【Understanding ideas】
The Well that Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken (speak) by his teacher that many people in developing (develop) African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain(喷泉式饮水机). It was very close—only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get (get) water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money (赚钱) to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening (garden) for his family and neighbours. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told (tell) that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was (be) a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help (help) other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money(捐钱). At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public(为公众所知). After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful (gratitude) to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished (finish) well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted (delight) students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth (warm) filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile(突然笑了起来).
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation (基金会) to encourage more people to help. Many inspired (inspire) people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract (attract) support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?”. This insight (顿悟;醒悟) grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance (坚持不懈) to make his dream a reality.

The Power of Good
“The British Schindler”: the life of Nicholas Winton
It is August 1939, and a group of frightened (frighten) children are boarding a train at Prague’s Wilson Station. Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live (live). These are among the 669 children, most of them Jewish, that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis.
Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in London, to German-Jewish parents. The family later took British nationality. On leaving (leave) school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France. He returned to Britain in 1931, where he worked in business.
In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid (帮助) people who were escaping from the Nazis. In Prague, Winton saw people living (live) in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger. He decided to help transport children to safety (safe) in Britain. He established an office to keep records of (记录) the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary (临时的) homes for them. He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved (save) 669 children.
During World War II, Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the military (军队) in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various (variety) companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories.
That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten (forget) journal at home. The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses (address) of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked (shock) Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet(站起来). The programme brought his actions to public attention, and Winton became a respected (respect) figure around the world.
Later, Winton received various honours for his achievement(achieve), including a knighthood in 2003, and the Czech government’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion, in 2014.
Nicholas Winton passed away (去世) on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes, “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”

Part 2:重点句型
1. Why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?
为什么那里的水那么脏以至于让他们生病?
【句型核心】so...that... 用法
引导结果状语从句,表 “如此…… 以至于……”,强调主句的程度达到了引发从句结果的地步。
①基本结构:
◇修饰形容词 / 副词:so + 形容词 / 副词 + that 从句
例:The film is so moving that many people cry.
(这部电影如此感人,以至于很多人哭了。)
◇修饰可数名词单数:so + 形容词 + a/an + 可数名词单数 + that 从句
例:She is so kind a girl that everyone likes her.
(她是个如此善良的女孩,以至于所有人都喜欢她。)
◇修饰不可数名词 / 可数名词复数:so + many/much/few/little(表数量)+名词+ that 从句
例:There are so many people in the park that we can’t move freely.
(公园里人太多,以至于我们无法自由移动。)
②注意点:
that 从句为结果状语,逻辑上与主句存在 “程度→结果” 的关联;
否定句中可与 such...that... 转换,但结构不同(such 修饰名词短语),
如:He is so young that he can’t go to school.
= He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school.
2. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
他们需要的是一口在他们家附近挖的井。
【句型核心】what引导主语从句的核心用法
①引导词what的核心特点:
在从句中必须充当句子成分(主语、宾语、表语等),无实义,
需根据语境翻译为“……的人/东西/事情/时间/地点等”。
★对比辨析:that也可引导主语从句,
但that在从句中不充当任何成分,无实义,仅起连接作用。
例:That he passed the exam surprised everyone.
(that不充当成分,“他通过了考试这件事让所有人都惊讶”)
②常见句式拓展:
What + 主语 + 及物动词 = The thing(s) that + 主语 + 及物动词(可同义转换,帮助理解)
如原句中What they needed = The thing that they needed(“他们所需要的东西”)
★原句中从句的关键作用:原句用What they needed作主语,精准指代“他们所需的具体事物”,相比直接用名词作主语(如Their need was...),更能强调“所需的内容”,使表达更具体、逻辑更连贯。
③what引导主语从句,可置于句首,也可借助it作形式主语(避免句子头重脚轻),从句整体视为单数,谓语动词常用单数形式。
例:What matters most is honesty.(置于句首,“最重要的是诚实”);
It is uncertain what he will do next.(it作形式主语,“他接下来要做什么还不确定”)
