The Light That Never Fades
①Good morning, everyone. ②Today I would like to share with you the story of a person who has inspired millions around the world — Dr. Zhong Yang, a seed scientist from China.
③Dr. Zhong was not a famous public figure, but his work has touched countless lives. ④It is admirable that he devoted his entire life to studying seeds and protecting biodiversity. ⑤He once said, “A seed may be small, but it carries the hope of a nation.” ⑥These simple words remind us that even the tiniest things can carry great meaning. ⑦It is necessary for us to understand that even the smallest things can make a difference.
⑧Who do you admire most? I admire Dr. Zhong Yang — not because he was wealthy or powerful, but because he had the courage to do what others thought was impossible. ⑨He did not drop out of school when facing difficulties; instead, he worked harder than anyone else. ⑩It was brave of him to travel to the most remote regions to collect seeds, often in dangerous conditions.
⑪Dr. Zhong's story inspires me in many ways. ⑫It is important for young people to have role models who show us what is possible. ⑬It is kind of him to share his knowledge with farmers and help them improve their crops. ⑭His work helped reduce hunger and brought hope to millions.
⑮We all have something in common — we all need someone to look up to. ⑯It is not easy for everyone to find their own path, but with determination and hard work, anything is possible. ⑰Dr. Zhong lived on through his seeds and his spirit. ⑱He left behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
⑲Above all, what I have learned from Dr. Zhong is this: true greatness does not come from fame or money — it comes from serving others. ⑳It is our responsibility to carry on his spirit and make the world a better place.
㉑Please remember — everyone can be inspiring. ㉒Don't ever underestimate the power of one person's dedication. ㉓Who knows what you might achieve if you never give up?
【中文翻译】
①大家早上好。②今天我想和大家分享一个激励了全世界数百万人的故事——钟扬博士,一位来自中国的种子科学家。
③钟扬博士并非公众人物,但他的工作触动了无数人的生活。④令人钦佩的是,他将毕生精力都奉献给了种子研究和生物多样性保护。 ⑤他曾说:“一颗种子可能很小,但它承载着一个民族的希望。”⑥这些简单的话语提醒我们,即使是最微小的事物也能承载伟大的意义。 ⑦我们有必要理解,即使是最微小的事物也能带来改变。
⑧你最钦佩谁? 我钦佩钟扬博士——不是因为他富有或有权势,而是因为他有勇气去做别人认为不可能的事。 ⑨他没有辍学,面对困难时,他比任何人都更加努力。⑩他勇敢地前往最偏远的地区采集种子,常常在危险的条件下工作。
⑪钟扬博士的故事在很多方面激励着我。 ⑫年轻人有榜样很重要,榜样向我们展示了什么是可能的。⑬他真好心,将自己的知识分享给农民,帮助他们改良作物。⑭他的工作帮助减少了饥饿,给数百万人带来了希望。
⑮我们都有共同点——我们都需要有人可以仰慕。⑯找到自己的路对每个人来说都不容易,但有了决心和努力,一切皆有可能。⑰钟扬博士通过他的种子和精神继续存在着。 ⑱他留下了一份遗产,将继续激励未来的世代。
⑲最重要的是,我从钟扬博士身上学到的是:真正的伟大不是来自名声或金钱——而是来自服务他人。 ⑳我们有责任传承他的精神,让世界变得更美好。
㉑请记住——每个人都可以是鼓舞人心的。㉒永远不要低估一个人奉献的力量。㉓谁知道如果你永不放弃,你会取得什么成就呢?

范文逐点解析
① Good morning, everyone.
解析:演讲稿开场白,用于正式讲话的开头。
例句:Good morning, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about the importance of having role models in our lives.(大家早上好。今天我要谈谈榜样在我们生活中的重要性。)
② Today I would like to share with you the story of a person who has inspired millions around the world — Dr. Zhong Yang, a seed scientist from China.
解析:would like to share with you意为“想要与你们分享”。who has inspired millions为定语从句,修饰person,现在完成时强调至今的影响。破折号后Dr. Zhong Yang为同位语,a seed scientist进一步补充说明其身份。开篇点明主题人物及其影响力。
例句:I would like to share with you the story of a young doctor who risked her life to save others during the outbreak.(我想和大家分享一位年轻医生的故事,她在疫情期间冒着生命危险救治他人。)
③ Dr. Zhong was not a famous public figure, but his work has touched countless lives.
