It's really challenging for us to finish the race
My name is Li Hua.①I'm writing a letter to you to ask for some help because I find it is very difficult for me to learn English.
②Firstly, our texts are full of many new words that it's difficult for me to remember.③I have tried every means, but it is no use reciting them over and over again.
④What's more, it is also very difficult for me to learn grammar.Faced with so many difficulties, I have to turn to you for some help.⑤It will be very

2.句③,it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的 。
动名词短语
kind of you to introduce to me some good ways to learn new words.⑥In the meanwhile, it is hoped that you will introduce some rules and good ways to learn grammar.
I'm sure that I can make great progress in my English study with your help.
3.句⑥,it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的 。
that从句
it作形式主语
当主语部分相对于谓语部分而言太长时,常把主语部分移到句尾,在主语的位置放上it。it没有具体的意义,仅用于平衡句子,以避免头重脚轻。it作形式主语时常代替三种语法结构:动词不定式(短语)、动词ing(短语)和从句。
一、it代替动词不定式(短语)作形式主语
常见句型如下:
(1)It+be+形容词+(for/of sb.) to do sth.
(2)It+be+名词+to do sth.
(3)It+be+介词短语+to do sth.
(4)It takes sb.some time to do sth.
(5)It's up to sb.to do sth.
①It is difficult for a foreigner to learn Chinese.
外国人学习汉语不容易。
②It is everyone's duty to obey the law.
遵守法律是每个人的义务。
③It is against my principle to do that.
那样做违背我的原则。
④It took them a year to build the bridge.
建这座桥花了他们一年的时间。
⑤It is up to us to help those in need.
帮助那些有困难的人是我们的责任。
【点拨】
(1)在It is+adj.+for sb.to do sth.句式中作表语的形容词说明不定式行为的性质和特点。常见的形容词有easy, important, difficult, possible, necessary等。
(2)在It is+adj.+of sb.to do sth.句式中,形容词用于说明不定式的逻辑主语的品行、性格、性质等。常见的形容词有kind, nice, good, considerate, stupid, silly, careful, careless等。
①It's important for us to learn English well.
学好英语对我们来说很重要。
②It was very considerate of her to come to see me when I was ill.
她在我生病时来看我,真的很体贴。

(remember) all the faces and names.
②It is not up to you (tell) me how to do my job.
③It was nice them to invite us to dinner.
④It's very important college students to think and live independently.
to remember
to tell
of
二、it 代替动词ing(短语)作形式主语
常见句型如下:
It+be+no good/no use/useless/a waste of time/...+动词ing(短语)
①It is no good/use having a car if you can't drive.
如果你不会开车,有车也没用。
②It is a waste of time trying to persuade such a person to join us.
试图说服这样的人加入我们真是浪费时间。
————即学即练2————
用所给词的适当形式填空
①It's no good just (have) meetings.
② As you know, it's no use (complain) without taking action.
having
complaining
三、it代替从句作形式主语
用it作形式主语的主语从句常见句型如下:
(1)It+be+adj.(clear, certain, obvious, important, likely, necessary ...)+that 从句
(2)It+be+名词词组(a pity, a shame, no wonder, no surprise, an honor ...)+that 从句
(3)It+动词(seem, happen, occur, turn out等)+that从句
(4)It be+过去分词(said, reported, believed, thought, known, arranged ...)+that 从句
①It was obvious that the child had been badly treated.
很显然那个孩子受过虐待。
②It's a pity that you missed the exciting football match!
你错过了那场激动人心的足球比赛,真遗憾!
③It happened that I wasn't there that day.
恰好那天我不在那里。
④It is said that nothing has been done about it.
据说至今对此没采取任何措施。
【点拨】 在It is suggested/required/desired/ordered/proposed/...that...
的主语从句中用“(should+)动词原形”表示虚拟语气。
It is requested that he (should)give a performance at the party.
有人请求他在聚会上表演一个节目。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题4分,共16分)
In Yemen, the long years of war, which have resulted in great loss of life, displacement of thousands, and a decline in economic and living conditions, have also taken a toll on people's mental health.
Abdul Karim lost his ability to work and separated himself socially after experiencing a frightening event.His wife talked him into seeking(寻求) treatment.He used to travel more than 100 km to visit a doctor in Sana' a, since mental health services were not available in Hajjah and its surrounding areas.“When I discovered that MSF provides mental health care in Hajjah, I started coming to the clinic every month and I have been going there for the past two years, ” says Abdul Karim.
It is a mental health programme at the AlJumhouri Hospital, provided by MSF in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.The programme includes psychological care, psychiatric(精神疾病的)treatment for severe mental health disorders, and psychoeducation in groups.
“Most patients arrive with severe conditions that require psychiatric treatment in addition to psychological care,”says Aura Ramirez, MSF mental health activity manager.“These cases amount to 70 to 80 per cent of our patients.”
Most people with mental health issues in Yemen often seek support and treatment at a late stage.“This is largely due to the lack of awareness of mental health disorders,” says Muaadh AbdulGhani AlSamawi, MSF mental health director in Hajjah.“Some connect mental issues with sorcery(巫术) and turn to other traditional means for help.Linking mental illness to madness also further discourages the patients and their families from seeking help.”
The MSF mental health clinic in Hajjah receives about 400 patients per month.Men amount to around 70 per cent of the patients, which indicates challenges facing women in accessing mental health services.Women need the support of their husbands or families to receive treatment.In response, the teams work to raise awareness and highlight the importance of mental health care in communities by conducting regular education activities in various departments of AlJumhouri Hospital for patients, their families and visitors.
[语篇解读]本文是新闻报道,无国界医生组织为也门罹患精神疾病的人提供帮助。
1.What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Expanded access to.
B.Raised awareness of.
C.Produced a bad effect on.
D.Identified a basic need for.
解析:选C。词句猜测题。由第一段中的“great loss of...living conditions”可知,也门动荡的局势让人们流离失所;又由下文内容可知,很多罹患精神疾病的人可以获得无国界医生组织的帮助。由此可推知,战乱对于人们的精神健康产生了负面影响。
2.What does the mental health programme in Hajjah include?
A.Bringing in experienced psychological doctors.
B.Establishing more clinics in the surrounding areas.
C.Providing treatment for a variety of mental health issues.
D.Conducting household surveys on people's mental health conditions.

