第一篇:高三英語UNIT3講稿
Unit 7 A Christmas Carol 典型例題
1.The plane flew ____ in the sky and people spoke _____ of the experienced pilot.A.highly;highly B. high;high C.high;highly D.highly;high
【題解】選C。high與highly在本題中都是副詞,其區(qū)別是:high表示具體的高度,表示具體概念;highly通常指內心的估價,表示抽象概念,只用于比喻,說明程度,意為“高度地”,從所修飾的動詞來看,C項為正確答案。
2.A new play ____at the theatre this week.Would you like to see it?
A.has been put on B.has put on C.is being put on D.will put on
【題解】選C。首先考慮這是一個被動語態(tài)句,需排除B、D兩項。根據第二個句子的意思可知,該戲還在公演,而選項A用現在完成時具有結束之意,與第二句相矛盾,故應排除。選項C用的是被動語態(tài)的現在進行時,表示put on這一動作在此階段正在進行,符合句意。
3.Suddenly all the lights went out,and I got a ____candle.
A.lit B.lighted C.lighting D.light
【題解】選B。本題是過去分詞作定語,修飾名詞candle,意為“點燃的蠟燭”。但動詞light的過去分詞有兩種形式,即lit和lighted,前者只能作謂語動詞用,后者不僅可以作謂語,還可作定語用,故本題只能用lighted。
4.Give this to _____you think can do the work well.
A.who B.whoever C.whomever D.however
【題解】選B。本題中介詞to后面接的是賓語從句,所選的詞應是賓語從句的主語。故C、D兩項可先排除。在A、B兩項中,who引導賓語從句時通常含有疑問之意,而whoever意為“任何人”,相當于anyone who。句中的you think是插入語。句意是“把這給你認為能做好這工作的任何人”,無疑問之意,故選B。
5._____ supper,the students went out for a walk.
A.Having had B.Having C.Eating D.Having taken
【題解】選A。本題是現在分詞作狀語。但該狀語所表示的動作先于謂語動詞動作的發(fā)生,故分詞應該用完成式,又由于表示“吃飯”用動詞have,而不用have,故棄D選A。
6.He used to_____ his teaching years ago,but now he is used to ____a boss.A.devote to;be B.be devoted to;being C.devote himself;be D.devote;being 【題解】選B。used to后接動詞原形,意為“過去常?!?,devote to意為“獻身于”,由于devote是及物動詞,故后須接賓語或用被動語態(tài)形式;而be used to意為“習慣于”,后接名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式,據以上分析,應選B。題意為“幾年以前他一心撲在教學上,但現在他已習慣于當老板了?!?/p>
7.We were all wild with joy _____the news that our football team had won the game.
A.at B.on C.by D.for 【題解】選A。本題表示“欣喜若狂”的原因是由于得知足球隊得勝的消息。at可用來表示“見了或聽了某事后而產生的驚、喜、怒、哀、樂”等情緒,通常用在一些表示情緒的動詞或形容詞之后。本題其它選項中的介詞不能表達此意。
8.____to sing a song,Miss Green couldn?t very well refuse.
A.To be asked B.Having asked C.Inviting D.Asked 【題解】選D。本題的要點是區(qū)別動詞的非謂語形式,由于該非謂語形式在句中作狀語,且與主語是被動關系,故應該用被動式。B、C兩項是主動式,應排除。在A、D項之間,A項是不定式,通常表示目的;D項是過去分詞,表示被動且表示主句與謂語動作同步發(fā)生,符合題意。
9.He stood by the window with ____me.
A.his eyes fixed on B.his eyes fixing on C.fixing his eyes to D.his eyes to fix on
【題解】選A。本題帶有with復合結構。fix one?s eyes on sb./sth.表示“眼睛盯著某人或某物”,在復合結構中one?s eyes和fix是被動關系,故選A。
10.We talked and laughed ____the dinner and had a wonderful time.
