4. Later, however, he began to doubt whether it was a real golden crown.然而,后来他开始怀疑这是否真是一顶金冠。

①肯定句:doubt 后接宾语从句,从句常用whether / if(是否)引导,二者可互换;

5. Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. 阿基米德在往浴缸里注水时,仍在思考这个问题。

例:He went straight home to do his homework. 他直接回家写作业。
【典例】She went straight ______ to get her bag.
A. to home B. home C. at home D. in home
【答案】B
【详解】home 在此处作地点副词,地点副词(home/here/there)前面不能加介词 to,因此排除 A;at home 意为 “在家”,侧重状态,不符合本句 “径直走回家” 的动作语境;in home 为错误搭配。结合句意 “她径直回家拿包”,本题选 B。

9.How did he prove his theory? 他是如何证明自己的理论的?
【详解】prove /pruːv/v. 证明;证实;表明
①作及物动词,表 “证明、佐证”,日常及考试中多用主动语态;正式法律、学术文本可使用被动语态,应试场景极少考查。
例:He proved his theory with lots of experiments.他通过大量实验证明了自己的理论。
②作系动词,构成 prove (to be) + 形容词/名词 结构时,本身表被动含义,无被动形式,为高频易错点。
例:The suggestion proved (to be) helpful.这个建议被证明很有帮助。
【拓展】常用搭配
①prove sth. 证明某事
例:Can you prove your words? 你能证明你说的话吗?
②prove + (that) 从句 证明……

11.It is not surprising, therefore, that many of Laozi's famous sayings use nature to get the message across: “The highest good is like water.因此,老子诸多名言都借助自然来传达其思想精髓,这不足为奇:“至善如水。”
【详解】
①核心句型:本句采用It is + 形容词 + that 从句结构,其中 it 为形式主语,真正主语为后方 that 引导的主语从句,该句式可有效避免句子结构头重脚轻。It is not surprising that… 译为 “…… 不足为奇”,是高频常用句型。

③the highest good 对应传统文化概念,译作 “至善”。
【典例】It is surprising ______ she knows so much about history.
A. what B. that C. if D. when

【详解】本题考查 It is + 形容词 + that 从句 固定句型。that 在此引导主语从句,仅作连接成分,无实际词义,其余引导词均不符合句式及语境要求,故选 B。
【即练 1】______ obvious that he will win the game.
A. That is B. It is C. This is D. He is

【详解】①句式分析:本句为主系表结构,that 引导表语从句,解释主语 The idea 的具体内容;句末 respecting our place in nature 为现在分词短语,在从句中作伴随状语。
② balanced adj. 平衡的;均衡的;和谐的。本句中修饰 life,指生活状态安稳协调、张弛有度。
【拓展】词根:balance /ˈbæləns/n. 平衡;均衡v. (使)平衡;权衡

keep balance 保持平衡 lose balance 失去平衡

【答案】B
【详解】空格处修饰名词 diet,需使用形容词作定语。balanced 为形容词,意为 “均衡的”;balance 可作名词或动词,balancing 多为动名词形式,均不可直接修饰名词,故选 B。
【即练 1】Be careful! Don't ______ your balance on the wet floor.

The Light Bulb: A Great Idea That Lit Up the World
Before the light bulb was invented, people mainly used candles and oil lamps for light. These were dangerous, dim and short-lived. Thomas Edison, a famous American inventor, wanted to solve this problem.
Edison spent years working on the light bulb. He tested over 1,000 different materials to find the right filament. Finally, he found that carbonized bamboo could burn for over 1,200 hours. In 1879, he successfully invented the practical incandescent light bulb.
The light bulb completely changed people’s lives. It made work and study possible at night, improved safety in homes and factories, and paved the way for modern electric lighting. Even today, it remains one of the most important inventions in history.
Great ideas like the light bulb come from hard work and never giving up. They make our world brighter and better.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2, 000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose the good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

Lu Ban came up with the idea of the ruler when he was young. Benjamin Franklin invented swim flippers (蛙鞋) at the age of 12. And last year, the 6-year-old Kate Smith, published her invention for baby medical treatment. The stories of the young inventors remind people of children’s great creativity. Scientists agree that children are more creative than adults and they have the power to create and invent.
Every invention starts with curiosity (好奇心) and a heart to explore. Children are naturally curious and have a spirit of discovery, which drives them to ask questions, explore problems, and try to solve them. Lily Peterson, at the age of 9, created the ice cream stick just because she wanted to hold the frozen cream. But the simple invention has transformed the way we eat ice cream, making it easier and more enjoyable for people of all ages.
What’s more, children can learn quickly and like turning new knowledge into practice. They are not afraid to think differently and can challenge long-held ideas. They enjoy getting the sense of confidence and pride when they try out their ideas. It makes them take an active part in scientific experiments (实验) and create unexpected ideas.
Children’s ability to create is really valuable. Adults should encourage them and provide them with chances to explore the world. By doing so, children can help to make the world around them better.

