第5讲 8B Unit3课文预习&语法预习 内容导航 考点聚焦:归纳核心,有的放矢 重点速记:查漏补缺,即时巩固 复习提升:综合提升,全面突破 知识精讲 一、课文原文 Is There Such a Thing as a Free Lunch? Have you ever wished everything to be free? Imagine being able to walk into your favourite shop and take whatever you want without having to pay for it. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? But have you ever stopped to think about why everything isn’t free? According to economists, our society depends on trading goods and services for money. People use their time and talents to produce goods and services for the exchange of money so that our society can keep running smoothly. If everything is free, people won’t get paid for their work. Think about it: farmers grow the food. When you buy it, they get paid for their hard work. If the food is free, farmers won’t have the money to keep growing crops and then you won’t have the chance to see and value their hard work. Although most things aren’t free, you may still come across free things from time to time. For example, many shops offer free samples of food and other products. You can also find free events and activities in shopping centres, such as concerts, festivals and films. But are these things really free? Economists will say no! In fact, they will probably reply with a well-known saying: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” According to them, when something is offered for free, there is still a hidden cost even if it’s not in the form of money. It might be exciting to imagine a world where everything is free. However, economists will tell you it is impossible to have a completely “free lunch”. Instead of trying to get everything for free, you might find it more valuable to appreciate the hard work of others and make better choices in your life. 二、词汇精讲 1. depend /dɪˈpend/v. 依靠;依赖;取决于 搭配:depend on sb./sth. 依靠某人/某物;depend on doing sth. 依赖做某事;depend on trade 依赖贸易 词转:dependent adj. 依赖的;依靠的(反义词:independent 独立的);dependence n. 依赖;依靠 例句:Our daily lives depend on the hard work of farmers. 翻译练习: 项目的成功取决于天气状况。 _____________________________________________________________________ 2. smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/ adv. 顺利地;平稳地 搭配:run smoothly 顺利运转;go smoothly 进展顺利;operate smoothly 平稳运行 词转:smooth adj. 顺利的;光滑的 例句:With good planning, the project ran smoothly. 翻译练习: 有了合理的规则,交通才能平稳运行。 _____________________________________________________________________ 3. hidden /ˈhɪdn/ adj. 隐藏的;隐蔽的 搭配:hidden cost 隐藏成本;hidden danger 隐藏危险;hidden problem 隐藏问题 词转:hide v. 隐藏;hiding n. 躲藏 例句:Free samples often have hidden costs for the shop. 翻译练习: 这个计划里有一些隐藏的问题。 _____________________________________________________________________ 4. appreciate /əˈpriːʃieɪt/ v. 感激;欣赏 搭配:appreciate sb.’s hard work 感激某人的努力;appreciate sth. 欣赏某物;appreciate the value 欣赏价值 词转:appreciation n. 感激;欣赏 例句:We should appreciate the efforts of people who provide goods and services. 翻译练习: 我非常感谢你的帮助。 _____________________________________________________________________ 5. whatever /wɒtˈevə(r)/ pron. 任何事物;无论什么 搭配:take whatever you want 拿你想要的任何事物;whatever happens 无论发生什么 例句:You can choose whatever you like from the shelf. 翻译练习: 无论遇到什么困难,我们都应该坚持下去。 _____________________________________________________________________ 6. economics /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪks/ n. 经济学 搭配:study economics 学习经济学;principles of economics 经济学原理 词转:economist n. 经济学家 例句:He is interested in economics and wants to be a researcher. 翻译练习: 这门课会教我们基础的经济学知识。 _____________________________________________________________________ 7. economist /ɪˈkɒnəmɪst/ n. 经济学家 搭配:famous economist 著名经济学家;opinions of economists 经济学家的观点 词转:economics n. 经济学 例句:Many economists agree that trade helps the economy. 翻译练习: 这位经济学家发表了关于社会发展的新研究。 _____________________________________________________________________ 8. society /səˈsaɪəti/ n. 社会 搭配:modern society 现代社会;benefit society 造福社会;depend on society 依赖社会 词转:social adj. 社会的 例句:Our society needs people who work hard. 翻译练习: 好的教育对社会很重要。 _____________________________________________________________________ 9. trade /treɪd/ v. 互相交换;n. 贸易;交易 搭配:trade A for B 用A交换B;international trade 国际贸易;trade goods 交易商品 词转:trader n. 交易者 例句:Farmers trade their crops for daily supplies. 翻译练习: 两国之间的贸易让商品更丰富了。 _____________________________________________________________________ 10. exchange /ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ n. 交换;交流 搭配:in exchange for 作为……的交换;exchange of ideas 思想交流;free exchange 自由交换 词转:exchange v. 交换 例句:We gave them our books in exchange for their toys. 翻译练习: 语言交换能帮助我们提高外语水平。 _____________________________________________________________________ 11. goods /ɡʊdz/ n.

