注意以下两个句子：

上面两个句子的意思基本一样，但第一个句子中有介词from，而第二个句子中却没有，这主要取决于主语是谁，是动作的发出者还是动作的承受者，所以大家做题时一定要仔细体会。

    例如：

He stressed two points in particular.
　　【拓    展】in particular= especially

　　key：B。前面说了Paul的许多优点，所以此处用in a word(总之)加以概括。句意为“我怎么夸都不过分。”

　　重点句型
　　疑问词+不定式
　　【原句回放】The doctors don’t know exactly what is wrong with me, so they don’t know how to make me well.
　　【点    拨】不定式和疑问词whether, what, which, whom, where, when, how, why等连用，在句中起名词性作用，常跟在tell, know, show, decide, learn, wonder，explain, advise, teach, discuss, find out等动词后作宾语，有时也作主语、表语。

例如：
Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research?
How to do it is a problem for me now.

例如：
　　We learn English so that we may get more knowledge.
　　【拓    展】
　　1.如果so that 引出的从句为否定结构，则其谓语多用should + v.原形，此时，so that 常译为“免得，以免”。例如：
　　He looked down so that she should not see his eyes.
　　2.so that 意为“以便于”， 引导目的状语从句； 而so…that…意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。
　　【随 时 练】John shut everybody out of the kitchen _____ he could prepare his grand surprise for the party.
    A. which　　 B. when　　 C. so that　　 D. as if
　　key：C。
　　句意：约翰把每个人都关在厨房门外，以便他能够为晚会准备一份巨大的惊喜。

　　be +形容词+ to do
　　【原句回放】The buttons in the lift should be easy for people in wheelchairs to reach…(Page 8)
　　【点    拨】be easy to do 中，easy后用不定式的主动形式表被动含义。
　　有此用法的形容词还有：important, light, difficult, heavy, comfortable，fit等。
　　例如：This kind of water isn’t fit to drink.
　　　　　The box is difficult to carry.
　　【随 时 练】Come and see me whenever______.（全国）
　　A. you are convenient　　　　　  B. you will be convenient
　　C. it is convenient to you　　   D. it will be convenient to you.
    key：C。convenient指做某事对某人来讲是方便的，而不能理解为，某人是方便的。我们可以把It is convenient to sb. to do sth.  故排除A、B。而D项时态不对，whenever引导时间状语从句，用一般现在时态表示将来的含义。

　　used to
　　【原句回放】In fact, I used to dream about one day being a famous football player and representing my country in the World Cup.(Page 1)
　　【点    拨】used to do sth.：indicating a frequent practice in the past:过去常常做某事。只用于过去时态。表示今昔对比，暗含现在已不再是原来的样子了。

例如：He used to get up early.
　　　　　I used to go to office on foot but I don’t do that now.
　　【拓    展】 1.there used to be…   过去有……
                 There used to be a restaurant here.

翻译下文，尽量运用本单元学过的词汇及短语：
　　《士兵突击》是07年很受欢迎的一部电视剧。其中有一个经常被人认为弱智的角色，叫许三多。他显得很木讷，或者说有点儿蠢。因为他，班里整体成绩总是远远落后于其他班。这使得战友和领导都很恼火。很多人认为他对这个集体一点好处都没有。总之，大家都不喜欢他。但是，班长却与其他人看法不一样，他一直相信和支持着许三多。灰心的时候，班长会鼓励他；进步的时候，班长会祝贺他。正是因为这个平易近人的班长，许三多坚持了下来。其实，许三多一点也不傻，只是因为从小的环境使得他有些胆怯，再加上部队要求很严格，他一时间难以适应而已。他有自己的理想，有自己的尊严。他不在乎别人的取笑，刻苦努力就是为了让自己变得出色些。当然，凭着自己的一份执着和别人的帮助，他最终变得非常出色，同时也赢得了别人的羡慕和赞赏。

He looks clumsy, in other words, a little stupid. It was due to his fault that his class is left far behind others. It makes the fellows in army even some leaders annoyed. Many of them consider him to be of no benefit to the staff. All in all, they all dislike him. But the monitor, unlike others, always believes Xu sanduo. When Sanduo loses heart, the monitor is so accessible that he encourages him in time. He also congratulates Sanduo on his progress. It is the monitor who helps him to hold on.
　　In fact，Xu sanduo isn’t stupid at all. The new environment makes him timid. In addition, the army is very particular about the members, so it’s a little difficult for him to adapt to the new surroundings. In reality, he has his own ambition and his own dignity. He ignores being laughed at and works hard to become better. Of course, with the perseverance and others’ help, he becomes remarkable and gets much admiration.

