[基本概念]
直接引语和间接引语
引用或转述别人说的话时有两种方法:直接引述别人的原话,叫作直接引语(direct speech)。用自己的话转述别人的话,叫作间接引语(indirect speech)。
一般来讲,直接引语前后要加引号;间接引语不用加引号,常用宾语从句来表达。
He said,“I'm a student.”(直接引语)
→He said that he was a student.(间接引语)
[思维导图]
[语法精析]
一、直接引语变为间接引语时句子结构的变化
(1)直接引语为陈述句
直接引语如果是陈述句,变为间接引语时用连接词that引导(that在口语中常省去),that从句之前常用say,tell等引述动词。
He said,“My father never talks much about the war.”
→He said that his father never talked much about the war.
(2)直接引语为一般疑问句或反意疑问句
直接引语如果是一般疑问句或反意疑问句,变为间接引语时用连接词whether或if引导,常用的引述动词(短语)为ask,wonder,want to know等。语序是陈述句的语序,这一点非常重要。
He said,“Do you have any difficulty with your pronunciation?”
→He asked(me)whether/if I had any difficulty with my pronunciation.
He said,“You are interested in English,aren't you?”
→He asked whether/if I was interested in English.
(3)直接引语为选择疑问句
直接引语如果是选择疑问句,变为间接引语时用连接词whether或if 引导。但句中出现or not时,只能用whether。
He asked,“Do you speak English or French?”
→He asked me whether/if I spoke English or French.
(4)直接引语为特殊疑问句
直接引语如果是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语时,原来的疑问词作为间接引语的引导词,常用的引述动词(短语)为ask,wonder,want to know等。疑问句语序改为陈述句语序。
He asked,“What's your name?”
→He asked(me)what my name was.
二、直接引语变为间接引语时,人称、时态、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词等都要发生相应的变化
(1)人称的变化规则:一随主、二随宾,第三人称不更新
直接引语
间接引语
例句
引述内容中的第一人称
与主句主语的人称保持一致
He says,“I like maths very much.”→He says that he likes maths very much.
引述内容中的第二人称
与主句宾语的人称保持一致
He said to Lily,“You must get up early.”→He told Lily that she must get up early.
引述内容中的第三人称
保持不变
She said to me,“They want to help him.”→She told me that they wanted to help him.
(2)时态的变化规则
主现从不限;主过从四过(即4种过去的时态:一般过去时;过去进行时;过去将来时;过去完成时);客观真理,只用一般现在时。
①主句是一般现在时,从句可保留原时态(任意时态均可)。
②主句是过去时态,从句用相应的过去时态。即一般现在时改成一般过去时;现在进行时改成过去进行时;一般将来时改成过去将来时;一般过去时、现在完成时用过去完成时;过去完成时不变。
He said,“He has gone home.”
→He said that he had gone home.
③主句是过去时态,从句讲述客观真理时,从句仍用一般现在时。

1.引述动词
直接引语为祈使句,变成间接引语时,要根据句意及说话人语气使用ask,order,tell,suggest,advise,beg,request,command,warn,remind等动词转述。