Among the 250 million people who get sick because of water pollution, 5 to 10 million of them die. As water pollution is getting more and more 21 , nobody on the Earth should still relax and do nothing about it. Some of us are used to pouring sewage and harmful chemicals into rivers and lakes, and others throw 22 into them. So, many rivers, lakes and seas have become the home of cans, bottles, glass and plastics. It’s time for us to stop doing that. We should also try not to use 23 . If necessary, use as few as possible. At the same time, we should try to use other ways to kill weeds and bugs. For example, we can pull weeds by hand. Pet waste pollutes our water, too. So we need to put pet waste in the garbage bag. Technology can be used to prevent water pollution. Building sewage treatment plants is a good way of returning water to a river without causing pollution.

Nobody else wanted them, but he knew what they were—coffee beans. With these beans, he opened the first coffee house in Vienna. Since the Viennese preferred tea at that time, the clever Polish man 27 cream and sugar to improve the bitter taste of coffee. Quickly, this smooth-tasting coffee was so popular that coffee houses soon opened 28 the city. Perhaps that’s just a legend, but every Viennese learns it at school. Many coffee houses even say that they are the one the Polish man first opened. As perfect places for lively discussions, they attract many artists and thinkers, 29 the tourists.

Wiley led the famous “Poison Squad” experiment, which showed the dangers of uncontrolled food additives (添加剂) and made people realize the importance of knowing what was in the food they bought. However, it wasn’t until almost 90 years later that a law asked companies to display what was really 86 the boxes, cans, and bags in American grocery stores. Then, consumers (消费者) had clear information to help them make healthier choices. Today, it’s hard to imagine walking around a supermarket without these labels. Yet when we browse the internet—another necessary marketplace in our lives—there is 87 information about what we are “consuming” with each click. We're taking in huge amounts of digital information, often without any idea of its “nutritional” content. Just like nutrition labels (营养标签) that help you make better choices about what enters your body, content labels can help you take control of what gets into your 88 . This will reduce harmful behavior such as useless surfing and time wasted on meaningless browsing. With social media platforms under attack for creating bad feelings, a content labeling system could offer users a much-needed tool to make healthier digital choices. 89 , U. S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recently suggested warning labels for online platforms. Much like cigarette packages, they should tell users about the 90 of browsing harmful content. What’s more, that’s not enough—we also need instructions. Content labels provide those. They offer a way for users to control their “diets” on the Internet. With the help of these tools, we could 91 content labels before diving into a news article or blog post. 86.A.on B.inside C.outside D.under 87.A.many B.much C.little D.few 88.A.heart B.mouth C.action D.mind 89.A.In fact B.However C.In a word D.After all 90.A.advantages B.risks C.reasons D.uses 91.A.follow B.create C.check D.notice When is bedtime? If you don’t have a phone or a watch, don’t worry. Every living thing has a built-in clock that 92 the sun. For a long time, people thought daylight tells animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded (折叠) up at night, but when he put it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still folded and unfolded 93 . He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the daily cycle. Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They 94 help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things stay in line with the sun’s light. Every cell in our body has its own tiny clock, but the brain has a main controller that keeps them working together. Like the mimosa plant, our clock counts time in 95 , but it also reacts to light. Humans have a special light sensor (传感器) at the back of the eye. These cells help signal when it’s bright or getting dark. The master clock then sends “ 96 ” or “sleep” signals to all your cells. This sensor helps reset our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel 97 at the wrong times. Your body’s clock gets out of line with the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch—your inner clock runs on sun time. 92.A.follows B.attracts C.shuts D.changes 93.A.in a hurry B.at once C.by chance D.as usual 94.A.only B.even C.rarely D.simply 95.A.silence B.coldness C.darkness D.blindness 96.A.wake up B.stay up C.get up D.speak up 97.A.surprised B.bored C.tired D.excited Stephen Hawkins was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St. Albans——a small city near London. Although he did well, he was 98 top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). As he himself 99 , he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed 100 was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was 101 she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move 102 the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking became very sad, after a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very 103 life. There not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research. Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, 104 bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.” 98.A.always B.possibly C.never D.also 99.A.allows B.admits C.declares D.makes sure 100.A.something B.anything C.everything D.nothing 101.A.too worried to B.so worried that C.worried enough that D.not worried enough to 102.A.except B.besides C.with D.without 103.A.positive about B.familiar to C.interested in D.bored with 104.A.no matter how B.no matter what C.no matter when D.no matter My father told me that there used to be a forest near our town. But the farmer who owned the forest 105 trees every year until one year, there were no trees left. One day, our teacher took us out and we had a 106 in the field where the forest used to be. While eating and drinking, we talked about the beautiful forest we once had. One of my classmates comes from a tribe (部落) that lived in the west of our country. He told us what he thought about the change. “It makes me really 107 to learn that a forest has disappeared. My people have taught me to always think seven generations in the future. That’s to say, when we do something to the land, we should 108 hurt it. We must care about nature and leave it good enough for later generations.” When we heard what he said, we kept 109 first. “Let’s plant some trees!” said our teacher after a moment. “It will be a good start!” So that’s what we did. For the rest of the spring, we worked hard and we planted thousands of trees. That was five years ago. Today, when I stand in that field which was once empty, I see trees as tall as I am.

