time④ she was seven years old，she still couldn’t speak，read or write and needed to have everything done for her.This was because she couldn’t see or hear. With these severe⑤ restrictions⑥ to her communication⑦，Helen’s behaviour⑧ was often unbearable⑨.She was sometimes troublesome⑩，stubborn⑪ and angry，and had a tendency⑫ to break things when no one understood her.  Part 1　教材原文助读 4 This was because...“这是因为……”，because引导表语从句。 ①enlighten/InˈlaItn/vt.启迪；指导，教导 ②Helen Keller/ˈhelən ˈkelə/海伦·凯勒 ③exceptionally/Ikˈsepʃənəli/adv.极其，非常 ④by the time 到……的时候 ⑤severe/sIˈvIə/adj.很严重的

　　海伦·凯勒是一个非常特殊的女孩。她7岁时，仍不会说话，不能读书，也不会写字，一切都需要别人照顾。这是因为她看不见也听不见。这些严重的障碍限制了海伦的正常交流，也让她的行为常常令人难以忍受。她有时很烦人，很固执，而且很易怒，当没有人理解她的时候，她会有摔东西的倾向。 8 　　Helen’s parents got a superb⑬ teacher recommended to them，a woman named Anne Sullivan⑭.Anne was a teacher and former⑮ student at a school for the blind⑯ in Boston⑰.She’d had eyesight⑱ problems early in life as well⑲ so she could relate⑳ to Helen’s difficulties.  got a superb teacher recommended是get sb./sth.done结构，a superb teacher与recommend之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。 9 ⑬superb/sjuːˈpɜːb/adj.极好的，卓越的 ⑭Anne Sullivan/ˈæn ˈsʌləvən/安妮·莎莉文 ⑮former adj.前者的，前任的 ⑯the blind 盲人(the＋adj.表示一类人) ⑰Boston/ˈbɒstən/波士顿 ⑱eyesight/ˈaIsaIt/n.视力 ⑲as well 也，同样地 ⑳relate/rIˈleIt/vi.理解；相联系 ※relate to...理解……；与……有关系 10 海伦的父母经人推荐，聘请了一位名叫安妮·莎莉文的优秀老师。安妮曾是波士顿一所盲人学校的老师，也曾在那儿上过学。她早年也有视力(方面的)问题，所以她能理解海伦(所面临)的困境。 11 　　Anne’s technique㉑ to teach Helen language was simple and straightforward㉒.Anne spelt words by writing on Helen’s hand so that Helen could get a mental picture of the words.She started with㉓ the word “doll”.She would let Helen play with the doll㉔，and then spell the letters “D-O-L-L” on her hand.When they initially㉕did this，Helen thought it was a game.She wrote about her excitement㉖ later in her book，The Story of My Life：  12 to teach Helen language是动词不定式短语作定语，修饰名词technique。 so that Helen could get a mental picture of the words是so that引导的目的状语从句，so that表示“为了，以便”。 play with the doll是省略了to的动词不定式短语作宾语补足语，前面是使役动词let，故此处省略了不定式符号to。 13 ㉑technique/tekˈniːk/n.技巧，手法 ㉒straightforward/ˌstreItˈfɔːwəd/adj.简单的，易懂的；诚实的，坦率的 ㉓start with 从……开始 ㉔doll/dɒl/n.玩偶 ㉕initially/IˈnIʃəli/adv.起初 ㉖excitement/IkˈsaItmənt/n.兴奋，激动 ※excite vt.使兴奋，刺激 ※exciting adj.令人兴奋的，使人激动的 14 安妮教海伦学习语言的方法简单明了。安妮在海伦手上拼写单词，使海伦在脑海中形成单词的画面。安妮给海伦拼写的第一个词是“doll”。她先让海伦和洋娃娃玩耍，然后在她的手上拼写“D-O-L-L”。刚开始，海伦以为这是在玩游戏。后来，在《我的人生故事》一书中，海伦描述了自己的兴奋之情： 15 　　“Running downstairs to my mother，I held up㉗ my hand and made the letters for ‘doll’. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed； I was simply㉘ making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation㉙.”  running downstairs to my mother是现在分词短语作状语，句子主语I与run之间是主谓关系。 go in monkey-like imitation是省略了to的动词不定式短语作宾语补足语，前面是使役动词make，所以此处省略了不定式符号to。 16 ㉗hold up 举起 ㉘simply adv.仅仅；简直；简单地；朴素地 ㉙imitation/ˌImIˈteIʃən/n.模仿，仿效 17 　　“我跑下楼去见我的母亲，举起手来，也给她拼写‘doll’的字母。可我那时并不知道自己在拼写单词，甚至不知道词汇的存在；我仅仅是亦步亦趋地用手指去模仿。” 18 　　When they were at the well㉚ one day，Anne put one of Helen’s hands under the stream㉛ of water.As the water flowed over Helen’s hand，Anne spelt out “W-A-T-E-R” into Helen’s other hand.As Anne wrote on Helen’s hand，Helen suddenly realised that the movement㉜ of the fingers meant the cool liquid㉝ flowing over her hand .This precious㉞ knowledge gave her hope and joy.Finally，she got the world of words opened up㉟ to her.  19 as the water flowed over Helen’s hand是as引导的时间状语从句，as意为“当……的时候”。 