范文一:给报社编辑的一封信(阐述出国留学正反观点+个人立场)
Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student. Recently, studying abroad has become popular, and I’m writing to share my opinions on it.
Studying abroad helps us gain a global perspective and improve language skills. Besides, it enhances our independence. However, it brings great economic pressure to families, and students may face culture shock at first.
In my opinion, it’s a valuable experience but not suitable for everyone. We should treat it rationally and can also build cultural bridges through exchange activities.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
范文二:结合跨国文化交流经历,论述文化桥梁的意义
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to share my cross-cultural exchange experience and my understanding of cultural bridges.
Last summer, I joined a one-month summer camp in London. At first, I felt nervous due to cultural differences, but I soon adapted and engaged in various cultural activities with foreign friends, introducing Chinese culture to them.
This experience made me realize that cultural exchange is a bridge connecting different nations. It helps eliminate misunderstanding and promotes mutual friendship. We can build such bridges through various exchange activities.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
易错点01 adapt to 与 adjust to 混用及搭配错误
【一句话辨异】
Xie Lei tried to adapt to the new life in London quickly, and she also had to adjust herself to the different teaching methods there.
谢蕾努力快速适应伦敦的新生活,同时也不得不调整自己去适应那里不同的教学方式。
【错因辨析】
1. 二者虽都有“适应”之意,但搭配和语境不同,是完形填空、语法填空高频易错点:
①adapt to:侧重适应全新的环境、文化、生活模式,主语多为人或物,核心搭配为 adapt to sth.(适应某事/物),本单元核心短语,常结合跨文化交流场景考查。
② adjust to:侧重调整自身状态、习惯去适配某一情况,常接反身代词(adjust oneself to sth.),也可接具体事物(如调整钟表、计划),语境更偏向“微调适配”。
2. 核心禁忌:二者不可随意替换,且都为不及物动词短语,不可直接接宾语(需加介词 to),避免出现 adapt new environment 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ She adapted herself to the new culture quickly.(搭配不当,adapt 无需接反身代词)
✅ She adapted to the new culture quickly.(正确)
❌ He adjusted to the clock before going to bed.(语境不当,调整钟表用 adjust 即可,无需加 to)
✅ He adjusted the clock before going to bed.(正确)
【助记口诀】
adapt 适应新环境,直接加 to 不用宾;adjust 微调自身态,接反身代更合适。
【对点训练】
It took the exchange student a long time to ______ the life in China.
A. adapt to B. adjust C. adapt D. adjust for
易错点02 表语从句中 that 的省略误用
【一句话辨异】
The biggest advantage of studying abroad is that it can help us gain a global perspective, not that it can bring us more chances to travel.
出国留学最大的优势是它能帮助我们拥有全球视野,而非能给我们带来更多旅行的机会。
【错因辨析】
1. 表语从句中,that 仅起连接作用、无实义、不充当成分,但绝对不可省略,这是与宾语从句的核心区别(宾语从句中 that 口语/非正式文体可省略),是本单元语法填空、短文改错核心考点。
2. 固定句型易错:The reason why...is that...(……的原因是……)为固定表语从句句型,严禁省略 that,切勿受汉语思维影响,出现 The reason is he is late 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ What we need to do is we should participate in more cultural activities.(错误,漏 that)
✅ What we need to do is that we should participate in more cultural activities.(正确)
❌ The reason she felt lonely was she missed her family.(错误,漏 that)
✅ The reason she felt lonely was that she missed her family.(正确)

A. / B. what C. that D. whether
易错点03 participate in、join 与 take part in 混用
【一句话辨异】
He decided to join the school’s international club and take part in the sports meeting, and he also planned to participate in the cultural exchange activity next month.