　　解析：

　　3. 为了得到高分，同学一定要注意长短句的交替使用.要想凸显你的英文水平，最好能用几个复杂句式。如：定语从句，状语从句，强调句。
　　4. 平时多背些好的范文，很有用处的。主要是学习一下，范文的谋篇布局，高级词汇，优美句式和过渡词的运用。

　　答案解析：
　　1. 解析：C。从句子结构分析，此处用不定式和what连用，构成疑问词+不定式结构，表将来。
　　2. 答案：A。 be particular about 对。。。。。。讲究，挑剔。
　　3. 答案：B。动词bear后接doing作宾语， 且此处应使用被动形式。
　　4. 答案: B。句意：经理向我们表明他不同意我们的意见之后，离开了会议室。做此题首先判断空格处不是谓语，而是时间状语，而这个时间状语在时间上发生于谓语动词left之前，所以要用现在分词的完成式。
　　5. 答案：A。所有航班因天气原因都取消了，这是他们不得不乘火车去的原因。Flights和cancel间存在逻辑动宾关系，故用被动。非谓语动词的逻辑主语不是句子的主语they,所有使用非谓语动词作状语时，要在其前加上逻辑主语。这种结构叫独立主格结构，相当于状语从句As all flights had been canceled作状语。

　　15. 答案：D。当主语由as well as，as much as，no less than，along with，with，like，rather than，together with，but，except，besides，including和in addition to等连接时，要根据其修饰的名词来决定谓语的单复数。例如：He as well as his parents has gone to Hong Kong.
　　16. 答案：D。have access to…有（使用某物，接近某人）…的权利/机会。
　　17. 答案：B。 take 主语可人可事，后常跟双宾，常见结构：It takes sb. …to do…。Pay 主语为人，付钱； spend 主语为人，常见结构：spend…on sth./ in doing; cost主语为物。

We Never Told Him He Couldn’t Do It

My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally—but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk.
　　The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never 1　 him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as 2　 　as the other children. So he didn’t know.
　　In the seventh grade he decided to 3　 for the cross-country team. Every day he 　4　 with the team. He worked harder and ran 5 　than any of the others—perhaps he 6　 　that the abilities that seemed to come 7 　to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the　 8 team runs, only the 9　 seven runners have the potential(潜能) to 10　 points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
　　He 11　 to run four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was 12 , so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all 13　 . I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more miles to go. The 14 　ran down his face and his eyes were glassy (无神的)from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and 15 　running. We never told him he couldn’t run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn’t know.
　　Two weeks later, the 16　 of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the 17　 . Joey had made the team. He was in 18　 the grade—the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn’t 19　 to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it. We never told him he couldn’t do it…so he didn’t know. He just 20　 it.

　　答案解析：
　　1.A。从上下文来看，此处说的是“我们从没有告诉他他很有可能不能像其他孩子跑的一样好。”
　　2.C。第1段中有…but would never run very well可得到暗示，此处说的是我们没有把大夫说的“他不能跑得很好”的话告诉他。
　　3.A。go all out for sth.做出努力来得到某物。这里说的是儿子努力争取参加运动队。
　　4.C。从后面的He walked harder and ran 40 than any of the others…等来看，此处说的是“他天天随运动队一起训练（train）”。
　　5.B。从上下文我们可知，儿子Joey身体先天不足，脚有畸形，但他却刻苦训练。此处选择more说的是“他比其他任何一个队员跑到都多”，这与He worked harder语意一致。
　　6.C。根据儿子那么刻苦地训练，作者推测儿子好像觉察（sensed）到了自己的不足。
　　7.B。从第41题我们已知这是作者的推测，从上下文来看，此处应用naturally。句意：也许他已觉察到似乎其他很多人很自然得到的能力并不会自然地来到他的身上。
　　8.B。该题应与第44，45题结合起来考虑。与后面的7名队员对照，此处说的是全队人员都在练跑。
　　9.C。尽管全体队员都在训练，但相比之下，只有7名最好的有潜能的队员才能为校得分。top在此指“最好的，顶尖的” 。
　　10.C。score points为“得分”这里指在比赛中拿到好的名次。
　　11.A。从后面的“即使他在发高烧的时候也在跑”可推测，此处说的是“他继续坚持练跑”，生病也不间断。
　　12.D。看到儿子练习那么刻苦，现在又是生病，故用“担心”比较合乎情理。句意为：我有些担心，于是放学后就去看他。
　　13.B。由上文可知，他常比别人多跑路，下文还有He had two more miles to go等，由此可推测，别人都训练完走了，而他仍在继续，也就是“我发现他独自一人（all alone）在跑。”
　　14.A。从常识可知，运动时从脸上流淌下来的当然是汗水。
　　15.B。此处描写的是他独自一人刻苦训练的场面，别人都走了而他却在坚持训练，故用kept。
　　16.A。该题应与52题结合起来考虑。从后面的Joey was number six…及the other six team members were all eighth-grades来看，此处说的是运动队队员名单确定了，故用names。
　　17.A。经过两个星期的努力，Joey的名字出现在了名单（list）上，列第六位。
　　18.B。从第3段第1句In seventh grade be decided to go……可知答案。
　　19.C。句意为：我们从没有告诉他不该“期望”着进入运动队。
　　20.A。这里说的是，Joey克服重重困难终于做到了。