3.直接引语表示建议或劝告
直接引语中引述的原话为Would you mind...?/Why don't you...?/Why not...?/Shall we...?等表示建议、提议或劝告的句子,变为间接引语时,通常用ask/advise sb.to do sth,offer to do sth.,suggest doing sth或suggest+that sb.(should)do sth.等。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Over a hundred years ago in 1911, something strange was found in the glaciers of Antarctica. Crilffith Taylor-an Australian geologist, had discovered a blood red stream pouring out of the ice cascades (瀑布) of Talor Glacier. Popularly known as the Blood Falls,scientists had not been able to find the reason behind the blood red liquid flowing through the ice until recently. The mystery of the Blood Falls had finally been solved.
When these falls were first discovered, scientists had believed that the red colour came from a large amount of red algae (海藻) concentrated in the water. Red algae contain a pigment (色素) which reflects red light, making the algae appear red.
This theory made sense,until it was later found that algae do not play a part in the red colour of the flowing liquid at all. What really causes Talor Glacier's water to appear blood red is the presence of iron oxide in the liquid. The waters of the Blood Falls are rich in salt and iron content, and when this water comes in contact with the air, it turns red—just like rust! The water in these falls is often referred to as “brine”by scientists because of the high salt content in the water.
This reasoning behind the red colour of the falls was found back in 2003. However, the entire mystery had not yet been solved. How is it then, that the Blood Falls are not frozen?
Researchers at the University of Colorado and University of Alaska found that inside the glacier, there is a network of channels and reservoirs that moves the water around. Salt water has a lower freezing temperature. In addition, when any substance undergoes a change in state, it gives off heat. Therefore, the brine actually warms itself up while it's freezing!How this works is that when the brine is flowing through the Talor Glacier, some of it does freeze. As a result of changing state from liquid to ice, the brine gives off heat. This heat is enough to keep the rest of the brine in liquid form, which is why it flows out of the glacier.
Incredible new chemistry facts found, and mystery solved!
1.According to the text, the red algae theory was one considered ________ .
A.ridiculous B.reasonable
C.impractical D.complex
2.Why does the Blood Falls look red in colour?
A.There is too much salt and iron in its water.
B.Its liquid is rich in red algae.
C.The flowing liquid reflects red sunlight.
D.The air is thin and rare in Antarctica.
3.What is the main reason for the Blood Falls' not freezing?
A.The water continued flowing constantly.
B.There is too much salt in the water.
C.The brine gives off heat while freezing.
D.Temperatures aren't high enough for flowing water.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The discovery of the blood glacier.
B.The birth of the Talor Glacier.
C.The flowing red water in Antarctica.
D.The mystery of the Blood Falls.
[语篇解读] 1911年,澳大利亚地质学家在南极洲的冰川中发现了奇怪的景象——血瀑布。最近,血瀑布的秘密终于被揭开了:瀑布的水中富含盐和铁,当水接触空气时,就会像铁锈一样变红;水中盐分很高,以至于瀑布不结冰。
1.B [推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“This theory made sense,until it was later found that algae do not play a part in the red colour of the flowing liquid at all”可知,这个理论曾被认为是有道理的,直到后来才发现海藻在血瀑布中没有起作用。由此判断B项正确,make sense有道理,讲得通。]
2.A [细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句可知,是因为富含盐分和铁,当瀑布的水接触空气时,就会像铁锈一样变红。]
3.C [细节理解题。根据第五段最后两句可知,当液体结冰时,盐水释放出热量。这种热量足以使其余的盐水保持液态,这就是它不结冰的原因。]
4.D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,1911年澳大利亚地质学家在南极洲的冰川中发现了血瀑布。最近,血瀑布的秘密终于被揭开了。D项“血瀑布之谜”能概括文章的内容,体现文章的主旨。]

Solutions to Climate Change
There are personal lifestyle changes that you can make and that, to some extent, can help reduce your carbon impact. Not all are right for everybody. But applying just a few of them could make a difference.
Move closer to work.
Transportation is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. __1__ One way to dramatically cut transportation fuel needs is to move closer to work, use mass transportation, or switch to walking, cycling or some other modes of transport that does not require anything other than human energy.
Consume less.
2__ Whether by quitting an automobile or employing a reusable grocery sack, cutting back on consumption results in fewer fossil fuels being burned to extract, produce and ship products around the globe.
3__
A potentially simpler and even bigger effect can be produced by doing more with less. Citizens of many developed countries are energywasters, whether by speeding in a gaswasting vehicle or leaving the lights on when not in a room. Similarly,employing more efficient refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances can cut electricity bills. __4__ You can turn the lights or your computers off when you leave the office.
Stop cutting down trees.
When purchasing wood products, such as furniture or flooring, buy used goods or, failing that,wood proved officially to have been sustainably harvested. The Amazon rainforest and other forests are more than the lung of the earth. __5__
A.Be energy efficient.
B.Use few electrical appliances.
C.But it doesn't have to be that way.
D.Such efforts can also be usefully employed at work.
E.They may also be humans' shortterm hope for limiting climate change.
F.The easiest way to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions is simply to buy less stuff.
G.Citizens spend more money on electricity to power devices when they're off than when they're on.
