●思路開拓
實戰類例
1.-You haven't been to Beijing,have you?
-_____.How I wish to go there!
A.Yes,I have B.Yes,I haven't
C.No,I have D.No,I haven't
【解析】 本題考查反意問句的答語。首先，根據下文“我多么希望去那兒呀！”可推斷出答話人沒有去過北京。但是，本題易受漢語習慣的影響而誤選B項：“你沒有去過北京，是吧？”“是的，沒有去過。” 英語的習慣是“yes”配用肯定句，“no”配用否定句；既然是“沒去過”就要配用“no”，實際上，英語的“no”是針對句中所陳述的事情“到過北京”而言的；而漢語的“是的”是表示“對，你說得對”，是針對說話人的觀點而發表議論。這種英漢差異主要發生在兩種句型中：一種是由“否定陳述句+ 肯定簡略句”(如本題)，另一種是“否定的一般疑問句”，如：“Isn't today your birthday?”“No,it isn't.”(今天不是你的生日吧？對，不是。)故答案為D。
【答案】 D
2.Hello,I _____ you _____ in London.How long have you been here?
A.don't know;were B.hadn't known;are
C.haven't known;are D.didn't know;were
【解析】 本題通過語境考查動詞的時態。A項是“我現在不知道你曾在倫敦住過”。B項是過去完成時，此處因沒有一過去動作與之相比較，故不能用。C項是“我直到現在還不知道你現住在倫敦”。由下文的How long have you been here?可知題意是“現在才知道”。因此只有D項符合題意。又如：Mathilde! Oh,yes.Sorry,I didn't recognize you.Where have you been all these years./Oh,this book is new to me,but I thought I had read it before./Smith has just arrived,but I didn't think he would come until tomorrow.
【答案】 D
3.-I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.
-Is that _____ you had a few days off?
A.why B.when
C.what D.where
【解析】 本題考查在語境中辨析表語從句的引導詞。語境為：“上周我開車到珠海看了航空表演。”“所以你請了幾天假？”英語中可用That's why…句型表示“所以就……；這就是做……的原因”，如：It's raining heavily.That's why I have to stay at home./Is that why you did it?而what是關系代詞，引導從句時通常在從句中作主語、賓語或表語，填入此句中會出現語法錯誤。when與where則與題意不符。
【答案】 A
4.They have made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run _____ through the narrow High Street.
A.now and then B.day and night
C.up and down D.over and over
【解析】 本題考查根據語境辨析短語的意思。now and then時而，不時地；day and night夜以繼日地；up and down來回地；over and over反復地，再三地。根據語境“他們決定連續兩周不停地敲鐘，以抗議夜以繼日穿梭于狹窄的High Street大街上的載重汽車。”可知答案。
【答案】 B
5.Try _____ at the back door if nobody answers you at the front door.
A.to knock B.to be knocking
C.knocking D.having knocked
【解析】 本題考查非謂語動詞的用法。動詞try后可接不定式或動名詞作賓語，但意義大不相同。try to do sth.意為“盡力去做某事”，強調做某事有一定困難，需要付出努力和艱辛；try doing sth.意為“試著去做某事”，強調事情做過之后會有什么樣的結果或是什么樣子。比較：I tried to stand on my head but couldn't./I tried standing on my head but it gave me a headache.此題題意是“如在前門沒人應答，你可試著敲敲后門（看是否有人給你開門）。”故可知答案為C。
【答案】 C

§6.3閱讀理解
A
well-dressed man came into a famous jewellery shop.He explained that he wished to buy a pearl(珍珠) for his wife's birthday and that the price didn't matter since business had been very good for him that year.After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls,he chose a nice black one that cost＄5 000.He paid for the pearl,shook hands with the jeweller and left.
A few days later the man returned and said his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it.It had to be exactly the same size and quality(質地) as she wanted a pair of earrings(耳環) made.“Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?”said the man.The jeweller replied,“I would say it's nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.”
The rich man asked the jeweller to advertise(登廣告) in the newspapers,and offered ＄25 000 for the matching pearl.Many people answered the ad(廣告),but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweller had given up hope,a little old lady came in.To his surprise,she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag.“I don't like to sell it,”she said sadly.“I inherited(繼承) it from my mother,and my mother inherited from hers.But now I really need the money.”
The jeweller was quick to pay her before she changed her mind.Then he called therich man's hotel to tell him the good news.The rich man,however,was nowhere to be found.

After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type,the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock.When,half an hour later than planned,James did return to the shop with his future wife Laura,the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.When she was asked to show them some necklaces,she first broughtout some inexpensive ones for them to choose,and then gave them the one she hadprepared.A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied.James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.

An American woman Anna Jarvis was the first person to decide that mothers should have a holiday in their honour each year. Miss Jarvis started her campaign(戰役) in 1906 in her home city Philadelphia. She wrote thousands of letters to congressmen(國會議員), city officials, teachers and newspaper publishers, proposing(提議) an official holiday for mothers. She travelled all over America, trying to get support(支持) for the idea. Her battle went on for years.
In 1914 the Congress declared(宣布) the second Sunday in May each year as Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis wanted Mother's Day to be a simple event. She thought children could honour their mothers by spending some time with them as an act of love and respect. However, the holiday turned out to be a major event for department stores, flower shops and greeting-card industry, which Miss Jarvis didn't like.

Cornelia's Jewels
It was a bright morning in the old city of Rome many hundred years ago.In a vine-covered summer house in a beautiful garden,two boys were standing.They were looking at their mother and her friend,who were walking among the flowers and trees.
“Did you ever see so handsome a lady as our mother's friend?”asked the younger boy,holding his tall brother's hand.“She looks like a queen.”
“Yet she is not so beautiful as our mother,”said the elder boy.“She has a fine dress,it is true;but her face is not noble and kind.It is our mother who is like a queen.”
“That is true,”said the other,“there is no woman in Rome so much like a queen as our own dear mother.”
Soon Cornelia,their mother,came down the walk to speak with them.She was simply dressed in a plain white robe.Her arms and feet were bare,as was the custom in those days;and no rings nor chains glittered about her hands and neck.For her only crown,long braids of soft brown hair were coiled about her head;and a tender smile lit up her noble face as she looked into her sons' proud eyes.“Boys,”she said,“I have something to tell you.”
They bowed before her,as Roman lads were taught to do,and said,“What is it,mother?”
“You are to dine with us today,here in the garden;and then our friend is going to show us that wonderful casket of jewels of which you have heard so much.”
The brothers looked shyly at their mother's friend.Was it possible that she had still other rings besides those on her fingers?Could she have other gems besides those which sparkled in the chains about her neck?
When the simple out-door meal was over,a servant brought the casket from the house.The lady opened it.Ah,how those jewels dazzled the eyes of the wondering boys!There were ropes of pearls,white as milk,and smooth as satin;heaps of shining rubies,red as the glowing coals;sapphires as blue as the sky of that summer day;and diamonds that flashed and sparkled like the sunlight.
The brothers looked long at the gems.
“Ah!”whispered the younger;“if our mother could only have such beautiful things!”
At last,however,the casket was closed and carried carefully away.
“It is true,Cornelia,that you have no jewels?”asked her friend.“Is it true,as I have heard it whispered,that you are poor?”
“No,I am not poor,”answered Cornelia,and as she spoke she drew her two boys to her side;“for here are my jewels.They are worth more than all your gems.”
I am sure that the boys never forgot their mother's pride and love and care;and after years,when they had become great men in Rome,they often thought of thiss cene in the garden.And the world still likes to hear the story of Cornelia's jewels.
