A baby learns about the world through the five senses: his eyes, ears, fingers,
nose, and tongue. He sees his parents. They look big to him. He hears a song. It
sounds beautiful. He touches a pillow. It feels soft. He smells food. It smells good.
He eats food. It tastes good.
Wait! Food smells good, and food tastes good, too. Do our noses and tongues do
the same thing? Not really. Let’s look more closely at noses and tongues. A person’s
nose can smell many different things. Try this test. Close your eyes and tell your
friend to put something right under your nose. Now smell it. Can you tell what it is?
Mostly, yes. Our noses are very smart. Most people can smell thousands of different
things. For example, when you smell a rose, you know it smells different from other
flowers.
What about our tongues? A person’s tongue is not as smart as his nose. In the
past, we thought we could only taste four different flavors such as sweet, sour, salty,
and bitter. Some food tastes like sugar or lemons. Other food can taste like salt or
bitter medicine. Recently, however, scientists found out
about a fifth taste. The fifth taste is hard to describe. It’s
the taste in meat. A food like cheese also has this taste.
Why do foods have different flavors? All candy tastes
sweet, but not all candy tastes the same. We use our noses
and tongues at the same time. Thus, grape candy tastes different from orange candy.

Reading - A Volunteer
Mom, you’ve been a volunteer, haven’t you? I think I want to
volunteer somewhere, too. I’m old enough to do it, don’t you think so?
Sure you are, Susan. It’s a great idea. I used to be a volunteer in our
hometown in America for many years. I have also done this in other
countries, too.
Which other countries have you been a volunteer in?
Well, I have been a volunteer in several countries in Africa. Because
we live in China now, I also do volunteer work here. Since last
year, I have helped at both the local hospital and an elementary
school.
What kind of volunteer work did you do in America?
I worked in schools and nursing homes. Also, I helped any of our
neighbors who needed help. There are so many things which you
can do to help people.
Do they pay you for volunteer work?
No, Susan. A volunteer is a person who does work without being
paid for it. We help people in order to show them our love and
kindness. We feel good when we are showing kindness to others.
What can I do?
I have already seen some jobs which are suitable for you at the local
hospital. Let me talk to some of the nurses right now.
Thank you, Mom. I can’t wait to start.

Reading - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Many years ago, people never thought about buying drinking water. But today,
millions of people must buy drinking water because clean water is getting hard to
find. This is just one example of a huge problem. There aren’t enough resources
left — trees, water, oil, fish, animals, or clean air — for our future. If we continue
to waste these natural resources, our life will get much more difficult. One day, we
may even have to pay for the air that we breathe! But it is still not too late. There are
things that we can do to make things better. We can remember the “3R’s” : Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle. Let’s think about what these three words mean.
To reduce means to use less. Here are some simple things that you can do to
reduce waste.
• Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.
• Take a cloth bag when you go shopping so you won’t need to use plastic bags.
To reuse means to use something again. How can you reuse things? Here are
some examples.
• Buy things that you can fill again and again, like refillable pens and refillable
shampoo bottles.
• Use both sides of a sheet of paper before you use a new one.
To recycle means to make something new from used things. Fortunately,
recycling is now a common practice in most parts of the world. Here are some
materials that can be recycled.
• Paper • Glass
• Plastic
• Metal
Please remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle. If
you do this, the quality of life will improve for us and our
children.

Appendix
Grammar
语法
Unit 1
使役动词在句中的应用
使役动词是表示使、令、让、帮、叫等意义的动词，主要有let，have，make，help 等。
这些动词在“主语垣谓语垣宾语垣补语”的句式中，其宾语后的补语通常是不带to 的
动词不定式，即动词原形。
例如：（1）What makes the player keep practicing table tennis?
是什么促使这名运动员坚持乒乓球训练？
（2）The little girl蒺s father had her play table tennis every night.
小女孩的父亲让她每晚打乒乓球。
（3）Let us be proud of her winning the world championship.
让我们为她获得世界冠军感到骄傲吧。
由上述例句可以看出the player, her, us 分别是使役动词的宾语，而不带to 的不定式
keep，play，be 是对宾语的补充说明，称为补语，此种“宾语垣补语”所表达的语义在逻
辑上构成主谓关系。
动词help 其后的宾语补足语（动词不定式）带to 或不带to 都可以。
例如：She will help me（to）wash the dishes.