It helps us understand each other better and solve problems more easily. Here are some useful tips to improve your communication skills.   First, always be a good 111 . When someone is speaking, avoid interrupting them. Instead, focus on their words and show that you care by nodding or saying “I see.” This makes the speaker feel valued.   Second, use simple and clear language. For example, instead of saying “I am experiencing dissatisfaction,” you could say “I’m unhappy with this.” Being direct helps everyone understand your 112 .   Third, pay attention to body language. Smiling and keeping eye contact show that you are friendly. On the other hand, crossing your arms might make you look 113 . A relaxed posture helps others trust you.   Fourth, ask questions when you don’t understand something. Saying “Could you explain that again?” is better than pretending to know. Questions also let the speaker know you are 114 in the conversation.   Finally, always respect different opinions. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but you should listen patiently. For instance, if a friend says, “I think summer is the worst season,” you could reply, “That’s interesting! Why do you think so?” This opens a deeper 115 .   Remember, communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about connecting. With practice, you’ll find it easier to share ideas and 116 strong relationships. 111.A.speaker B.listener C.player D.actor 112.A.feelings B.mistakes C.hobbies D.decisions 113.A.confident B.polite C.impatient D.excited 114.A.lost B.worried C.surprised D.interested 115.A.secret B.problem C.discussion D.competition 116.A.forget B.avoid C.build D.break 六、回答问题 Reading with the Fingertips (指尖) Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. When he was three, he injured an eye in an accident in his father’s workshop. Within a year he couldn’t see anything. When he was ten, he was sent to a school for the blind. Students there learned by listening to their teachers. One day, a visitor came to the school. His name was Charles Barbier. He was to have a great influence on Louis. Louis was then twelve years old. Charles Barbier had invented a new way of writing. This writing was designed to be used at night. People could read it without showing a light. Charles hoped the head of the school whose students lived their lives in darkness could use his way of writing. Louis Braille stood out among those students. His mind was quick. He was eager to learn. The head of the school invited him to meet the visitor. Charles began to show how his writing worked. Louis’s interest was aroused. Charles took a sheet of thick paper. Using a pointed instrument, he punched a series of holes to make raised dots (点) on the other side of the paper. These dots were grouped together in cells (单元格). The cells could be placed in any of twelve positions. Each group stood for a different sound. By running a fingertip over them, a person could read a message. Louis was excited by Charles’s invention. But he knew that it needed to be simpler. Instead of twelve positions for each unit, he decided to work with six. This let a reader make sense of the raised dots more quickly and easily. Louis remained at the school all his life. He taught there. He also helped to print books that used his method. Louis was a very good musician. He showed people how to write music in his way. Louis Braille played a part in changing forever the way blind people read. Because of what he completed, people everywhere who cannot see are no longer limited by blindness. 117.What happened to Louis Braille when he was three? _____________________________________________________________________ 118.Who invented a new way of writing? _____________________________________________________________________ 119.How did Louis Braille make Charles’s invention simpler? _____________________________________________________________________ 120.What do you think of Louis Braille?

The 26-year-old student from the US has started a project called the Chip Bag Project. He is asking local snack lovers to do something helpful, “Don’t throw your empty chip bags away. Give them to me or other volunteers so that we can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.” Chip eaters can drop off their empty chip bags at two places: a print shop and a clothing store. After the volunteers collect the chip bags, they clean them, smooth them out, and iron (熨烫) them together. It takes about four hours to make such a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags. And it is a big help to some homeless people. Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal (目标) for Oleita. He wants to make a difference to the world not only socially, but also environmentally. Problems like environmental pollution and poverty (贫困) often go hand in hand. Oleita says it is time to solve the problems at the same time. 121.What can snack lovers do to help the Chip Bag Project? _____________________________________________________________________ 122.Where can people leave chip bags for the Chip Bag Project? _____________________________________________________________________ 123.How do volunteers make sleeping bags with chip bags? _____________________________________________________________________ 124.When did the Chip Bag Project start? _____________________________________________________________________ 125.What’s Oleita’s goal? _____________________________________________________________________ 19 / 21 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $ 第5讲 8B Unit3课文预习&语法预习 内容导航 考点聚焦:归纳核心,有的放矢 重点速记:查漏补缺,即时巩固 复习提升:综合提升,全面突破 知识精讲 一、课文原文 Is There Such a Thing as a Free Lunch? Have you ever wished everything to be free? Imagine being able to walk into your favourite shop and take whatever you want without having to pay for it. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? But have you ever stopped to think about why everything isn’t free? According to economists, our society depends on trading goods and services for money. People use their time and talents to produce goods and services for the exchange of money so that our society can keep running smoothly. If everything is free, people won’t get paid for their work. Think about it: farmers grow the food. When you buy it, they get paid for their hard work. If the food is free, farmers won’t have the money to keep growing crops and then you won’t have the chance to see and value their hard work. Although most things aren’t free, you may still come across free things from time to time. For example, many shops offer free samples of food and other products. You can also find free events and activities in shopping centres, such as concerts, festivals and films. But are these things really free? Economists will say no! In fact, they will probably reply with a well-known saying: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” According to them, when something is offered for free, there is still a hidden cost even if it’s not in the form of money. It might be exciting to imagine a world where everything is free. However, economists will tell you it is impossible to have a completely “free lunch”. Instead of trying to get everything for free, you might find it more valuable to appreciate the hard work of others and make better choices in your life. 二、词汇精讲 1. depend /dɪˈpend/v. 依靠;依赖;取决于 搭配:depend on sb./sth. 依靠某人/某物;depend on doing sth. 依赖做某事;depend on trade 依赖贸易 词转:dependent adj. 依赖的;依靠的(反义词:independent 独立的);dependence n. 依赖;依靠 例句:Our daily lives depend on the hard work of farmers. 翻译练习: 项目的成功取决于天气状况。 _____________________________________________________________________ The success of the project depends on the weather. 2. smoothly /ˈsmuːðli/ adv. 顺利地;平稳地 搭配:run smoothly 顺利运转;go smoothly 进展顺利;operate smoothly 平稳运行 词转:smooth adj. 顺利的;光滑的 例句:With good planning, the project ran smoothly. 翻译练习: 有了合理的规则,交通才能平稳运行。 _____________________________________________________________________ With reasonable rules, traffic can run smoothly. 3. hidden /ˈhɪdn/ adj. 隐藏的;隐蔽的 搭配:hidden cost 隐藏成本;hidden danger 隐藏危险;hidden problem 隐藏问题 词转:hide v. 隐藏;hiding n. 躲藏 例句:Free samples often have hidden costs for the shop. 翻译练习: 这个计划里有一些隐藏的问题。 _____________________________________________________________________ There are some hidden problems in this plan. 4. appreciate /əˈpriːʃieɪt/ v. 感激;欣赏 搭配:appreciate sb.’s hard work 感激某人的努力;appreciate sth. 欣赏某物;appreciate the value 欣赏价值 词转:appreciation n. 感激;欣赏 例句:We should appreciate the efforts of people who provide goods and services. 翻译练习: 我非常感谢你的帮助。 _____________________________________________________________________ I appreciate your help very much. 5. whatever /wɒtˈevə(r)/ pron. 任何事物;无论什么 搭配:take whatever you want 拿你想要的任何事物;whatever happens 无论发生什么 例句:You can choose whatever you like from the shelf. 翻译练习: 无论遇到什么困难,我们都应该坚持下去。 _____________________________________________________________________ Whatever difficulties we meet, we should keep going. 6. economics /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪks/ n. 经济学 搭配:study economics 学习经济学;principles of economics 经济学原理 词转:economist n. 经济学家 例句:He is interested in economics and wants to be a researcher. 翻译练习: 这门课会教我们基础的经济学知识。 _____________________________________________________________________ This course will teach us basic knowledge of economics. 7. economist /ɪˈkɒnəmɪst/ n. 经济学家 搭配:famous economist 著名经济学家;opinions of economists 经济学家的观点 词转:economics n. 经济学 例句:Many economists agree that trade helps the economy. 翻译练习: 这位经济学家发表了关于社会发展的新研究。 _____________________________________________________________________ This economist published new research on social development. 8. society /səˈsaɪəti/ n. 社会 搭配:modern society 现代社会;benefit society 造福社会;depend on society 依赖社会 词转:social adj. 社会的 例句:Our society needs people who work hard. 翻译练习: 好的教育对社会很重要。 _____________________________________________________________________ Good education is very important to society. 9. trade /treɪd/ v. 互相交换;n. 贸易;交易 搭配:trade A for B 用A交换B;international trade 国际贸易;trade goods 交易商品 词转:trader n. 交易者 例句:Farmers trade their crops for daily supplies. 翻译练习: 两国之间的贸易让商品更丰富了。 _____________________________________________________________________ Trade between the two countries makes goods richer. 10. exchange /ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ n. 交换;交流 搭配:in exchange for 作为……的交换;exchange of ideas 思想交流;free exchange 自由交换 词转:exchange v. 交换 例句:We gave them our books in exchange for their toys. 翻译练习: 语言交换能帮助我们提高外语水平。 _____________________________________________________________________ Language exchange can help us improve our foreign language skills. 11. goods /ɡʊdz/ n.

Though:even if与though都可引导让步状语从句,意为“即使”,可互换。 5. be appreciated:含情态动词的被动语态结构是“情态动词 + be + 过去分词”;appreciate的过去分词是appreciated。 (三)选词填空(六选五) 从方框中选择合适的词/短语,并用其适当形式填空,每词/短语限用一次,有一项多余。 depend on, society, valuable, saying, cost, complete Have you ever heard the well-known 1. ________ “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”?

C:解析:根据课文最后一句“you might find it more valuable to appreciate the hard work of others and make better choices in your life”,文章告诉我们要感激他人的辛勤付出,故选C。 (五)阅读填表题 根据课文内容,完成表格(每空不超过4个词)。 Aspect(方面) Key Information(关键信息) Reason for no free things 1.

