【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据选项的建造历史可知，具有最长历史的是The Tower of London，从14世纪开始，“帝国皇冠”就放在这里了。第二个是建于1703年的前白金汉宫。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Since the beginning of the 14th century, the tower of London has been the home of the world famous British Crown Jewels- they are a must of your visit!”可知，自14世纪初以来，伦敦塔一直是世界著名的英国皇冠珠宝的存放之地---它们是你参观的必到之处！故选B。

B
Some scientists believe that one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in fact the octopus (章鱼).
Octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and seas-areas which are not attractive to researchers. They are not social animals so it can be hard to study their interaction with others. And the octopus’ intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. When we observe some animals such as rats or dogs, we can often understand their behavior. Octopuses，however can seem like aliens (外星人). Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to understand what an octopus is thinking!
In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their brains. They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers. However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no significance to continue with it. Octopuses have a very complex nervous system and recent research suggests that they have some of their intelligence inside each arm, which means that each arm can “think” for itself. It also appears that they have a good memory, perhaps similar to a cat’s.
Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their color and body pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves to avoid their enemies and also to communicate with others. They can completely change their appearance in less than a second. It can change its skin to look like rocks, sand or planktron (浮游生物).
Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colors are in fact a very hard language-and that each design is a different verb，adjective or noun. But nobody has been able to work out what they might be saying. There’s a long way to go to get to know the octopus completely.
4. What can we infer about the octopus’ intelligence from Paragraph 2?
A. It does not attract scientists. B. Little has been known about it.
C. It is equal to the cat’s or dog’s. D. Much has been done about it.
5. What can we say about scientists’ study on the octopus in the 1950s?
A. They had to give it up eventually. B. They used computers to help.
C. They found its arms could think. D. They judged it lived like a cat.
6. What does the underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Relax. B. Strengthen. C. Hide. D. Express.
7. What does the author think of the octopuses?
A. They are the smartest animals. B. They’re easy to be seen in the sea.
C. It is useful to copy their language. D. It is difficult to understand them.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一些科学家认为，地球上最聪明的生物之一就是章鱼。到目前为止，人们对章鱼也是知之甚少。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。第二段谈到：章鱼通常生活在河口和海洋的底部，这些地方对研究人员没有吸引力。它们不是群居动物，因此很难研究它们与其它动物的相互作用。而且章鱼的智力也不容易被人类理解。章鱼看起来像外星人。科学家需要有丰富的想象力才能理解章鱼在想什么！由这些可推知，人们对章鱼的理解很少。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no significance to continue with it.”信息可知，科学家发现章鱼的大脑是如此复杂，他们觉得继续研究下去是没有用的。由此可知他们最终放弃了研究。故选A。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。本句前面谈到：章鱼最惊人的地方在于它们改变颜色和身体形态的能力；由本句后面的“to avoid their enemies（以逃避敌人）”可知，它们这样做是为了伪装自己以躲避敌人。A. Relax放松，休息；B. Strengthen加强，增强；C. Hide隐蔽，躲避；D. Express表达。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段作者谈到 “There’s a long way to go to get to know the octopus completely.（完全了解章鱼还有很长的路要走）”，可知作者认为要了解章鱼不容易。故选D。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本题中的第三题考查的就是生词词义猜测，由划线单词后表达的目的“to avoid their enemies（以躲避敌人）”可知，章鱼是要保护它们自己。划线单词意思与avoid是相呼应的。据此即可选出正确答案。
C
In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor bedrooms.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”
A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.
8. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual?
A. They’re living on the rarest giraffes. B. They share their home with giraffes.
