【周周有招】登顶班讲义第14讲Unit8（家宴邀请的表达艺术与状语从句突破）2026-2027学年人教版八年级英语上册

Unit 8 Let’s Communicate! 精品讲义2026秋八年级（上）英语-新教材人教版 第14讲 家宴邀请的表达艺术与状语从句突破 写作+词汇+语法+语篇综合（教师版） 写作综合课 ● 邀请邮件·高频动词·状语从句·语篇结构 【课时安排】 本讲为 Unit 8 Let’s Communicate! （写作+词汇+语法+语篇综合课）建议用时 2 课时。 【学习目标】 1．能按“时间—地点—美食—原因—餐后活动”五要素写出一封家宴邀请邮件，并正确运用强调句 It is...that... 与 when 时间状语从句； 2．能依据“主语是谁 → 及物与否 → 介词搭配”的判定顺序，正确选用 pay / cost / offer / benefit / reply / sentence，并区分 spend / pay / take / cost 四词； 3．能运用“三步法”（看逻辑关系 → 查连用禁忌 → 验时态）判断让步、时间、条件、原因状语从句的连词，并能概括段意、合并同类段分析说明文段落结构。 一、写作精读：一封“有温度”的邀请邮件 【真题与审题】 这道题以李华家春节一场“Food For Love”主题家宴为情境，要求给远在北京的 Uncle Zhang 写一封电子邮件。先别急着把中文提示翻成英文凑句子——那样十个有九个漏要素、乱时态。 审题先做减法，只看三个硬指标：① 体裁，电子邮件必须有称呼和落款；② 人称，第一人称，时态以一般现在时、一般将来时为主；③ 信息，五个提示要点（时间、地点、美食、原因、餐后活动）一个都不能漏，漏一个丢一分。 【五要素拆解（先搭骨架，再填血肉）】 维度 对应表达 句式升级点 时间 on Spring Festival Eve 具体某天的晚上用 on 地点 at our home 小地点用 at 美食 dumplings, fish, local snacks 定语从句：snacks that carry warm wishes 原因 family reunion warms our hearts because 引导原因状语从句 餐后 watch the Spring Festival Gala 一般将来时 will 多数学生一拿到题就逐句翻译中文提示，结果要素漏、时态乱。正确顺序反过来：列要素 → 配句式 → 串段落 → 查时态、介词、连词。先把五个要素当“填空格子”摆出来，再往格子里填句子，比边想边写稳得多。 【范文定稿（10 处设空）】 Dear Uncle Zhang, I’m so glad to hear that you will come 1. ____ home soon. We will hold a family dinner themed “Food For Love” at our home on Spring Festival Eve. Because family reunion 2. ____ (warm) our hearts, we are preparing this dinner to share family love. It makes us 3. ____ (joy) to gather together and enjoy the most delicious local snacks that carry warm festival wishes. 4. ____ (welcome) you back, my parents have 5. ____ (prepare) all your favorite dishes. 6. ____ you arrive, we will start the dinner. Besides, since you’ve been in Beijing for a long 7. ____, we sincerely hope you can come back and stay with us for the festival. Only such a reunion can make the new year warm. It is family love that 8. ____ (make) this dinner 9. ____ (mean). After dinner, we will watch the Spring Festival Gala together. I’m looking forward 10. ____ your arrival! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案与解析】 1. back——“come back home”固定搭配，home 是副词，前面不加 to。这一处基本靠记。 2. warms——主语 family reunion 表单数概念，一般现在时第三人称加 -s。判断词：先看主语是谁。 3. joyful——“make＋宾语＋形容词”，空位是补语，只能放形容词；joy 是名词，装不进去。 4. To welcome——句首表目的用不定式。若填 Welcoming，就成了伴随，逻辑偏了。 5. prepared——“have＋过去分词”构成现在完成时，表示“已备好”。 6. When——时间状语从句，主句用 will，从句用一般现在时（主将从现，高发错点）。 7. time——“for a long time”固定搭配，介词 for 后接名词。这里最容易手滑填成 moment。 8. makes——强调句 It is...that...，被强调部分是单数 family love，谓语用单数。 9. meaningful——“make＋宾语＋形容词”，meaning 是名词，同样装不进去。 10. to——“look forward to”里的 to 是介词，后接名词或动名词，不是不定式符号。 【错误路径演示】 错① Although it is not very popular, but I enjoy it. 正① Although it is not very popular, I enjoy it. although 和 but 不能同现——这是汉语“虽然……但是……”的负迁移，只能二选一。 错② It makes me joy to gather together. 正② It makes me joyful to gather together. make 后宾补用形容词。joy 是名词，joyful 才是形容词。 错③ We will hold the dinner in Spring Festival Eve. 正③ ...on Spring Festival Eve. 具体某天的晚上用 on，不用 in。 【写作微技能与迁移仿写】 功能 模板 强调情怀 It is family love that makes ... meaningful. 表达期待 I’m looking forward to your arrival. 约定时间 When you arrive, we will start ... 