Everyone knows that we are busy all day. Seldom do we know what is happening both at home and abroad, let alone what we can do for our country. By reading newspapers we can get more information about the world outside. So I think “Friday News Hour” can broaden our mind and enrich our school life. What‘s more, it will help us improve our reading skills. As for my suggestion, I think it’s better to have it twice a week. And we should make a choice about what we‘ll read. I am sure everyone will benefit a lot from this activity. 考 點 探 究 互動探究·能力備考 Ⅰ.詞匯短語過關(guān) 1．desire v. 期望 n．欲望，希望，請求 desirable adj. 值得擁有的，可取的，有利的 have no desire for sth. 對……沒有欲望 have a strong desire to do sth.迫切想做某事 do sth. at sb.’s desire應(yīng)……的要求做某事 satisfy one‘s desires 滿足某人的欲望/愿望 desire for sth. 渴望得到…… desire to do/sb. to do sth. 迫切希望做/某人做某事 desire＋that＋主語＋(should＋)動詞原形(虛擬語氣) It is desirable that＋主語＋(should＋)動詞原形 ……是可取的。 [即學即練1](1)They _________________ to learn a second language.他們不想學另一種語言。 (2)I __________________ to a famous university. 我很想上一所名牌大學。 have no desire　 desire to go　 (3)Most people ____________ a lot of knowledge. 大多數(shù)人渴求更多的知識。 (4)The couple ____________ their son ____________ to a famous university.那對夫妻迫切地希望他們的兒子能上名牌大學。 desire for　 desired to go (5)The group leader desired that we ____________ it right away.那個組長迫切希望我們現(xiàn)在就開始做那件事。 (should) do 2．a(chǎn)larm n．警報；驚恐 vt.使警覺；使驚恐；驚動 give/raise/sound the alarm發(fā)警報 take(the) alarm at... 對……感到吃驚；因……而驚恐 be alarmed at/for...被……嚇一跳 [即學即練2](1)He __________________ when the robber came in.搶劫犯一進門他就報了警。 (2)I hope you didn’t __________________ the news. 我希望你沒有因為聽到那個消息而驚慌。 sounded the alarm　 take alarm at (3)The noise of the shot ______________ hundreds of birds. 槍聲驚動了千百只鳥。 alarmed 3．sympathy n．同情，同情心；贊同，支持 have/feel sympathy for sb./sth.對某人/某物表示同情 get sympathy from sb.獲得某人的同情 out of sympathy出于同情 (have) sympathy with/for...贊同(支持)…… in sympathy with sb./sth.支持某人/某事 [即學即練3](1)It is his own fault, so he’ll ___________ ____________________ me. 這是他自己的錯，所以我不會去同情他。 (2)We all ________________________ the victims of the Wenchuan Earthquake. 我們所有人對汶川大地震的遇難者都深表同情。 get no sympathy from 　have great sympathy for　 (3)Do you ________________________ his point of view？你同意他的觀點嗎？ (4)I’m __________________ you on that point. 在那一點上，我同意你的看法。 have any sympathy with in sympathy with 4．favour (＝favor) n．喜愛；恩惠，幫忙；優(yōu)惠vt.喜愛；偏袒 ask a favor of sb.求人幫一個忙，求人做某事 do a favor for sb.幫某人一個忙，給某人做件事 be in(out of) favor(with)受寵(失寵)，得到(不受)偏愛 in favor of贊成，主張 in one’s favor對某人有利 [即學即練4](1)May I ________________________ you？請您幫個忙行嗎？ (2)Was he __________________ the death penalty? 他贊成死刑嗎？ (3)_______________________ and turn the radio down while I’m on the phone, will you? 勞駕，我在打電話時把收音機的聲音調(diào)小點好嗎？ ask a favor of in favor of Do me a favor 5．a(chǎn)ccompany vt. 陪伴；伴奏 accompany sth. with/by sth. 與……同時存在或發(fā)生 accompany sb. at/on sth. 用……給某人伴奏 accompany sb. to do sth. 陪某人去做某事 accompany sb. to... 陪某人到…… be accompanied by...由……伴奏 [即學即練5](1)Strong winds _____________________ heavy rain.狂風夾著暴雨。 (2)Children under 14 must __________________ an adult.14歲以下的兒童必須有成人陪伴。 (3)I will _____________ Professor Li ___________ the station. 我要送李教授去車站。 were accompanied by be accompained by accompany to 6．declare v. 表明；聲明；宣布；宣告；宣稱 declare sth. 宣布某事 declare sb./sth.

