(2)完成句子 我们不应该怀疑他解决复杂问题的能力。 We shouldn’t doubt his ability ______________________________. 2. 句型公式：wish＋虚拟语气 教材原句：You don’t want to look back in years to come and say, “I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.” 翻译：______________________________________________________________________. 【分析点拨】 wish后宾语从句常用虚拟语气： (1)表示与现在相反的愿望时，从句谓语动词用过去式(be动词用were)； (2)表示与过去相反的愿望时，从句谓语动词用过去完成时； (3)表示将来实现的可能性不大的愿望时，从句谓语动词用should/would/could/might＋动词原形。 e.g.①I wish I were a bird. I wish I could fly, too. 我希望我是一只鸟，我希望我也能飞。 ②I wish that we could go with my brother when he flies to England next week. 我真希望我哥哥下周飞往英国时我们能和他一起去。 ③I wish you had come to my birthday party.         你要是来了我的生日晚会就好了。 【多维运用】 (1)单句语法填空 ①“I wish I __________ (have) more money for Christmas presents,” the father thought aloud.

(2)同义句转换 ②The book will be very valuable to students of history. →The book will be __________ to students of history. ③The two rooms are the same in size. →The two rooms are ____________________. 5. 句型公式：keep＋宾语＋形容词作宾补 教材原句：Keep the parking area clean, guide new guests to the reception area, etc. 翻译：________________________________________。 【分析点拨】 常用于“动词+宾语+形容词”这种结构的动词有：find, make, set, get, keep, like, see, leave (使处于某种状态), dye, cut, paint, drive, beat, prove。 make it+宾补+宾语make/feel/find/think/consider+it+宾补+宾语（不定式，从句，动词-ing形式）注意：make后接不定式做宾补时，不定式符号to要省略，但当此结构用于被动语态时，不定式符号to要加上。 e.g.①This thought kept me awake all night. 这种顾虑使我通宵未能合眼。 ②I hope you will keep me informed of how you are getting on with your work. 　　我希望你能使我了解你的工作进展如何。 ③I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting outside for so long. 　　实在不好意思，让你在外面等了那么久。 【多维运用】 (1)单句语法填空 ①I keep my private papers __________ (hide).  ②The boss kept them __________ (work) twelve hours a day。  (2)完成句子 长大后，请你自己保持卧室干净整洁。 Please ______________________________ yourself when you are old enough. 6. 句型公式：there is no point (in) doing “做……是没有意义的” 教材原句：Do you agree that there is no point studying something that you like but you are not very good at? 翻译：__________________________________________________？ 【分析点拨】 类似结构的句型还有： There is no doubt that ...　毫无疑问…… There is no need to do sth 没有必要做某事 There is no denying that ... 无可否认…… e.g.①There is no point starting at the top unless you’re a genius. 除非你是天才，不然从最难的部分开始完全没什么意义。 ②There is absolutely no point doing something if you are not having fun doing it. 如果你所做的事情没有乐趣，就完全没有必要做它。 ③We feel that there is no point (in) developing software until you care about doing it well.  我们会感觉到这是毫无疑义的，在你担心你是否能把软件做得够好之前。 【多维运用】 (1)单句语法填空 ①Now that we have finished our work, there is no point __________ (stay) any longer; we may as well go home. ②He is the best student in the school.