Appreciate:根据课文最后一句“it’s more valuable to appreciate the hard work of others”,作者的建议是“感激”他人的辛勤工作,句首首字母大写,填Appreciate。 (六)口语复述练习【自由发挥】 Many people wish everything could be free, like taking whatever they want from shops without paying. But according to economists, this can’t happen. Our society depends on trading goods and services for money, which helps it run smoothly. If all things were free, people wouldn’t get paid for their work, and farmers, for example, couldn’t keep growing crops. We might sometimes come across free things in life, such as free samples from shops or free events like concerts. But these aren’t really free — there’s always a hidden cost, even if it’s not money. This is why there’s a famous saying: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” In the end, instead of trying to get everything for free, we should appreciate the hard work of people who provide goods and services. This is more valuable and helps us make better choices in life. 知识精讲 四、语法 (一)条件状语从句(if 引导) 1. 定义 由if引导的从句,表达 “如果……,就会……” 的条件与结果关系,分为 “真实条件句”(描述可能发生的情况)。 2. 课文例句解析 条件(if 从句) 结果(主句) 说明 If everything is free people won’t get paid for their work 主将从现:从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时 If the food is free farmers won’t have the money to keep growing crops 同样遵循 “主将从现” 规则 (二)目的状语从句(so that / in order that) 1. 定义 两者均引导目的状语从句,表达“为了……、以便……”,说明主句动作发生的目的(即做某事是为了达成某个结果)。 2. 共同用法 •从句中常搭配情态动词(can/could, will/would, may/might等),表“能够、可以”达成目的; •主句与从句之间无需逗号分隔。 例句: He learned to boil eggs in order that he might cook breakfast for his family. 3.同义替换) 目的状语从句(so that / in order that)可替换为“介词短语+不定式”结构,核心是“保留目的含义,简化句子结构”,具体替换方式如下: ①替换为 in order to do sth.(最通用,可前置/后置) 规则:去掉从句引导词(so that / in order that)和从句主语,将从句中的“情态动词+动词原形”改为“in order to + 动词原形”。 原句(so that):She buys fresh eggs so that she can make egg soup. 同义句:She buys fresh eggs in order to make egg soup.(她买新鲜鸡蛋是为了做蛋汤。) 原句(in order that):He boils eggs in order that he might feed his pet. 同义句:He boils eggs in order to feed his pet.(他煮鸡蛋是为了喂宠物。) ②替换为 to do sth.(简洁版,只能后置) 规则:语气更简洁,直接用“to + 动词原形”替换从句,用法和in order to do sth.(后置)一致。 原句:We store eggs properly so that they can keep fresh. 同义句:We store eggs properly to keep fresh.(我们正确储存鸡蛋以保持新鲜。) ③替换为 so as to do sth.(只能后置,不用于句首) 规则:用法与to do sth. 基本一致,语气稍正式,不可放在句首。 原句:She learns to fry eggs so that she can pass the cooking exam. 同义句:She learns to fry eggs so as to pass the cooking exam.(她学煎鸡蛋是为了通过烹饪考试。) 替换注意点: 当主句主语与从句主语一致时,才能用上述“介词短语+不定式”替换;若主语不一致,不可替换,只能用从句。 例:He bought more eggs so that his sister could make cakes.(主句主语he,从句主语his sister,不可替换) 好题精练 请将下列中文句子翻译成英文,用括号内指定的结构(可合理添加情态动词)。 1. 她早起去买鸡蛋,以便能买到最新鲜的。(用so that) _____________________________________________________________________ 2. 为了不让鸡蛋破碎,他把鸡蛋放在泡沫盒里。(用in order that,从句前置) _____________________________________________________________________ 3. 妈妈煮了很多鸡蛋,为了分给邻居们。(用in order to do sth.) _____________________________________________________________________ 4. 我们应该把鸡蛋和洋葱分开放,以免串味。(用so as to do sth.,提示:串味→mix flavors) _____________________________________________________________________ 5. 他学习做茶叶蛋,以便在早餐店售卖。(用so that) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案及解析】 1. She gets up early to buy eggs so that she can buy the freshest ones.解析:“早起去买鸡蛋”是主句She gets up early to buy eggs;“以便能买到最新鲜的”是目的从句,用so that引导,从句主语与主句一致(she),搭配情态动词can,“最新鲜的”用the freshest ones指代the freshest eggs,避免重复。 2. In order that the eggs won’t break, he puts them in a foam box.解析:要求用in order that且从句前置,故先写从句In order that the eggs won’t break(为了不让鸡蛋破碎),从句后加逗号,再写主句he puts them in a foam box;“破碎”用break,“泡沫盒”用foam box。 3. Mom boiled a lot of eggs in order to share them with the neighbors.解析:要求用in order to do sth.,“煮了很多鸡蛋”是主句Mom boiled a lot of eggs(用一般过去时,符合语境);“为了分给邻居们”用in order to share them with the neighbors,share sth. with sb. 是固定搭配。 4. We should put eggs and onions separately so as not to mix flavors.解析:要求用so as to do sth.,“把鸡蛋和洋葱分开放”是主句We should put eggs and onions separately;“以免串味”表否定目的,用so as not to mix flavors(so as to do sth. 的否定形式是so as not to do sth.)。 5. He learns to make tea eggs so that he can sell them in the breakfast shop.解析:要求用so that,“学习做茶叶蛋”是主句He learns to make tea eggs;“以便在早餐店售卖”是目的从句so that he can sell them in the breakfast shop,从句主语与主句一致,用them指代tea eggs。 综合提升练 一、单项选择 1.Linda raised her voice ________ we could hear her clearly.