3. On leaving school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France.
一离开学校,温顿就在德国和法国的银行工作。
【句型核心】on doing sth的用法
“介词on + 动名词doing”的结构,核心功能是作时间状语,upon doing与on doing含义和用法完全相同,更正式,多见于书面语。
例:Upon receiving the letter, she replied immediately.(“一收到信,她就立即回复了”)
该结构的含义等同于“As soon as + 主语 + 谓语(一般过去时)”或“Immediately after + 主语 + 谓语(一般过去时)”,强调“一……就……”“在……之后立即……”,动作的时间衔接紧密。
原句中 On leaving school = As soon as Winton left school(“一离开学校,温顿就……”)
◆具体用法规则
①若需明确动作的发出者,可在动名词前加形容词性物主代词或名词所有格
例:On his arriving at the station, the train started.
(他一到车站,火车就开了。)
②on doing 中的doing必须是短暂性动作(如leave, arrive, hear, see等),不能是持续性动作(如study, work, live等),因为“一……就……”的逻辑要求动作瞬间完成。
错误示例:On studying English for 5 years, he went abroad.
(study是持续性动作,应改为After studying English for 5 years)
③on doing 作时间状语时,其逻辑主语必须与主句的主语一致
(原句中leaving school的逻辑主语是Winton,与主句主语Winton一致)
错误示例:On leaving school, the sun was shining.
(leaving school的逻辑主语应是人,而非the sun,逻辑矛盾)
◆考点跟踪练习◆
请用括号内动词的适当形式填空。
1. (2024·浙江模拟)______ surprises us most is that he has finished the task ahead of schedule.
答案:What
解析:考查what引导的主语从句。句中“______ surprises us most”为主语从句,从句缺少主语,指代“令人惊讶的事情”,故用what引导;句首首字母大写,因此填What。
2. (2023·全国甲卷改编)It is clear ______ the government will take effective measures to solve the problem.
答案:that
解析:考查it作形式主语的主语从句。句中it为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的“the government will take effective measures to solve the problem”,从句结构完整、语义明确,需用that引导,that无实义仅起连接作用,故填that。
3. (2025·江苏模拟)The movie was ______ moving that many audience members couldn’t hold back their tears.
答案:so
解析:考查so...that...句型。根据空后形容词moving和从句“many audience members couldn’t hold back their tears”可知,此处为“so + 形容词 + that从句”结构,表“如此……以至于……”,故填so。
4. (2022·山东模拟)On ______ (arrive) at the airport, she was greeted by her family and friends.
答案:arriving
解析:考查on doing sth结构。on为介词,后接动名词作宾语,arrive的动名词形式为arriving;“On arriving at the airport”作时间状语,表“一到达机场就……”,故填arriving。
5. (2024·全国乙卷改编)______ he failed the exam again made his parents very disappointed.
答案:That
解析:考查that引导的主语从句。句中“______ he failed the exam again”为主语从句,从句结构完整、语义清晰,需用that引导,that无实义仅起连接作用;句首首字母大写,故填That。
6. (2023·广东模拟)It is uncertain ______ we can finish the project before the deadline.
答案:whether
解析:考查it作形式主语的主语从句。句中it为形式主语,真正主语是后面的从句;根据“uncertain”(不确定的)可知,从句表疑问含义,需用whether引导,表“是否”,故填whether。
7. (2025·湖北模拟)She is ______ a kind teacher that all her students love and respect her.
答案:such
解析:考查such...that...句型。根据空后“a kind teacher”(名词短语)和从句“all her students love and respect her”可知,此处为“such + a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数 + that从句”结构,表“如此……以至于……”,故填such。
8. (2022·全国新课标卷改编)On ______ (finish) his speech, the speaker received warm applause from the audience.
答案:finishing
解析:考查on doing sth结构。on为介词,后接动名词作宾语,finish的动名词形式为finishing;“On finishing his speech”作时间状语,表“一结束演讲就……”,故填finishing。
9. (2024·重庆模拟)______ we need most at present is enough time and resources.
