句型
1. have + 宾语+ 宾补
原文:Della had her hair cut off and sold it for twenty dollars. 黛拉把头发剪了,卖了20美元。(教材P34)
【句式分析】
本句中“had her hair cut off”为have + 宾语 +宾补结构,hair在句中作宾语,cut off 为宾补,头发被剪掉,hair和cut off 之间为被动关系,故用 have + 宾语 + done 结构。have + 宾语 + 宾补结构用法如下:
① have sb/ sth done 让某人或某事被做 (被动)
We had the machine repaired. 我们请人修理了机器。
② have sb do sth 让某人做某事 (主动)
I’ll have the gardener plant some trees.
我要让园丁种些树。
③ have sb doing sth 让某人一直做某事 (主动)

2. 否定词+比较级表示最高级
原文:In deed, the whole could not be happier to be together. 的确,一家人再没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。(教材P25)
【句式分析】
本句中的could not be happier表示“再高兴也不为过”。这是比较级的一种特殊用法,否定词与形容词或副词比较级连用表示最高级。要掌握该结构的用法,我们应注意以下两点:
①用于该结构中的否定词有: not, no, never, nothing等。例如:
This could give her no greater pleasure.
这使她再高兴不过了。
There’s nothing cheaper.
这东西再便宜不过了。
②该结构常用“can’t / couldn’t + 比较级”的形式。例如:
I can’t agree with you more.
我再同意不过了。(或:我完全同意你的意见。)
The weather couldn’t be worse.
天气再糟糕不过了。

课文赏析
1.赏场景之美
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music, and the group jumped into action.The band started playing an energetic samba beat, the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street.The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way.
写法领悟:第一句中的“explosion”和“jumped into”形象地写出了(狂欢节)激情四射的场景,此时人们的兴奋和热情瞬间迸发,形容词bright和lively则给这一场面描绘出绚丽的背景;第二句中的几个动词:twisted and turned, cheer, clap and sing, marching down和最后一句中的dancing all the way生动地写出了人们载歌载舞的欢乐场景;current以及the ever-growing sea of则呈现出人山人海的热闹景象。这些动态兼具夸张色彩的词汇的运用交织出里约狂欢节的盛景,令读者心生向往。
2.赏场景之美
Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands.I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by!
写法领悟:此处的line为名词动用,表示“沿……形成行(或列,排)”,照应下一句中的wave after wave of,再现了装着饮料和啤酒的冰柜沿狭长的街道一溜排开的壮观景象;fill和fever在这里都是熟词生义,分别表示“(声音、气味或光)弥漫”和“狂热或高度兴奋”,生动形象地描绘出狂欢节喧嚣热烈的场面;be caught up in和fly by则刻画出作者“陶醉于节日狂欢之中,忽觉时间飞逝”的情形。
3.赏用词与结构之美
Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy and excitement.Indeed, the whole family could not be happier to be together.Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house.
写法领悟:本段运用full of joy and excitement, could not be happier, their happy faces, merry laughter描绘出一幅合家团圆、其乐融融的画面。其中could not be happier运用了“否定词+比较级”结构来表达最高级的含义,强调了人们心中的喜悦;第三句中的cold与warmth形成对比,用室外的寒冷来衬托室内幸福、温馨的场面。

“Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we’ve done so far,”said Dr Snyder,a psychologist.
In research with 3,920 college students,Dr Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T.scores or their grade point averages in high school.“Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,” Dr Snyder said.“When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements,what sets them apart is hope.”
In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically,Dr Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right.“This idea is not concrete enough; it fails to clarify two key components of hope,” Dr Snyder said.
“Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals,whatever they may be.”
Despite the wisdom in the old saying “where there’s a will,there’s a way,” Dr Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.In a study of people from 18 to 70 years old,Dr Snyder discovered:only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals; about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals,but said they had little will to do so; another 20% have the opposite pattern,saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but little confidence that they would find the means; the rest had little hope at all,reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way.
“It’s not enough just to have the wish for something,”said Dr Snyder.“You need the means,too.On the other hand,all the skills to solve a problem won’t help without the willpower to do it.”
28.What does Dr Snyder think can best predict a freshman’s academic performance?
A.His S.A.T.scores.
B.His high school grades.
C.His level of hope.
D.His family background.
29.The underlined word “concrete” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.clear B.pure
C.universal D.popular
30.What did Dr Synder say about the old saying “where there’s a will,there’s a way”?
A.It is quite realistic.
B.It is not inspiring to students.
C.It is totally wrong.
D.It is not always true in reality.
31.What can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.No Pains,No Gains
B.Hope Emerges as Key to Success
C.Will Gets It Going
D.Where There’s a Will,There’s a Way
【答案】28-31 CADB
28.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“...Dr Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T.scores or their grade point averages in high school.”可知,斯耐德博士认为希望程度能最好地预测新生的学习成绩。故选C。
29.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“fails to clarify two key components of hope(它没有阐明希望的两个关键组成部分)”可推知“这个想法不够具体、清楚”。故选A。
30.D 推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句“Despite the wisdom in the old saying ‘where there’s a will,there’s a way,’Dr Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.”可知,对于“有志者事竟成”这句老话,斯耐德博士认为在现实中并不总是这样,两者之间无必然的联系。故选D。
31.B 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we’ve done so far...”和下文对希望的作用进行的分析可知,文章主要讲述成功的关键是“希望”。所以B项为最佳标题。
D
Nature calms our stressed-out soul. Nature is the best medicine, but new research is showing how little time we need to set aside to harvest the benefits.
In one new study, researchers tried to find the most effective “dose” (药剂) of nature within the context of normal daily life. As more doctors prescribe (开药方) nature experiences for stress relief and other health benefits — sometimes referred to as a “nature pill”— the study's authors hoped to make the details of these treatments clear.
“We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it is unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says lead author MaryCarol Hunter in a statement. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisone (压力荷尔蒙激素), you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature.”
A nature pill can be a low-cost, low-risk way to curb the negative effects of urbanization and indoor lifestyle. To find the most efficient dosage, Hunter and her co-authors asked 36 city citizens to have nature experiences of at least 10 minutes three times per week over eight weeks.
Every two weeks, the researchers collected saliva (唾液) samples to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisone, both before and after the participants took a nature pill. The data showed that just a 20-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce cortisone levels. The effect was more efficient between 20 and 30 minutes, after which benefits continued to increase but at a slower rate.
That fits with the findings of another recent study, which found that spending 20 minutes in an urban park can make you happier, no matter whether you use that time to exercise.
For this study, 94 adults visited 3 urban parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama, completing a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. An accelerometer (加速计) tracked their physical activity.
A visit lasting 20 to 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park. That last point is particularly positive, since it means anyone can benefit from visiting a nearby park, whatever his or her age or physical ability.
“There is increasing pressure on green space within urban settings,” said a UAB professor Gavin Jenkins. “Planners and developers look to replace green space with residential (住宅的) and commercial property. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearance of these spaces.”
32. The authors of the study expected to ______.
A. study the treatments of nature in detail
B. find an effective way to treat stress
C. introduce the benefits of “nature pill”
D. share some rewarding nature experiences
33. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. experience B. realize C. control D. produce
34. What does the first study mainly show?
A. We should stay in nature as long as possible.
B. Many health problems are caused by great pressure.
C. Lack of exercise may greatly increase cortisone levels.
D. A short period of time in nature is enough to reduce stress.
35. What does Gavin Jenkins want to express in the last paragraph?
A. Big cities should provide more sports facilities (设施).
B. City developers should spare more green spaces.
C. Visiting parks benefits people's physical health.
D. City planners should invest more in the property.
【答案】32-35 ACDB
【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了“自然药丸”对人的作用,并说明了适度地接触大自然可以使人获益,提升人的幸福感,最后强调了城市公园的重要性。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中的As more doctors prescribe (开药方) nature experiences for stress relief and other health benefits — sometimes referred to as a “nature pill”— the study's authors hoped to make the details of these treatments clear.可知,随着越来越多的医生为了缓解压力和其他健康益处(有时被称为“自然药丸”)而开出自然体验处方,这项研究的作者们希望这些治疗的细节能够更加清晰。由此可知,这项研究的作者希望更加详细地研究自然治疗法。故选A项。
33.词义猜测题。根据第四段中划线词后的the negative effects of urbanization and indoor lifestyle(城市化和室内生活方式的负面影响)可推知,自然药丸是一种低成本、低风险的方式来抑制或降低这种负面影响的方式。由此推断curb与control的意思最为接近。故选C项。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段中的The data showed that just a 20-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce cortisone levels.可知,数据显示,仅仅20分钟的自然体验就足以显著降低可的松水平。由此可知,短时间的与自然的接触就足够可以降低人们的压力。故选D项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is increasing pressure on green space within urban settings,” said a UAB professor Gavin Jenkins.和The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearance of these spaces.可知,UAB的加文·詹金斯教授认为,城市环境对绿地的压力越来越大,越来越多的证据表明城市公园的价值,但我们继续看到这些空间的消失。由此推断Gavin Jenkins呼吁城市建设者为城市留出更多的绿色空间。故选B项。

