3、 重难句型解析
1. (教材原句)I suppose everyone has something they don't like about themselves.
· suppose表示“认为,想”,后常接宾语从句。此句中everyone has something they don't like about themselves作suppose后的宾语,是一个宾语从句。I suppose后加that从句表达否定的意见或看法时,通常否定suppose而非that从句中的动词。
如:I don’t suppose he will win the game. 我认为他赢不了比赛。
· 这个宾语从句中they don't like about themselves修饰前面的something,是一个定语从句,此定语从句省略了关系词that。关系词在定语从句中充当宾语时可以省略。
如:There isn’t anything (that) my sister likes. 没有我妹妹喜欢的东西。
2. (教材原句)With so many people around me, my birthmark burned red hot.
· With so many people around me是“with+n.”构成的介词短语,可以表示原因、方式等。
如:With the light on, the boy couldn’t fall asleep. 灯开着,小男孩无法入睡。
· 句中burn表示“(脸因窘迫或生气)发烫”。

________ a good education, you can make a difference in the future.
A.With B.Have C.Use D.Learn
3. (教材原句)Clouds came through the window and filled my heart.
(教材原句)... it turned sunny in my heart.
这两句都用了象征的手法。第一句中cloud象征“我内心的紧张与不安”,第二句中的sunny象征“我内心出现的希望与光明”。
4. (教材原句)Although I only replied"thank you", it turned sunny in my heart.
although表示“虽然,即使”,引导让步状语从句。句中使用了although,就不再用but。
如:Although he was hungry, he didn’t steal the food. =He was hungry, but he didn’t steal the food.虽然他很饿,但他没有偷食物。
[随学随练]
翻译句子。
虽然天气糟糕,但是这儿的许多人仍然情绪高涨。

[随学随练]
翻译句子。

6. (教材原句)I haven't told Maddie the whole story yet.
haven’t told是“have+动词过去分词”构成的现在完成时结构,此句是否定形式。句中有already, yet,never,ever,just等词时常用现在完成时,表示过去发生的事对现在产生影响。
如:I have just finished my homework. 我刚刚完成了我的作业。
[随学随练]
单项填空。
(1) I ________ not ________ any letters from him yet.
A.do; receive B.did; receive C.have; received D.will; receive

A.has; cleaned B.have; cleaned C.was; cleaning D.will; clean

that I am what I am是that引导的宾语从句,这个宾语从句中what I am是what引导的表语从句。

此句中what's interesting是一个表语从句,what可以指代某个事情,某个东西,某人做的事,某人说的话等。

5、 技能提升综合练习
1. 阅读理解
A
Lily and Emma are best friends in Grade Eight. They are both 14 years old, but they have many differences. Let’s learn about them!
First, let’s look at their looks. Lily is 1.6 meters tall, and Emma is 1.55 meters tall. So Lily is taller than Emma. Emma has longer hair than Lily—Emma’s hair reaches her shoulders (肩膀), but Lily’s hair is only to her chin (下巴). Lily wears glasses, but Emma doesn’t. Some classmates say Emma’s eyes are bigger and brighter than Lily’s.
Then, their personalities are different too. Lily is quieter than Emma. She likes reading in the library and enjoys being alone sometimes. Emma is more outgoing. She loves talking to people and always joins school activities. At parties, Emma is usually the most active one, while Lily sits and chats with a few close friends.
Their hobbies also show big differences. Lily is better at writing than Emma. She won the school writing competition last year. Emma is more athletic. She runs faster than most girls in her grade and plays volleyball very well. Her volleyball team got the first prize in the city match.
Even though they are different, they help each other. Lily helps Emma with her writing, and Emma teaches Lily to play volleyball. They think their friendship is the most precious thing in their school life.
1.How is Emma’s hair different from Lily’s?
A.Emma’s hair is shorter than Lily’s. B.Emma’s hair is longer than Lily’s.
C.Emma’s hair is as long as Lily’s. D.Emma’s hair is the longest in the class.
2.Who is more outgoing according to the passage?

3.Which of the following is TRUE about their hobbies?
A.Lily runs faster than Emma. B.Emma is better at writing than Lily.
C.Lily won a writing competition. D.Emma’s volleyball team got second place.

①Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you both have different personalities. You may want to know if you can be a new you. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react (反应) to everything around them.
②What makes people think and behave in different ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets his or her genes (基因) and blood type when he or she is still inside his or her mother. These may help decide what the baby will be like.
③But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality.
④You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. Just face it and take action. This is a good way to start making changes.
⑤For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly. But don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. After all, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Just keep trying, and one day you can see that you can be a new you!

请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答问题。
Joss Naylor is a sheep farmer from the Lake District. Among most people, his name means little, but in certain circles, people see him as one of the greatest mountain runners in the world.
Joss lives and breathes mountains. He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District. It has many mountains, like the tallest mountain in England. Joss can run fast over mountains, almost like a superman. However, he wasn’t always a mountain runner. As a young man, the doctor advised him to give up farming because of serious back problems. But when he was 24, he was bored with people telling him to take it easy.
Nothing can stop a good man from being better! He went on working and took up running. When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. He spent much time looking after sheep on the mountains, which helped him prepare for the races. His achievements are famous. For example, he broke his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs raise money for charity (慈善), and he is popular in the community.
He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said.
1.Where does Joss Naylor live?
2.Why did the doctor advise Joss to give up farming?
3.How did Joss prepare for mountain races?
4.What do Joss’s runs help do?
5.What do you think of Joss Naylor?

3、 重难句型解析
1. (教材原句)I suppose everyone has something they don't like about themselves.
· suppose表示“认为,想”,后常接宾语从句。此句中everyone has something they don't like about themselves作suppose后的宾语,是一个宾语从句。I suppose后加that从句表达否定的意见或看法时,通常否定suppose而非that从句中的动词。
如:I don’t suppose he will win the game. 我认为他赢不了比赛。
· 这个宾语从句中they don't like about themselves修饰前面的something,是一个定语从句,此定语从句省略了关系词that。关系词在定语从句中充当宾语时可以省略。
如:There isn’t anything (that) my sister likes. 没有我妹妹喜欢的东西。
2. (教材原句)With so many people around me, my birthmark burned red hot.
· With so many people around me是“with+n.”构成的介词短语,可以表示原因、方式等。
如:With the light on, the boy couldn’t fall asleep. 灯开着,小男孩无法入睡。
· 句中burn表示“(脸因窘迫或生气)发烫”。
[随学随练]
单项填空。
________ a good education, you can make a difference in the future.
A.With B.Have C.Use D.Learn
【答案】A
【详解】句意:有了良好的教育,你可以在未来有所作为。
考查词义辨析。with有;have有;use使用;learn学习。分析句子结构可知,此句已有谓语动词can make,故此空不填动词,应填介词with,故选A。
3. (教材原句)Clouds came through the window and filled my heart.

①Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you both have different personalities. You may want to know if you can be a new you. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react (反应) to everything around them.
②What makes people think and behave in different ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets his or her genes (基因) and blood type when he or she is still inside his or her mother. These may help decide what the baby will be like.
③But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality.
④You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. Just face it and take action. This is a good way to start making changes.
⑤For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly.

He spent much time looking after sheep on the mountains, which helped him prepare for the races. His achievements are famous. For example, he broke his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. “It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard,” he said. Many of his runs raise money for charity (慈善), and he is popular in the community.
He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. “I want people back home—especially family and friends who support me to get a real feel for what it’s like,” he said.
