3、 重难句型解析
1. if引导条件状语从句
(教材原句)If you come to my city , I’ll show you around. 如果你来我们城市,我会带你四处参观。
if常用于引导条件状语从句,表明主句动作或状态发生时必备的条件。条件状语从句的时态一般遵循“主将从现”的原则,即用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
[随学随练]
单项填空
(1) —Can I go to watch a basketball game this afternoon, Mom?

A.if B.after C.though D.when

【详解】句意:——妈妈,今天下午我可以去看篮球比赛吗?——如果你不完成作业,恐怕你不能去。
考查连词。if如果;after在……之后;though尽管;when当……时。根据“...you don’t finish your homework.”可知,此处表示条件,“if”引导条件状语从句,符合语境。故选A。
(2) If we _______ low on clean water, scientists will find solutions soon.
A.run B.will run C.ran D.are running
【答案】A
【详解】句意:如果我们缺少干净的淡水,科学家很快就会找到解决办法。
考查条件句的时态。run变得,动词原形;will run将会变得,一般将来时;ran变得,一般过去时;are running正在变得,现在进行时。分析句子可知,本句是If引导的条件状语从句,需遵循“主将从现”的原则,即主句“scientists will find solutions soon”使用一般将来时,从句则需用一般现在时来表示将来。主语“we”为复数,故动词应使用动词原形“run”。故选A。
2. 并列句
(教材原句)Sometimes my friends and I argue but I don’t know how to make up. 有时我和朋友会吵架,但我不知道该怎么(与他)和好。
(教材原句)You have some problems with your homework, and you really need help. 你在作业方面有些难题,你真的需要帮助。

单项填空
(1) This book isn’t funny, ________ Bill likes reading it.
A.and B.but C.so D.if
【答案】B
【详解】句意:这本书不有趣,但是比尔喜欢读它。
考查连词辨析。and和,表并列;but但是,表转折;so所以,表因果;if如果,表条件。根据“This book isn’t funny”以及“Bill likes reading it.”可知,前后句之间为转折关系,所以应该用but连接。故选B。
(2) You mustn’t bring your mobile phones to school, ________ you will be against the rules.
A.so B.and C.or D.because
【答案】C
【详解】句意:你不准把手机带到学校,否则你会违反规定。
考查连词辨析。so所以;and和;or否则;because因为。根据“You mustn’t bring your mobile phones to school”和“you will be against the rules”可知后半句是违背前半句的结果,需用“or”表示“否则”的警告含义。故选C。
(3) Martha helped me a lot, ________ I want to send her a thank-you card.
A.or B.but C.so D.and
【答案】C
【详解】句意:Martha帮了我很多,所以我想给她寄一张感谢卡。
考查连词辨析。or或者;but但是;so所以;and和。前半句“Martha helped me a lot”是原因,后半句“I want to send her a thank-you card”是结果,因此用表示结果的连词so连接。故选C。
3. What if句型
(教材原句)What if we argue more over the phone? 如果我们在电话里争论得更多呢?
what if 意为“要是…会怎么样呢”,用于疑问句句首,尤用于询问不希望看到的事发生时的结果。what if后常跟一个使用现在式的陈述句。
[随学随练]
单项填空

【详解】句意:如果下周下雨怎么办?
考查一般现在时。What if+主谓,用一般现在时代替将来时,主语是it,动词用第三人称单数,故选B。
4、 其他重要知识点讲解
1. make后接复合宾语结构
(教材原句)it takes longer and make things worse
make后things是宾语,worse是形容词补充说明things作宾语补足语结构,“宾语+宾语补足语”构成复合宾语。make后接复合宾语时,宾语补足语可以是名词,形容词或不带to的不定式等。make后接形容词比较作宾语补足语的情况也很常见。
如:She always makes us laugh. (不带to的不定式作宾语补足语)
We should try our best to make our world a better place. (名词作宾语补足语)
If you don’t take action right away, you will make the matter worse.(形容词比较级作宾语补足语)