他决定加入学校的国际俱乐部、参加运动会,还计划下个月参与文化交流活动。
【错因辨析】
1. 三者都有“参加”之意,但搭配和使用场景不同,是写作、完形填空高频易错点:
① join:侧重加入团体、组织、人群,成为其中一员,后接俱乐部、团队、某人等(如 join the club、join us)。
② take part in:口语通用,侧重参与普通活动、比赛,后接具体活动(如 take part in the sports meeting),强调参与过程。
③ participate in:正式书面用语,多用于学术、课堂、社会活动,是写作高分替换词,核心搭配为 participate in sth.(如 participate in class discussion),语法填空常考查其名词形式 participation。
2. 核心禁忌:participate 为不及物动词,不可直接接宾语,必须加介词 in;join 后接活动时,需加 in(join in the activity),避免出现 participate the activity 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ She joined in the international organization last year.(搭配不当,加入组织用 join 即可)
✅ She joined the international organization last year.(正确)
❌ All students are required to participate the class discussion.(搭配错误,需加 in)
✅ All students are required to participate in the class discussion.(正确)
【助记口诀】
join 加入某团体,take part in 活动赛;participate in 书面语,加 in 接宾别忘记。
【对点训练】
More and more teenagers are willing to ______ the cross-cultural exchange activities to broaden their horizons.
A. join B. take part in C. participate D. participate in
易错点04 主语从句中 whether 与 if 的混用
【一句话辨异】
Whether we can adapt to the new cultural environment quickly is still a question, and it is clear that if we work hard, we can overcome all difficulties.
我们能否快速适应新的文化环境仍是个问题,且很明显,如果我们努力,就能克服所有困难。
【错因辨析】
1. 主语从句中,表“是否”只能用 whether,不可用 if;if 仅可用于动词后的宾语从句中表“是否”,这是本单元名词性从句核心易错点。
2. 延伸考点:表语从句、同位语从句中表“是否”,也只能用 whether,不可替换为 if;只有宾语从句(动词后)中,whether 和 if 可互换。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ If we can qualify for the exchange program is unknown.(错误,主语从句用 whether)
✅ Whether we can qualify for the exchange program is unknown.(正确)
❌ The question is if we can feel at home in a foreign country.(错误,表语从句用 whether)
✅ The question is whether we can feel at home in a foreign country.(正确)
【助记口诀】
主表同位用 whether,宾从动词可换 if;两种句式分清楚,名词从句不出错。
【对点训练】

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.
For example, when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?
If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same? If “indirect” is the opposite of “direct”, why “indifferent” is not the opposite of “different” and why do “invaluable” and “valuable” both mean being of great value?
Even the smallest of words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?
You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.
4.Why does the author mention his five-year-old son’s question at the beginning?
A.To prove kids are curious about food.
B.To introduce the topic that English is confusing.
C.To explain the origin of English words.
D.To show children learn English easily.
5.According to paragraph 3, which pair of words has opposite meanings?
A.shameless and shameful. B.different and indifferent.
C.harmless and harmful. D.valuable and invaluable.
6.What does the underlined phrase “goes off” most probably mean?
A.stops working B.breaks down C.disappears D.makes a sound
7.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To show that English is confusing but creative.
B.To tell us that English is very difficult to learn.
C.To give advice on how to learn English.
D.To explain how English was created.

2 He put forward the suggestion that we should strengthen cultural communication.
译文:他提出了一个建议:我们应该加强文化交流。
2. wh-类连接词(what, who, when, where, why, how,有实际含义,充当成分)
1 We have no idea when the next cultural exchange activity will be held.
译文:我们不知道下一次文化交流活动将在何时举行。
2 The question how we can adapt to the new culture quickly is worth discussing.
译文:我们如何快速适应新文化这个问题值得讨论。
(四)核心考点与易错点
1. 同位语从句与定语从句的区别(核心考点)
· 同位语从句:that 不充当成分,仅起连接作用,说明名词“是什么”;
· 定语从句:that 充当主语、宾语等成分,修饰名词“是什么样的”。
例句1(同位语从句):The idea that we should learn from each other is very good.(that 不充当成分,说明 idea 的内容)
例句2(定语从句):The idea that he put forward is very good.(that 作 put forward 的宾语,修饰 idea)
2. 部分名词后只能用 that 引导同位语从句(如 fact, truth, news 等)
❌ 错误:We heard the news if our team won the competition.