仿写任务：邀请住在上海的表姐参加中秋家宴，用上表至少两个句式，写三句话，回应时间、美食、原因。 参考示例：We will have a family dinner at our home on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival. When you arrive, we will enjoy mooncakes and admire the full moon together. It is family love that makes this reunion meaningful, so I’m looking forward to your coming. 二、核心词汇：六个高频误用词 很多同学以为“背了中文释义就能做题”，结果一考就翻车。本讲换一条路：先判主语是谁，再判及物与否，最后判介词搭配。判定顺序固定，六词通吃，也顺带把 spend / pay / take / cost 这“四朵金花”一起收编。 【1. pay（v. 付费；付酬）】 结构：pay (sb) for sth ／ pay a visit to sb ／ pay one’s respects to sb ／ pay off 奏效、得到回报 I’ll pay for the tickets. 我来买票。 Studying every day paid off. 每天学习的付出得到了回报。 错：I paid the ticket.　正：I paid for the ticket. “为某物付款”须加 for；pay sb 则是“付钱给某人”。一字之差，考场上就看这点。 【2. cost（v. 需付费；使丧失　n. 费用）】 结构：物＋cost＋(人)＋金钱 ／ cost sb sth 使某人失去 ／ at the cost of 以……为代价 ／ at any cost 无论如何 必背：cost 的过去式、过去分词与原形同形，都是 cost——这是考试高频陷阱，绝不能写成 costed。 The meal cost us about 100 yuan. 这顿饭花了我们约 100 元。 That mistake almost cost him his life. 那个失误差点让他丧命。 错：I cost 20 yuan for the book.　正：The book cost me 20 yuan. cost 表“花费”时主语必须是物，和人、和钱都无关。 【3. offer（v. 主动提出；给予　n. 提议）】 结构：offer to do sth ／ offer sb sth = offer sth to sb ／ accept（refuse）an offer The kids offered to do the dishes. 孩子们主动要求洗盘子。 They decided to offer the job to Jo. 他们决定把工作给乔。 错：He offered helping me.　正：He offered to help me. offer 后接不定式，不接动名词。 【4. benefit（v. 有益于；受益　n. 益处）】 结构：benefit sb 使某人受益（及物） ／ benefit from sth 从……受益（不及物） ／ beneficial adj. The rain will benefit the crops greatly. 这场雨对庄稼大有好处。 We can benefit from reading English articles. 读英文短文让我们收获良多。 错：We can benefit the book.　正：We can benefit from the book. 不及物须加 from；若直接接宾语，主语就得换成“书”。反过来说：benefit 后有没有 from，取决于“谁让谁受益”。 【5. reply（v./n. 回答；答复）】 结构：reply to sb/sth（不及物，必须加 to） ／ reply＋that 从句 ／ make no reply 没有答复 Please reply to my email as soon as possible. 请尽快回复我的邮件。 He replied that he would come on time. 他回复说会准时来。 错：Please reply my message.　正：Please reply to my message. 或 Please answer my message. answer 是及物动词，reply 作“答复”时不及物，须加 to。同义但语法位置不同。 【6. sentence（v. 判决；宣判　n. 句子；判决）】 纠错：sentence 作动词时只有“判决、宣判”一个意思，没有“句子”义；“句子”是名词义。 结构：sentence sb to death / to two years in prison ／ pronounce sentence 宣判 The judge sentenced the thief to two years in prison yesterday. 昨天法官判这个小偷两年徒刑。 错：The judge sentenced the criminal three years.　正：...sentenced the criminal to three years in prison. 介词 to 不可省，判某人几年刑，中间的 to 就是考点。 【7. 词性转换】 pay v. → paid（过去式/过去分词，不规则）→ payment n. 付款 offer v./n. → offering n. 供品 cost v./n. → cost（过去式/过去分词，三态同形）→ costless adj. 免费的；costly adj. 昂贵的 benefit n./v. → beneficial adj. 有益的 reply v./n. 同形，不及物，加 to sentence v./n. → sentenced（过去式/过去分词） 【8. 四朵金花：spend / pay / take / cost】 词 主语 结构 搭配 spend 人 spend＋时间/钱＋on＋名词；spend＋时间/钱＋(in) doing 时间、金钱均可 pay 人 pay＋钱＋for＋物 金钱 take it It takes sb＋时间＋to do 只接时间 cost 物 物＋cost＋(人)＋钱 金钱 错① I cost 20 yuan to buy the book.　正① I spent 20 yuan (in) buying the book. 错② It took me 20 yuan to buy the book.　正② It took me 20 minutes to buy the book. 错③ I spent 20 yuan on buy the book.　正③ I spent 20 yuan (in) buying the book. on 后只接名词；动词得用 in＋动名词。记住这条，就能避开最常见的误配。 