【典例讲解】
1.Could you tell me ?
A.what’s on your mind B.where does he live
C.what your mind was on D.where he lived in
【答案】A
【解析】
句意：你能告诉我你的想法是什么吗？考查宾语从句的用法。此题是考查宾语从句，宾语从句的语序是陈述语序，所以排除B、C；D答案中不必要用借此in，故选A。
2. ---Harry Potter studies hard at math _______.
---Yes. He makes up his ______ to improve his math.
A.recent, mind B.recent, thought C.recently, mind D.recently, thought
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：——最近哈利·波特努力学习数学。——是的。他下决心提高他的数学。recent最近的，是形容词；recently最近地，是副词；mind思维，thought想法。第一空修饰整个句子，故用副词recently。第二空根据短语make up one’s mind to do sth“下决心做某事”，故用名词mind。故选C。
【拓展】mind 固定搭配
on one’s mind 挂在心上，惦念 change one’s mind 改变主意
make up one’s mind 做出决定 keep ...in mind 将.....记在心上
in one’s mind 在某人脑海里 out of one’s mind 忘了

Swimming is my favourite sport.
【典例讲解】
_________ can help us learn _________ about the world.
A.Reading; a lot of B.Read; lots of C.Read; a lot D.Reading; a lot
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：阅读可以帮助我们了解更多的世界。考查动名词作主语和词汇辨析。句子中已有谓语动词“can help”，只需要一个非谓语动词，所以排除BC选项。a lot of=lots of表示“许多”，两者都修饰名词，a lot很，非常，副词；由learn可知，空处需用副词修饰动词；learn a lot意为“了解很多”，故选D。
知识点03 What’s up? 教材P48
【用法详解】
What’s up? = What’s wrong? = What’s the matter? = What happened? 怎么了？
What’s up? Why are you crying?
What’s up with the two girls?
【典例讲解】

I could go on for another two hours. 我再讲两个小时都讲不完。
I need another few days before l can make up my mind. 我还需几天才能决定。
【典例讲解】
This pair of binoculars ________ old. Please buy me ________, Mum.
A.is； another one B.are； another pair C.is； another pair D.are； another one
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：这副双筒望远镜旧了。请给我买另一副，妈妈。考查主谓一致。is/are系动词，is 表示单数；are表示复数；another one 另一个，one作代词，代指前面提到的名词；another pair 另一副，没有指定那一副；another pair of+复数名词，作主语时，中心词是pair而不是后面的名词，所以be动词用is；根据“This pair of binoculars…old. Please buy me…”及结合选项可知，这副双筒望远镜旧了，请给我买另一副，没有指定买那一副。故选C。
【拓展】
1.习语one after another意为“一个接一个地”“相继地”“依次地”，在句中主要用作状语。

【拓展】deal v. 处理，应付

能力拓展
1.—Would you mind waiting outside for a moment?
—________.
A.Never mind B.Of course C.Certainly not D.You are welcome
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：——你介意在外面等一会儿吗？——当然不。考查情景交际。Never mind没关系，用于回答道歉；Of course当然，用于表示显然、周所周知的事情；Certainly not当然不；You are welcome不客气，用于回答道谢。问句“Would you mind…”表示询问对方是否介意……，则应以“介意”或“不介意”作为答语，故“当然不”符合语境。故选C。
2.It _________ten years______ many changes _________ in the town.
A.is; since; have taken place B.is; after; happened
C.was; since; have happened D.has been; since; took place
【答案】D
【解析】

A.expensive , another one B.high, another one
C.expensive, another pair D.high , another pair
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：这双鞋的价格太高了。你能给我看另一双吗？考查形容词辨析。表示某物的价格贵，可以说the price of sth is high 或者sth is expensive；句子的主语是the price of the shoes，所以排除A、C；one用来指代上文提到的同类单数可数名词，shoes是复数名词，要用ones，所以，排除B；another pair意为“另一双”；故选D。
4.—This is the doctor’s advice. Please_______ carefully. You have to stay in bed and have one week _______.
—OK. I will follow the doctor’s advice.
A.look them through; away B.look it through; off
C.look through them; off D.look through it; away
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：——这是医生的建议。 请仔细浏览。 你得卧床休息一周假。——好的。 我会听从医生的建议。
look through浏览，温习，看穿；away离开，远离；off分析句意，第一个空表示的是仔细浏览用look through，这类动词+介词的短语，加代词，代词位于中间。所以排除CD。advice是不可数名词，所以排除A。分析句意，第二个空表示请一周的假，请假用have…off。故选B。
5.It says that there will be rain this coming summer.
A.a great many B.a number of C.a great deal D.a great deal of
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：据说今年夏天会有很多雨。考查形容词短语辨析。a great many 很多的/非常多的，修饰可数名词；a number of许多，后接复数名词，谓语通常用复数；a great deal大量，多用做副词或名词，后面如果要跟名词，必须加介词of，即a great deal of，修饰的是不可数名词。本题rain是不可数名词，故选D。
6.At first, the girl was refused. __________ hard work, she succeeded in __________ the chance.
A.Through; get B.Through; getting C.Although; get D.Although; getting
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：起先这个女孩被拒绝了。通过努力工作，她成功地得到了这个机会。考查介词的用法。Through介词，通过，后接名词或动名词；Although连词，虽然，尽管，后接让步状语从句，根据题干中“hard work”努力工作，是名词，所以第一空填Through；根据短语搭配“succeed in doing sth.”成功做某事，故第二空填getting。故选B。

一、阅读理解
A
7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(专家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.