C. They’re good at making giraffes’ food. D. They train giraffes to manage the hotel.
9. What can we know about Mikey’s family?
A. It has had a long connection with giraffes. B. It used to raise giraffes around the manor.
C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D. It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.
10. Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project?
A. Visitor-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Costly. D. Fruitful.
11. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Giraffes’ breakfast by guests B. Reasons for giraffe protection
C. The world’s only giraffe hotel D. History of the giraffe manor
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。位于肯尼亚内罗毕附近的长颈鹿庄园是世界上唯一一家以长颈鹿为主题的酒店，庄园的主人卡尔哈特雷夫妇以与9只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿同住而闻名。这种世界上最高的动物自由徜徉在庄园里，每天快到9时的时候，这些长颈鹿就会漫步房前，穿过窗户或者门把脑袋探进房间寻找美味早餐。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。第一段中提到“Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them.（九只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿，可以在这个英式庄园里自由漫步。每天上午快到9点的时候，它们就会来到这所房子里，把头伸进窗户和门里寻找早餐。庄园的主人Tanya和Mikey Carr-Hartley与他们共用一张餐桌）”，由这些信息可知，卡尔哈特雷一家之所以特别是因为他们与长颈鹿共享他们的生活。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段提及的“Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space.（米基家族几代人都与保护动物有关。他的祖父早在20世纪30年代就帮助长颈鹿迁徙，因为罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿的自然生存空间消失殆尽。）”信息，可知米基一家与长颈鹿有很深的历史渊源。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild（以前的主人进行了一个非常成功的繁殖项目，许多长颈鹿被放生到野外。）”可知，他们的保护计划成果明显。A. Visitor-friendly对游客很友好；B. Energy-saving节省能源的；C. Costly昂贵的；D. Fruitful成果丰硕的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文开篇谈到：卡尔哈特雷夫妇通过向世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店的客人开放庄园大门来与公众分享与长颈鹿亲密接触的奇妙经历。客人可以在早餐时喂长颈鹿，也可以从二楼的卧室靠近它们。第二段还谈到：长颈鹿离我们这么近是一件很特别的事，现在人们住在酒店的10个房间的任何一间就能体验到这种感觉。由此可知，C项（世界上惟一的长颈鹿酒店）最能体现本文的主题思想。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式，标题题（best title）是其一个典型的考点，也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题：一是看首尾段，根据首尾段内容总结主题思想；二是看每段段首句，根据所有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题，就是标题类的主旨大意题。文章总共三段，第一段描述庄园内的现状，第二段描述庄园主人与庄园的渊源，第三段描述庄园内曾做过的繁殖长颈鹿的项目，所以本文都是围绕庄园展开的，由第一段可知，庄园也是世界上唯一的长颈鹿旅馆。故选C。
D
Britain’s first zero-carbon homes are being built—and they look like something from a science-fiction movie.
There are 25 eco-friendly homes currently being built in Southmoor, near Abingdon, Oxon. Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification. These eco-friendly houses are powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses. They also have advanced ventilation (通风) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the building don’t go beyond 25℃ for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to generate (产生) the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding east-or west-facing windows, and window shading.
And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游说)by house builders,” Ian explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UK’s housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply and demand’ don’t apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want.”
In any sensible society we would expect the planning system to actively encourage zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes, and parking places. These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic consequences of climate change.
12. What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?
A. Negotiate its price. B. Choose where to build it.
C. Decide how the inside of it looks. D. Design its ventilation.
13. How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?
A. Welcome. B. Uncaring.
C. Skeptical. D. Demanding.
14. What do house-building companies intend to do?
A. Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.
B. Purchase more land to stop climate change.
C. Build more houses powered by the sun.
D. Make it more difficult to buy houses.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to the Government’s planning system?
A. Satisfied. B. Disapproving.