答案:What
解析:考查what引导的主语从句。句中“______ we need most at present”为主语从句,从句缺少宾语,指代“我们目前最需要的东西”,故用what引导;句首首字母大写,因此填What。
10. (2023·天津模拟)There are ______ many people in the park that we can hardly find a place to sit.
答案:so
解析:考查so...that...句型。根据空后“many people”(many+可数名词复数)和从句“we can hardly find a place to sit”可知,此处为“so + many + 可数名词复数 + that从句”结构,表“如此多的……以至于……”,故填so。

10. (2021·四川成都模拟)The _______ (injure) people were sent to the hospital immediately after the accident.
答案:injured
解析:考查过去分词作定语。people与injure之间是被动关系,即“受伤的人”,过去分词injured作定语,表被动状态。
11. (2020·湖南长沙模拟)There is a _______ (flow) river at the foot of the mountain.
答案:flowing
解析:考查现在分词作定语。river与flow之间为主动关系,“流动的河流”体现河流主动进行的状态,故用现在分词flowing作定语。
12. (2019·安徽合肥模拟)The _______ (decorate) room looks more beautiful with the new furniture.
答案:decorated
解析:考查过去分词作定语。room与decorate之间是被动关系,即“被装饰过的房间”,过去分词decorated作定语,体现被动和完成的状态。
13. (2024·河南郑州模拟)The _______ (bark) dog outside the gate made the little girl feel scared.
答案:barking
解析:考查现在分词作定语。dog与bark之间为主动关系,且表示“正在叫的”进行状态,现在分词barking作定语修饰dog,符合语境。
14. (2023·陕西西安模拟)The _______ (collect) data will be used for further research on the project.
答案:collected
解析:考查过去分词作定语。data与collect之间是被动关系,即“被收集的数据”,过去分词collected作定语,体现被动和完成的含义。
15. (2022·福建福州模拟)The _______ (grow) crops in the field show a good harvest prospect.
答案:growing
解析:考查现在分词作定语。crops与grow之间为主动关系,且表示“正在生长的”进行状态,现在分词growing作定语修饰crops,体现主动进行的过程。

Unit 2 Making a difference
课文预习填空+重点单词+重点句型+语法讲解(寒假预习)
【Understanding ideas】
The Well that Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken (speak) by his teacher that many people in developing (develop) African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain(喷泉式饮水机). It was very close—only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get (get) water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money (赚钱) to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening (garden) for his family and neighbours. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told (tell) that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was (be) a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help (help) other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money(捐钱). At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public(为公众所知). After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful (gratitude) to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished (finish) well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted (delight) students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth (warm) filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile(突然笑了起来).
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation (基金会) to encourage more people to help. Many inspired (inspire) people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract (attract) support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?”. This insight (顿悟;醒悟) grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance (坚持不懈) to make his dream a reality.

The Power of Good
“The British Schindler”: the life of Nicholas Winton
It is August 1939, and a group of frightened (frighten) children are boarding a train at Prague’s Wilson Station. Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live (live). These are among the 669 children, most of them Jewish, that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis.
Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in London, to German-Jewish parents. The family later took British nationality. On leaving (leave) school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France. He returned to Britain in 1931, where he worked in business.
In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid (帮助) people who were escaping from the Nazis. In Prague, Winton saw people living (live) in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger. He decided to help transport children to safety (safe) in Britain. He established an office to keep records of (记录) the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary (临时的) homes for them. He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved (save) 669 children.
During World War II, Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the military (军队) in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various (variety) companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories.
That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten (forget) journal at home. The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses (address) of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked (shock) Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet(站起来). The programme brought his actions to public attention, and Winton became a respected (respect) figure around the world.
Later, Winton received various honours for his achievement(achieve), including a knighthood in 2003, and the Czech government’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion, in 2014.