【9. 语境识词（先看位置，再定词义）】 1．You must pay for the books you borrowed if you lose them. He will pay a visit to his grandparents this weekend. 2．The kind teacher will offer us patient help. Through her efforts, she received a good offer from a famous key school. 3．This schoolbag with a nice pattern cost me 120 yuan. The careless mistake cost him a good chance to enter the competition. 4．Doing exercise every morning will benefit our body and mind. We can get a lot of benefit from reading English articles. 5．Please reply to my email soon, and I haven’t received his reply to my question. 6．Make a sentence with the word “brave”: The brave judge will sentence the criminal to three years in prison. 第 6 句 sentence 两现——前为名词“句子”，后为动词“判决”。一词多义须看语法位置，不可先入为主。 三、词汇过关训练 【一、根据中文提示完成句子】 1．I will ____ ____ (为……付费) the tickets because it’s my turn to treat everyone. pay for。pay for＋物，表示为某物付款。 2．We should ____ our ____ ____ (向……表示敬意) the old people in the community. pay; respects; to。pay one’s respects to sb 向某人表示敬意，respects 用复数。 3．He ____ ____ (得益于) the after-school classes and made great progress in math. benefited from。benefit from 从……受益；与 made 并列，用过去式。 4．Please ____ ____ (答复) my message as soon as possible — I need your help. reply to。reply 不及物，reply to sth 答复某物。 5．The judge will ____ the criminal ____ two years in prison tomorrow morning. (宣判) sentence; to。sentence sb to... 宣判某人。 6．He ____ an hour ____ (花一小时在……上) his homework every evening. spends; on。spend＋时间＋on＋名词。 7．It ____ ____ thirty minutes ____ (花我 30 分钟) walk to school every day. takes; me; to。It takes sb＋时间＋to do sth。 8．The meal ____ ____ about 100 yuan (花了我们大约 100 元) when we ate out last night. cost us。主语为物，物＋cost＋人＋钱；cost 三态同形。 9．His hard work finally ____ ____ (奏效) and he passed the exam successfully. paid off。pay off 奏效、得到回报。 10．He is determined to finish the task ____ ____ ____ (无论如何) before the deadline. at any cost。固定习语。 【二、单句语法填空】 1．My parents ____ (pay) a visit to my uncle who lives in Beijing last week. paid。last week 用过去式，pay—paid—paid。 2．The company ____ (offer) us a good working environment and a fair salary. offers。单数主语，一般现在时。 3．His carelessness ____ (cost) him the first prize in the competition last term. cost。三态同形，不可写 costed。 4．Taking exercise every day ____ (benefit) our body and mind and helps us keep healthy. benefits。动名词作主语，谓语单数。 5．He refused ____ (reply) to my invitation to the birthday party. to reply。refuse to do。 6．The judge ____ (sentence) the thief who stole the money to two years in prison yesterday. sentenced。yesterday 用过去式；sentence sb to...。 【三、短语填空】 方框：pay for / spend...doing / benefit from / reply to / pay off 1．He refused to ____ ____ the meal because he didn’t eat anything. pay for。refuse to 后接原形。 2．The old man ____ a lot of time (in) ____ flowers in his garden. spends; growing。spend＋时间＋(in) doing。 3．We can all ____ ____ his useful advice and improve ourselves. benefit from。can 后接原形。 4．He didn’t ____ ____ my email, so I left him a message. reply to。didn’t 后接原形。 5．He worked hard day and night, and his efforts ____ ____ in the end. paid off。与 worked 并列，用过去式。 