C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了英国首个零碳家园的建设。涉及了零碳家园的基本特点、供求情况以及政府对此的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification.（买家可以对楼层布局、厨房和浴室拥有最终决定权。市场上有一套三居室的房子，售价为80.1万英镑，可以根据自己的需求定制。）” 可知买家可以决定这种房屋的内部布局。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing.（这种房子需求量很大。Ssassy房产公司的伊恩·普里切特（Ian Pritchett）认为，政府应该为促进这类住房的建设做出更多努力。）”可知，人们很欢迎这类房子。故选A。
14题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“At present, the main house-building corporations control the land…buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want. （目前，主要的房屋建筑公司控制着土地，只按他们确信会出售的速度建造房屋，这使得英国的住房短缺，使房屋“供应和需求”难以达到的正常要求。当房屋短缺时，购房者不得不购买现在所有的，而不能买他们想要的。）”可知，房屋建造公司想让购房更为困难。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段作者谈到：在任何一个理性的社会，我们都希望房屋规划系统积极鼓励零碳排放的住房，并对任何未能达到必要标准的人采取严厉措施。相反，我们的房屋规划局却专注于其他方面的规划，比如卧室数量、花园面积和停车位。这些都是重要的方面，但与气候变化的灾难性后果相比，它们就显得微不足道了。由此可知，作者对政府的房屋规划持不同的意见。A. Satisfied满意的；B. Disapproving 不赞同的；C. Worried担心的，担忧的；D. Ambiguous模棱两可的。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Bad communication, either written, oral, or body language, can send the wrong message in more ways than one. Here are some tips that will improve your communication skills.
____16____ Stand up straight, and it will show confidence. Smile, and you will seem approachable. Don’t cross your arms over your chest, because this tells people you disapprove. Keep your hands to your side, or if you are sitting, keep them in your lap.
Have confidence when you speak. If you are shy and quiet，project your voice. ____17____ Never turn your head away from someone when you are speaking to them, because it may show them you don’t care enough to give them your full attention, and it will make it harder for the other person to hear what you are saying.
____18____ If you always say “I’ve no idea of it”, it will make others feel like you don’t care enough to give a response, or that you aren’t knowledgeable enough to answer. When people ask questions, they want answers. ____19____ Say something like “I’m in the middle of something, can I get back to you?” or “I don’t want to ill advise you, let me find out for you.”
In written communication, always he clear. Before you send an e-mail, or any type of written communication, read over it at least once, to be sure it makes sense. ____20____ Written forms of communication can be tricky, because there is no way to put your tone of voice in, so if you feel like you are writing a message on a touchy subject that could he misunderstood, it’s probably best to have a face to face conversation.
A. Have good body language.
B. Listen to the person attentively.
C. Never answer with “I don’t know”.
D. Don’t give the person you are speaking to a quick response.
E Always look the person in the eye when you are speaking to them.
F. If you aren’t sure it’s clear, have someone else read it before you send it.
G. If someone puts you on the spot, you don’t have to answer them right away.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了人与人之间如何提高沟通的技巧。
16题详解】
本段主要谈到：站直了，就会显得自信。微笑，你会显得平易近人。不要把双臂交叉在胸前，因为这会告诉别人你不赞同。把手放在身体两侧，或者如果你坐着，把手放在膝盖上。由此可知，本段在谈我们在与他人交流时的肢体语言。故选A。
【17题详解】
本题属于段中句。本段的段首句谈到：说话时要有自信。E选项与段首句中的“… when you speak”信息有联系，表示：当你和别人说话的时候，一定要看着对方的眼睛。显示有自信心。本空后文有“when you are speaking to them”，也暗示了本题的答案。本题容易误选B。如果不联系上下文，单从本空来看，选B似乎讲得通，但与上下文不能形成 逻辑关系。故选E。
【18题详解】
本段谈到：如果你总是说“I’ve no idea of it”，这会让别人觉得你对他们的问题不足够关心，或者你没有足够的知识去回答。当人们问问题时，他们想要答案。由此可知本段主题句应选C，表示“永远不要回答‘我不知道’”。
【19题详解】
本题属于段中句。本空后文谈到：你可以这样说：“我正在处理一件事，过会儿给你说，好吗？”或者“我不想给你出个拙劣的主意，容我来帮你找找答案。”有这个信息可知，本空选G，表示：如果你被当场问住了，你不必马上回答。
【20题详解】
本空属于段中句。本段主题句谈到：在书面交流中，信息一定要清晰。本空前面谈到：在你发送电子邮件或任何形式的书面交流之前，至少读一遍，以确保信息是清晰的。由此本空选F，表示：如果你不确定信息是否清楚，在你发送之前让别人读一下。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知：是总分总的形式。本题中的第一题和第三题就是利用段首句与段落内容的一致性解题。当空格位于段中时，就要首先考虑上下句单词呼应。例如第二题turn your head与选项E中的Always look the person in the eye呼应，第四题中的say something like与选项C中的answer呼应，第五题中的Written forms of communication can be tricky 与选项F中的have someone else read it呼应。所以拿到一篇文章，同学们首先要根据篇章类型与空格位置推断使用什么方法解题，有助于加快解题速度。
第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