A.in B.at C.over D.for
【題解】選C。laugh不與in或for連用。laugh at意為“嘲笑”,不合題意,over在此處意為“在(做)……時”,題意是:我們在吃飯時邊吃邊談笑。再如:He sang over his work.(他邊工作邊唱歌。)其中的over也是此意。
語法指南
狀 語
狀語是修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞或整個句子的成分。在句中狀語的位置比較靈活,一般來說,修飾形容詞的狀語,放在被修飾動詞之前。修飾動詞的狀語,放在動詞之后,但有些副詞如often,always,never,usually等則放在動詞之前,能夠作狀語的有:副詞、形容詞或形容詞短語、名詞或名詞短語、不定式、分詞及從句。現簡述如下:
▲副詞作狀語。如:
Have you seen him recently?你最近見到他了嗎?
Generally she remained in on Sunday evening.一般說來星期日晚上她都留在家里。
I foolishly forgot my passport.我愚蠢地忘了帶護照。
It rained,therefore,the game was put off.下雨了,因此球賽推遲了。
▲介詞短語作狀語。如:
He traveled in Africa for six months.他在非洲旅行了六個月。
We found his house without difficulty.我們很容易地找到了他的家。
With all this rain, there?ll be good crop.有這么多雨水,收成會很好。
There?s a bank opposite my office.我辦公室對面有一家銀行。
▲形容詞及其短語作狀語。如:
Greatly disappointed,he decided to leave the place.他大為失望,決定離開這個地方。
They waited,breathless,for the result.他們屏住呼吸等待結果。
They all rushed over,eager to help him.他們都跑了過來,急于要幫助他。
He spent five days in the wind and snow,cold and hungry.他又冷又餓地在風雪中過了五天。
▲不定式作狀語。如:
He came here to borrow a bike.他來這兒借輛自行車。
Man sends rockets into outer space to study conditions there.
人類把火箭送到外層空間去探索那里的情況。
Tom was so foolish as to tell lies to the police.湯姆太傻了,竟對警察說謊。
I pretended to be happy to know him.我裝出了由于認識他而高興的樣子。
▲分詞作狀語。如:
Seeing the sun rising above the surface of the sea, we let out a shout of joy.看到太陽從海面升起來,我們高興得叫了起來。
Seen form the hill,our school looks more beautiful.從山上望去,我們的學校更美了。
Judging from his accent,he must be from Henan.從口音上判斷,他肯定是河南人。
Buried deep down in the earth,the dead forests rotted away and became coal.
由于在地下埋得很深,死的森林腐爛而變成了煤。
【注】分詞作狀語時,當分詞的邏輯主語不是句子的主語時,分詞需帶自已的主語,從而形成獨立主格結構作狀語。如:
There being no bus,we had to walk home.沒有公共汽車了,我們只得步行回家。
He lay on his hack,his hands crossed under his head.他面朝天,頭枕著手躺著。
Jack being away,John had to do the work.杰克不在,只好由約翰來做這工作。
▲名詞或其短語作狀語。如:
We walked ten miles to the town.我們走了十英里到了這個鎮(zhèn)上。
He came here the day before yesterday.他前天到這兒。
Wait a minute,please.請等一下。
▲狀語從句
狀語從句在句中用來修飾謂語、定語、狀語或整個句子。根據其意思的不同,可分為時間、地點、原因、目的、結果、方式、比較、條件等九種狀語從句,每種狀語從句都有一定的連詞引導,所以,我們在復習狀語從句時,一定要把有關連詞的意思、用法和注意事項弄清楚。下面我們對各類狀語從句作必要的說明。
▲時間狀語從句通常由when,while,as,as soon as,until,till,the moment,the instant,every time,once,directly,immediately等連詞引導。如:
When I have finished,I?ll tell you.當我完成的時候,我就告訴你。
As soon as he arrives,he will start work.他一到達,就開始工作。
We knew that till he arrived nothing would be done.我們知道,直到他到達之前,沒有辦法。
The moment I saw him,I recognized him.我一見到他就認出他來了。
Every time he came,he would bring me some books to read.每次他來,總要帶些書給我看。
They have been discussing this question since the meeting began.從會議開始到現在,他們一直在討論這個問題。
Once the film is made,all the young people will want to see it.