例:He went straight home to do his homework. 他直接回家写作业。

【即练 1】用 of/from/in/by 填空
①The desk is made ______ wood.

例:He proved his theory with lots of experiments.他通过大量实验证明了自己的理论。
②作系动词,构成 prove (to be) + 形容词/名词 结构时,本身表被动含义,无被动形式,为高频易错点。
例:The suggestion proved (to be) helpful.这个建议被证明很有帮助。
【拓展】常用搭配
①prove sth. 证明某事
例:Can you prove your words? 你能证明你说的话吗?
②prove + (that) 从句 证明……

11.It is not surprising, therefore, that many of Laozi's famous sayings use nature to get the message across: “The highest good is like water.因此,老子诸多名言都借助自然来传达其思想精髓,这不足为奇:“至善如水。”
【详解】
①核心句型:本句采用It is + 形容词 + that 从句结构,其中 it 为形式主语,真正主语为后方 that 引导的主语从句,该句式可有效避免句子结构头重脚轻。It is not surprising that… 译为 “…… 不足为奇”,是高频常用句型。
②get the message across 为固定搭配,意为 “传达思想、阐明含义”。
③the highest good 对应传统文化概念,译作 “至善”。
【典例】It is surprising ______ she knows so much about history.

【即练 1】______ obvious that he will win the game.
A. That is B. It is C. This is D. He is
【答案】B
【详解】本题考查形式主语用法。在 It is + 形容词 + that 从句 句型中,必须使用 it 充当形式主语,为英语固定语法规则,因此选 B。

12. The idea is that we,as humans, should live a simple, peaceful and balanced life, respecting our place in nature. 这一理念是:身为人类,我们应当过简朴、平和且张弛有度的生活,认清并恪守自身在自然界中的位置。
【详解】①句式分析:本句为主系表结构,that 引导表语从句,解释主语 The idea 的具体内容;句末 respecting our place in nature 为现在分词短语,在从句中作伴随状语。
② balanced adj. 平衡的;均衡的;和谐的。本句中修饰 life,指生活状态安稳协调、张弛有度。
【拓展】词根:balance /ˈbæləns/n. 平衡;均衡v. (使)平衡;权衡

【典例】We should have a ______ diet to stay healthy.

【即练 1】Be careful! Don't ______ your balance on the wet floor.
A. lose B. keep C. take D. hold
【答案】A
【详解】本题考查固定短语。lose balance 表示 “失去平衡”,结合 “地面湿滑” 的语境,此处提醒不要摔倒,故选 A。
【即练 2】用所给词适当形式填空
It is important for us to develop a ______ (balance) living habit.
【答案】balanced
【详解】空格修饰名词短语 living habit,需将名词 balance 转化为形容词 balanced,作定语,故填 balanced。
二、单元语法重点
1.—________ is the black jacket?
—It’s 88 yuan.
A.How many B.How much C.How old D.How about
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——这件黑色夹克衫多少钱?——88 元。
How many多少;How much多少钱;How old多大;How about……怎么样。根据“It’s 88 yuan.”可知,句子要用询问价格的疑问词,因此需用How much提问价格。
2.She ________ to the party last night because she was ill.
A.didn’t come B.doesn’t come C.won’t come D.isn’t coming
【答案】A
【详解】句意:她昨晚没来参加派对,因为她生病了。
根据时间状语“last night”和“was ill”可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,需用一般过去时,否定形式用“didn’t+动词原形”。选项didn’t come符合语境。
3.She hardly knew anything about the local wedding custom, ________?
A.did she B.didn’t she C.does she D.doesn’t she
【答案】A
【详解】句意:她几乎不了解当地的婚俗,是吗?
did she一般过去时,肯定形式。didn’t she一般过去时,否定形式。does she一般现在时,肯定形式。doesn’t she一般现在时,否定形式。反意疑问句遵循“前否后肯”的规则:句中hardly(几乎不)是否定词,所以前半句视为否定句,后半句要用肯定形式。前半句动词knew是一般过去时,所以后半句助动词用did。

The Light Bulb: A Great Idea That Lit Up the World
Before the light bulb was invented, people mainly used candles and oil lamps for light. These were dangerous, dim and short-lived. Thomas Edison, a famous American inventor, wanted to solve this problem.
Edison spent years working on the light bulb. He tested over 1,000 different materials to find the right filament. Finally, he found that carbonized bamboo could burn for over 1,200 hours. In 1879, he successfully invented the practical incandescent light bulb.
The light bulb completely changed people’s lives. It made work and study possible at night, improved safety in homes and factories, and paved the way for modern electric lighting. Even today, it remains one of the most important inventions in history.
Great ideas like the light bulb come from hard work and never giving up. They make our world brighter and better.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2, 000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose the good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.