这是一篇记叙文。一对81岁的老夫妇几年前救了一只牧羊犬莎娜，没想到几年后的一个暴风雪之夜，这对老夫妇被困在了离家数十米的一片“绝地”中，他们身边堆满被暴风雪刮倒的树木和厚厚积雪。眼见两人就要被活活冻死时，这只牧羊犬在雪堆中挖出了一条数米长的“隧道”，然后拖着两名老主人穿过“雪洞”，成功将两人救回家中！

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

【答案】41. especially

46. to make
47. traditional
48. Europeans
49. that/which

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了中国人如何发明烟花和爆竹，然后传到欧洲，由欧洲人带到美洲。美国第一次在1777年7月4日庆祝独立日时，使用了烟花和爆竹，从此每年的独立日庆祝活动，放烟花是固定传统习俗。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：烟花似乎是一个非常美国式的传统，尤其是在7月4日这天。空格单独位于介词前，所以应填副词，修饰介词短语“on the 4th of July”。“especial（特别的）”的副词形式为especially，故填especially。
【42题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：最早的烟花可以追溯到大约 2000年前的中国。根据句意，这里应使用形容词early的最高级形式earliest。故填earliest。
【43题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：据说那时人们会烤竹竿，竹竿变黑了，发出响声。根据句意和后面的不定式结构“to lave roasted bamboo stalks”，可联想到be said to have done结构，因为是2000多年前发生的事，故用一般过去时。People为复数意义，故填were said。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：“爆竹(Baozhu)”是“firecracker”的中文叫法。For表示对象、用途，翻译为“给，对”，因此用for连接后面的firecracker。故填for。
【45题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：这发生在公元前600年到公元前900年之间的一段时间内。本句谈到是公元600年到900年之间发生的事情，故用一般过去时。注意happen 不能用于被动语态中。故填happened。
【46题详解】
考查不定式做目的状语。句意：钢铁粉或铁屑被加进去，使它们闪闪发光。这里表目的，所以应用不定式结构。故填to make。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在中国，这些鞭炮经常用于传统的庆祝活动中。本空后面接名词celebrations，因此这里应用形容词修饰名词。故填traditional。
【48题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在接下来的几个世纪里，欧洲人开始移居北美。根据句意，这里填Europeans（欧洲人），且欧洲人不止一个，应用复数形式。故填Europeans。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意：这就不奇怪了，当美国7月4日开始庆祝美国独立日的时候，被中国人发明的烟花见证了这一伟大时刻。分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，“were invented by Chinese people”是从句，缺少主语，故填that或which，修饰先行词fireworks，同时在句中作主语。故填that/which。
【50题详解】
考查定冠词。句意同上。根据句意，这里特指那个重要时刻，所以填定冠词the。故填the。

This summer holiday, I go to a seaside city with my family. We got there by air. It is a very beautiful and modern city, where impressed us a lot. On the first day, we took a bus to a place calling the Sea Park. There were such many different kinds of fishes that I couldn’t believe in my eyes. On the second day, we went swimming, and we all enjoyed ourselves. During the next two days, we went to some tourist spot, shopping and taking photos. Several days late, we left the city. Although we were tiring on our way home, we felt happily about the holiday. What unforgettable experience!