解析:not...but... 在此为省略结构的转折表达,完整形式为“he was not a famous public figure, but his work has touched countless lives”,not后为名词短语,but后为完整分句。强调“虽非公众人物但影响深远”。public figure意为“公众人物”。has touched为现在完成时,强调“已经触动”并持续产生影响。该句与⑧句中的“not because...but because...”功能不同——后者用于并列说明原因。
例句:My grandfather was not a well-known celebrity, but his kindness has touched the hearts of everyone who knew him.(我的祖父并非名人,但他的善良打动了所有认识他的人。)
④ It is admirable that he devoted his entire life to studying seeds and protecting biodiversity.
解析:It is admirable that... 为“It作形式主语 + that从句”结构,that从句为真正主语,意为“令人钦佩的是……”。devoted his entire life to为固定搭配,to为介词,后接动名词studying和protecting。biodiversity意为“生物多样性”。该句为本单元核心语法在范文中首次呈现。
例句:It is admirable that the old teacher spent forty years teaching in a mountain village.(令人钦佩的是,这位老教师在偏远山村教了四十年书。)
⑤ He once said, “A seed may be small, but it carries the hope of a nation.”
解析:直接引语。carries the hope意为“承载希望”。这句话是钟扬的名言,体现了他对种子事业的信念——以小见大。
例句:As the old saying goes, “A single tree cannot make a forest, but a thousand trees can.”(俗话说:“独木不成林。”)
⑥ These simple words remind us that even the tiniest things can carry great meaning.
解析:过渡句,将钟扬的名言(⑤)与下文的普遍启示(⑦)连接起来。remind sb. that... 意为“提醒某人……”。the tiniest things意为“最微小的事物”,与⑦句中的“the smallest things”形成同义呼应。
例句:His simple words remind us that kindness, however small, can brighten someone's day.(他简单的话语提醒我们,善意无论多么微小,都能照亮某人的一天。)
⑦ It is necessary for us to understand that even the smallest things can make a difference.
解析:It is necessary for us to understand... 为“It作形式主语 + for sb + to do”结构。for us引出不定式的逻辑主语。make a difference为固定短语,意为“产生影响、有所作为”。该句从钟扬的具体事迹上升到普遍启示。
例句:It is necessary for teenagers to understand that every choice they make today can shape their future.(青少年有必要明白,他们今天做的每一个选择都能塑造自己的未来。)
⑧ Who do you admire most? I admire Dr. Zhong Yang — not because he was wealthy or powerful, but because he had the courage to do what others thought was impossible.
解析:Who do you admire most? 为本单元核心交际句型。not because...but because... 为并列连接结构,用于并列说明原因——强调钦佩的原因不是外在的财富权势,而是内在的勇气。what others thought was impossible为宾语从句,作do的宾语,意为“别人认为不可能的事”。
例句:I admire my mother — not because she is famous, but because she always puts others before herself.(我钦佩我的母亲——不是因为她出名,而是因为她总是把别人放在自己前面。)
⑨ He did not drop out of school when facing difficulties; instead, he worked harder than anyone else.
解析:drop out of school为单元核心短语,意为“辍学”。when facing difficulties为省略结构(when he was facing difficulties)。instead为转折副词,引出对比——“不但没有放弃,反而更加努力”。分号连接两个对比分句。
例句:She did not give up when she failed the college entrance exam; instead, she studied even harder and finally got into her dream university.(高考失利后她没有放弃;相反,她更加努力地学习,最终考入了理想的大学。)
⑩ It was brave of him to travel to the most remote regions to collect seeds, often in dangerous conditions.
解析:It was brave of him to... 为“It作形式主语 + of sb + to do”结构。brave描述人的品质,故用of而非for。remote regions意为“偏远地区”。to collect seeds为不定式作目的状语。in dangerous conditions为介词短语作状语。该句用of句型强调钟扬的个人品质——勇敢。
例句:It was brave of the young firefighter to rush into the burning building to save the trapped children.(这位年轻的消防员冲进着火的大楼营救被困的孩子,真勇敢。)
⑪ Dr. Zhong's story inspires me in many ways.
