2.延续性动词和非延续性动词。

如:learn, work, stand, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live 等。
这一类动词常与表示一段时间的时间词连用。
e.g. 我学习英语已经 8 年了。
I have learnt English for eight years.
2. 非延续性动词的用法
非延续性动词表示的动作不能延续, 即动作发生立即结束。如:leave, start, set out, arrive, reach, get to, begin, stop, shut, turn off, marry, put, put on, get up, wake, fall, join, finish, end, become, come, go, die, close, open, break, give, jump, buy, borrow 等。
(1) 非延续性动词不能和表示一段时间的状语连用 (since/for+时间段)。如:
他死了三年了。误:He has died for three years.
die 为非延续性动词, 不能与表示一段时间的状语 for three years 连用。
如果要与时间段连用, 需要把非延续性动词变为延续性动词。
如:He died three years ago. → He has been dead for three years.
其他动词变形方法如下

close

Who would win in a competition to remember numbers, a chimp (猩猩) or a teenager? In fact, scientists proved that the chimp did better than the teenager in this competition.
Do you still remember last year’s summer holiday? When you think back on it, you might think of the night that you spent watching the concert of Langlang. But how do you store these things in your mind? By using your memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. When something happens, our brains save the important information and put it in our memory.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory—short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. Long-term memory means the meaningful information you try hard to keep in your mind. People start to forget things just after they learn them. They learn about something one day, but have forgotten half of it the next day. A week later, they remember just a third of what they learnt. So remember to go over your lesson after you learn it.
Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it. But one thing is for sure, if you remember things with different ways together, you can get a better result. So try imaging pictures with English words, and at the same time listening to recordings of the same words. Maybe studying English won’t be a difficult thing.
1.Who won in the competition to remember numbers?
A.The teenager. B.The chimp. C.The scientist. D.Langlang.
2.What does the underlined word “store” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Save. B.Make. C.Put. D.Learn.
3.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this article?
A.To introduce some different types of memory.
B.To tell that learning English is not so difficult.
C.To tell us some interesting facts about memory.
D.To tell us the chimps are cleverer than humans.
4.In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?
A.Fashion. B.Sports. C.Science. D.Stories.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们一些关于记忆的有趣事实。
1.细节理解题。根据“In fact, scientists proved that the chimp did better than the teenager in this competition”可知,科学家们证明了猩猩在记数比赛中会获胜。故选B。
2.词义猜测题。根据“But how do you store these things in your mind? By using your memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed.”可知,我们通过记忆把东西储存在头脑中,结合选项,可猜测store与save“保存”同义。故选A。
3.主旨大意题。根据“Scientists say that there are different types of memory”和“Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways”可知,文章主要为了告诉我们一些关于记忆的有趣事实。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据“Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways”可知,文章和科学有关,所以可能出现在报纸的科学部分上。故选C。

【答案】1.the most popular 2.if/once 3.its 4.swimming 5.is 6.to enjoy 7.Hundreds 8.will come 9.a 10.about
【导语】本文介绍了如果你决定去美国留学,你应该选择西雅图,并介绍了美国的西雅图。
1.句意:在世界各国中,美国是最受欢迎的选择之一。one of+the 形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“……中最……之一”。故填the most popular。
2.句意:但如果你决定去美国留学,你应该知道去哪里。根据“you decide to study in the US, you should know where to go.”可知指如果/一旦你决定去美国留学,你应该知道去哪里,if“如果”/once“一旦”都符合,故填if/once。
3.句意:因为有绿色的森林,西雅图是一个进行户外活动的好地方,比如露营、游泳等。此空需要形容词性物主代词its“它的”修饰空后的名词forests,故填its。
4.句意:因为有绿色的森林,西雅图是一个进行户外活动的好地方,比如露营、游泳等。表示并列,应与camping形式保持一致,因此应用动名词形式swimming。故填swimming。
5.句意:在西雅图总是有事情可做。全文时态为一般现在时,此处主语是something,be动词用单数is,故填is。
6.句意:例如,在那里欣赏电影节、歌迷俱乐部和音乐会总是很有趣的。it is+形容词+to do sth.“做某事是……”,故填to enjoy。
7.句意:届时将有数百名男女演员来到这里。hundreds of“好几百”,故填Hundreds。
8.句意:届时将有数百名男女演员来到这里。根据“The Seattle International Film Festival will be the twentieth festival this year”可知是指将来,因此此空也应使用将来时,will do的结构。故填will come。
9.句意:一旦你选择在西雅图学习,在这里有大学经历是必要的。此空表泛指,university是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此用a,故填a。
10.句意:你想了解更多关于西雅图的信息吗?根据“Do you want to learn much information”可知是指想了解更多关于西雅图的信息,about“关于”,故填about。

2.延续性动词和非延续性动词。
动词按动作发生过程的长短, 分为延续性动词和非延续性动词
1. 延续性动词的用法:
延续性动词表示的动词是一种可以延续一段时间的动作。
如:learn, work, stand, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live 等。
这一类动词常与表示一段时间的时间词连用。
e.g. 我学习英语已经 8 年了。
I have learnt English for eight years.
2. 非延续性动词的用法
非延续性动词表示的动作不能延续, 即动作发生立即结束。如:leave, start, set out, arrive, reach, get to, begin, stop, shut, turn off, marry, put, put on, get up, wake, fall, join, finish, end, become, come, go, die, close, open, break, give, jump, buy, borrow 等。
(1) 非延续性动词不能和表示一段时间的状语连用 (since/for+时间段)。如:
他死了三年了。误:He has died for three years.
die 为非延续性动词, 不能与表示一段时间的状语 for three years 连用。
如果要与时间段连用, 需要把非延续性动词变为延续性动词。
如:He died three years ago. → He has been dead for three years.
其他动词变形方法如下
开/关
open
close
开始/结束
begin/ start
end/ finish
来去/离开
come/ go/ arrive

Who would win in a competition to remember numbers, a chimp (猩猩) or a teenager? In fact, scientists proved that the chimp did better than the teenager in this competition.
Do you still remember last year’s summer holiday? When you think back on it, you might think of the night that you spent watching the concert of Langlang. But how do you store these things in your mind? By using your memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. When something happens, our brains save the important information and put it in our memory.
Scientists say that there are different types of memory—short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. Long-term memory means the meaningful information you try hard to keep in your mind. People start to forget things just after they learn them. They learn about something one day, but have forgotten half of it the next day. A week later, they remember just a third of what they learnt. So remember to go over your lesson after you learn it.
Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it. But one thing is for sure, if you remember things with different ways together, you can get a better result. So try imaging pictures with English words, and at the same time listening to recordings of the same words. Maybe studying English won’t be a difficult thing.
