蜒6 500多公里流入东面的大西洋。

join动词,此处意为“交汇,汇合,连接”。

如:The brook joins the river here.小溪在这里同河流汇合。

How are the two halves of the machine joined together?这台机器的两部分是如何连接起来的?

【拓展】join作动词的其他用法:

链接中考:

He ______ an English club last year and has improved his English a lot.

A. protected

B. produced

C. joined

D. received

解析:protect“保护”;produce“生产”;join“加入”;receive“收到”。句意:去年他加入了一个英语俱乐部并且他的英语提高了很多。故选C。答案:C

5. You will not have to pay much for it.你不必为此花很多钱。

have to意为“不得不,必须”;not have to=needn’t,意为“不必”。

如:I have to stay at home to look after my younger sister.我不得不呆在家里照看我妹妹。

语法专项:

情态动词may与might的用法

情态动词本身有一定的词义,为谓语动词增添情态色彩,表示说话人对有关行为或事物的态度和看法,认为有可能、应该活有必要等。情态动词无人称和数的变化,其后接的动词需用原形,否定式是在情态动词后加上not。当我们想表达可能发生某事以及某人可能做某事时,可以用may/might表示。如:You may/might be right.你可能是对的。

He may/might tell his wife.他也许会告诉他妻子。

may与might没有太大的区别,形式上might是may的过去式,但表示将来的可能情况时,might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性还要小。

如:They may come tomorrow.他们明天可能来。

There might be some rain tomorrow morning.明天上午可能会有雨。

【拓展】(1)possible形容词,表示可能性。常用句型有:It is possible to do sth.,It is possible that…如:Is it possible to finish the work today?今天完成这项工作有可能吗?

It is possible that it’ll be snowy tomorrow.明天有可能会下雪。

(2)probably和possible都表示可能性。Probably表示“很可能”,它所表示的可能性比possible 大。常用句型有:主语+will+ probably/possibly +v-ing…

如:It’ll probably be sunny and hot.天气很可能会晴朗而炎热。

Mr Wang will possibly agree.或许王先生会同意。

阅读技巧:

“关键词法”解完形填空题

“关键词法”时我们在解答完形填空题时常用的方法之一。随着中考越来越注重对文章整体把握和理解的考查,这一方法的使用也在发生着变化。这一方法多用于对语法知识的综合运用进行考查的题目中,如:名词的单复数,动词的时态,动词的形式,形容词、副词的比较级等。而做好此类题目的关键就是找准该答题空前后的关键词。所以,只要我们注意寻找这些关键词,做起题来就会相对容易。

例如:

…A train stopped at a small station. A passenger looked out of the window and saw a woman ___1___ cakes. The man wanted to buy a cake, but the woman was standing quite far away…

1. A. selling B. to sell C. sell D. sold

答案:A

解析:

本文描述了火车在一个小车站,一位乘客从车厢窗向外看,看到了一位妇女在买蛋糕,并且引起了他想买蛋糕的欲望的场景。本文中第1小题就可以用“关键词法”解答。“…and saw a woman ___1___ cakes.”中saw为动词see的过去式。See sb. doing sth.表示“看到某人正在做某事”,强调某是正在发生;而see sb. do sth.则表示看到的是一个完整的过程或经常性的动作。由题意知,当乘客向火车窗外看时,看到的是一位妇女正在卖蛋糕。强调“卖”这一

动作正在进行,故选A。

话题写作:

你(Li Hua)的美国朋友Kathy打算来你市旅游。他想了解一下你市东方海滩的情况,请你根据以下信息,给她写一封信加以介绍。

参考词汇:the East Beach东方海滩;fine(沙)细的;be suitable for适合……;dressing

【思路点拨】

【经典范文】

Dear Kathy,

I’m glad that you’ll travel to my city. Now let me tell you something about the East Beach. The East Beach is in the east of my city 10 kilometers away. It’s one of the best beaches in the world. The sand there is fine, soft and clean. The best time to come here is in autumn. Because it’s neither too hot nor too cold. The water is clean, with small waves. It’s suitable for swimming and playing volleyball.

You can get to the beach easily. Many buses can take you there. You can take a taxi, too. There are toilets, dressing rooms and shops. I think you will have a wonderful time there. Welcome to the East Beach!