四、语篇复现：The Lost Wallet 阅读短文，填入括号内词的适当形式或恰当的词。 When Tom found a wallet, he offered (1) ____ (return) it to the owner. It (2) ____ (take) him an hour to wait for the owner to come back, but the grateful man (3) ____ (pay) him a reward. Tom smiled, “Helping others (4) ____ (benefit) everyone.” The man replied, “Your honesty deserves this!” Later, the police found the thief. The judge sentenced him (5) ____ two years in prison. Tom’s behaviour (6) ____ (cost) him nothing but brought him a lot. 1. to return。offer to do。 2. took。It takes sb...to do；表“花时间”，这里优先用 take，不写 spent。 3. paid。pay sb a reward。 4. benefits。动名词作主语，谓语单数。 5. to。sentence sb to...。 6. cost。主语为物；三态同形。 写作提示：sentence 只用于法律宣判，不用于抽象“后悔”。 五、核心语法：状语从句分层训练 【考点分层导航】 A 基础巩固：1、3、5、7、10、12、13、15　｜　B 能力提升：2、4、6、8、9、11、14、16、18　｜　C 中考适配：17、19、20 连词判定三步法：一看主从句逻辑关系（让步／时间／条件／原因）；二查连用禁忌（although 不与 but 连用，because 不与 so 连用）；三验时态（时间、条件状语从句“主将从现”）。三步走完再落笔，比凭语感稳。 1．— What do you think of this song? — ____ it is not very popular, I enjoy it. A. If　B. When　C. Because　D. Although D。although 引导让步，“虽然不流行，但我喜欢”。if 表条件、when 表时间、because 表原因，都接不上这层转折。 2．____ it was very cold, ____ my friend still went swimming in Jialing River this morning. A. Although; but　B. Although; /　C. But; /　D. /; / B。although 与 but 只能用一个，这道就是在考“连用禁忌”。 3．My parents love me ____ they don’t have much time to stay with me. A. although　B. however　C. so　D. but A。however 是副词不能引导从句；so 表结果；but 不能与 although 同现。 4．— By the way, have you heard of Zhang Guimei, a headmaster of Huaping Girls’ High School? — Yes. She always says ____ she has one breath, she will make sure every cent is spent on students. A. because　B. unless　C. though　D. as long as D。as long as 表“只要”，条件意味最强，最贴合“有一口气就……”的誓言。every cent is spent on students 是被动语态。 5．I didn’t go to bed ____ my father came back late last night. A. so　B. until　C. though　D. although B。not...until，“直到父亲回来我才睡”。 6．You won’t improve your English ____ you work harder. A. unless　B. because　C. if　D. after A。unless = if...not。选 if 句意就反了。 7．I still keep taking exercise every day ____ I am busy with so many subjects. A. until　B. unless　C. though　D. because C。“忙”与“仍坚持锻炼”之间是让步，不是条件也不是原因。 8．Little Tony was happy to get a gift from his friend, ____ the gift was only a card. A. though　B. because　C. so　D. if A。“只是张卡片”与“照样开心”构成让步。 9．____ there are many differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. A. If　B. When　C. Though　D. Because C。“差异多”与“有共同点”转折，让步关系。 10．— Doctor, may I come in now? — Sorry! Please wait in your chair ____ I call your name. A. although　B. until　C. after　D. because B。wait 是延续性动作，与 until 连用表“一直等到”。 11．— You don’t look well. What’s wrong? — Last night I did my homework and didn’t go to bed ____ 11 o’clock. A. when　B. until　C. because　D. if B。not...until，又是一个。 12．You can pass the exam ____ you study hard.

A. while　B. after　C. if　D. until C。be not sure if/whether 中 if 意为“是否”，引导的是宾语从句，不是条件。 14．Amy and I were making a snowman ____ a snowball hit us. A. when　B. while　C. as　D. after A。be doing...when... 表“正在做……这时突然……”。 15．Sally can’t come to the party ____ the singing competition.