单项填空
(1) My sister is sad, so I try to make her ________.
A.happy B.happily C.happiness D.unhappy
【答案】A
【详解】句意:我妹妹很伤心,所以我努力让她开心。
考查形容词。happy开心的,形容词;happily开心地,副词;happiness开心,名词;unhappy不开心的,形容词。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定用法“make sb. + 形容词”,含义是“使某人处于某种状态”。根据前文“sad”提示可知,此处需表达“让她开心”,happy符合。故选A。
(2) The world is becoming smaller and smaller because the Internet makes us ________.
A.close B.closer C.the closer D.the closest
【答案】B
【详解】句意:世界变得越来越小,因为互联网使我们更加亲密。
考查形容词用法。close亲密的;closer更亲密的;closest最亲密的。根据“The world is becoming smaller and smaller”可知,是因为互联网使我们更加亲密,应用比较级。故选B。
(3) —Sarah, who is ________ in your family?
—My brother Fred is funny and he always makes us ________.
A.funny; laughing B.fun; laugh C.fun; laughing D.funny; laugh
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——萨拉,你家谁有趣?——我兄弟弗雷德很有趣,他总是让我们笑。
考查形容词辨析和非谓语动词。funny有趣的;fun使人快乐的,可以描述事物或活动。第一个空,根据答语“My brother Fred is funny”可知,问题询问“谁有趣”,应使用形容词funny;第二个空,考查make sb do sth结构,表示“使某人做某事”,动词用原形laugh。故选D。
2. 动词-ing形式作主语
(教材原句)I understand, but meeting in person is not always easy.
此句中meeting in person是动词-ing形式作主语。单个的动词-ing形式作主语,其后的谓语动词用单数。
[随学随练]
单项填空
(1) ________ the English club at school is the best way to improve our English.
A.Join B.Joining C.joined D.Joins
【答案】B
【详解】句意:加入学校的英语俱乐部是提高我们英语水平的最好方法。
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子已有谓语动词“is”,所以此处应使用非谓语动词形式。“Join”是动词原形,“joined”是过去式或过去分词形式,“Joins”是第三人称单数形式,均不能直接作句子主语。而“Joining”是动名词形式,可以作主语,表示“加入英语俱乐部”这一行为或动作。所以此处应该用“Joining”。故选B。
(2) Drinking some water and milk ________ very good for you.
A.is B.are C.was D.be
【答案】A
【详解】句意:喝一些水和牛奶对你非常有益。
考查主谓一致。is是,be的第三人称单数现在时形式;are是,be的复数和第二人称单数现在时形式;was是,be的第一和第三人称单数过去式;be是,动词原形。本句描述的是一个客观事实,句子时态为一般现在时,“Drinking some water and milk”是动名词短语作主语,谓语用三单形式,is符合。故选A。
3. stay用作系动词
(教材原句)If you stay calm and say sorry,...
此句中stay用作形动词,意为“保持,维持”,其后常跟形容词作表语。
[随学随练]
单项填空
We should take more exercise to stay ________.
A.health B.healthy C.fat D.short
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我们应该做更多的运动来保持健康。
考查形容词词义辨析。health健康,名词;healthy健康的,形容词;fat肥胖的;short矮的,短的。根据“take more exercise ”可知,运动是为了保持健康,排除选项C和D;stay“保持”属于系动词,后接形容词作表语,stay healthy“保持健康”,故选B。
4. “careful+介词”短语
(教材原句)... if you not careful with you words.
be careful之后可接不同的介词组成短语,如about、of、with等,其表达含义略有不同。此句中you not careful with you words意为“你用词不够小心的话”,强调行为要谨慎。
如:Be careful of the dog. 小心那条狗。(强调对危险的防范)
Be more careful with your homework. 对待你的作业要更仔细一些。(强调细心操作)
此外,be careful后还可接不定式或从句
如:We must be careful not to break the rules. 我们必须小心不要违反规则。(强调有意识地避免某种结果)

Treat each other with respect.

Listen to other people patiently.
When everyone is talking, who does the listening? 3 Do not be too quick to judge what you hear. Listening in silence is sometimes stronger than arguing in vain.