3.Why do most patients with mental health problems receive treatment at a late stage?
A.They doubt the capability of the doctors.
B.They can't afford to seek professional help.
C.They have better traditional means of treatment.
D.They don't recognise the signs of their problems.
解析:选D。推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“This is largely...health disorders”可知,人们对精神健康问题的意识淡薄,这也就意味着他们意识不到患病的迹象。
4.What do the patient statistics mentioned in the last paragraph suggest?
A.Men are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders.
B.Women are not given equal medical opportunities.
C.Some hospitals are facing a doctor shortage.
D.The number of patients keeps rising.
解析:选B。推理判断题。由最后一段中的“which indicates...to receive treatment.”可知,在也门,妇女即使出现了精神健康问题,也很难获得救治服务,她们需要获得丈夫或者其他家庭成员的支持。由此可推知,妇女在当地无法获得与男性平等的治疗机会。

Ⅲ.语法填空(每题1.5分,共15分)
(2024·山东泰安市高二上期末)Have you ever seen wheat straw left over in the field? It is 1 (probable) seen as a pile of waste by you, right? However, the straw 2 (leave) over from harvested wheat can be turned into some common items in our daily life.Some even can be made into beautiful and eyecatching 3 (function) artworks by craftsmen.
Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks, and it 4 (list) as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.The strawweaving products discovered at Hemudu cultural ruins were considered as the 5 (early) in the world.
Here is the process of straw weaving: Selecting materials is the first step of a complicated and laborintensive process 6 can take weeks, or even months, to complete.You need to sketch the piece on paper, which requires drawing 7 (skill).Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work.Even if the whole process has been finished, 8 is hard to say you have got a good piece of work.And 9 hardest part is to make it lifelike.
Next time, if you see wheat straw, you may as well try 10 (create) your own work, which helps dig deeper local traditional culture.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麦秸编织是一种制作日常用品或艺术品的方法,并于2008年被列为国家非物质文化遗产。
1.解析:probably。考查词性转换。句意:你可能会认为这是一堆垃圾,对吧?修饰动词短语应用副词probably,故填probably。
2.解析:left。考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,收获小麦后剩下的麦秸可以变成我们日常生活中的一些常见物品。分析句子结构可知leave与逻辑主语straw构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填left。
3.解析:functional。考查词性转换。句意:有些甚至可以由工匠制作成美观醒目的功能艺术品。修饰名词artworks应用形容词functional,故填functional。
4.解析:was listed。考查时态、语态。句意:麦秸编织是一种制作日常用品或艺术品的方法,并于2008年被列为国家非物质文化遗产。主语与谓语构成被动关系,根据后文in 2008可知发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was listed。
5.解析:earliest。考查最高级。句意:河姆渡文化遗址发现的草编制品被认为是世界上最早的草编制品。根据上文定冠词以及句意“最早的”可知应用最高级earliest。故填earliest。
6.解析:that/which。考查定语从句。句意:这是麦秸编织的过程:第一步是选择材料,这是一个复杂的、高劳动强度的过程,这个过程可能需要数周甚至数月才能完成。定语从句修饰先行词process,关系词在从句作主语,指物,故填that/which。
7.解析:skills。考查名词的数。句意:你需要在纸上画出草图,这需要绘画技巧。skill为可数名词,前文没有冠词,表示数量大于一应用复数形式。故填skills。
8.解析:it。考查it用法。句意:即使整个过程已经完成,也很难说你得到了一件好作品。此处为句型it be+adj.+to do sth.,it作形式主语,真正的主语是不定式to say...,故填it。
9.解析:the。考查冠词。句意:最难的部分是让它栩栩如生。后文hardest为最高级,前面与定冠词连用。故填the。
10.解析:creating。考查非谓语动词。句意:下次,如果你看到麦秸,你不妨尝试自己创作,这有助于深入挖掘当地的传统文化。短语try doing sth.表示“尝试做某事”。故填creating。