這部影片一拍好,所有的年輕人都會想看。
【注】在時間狀語從句中,連詞when和while的用法有所不同。when既可以指一點時間,又可以指一段時間;而while只能指一段時間,所以在while引導的狀語從句中,不能用終止性動詞。另外,在when和while從句中,只要從句的主語與主句的主語一致,在從句中就可以省去主語和to be,只用一個現在分詞或過去分詞,有時可在when和while之后直接跟介詞短語。如:
When completed,the railway will connect the two cities.
這條鐵路建成后,將把這兩個城市連接起來。
While in London,Marx spent a lot of time studying in the British Museum.
馬克思在倫敦的時候,用了很多時間在大英博物館學習研究。
Be careful when crossing the street.過馬路時要當心。
【注】as在時間狀語從句中經常指一個動作的過程,所以從句大都用進行時態(tài),如我們不能說as he came,但可以說as he was coming into the room。因為as he came表示動作已結束,而as he was coming表示一個正在進行的動作。
【注】當我們看到until或till引導的時間狀語從句時要特別注意,當主句是肯定句時,謂語動詞一定要用持續(xù)性動詞;當主句是否定句時,謂語動詞既可以是終止性動詞,也可以是持續(xù)性動詞。如:
We walked along the river until it was dark.我們沿著河散步,到天黑才回去。
I didn?t go to bed until the clock struck twelve.我直到十二點才去睡覺。
He didn?t know anything about it until I told him.直到我告訴他,他才知道此事。
▲地點狀語從句
地點狀語從句實際上只有兩個連詞,即where和wherever。如:
Put the medicine where he can easily get it.把藥放在他容易拿到的地方。
Wherever you go,you will always find the same thing.不論你去哪里,你總會發(fā)現同樣的事情。
Put a mark where you find a question.在發(fā)現問題的地方做一個記號。
Where the high building stands there used to be some low houses.
在那座高樓聳立的地方,原來有一些低矮的房子。
▲原因狀語從句
原因狀語從句由as,because,since,now that等引導。如:
As you are here,you had better help me.既然你在這里,你最好來幫助我。
Since you won?t take advice,there is no point in asking for it.既然你不聽忠告,就沒有征求的必要。
Now that you are here,let?s have a discussion over the question.
既然你們都在這里,我們就討論一下這個問題吧!
I do it because I like it.因為我喜歡我才干。
【注】as,since,now that,seeing that等連詞意思很接近,我們可以把它們作為一類放在一起與because從句作比較,as等從句所敘述的原因實際上讀者是知道的,或是自己能看得出的,因而不是整個句子的重點所在,而because引導的從句是整個句子的重點所在。試比較下列句子:
As he is honest,we all like him.由于他很誠實,我們都喜歡他。
We all like him because he is honest.我們喜歡他是因為他誠實。
前一句重點在于說明我們都喜歡他,而后一句則著重說明我們喜歡他的原因,語氣上顯然有很大的不同,請體會其中的差異。
▲方式狀語從句
方式狀語從句通常描寫一個人或物是什么樣子,或者一件事是如何做的,其主要的連詞是as和as if(as though)。以as if(as though)引導的從句,如講的是與事實相反的情況,則要用虛擬語氣。如:
Do as I tell you.照我告訴你們的去做。
The students do the maths exercises as the teacher has taught them.
學生們按照老師教的去做數學練習。
Just as water is the most important of liquids,air is the most important of the gases.
正如水是液體中最重要的液體一樣,空氣是氣體中最重要的氣體。
You should do the experiment as the teacher does.你應該像老師那樣去做實驗。
She opened her lips as if she were going to say something.她張著嘴,好像要說些什么。
He reached out his hand as though he were going to catch something.