解析:inspires为单元核心词汇,意为“激励、鼓舞”。in many ways意为“在很多方面”。该句为过渡句,从讲述钟扬的事迹转向讲述钟扬对自己的影响。
例句:The stories of great scientists inspire me to work hard and never lose hope even when things seem difficult.(伟大科学家的故事激励我努力学习,即使在困难的时候也永不失去希望。)
⑫ It is important for young people to have role models who show us what is possible.
解析:It is important for young people to have role models为“It作形式主语 + for sb + to do”结构。role models意为“榜样、楷模”。who show us what is possible为定语从句,修饰role models,其中what is possible为宾语从句。
例句:It is important for students to have teachers who encourage them to think critically and creatively.(对学生来说,有鼓励他们批判性和创造性思考的老师很重要。)
⑬ It is kind of him to share his knowledge with farmers and help them improve their crops.
解析:It is kind of him to... 为“It作形式主语 + of sb + to do”结构。kind描述人的品质,用of。share...with... 意为“与……分享”。该句再次使用of句型,强调钟扬的善良品质。
例句:It is kind of you to offer your seat to the elderly on the crowded bus.(在拥挤的公交车上给老人让座,你真是好心。)
⑭ His work helped reduce hunger and brought hope to millions.
解析:helped reduce为“help (to) do”结构,不定式符号to可省略。reduce hunger意为“减少饥饿”。brought hope to millions意为“给数百万人带来希望”。该句总结钟扬工作的社会影响。
例句:The new farming methods helped increase food production and brought hope to farmers in poor areas.(新的耕作方法帮助提高了粮食产量,给贫困地区的农民带来了希望。)
⑮ We all have something in common — we all need someone to look up to.
解析:have something in common为单元核心短语,意为“有共同点”。look up to为单元核心短语,意为“钦佩、仰慕”。破折号后解释说明“共同点”的具体内容。
例句:Although we come from different countries, we all have something in common — we all need love and respect.(虽然我们来自不同的国家,但我们都有共同点——我们都需要爱和尊重。)
⑯ It is not easy for everyone to find their own path, but with determination and hard work, anything is possible.
解析:It is not easy for everyone to find their own path为“It作形式主语 + for sb + to do”结构的否定形式。find one's own path意为“找到自己的路”。with determination and hard work为介词短语作条件状语。该句为读者提供鼓励。
例句:It is not easy for anyone to master a foreign language in a short time, but with consistent practice, progress is achievable.(对任何人来说,在短时间内掌握一门外语都不容易,但通过持续练习,进步是可以实现的。)
⑰ Dr. Zhong lived on through his seeds and his spirit.
解析:lived on意为“继续存在、永存”。through his seeds and his spirit意为“通过他的种子和精神”。该句表达钟扬虽然离世,但其事业和精神永存。
例句:The great writer lives on through his books and the inspiration they bring to readers around the world.(这位伟大的作家通过他的作品以及它们给全世界读者带来的激励而永存。)
⑱ He left behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
解析:left behind为单元核心短语,意为“留下”。a legacy意为“遗产、遗赠”。that will continue to inspire generations to come为定语从句,修饰legacy。generations to come意为“未来的世代”。
例句:The scientist left behind a rich collection of research papers that will benefit generations to come.(这位科学家留下了丰富的研究论文,将使未来的世代受益。)
⑲ Above all, what I have learned from Dr. Zhong is this: true greatness does not come from fame or money — it comes from serving others.
解析:Above all为单元核心短语,意为“最重要的是”。what I have learned from Dr. Zhong为名词性从句(what引导的主语从句),作整个句子的主语。true greatness意为“真正的伟大”。serve others意为“服务他人”。冒号后解释“this”的具体内容。
例句:Above all, what I have learned from my parents is that honesty and kindness matter more than wealth.(最重要的是,我从父母身上学到的是,诚实和善良比财富更重要。)
⑳ It is our responsibility to carry on his spirit and make the world a better place.