as Anne wrote on Helen’s hand是as引导的时间状语从句，as意为“当……的时候”。 flowing over her hand是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词liquid，liquid与flow之间是主谓关系。 20 ㉚well n.井，水井 ㉛stream/striːm/n.水流 ㉜movement n.运动，活动 ※move v.移动，搬家；使感动 ㉝liquid/ˈlIkwId/n.液体 ㉞precious/ˈpreʃəs/adj.宝贵的 ㉟open up 打开，开发 21 一天，她们在井边，安妮把海伦的一只手放在水流下。水缓缓流过海伦的手掌，安妮在她的另一只手上拼写“W-A-T-E-R”。安妮在海伦手上写的时候，海伦突然意识到，手指的动作代表的是流过自己手掌的清凉的液体。这宝贵的知识给她带来希望和快乐。终于，她打开了语言世界的大门。 　　Now that㊱ Helen grasped㊲ the key to language ，she was very eager to㊳ learn more and use it as much as she could㊴.Children who can see and hear learn language easily ，but for Helen，it was a gradual㊵ and sometimes painful㊶ process.However，because Helen was so enthusiastic㊷ about learning，the results were amazing.  now that...language是now that引导的原因状语从句，now that表示“既然，因为”。 who can see and hear是定语从句，修饰先行词children，关系代词who指代人，在从句中作主语。 ㊱now that 既然，因为 ㊲grasp/grɑːsp/vt.理解，领会 ㊳be eager to do sth.渴望做某事 ㊴as...as...can 尽可能…… =as...as possible ㊵gradual/ˈɡrædʒuəl/adj.逐渐的，逐步的 ㊶painful/ˈpeInfəl/adj.令人痛苦的；困难的；疼痛的 ※pain n.痛苦；疼痛 ㊷enthusiastic/InˌθjuːziˈæstIk/adj.热心的，热衷的 ※be enthusiastic about 热衷于；对……充满热情 由于海伦理解了语言的关键，她非常渴望学习更多语言，并且尽可能学以致用。正常的孩子能听、能看，学起语言来很容易。但对海伦来说，学习语言是个渐进的过程，有时还会很痛苦。然而，因为海伦对学习有极高的热情，学习成果令人吃惊。 　　As Helen’s knowledge and vocabulary㊸ expanded㊹ ，she asked more and more questions.This soon led her to㊺ discover more complex words and changed her thinking process .Trying to learn the word “love” was an experience that she remembered well .This is how she described it in her book ：  as Helen’s...expanded是as引导的时间状语从句，as意为“随着”。 thinking process中thinking是动名词作定语，修饰process。 单个动名词短语trying to learn the word “love”作句子的主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数was。 that she remembered well是定语从句，修饰先行词an experience，关系代词在从句中作remembered的宾语。 how she described it in her book是表语从句。 ㊸vocabulary/vəˈkæbjʊləri/n.词汇量 ㊹expand/Ikˈspænd/vi.& vt.(使)扩大；增加 ㊺lead sb.to do sth.导致某人做某事 complex/ˈkɒmpleks/adj.复杂的；难以理解的 随着海伦的知识和词汇量的不断扩大，她提出的问题也越来越多。这使她学会了更复杂的单词，从而改变了她的思维过程。试着学习“love”这个单词是她记得很清楚的一次经历。在书中她这样描述道： “I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word ‘love’.This was before I knew many words. I had found a few early violets㊼ in the garden and brought them to my teacher...Miss Sullivan put her arm gently㊽ round me and wrote on my hand，‘I love Helen.’ ‘What is love?’ I asked.She drew㊾ me closer to㊿ her and said，‘It is here，’ pointing to my heart...Her words puzzled me very much because I did not then understand anything unless I touched it .”  before I knew many words是表语从句。 because引导原因状语从句；unless I touched it是条件状语从句。 ㊼violet/ˈvaIəlIt/n.紫罗兰 ㊽gently/ˈdʒentli/adv.轻柔地；温和地；平缓地 ㊾draw v.拉；吸引 ㊿close to 靠近…… point to 指向…… puzzle/ˈpʌzəl/vt.使困惑，使迷惑 ※puzzled adj.困惑的；迷惑不解的 ※puzzling adj.令人迷惑的 “我记得有一天早上，我第一次问‘love’这个单词的含义。那时我的词汇量还很有限。我在花园里发现了早开的紫罗兰，摘下一些带给老师……莎莉文老师温柔地搂着我，在我的手上写着：‘我爱海伦。’‘什么是爱?’我问道。她把我拉到身边，指着我的心脏说，‘爱在这里。’……她的话令我非常困惑，因为以往我只有触碰到实际物体，才能理解它代表的意思。” 　　Although the meaning of love was still not apparent to Helen ，she kept on trying to understand it.“I smelt the violets in her hand and asked，half in words，half in signs，a question which meant，‘Is love the sweetness of flowers?’ ‘No，’ said my teacher.”  although the meaning of love...是although引导的让步状语从句。 which meant...是定语从句，修饰先行词a question，which在从句中作主语。 apparent/əˈpærənt/adj.显而易见的；明白的 ※apparently adv.看来，显然 keep on doing sth.继续做某事 sweetness n.