参考答案

　　Part Ⅰ

Activity 1　In every example sentence,the present continuous tense is used to talk about future plans.

Activity 2

1.The verbs all use the present continuous tense to express some arrangements for events in the nearest future.

2.We can also use “will do” “be going to do” to express our future plans.

Activity 3

Activity 4

The two sentences cannot be rewritten.Because in the first sentence,“might visit” is not expressing the future event but expressing a kind of possibility;while in the second sentence,“be going to” is expressing a kind of tendency,but not a thing that is sure to happen.

Part Ⅱ

Activity 1

1.    is taking off　2.is not visiting; is attending　3.am not packing　4.are spending 　5.is arriving   6.are you staying

Activity 2

B:Uh,no.I’m hiking up to the mountain with my family to have dinner at a restaurant overlooking the city.Since the weather is going to be clear,we were hoping to get a really good view of the city lights.But I’m free tomorrow.We can get together then.

A:I’m not so sure about that.

B:What do you mean?What are you doing tomorrow morning?

A:Since the wind is going to be strong,I’m going sailing with my uncle.

Part Ⅲ

Activity 1

Hush,little baby,don’t say a word,

Papa’s buying you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird won’t sing,

Papa’s buying you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass,

Papa’s buying you a looking-glass.

If that looking-glass gets broke,

Papa’s buying you a billy-goat.

If that billy-goat runs away,

Papa’s buying you another today.

I think the original one is better,because the poem describes a scene where the father is singing his baby to sleep.Therefore,the many future things referred to in the poem will not really happen.
