李小龙的九大世界记录:2009年人教版高考英语高一重点及]难点归纳总结6

来源:百度文库 编辑:中财网 时间:2024/05/06 13:03:08

简析:答案为C。本题主要考察冠词的用法。in use 是习惯用法,use 前不加冠词;在序数词(thirteen)前面要加定冠词。因此要选C。

例:8. The result of the experiment was very good, _____ we hadn't expected.  (全国高考题)

    A. when    B. that    C. which    D. what

简析:答案为C。此处为非限定性定语从句,排除D( what 不能引导定语从句)和B( that 不能引导非限制性定语从句)。因为关系词在从句中要做动词( expected )的宾语,因此要用关系代词 which,排除关系副词when。

例:10. John said he'd been working in the office for an hour, _____ was true. (高考题)

    A. he    B. this    C. which    D. Who

简析:答案为C。这里是考查非限制性定语从句。需要用关系词,排除A和B。先行词代表前面整个句子所说的内容,因此关系词要用 which,而不能用表人的 who。

四、易混易错词语辨析

1.辨析 go on with,go on to do 和 go on doing:

三个词都有“继续”之意,go on to do 意为“继续做另一件事”,go on with 和 go on doing 意为“继续做同一件事”;但 go on with 有时强调做同一件事时中间有间隔和停顿。还有“发生,(时间)流逝”等意义。如:

What is going on out there? 外面那里发生什么事?

As time went on, things began to change. 随着时间的流逝,情况开始发生变化。

2.辨析Dark 和 darkness:

(1)两词均可表“黑暗”,“夜色”之意,但 dark 通常指较长时间的情况,且常与 the 连用,darkness 则指暂时的情况,不常与 the 连用。如:

Cats can see in the dark. 猫能在黑暗中看见东西。

The room was in complete darkness. 室内一片漆黑。

(2)作“傍晚”讲时,应用 dark,且前面通常不加 the,此时,不可用 darkness 替换。如:

before / after / at dark 在天黑以前/天黑以后/天黑时。

3.辨析 discover 和 invent:

前者表示“发现”,即发现本来存在但未知晓的事物(常指地方或科学事实);后者表示“发明”,即“产生原来没有的东西”,如:

Gillbert discovered electricity, but Edison invented the light bulb. 吉尔伯发现了电,而爱迪生发明了灯泡。

 

Unit17 Famous women

一、课文背景知识

本单元的话题是世界杰出女性

居里夫人(1877-1934)

原子能时代的开创者之一,世界上第一个两次诺贝尔奖获得者,二十世纪最有声望的女人—居里夫人。

癌,这个吞噬人们生命的怪物,在人类历史的长河中,曾几何时奔荡不羁,象战争的罪犯,给人们留下痛苦和死亡。人们无时无刻不在寻找同它斗争的武器。可是,一个世纪又一个世纪地过去了,直到二十世纪初,波兰伟大的科学家玛丽.居里——斯克洛道夫斯卡和她的丈夫埃尔.居里发现了一个新的放射性元素——镭。它可以破坏被病毒侵蚀了的细胞,然后构成新的、健康的细胞组织。这样,镭就成了治癌的有利武器。

居里夫人历经磨难,但意志坚强,且鄙视名利。她光辉的一生足以照亮她所生活的那个时代。她给我们以深刻的教益和启迪。一次,有一位报社记者前来采访这位科学家,想把她的事迹报道出去。她坚定地回答:“在科学上重要的是研究出来的‘东西’,不是研究者的‘个人’。她还说,”人必须有耐心,特别是要有信心”,我们应该相信,自己对于某种事业有特殊的才干,并且应该不惜任何代价来完成这个事业。”

有名的学者爱因斯坦曾经这样评价居里夫人:“在我所认识的所有著名人物里面,居里夫人是唯一不为盛名所颠倒的人。”

Mother Teresa(1990-1997)

一位天使英雄(angel hero),一生为普通民众行善的修女,有一段评价为证——“on September5, 1997, late in the evening around 9:30 p.m., Mother Teresa goes to Heaven in the Mother house in Calcutta. Totally finished and worn out, as she had given herself totally, wholeheartedly, freely and unconditionally to the poorest of the poor, for the love of jesus."”

Helen Thayer

著名的探险家和作家(Adventurer and author),第一位独立到北极,和撒哈拉沙漠的女性(first solo woman to make the North Pole trekking, the first woman to walk across the Sahara Desert)。

Thayer 有很多精彩的话语,既反映了他的真实心态,也激励着千万人不畏艰难挑战人生。这里仅列举几则——”push on even when it seems impossible." ," A goal is only a dream if you don't have a plan." ;"  My journey was like life itself," " We all have our problems as we traver to our goals, but we cai all reach our goals just as I did, one step at a time, never giving up on ourselves. If we reach for the top and believe we can do it, we can all make our dreams come true."; "Age is no barrier to your dreams and goals," ;"We regard our bodies as finely tuned machines that have to be maintained," "Once people start thinking they're over the hill, they are." ;" I like to see what's on the other side of the hill." 。

Oprah Winfrey

美国著名电视节目主持人( a successful TV personality,entertainment executive ),她出身黑人家庭,但事业卓群,她的娱乐节目有极高的艺术性,也富有浓郁的人情味,因而被誉为“荧屏常青树”,获得系列殊荣,“Oprah Winfrey was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th century by Time Magazine,and in 1998 received a lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences。

When Forbes magazine published its list of America'a billionaires for the year 2003, it disclosed that Oprah Winfrey was the first African-American woman to become a billionaire.
