经典句型背诵仿写
1. 时间名词+see +其他
背诵The next few years saw a series of bad harvests. 接下来的几年里发生了连年的粮食欠收。

说明：这是一种拟人化的写作手法，以增加句子的表现力。

see意为“(在某段时期或某地)发生，经历，经
受”。

仿写翻译句子。

(1) 五世纪见证了西方罗马帝国的灭亡。

The 5th century saw the end of the Roman Empire in the West.
(2) 这个城市在过去的十年间经历了多次的变革。

The city has seen many changes in the last ten years.
2. only位于句首，修饰状语，句子运用倒装
背诵Only then did she realize he had made mistakes. 直到那时她才意识到她所犯的错误。

说明：当“only＋副词、介词短语或状语从句”放在句首时，句子要用部分倒装语序。

only修饰主语、宾语则不倒装。

仿写根据汉语意思完成句子。

(1)Only then did I realize I was wrong. (只到那时我才意识到我错了。

)
(2)Only by this means can you make greater progress in your work. (只有这样你才能在工作中取得更大的进步。

--你本应该提前一小时出家门。

联想
情态动词+have done的用法小结：
must+have done 表示对过去情况的推测，只用于肯定句，意为“一定……”，其否定的意义用can’t+have done。

could+have done本来有能力做而实际上没有做。

needn’t+have done本来不必做的事，实际上做过了。

may (might)+have done表示对过去的推测，多用于陈述句，意为“可能……”。

用 might 比用 may 语气更加委婉。

would+have done 用于虚拟条件句中，表示与过去事实相反。

仿写根据汉语意思完成句子。

(1)He ought not to have taken (本不该把旧衣服带走)the old clothes away.
(2)The street is wet. It must have rained (肯定下雨)last night. 路面是湿的，昨天晚上了。

(3)If I could have stopped (能够停下来), there wouldn’t have been an accident. 如果我，事故就不会发生了。

(4)I needn’t have gone(本没必要去) to the office yesterday. 昨天我办公室。

二、完形填空
技巧点拨
解题技巧和方法（3）
复读全文，瞻前顾后，全面验证。

各题填好后，为使短文得以恢复本来面貌，再将全文复读一遍，复读要着于全篇，仔细推敲、全面验证。

看填入答案后全文是否意思通顺，结构完整；看是不是有相互矛盾的地方。

在前两遍的基础上，已对短文有了较充分的理解，所以阅读第三遍视野较前将更开阔，思路更清晰，也就更容易发现错误，从而及时作出调整或修正。

因此，第三步的复读尤为重要。

可以说，不复查、不读第三遍就等于放弃了纠正错误的机会。

上述三步解题之法可概括为：
一步粗读寻思路，
二步细读选答案，
三步复读纠错误，
若能沉着照此办，
胸有成竹少失误。

当然，答题技巧与方法固然重要，毕竟没有“万能钥匙”，要熟练地驾驭此题，关键还在于巩固基础知识，提高阅读能力，并不懈地在实践中提高综合运用英语知识的能力。

注意事项
1.切忌题目一到手就逐字逐句地往下填，而不首先去了解全文的意思。

2.在做完形填空的词汇或语法题目时，要注意它不同于单项选择题，必须遵循这样一个原则，即不能孤立地就词论词、就句论句地去推测、判断，而必须根据上下文，从整体的观点入手，尤其当所给的选项是同义词时，更要善于从字里行间、前后词语搭配寻找有关线索。

Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 7 once before? Do you often tell 8 “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?

三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite (花岗岩) wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground. The fearless girl is only 10, but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.
Last week, Kane won a bronze in the 11-and-younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National
Championships in Atlanta. She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or top-flight facilities in which to train. Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil. The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020. “I’m already training for that,” said Kane. “Climbing is my passion, my love, and I want to make something of it.”
Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can’t keep up with her. “It’s the freedom to let loose,” she said. “When I’m up there, I’m so focused and don’t hear anything. I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”
The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November’s International Championships in Ecuador. That’s a trip she might have to miss because it’s too expensive.
Kane held a backyard music concert--she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs---and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta. She’s also been sponsored by a shoe company, but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.
Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do whatever we need to help her achieve her goals”. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is finding balance in her life. There’s school, her music and church to fit around climbing.
“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue,” Grace said. “But it doesn’t bother me. It’s like playing the piano; you can’t take a break or you’ll lose your touch.”
1. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Rock climbing gains popularity
B. Grace Kane likes challenges
C. A young climber follows her dream
D. An amazing victory for a young rock climber
2. We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ______.
A. is not an exhibition at the Olympics now
B. is an official event at the Olympics now
C. is not open to children
D. will gain full status in 2020
3. Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?
A. She is only interested in rock climbing.
B. She is a girl with many talents.
C. Rock climbing has affected her study.
D. She has won gold medals in several matches.
4. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is to ______.
A. find a capable coach for her
B. get qualified for the USA team
C. raise enough money for International competitions
D. keep balance between rock climbing and other activities
5. What do we know about Grace Kane’s parents?
A. They are quite concerned about her studies.
B. They regretted allowing her to try rock climbing.
C. They will fully support their daughter’s pursuit.
D. They can fully afford her expenses in her competitions.

本文介绍了一个十岁的攀岩女孩，为了自己的爱好和梦想在奋斗。

第二节读写任务
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

I have a friend Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场) in San Ysidro. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
The next day he handed it in to the teacher. On the front was a large red F. The boy with the dream asked, “Why did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a y oung boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant（四处奔波的）family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.”
He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch for a week. When the teacher w as leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough belief not to give up on yours.” [写作内容]