Also ads should not show 46 behaviour because minors may copy them. 【答案】41.D 42.A 43.G 44.C 45.F 46.B 【导语】本文是两则新闻报道,第一则讲述了英格兰部分地区的议会决定在午夜后关闭路灯,第二则讲述了政府正在对《广告法》进行修改,并已形成草案。 41.句意:据英国广播公司 (BBC) 12 月 22 日报道,英格兰约四分之三的县和行政区的议会已决定在午夜后关闭路灯。根据“have”和“to switch off their street lights after midnight”可知此处应用备选词汇decided构成decide to do sth表示“决定做某事”。故填D。 42.句意:据英国广播公司 (BBC) 12 月 22 日报道,英格兰约四分之三的县和行政区的议会已决定在午夜后关闭路灯。根据“a BBC report”可知此处应用备选词汇according to表示“根据”。故填A。 43.句意:议会应该更多地关注低能耗照明,而不是关闭路灯。根据上文“to switch off their street lights”可知此处应用备选词汇turning构成动词短语turn off表示“关闭”。故填G。 44.句意:政府正在对《广告法》进行修改,并已形成草案。根据“making changes to the Advertisement Law”可知应用备选词汇government表示“政府”正在对《广告法》进行修改。故填C。 45.句意:政府正在对《广告法》进行修改,并已形成草案。根据“a draft”可知此处应用备选词汇worked out表示“形成”草案。故填F。 46.句意:此外,广告不应显示不安全行为,因为未成年人可能会复制它们。根据“because minors may copy them”可知,未成年人会模仿,因此不应显示不安全行为,备选词汇unsafe符合语境。故填B。 三、句型转换 47.People plant trees in order to have a green environment. (保持句义不变) People plant trees they can have a green environment. 【答案】so that 【详解】句意:人们种树是为了拥有一个绿色的环境。原句中“in order to”表示目的,可以替换为“so that”,引导目的状语从句。故填so;that。 48.Linda got up early so that she could get to the meeting hall on time.(改为简单句) Linda got up early in get to the meeting hall on time. 【答案】order to 【详解】句意:Linda起床起得早是为了她能准时到达会议厅。so that“以便,目的是”,引导目的状语从句,要求改为简单句的话,可以用in order to do来表目的。故填order;to。 49.I made an early start in order to catch the train. (保持句意不变) I made an early start I catch the train. 【答案】so that could 【详解】句意:为了赶火车,我提前出发了。根据句子可知,in order to“为了”的同义短语为so that;又根据句意可知,第三空应填情态动词can“能够”,又因为本句时态为一般过去时,故填can的过去式could。故填so;that;could。 50.He got up early in order to catch the first bus. (句意不变) He got up early he could catch the first bus. 【答案】so that 【详解】句意:为了赶上第一班公共汽车,他起得很早。in order to表示目的,可改为用短语so that引导目的状语从句的同义句,表示“为了;以便”。故填so;that。 51.Tell him the truth at once, or he will be angry. (改为if引导的条件句) don’t tell him the truth at once, he will be angry. 【答案】If you 【详解】句意:马上告诉他真相,否则他会生气的。此处可改为“如果你不马上告诉他真相”,他会生气的”,用if引导条件状语从句,从句主语是you。故填If;you。 52.You must start early, or you’ll miss the train. you start early, you will miss the train. 【答案】If don’t 【详解】句意:你必须早点开始,否则你将会错过火车。“or”引导的并列从句,表示否定的条件,改为if引导的从句时,条件用否定,且主将从现,结合“start”可知否定句借助don’t。故填If;don’t。 53.Study hard. Then you will pass the test. (合并) study hard, you will pass the test. 【答案】If you 【详解】句意:努力学习。然后你就会通过测试。原句可改为if引导的条件状语从句,从句主语是you“你”。故填If;you。 54.Put on the glasses, and you’ll see more clearly. (改为同义句) you don’t put on the glasses, you see more clearly. 【答案】If won’t 【详解】句意:戴上眼镜,你就能看得更清楚了。原句是“戴上眼镜,你会看得更清楚”,转换为否定的条件状语从句,就是“如果你不戴上眼镜,你就不会看得更清楚”。if引导条件状语从句时,遵循“主将从现”原则,从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时的否定形式won’t。故填If;won’t。 55.Get up early, or you will be late for the meeting.(改为同义句) you get up early, you will be late for the meeting. 【答案】If don’t 【详解】句意:早点起床,否则你开会会迟到。此处可表述为“如果你不起早,你开会就会迟到”,if“如果”,引导条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,主语为“you”,第二个空应用don’t,构成否定句。故填If;don’t。 四、补全对话 根据对话内容,从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A: Hi, Tina.