More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being the king of the jungle. He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tipped(绊倒) over Lion's paw(爪子). Lion woke up with a start. "How dare you wake me up!" he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. "On second thought, I'm in the mood for the snack, and you'll become a delicious meal." he said.
Mouse cried out, "King Lion. please spare(饶恕) me! If you let me live, I'll always remember your kindness. And some day might be able to help you." "How could such a powerless little mouse help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later. Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned. he couldn't escape.
When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咬) on the ropes to make a big hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. "Thank you for saving my life," said Lion, smiling his widest smile. "I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!"

【答案】A
【解析】
句意：你能告诉我你的想法是什么吗？考查宾语从句的用法。此题是考查宾语从句，宾语从句的语序是陈述语序，所以排除B、C；D答案中不必要用借此in，故选A。
2. ---Harry Potter studies hard at math _______.
---Yes. He makes up his ______ to improve his math.
A.recent, mind B.recent, thought C.recently, mind D.recently, thought
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：——最近哈利·波特努力学习数学。——是的。他下决心提高他的数学。recent最近的，是形容词；recently最近地，是副词；mind思维，thought想法。第一空修饰整个句子，故用副词recently。第二空根据短语make up one’s mind to do sth“下决心做某事”，故用名词mind。故选C。
【拓展】mind 固定搭配
on one’s mind 挂在心上，惦念 change one’s mind 改变主意
make up one’s mind 做出决定 keep ...in mind 将.....记在心上
in one’s mind 在某人脑海里 out of one’s mind 忘了

【典例讲解】
_________ can help us learn _________ about the world.
A.Reading; a lot of B.Read; lots of C.Read; a lot D.Reading; a lot
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：阅读可以帮助我们了解更多的世界。考查动名词作主语和词汇辨析。句子中已有谓语动词“can help”，只需要一个非谓语动词，所以排除BC选项。a lot of=lots of表示“许多”，两者都修饰名词，a lot很，非常，副词；由learn可知，空处需用副词修饰动词；learn a lot意为“了解很多”，故选D。
知识点03 What’s up? 教材P48
【用法详解】
What’s up? = What’s wrong? = What’s the matter? = What happened? 怎么了？
What’s up? Why are you crying?

I could go on for another two hours. 我再讲两个小时都讲不完。
I need another few days before l can make up my mind. 我还需几天才能决定。
【典例讲解】

A.is； another one B.are； another pair C.is； another pair D.are； another one

句意：这副双筒望远镜旧了。请给我买另一副，妈妈。考查主谓一致。is/are系动词，is 表示单数；are表示复数；another one 另一个，one作代词，代指前面提到的名词；another pair 另一副，没有指定那一副；another pair of+复数名词，作主语时，中心词是pair而不是后面的名词，所以be动词用is；根据“This pair of binoculars…old. Please buy me…”及结合选项可知，这副双筒望远镜旧了，请给我买另一副，没有指定买那一副。故选C。
【拓展】
1.习语one after another意为“一个接一个地”“相继地”“依次地”，在句中主要用作状语。

【拓展】deal v. 处理，应付
deal with 对付，应付，处理
能力拓展
1.—Would you mind waiting outside for a moment?
—________.
A.Never mind B.Of course C.Certainly not D.You are welcome
【答案】C
【解析】
句意：——你介意在外面等一会儿吗？——当然不。考查情景交际。Never mind没关系，用于回答道歉；Of course当然，用于表示显然、周所周知的事情；Certainly not当然不；You are welcome不客气，用于回答道谢。问句“Would you mind…”表示询问对方是否介意……，则应以“介意”或“不介意”作为答语，故“当然不”符合语境。故选C。
2.It _________ten years______ many changes _________ in the town.
A.is; since; have taken place B.is; after; happened
C.was; since; have happened D.has been; since; took place
【答案】D
【解析】

3.The price of the shoes is too ______. Could you please show me ________?
A.expensive , another one B.high, another one
C.expensive, another pair D.high , another pair
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：这双鞋的价格太高了。你能给我看另一双吗？考查形容词辨析。表示某物的价格贵，可以说the price of sth is high 或者sth is expensive；句子的主语是the price of the shoes，所以排除A、C；one用来指代上文提到的同类单数可数名词，shoes是复数名词，要用ones，所以，排除B；another pair意为“另一双”；故选D。
4.—This is the doctor’s advice. Please_______ carefully. You have to stay in bed and have one week _______.
—OK. I will follow the doctor’s advice.
A.look them through; away B.look it through; off
C.look through them; off D.look through it; away
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：——这是医生的建议。 请仔细浏览。 你得卧床休息一周假。——好的。 我会听从医生的建议。
look through浏览，温习，看穿；away离开，远离；off分析句意，第一个空表示的是仔细浏览用look through，这类动词+介词的短语，加代词，代词位于中间。所以排除CD。advice是不可数名词，所以排除A。分析句意，第二个空表示请一周的假，请假用have…off。故选B。
5.It says that there will be rain this coming summer.
A.a great many B.a number of C.a great deal D.a great deal of
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：据说今年夏天会有很多雨。考查形容词短语辨析。a great many 很多的/非常多的，修饰可数名词；a number of许多，后接复数名词，谓语通常用复数；a great deal大量，多用做副词或名词，后面如果要跟名词，必须加介词of，即a great deal of，修饰的是不可数名词。本题rain是不可数名词，故选D。
6.At first, the girl was refused. __________ hard work, she succeeded in __________ the chance.
A.Through; get B.Through; getting C.Although; get D.Although; getting
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：起先这个女孩被拒绝了。通过努力工作，她成功地得到了这个机会。考查介词的用法。Through介词，通过，后接名词或动名词；Although连词，虽然，尽管，后接让步状语从句，根据题干中“hard work”努力工作，是名词，所以第一空填Through；根据短语搭配“succeed in doing sth.”成功做某事，故第二空填getting。故选B。

A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(专家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.