B Susan Boyle was once a Scottish church volunteer. She decided to enter a competition named “British got Talent” at the age of 47years. On April 15th 2009, when Susan got up to sing, the audience was shocked by her age and simplicity. Middle-aged women were not the usual type of competitor on the show and the audience was even more surprised when she said before starting to sing that she wanted to become a professional singer. To them she looked well past such possibilities. However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star. It was reported that the audience all stood up and clapped warmly and that within 9 days, 100 million people had watched her performances and interviews on the Internet. This was a lot of progress for an unemployed woman who lived along with her cat. Most of her life had been spent looking after her mother who had died aged 92, two years earlier. She had never been married or in her words, “been kissed”. Susan had learned difficulties and had only once been employed as an assistant cook. Even though Susan did not win the “British got Talent Show” and came up second, two years later, she already released two successful albums. Many people are touched by her story because Susan Boyle is like each of us in one way or another—full of weakness, often disappointed and mocked at by others. However, unlike many of us who usually give up too soon, she had the determination to fight for her dream. Susan Boyle launched her successful music career at the age of 48 and you too can still achieve your dream. Just take courage. 4. What shocked the audience most before Susan started to sing? A. Her experience and figure. B. Her wonderful voice. C. Her age and simplicity. D. Her dream career. 5. What can we learn from the third Paragraph? A. Susan was good at raising the cat. B. Susan was a single woman. C. Susan learned much while attending her mother. D. Susan didn’t like cooking. 6. What does the underlined word “mocked at” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. Laughed at. B. Highly respected. C. Cut off. D. Turned to. 7. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. Failure is the path to success. B. It is never too late to start your dream. C. Entering TV talent show leads to success. D. Some singers succeed late in life. (II) 七选五 Do you need a career launch plan? It isn’t absolutely essential but it can be extremely helpful! A well-created plan is not just about landing a job; it is about entering the professional field with a competitive edge. Beyond that, it’s a strategy. 8 Therefore, a career launch plan is your survival guide, helping you avoid the traps and seize the right opportunities. So why not follow the following tips to create a right career launch plan? 9 If you were to plan out your travel routes, what would you do? You’re not just randomly moving; you’re intentional about where you want to go and what you want to achieve. So is a career plan. It involves outlining specific and achievable goals that give direction to your career trajectory (轨迹). Develop relevant skills.

She decided to enter a competition named “British got Talent” at the age of 47years. On April 15th 2009, when Susan got up to sing, the audience was shocked by her age and simplicity. Middle-aged women were not the usual type of competitor on the show and the audience was even more surprised when she said before starting to sing that she wanted to become a professional singer. To them she looked well past such possibilities. However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star. It was reported that the audience all stood up and clapped warmly and that within 9 days, 100 million people had watched her performances and interviews on the Internet. This was a lot of progress for an unemployed woman who lived along with her cat. Most of her life had been spent looking after her mother who had died aged 92, two years earlier. She had never been married or in her words, “been kissed”. Susan had learned difficulties and had only once been employed as an assistant cook. Even though Susan did not win the “British got Talent Show” and came up second, two years later, she already released two successful albums. Many people are touched by her story because Susan Boyle is like each of us in one way or another—full of weakness, often disappointed and mocked at by others. However, unlike many of us who usually give up too soon, she had the determination to fight for her dream. Susan Boyle launched her successful music career at the age of 48 and you too can still achieve your dream. Just take courage. 4. What shocked the audience most before Susan started to sing? A. Her experience and figure. B. Her wonderful voice. C. Her age and simplicity. D. Her dream career. 5. What can we learn from the third Paragraph? A. Susan was good at raising the cat. B. Susan was a single woman. C. Susan learned much while attending her mother. D. Susan didn’t like cooking. 6. What does the underlined word “mocked at” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. Laughed at. B. Highly respected. C. Cut off. D. Turned to. 7. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. Failure is the path to success. B. It is never too late to start your dream. C. Entering TV talent show leads to success. D. Some singers succeed late in life. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】试题分析：文章介绍了英国才能秀的第二名Susan在48岁的时候登上舞台，实现个人梦想。鼓励我们不要考虑年龄，要勇敢追求自己的梦想。 4. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star.可知她让观众们惊讶的是她美丽的嗓音以及她想成为歌星的梦想。故D项正确。 5. B 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句She had never been married or in her words, “been kissed”.可知他从未恋爱故也从来没有结过婚。所以她仍然是单身。故B项正确。 6.

B 主旨大意题。文章介绍了英国才能秀的第二名Susan在48岁的时候登上舞台，实现个人梦想。根据文章最后两句Susan Boyle launched her successful music career at the age of 48 and you too can still achieve your dream. Just take courage.可知作者写这篇文章正是为了鼓励我们不要考虑年龄，要勇敢追求自己的梦想。故B项正确。 (II) 七选五 Do you need a career launch plan? It isn’t absolutely essential but it can be extremely helpful!