9. 第九句：happily→happy
10. 第十句：unforgettable前加an
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和家人暑假去一个海滨城市度假的故事。
【详解】1. 考查一般过去时。句意：这个暑假，我和我的家人去了一个海滨城市度假。全文用的都是一般过去时，所以这句话也应使用一般过去时。故将go改为went。
2. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：这是一个非常美丽又现代的城市，给我们留下了深刻的印象。这是一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，且先行词应该为前边整句话，所以关系词应用which。故将where改为which。
3. 考查过去分词作定语。句意：第一天，我们乘公共汽车去了一个叫海洋公园的地方。
根据句意，这里的a place被叫作“Sea Park”，因此应该使用过去分词作作定语。故将calling改为called。
4. 考查副词。句意：这儿有如此多不同种类的鱼以至于我不能相信自己的眼睛。在so…that和such…that句型中，名词前有many, much, few, little修饰时只能用 sothat，不能用 such that。故将such改为so。
5. 考查实义动词。句意同上。believe in sb.表示“相信某人的品行或能力”。believe sb.表示“相信某人说的话”。can’t believe one’s eyes / ears 相当于 can’t believe what one sees / hears，表示“不相信自己所看到的或所听到的”。故将believe后的in去掉。
6. 考查名词的数。句意：接下来的两天内，我们去了一些旅游景点，购物，拍照片。spot是可数名词，其前面有some修饰，故应用spot的复数形式。故将spot改为spots。
7. 考查副词。句意：几天后，我们离开了那座城市。late表示“迟的；晚的”；later常与一个表示具体时间的名词连用，指从过去或将来某一时间算起的“……后”“过了……”。根据句意，故将late改为later。
8. 考查形容词。句意：尽管回家的路上，我们很累，但是我们为这次旅游感到很开心。 tiring令人感到疲倦；tired某人感到疲倦。表示“在回家的路上，我们很累。”，故将tiring改为tired。
9. 考查形容词作表语。句意同上。本句中的feel是系动词，表示“感到”，其后应用形容词，形成系表结构。故将happily改为happy。
10. 考查不定冠词。句意：多么难忘的经历。分析句子结构可知，这是一个感叹句。experience是作“经历”讲时，是可数名词， 所以这里应加上定冠词，unforgettable是元音音素开头，故要用an。故在unforgettable前加an。

这是一篇提纲作文。题干中给出了文章的写作要点，但要点给出的很简单，例如在写作时，同学们需要对第二点和第三点根据自己的常识适当发挥。
【详解】第一步：审题：确定时态和人称。这封信主要是李华邀请Mary观看有关七夕节的电影，并向她说明提前需要准备的工作。所以时态应以一般现在时为主，人称以第二人称为主。
第二步：列提纲 （重点词组）
a film about…（关于……的电影）；the third floor of the school library（图书馆的第三层）； be interested in…（对……感兴趣）；the old legend of Qixi Festival of China（关于中国七夕节的古老传说）；the knowledge of…（……的知识）；ahead of time（提前）；have a good time（过得开心等。
第三步：遣词造句：同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译，可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯，同时要点表述要完整，文章要通顺，准确使用时态和语态。
第四步：连句成文：写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语，使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型，如定语从句等，以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式，如：第二段第一句使用了there be句型；第二段第三句和第四句使用了省略了that的宾语从句；第二段第六句使用了in order to做目的状语以及which引导的定语从句。此外本文还使用了一些高级词汇，如a film about…；the third floor of the school library； be interested in…；the old legend of Qixi Festival of China；the knowledge of…；ahead of time；have a good time等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