7. 阅读理解
A
Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also part of friendship. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible (负责的) for causing the arguments, it’s important that he should say sorry to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or talks to express your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have the greatest effect. This will make your friend realize that you really care about him/her.
Points to Remember
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.
Words: While you are writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.
Order: Always begin by saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him/her your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what the friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.

Different Forms of Communication
In our daily lives, we communicate in different forms. One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication. When we talk to our friends, family, or teachers in person, we can see their facial (面部的) expressions, body language, and hear the tone of their voices. This helps us understand not only the words they say but also their emotions. For example, a big smile on someone’s face usually means they are happy. When we’re sharing exciting news with a friend over coffee, face-to-face communication makes the moment even more special.
Another form is communication through social media. Platforms like WeChat and QQ allow us to chat with people far away. We can share photos, videos, and ideas easily. However, we can’t see the real-time reactions of the other person. For example, when we post a funny story on WeChat Moments, we have to wait for likes and comments to know how others feel.
Phone calls are also popular. We can have a quick conversation when we are busy. But sometimes, it’s hard to express complex ideas over the phone. For example, when we need to explain a detailed plan to a colleague (同事), a phone call might not be enough.
In short, each form of communication has its own advantages (优点) and disadvantages. We should choose the right one according to different situations.

4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It’s very easy to express complex ideas through phone calls.
B.When we post something on Wechat Moment, we can know how others feel quickly.
C.If you want to talk with people far away, you can only use Platforms.
D.Each form of communication has its own advantages and disadvantages.
5.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.Phone calls are not useful at all at present (目前).
B.Social media is the best way to communicate.
C.We should only use face-to-face communication.
D.We should choose right communication forms by situations.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.D
【导语】本文介绍了日常生活中不同的交流形式,包括面对面交流、社交媒体交流和电话交流,每种形式都有其优缺点,并建议人们根据不同的情况选择合适的交流方式。
1.细节理解题。根据“One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication.”可知,最常见的方式之一是面对面交流。故选C。

8. 任务型理解
In today’s world we find ourselves communicating more through online channels such as messaging, social media and video calls. There are certain situations where online communication is necessary but others where we choose a virtual (虚拟的) conversation over a real-life one. Is online communication preferable in today’s world?
To begin with, I’d like to talk about the advantages (优点) of online communication. Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world. This has many advantages in the workplace as meetings can take place through video conferencing (视频会议) among companies in Stockholm, San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for long and time-consuming (耗费时间的) business trips.
What’s more, it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day. Another advantage is that online communication gives us the choice of replying quickly and allows us to edit (编辑) and improve our message.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages of online communication. Some experts are worried that having no face-to-face communication gets in the way of the development of important social skills. Also, the very nature of conversation is different in the virtual world. If short pieces of dialogue with emoticons (表情符号) replace longer direct conversation with emotions expressed on real faces, we’re running the risk of losing the art of real conversation.
On balance, I believe that online communication brings us advantages in today’s society. However, we should take care not to look down on the advantages of face-to-face dialogue.
1.Online communication makes it possible to people in different places around the world.
2.Families and friends staying far away from each other have chances to through online communication.
3.How many advantages of online communication are mentioned in the passage?
4.What will happen if there is no face-to-face communication?
5.Do you like online communication? Why or why not?
【答案】1.communicate with 2.keep in touch 3.Three. 4.It gets in the way of the development of important social skills. 5.Yes. Because it is convenient and helps me stay connected with people far away.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了在线交流的优缺点,并分析了其在现代社会中的适用性。
1.根据“Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world.”可知,在线交流使与世界各地的人沟通成为可能。故填communicate with。
2.根据“...it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day”可知,它为相隔遥远的家人和朋友提供了每天保持联系的机会。故填keep in touch。
3.根据“Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world.”,“What’s more, it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day.”和“Another advantage is that online communication gives us the choice of replying quickly and allows us to edit and improve our message.”可知,文中提到了三个优点,故填Three.
4.根据“...having no face-to-face communication gets in the way of the development of important social skills.”可知,缺乏面对面交流阻碍重要社交技能的发展。故填It gets in the way of the development of important social skills.
5.本题为开放性回答,合理即可。比如说喜欢,因为在线交流方便快捷,能帮助我与远方的人保持联系。故填Yes. Because it is convenient and helps me stay connected with people far away.