解析:It is our responsibility to do... 为“It作形式主语 + 名词 + to do”结构的拓展(本单元核心句型“It is + adj. + to do”的变体)。carry on意为“传承、继续”。make the world a better place意为“让世界变得更美好”。该句提出呼吁——传承精神、付诸行动。
例句:It is our responsibility to protect the environment and pass on a healthy planet to future generations.(保护环境、把一个健康的地球传给后代是我们的责任。)
㉑ Please remember — everyone can be inspiring.
解析:Please remember为祈使句(肯定式,加please表委婉)。everyone can be inspiring为宾语从句(省略that)。该句提出第一个启示——每个人都可以是鼓舞人心的。
例句:Please remember — even a smile can brighten someone's day and inspire them to be kind to others.(请记住——即使一个微笑也能照亮某人的一天,激励他们善待他人。)
㉒ Don't ever underestimate the power of one person's dedication.
解析:Don't ever underestimate为否定祈使句,ever加强语气。underestimate意为“低估”。dedication意为“奉献、投入”。该句提出第二个启示——不要低估一个人的奉献力量。
例句:Don't ever underestimate the positive influence you can have on others by being a good role model.(永远不要低估你通过做好榜样能给他人带来的积极影响。)
㉓ Who knows what you might achieve if you never give up?
解析:Who knows为特殊疑问句,疑问词Who作主语。what you might achieve为宾语从句,用陈述语序。if you never give up为条件状语从句。该句以反问句结尾,引人思考——永不放弃,谁也不知道你会取得什么成就。
例句:Who knows what wonderful opportunities you might discover if you keep exploring the world with curiosity?(如果你带着好奇心不断探索世界,谁知道你会发现什么精彩的机会呢?)

6. 常见错误警示
错例1:混淆for和of
❌ It is kind for you to help me.
✅ It is kind of you to help me.
解析:kind描述人的品质,用of。
错例2:该用for时误用of
❌ It is important of us to learn English.
✅ It is important for us to learn English.
解析:important描述事情的特征,用for。
错例3:that从句作真正主语时遗漏连接词that
❌ It is surprising she got full marks.
✅ It is surprising that she got full marks.
解析:that从句作真正主语时,that不可省略。
错例4:不定式作真正主语时遗漏to
❌ It is important for us learn English.
✅ It is important for us to learn English.
解析:不定式作真正主语时,to不可省略。
错例5:that从句与不定式结构的混淆
❌ It is important for us that we learn English.
✅ It is important for us to learn English.
解析:当形容词后接for sb时,真正主语应用不定式,而非that从句。

六、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成各项任务。
A Scientist Who Loved the Earth
Rachel Carson is one of history's most inspiring figures — a scientist who changed the way we think about the environment. It is admirable that she devoted her life to protecting nature. She was born in 1907 in a small town in the United States and developed a deep love for nature from a very young age.
Carson studied biology and became a marine biologist. She was also a gifted writer. It was wise of her to combine science with writing, making complex ideas understandable to ordinary people. She wrote several books about the ocean, but her most famous work was Silent Spring, published in 1962.
In Silent Spring, Carson warned that chemicals were harming the environment and endangering human health. Many people in the chemical industry attacked her and said she was wrong. It was brave of her to stand up against powerful interests and speak the truth. She did not give up, even though she was very ill at the time.
Carson's work led to important changes. New laws were passed to protect the environment. It is important for us to remember her legacy — she showed us that one person can make a difference.
It is our responsibility to carry on her work and protect the planet for future generations. Her story inspires people around the world to care for the earth and all living things.
[注:Rachel Carson 蕾切尔·卡逊,美国海洋生物学家、环保运动先驱。Silent Spring《寂静的春天》,现代环保运动的奠基之作。]

参考答案与解析
精读范文读后思考
1. Dr. Zhong Yang was a seed scientist from China. He devoted his entire life to studying seeds, protecting biodiversity, and training local students to do field research.
2. The speaker admires Dr. Zhong Yang not because he was wealthy or powerful, but because he had the courage to do what others thought was impossible. He was brave, kind, and dedicated to serving others.
3. We can learn that true greatness does not come from fame or money — it comes from serving others. We should never give up and always remember that even the smallest things can make a difference.