Wiley led the famous “Poison Squad” experiment, which showed the dangers of uncontrolled food additives (添加剂) and made people realize the importance of knowing what was in the food they bought. However, it wasn’t until almost 90 years later that a law asked companies to display what was really 86 the boxes, cans, and bags in American grocery stores. Then, consumers (消费者) had clear information to help them make healthier choices. Today, it’s hard to imagine walking around a supermarket without these labels. Yet when we browse the internet—another necessary marketplace in our lives—there is 87 information about what we are “consuming” with each click. We're taking in huge amounts of digital information, often without any idea of its “nutritional” content. Just like nutrition labels (营养标签) that help you make better choices about what enters your body, content labels can help you take control of what gets into your 88 . This will reduce harmful behavior such as useless surfing and time wasted on meaningless browsing. With social media platforms under attack for creating bad feelings, a content labeling system could offer users a much-needed tool to make healthier digital choices. 89 , U. S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recently suggested warning labels for online platforms. Much like cigarette packages, they should tell users about the 90 of browsing harmful content. What’s more, that’s not enough—we also need instructions. Content labels provide those. They offer a way for users to control their “diets” on the Internet. With the help of these tools, we could 91 content labels before diving into a news article or blog post. 86.A.on B.inside C.outside D.under 87.A.many B.much C.little D.few 88.A.heart B.mouth C.action D.mind 89.A.In fact B.However C.In a word D.After all 90.A.advantages B.risks C.reasons D.uses 91.A.follow B.create C.check D.notice 【答案】86.B 87.C 88.D 89.A 90.B 91.C 【导语】本文主要介绍了早期美国通过实验推动食品标签立法,如今类比这一做法,提出网络也需内容标签帮用户了解数字信息、做出健康上网选择,美国卫生局局长也有相关建议。 86.句意:然而,直到近90年后,才有一项法律要求企业标明美国杂货店售卖的盒装、罐装和袋装食品内部真正所含的成分。 on在……上面;inside在……内部;outside在……外面;under在……下面。根据“knowing what was in the food they bought”以及“the boxes, cans, and bags”可知,此处需表达“食品包装内部”的含义。故选B。 87.句意:然而,当我们浏览互联网——我们生活中另一个必需的“市场”时,关于每次点击所“消费”的内容,我们几乎没有信息可参考。 many许多,修饰可数名词复数;much许多,修饰不可数名词;little几乎没有,修饰不可数名词;few几乎没有,修饰可数名词复数。根据“We're taking in huge amounts of digital information, often without any idea of its ‘nutritional’ content”可知,此处强调“关于数字内容的信息匮乏”,且“information”为不可数名词。故选C。 88.句意:就像营养标签帮助你更好地选择进入身体的食物一样,内容标签可以帮助你掌控进入大脑的信息。 heart心脏;mouth嘴巴;action行动;mind大脑、思维。根据“digital information”以及“what gets into”可知,数字信息是被大脑接收和处理的,mind“大脑”符合语境。故选D。 89.句意:事实上,美国卫生局局长维韦克·穆尔西博士最近建议为网络平台设置警示标签。 In fact事实上;However然而;In a word总而言之;After all毕竟。前文提出“内容标签能帮助用户做出更健康的数字选择”,后文用美国卫生局局长的建议作为具体实例支撑该观点,“In fact”可用于进一步补充事实、强化观点。故选A。 90.句意:就像香烟包装一样,这些标签应该告知用户浏览有害内容的风险。 advantages优势;risks风险;reasons原因;uses用途。根据“warning labels”以及“cigarette packages”可知,警示标签的核心作用是提醒 “危害”,risks“风险”符合“警示”的语境。故选B。 91.句意:在这些工具的帮助下,我们可以在深入阅读一篇新闻报道或博客文章之前,查看内容标签。 follow跟随;create创造;check查看、核对;notice注意到。根据“content labels can help you take control of...”以及“before diving into a news article or blog post”可知,用户需先 “主动查看” 标签信息,才能基于信息做出选择,“check”强调“有意识地核实、查看”,符合语境。故选C。 When is bedtime? If you don’t have a phone or a watch, don’t worry. Every living thing has a built-in clock that 92 the sun. For a long time, people thought daylight tells animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded (折叠) up at night, but when he put it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still folded and unfolded 93 . He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the daily cycle. Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They 94 help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things stay in line with the sun’s light. Every cell in our body has its own tiny clock, but the brain has a main controller that keeps them working together. Like the mimosa plant, our clock counts time in 95 , but it also reacts to light. Humans have a special light sensor (传感器) at the back of the eye. These cells help signal when it’s bright or getting dark. The master clock then sends “ 96 ” or “sleep” signals to all your cells. This sensor helps reset our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel 97 at the wrong times. Your body’s clock gets out of line with the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch—your inner clock runs on sun time. 92.A.follows B.attracts C.shuts D.changes 93.A.in a hurry B.at once C.by chance D.as usual 94.A.only B.even C.rarely D.simply 95.A.silence B.coldness C.darkness D.blindness 96.A.wake up B.stay up C.get up D.speak up 97.A.surprised B.bored C.tired D.excited 【答案】92.A 93.D 94.B 95.C 96.A 97.C 【导语】本文围绕生物钟与太阳的关系展开说明。 92.句意:每个生物都有一个内置的时钟,它跟随太阳转动。 follows跟随;attracts吸引;shuts关;changes改变。根据“Every living thing has a built-in clock that…the sun.”可知,应该说生物钟“跟随”太阳的规律,follows符合语境。故选A。 93.句意:这种植物的叶子在晚上会折叠起来,但当他把它放在一个黑暗的柜子里时,叶子仍然像往常一样折叠和展开。 in a hurry匆忙地;at once立刻;by chance偶然;as usual像往常一样。根据“the leaves still folded and unfolded”以及语境,可知此处指的含羞草在黑暗柜子中仍“如常”开合,说明其内在节律未受外界影响,as usual符合语境。故选D。 94.句意:它们甚至可以帮助动物知道什么时候该移动,什么时候该休息。 only仅仅;even甚至;rarely很少;simply仅仅,简单地。根据“help animals know when to move or rest for the season”可知,句子强调生物钟作用范围广,“甚至”帮助动物应对季节变化,表递进,故选B。 95.句意:就像含羞草一样,我们的生物钟在黑暗中计算时间,但它也会对光线做出反应。 silence沉默;coldness冷漠;darkness黑暗;blindness失明。根据“Like the mimosa plant, our clock counts time in…but it also reacts to light.”可知,设空处前后为转折关系,生物钟在“黑暗”中也能计时,与后文“对光有反应”形成对比。故选C。 96.句意:然后,主时钟向你所有的细胞发送“醒来”或“睡觉”的信号。 