Yours,

Li Hua

四、模块任务:Giving advice to foreign guests who are visiting a Chinese family

Unit 1 In China, we open a gift later.在中国,我们晚些时候打开礼物

要点全解

1. Happy birthday, Lingling.玲玲,生日快乐。

Happy birthday!是一个祝贺生日的常用语,意为“生日快乐!”如果有人祝你生日快乐,答语要用Thank you.或Thanks.;当你与祝贺你的人是同一天生日时,答语则用The same to you.意为“也同样祝你身日快乐!”

如:—Happy birthday!生日快乐!—Thank you.谢谢你。

2. But back in the US, we open a gift immediately,可是回到美国,我们立刻打开一件礼物。immediately副词,意为“立刻,马上”,通常放在句末或句首作状语,有时也可以放在句中实义动词之前。

如:He began to look for another book immediately.他马上开始寻找另一本书。

The man smiled and immediately went out.那个人微微一笑就马上出去了。

3. So what do I do?那我怎么办?

So在此用作连词,其用法如下:

(1)置于句首,连接前面的句子,意为“那么,这样说来”。

如:So we will catch the 3 o’clock train.那么我们赶得上3点的火车。

(2)so用作连词,主要用于表结果,意为“所以”。

如:It’s very cold outside, so put on a heavy coat.外边很冷,因此穿一件厚大衣吧。

The door was locked, so we couldn’t get in.门锁上了,所以我们进不去。

4. You needn’t wait!你不必等了!

need在此处用作情态动词,意为“需要”。此时,常用于否定句、疑问句及must引起的一般疑问句的否定回答,其后用动词原形。

如:You needn’t come to school this afternoon.今天下午你不必来学校。

—Must I hand in my homework this afternoon?今天下午我必须交作业吗?

—No, you needn’t.不,你不必。

【拓展】(1)need用作实义动词,其后既可以接动词不定式,也可以接v-ing形式作宾语,表示“需要做某事”。当句子的主语是人时,用need to do sth.表示“某人需要做某事”。如:I need to exercise every morning.我每天早上需要锻炼。

(2)need作实义动词,当句子的主语是物时,用need doing表示“某物需要怎样处理”。如:Our classroom needs cleaning every day.我们的教室需要每天打扫。

5. …you accept a gift with both hands…….你们用双手接受礼物。

Accept及物动词,意为“接受,收到”,与receive同义。

辨析:accept与receive

accept表示主动而且高兴地接受;receive只表示被动地接受,没有主动的意思。

如:She has received his present, but she will not accept it.

她收到了他的礼物,但是她不会接受的。

巧记accept与receive的用法区别:

收礼物,很经常,accept, receive不一样。被动收到用receive, 主动接受accept来出场。6. …you mustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival…….在春节的第一天你不能打扫卫生。

do some cleaning意为“打扫卫生”,是一个由“do + some + doing”构成的短语,在否定句中常用do any cleaning。

如:You should do some cleaning after school.放学后你们应当打扫卫生。

Mother often does some cleaning at home.妈妈经常在家打扫卫生。

【拓展】do some washing, do some cooking, do some shopping, do some sewing

7. And you’d better not have your hair cut during the Spring Festival month.在春节那个月期间你最好不要理发。

you’d better是you had better的缩写形式。had better是一个常用短语,其后跟动词原形,意为“最好做某事”;其否定式是在had better 后直接加not,构成had better not do sth.,意为“最好不要做某事”。

如:We’d better take an umbrella.我们最好带上一把雨伞。

You’d better not go swimming alone.你最好不要单独去游泳。

链接中考:

It’s rather hot in the room. You’d better ______ the window or the door.