甜，芬芳 尽管对海伦来说，爱的意义还不明确，但她一直试着理解。“我闻了闻她手里的紫罗兰，半拼写半比画地问了个问题，意思大概是‘爱是花朵的香味吗?’‘不，’我的老师回答道。” 　　When Helen and Anne were outside one day，Helen felt the warmth of the sun’s rays .She pointed up and asked if that was love.When her teacher said that it wasn’t，she was confused and disappointed .“I thought it strange that my teacher could not show me love.”  本句是一个复合句，主句是“动词＋it＋宾语补足语＋that...”结构，it是形式宾语，从句that my teacher...love是真正的宾语。 warmth n.温暖；热情 ray/reI/n.(太阳或月亮的)光线 confused adj.迷惑的 disappointed/ˌdIsəˈpɔIntId/adj.失望的，沮丧的 一天和老师在室外，海伦感受到了阳光的温暖。她指了指太阳，问老师那是不是爱。当她的老师说不是的时候，她感到困惑，还有些失望。“我觉得很奇怪，因为我的老师不能给我展示什么是爱。” 　　The word “think” was also a difficult one for Helen because it is such an abstract concept However，one day as she was working on a simple task ，she had a breakthrough .She was making necklaces with the help of Anne when she noticed that she had made some mistakes . Because she was uncertain how to fix them，she stopped to think carefully.As she did this， Anne touched Helen’s forehead and wrote the word “think” on her hand.“In a flash I knew that the word was the name of the process that was going on in my head .”  because it is...concept是because引导的原因状语从句。 as she was working on a simple task是as引导的时间状语从句，as意为“当……的时候”。 本句是并列句，使用了“was doing...when...”句型，表示“正在做……这时……”，并列连词when意为“这时”。 that was going on in my head是定语从句，修饰先行词the process，关系代词that在从句中作主语。 abstract/ˈæbstrækt/adj.抽象的 concept/ˈkɒnsept/n.概念；想法 breakthrough/ˈbreIkθruː/n.突破；重大进展 necklace/ˈneklIs/n.项链 with the help of...在……的帮助下 make mistakes/a mistake 犯错误 uncertain adj.不确定的 fix v.修理，维修；解决 stop to do sth.停下来做某事 ※stop doing sth.停止做某事 forehead/ˈfɔːhed/n.额，前额 in a flash 瞬间；一刹那间 “think”这个词对海伦来说也很难理解，因为它是一个如此抽象的概念。然而有一天，在做一项简单的任务时，她取得了突破。她正在安妮的帮助下做项链，这时她发现自己弄错了一部分。因为她不确定该如何解决，便停下来认真思考。在她思考的时候，安妮点了点海伦的额头，在她的手上拼写出了“think”这个词。“瞬间我就明白了，我头脑中进行的活动就是这个词的意思。” 　　It was the first time Helen had understood such a complex word—a word for something she couldn’t touch. At that moment ，her mind returned to the word “love”.As she thought about its meaning again，the sun came out .She pointed to the sun and asked her teacher again if that was love.Anne answered Helen by explaining that love was like the sun and clouds in a way.  It was the first time...是固定句式，意为“第一次”，从句用过去完成时。 explaining that...way是动名词短语作介词by的宾语，其中that love was...way是explaining的宾语从句。 at that moment 就在那时 return to 回到；恢复到 think about 考虑，思考 come out 出来；出版 in a way 在某种程度上；有点儿 那是海伦第一次明白一个如此复杂的单词的意思——一个代表着她触摸不到的东西的抽象单词。这时，她又想起了“love”。她再次思考“love”是什么意思，恰巧这时太阳出来了。海伦指着太阳又问老师那是不是爱。安妮解释道，爱在某种程度上就像太阳和云彩。 　　“You cannot touch the clouds，you know； but you feel the rain...You cannot touch love either； but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything .Without love you would not be happy or want to play. ”  that it pours into everything是定语从句，修饰先行词the sweetness，关系代词that在从句中作动词pours的宾语。 本句是以否定介词without引导的含蓄虚拟条件句，表示与现在事实相反的情况，谓语用“情态动词＋动词原形”形式。 pour into 灌注，灌输；倒入 “你知道，你摸不到云彩，但是你能感觉到雨……你也触摸不到爱，但是你能感觉到爱给万物带来的甜蜜。没有爱，你就不会快乐，也不会想玩耍。” 　　In that vivid moment，Helen finally understood the beautiful truth of the word “love”. vivid/ˈvIvId/adj.生动的，逼真的 truth n.真理；真相，事实 就在那个动人的时刻，海伦终于明白了“love”这个单词蕴含的美丽的真谛。 1.Choose the main idea of paragraphs.