Nicholas Winton passed away (去世) on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes, “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”

Part 2:重点句型
1. Why is the water ______ ________ ______ it makes them sick?
为什么那里的水那么脏以至于让他们生病?
【句型核心】so...that... 用法
引导结果状语从句,表 “如此…… 以至于……”,强调主句的程度达到了引发从句结果的地步。
①基本结构:
◇修饰形容词 / 副词:so + 形容词 / 副词 + that 从句
例:The film is so moving that many people cry.
(这部电影如此感人,以至于很多人哭了。)
◇修饰可数名词单数:so + 形容词 + a/an + 可数名词单数 + that 从句
例:She is so kind a girl that everyone likes her.
(她是个如此善良的女孩,以至于所有人都喜欢她。)
◇修饰不可数名词 / 可数名词复数:so + many/much/few/little(表数量)+名词+ that 从句
例:There are so many people in the park that we can’t move freely.
(公园里人太多,以至于我们无法自由移动。)
②注意点:
that 从句为结果状语,逻辑上与主句存在 “程度→结果” 的关联;
否定句中可与 such...that... 转换,但结构不同(such 修饰名词短语),
如:He is so young that he can’t go to school.
= He is such a young boy that he can’t go to school.
2. ______ ________ ______ was a well dug near their homes.
他们需要的是一口在他们家附近挖的井。
【句型核心】what引导主语从句的核心用法
①引导词what的核心特点:
在从句中必须充当句子成分(主语、宾语、表语等),无实义,
需根据语境翻译为“……的人/东西/事情/时间/地点等”。
★对比辨析:that也可引导主语从句,
但that在从句中不充当任何成分,无实义,仅起连接作用。
例:That he passed the exam surprised everyone.
(that不充当成分,“他通过了考试这件事让所有人都惊讶”)
②常见句式拓展:
What + 主语 + 及物动词 = The thing(s) that + 主语 + 及物动词(可同义转换,帮助理解)
如原句中What they needed = The thing that they needed(“他们所需要的东西”)
★原句中从句的关键作用:原句用What they needed作主语,精准指代“他们所需的具体事物”,相比直接用名词作主语(如Their need was...),更能强调“所需的内容”,使表达更具体、逻辑更连贯。
③what引导主语从句,可置于句首,也可借助it作形式主语(避免句子头重脚轻),从句整体视为单数,谓语动词常用单数形式。
例:What matters most is honesty.(置于句首,“最重要的是诚实”);
It is uncertain what he will do next.(it作形式主语,“他接下来要做什么还不确定”)
3. ______ __________ ________, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France.
一离开学校,温顿就在德国和法国的银行工作。
【句型核心】on doing sth的用法
“介词on + 动名词doing”的结构,核心功能是作时间状语,upon doing与on doing含义和用法完全相同,更正式,多见于书面语。
例:Upon receiving the letter, she replied immediately.(“一收到信,她就立即回复了”)
该结构的含义等同于“As soon as + 主语 + 谓语(一般过去时)”或“Immediately after + 主语 + 谓语(一般过去时)”,强调“一……就……”“在……之后立即……”,动作的时间衔接紧密。
原句中 On leaving school = As soon as Winton left school(“一离开学校,温顿就……”)
◆具体用法规则
①若需明确动作的发出者,可在动名词前加形容词性物主代词或名词所有格
例:On his arriving at the station, the train started.
(他一到车站,火车就开了。)
②on doing 中的doing必须是短暂性动作(如leave, arrive, hear, see等),不能是持续性动作(如study, work, live等),因为“一……就……”的逻辑要求动作瞬间完成。
错误示例:On studying English for 5 years, he went abroad.
(study是持续性动作,应改为After studying English for 5 years)
③on doing 作时间状语时,其逻辑主语必须与主句的主语一致
(原句中leaving school的逻辑主语是Winton,与主句主语Winton一致)
错误示例:On leaving school, the sun was shining.
(leaving school的逻辑主语应是人,而非the sun,逻辑矛盾)