wake up醒来;stay up熬夜;get up起床;speak up大声说出。与设空处后的“sleep”信号对应,主钟发送“醒来”信号,wake up符合语境。故选A。 97.句意:这就是为什么当你去不同的地方旅行时,你会在错误的时间感到疲倦。 surprised惊讶的;bored无聊的;tired疲倦的;excited兴奋的。根据“That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel…at the wrong times.”可知,这一句是说时差导致身体在错误时间感到“疲劳”,故选C。 Stephen Hawkins was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St. Albans——a small city near London. Although he did well, he was 98 top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology (宇宙学). As he himself 99 , he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks. It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed 100 was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was 101 she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move 102 the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23. At first, Hawking became very sad, after a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very 103 life. There not seemed to be anything worth doing.

For example, instead of saying “I am experiencing dissatisfaction,” you could say “I’m unhappy with this.” Being direct helps everyone understand your 112 .   Third, pay attention to body language. Smiling and keeping eye contact show that you are friendly. On the other hand, crossing your arms might make you look 113 . A relaxed posture helps others trust you.   Fourth, ask questions when you don’t understand something. Saying “Could you explain that again?” is better than pretending to know. Questions also let the speaker know you are 114 in the conversation.   Finally, always respect different opinions. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but you should listen patiently. For instance, if a friend says, “I think summer is the worst season,” you could reply, “That’s interesting!

When he was three, he injured an eye in an accident in his father’s workshop. Within a year he couldn’t see anything. When he was ten, he was sent to a school for the blind. Students there learned by listening to their teachers. One day, a visitor came to the school. His name was Charles Barbier. He was to have a great influence on Louis. Louis was then twelve years old. Charles Barbier had invented a new way of writing. This writing was designed to be used at night. People could read it without showing a light. Charles hoped the head of the school whose students lived their lives in darkness could use his way of writing. Louis Braille stood out among those students. His mind was quick. He was eager to learn. The head of the school invited him to meet the visitor. Charles began to show how his writing worked. Louis’s interest was aroused. Charles took a sheet of thick paper. Using a pointed instrument, he punched a series of holes to make raised dots (点) on the other side of the paper. These dots were grouped together in cells (单元格). The cells could be placed in any of twelve positions. Each group stood for a different sound. By running a fingertip over them, a person could read a message. Louis was excited by Charles’s invention. But he knew that it needed to be simpler. Instead of twelve positions for each unit, he decided to work with six. This let a reader make sense of the raised dots more quickly and easily. Louis remained at the school all his life. He taught there. He also helped to print books that used his method. Louis was a very good musician. He showed people how to write music in his way. Louis Braille played a part in changing forever the way blind people read. Because of what he completed, people everywhere who cannot see are no longer limited by blindness. 117.What happened to Louis Braille when he was three? _____________________________________________________________________ 118.Who invented a new way of writing? _____________________________________________________________________ 119.How did Louis Braille make Charles’s invention simpler? _____________________________________________________________________ 120.What do you think of Louis Braille?

The 26-year-old student from the US has started a project called the Chip Bag Project. He is asking local snack lovers to do something helpful, “Don’t throw your empty chip bags away. Give them to me or other volunteers so that we can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.” Chip eaters can drop off their empty chip bags at two places: a print shop and a clothing store. After the volunteers collect the chip bags, they clean them, smooth them out, and iron (熨烫) them together. It takes about four hours to make such a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags. And it is a big help to some homeless people. Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal (目标) for Oleita. He wants to make a difference to the world not only socially, but also environmentally. Problems like environmental pollution and poverty (贫困) often go hand in hand. Oleita says it is time to solve the problems at the same time. 121.What can snack lovers do to help the Chip Bag Project? _____________________________________________________________________ 122.Where can people leave chip bags for the Chip Bag Project? _____________________________________________________________________ 123.How do volunteers make sleeping bags with chip bags? _____________________________________________________________________ 124.When did the Chip Bag Project start? _____________________________________________________________________ 125.What’s Oleita’s goal? _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】121.They can give empty chip bags to Eradajere Oleita or other volunteers. 122.