一、词汇与语法选择
1. B —— inspiring意为“鼓舞人心的”,与单元主题呼应。ordinary“普通的”、old-fashioned“过时的”、common“常见的”均不符合“最鼓舞人心的科学家之一”的语境。
2. C —— It is为固定句式,真正主语为后面的that从句。That's/This is/There is均不能构成“It is + adj. + that从句”结构。
3. A ——entered意为“进入”,与“at the age of 15”和“became a professor”构成合理的时间线——15岁上大学。dropped out of“辍学”、left behind“留下”、came true“实现”均不符合语境。原题中“dropped out of...and entered university”存在语义矛盾,已修正为“entered university”。
4. D —— It为形式主语,真正主语为后面的不定式to travel。That/This/There均不能作形式主语。
5. C —— to do表示目的,train sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“训练某人做某事”。
6. D—— It为形式主语,真正主语为后面的that从句。
7. C —— not与后面的but构成“不是因为……而是因为……”的并列结构。not only需与but also搭配;either用于否定句末;neither意为“两者都不”。
8. D —— but与前面的not构成not...but...结构。and/or/so均不能构成此结构。
9. B ——left behind意为“留下”,set up“建立”、looked up to“钦佩”、dropped out of“辍学”均不符合“留下遗产”的语境。
10. A ——Above all意为“最重要的是”,After all“毕竟”、At all“根本”、About all无此搭配。
二、后缀与词形变换
1. scientist —— 句意“想成为一名科学家”,后缀-ist表示“……专家”。
2. historian —— 句意“这位历史学家写了一本书”,后缀-ian表示“从事……的人”,history变y为i加an。
3. physicists —— 句意“最伟大的物理学家之一”,one of后接可数名词复数,后缀-ist,physicist的复数为physicists。
4. researcher —— 句意“这位年轻的研究员”,后缀-er表示“做……的人”。
5. thinker —— 句意“这位思想家认为”,后缀-er表示“做……的人”。
6. Inspired —— 句首作状语,过去分词表示被动,“受到祖父故事的激励”,首字母大写。
7. admiration —— 句意“她对老师的钦佩”,形容词性物主代词后接名词,admire的名词形式为admiration。
8. discoveries —— 句意“做出了许多重要发现”,many后接可数名词复数,discovery变y为i加es。
9. wisdom —— 句意“展现了极大的智慧”,great后接名词,wise的名词形式为wisdom。
10. dedication —— 句意“这些志愿者的奉献”,the后接名词,dedicate的名词形式为dedication。
三、句型转换
1. It; to —— It作形式主语,不定式to learn English well为真正主语。
2. It; of —— brave描述人的品质,用of,可改写为He was brave to travel...。
3. It; that —— It作形式主语,that从句为真正主语。
4. You; to —— of句型可改写为“Sb is adj. to do”结构。
5. not; to —— 否定形式在be动词后加not。
6. Why —— 对原因状语(because...)提问用Why。
7. that/which —— 定语从句修饰legacy,that/which均可指物。
8. for; to —— It is important for us to have role models.
四、补全对话
1. B —— 上文说“她太棒了”,下文应表达“她那样做真勇敢”。It was brave of her to do that.符合。
2. A —— 下文说“我也钦佩她”,上文应问“你最钦佩谁?”Who do you admire most?符合。
3. E —— 下文应解释钦佩的原因“不是因为她出名,而是因为她永不放弃”。Not because she is famous, but because she never gives up.符合。
4. C —— 下文说“榜样向我们展示了……”,上文应表达“有榜样很重要”。It is important for us to have role models.符合。
5. G —— 上文说“每当我想放弃时,我就想起她的故事继续前进”,应表达“她激励我更努力学习”。She has inspired me to work harder on my studies.符合。
五、完成句子
1. It; that —— It作形式主语,that从句为真正主语。
2. It; for —— for引出不定式的逻辑主语(us)。
3. It; of —— brave描述人的品质,用of。
4. It; for —— important描述事情特征,用for。
5. It; of —— kind描述人的品质,用of。
6. in; to —— have...in common为固定搭配;look up to为固定搭配。
7. left —— leave behind为固定搭配,过去式left。
8. Above —— Above all为固定短语。
9. It; to —— It作形式主语,不定式to carry on为真正主语。
10. drop —— drop out of为固定搭配,助动词did后接动词原形。