A. close

B. not to close

C. don’t close

D. not close

解析:根据or可判断出是否定句,had better not do sth.意为“最好不要做某事”。故选D。

8. They taste great.它们尝起来太好吃了。

taste在这里是连系动词,意为“尝起来”,其后要用形容词作表语。

如:Jiaozi from China tastes nice.中国的饺子尝起来很好吃。

The fish your mother cooked tastes delicious.你妈妈做的鱼尝起来美味可口。

Unit 2 In England, you usually drink tea with milk.在英国,你通常和奶茶。

1. For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time.

例如:当你第一次见到某人时你就必须说先生活夫人。

(1)for example意为“例如”,其后用逗号,用来列举事例。

如:Le t’s play games like this, for example, you can hide your pen somewhere and have your desk-mate guess where it is.让我们这样做游戏,例如:你可以把你的钢笔藏在某个地方,然后让你的同桌猜它在哪儿。

辨析:for example与such as

for example和such as都可作“例如”讲。

①for example用来举例说明,所举的例子既可以是词组,也可以是句子。有时可作为插入语,不影响句子其他部分的语法关系。

如:A lot of people here, for example, John, would rather have coffee.这儿的许多人,例如约翰,宁愿喝咖啡。

②such as用来列举事物,插在被列举事物与前面的名词之间。

如:The farm grows various kinds of crops, such as wheat, corn, cotton and rice.

这个农场种植各种各样的庄稼,例如麦子、玉米、棉花和水稻。

(2)someone是一个不定代词,意为“某人,有人”,作主语时谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式。

如:There is someone waiting for you at the school gate.有人在校门口等你。

Someone is knocking at the door.有人在敲门。

2. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first

“前后意义照应法”解答完形填空题

在做完形填空时,有些题目设计得很巧妙,可能一时难以确定答案。很可能开头的空格填入三个或四个选项在语法上都成立,但要读完整篇文章才能得出正确答案。反之亦然,文末的空格有可能需要在上文找到相关的线索或提示。此时我们应遵循“前后意义照应”的原则,先细读空格处句子,在回顾上文。根据“前后意义照应”的原则解答题目,然后通读全文,确定答案。

例如:

One day, Bill went to eat at a restaurant in Paris. Suddenly a young ______ sat down beside him. Bill couldn’t think what she wanted. She did n ot look very happy…

A. man

B. daughter

C. woman

D. boy

答案:C

【思路点拨】

【经典范文】

Dumplings are traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year’s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings.

Do you know how to make them?

The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. When the wrappers are done, it’s time to prepare the filling.

When all these preparations are done, we can start making dumplings. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship, because when we boil them in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea.

“通过定义或释义关系猜词义”解答阅读理解题

阅读理解中有些文章,特别是科技类文章,通常会对一些关键词给予定义,作者为了使读者正确理解,需要做出较浅显的解释或说明。我们可以利用定义法来猜测这些词的意思。释义法就是根据文章的上下文,对生词通过定语(从句)、表语甚至用逗号、破折号等引出并加以解释说明。虽然不像定义法那样严谨,但是提供的信息也能使我们猜出生词的词义。常用的标志性词汇有be, mean, refer to, be called, be known as, that is, or , in other words或破折号等。

例如:

To improve people’s lives, Hyderabad is planting more and more trees. The city is even creating greener buildings that use less water and less electricity for power. Adding green to a city has a number of advantages. For example, trees make the air cleaner. In Hyderabad, streets were

grey and dirty in the past. However, today they are filled with trees and flowers, making the city cleaner and more colorful. Green areas also give people places to relax or exercise. A study in the USA shows an interesting thing: the greener a neighborhood is, the less crime there is.

What does the underlined word “greener” mean?

A. Taller.

B. Easier.

C. Better for the environment.

D. More brightly colored.

答案:C

解析:原文处为“The city is even creating greener buildings that use less water and less electricity for power.”,这里定语从句对greener buildings加以解释,即that use less water and less electricity for power,由此可知greener意为“绿色的,环保的”,也就是对环境更有益。所以真确答案是C项。

Show Your Love and Keep Safe

Recently, earthquakes happened in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. It’s reported that many houses were destroyed and many people lost their home. All the Chinese people are quite sad.

What can we do for them? We can donate money to them. And, writing letters or sending emails to them can cheer them up.

An earthquake is terrible. So we should often think of the ways to keep safe during an earthquake.

First, stay calm and do everything the teacher tells you. Second, take cover under a desk quickly and do not move. Third, don’t stand near high buildings. Of possible, you’d better go to the playground, stay where you are until the earth stops shaking.