A. when　B. after　C. until　D. unless C。not...until，“直到离开学校才意识到”。 17．As we live in a rapidly developing world, we will be left behind ____ we keep learning. A. unless　B. if　C. after　D. though A。unless，“除非坚持学习，否则被落下”。选 if 反而自相矛盾。 18．You will certainly make a big difference ____ you keep working hard. A. as long as　B. until　C. before　D. although A。as long as 表“只要”，强调条件充分。 19．I don’t know if he ____ tomorrow; if he ____, I’ll tell him about it. A. will come; comes　B. comes; will come　C. will come; will come　D. comes; comes A。第一空 if＝“是否”，宾语从句用将来时 will come；第二空 if＝“如果”，条件从句用一般现在时 comes。同一个 if，两种身份，正好考“主将从现”。 20．Students are not supposed to enter the teacher’s office ____ they are allowed to. A. unless　B. if they have questions　C. when they are asked to come in　D. because A。not...unless，“除非得到允许，否则不应进入”。B、D 语义不符；C 若选，句意会变成“不该进办公室，却被叫进去时”——读着就别扭，主句的否定语气和它接不上。 六、语篇技巧：阅读理解——文章结构 解题策略：结构题不看细节，只看段间关系。操作口诀——先一句话概括每段大意，再合并同类段，最后比对选项。 【（一）】 ① Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better about the relationship between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. ② The first kind of friend is an acquaintance, and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you may not tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. ③ The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about your deepest feelings. ④ The last kind, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest about. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong, and never hurt you on purpose. Remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How is the passage organized? A. ①/②/③/④　B. ①/②③④　C. ①②/③④　D. ①②③/④ B。①总起提出三种朋友，②—④分述，是“总—分”结构。 2．What is a “pest friend” like? A. Someone you share deepest feelings with.　B. Someone whose name you may only know. C. Someone who always corrects you.　D. Someone who lives in your house. B。由“只知其名”得出；A、C 都是 best friend 的特征。 3．What can we learn from the last sentence? A. Best friends never hurt each other by accident.　B. Acquaintances can never become best friends. C. Friendship usually develops step by step.　D. There are only three kinds of friends in life. C。“最好的朋友始于熟人”说明友谊是逐步发展的；A 与 never hurt on purpose 不符，B 与原文相反。 【（二）】 ① Do you know acupuncture? For thousands of years, the Chinese have been using it to help sick people get well. There are many points on the human body, where qi runs around to offer energy to the body. When qi can’t run around easily, using acupuncture can make qi run around again. ② Acupuncture is not helpful at all for some people, but it really works for others. Li Ming, who works in front of the computer, says that acupuncture really helps with her dry eyes. After trying many ways, a friend asks her to see a doctor at Beijing Tongren Hospital. The doctor is good at acupuncture. Li’s treatment lasts one and a half years, and after more than 130 visits, her eyes became good again, and she goes back to work. ③ According to a study by WHO, acupuncture is the most widely used traditional medicine practice. Between 2002 and 2012, the number of people getting acupuncture and the number of licensed acupuncturists grew by 50 percent and 100 percent in the US. Now, it is used in over 100 countries. 1．How is the passage organized? A. ①/②/③　B. ①/②③　C. ①②/③　D. ①②③ B。①讲历史与原理，②实例、③WHO 数据为分述，故 ①/②③。 2．How long did Li Ming’s treatment last? A. One and a half months.　B. One and a half years.　C. Over 130 years.　D. Seven weeks. B。treatment lasts one and a half years；130 是就诊次数，不是时长。 3．What does the WHO study mainly show? A. Acupuncture is only popular in China.　B. Acupuncture is becoming more widely used. C. Acupuncture can cure every eye disease.　D. Acupuncture costs an arm and a leg. B。人数与执业者增长、百余国使用，说明应用更广；A、C 与原文相悖，D 未提及。 【（三）】 ① Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. The test studies personality in eight ways, and each way uses a letter. For example, the letter “I” means you are shy and “E” means you are outgoing. After the test, each person gets a four-letter result. In all, there are sixteen kinds of personality in the test. ② Why do people want to take the MBTI test? Most people take it for fun, but some don’t. “People want to learn about themselves and others,” Guo Yongyu, an expert, told the magazine. When people know more about each other, they may find it easier to get along. However, a girl says that sharing results should not be the only way to find friends, and sometimes it could make her lose possible good friends. ③ Rita, from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, took the test once. She doesn’t want to use it in her life again. It made her feel like it’s limiting how people can be, as if there were only 16 kinds of people in the world. “Everyone is different, and it’s not right to put people into groups,” she says. The personality test is just for fun, and everyone’s personality has more possibilities. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The reasons why people take the MBTI test and different opinions.　B. The sixteen kinds of personality in the MBTI test. C. How to make friends with an “E” person.　D. Why Rita dislikes the MBTI test. A。第②段先讲人们做测试的原因，再讲专家观点与不同看法。 2．What does the letter “E” mean in the MBTI test? A. Shy.　B. Outgoing.　C. Serious.　D. Honest. B。“E” means outgoing；I 与 E 含义相对，最容易记混。 3．What is Rita’s attitude towards the MBTI test? A. She thinks it is the best way to find friends.　B. She believes it truly shows one’s personality. C. She dislikes it because it may limit people.　D. She wants to take it more often. C。Rita 认为测试限制人、不该贴标签，态度是否定的；A、B、D 与原文相反。 七、课后巩固 【练习一　词语填空】 方框：prepare / meaningful / reply to / benefit / cost / unless Dear Aunt Mary, We are going to hold a family dinner to celebrate Grandpa’s 70th birthday.