✅ 正确:We heard the news that our team won the competition.
五、四类名词性从句综合总结
1. 引导词共性:that 无实际意义、不充当成分;wh-类引导词有实际意义、充当成分;whether 表“是否”,部分场景可替换 if(宾语从句除外)。
2. 高频考点:表语从句中 that 不可省略、whether 不可替换为 if;主语从句句首 that 不可省略;宾语从句时态一致、否定转移;同位语从句与定语从句的区别。
3. 写作应用:合理运用四类名词性从句,可提升句子复杂度和文章档次,结合本单元“跨文化交流、出国留学”话题,可用于表达观点、说明事实、提出建议等。

范文一:给报社编辑的一封信(阐述出国留学正反观点+个人立场)
Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student. Recently, studying abroad has become popular, and I’m writing to share my opinions on it.
Studying abroad helps us gain a global perspective and improve language skills. Besides, it enhances our independence. However, it brings great economic pressure to families, and students may face culture shock at first.
In my opinion, it’s a valuable experience but not suitable for everyone. We should treat it rationally and can also build cultural bridges through exchange activities.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
范文二:结合跨国文化交流经历,论述文化桥梁的意义
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to share my cross-cultural exchange experience and my understanding of cultural bridges.
Last summer, I joined a one-month summer camp in London. At first, I felt nervous due to cultural differences, but I soon adapted and engaged in various cultural activities with foreign friends, introducing Chinese culture to them.
This experience made me realize that cultural exchange is a bridge connecting different nations. It helps eliminate misunderstanding and promotes mutual friendship. We can build such bridges through various exchange activities.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
易错点01 adapt to 与 adjust to 混用及搭配错误
【一句话辨异】
Xie Lei tried to adapt to the new life in London quickly, and she also had to adjust herself to the different teaching methods there.
谢蕾努力快速适应伦敦的新生活,同时也不得不调整自己去适应那里不同的教学方式。
【错因辨析】
1. 二者虽都有“适应”之意,但搭配和语境不同,是完形填空、语法填空高频易错点:
①adapt to:侧重适应全新的环境、文化、生活模式,主语多为人或物,核心搭配为 adapt to sth.(适应某事/物),本单元核心短语,常结合跨文化交流场景考查。
② adjust to:侧重调整自身状态、习惯去适配某一情况,常接反身代词(adjust oneself to sth.),也可接具体事物(如调整钟表、计划),语境更偏向“微调适配”。
2. 核心禁忌:二者不可随意替换,且都为不及物动词短语,不可直接接宾语(需加介词 to),避免出现 adapt new environment 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ She adapted herself to the new culture quickly.(搭配不当,adapt 无需接反身代词)
✅ She adapted to the new culture quickly.(正确)
❌ He adjusted to the clock before going to bed.(语境不当,调整钟表用 adjust 即可,无需加 to)
✅ He adjusted the clock before going to bed.(正确)
【助记口诀】
adapt 适应新环境,直接加 to 不用宾;adjust 微调自身态,接反身代更合适。
【对点训练】
It took the exchange student a long time to ______ the life in China.
A. adapt to B. adjust C. adapt D. adjust for
答案:A
解析:句意为“交换生花了很长时间才适应中国的生活”,侧重适应全新生活环境,用 adapt to;adjust 后需加 to 接宾语,adjust for 意为“为……调整”,不符合句意,故选 A。
易错点02 表语从句中 that 的省略误用
【一句话辨异】
The biggest advantage of studying abroad is that it can help us gain a global perspective, not that it can bring us more chances to travel.
