1. 理解并灵活运用重点单词、词组
2. 理解、掌握并灵活运用重点句型
1. though 虽然，尽管
(1) though 做副词时意为“可是，不过”，一般放在句末。例如：
It’s hard work. I enjoy it though. 工作很辛苦，可是我乐意干。
(2) though 做连词意为“虽然，尽管”，可以与although 换用，although 比though 更加正式。
例如：
A lthough
/ Though
there are still problems to solve, China’s tree-planting programmes are huge.
尽管中国的植树工程还有问题需要解决，但是它仍然是个巨大的项目。
注意：
在as though“仿佛，好像”even though“即使，纵然”等固定短语中不能用although。
She closed her eyes as
though
she were tired. 她闭上眼，仿佛很疲劳似的。
2. worth 值得的, be worth doing 值得做某事
worth 意为“值得的，有……的价值的”等，常常用作形容词。在句中一般作表语，有时也可
用作定语。如：a place worth seeing（值得一看的地方），a dictionary worth $50（一本值50 美
元的词典）等。worth 用作表语时，不能单独使用，其后通常接动词的-ing 形式，而不能接动
词不定式。常用的句式有：
(1)“主语+be+worth+动词的-ing 形式+……”此时，句子的主语就是worth 之后动词-ing 形式
2
的逻辑宾语。例如：
Now John is worth talking to. 现在值得与约翰谈一谈。
He isn’t worth getting angry with. 犯不上跟他生气。
注意：动词的-ing 形式之后的介词不可省去。worth
后面的动词
-ing
形式一般用主动形式表示被
动意义，而不能直接用被动形式。试比较：
正： The film isn’t worth seeing. 误：The film isn’t worth being seen. 这部电影不值得看。
(2) “It（形式主语）+be+worth+动词的-ing 形式+……”例如：
It isn’t worth repairing the bike. 这辆自行车不值得修理了。
Is it worth visiting the city? 这个城市值得参观吗？
一般来说，worth 前面可用well
, really
, very much
, hardly
, easily
等词语修饰，但一般不用very
修饰。例如：
This is really worth doing. 这确实值得一做。
He has something very much worth saying. 他有些话很值得讲。
3. stop 停止
(1) stop doing sth. 停止做某事。例如：
We stopped
talking
when our teacher came in. 老师走进教室的时候，我们停止了说话。
(2) stop to do sth. 停下来去做某事。例如：
My father always stop
to buy
a newspaper on his way home.
爸爸总是在下班回家的路上停下去买一份报纸。
(3) stop sb. from doing sth. 阻止某人做某事。例如：
You should stop your son making trouble. 你应该阻止你儿子惹麻烦。
4. prevent sb. from doing sth. 防止某人做某事，from 后加动名词，例如：
We should prevent
children
from
approaching
the fire. 我们应该阻止孩子接近火。
【用法相似词组】
keep sb/ sth. from doing sth. 阻碍/阻止某人做某事
stop sb. from doing sth. 阻止某人做某事
5. by+年份，意为“到那一年”，例如：
55% of the forest could be gone by
2030
. 到2030 年，55%的森林将会消失。
【by 的用法拓展】
(1) 表示位置，意思是“在……旁边”，“靠近……”，有时可与beside 互换。例如：
The girls are playing by (beside) the lake. 女孩们正在湖边玩。
此时要注意它与介词near 有所不同，即by 表示的距离更“近”。试比较：
He lives by the sea. 他住在海滨。 He lives near the sea. 他住在离海不远处。
(2)表示交通方式，意为“乘坐”，后接表示交通工具的名词（如 bus, bike, train, plane, car,
taxi, ship 等）或与交通工具密切相关的名词（如air, water, land, road 等），在句中主要用作方
式状语，其中通常不用冠词或其他限定词。
Jim often goes to work by bike. 吉姆常骑自行车上班。
但是，若表示交通工具的名词前插有定语修饰语，则也可以用冠词。例如：
3
We’re going by the 9:30 train. 我们坐9:30 的火车去。
We went to Shanghai by a large ship. 我们乘一艘大船去上海。
注意：语说“步行”，英语习惯上用on foot, 而不用 by foot。
(3)表示时间，意思是“在……以前；不迟于……”。例如：
My mother will come back by 6:00. 我妈妈将在六点前回来。
(4) 表示动词执行者，意思是“被；由”，主要用于被动语态，此时要注意它与介词with 的区
别：by 表示动作的主体，with 表示动作者的手段工具。例如：
The house was destroyed by fire. 此屋被大火烧毁。
（fire 是动作的主体，此句的主动形式为Fire destroyed the house.）
The house was destroyed with fire. 此屋是（被人）用火烧毁的。
（fire 只是工具，动作的主体另有其人，此句可认为省略了一个by 短语，如by someone 之类的，
其主动形式可以是 Someone destroyed the house with fire.）
(5) by + v.-ing 意思是“通过……，以……的方式”，后面常接v.-ing 形式，表示“通过某种方
式”，即表示行为的方式或手段。
I practice speaking English by joining an English-language club.
我通过加入一个英语语言俱乐部来练习讲英语。
介词by + v.-ing 结构常用来回答How do you...?
或
How can I...?
之类的问题。
---How do you learn English? 你怎样学习英语呢？
---I learn English by reading aloud. 我通过大声朗读来学英语。
6. be careful to do sth. 意为“小心地做某事”。例如：