他将帮我洗盘子。
Unit 2
动词的现在分词与过去分词形式在句中的应用
1. 现在分词
动词原形加-ing 形式除了作动名词外，还可用作现在分词。现在分词作定语，所表
达的内容有“正在”或主动的含义，其用法如下：
（1）现在分词作定语，通常放在所修饰的名词前。
例如：The sleeping boy is Tom.
那个睡觉的男孩是汤姆。
（2）现在分词短语作定语，通常放在所修饰的名词后，相当于一个定语从句。
例如：The boys playing outside make too much noise.
在外面玩的男孩们弄出很大噪音。
2. 过去分词
过去分词作定语，所表达的内容有“已完成的”或被动的含义，其用法如下：
106
（1）过去分词作定语，通常放在所修饰的名词前。
例如：Do not eat too much frozen food.
不要吃太多冷冻食品。
（2）过去分词短语作定语，通常放在所修饰的名词后，相当于一个定语从句。
例如：The tree planted yesterday is a pine.
昨天栽的那棵树是松树。
3. 现在分词和过去分词在词组中作定语的固定表达
waiting room 候车室
running water 自来水
a falling star 流星
spoken language 口语
used paper 废纸
fried eggs 煎鸡蛋
Unit 3
目的状语从句；
表示地点（场所）的介词（from ... to ..., into, over, through）
1. 目的状语从句
目的状语从句指从句部分用以补充说明主句中所述之事要达到的目的。目的状语从句
通常由so that 引导，并且谓语中常含有may, might, can, could, should, would 等情态动词。
例如：Say it louder so that you can be heard by all.
大声说，以便大家都能听到。
I got up early so that I could catch the first bus.
我起得很早，是为了能够赶上头班公共汽车。
2. 表示地点（场所）的介词（from ... to ..., into, over, through）
（1）from ... to ...
意思是“从……到……”，可以表示空间的跨越，也可以表示时间的跨越。
例如：I walk from my house to the park every morning.
我每天早晨从家步行至公园。
I was doing my homework from 6：00 to 9：00 last night.
昨晚六点至九点，我一直在做作业。
（2）into
意思是“到……里”。
例如：The man jumped into the river and disappeared.
那个人跳进河里不见了。
（3）over
意思是“越过”，强调从上方穿过。
例如：The airplanes fly over the river every day.
飞机每天从河上飞过。
（4）through
意思是“穿过”，强调“从……中穿越”。
例如：We walked through the forest.
我们步行穿过森林。
Unit 5
关系代词that 和连词that 的区分
1. 关系代词that 常用来引导定语从句。它指代先行词，同时在从句中作一定的句子成分。
Grammar 107
Appendix
例如：The building that stands by the river is our school.
河边的那座建筑是我们的学校。
本句中building 是先行词，that 指代的就是building，that 在定语从句中又作主语。
例如：She is the a singer（that）I want to see very much.
她就是我很想要见到的歌手。
本句中singer 是先行词，that 在定语从句中作宾语，可以被省略。
2. 连接词that 可用来引出名词性从句。当句子中的宾语从句是陈述语气时用that 引导，
that 在句子中只起连接作用，在从句中不作句子成分。引出宾语从句的that 常可以省略。
例如：I know（that）he has returned.
我知道他已经回来了。
He told us（that）he felt ill.
他对我们说他感到不舒服。
Unit 6
不定式的特殊用法（域）
1. It is + 形容词+ for / of + 人+ 动词不定式
（1）我们在七年级下册的教科书中已经学习了由不定式或不定式短语作主语的句子。
若句子主语太长，通常用it 作句子的形式主语放在句首，将作真正主语的动词
不定式（或不定式短语）放在句子的后部。
例如：It is not easy to learn a foreign language well.
学好一门外语是不容易的。
It is dangerous to play in the street.
在街道上玩耍是很危险的。
（2）带有逻辑主语的动词不定式的复合结构，动词不定式的逻辑主语一般由for 引
出，译为“对……来说”。但句子中若有对人品进行评价的形容词（如：kind,
good, careful, careless, foolish, clever, rude, right, wrong, brave等）出现时，动词不定
式的逻辑主语常由介词of 引出。
例如：It is useful for us to learn English.
对我们来说，学好英语是有用的。
It is kind of you to help her like that.