出国留学最大的优势是它能帮助我们拥有全球视野,而非能给我们带来更多旅行的机会。
【错因辨析】
1. 表语从句中,that 仅起连接作用、无实义、不充当成分,但绝对不可省略,这是与宾语从句的核心区别(宾语从句中 that 口语/非正式文体可省略),是本单元语法填空、短文改错核心考点。
2. 固定句型易错:The reason why...is that...(……的原因是……)为固定表语从句句型,严禁省略 that,切勿受汉语思维影响,出现 The reason is he is late 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ What we need to do is we should participate in more cultural activities.(错误,漏 that)
✅ What we need to do is that we should participate in more cultural activities.(正确)
❌ The reason she felt lonely was she missed her family.(错误,漏 that)
✅ The reason she felt lonely was that she missed her family.(正确)
【助记口诀】
表语从句 that 不删,Reason 句型记心间;宾从可省它不行,语法填空常考点。
【对点训练】
The truth is ______ cultural exchange can bridge the gap between different nations.
A. / B. what C. that D. whether
答案:C
解析:本句为表语从句,从句句意完整、不缺成分,需用 that 连接且不可省略;what 需在从句中充当成分,whether 表“是否”,不符合句意,故选 C。
易错点03 participate in、join 与 take part in 混用
【一句话辨异】
He decided to join the school’s international club and take part in the sports meeting, and he also planned to participate in the cultural exchange activity next month.
他决定加入学校的国际俱乐部、参加运动会,还计划下个月参与文化交流活动。
【错因辨析】
1. 三者都有“参加”之意,但搭配和使用场景不同,是写作、完形填空高频易错点:
① join:侧重加入团体、组织、人群,成为其中一员,后接俱乐部、团队、某人等(如 join the club、join us)。
② take part in:口语通用,侧重参与普通活动、比赛,后接具体活动(如 take part in the sports meeting),强调参与过程。
③ participate in:正式书面用语,多用于学术、课堂、社会活动,是写作高分替换词,核心搭配为 participate in sth.(如 participate in class discussion),语法填空常考查其名词形式 participation。
2. 核心禁忌:participate 为不及物动词,不可直接接宾语,必须加介词 in;join 后接活动时,需加 in(join in the activity),避免出现 participate the activity 这类错误。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ She joined in the international organization last year.(搭配不当,加入组织用 join 即可)
✅ She joined the international organization last year.(正确)
❌ All students are required to participate the class discussion.(搭配错误,需加 in)
✅ All students are required to participate in the class discussion.(正确)
【助记口诀】
join 加入某团体,take part in 活动赛;participate in 书面语,加 in 接宾别忘记。
【对点训练】
More and more teenagers are willing to ______ the cross-cultural exchange activities to broaden their horizons.
A. join B. take part in C. participate D. participate in
答案:D
解析:句意为“越来越多的青少年愿意参与跨文化交流活动”,活动为正式社会活动,且空格后有宾语,用 participate in;join 后接团体,take part in 更侧重普通活动,participate 为不及物动词,不可直接接宾语,故选 D。
易错点04 主语从句中 whether 与 if 的混用
【一句话辨异】
Whether we can adapt to the new cultural environment quickly is still a question, and it is clear that if we work hard, we can overcome all difficulties.
我们能否快速适应新的文化环境仍是个问题,且很明显,如果我们努力,就能克服所有困难。
【错因辨析】
1. 主语从句中,表“是否”只能用 whether,不可用 if;if 仅可用于动词后的宾语从句中表“是否”,这是本单元名词性从句核心易错点。
2. 延伸考点:表语从句、同位语从句中表“是否”,也只能用 whether,不可替换为 if;只有宾语从句(动词后)中,whether 和 if 可互换。
3. 高频错句对比:
❌ If we can qualify for the exchange program is unknown.(错误,主语从句用 whether)
✅ Whether we can qualify for the exchange program is unknown.(正确)
❌ The question is if we can feel at home in a foreign country.(错误,表语从句用 whether)
✅ The question is whether we can feel at home in a foreign country.(正确)
【助记口诀】
主表同位用 whether,宾从动词可换 if;两种句式分清楚,名词从句不出错。
【对点训练】
______ we can strengthen cultural bonds with foreign friends depends on our active participation.
A. If B. Whether C. That D. What
答案:B
解析:本句为主语从句,表“是否”,需用 whether 引导;if 不可用于主语从句,that 无实义,what 需在从句中充当成分,不符合句意,故选 B。

2. _____________n. 期望;预期;期待
3. _____________n. 申请人
4. ____________vt. 使接触;使体验;显露;使暴露于(险境)
【答案】1.motivate 2. expectation 3. applicant 4.expose
二、找出下列句子中的名词性从句并分类
1.What is important in study is diligence rather than intelligence.
