A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISEThe twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge(粥). They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove(炉) burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid(盖子) starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.注意:续写词数应为150左右。

高考英语复习语法知识专题讲解15---名词性从句(解析版)
高考英语复习语法知识专题讲解专题十专题十五五 名词性从名词性从句句名词性从句的句法功能相当于名词词组,在句中充当主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等。
因此名词性从句又分为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
类别功 能 引 导 词 从属连词只起连接作用,不充当句子成分 that, whether, if 连接代词 起连接作用,并充当主语、宾语、表语或定语 who, whom, whose, which, what, whatever, whichever,whoever连接副词 起连接作用,并充当从句状语when, where, how, why 一、主语从句的易错点主语从句的一般结构主语从句+谓语动词+其他 How the book will sell depends on its author. That he is the best student in the class is obvious.it 作形式 主语时的主语从句 It+be/becomes/became+形容词/名词/过去分词+主语从句 It is still a question whether she will come or not. It became clear that Mary did make a mistake. It seems/ appears/ happens 等动词+that 从句 It seems strange that he should have done a thing like that. It happens that he can understand a little about thelanguage. It remains to be+过去分词+主语从句It remains to be seen who will be the victor in the contest.It doesn't matter +how/whether 从句 It doesn't matter whether he is wrong or not.It doesn't matter much whether we go together orseparately.用来表示惊奇、怀疑、惋惜、理应如此等语气时,主语从句谓语动词用(should) do 形式 It is necessary /important / natural /strange 等+that 从句It is necessary that one(should)obey the law.It is suggested /requested /proposed/desired 等+that 从句It is suggested that you (should) attend the openingceremony.二、宾语从句的易错点动词后的宾语从句主语+及物动词+宾语从句I know that he is an honest boy.Can you tell me how I can get to the zoo?I wonder if/whether you have told the news to Li Lei.They asked what Jean was doing now.Do you know who has won Red.Alert game?feel, think, find, consider, make等,常用it作形式宾语,宾语从句后置I find it important that.we should keep calm in danger.You may think it strange that he would live there.I feel it a pity that I haven't been to the get-together.I have made it a rule that I keep diaries.like, dislike, love, hate, enjoy,appreciate等不能直接跟宾语从句,必须用it作形式宾语,后接宾语从句I like it that everyone passed the exam.I hate it when they talk with their mouths full of food.think, believe, suppose, 等词后的宾语从句若是否定的,否定词要转移到主句的谓语动词上I don't think your answers are right.I don't believe that man is killed by Jim, is he?介词后的宾语从句介词后可接宾语从句,但连接词whether 不可换作ifHe often thinks of how he can make his class lively.She worries about whether she's really good enough.非谓语动词之后的宾语从句不定式、v.-ing形式、过去分词后也可以接宾语从句I'd just tried to do what I could for you.I suggest eating what is fresh.宾语从句中的时态主句谓语动词为一般现在时,从句时态根据实际情况而定Do you know when the ancient games began?主句谓语动词是一般过去时,从句的时态一般用适当的过去时态He asked me if I was reading the textbook when he wasin.当宾语从句为客观真理和规律时,则用一般现在时He said that light travels faster than sound.whether与if 引导宾语从句的区别与 or not 连用时,只用 whether I want to know whether or not the train goes to KingStreet."whether+不定式”结构作宾语,相当于一个宾语从句;if无此用法I don't know whether to go there.介词后面的宾语从句中只用whetherI'm not interested in whether he has a lot of money.if引导的条件句中,如果再有表示“是否”的引导词引导宾语从句时,只用 whetherHe asked me whether I'd move to Beijing if I got the job.doubt 在肯定句中,接whether 和if引导的宾语从句;但在否定句中,只用 thatWe don't doubt that he is a brave man.I doubt whether/if Jack could manage a sailing boat.三、表语从句的易错点表语从句常位于连系动词be, look, remain, seem等之后,其连接词还有as if/though,because等主语+系动词+表语从句The trouble is that we are short of money.He looked just as he had looked ten years before. The question is whether they will be able to help us. The problem is who we can get to replace her.I think it is because you are doing too much.The question is which of us should go.because 引导表语从句强调原因,why引导表语从句强调结果It's because you're careless.That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields.the reason why 从句+be + that 从句The reason why he was absent was that he was ill.what 从句+be+that从句What comforted the young mother was that the babycame to life.It looks/seems as if/though 从句It looks as if it is going to rain.At that time, it seemed as if I couldn't think of the right word anyhow.主句主语是advice, demand, suggestion, order,requirement, idea, request,command等时,表语My advice is that you(should)quit smoking.从句用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用(should)do 形式My suggestion is that we(should)start early tomorrow. Our only request is that this(should)be settled as soon as possible.四、名词性从句其他易错点that与what 在名词性从句中的区别what 充当成分,意为...的事物不可省略;that 不作任何成分,只起连接作用,也无实际意义,有时可以省略I only knew(that)he was studying in a western country,butI didn't know what country he was in.What you need is more practice.That you will win the medal seems unlikely.名词性从句已有疑问引导词时,不再用thatI don't understand what you said just now.(understand 后不再用 that)2021高考英语语法高考英语语法【【名词性从句名词性从句】】易错点对点训练30题I.高考真题诊断·单句语法填空1.Every year, makes the most beautiful kite will win a prize in the Kite Festival.2.She asked me I had returned the books to the library, and I admitted that I hadn't.3.The manager put forward a suggestion we should have an assistant.

We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.After trying for many times we got a response W2 from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father's dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back P, but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down.S Suddenly we had something more important than our_problem to worry about.

专题十五主旨大意Passage 1(2014湖北,B)体裁:议论文词数:381London s newest skyscraper(摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren t regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty,but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and offices.Before building work began,a lot of people didn t want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flatsurfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don t like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensiveprivate apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.1.London s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of .A.its sizeB.its costC.its shapeD.its height2.When he designed the Shard,Piano wanted it to .A.change London s skylineB.inherit London s traditionC.imitate the Egyptian styleD.attract potential visitors3.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard .A.is only preferred by the richB.is far away from the poor areaC.is intended for wealthy peopleD.is popular only with Londoners4.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.The Shard:Cheers and ClapsB.The Shard:Work of a Great ArchitectC.The Shard:New Symbol of London?D.The Shard:A Change for the Better?答案[语篇解读] 本文为议论文。