In many Chinese families, it is the moment when love is passed on. A survey shows that teenagers who often have dinner with their parents feel closer to them and do better at school. ② However, things are changing. With the development of smartphones, more family members eat in silence, each looking at a screen. Some parents are too busy to cook, and children are busy with homework. As a result, the “silent dinner” has become common. ③ Experts suggest setting “no-phone time” during dinner. When phones are put away, family members start talking again. Sharing what happened at school or at work helps everyone understand each other better. A good family dinner does not require expensive food. What really matters is that everyone is present and willing to listen. 1．How is the passage organized? A. ①/②/③　B. ①/②③　C. ①②/③　D. ①②③ B。①总起说意义，②问题、③建议为分述。 2．What is the “silent dinner” mainly caused by? A. Expensive food.　B. The use of smartphones and busy life. C. Poor cooking skills.　D.

We will hold a family dinner themed “Food For Love” at our home on Spring Festival Eve. Because family reunion 2. ____ (warm) our hearts, we are preparing this dinner to share family love. It makes us 3. ____ (joy) to gather together and enjoy the most delicious local snacks that carry warm festival wishes. 4. ____ (welcome) you back, my parents have 5. ____ (prepare) all your favorite dishes. 6. ____ you arrive, we will start the dinner.

It is family love that 8. ____ (make) this dinner 9. ____ (mean). After dinner, we will watch the Spring Festival Gala together. I’m looking forward 10. ____ your arrival! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【错误路径演示·改一改】 三位同学在改写时踩了三个坑。找出每处错在哪，把它改对。 错① Although it is not very popular, but I enjoy it. 想一想：although 和 but 能同时出现在一个句子里吗？应保留哪个？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 错② It makes me joy to gather together. 想一想：make＋宾语之后，补语该用名词 joy 还是形容词 joyful？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 错③ We will hold the dinner in Spring Festival Eve. 想一想：具体某一天的晚上，介词用 in 还是 on？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【写作微技能与迁移仿写】 仿写任务：邀请住在上海的表姐参加中秋家宴，用上至少两个句式，写三句话，回应时间、美食、原因。 可用句式：We will have... at ... on ... ／ When you arrive, we will ... ／ It is family love that makes ... ／ I’m looking forward to ... 我的作文： ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【自我检查】 写完对照五要素打勾：□ 称呼与落款　□ 时间　□ 地点　□ 美食　□ 原因　□ 餐后活动　□ 时态（一般现在/将来） 二、核心词汇：六个高频误用词 很多同学以为“背了中文释义就能做题”，结果一考就翻车。本讲换一条路：先判主语是谁，再判及物与否，最后判介词搭配。判定顺序固定，六词通吃，也顺带把 spend / pay / take / cost 这“四朵金花”一起收编。 【1. pay（v. 付费；付酬）】 结构：pay (sb) for sth ／ pay a visit to sb ／ pay one’s respects to sb ／ pay off 奏效、得到回报 I’ll pay for the tickets. 我来买票。 Studying every day paid off. 每天学习的付出得到了回报。 改一改：I paid the ticket. 想一想：“为某物付款”要不要加 for？pay sb 又是什么意思？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ “为某物付款”须加 for；pay sb 则是“付钱给某人”。一字之差，考场上就看这点。 【2. cost（v. 需付费；使丧失　n. 费用）】 结构：物＋cost＋(人)＋金钱 ／ cost sb sth 使某人失去 ／ at the cost of 以……为代价 ／ at any cost 无论如何 必背：cost 的过去式、过去分词与原形同形，都是 cost——这是考试高频陷阱，绝不能写成 costed。 The meal cost us about 100 yuan. 这顿饭花了我们约 100 元。 That mistake almost cost him his life. 那个失误差点让他丧命。 改一改：I cost 20 yuan for the book. 想一想：cost 表“花费”时，主语该是人还是物？