7. 阅读理解
A
Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also part of friendship. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible (负责的) for causing the arguments, it’s important that he should say sorry to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or talks to express your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have the greatest effect. This will make your friend realize that you really care about him/her.
Points to Remember
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.
Words: While you are writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.
Order: Always begin by saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him/her your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what the friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery(投递): You should either post the letter or deliver it personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a place where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Attention: Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. It may take time for the person to forgive(原谅) and forget.
1.Who should say sorry to his/her friend?
A.A responsible person. B.A person who stops fighting.
C.A person who needs friends. D.A person who starts the arguments.

Different Forms of Communication
In our daily lives, we communicate in different forms. One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication. When we talk to our friends, family, or teachers in person, we can see their facial (面部的) expressions, body language, and hear the tone of their voices. This helps us understand not only the words they say but also their emotions. For example, a big smile on someone’s face usually means they are happy. When we’re sharing exciting news with a friend over coffee, face-to-face communication makes the moment even more special.
Another form is communication through social media. Platforms like WeChat and QQ allow us to chat with people far away. We can share photos, videos, and ideas easily. However, we can’t see the real-time reactions of the other person. For example, when we post a funny story on WeChat Moments, we have to wait for likes and comments to know how others feel.
Phone calls are also popular. We can have a quick conversation when we are busy. But sometimes, it’s hard to express complex ideas over the phone. For example, when we need to explain a detailed plan to a colleague (同事), a phone call might not be enough.
In short, each form of communication has its own advantages (优点) and disadvantages. We should choose the right one according to different situations.
1.What is one of the most common forms of communication according to the passage?
A.Through social media. B.Through phone calls.
C.Face-to-face communication. D.By writing letters.
2.What can we understand from face-to-face communication?
A.Only the words people say. B.Emotions of people chatting with us.
C.The other person’s past experiences. D.The future plans of the speaker.
3.What does the underlined word “Platforms” mean in Para. 2?
A.Tools. B.Places. C.Appearances. D.Websites or apps.
4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.It’s very easy to express complex ideas through phone calls.
B.When we post something on Wechat Moment, we can know how others feel quickly.
C.If you want to talk with people far away, you can only use Platforms.
D.Each form of communication has its own advantages and disadvantages.
5.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.Phone calls are not useful at all at present (目前).
B.Social media is the best way to communicate.
C.We should only use face-to-face communication.
D.We should choose right communication forms by situations.
8. 任务型理解
In today’s world we find ourselves communicating more through online channels such as messaging, social media and video calls. There are certain situations where online communication is necessary but others where we choose a virtual (虚拟的) conversation over a real-life one. Is online communication preferable in today’s world?
To begin with, I’d like to talk about the advantages (优点) of online communication. Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world. This has many advantages in the workplace as meetings can take place through video conferencing (视频会议) among companies in Stockholm, San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for long and time-consuming (耗费时间的) business trips.
What’s more, it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day. Another advantage is that online communication gives us the choice of replying quickly and allows us to edit (编辑) and improve our message.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages of online communication. Some experts are worried that having no face-to-face communication gets in the way of the development of important social skills. Also, the very nature of conversation is different in the virtual world. If short pieces of dialogue with emoticons (表情符号) replace longer direct conversation with emotions expressed on real faces, we’re running the risk of losing the art of real conversation.
On balance, I believe that online communication brings us advantages in today’s society. However, we should take care not to look down on the advantages of face-to-face dialogue.
1.Online communication makes it possible to people in different places around the world.
2.Families and friends staying far away from each other have chances to through online communication.
3.How many advantages of online communication are mentioned in the passage?
4.What will happen if there is no face-to-face communication?
5.Do you like online communication? Why or why not?