careful
to answer the question asked by the reporters.
他小心翼翼地回答了记者提出的问题。
be careful about 小心，当心，例如：
We need to be
careful
about
how we use antibiotics. 我们需要小心使用抗生素。
【知识拓展】
care v/n 关心，在意。 care about 关心 take care of 照顾
careful adj. 小心的，仔细的；careless adj. 粗心的
carefulness n. 细心 carelessness n. 粗心
7. to start with 意为“首先，第一，起初”，例如：
To
start
with
, we haven’t enough money, and secondly we haven’t enough time.
首先，我们没有足够的资金；其次，我们没有足够的时间。
start with 意为“以…开始；从…着手”，后跟名词或名词短语。end with 意为“以…结束”。
例如：
Our class starts
with
a interesting game. 我们的课从一个有趣的游戏开始。
The experiment ended
with
success. 这个实验成功了。
8. turn 短语小结
turn on 打开 turn off 关闭 turn up 调大，出现 turn down 调小，拒绝 turn in 交上，
归还
4
turn into 变成 turn out to be 证明是，结果是 turn over 翻转，移交给 take turns 轮流，
依次
it’s one’s turn to do sth. 轮到某人做某事
9. 后加doing 和to do 意思不同的动词。
(1) remember doing 记得曾做过 remember to do 记得去做
(2) forget doing 忘记曾做过 forget to do 忘记去做
(3) regret doing 后悔做 regret to do 遗憾做
(4) try doing 尝试做 try to do 努力做
(5) go on doing 继续做同一件事 go on to do 继续做另一件事
以“remember”为例，例如：

I’m sure many great people think about how they can make a difference in the world.
1
, sometimes little things can make a really big difference. I learned this

late from work after 9 p.m., and he

out the Disney movie Lilo＆Stitch. Papa always loved
it when I did that, and he

laughing loudly. I was happy that I had made my father laugh
so much.

you make me laugh, you make me
feel a lot better?”

四、完形填空
John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children, a boy and a girl. Once John was asked to go
on a business trip and Mary needed to go along too. They found a babysitter to care for the
21
and made
the trip, returning home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their home town, they 2 2 smoke, and they went to see what it was. They found
a home on fire. Mary said, “Oh, well, it isn’t our home. Let’s go.”
But John drove
2 3
and said, “The home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the factory. He
wouldn’t be off work yet, maybe there’s something we would do.” “It has something to do with us,” said
Mary.
But John drove up, stopped and found the whole house on fire. A woman in the street was crying,
“The children! 2 4 the children!” John grabbed （抓） her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of
yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the 2 5
, ”cried the woman, “down the hall and to the
left.”
Although Mary didn’t agree, John wet his clothes and 2 6 for the bathroom which was full of
smoke and heat. He found the door and grabbed two children, holding one under each arm. As he left he
could hear some other sound like crying. He sent the two badly 2 7
and nearly suffocated（窒息）
children into waiting arms. Then he was told two more children were still in there. Mary grabbed his arm
and shouted, “John! Don’t go back! That house will fall down in any second!”
But he shook her off and went back by 2 8 his way down the smoke-filled hallway and into the
room. It seemed a century had passed 2 9 he found both children and started back. They were coughing
and he lowered his body trying to get some 3 0
. As he walked up the endless steps, the thought went
through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies, and at last when they
came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just saved his own children.

五、阅读理解
A
Good evening, thank you all for coming here to learn about our school’s recycling program.
The recycling is planned as a three-part program: searching, collecting and carrying. The first part,
searching, is the hardest one. Most people don’t like to take the time to separate rubbish and this is why
most recycling programs usually fail. However, we believe that our program will work.
From now on, instead of seeing the usual black rubbish cans all over the school, you will see three
different colored rubbish cans. Pink cans are for paper, blue cans are for bottles, and white cans are for all
the other waste. Just remember: pink — paper, blue — bottles, white — waste. After the rubbish is
collected, it needs to be sorted and then taken to the recycling center.
Since this recycling program is still a volunteer program, we ask for no more than 5 hours per person
in each week. Your job will be to collect all sorts of rubbish and take it to different centers.
If you would like to help, please leave me your name and telephone number and we’ll meet here on
the 15th September right after school. Hope to see you then!
31. Which part is the most difficult one in the program?
A. Searching
B. Collecting C. Carrying
D. Recycling
32. What color cans are for all the other waste?
A. Pink B. Blue C. White D. Black
33. What you hear might be_______.
A. an advertisement
B. a story
C. a piece of news
D. an introduction
B
Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of
life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise
underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported
their observations(观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.
Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings
recorded with equipment placed underwater near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada.
They say engine（发动机） noise is continuous during the day, and a little less strong at night.
Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise
could make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds
and other noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.
11
Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of
underwater noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.
Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies(频率) that these animals use for all their vital（生死
攸关的） behaviors - for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators(捕食者) and for going ahead.
Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried
about.
“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been
done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem.
It’s a global problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”
One answer is to design
quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, or NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for
Noise Control Engineering, the company which helped design the boats.
Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller（螺旋桨）. Better shaped
propellers and ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which
produce less noise. Mr. Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used
in the military for some time.
34. The underlined phrase “ interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means_____.
A. controlling B. disturbing C. encouraging D. stopping
35. We can tell that whales depend on sound for_____.
A. communicating with their mates
B. stopping predators from fishing
C. fighting against the shipping noise
D. telling the night time from the day
36. From the passage we can learn that_____.
A. expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean
B. people should stop making big ships in order to save whales
C. the other animals in the ocean also depend on sound for living
D. it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The ocean is getting noisier.
B. Whales and ships in the ocean.
C. Whales are facing a serious problem.
D. Quiet ships are needed in the ocean.