他伸出手來,好像在設法捕捉一個什么東西。
▲比較狀語從句
此類從句是提出一個事實或情況與主句表達的事情或情況相比較,有各種類型的比較,如同級比較、比較級,或兩者同時增強或減弱的正比例比較,也有一增一減的反比例比較。如:
This film is not such an interesting one as people say.這部影片不像人們說的那樣有趣。
Her performance was better than we expected.她的表演比我們預料的要好些。
If you study maths,the more practice there is,the higher your skills will be.
如果你學數學,練得越多,你的技巧也就越高。
The more I read the novel,the less I like it.這部小說我越看越不喜歡。
She loves her motherland as dearly as she loves her mother.她像愛她的母親一樣地愛著她的祖國。
The more you practice speaking English,the better you win do it.你英語說得越多,就說得越好。
▲讓步狀語從句
讓步狀語從句常用though,although,while,as,no matter+疑問詞,however,whatever等詞引導。請看下列例句:
Although it was late,he continued doing his homework.盡管時間很晚了,但他仍在繼續(xù)做作業(yè)。
Although she was in a hurry,she stopped to help the boy.
盡管她很匆忙,但她還是停了下來幫助這個男孩。
Their gift,though it is small,is great in reality.他們的禮物即使微薄,但實際上卻是很豐厚的。
Although the medicine tastes bad,yet it can cure your illness.盡管藥的味道不好,但它能治你的病。
(1)as引導的讓步狀語從句必須倒裝,though有時也可這樣用。如:
Tired as he was,he went on working.盡管他很疲勞,但仍繼續(xù)工作。
Child as he was,he knew a lot.盡管他還是個孩子,但他懂得很多。
Bravely though/as the players fought,they had no chance of winning.
雖然運動員們奮力拼搏,但他們無望獲勝。
Old as he is,he is very strong.盡管他年紀大了,他仍很強壯。
【注】在as引導的讓步狀語從句中,如名詞置于句首,則不能用不定冠詞。though引導的讓步狀語從句有語序倒裝現象時,一般不用although。同時,連詞while也可引導讓步狀語從句,但不能用倒裝語序。如:
While it can do a lot of things for man,a computer can?t work without man?s help.雖然計算機能為人做許多事,但沒有人的幫助它是不能工作的。
While I admit that the problems are difficult,I don?t agree that they can?t be solved.
雖然我承認這些問題很困難,但我并不同意它們無法解決。
(2)讓步狀語從句還可由even if或even though引導,作“縱然”、“即使”解,但不能用even although。如:
Even if he had been very busy,he would have come to help us.
即使他當時很忙,他也會來幫助我們的。
Even if you are not fond of flowers,you shouldn?t miss the flower exhibition.
即使你不喜歡花,這次花展你也該去看一看。
(3)if有時也可引導讓步狀語從句,作“即使”“雖然”解釋。如:
If the country is poor,it is developing very fast.即使這個國家很窮,它也在迅速發(fā)展。

I consider my something of an expert on apologizes.A quick temper has 1 me with plenty of opportunities(機會)to make them.In one of my earliest 2,my mother is telling me,“Don?t watch the 3 When you say,?I?m sorry.? Hold your head up and look the person in the 4,so he?ll know you 5 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n)6 apology:it must be direct.You must never 7 to be doing something else.You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 10 .You do not apologize to a hostess(主人),whose guest of honor you treat 11,by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 12 .
One of the important things we should do for an 13 .Apology is a readiness to 14 the responsibility(責任)for our careless mistakes.We are used to making excuses,which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us.Since most people are openhearted,the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 themselves.That,after all,is the 18 of every apology.It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault:answering for one?s 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

Ⅳ.閱讀理解
A
Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years,but she was not happy there.Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor,a younger and less experienced person than she,did not like her.In fact,the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
One day,while talking with her friend Maria,she mentioned how discouraged she was.Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was direct or of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company.Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
During the interview,Mr Petri said,“You?re just the kind of person we need here.You?re being wasted in your other job.Give me a call in a day or two.I?m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.