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ cost 表“花费”时主语必须是物，和人、和钱都无关。 【3. offer（v. 主动提出；给予　n. 提议）】 结构：offer to do sth ／ offer sb sth = offer sth to sb ／ accept（refuse）an offer The kids offered to do the dishes. 孩子们主动要求洗盘子。 They decided to offer the job to Jo. 他们决定把工作给乔。 改一改：He offered helping me. 想一想：offer 后面接不定式还是动名词？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ offer 后接不定式，不接动名词。 【4. benefit（v. 有益于；受益　n. 益处）】 结构：benefit sb 使某人受益（及物） ／ benefit from sth 从……受益（不及物） ／ beneficial adj. The rain will benefit the crops greatly. 这场雨对庄稼大有好处。 We can benefit from reading English articles. 读英文短文让我们收获良多。 填一填：We can benefit ____ the book. 想一想：为什么这里要有 from？宾语换成“书”之后主语该变谁？ 我的答案：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 不及物须加 from；若直接接宾语，主语就得换成“书”。反过来说：benefit 后有没有 from，取决于“谁让谁受益”。 【5. reply（v./n. 回答；答复）】 结构：reply to sb/sth（不及物，必须加 to） ／ reply＋that 从句 ／ make no reply 没有答复 Please reply to my email as soon as possible. 请尽快回复我的邮件。 He replied that he would come on time. 他回复说会准时来。 改一改：Please reply my message. 想一想：reply 和 answer 都是“答复”，谁需要加 to？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ answer 是及物动词，reply 作“答复”时不及物，须加 to。同义但语法位置不同。 【6. sentence（v. 判决；宣判　n. 句子；判决）】 纠错：sentence 作动词时只有“判决、宣判”一个意思，没有“句子”义；“句子”是名词义。 结构：sentence sb to death / to two years in prison ／ pronounce sentence 宣判 The judge sentenced the thief to two years in prison yesterday. 昨天法官判这个小偷两年徒刑。 改一改：The judge sentenced the criminal three years. 想一想：判某人几年刑，“three years”前面缺了什么介词？ 我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 介词 to 不可省，判某人几年刑，中间的 to 就是考点。 【7. 词性转换】 pay v. → paid（过去式/过去分词，不规则）→ payment n. 付款 offer v./n. → offering n. 供品 cost v./n. → cost（过去式/过去分词，三态同形）→ costless adj. 免费的；costly adj. 昂贵的 benefit n./v. → beneficial adj. 有益的 reply v./n. 同形，不及物，加 to sentence v./n. → sentenced（过去式/过去分词） 【8. 四朵金花：spend / pay / take / cost】 这四朵金花的分工一句话记牢：spend 主语是人、花的是钱或时间；pay 主语是人、只为物付款；take 主语是 it、只谈时间；cost 主语是物、只谈钱。 错① I cost 20 yuan to buy the book. 想一想：买东西花钱，主语是人还是物？　我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 错② It took me 20 yuan to buy the book. 想一想：take 的 it 后面接钱还是接时间？　我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 错③ I spent 20 yuan on buy the book. 想一想：on 后面接名词还是动词原形？　我的修改：＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ on 后只接名词；动词得用 in＋动名词。记住这条，就能避开最常见的误配。 【9. 语境识词（先看位置，再定词义）】 读句子，写出句中划线词的含义。一词多义须看语法位置，不可先入为主。 1．You must pay for the books you borrowed if you lose them. He will pay a visit to his grandparents this weekend.　　pay 的词义：＿＿＿＿、＿＿＿＿ 2．The kind teacher will offer us patient help. Through her efforts, she received many offers.　　offer 的词义：＿＿＿＿、＿＿＿＿ 3．This schoolbag with a nice pattern cost me 120 yuan.

It (2) ____ (take) him an hour to wait for the owner to come back, but the grateful man (3) ____ (pay) him a reward.

Tom’s behaviour (6) ____ (cost) him nothing but brought him a lot. 写作提示：sentence 只用于法律宣判，不用于抽象“后悔”。 五、核心语法：状语从句分层训练 【考点分层导航】 A 基础巩固：1、3、5、7、10、12、13、15　｜　B 能力提升：2、4、6、8、9、11、14、16、18　｜　C 中考适配：17、19、20 连词判定三步法：一看主从句逻辑关系（让步／时间／条件／原因）；二查连用禁忌（although 不与 but 连用，because 不与 so 连用）；三验时态（时间、条件状语从句“主将从现”）。三步走完再落笔，比凭语感稳。 先练后讲：独立做完 1—20 题，再回头用三步法验证自己卡壳的题。 1．— What do you think of this song? — ____ it is not very popular, I enjoy it. 　　A.