TALK English Schools offer different accommodation options so you can choose the best alternative according to your personality and preferences，the time you plan to spend studying in the United States and，most importantly，the one that best fits your budget. Homestay Homestay is one of the most popular and economic options for international students.You will occupy a bedroom in an American family home，having a real cultural experience and practicing English outside the classroom.Families participating in the TALK Homestay Program are selected，for their convenience of access from home to school via public transportation.In exchange for your accommodation in a safe and comfortable environment，you will participate in family activities，contribute to house chores (家务活) and get involved with the local community. Different meal plan options are available.It is such a rich experience that it’s very common for students to keep a good relationship with their host families even after returning to their home country. Student Residence In addition to homestay，student residences are also good choices. Gaining or securing your independence and sharing your experiences with other students of different nationalities are some of the advantages of student residences.These accommodations are usually closer to schools，eventually within walking distance，and you can share your room with one or two people—sharing expenses will help you save for more fun times during your stay! Other great advantages of residences are comfort and practicality. Some offer furnished (带家具的) studio apartments with kitchen，TV and the possibility of enjoying the amenities (便利设施) of common spaces such as laundry，pools，bike racks. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了TALK英语学校为学生提供的不同的住宿选择。 1.Who is the text mainly intended for?

In announcing Rebecca as one of this year’s 23 fellows，the Foundation noted her commitment to “improving access to quality health care for all the world’s people”.Rebecca，who teaches bioengineering at Rice University in Houston，is not only developing novel solutions but also training and inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists to address our shared global challenges.She has made a name for herself in the field not for her own inventions，but for the incredible creativity of her students. Rebecca says she challenges students to design new medical devices and technologies that can actually be put into practice in low-resource settings.“In the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Malawi，there are 83 broken oxygen concentrators.If any one of them was working，it could be saving lives.” The original syringe pump (注射泵) could operate for only an hour or two on battery backup，but Malawi currently is facing major power outages (断供期).So Rebecca asked her students to re-engineer the device and they’ve come up with a new syringe pump that can run for 66 hours. In addition to teaching and overseeing projects in remote parts of the developing world，Richards-Kortum is married with six children. She also runs marathons and is planning to run the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C.next month.Rebecca says she thinks about marathon running in relation to her work teaching bioengineering.Those final steps in building a new medical device or using a new technology in the field can be the most difficult.“We all have times when we need to hear ‘Come on! You can make it!’” she says.“As an educator，my job is to be that voice.”  　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了丽贝卡获得麦克阿瑟奖学金的故事。 4.Why could Rebecca win the MacArthur Fellowships?