That afternoon,Ruth Kenny,her supervisor,saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said,“Oh,so you finally decided to come back to work today?”
This was the last straw.She could not take another insult.Besides,Mr Petri was right:She was being wasted in this job.

Elephants don?t forget ——at least,female(雌性的)elephants don?t.Elephant families are matriarchal.And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group?s survival(生存),according to a study publish in April by Karen McComb,a biologist at Sussex University in England.
Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling(聯絡呼叫).An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby.A stranger can cause trouble,interrupting feeding or disturbing the young.So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her;then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller.False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding,so survival may depend in part on getting it right.Working with Cynthia Moss,who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago,McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old.She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls.In fact,a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact all than when hearing a familiar call.However,families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon he hearing an familiar contact call as compared with a familiar call.And they gathered together a lot.Moreover,the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favorable results:Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.
This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families.As elephants age,they continue to grow larger,as do their much wanted tusks(象牙).So the older——and wiser——a matriarch is,the greater the chance she will be killed.About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.
5.What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?
A.An old member of an elephant family.
B.A female head of an elephant family.
C.A wise elephant.
D.A large elephant.
6.When do elephants form into a group?
A.When they are feeding the young.
B.When they see a familiar elephant.
C.When they are giving birth to baby elephants.
D.When the leading elephant gives out a warning.
7.The research with recordings of contact calls shows ____.
A.how fast elephants form into groups
B.how important the age of a leading elephant is
C.how frightened elephants are when hearing a strange call
D.how frequently old elephants call other members of the family 8.The older a female elephant is,____.
A.the stronger she will be
B.the poorer memory she will have C.the more useless her tusks will be D.the more likely she will be killed
9.We can infer from the passage that elephants may _____.A.run into other elephant families
B.give wrong warnings to their mothers C.run away upon hearing a strange sound
D.produce more babies gathering together more often

Leading in Questions
1.Is there any love at first sight? Why?
Yes.The factors for such love can be analyzed as follows: 1)It is the human nature to love anything beautiful;2)Physical attraction is the first seed of love;3)Love in one’s heart is like a hidden fire;
4)Love, whatever form it takes, is usually blind;…
No.The reasons for absence of such love can be deduced as follows: 1)Looks can be deceitful;2)It takes time for true love to grow;3)Love is an integration of two minds into one;4)Such love is like a flash in the pan;…
2.Can true love grow between pen pals or net friends who have never met each other? Why?
Yes.1)Love is a product of communication.It is through lines of communication that both sides know what insight they can get into each other’s inner world, how much they can have in common, and what their unity will hold for either of them.2)Love feeds on mystery about each other.To any of us, what attracts is just something mysterious about others.The same holds true for lovers, because correspondence like this is often characteristic of mystery about each other.3)Love is born of beauty in the distance.As an old Chinese saying goes, distance produces beauty.A case in point is the popular poem—You live at the head of the Yangtze River while I live at its end;I miss you day and night without seeing you ever;but the truth is we drink water from the same river.No.1)Love does not grow without contact between two minds.It is well said that sparks of love shine with frequent clashes of two hearts.No collision of their ideas, no birth of true love.2)True love depends on acceptance of each other’s demerits as well as on hunger for each other’s merits.But such correspondence almost never reflects the weaknesses of lovers.3)True love is based on the ups and downs of lovers in daily life.Deprived of such rises and falls in everyday life, lovers find no way to know, understand, and respect each other from all sides, thus making it impossible for both to be sure whether they are a good match.Warm-up activities
1.What is the young soldier doing in the speaker’s story? Key: He is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with.2.What kind of ending do the speaker’s stories tend to have? Key: A happy ending.3.What does love mean to you?
Love may be many things to many people, among which are as follows: 1)Love means sunshine that makes one thirsty for the other.2)Love means a game of emotion that is always deprived of reason.3)Love means a tree whose fruit is sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter.4)Love means a bottle of wine with which both sides like being drunk.5)Love means a river in which both sides seek to be drowned…