句型
1. have + 宾语+ 宾补
原文:Della had her hair cut off and sold it for twenty dollars. 黛拉把头发剪了,卖了20美元。(教材P34)
【句式分析】
本句中“had her hair cut off”为have + 宾语 +宾补结构,hair在句中作宾语,cut off 为宾补,头发被剪掉,hair和cut off 之间为被动关系,故用 have + 宾语 + done 结构。have + 宾语 + 宾补结构用法如下:
① have sb/ sth done 让某人或某事被做 (被动)
We had the machine repaired. 我们请人修理了机器。
② have sb do sth 让某人做某事 (主动)
I’ll have the gardener plant some trees.
我要让园丁种些树。
③ have sb doing sth 让某人一直做某事 (主动)

原文:In deed, the whole could not be happier to be together. 的确,一家人再没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。(教材P25)
【句式分析】
本句中的could not be happier表示“再高兴也不为过”。这是比较级的一种特殊用法,否定词与形容词或副词比较级连用表示最高级。要掌握该结构的用法,我们应注意以下两点:
①用于该结构中的否定词有: not, no, never, nothing等。例如:
This could give her no greater pleasure.
这使她再高兴不过了。
There’s nothing cheaper.
这东西再便宜不过了。
②该结构常用“can’t / couldn’t + 比较级”的形式。例如:
I can’t agree with you more.
我再同意不过了。(或:我完全同意你的意见。)
The weather couldn’t be worse.
天气再糟糕不过了。

课文赏析
1.赏场景之美
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music, and the group jumped into action.The band started playing an energetic samba beat, the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street.The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people, dancing all the way.
写法领悟:第一句中的“explosion”和“jumped into”形象地写出了(狂欢节)激情四射的场景,此时人们的兴奋和热情瞬间迸发,形容词bright和lively则给这一场面描绘出绚丽的背景;第二句中的几个动词:twisted and turned, cheer, clap and sing, marching down和最后一句中的dancing all the way生动地写出了人们载歌载舞的欢乐场景;current以及the ever-growing sea of则呈现出人山人海的热闹景象。这些动态兼具夸张色彩的词汇的运用交织出里约狂欢节的盛景,令读者心生向往。
2.赏场景之美
Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands.I was so caught up in the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by!
写法领悟:此处的line为名词动用,表示“沿……形成行(或列,排)”,照应下一句中的wave after wave of,再现了装着饮料和啤酒的冰柜沿狭长的街道一溜排开的壮观景象;fill和fever在这里都是熟词生义,分别表示“(声音、气味或光)弥漫”和“狂热或高度兴奋”,生动形象地描绘出狂欢节喧嚣热烈的场面;be caught up in和fly by则刻画出作者“陶醉于节日狂欢之中,忽觉时间飞逝”的情形。
3.赏用词与结构之美
Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy and excitement.Indeed, the whole family could not be happier to be together.Despite the cold outside, their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house.
写法领悟:本段运用full of joy and excitement, could not be happier, their happy faces, merry laughter描绘出一幅合家团圆、其乐融融的画面。其中could not be happier运用了“否定词+比较级”结构来表达最高级的含义,强调了人们心中的喜悦;第三句中的cold与warmth形成对比,用室外的寒冷来衬托室内幸福、温馨的场面。

“Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we’ve done so far,”said Dr Snyder,a psychologist.
In research with 3,920 college students,Dr Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T.scores or their grade point averages in high school.“Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,” Dr Snyder said.“When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements,what sets them apart is hope.”
In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically,Dr Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right.“This idea is not concrete enough; it fails to clarify two key components of hope,” Dr Snyder said.
“Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals,whatever they may be.”
Despite the wisdom in the old saying “where there’s a will,there’s a way,” Dr Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.In a study of people from 18 to 70 years old,Dr Snyder discovered:only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals; about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals,but said they had little will to do so; another 20% have the opposite pattern,saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but little confidence that they would find the means; the rest had little hope at all,reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way.
“It’s not enough just to have the wish for something,”said Dr Snyder.“You need the means,too.On the other hand,all the skills to solve a problem won’t help without the willpower to do it.”
28.What does Dr Snyder think can best predict a freshman’s academic performance?
A.His S.A.T.scores.
B.His high school grades.
C.His level of hope.
D.His family background.
29.The underlined word “concrete” in the third paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.clear B.pure
C.universal D.popular
30.What did Dr Synder say about the old saying “where there’s a will,there’s a way”?
A.It is quite realistic.
B.It is not inspiring to students.
C.It is totally wrong.
D.It is not always true in reality.
31.What can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.No Pains,No Gains
B.Hope Emerges as Key to Success
C.Will Gets It Going
D.Where There’s a Will,There’s a Way

Nature calms our stressed-out soul. Nature is the best medicine, but new research is showing how little time we need to set aside to harvest the benefits.
In one new study, researchers tried to find the most effective “dose” (药剂) of nature within the context of normal daily life. As more doctors prescribe (开药方) nature experiences for stress relief and other health benefits — sometimes referred to as a “nature pill”— the study's authors hoped to make the details of these treatments clear.
“We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it is unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” says lead author MaryCarol Hunter in a statement. “Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisone (压力荷尔蒙激素), you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature.”
A nature pill can be a low-cost, low-risk way to curb the negative effects of urbanization and indoor lifestyle. To find the most efficient dosage, Hunter and her co-authors asked 36 city citizens to have nature experiences of at least 10 minutes three times per week over eight weeks.
Every two weeks, the researchers collected saliva (唾液) samples to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisone, both before and after the participants took a nature pill. The data showed that just a 20-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce cortisone levels. The effect was more efficient between 20 and 30 minutes, after which benefits continued to increase but at a slower rate.
That fits with the findings of another recent study, which found that spending 20 minutes in an urban park can make you happier, no matter whether you use that time to exercise.
For this study, 94 adults visited 3 urban parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama, completing a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. An accelerometer (加速计) tracked their physical activity.
A visit lasting 20 to 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park. That last point is particularly positive, since it means anyone can benefit from visiting a nearby park, whatever his or her age or physical ability.
“There is increasing pressure on green space within urban settings,” said a UAB professor Gavin Jenkins. “Planners and developers look to replace green space with residential (住宅的) and commercial property. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearance of these spaces.”
32. The authors of the study expected to ______.
A. study the treatments of nature in detail
B. find an effective way to treat stress
C. introduce the benefits of “nature pill”
D. share some rewarding nature experiences
33. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. experience B. realize C. control D. produce
34. What does the first study mainly show?
A. We should stay in nature as long as possible.
B. Many health problems are caused by great pressure.
C. Lack of exercise may greatly increase cortisone levels.
D. A short period of time in nature is enough to reduce stress.
35. What does Gavin Jenkins want to express in the last paragraph?
A. Big cities should provide more sports facilities (设施).
B. City developers should spare more green spaces.
C. Visiting parks benefits people's physical health.
D. City planners should invest more in the property.

It's common that you dine out with background music filling the restaurant. Today, mealtime music has become so popular that we ignore how listening to music affects our dining experience. (1)
People Eat On Beat
Just as listening to fast music while exercising tends to make people run faster, studies have shown that fast tunes actually make diners eat faster. (2) They play songs with fast music during busy lunch rushes and select more relaxing songs when there are plenty of open tables.
Music Changes The Concept Of Time
(3) Studies have shown that playing classical music during eating can help people lose track of time in the most effective way. Playing familiar songs, on the other hand, actually helps people judge how long they've been staying.
Music Influences Behavior
Studies have proved that music can influence the behavior of listeners. (4) In contrast, quiet and relaxing music inspires polite talks and creates a more romantic atmosphere.
Music Changes How Food Tastes
Research has indicated that sound and frequency play a big role in how our brain reacts to the taste. (5) High frequencies add to sweetness while low frequencies increase bitterness. And loud background noises has the tendency to decrease the overall enjoyment of food.
A.Time flies when you're having fun.
B.Many restaurateurs have used this research to control paces as needed.
C.Loud music tends to encourage loud conversation and increased drinking.
D.Certain tunes and songs can even affect our feeling of food when we are eating it.
E.Researchers look at whether or not loud, fast music may increase the amount of eaten food.
F.The louder the music, the more cookies, chips, and sugary drinks shoppers ended up adding to their carts.