你那样帮助她真是太好了。
2. enough 与too ... to 的应用区别
（1）enough
表示“足够……去做某事”，一般用“形容词+ enough （for +人）to do”的句式。
此句式也可以与so ... that 互换。
例如：The house is big enough for us to live in.
这房子给我们住足够大了。
The house is so big that we can live in.
这房子真大，我们能住得下。
（2）too ... to
表示“太……而不能”。此句式也可以用so ... that 的句式替代。
例如：He is too young to go to school.
他年纪太小不能去上学。
He is so young that he can蒺t go to school.
他年纪太小不能去上学。
108
Unit 7
it 作先行主语的主语从句；派生构词法（玉）
1. it 作先行主语的主语从句
用作主语的从句叫作主语从句。我们在本单元主要学习由it 作先行主语（句子中的
形式主语）置于句首，而由that 引导的从句作真正主语位于句后的这一类型。主要分为
以下几类：
（1）It + be + 形容词+ that 从句
例如：It is natural that they should have different views.
他们有不同的观点是很正常的。
It蒺s sure that our friends are all over the world.
我们的朋友遍布全世界是肯定的。
（2）It + be + 名词+ that 从句
例如：It蒺s a pity that he can蒺t swim.
真遗憾他不会游泳。
（3）It + 动词的被动语态+ that 从句
例如：It蒺s said that our team has won the first prize.
据说我们队赢得了冠军。
It蒺s reported that there will be a storm tomorrow.
据报道明天将有暴风雨。
2. 派生构词法（玉）

Unit 11
让步状语从句
所谓“让步”，就是表示“虽然”“尽管”“即使”的含义，让步状语从句通常由though，
although，while 等从属连词引导。在大部分情况下，though 或although 作为从属连词有时
可相互交替使用，两个词的含义基本相同。
例如：Though / Although he is busy, he keeps learning a foreign language.
他虽然很忙，但坚持学一门外语。
The engineer didn蒺t stop working, though / although he was very tired.
尽管很累，工程师仍不停地工作。
当从属连词though 引出的从句表示非真实情况时，或though 从句前带有强调词even
时，不可以用although 替代though。
例如：Though everybody is late, I will not.
即使每个人都迟到，我也不会。
Even though it rains tomorrow, we will still go out.
即使明天下雨，我们依然会出去。

Unit 1
Listening .....................................................p.2
Mike: What do you want to do after you
finish school, Zhang Wei?
Zhang Wei: I want to be an actress. But I don蒺t
think I蒺m pretty enough.
Mike: I don蒺t think so. Let me tell you about
an actress who was very short.
Zhang Wei: Who?
Mike: Her name is Helen Hayes. When she
was a young actress, people told her
she was too short.
Zhang Wei: Really? So what did she do, Mike?
Mike: She tried to stand straight and act
tall.
Later,
she
became
a
very
successful actress.
Zhang Wei: Wow. I guess I should change my
attitude. Maybe I can be successful,
too!
Mike: I蒺ll keep my fingers crossed.
Unit 2
Listening ...................................................p.10
Tim: Congratulations, Dandan! You got
the highest score in science.
Wang Dandan: Thanks, Tim. Scienceismyfavorite
subject.
Tim: I think you can be a great scientist
one day.
Wang Dandan: That蒺s nice of you to say so. I really
want to be a scientist like Stephen
Hawking.
Tim: Who is he?
Wang Dandan: He is a British scientist. He has
become one of the most famous
scientists of our time even with
his disability.
Tim: Really? He is very amazing.
Wang Dandan: He sure is. He is studying about
the universe. I have the book about
his studies.
Tim: That sounds interesting. I蒺m dying
to read it.
Wang Dandan: Then, I will lend the book to you
tomorrow.
Tim: Thank you so much.
Unit 3
Listening ...................................................p.18
Liu Chang: What蒺s the matter, Susan?
Susan: I蒺m just
worried
about
my
test
tomorrow, Liu Chang.
Liu Chang: Which class is the test for?
Susan: It蒺s a basketball test for gym class.
I蒺m supposed to make five shots out
of ten tries.
Liu Chang: I thought you were good at basketball.
Susan: Not really. I蒺m not sure if I can do
it.
Liu Chang: Come on! There蒺s nothing you can蒺t
do if you practice hard.
Susan: But the test is tomorrow!
Listening Script 123

Liu Chang: That蒺s all right. We蒺ll go practice now.
Come on!
Susan: Okay.