A．/; the B．the; the C．a(chǎn); / D．a(chǎn); the 答案：D 解析：考查冠詞。語意為“在中國，為了向老年人表示尊敬，每年有一天被定為敬老日”。day為可數(shù)名詞，在此表示泛指，故其前用a修飾；elders前加the表示老年人。 2．It’s unnatural for a mother to leave her child ______ to enjoy herself. A．a(chǎn)lone B．behind C．out D．off 答案：A 解析：leave...alone表示“丟下……不管”，是一個固定短語。 3．The accident happened on such an evening with strong winds ______ by heavy rain.

A．be given B．will be given C．should give D．is given 答案：A 解析：desire賓語從句中用“should＋動詞原形”，其中 should 可以省略。因為 help和 give 之間是被動關(guān)系，故C錯誤。 7．Young people should concern themselves with state ______.

A．who B．which C．that D．whom 答案：D 解析：考查定語從句。先行詞是人，又是非限制性定語從句，排除B、C兩項。關(guān)系代詞作介詞of的賓語，所以選whom。 13．(2010·上海春招)The employees ______ that they should renew their contracts within a week. A．a(chǎn)dvise B．have advised C．a(chǎn)re advised D．had been advised 答案：C 解析：考查動詞的語態(tài)。語意：(公司)建議員工在一周內(nèi)簽合同。根據(jù)題意。The employees與advise為動賓關(guān)系，所以應(yīng)該用被動結(jié)構(gòu)，故選C項。 14．The old woman ______ her sons and daughters ______ and see her from time to time. A．suggested; to come B．hoped; to come C．desired; coming D．desired; to come 答案：D 解析：考查 desire sb. to do sth. 希望某人做某事。suggest 和 hope 都不能搭配 sb. to do sth. 結(jié)構(gòu)。 15．He hurried to the booking office only ______ that all the tickets had been sold out. A．to be told B．to tell C．told D．telling 答案：A 解析：“only＋不定式”做結(jié)果狀語，表示動作的結(jié)果，該結(jié)果常常出乎意料。根據(jù)句意可判斷出 he是 tell的動作被執(zhí)行者，所以要用不定式的被動式，表示被告知。 Ⅲ .閱讀理解 A What is an animal? For many people, an animal has four legs, a head at the front and a tail at the back. There are, in fact, many different kinds of animals. Some are so small that you cannot see them with human eyes. Some have no head, no mouth and no legs. Some live in the ocean. Some can't fly. They come in thousands of different shapes, sizes and colors. One of the largest groups of animals is the insect group. These animals have six parts to their bodies. Many insects cause human problems. Some carry diseases. Others are a problem because they eat the food that farmers grow. But there are insects, like bees and butterflies, which we need because they help flowers and fruit to grow. Like many of the insects, birds have wings and can fly. There are many different types of birds. Some eat fish and are happy living near rivers or the ocean. Others like to live in the countryside or near towns in flocks of many hundreds and mostly eat insects, and there are birds, like the mountain eagles, which eat meat with their strong sharp beaks. They also have sharp claws on their feet, which are perfect for hunting and killing. Like birds, mammals are warm－blooded, and just as all birds have feathers, all mammals have hair on their bodies. Sometimes you can hardly see the hair. Sometimes the hair is very thick, and then it is called fur. There are several different groups of mammals. There are the cats, which include lions and tigers; there are animals with large front teeth, which include mice and rats; there are the sea mammals, which include the whale, the largest animal in the world. Then there are animals which have two arms and can walk on two legs like monkeys and, of course, humans. Fish and reptiles are cold－blooded animals. Fish live in the ocean, but reptiles usually live on the land. Reptiles are probably the least popular animals. They include the long thin snakes that many people are afraid of. However, some people keep snakes in their homes as pets. 1．According to the passage, an animal ______. A．has four legs, a head at the front and a tail at the back B．is a living thing which is quite strong to humans C．is so small that people can't see it with human eyes D．may come in a different shape, size and color 答案及解析： 1．D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知動物大小各異，顏色各異。 2．Why are insects commonly considered to be harmful? A．They are among the largest groups of animals. B．They all have six legs and three parts to their bodies. C．Many of them bring trouble like disease to humans. D．They help flowers and fruit to grow every year. 答案及解析： 2．C。事實細節(jié)題。從第二段Many insects cause human problems.可知，許多昆蟲會給人類帶來麻煩，或傳染疾病或破壞糧食。 3．