________________________________
2.The gold medal will be awarded to whoever wins the first place in the bicycle race.
__________________________________________________________
3.It is a fact that holidays are a major test of any relationship.

2.whoever wins the first place in the bicycle race; 宾语从句
3.that holidays are a major test of any relationship; 主语从句
4.as though he hasn't had a square meal for weeks; 表语从句
三、语法填空

1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________
6.________ 7.________ 8.________9.________ 10.________
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现,狮子、老虎和其他动物会在晚上保持清醒,以避开人类。
【答案】
1.to avoid 考查非谓语动词。句意:一项新的研究发现,狮子、老虎和其他动物在晚上保持清醒,以避开人类。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to avoid。
2.from 考查介词。句意:许多动物可能会减少活动或到很远的地方以远离人类。keep away from为固定搭配,意为“远离”。故填from。
3.looking 考查非谓语动词。spend time (in) doing sth为固定搭配,意为“花费时间做某事”,设空处应用动名词作宾语。故填looking。
4.frighten 考查词性转换。设空处应用动词作谓语,且设空前有情态动词can,应用动词原形。故填frighten。
5.What 考查主语从句的连接词。设空处引导主语从句,从句缺少主语,指物,应用连接代词what引导,位于句首,单词首字母应大写。故填What。

B
Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.
For example, when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?
If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same? If “indirect” is the opposite of “direct”, why “indifferent” is not the opposite of “different” and why do “invaluable” and “valuable” both mean being of great value?
Even the smallest of words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?
You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.
4.Why does the author mention his five-year-old son’s question at the beginning?
A.To prove kids are curious about food.
B.To introduce the topic that English is confusing.
C.To explain the origin of English words.
D.To show children learn English easily.
5.According to paragraph 3, which pair of words has opposite meanings?
A.shameless and shameful. B.different and indifferent.
C.harmless and harmful. D.valuable and invaluable.
6.What does the underlined phrase “goes off” most probably mean?
A.stops working B.breaks down C.disappears D.makes a sound
7.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To show that English is confusing but creative.
B.To tell us that English is very difficult to learn.
C.To give advice on how to learn English.
D.To explain how English was created.
【答案】4.B 5.C 6.D 7.A
【导语】文章讲述了作者以儿子询问汉堡里为何没有火腿一事开篇,列举大量英文单词词义矛盾、表达逻辑反常的例子,展现英语语言看似荒诞、令人困惑的特点,最后点明英语由人类创造,体现了人类的创造力。
【详解】4.推理判断题。根据第一段“This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.(这让我开始思考英语学起来为何会如此不合常理。)”可推知,作者在开头提及五岁儿子的问题,目的是引出英语令人费解这一话题。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段“If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same? If ‘indirect’ is the opposite of ‘direct’, why ‘indifferent’ is not the opposite of ‘different’ and why do ‘invaluable’ and ‘valuable’ both mean being of great value?(如果无害的行为是有害行为的反义词,为何无耻的和可耻的行为含义一致?如果‘间接的’是‘直接的’反义词,为何‘漠不关心的’不是‘有差异的’的反义词,为何‘极宝贵的’和‘有价值的’都表示极具价值?)”可知,只有harmless与harmful互为反义词。
6.词句猜测题。根据第五段“You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!(你也不得不惊叹这门语言独有的古怪之处:房屋焚毁可以用burn up和burn down表达含义相同;填表既可以说fill in a form也可以说fill it out;警报只有在goes off的时候,人们才能听见声音。)”可知,警报被人们听见是因为发出声响,“goes off”此处含义为“发出响声”,与D选项“makes a sound(发出声音)”含义一致。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race.(英语由人类创造,而非电脑创造,它反映了人类的创造力。)”可知,作者写作目的是说明英语虽然令人费解,却饱含人类创造力。