Unit 5
Listening ...................................................p.32
Mike: Oh, look at that dog, Zhang Wei. It蒺s
playing catch with its owner.
Zhang Wei: Wow!It can hold a whole tennis ball
in its mouth!
Mike: Have you ever heard about the dog
that can hold five tennis balls in its
mouth?
Zhang Wei: Five
tennis
balls ?
That
sounds
impossible, Mike.
Mike: And there is another dog that can
jump 167 centimeters high.
Zhang Wei: I can蒺t believe it.
Mike: I agree. Some animals can do amazing
things. My sister told me about a
dog in Canada that can do over 500
tricks.
Zhang Wei: 500 tricks? There蒺s no such dog!
Mike: Sure
there
is ! She
saw
it
on
television.
Unit 6
Listening ...................................................p.40
Liu Chang: Hey, Amy. Let me show you a magic
trick. Watch this!
Amy: That sounds fun!
Liu Chang: Do you see this coin? Now watch
carefully. Ta dah!
Amy: It蒺s gone! How did you do that? Can
you teach me, Liu Chang?
Liu Chang: Certainly. I蒺ll show you if you don蒺t
tell anyone else.
Amy: I promise.
Liu Chang: It蒺s just a simple trick. To start with,
make sure you have a long sleeve.
Amy: And?
Liu Chang: Then put the coin into your sleeve
quickly. It蒺s quite easy. But you
have to do it quickly.
Amy: Great! I had better practice.
Unit 7
Listening ...................................................p.48
Tim: I蒺ve gained 3 kilograms in one
month! What am I going to do?
Wang Dandan: Have you tried dieting, Tim?
Tim: Yes. But nothing seems to work.
What would you do if you were
in my shoes, Dandan?
Wang Dandan: If I were you, I would drink Oolong
tea.
Tim: Oolong tea? Are you sure that will
help?
Wang Dandan: Yes. Some people drink it to lose
weight.
Tim: I guess millions of people can蒺t
be wrong. Where can I buy some?
Wang Dandan: I know a market not too far from
here.
Tim: Can you take me there?
Wang Dandan: Sure! We can go now if you want.
Unit 9
Listening ...................................................p.62
Liu Chang: What kind of job do you want, Susan?
Susan: I蒺m not really sure. But I蒺m interested
in fashion.
Liu Chang: Then maybe you can be a fashion
designer.
124
Susan: I don蒺t think so, Liu Chang. I蒺m
terrible at drawing. That蒺s why I
can蒺t be a designer.
Liu Chang: I advise you not to think that way.
Many designs are done on computers
these days.
Susan: Yeah. I never really thought about
that. Maybe I could do it then.
Liu Chang: I蒺m sure you can. And you always
dress very nice. You have talent.
Susan: Thanks for your kind words. You are
a good friend.
Liu Chang: Will you give me free clothes when
you become a designer?
Susan: Of course I will.
Unit 10
Listening ...................................................p.70
Tim: Zhang Wei, how do you think we will
pay for things in the future?
Zhang Wei: Well, I read somewhere that we will
use our fingerprints to buy things.
Tim: Really? How can we use them?
Zhang Wei: Asyou know, each person蒺sfingerprint
is special. So your fingerprint will
be like a bankcard.
Tim: So they蒺ll have machines everywhere
that can read our fingerprints?
Zhang Wei: Exactly. We won蒺t have to carry money
around any more.
Tim: That蒺s a great idea!
We won蒺t have
to worry about losing our fingerprints!
Zhang Wei: That蒺s right, Tim. But if you have a
cut on your thumb, you can蒺t buy
anything.
Tim: Yeah, I guess it can be good and bad.
Unit 11
Listening ...................................................p.78
Wang Dandan: Did you read this, Tim? It says
that people might live on the moon
one day.
Tim: Really? Why would anyone want
to live on the moon?
Wang Dandan: I can think of a couple of reasons.
First, there might be too many
people on Earth.
Tim: Yeah. Some cities are already too
crowded.
Wang Dandan: Also, our planet will become too
polluted.
Tim: That would be terrible!
Wang Dandan: I couldn蒺t agree with you more!
Tim: I love the Earth. It蒺s so beautiful.
The moon is just gray.
Wang Dandan: You蒺re right. But I guess we don蒺t
have to worry about this now.
Tim: I don蒺t think so. This is a quite
serious problem.