Do you want to know better about the relationship between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. ② The first kind of friend is an acquaintance, and all you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friend does something bad, you may not tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”. ③ The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about your deepest feelings. ④ The last kind, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest about. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong, and never hurt you on purpose. Remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. 1．How is the passage organized? 　　A. ①/②/③/④　　B. ①/②③④　　C. ①②/③④　　D. ①②③/④ 　　我的选择：＿＿ 2．What is a “pest friend” like? 　　A. Someone you share deepest feelings with.　　B. Someone whose name you may only know.　　C. Someone who always corrects you.　　D. Someone who lives in your house. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 3．What can we learn from the last sentence? 　　A. Best friends never hurt each other by accident.　　B. Acquaintances can never become best friends.　　C. Friendship usually develops step by step.　　D. There are only three kinds of friends in life. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 【（二）】 ① Do you know acupuncture? For thousands of years, the Chinese have been using it to help sick people get well. There are many points on the human body, where qi runs around to offer energy to the body. When qi can’t run around easily, using acupuncture can make qi run around again. ② Acupuncture is not helpful at all for some people, but it really works for others. Li Ming, who works in front of the computer, says that acupuncture really helps with her dry eyes. After trying many ways, a friend asks her to see a doctor at Beijing Tongren Hospital. The doctor is good at acupuncture. Li’s treatment lasts one and a half years, and after more than 130 visits, her eyes became good again, and she goes back to work. ③ According to a study by WHO, acupuncture is the most widely used traditional medicine practice. Between 2002 and 2012, the number of people getting acupuncture and the number of licensed acupuncturists grew by 50 percent and 100 percent in the US. Now, it is used in over 100 countries. 1．How is the passage organized? 　　A. ①/②/③　　B. ①/②③　　C. ①②/③　　D. ①②③ 　　我的选择：＿＿ 2．How long did Li Ming’s treatment last? 　　A. One and a half months.　　B.

Acupuncture is becoming more widely used.　　C. Acupuncture can cure every eye disease.　　D. Acupuncture costs an arm and a leg. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 【（三）】 ① Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. The test studies personality in eight ways, and each way uses a letter. For example, the letter “I” means you are shy and “E” means you are outgoing. After the test, each person gets a four-letter result. In all, there are sixteen kinds of personality in the test. ② Why do people want to take the MBTI test? Most people take it for fun, but some don’t. “People want to learn about themselves and others,” Guo Yongyu, an expert, told the magazine. When people know more about each other, they may find it easier to get along. However, a girl says that sharing results should not be the only way to find friends, and sometimes it could make her lose possible good friends. ③ Rita, from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, took the test once. She doesn’t want to use it in her life again. It made her feel like it’s limiting how people can be, as if there were only 16 kinds of people in the world. “Everyone is different, and it’s not right to put people into groups,” she says. The personality test is just for fun, and everyone’s personality has more possibilities. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? 　　A. The reasons why people take the MBTI test and different opinions.　　B. The sixteen kinds of personality in the MBTI test.　　C. How to make friends with an “E” person.　　D. Why Rita dislikes the MBTI test. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 2．What does the letter “E” mean in the MBTI test? 　　A. Shy.　　B. Outgoing.　　C. Serious.　　D. Honest. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 3．What is Rita’s attitude towards the MBTI test? 　　A. She thinks it is the best way to find friends.　　B. She believes it truly shows one’s personality.　　C. She dislikes it because it may limit people.　　D. She wants to take it more often. 　　我的选择：＿＿ 七、课后巩固 【练习一　词语填空】 方框：prepare / meaningful / reply to / benefit / cost / unless Dear Aunt Mary, We are going to hold a family dinner to celebrate Grandpa’s 70th birthday.

In many Chinese families, it is the moment when love is passed on. A survey shows that teenagers who often have dinner with their parents feel closer to them and do better at school. ② However, things are changing. With the development of smartphones, more family members eat in silence, each looking at a screen. Some parents are too busy to cook, and children are busy with homework. As a result, the “silent dinner” has become common. ③ Experts suggest setting “no-phone time” during dinner. When phones are put away, family members start talking again. Sharing what happened at school or at work helps everyone understand each other better. A good family dinner does not require expensive food. What really matters is that everyone is present and willing to listen. 1．How is the passage organized? 　　A. ①/②/③　　B. ①/②③　　C. ①②/③　　D. ①②③ 　　我的选择：＿＿ 2．What is the “silent dinner” mainly caused by? 　　A.
