语法
感叹句
感叹句是表达喜、怒、哀、乐以及惊奇、惊讶等强烈感情的句子。

感叹句通常由 what 或 how 引导。

"what"和"how"与所修饰的词置于句首，其它部分用陈述句语序。

一、由"what"引导的感叹句："what"意为"多么"用作定语，修饰名词（被强调部分），单数可数名词前要加不定冠词a/an,复数可数名词或不可数名词前不用冠词。

这类句子的结构形式是： what+(a/an)+adj.+n.+主语+谓语.
如：① What a clever girl she is! 多么聪明的姑娘呀！
② What an interesting story it is! 多么有趣的故事呀！
③ What good children they are! 他们是多么好的孩子呀！
④What delicious food it is! 多么有味的食物呀！
二、由"how"引导的感叹句："how"意为"多么"，用作状语，修饰形容词或副词（被强调部分）。

如果修饰形容词，则句中的谓语动词用系动词；如果how修饰副词，则句中的谓语动词用行为动词，这类句子的结构形式是：How+adj.（adv.）+主语+谓语.
如：① How cold it is today! 今天多么冷呀！
② How nice the pictures are! 多么漂亮的图画呀！
③ How happy they look! 他们显得多么高兴呀！
可用句型：“ How ＋形容词＋ a/an ＋可数名词单数＋主语＋谓语！”。

如：
How beautiful a girl she is! 她是个多么漂亮的姑娘啊！
可用句型：“ How ＋主语＋谓语！”。

如：
How time flies! 光阴似箭！
三、由 what 引导的感叹句与由 how 引导的感叹句有时可以转换，但句中部分单词的顺序要有所变化。

如：
How beautiful a girl she is! ＝ What a beautiful girl she is!
What delicious cakes these are! ＝ How delicious these cakes are!
四、感叹句在表示激动强烈的感情时，口语中常常采用省略句，其后面的主语和谓语往往略去不讲。

五、如：① What a fine day! 多么晴朗的天呀！
六、②How wonderful! 精彩极了！

宾语从句
一. 宾语从句的种类
宾语从句是一种名词性从句，在句中作及物动词的宾语，或介词的宾语，或
形容词的宾语。

根据引导词的不同，宾语从句可分为三类。

1. 由that引导的宾语从句。

That只有语法作用，没有实在的意义，在口语
和非正式文体中可以省略。

例如：
He said (that) he wanted to stay at home.
She doesn’t know (that) she is seriously ill.
I am sure (that) he will succeed.
2.由if或whether引导的宾语从句。

If和whether在句中的意思是“是否”。

if、whether 一般情况下可以互换，但在构成whether…or not 句式只用whether例如：
I want to know if (whether) he lives there.
He asked me whether (if) I could help him.
二. 宾语从句的语序
宾语从句的语序应为陈述句的语序。

例如：
I hear (that) physics isn’t easy. Can you tell me how I can get to zoo?
Please tell me when we’ll have the meeting.
I don’t know ________(是否) he will come to my party or not.
变为陈述句语序：
Is she a worker
Will they do it
Can you answer this question
Are there any pens on the desk
Do you speak English
Does he play football
What are you doing
Why are you so late
Where do you live How old are you
What does she like best
What’s wrong with Kate
三. 宾语从句的时态
1. 如果主句的时态是一般现在时，宾语从句该用什麽时态就用什麽时态。

如：
I don’t think (that) you are right.
Please tell us what they bought in the mall yesterday.
Can you tell me how I can get to the railway station?
2. 如果主句的时态是一般过去时，宾语从句只能用相应的过去时态（一般过去时，过去进行时，过去将来时，过去完成时）。

例如：
He asked what time it was.
He told me that he was preparing for the sports meet.
He asked if you had written to Peter.
He said that he would go back to the U.S. soon.
3. 如果宾语从句所陈述的是客观真理，其时态常用一般现在时。

例如：
Our teacher said that January is the first month of the year.
Scientists have proved that the earth turns around the sun.
How are you

One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.
A few months ago, I was telling my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.
One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead, now she was still watching over us and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding invisibly (看不见地) on the back of a butterfly (蝴蝶). Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.
Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mom, send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.
Everyone is always looking for some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.

Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.
Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer (谷歌认证开发者) now. Google even tried to offer him a job last year when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn’t old enough.

After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided.

“Did you go skating a lot last year” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball
as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We
were so busy that we didn’t not ice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.
“Thanks for cheering Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.’’ A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.

五. 任务型阅读（10分）
When I was 5 years old, I went to the USA with my mom. I can still remember the first Halloween holiday I had in the USA.
On the morning of Halloween, we paid a visit to a pumpkin farm. Each of us brought a pumpkin to school with us. I used the pumpkin to make a lantern which had two triangle eyes and a scary mouth.
In the afternoon, we put on the Halloween costumes and went on parade in school. Some of the costumes were nice, but some of them looked scary. I chose to wear a suit of Superman’s clothes.
I did a lot of things that day, but the part I liked best was “trick or treat” in the evening. After dinner, I went outside with an empty bag. I hoped to get a lot of candies from people. At first, I was a bit nervous, so when I knocked at the door, my heart was beating very fast. A lady came out, and I said carefully to her, “Trick or treat.” My voice was very low, and even myself could hardly hear it. To my surprise, the lady was so kind to give me two candy bars, and I was so excited, thanked the lady and moved on. I couldn’t remember how many houses I visited, but I could remember how many candies I got—I got 91 pieces of candy that day, and I was so proud of myself.
What a happy Halloween I had! And I wish we could have a Halloween every month!
