【重点难点讲解】

1． Many young people end up in a job to which they are not suited.

许多年轻人最后还是干了一件不适合他们的工作。

（1）end up 最后（做某事），终于（成为……）这个短语通常含有“最终结局不好”的意思。例：

He ended up (as ) the officer of that company. 他最终成为那家公司的职员。

The enemy ended up in defeat.敌人最终失败了。

（2）be suited to + n. (-ing 形式) 适合，适宜于。

His speech is suited to audience.他演讲的内容合符合听众的口味。

He is suited to (for) teaching.他适合教书。

2． First, it is important to recognize what kind of person you are and which special qualities make you different from everyone else.

首先，重要的是你得认识自己是什么样的人，你具备怎样的特殊品质，使你不同于其他任何人。

（1）what kind of 是对表示性质、特征的人或事 提问的句式。

- What kind of person are you?

- I’m clever one (不能回答I’m clever.).

- What are you like?

- I’m clever. (不能回答I’m a clever person.)

what kind of 结构中其名词通常不用冠词，也不用复数。

（2）else做为代词，只能用作后置定语，常用来修饰不定代词、疑问代词或疑问副词。

Who else asked for me this morning?　　今天上午还有谁找过我？

Nobody else in our class is cleverer than he.　　在我们班上没有其他人比他聪明。

Where else have you ever been to ?　　你还去过什么地方？

3． Think of time when you were happiest. What were you doing?

想一想你过去什么时候最快活。当时你在干什么？

该句中做表语的happiest前面没有冠词the 。

通常形容词最高级前要加定冠词。但当最高级是主语自身比较（而没有与其他的人或物相比较），最高级前通常不用冠词。例：

I’m busiest in the morning.　我早上最忙。

The stars are brightest when there is no moon.　当没有月光时星星最亮。

4． Note that it is not enough to say to yourself, “I enjoy working with people.”

注意：如果你回答“我喜欢同工人们一起工作”，这是不够的。

Note 在此是动词，意思是“注意，注目，留意到”。

Note that…作为句型是“注意……”。

Please note that the book must be returned within a week.　请注意这本书必须在一周内归还。

Note how he swims. 注意看他如何游泳。

5． It sounds as though you have plenty of both of these already.

……从来信看这两方面（兴趣和能力）你似乎都已具备了。

It sounds as though /if…“听起来似乎……”。

as though引导的是表语从句。常用于类似结构的还有：seem/look/feel+as if (though)。

注意：appear通常不能接as if 从句。

It seems as if he has passed the test. 他看起来好象通过了这次测试。

He feels as if he is tired.他觉得好象累了。

6． You can point out that Florence Nightingale opened up nursing and that Madame Curie opened up science to women.

你可以指出，弗洛伦斯.南丁格尔开创了护理工作，居里夫人为妇女学理科开辟了道路。

（1）该句point out 之后接了两个宾语从句，由and连接，要特别指出第二个that 绝不能省掉，省掉后逻辑关系不清。

（2）open up 意思是“开辟”，“开拓”，如：

This new means has opened up the forbidden zone of this field.　这新方法打开了这个领域的禁区。

A few peasants decided to open up the wasteland. 几个农民决定开发这块荒地。

三、阅读理解：

Before Johann Guttenburg developed the printing press in 1437, news traveled by word of mouth. This meant that information was slow to reach the public and that details changed as news spread from one person to the next. Printed matter, such as newspapers, made it possible for information to be gathered in a central office and for news to be written more accurately(准确). In 1844 Samuel Morse made a system of sending coded messages through electric wires perfect, founding an early form of long-distance communication. The work of communications was developed in 1858 through the work of Julius von Reuter, who made newspapers reach different countries by telegraphing. With each of these developments, the public wondered at the cleverness of the communications pioneers and asked, “What will they think of next?”

“They” thought of plenty. Alexander Graham Bell had the idea of passing speech by electrical impulses and invented the first telephone in 1876. The invention of the “wireless” by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 made the way for modern-day radio transmission. ykin worked on one of the first televisions in 1928.

Communications reached new heights when televisions were mass produced in the 1950s. In 1962 the first communication satellite, made people see live broadcast from anywhere in the world. Underground and underwater cables also send on programs from one area to another. Telecommunications and computer networking are of big advances of our times and mean even greater developments to come.

【解析】

单项填空

or自己侃侃而谈，从不关心别人说什么，要表示别人就一定要加else，因为anybody是包括她自己在内的；别人并不是指某一特定的人，所以someone else也不对。

3.否定句加until，表示“直到…才”。

h on a nail的意思是“被钉子挂住了”。

7.本句句意是“无论他到哪儿…”，只有wherever可以表达这个意思。

8.本句有两个分句，两句之间需要连词连接，A、C是介词词组，不能连接句子；every time后面不用加when；the first time在此相当于连词。

10.后面的句子是倒装句，选项中只有nor能引导倒装句。

15.用连接主语，谓语动词要与最近的主语－－－assistants一致。

完型填空

3.狗经过训练可以用来找人，trained过去分词作形容词用，来修饰dogs。

4.当我们要掩盖气味时，只有撒一些东西－－spread；而不是“扔”或“放”。

8.此句是倒装句，A、D不能引导倒装句，它们的意义也不对；B、C可以引导倒装句，但C的意义正好相反，只有B的意义合适。

15.I have是定语从句，修饰这个名词，他当然一直盼望见到The Zeigers，longing在此是“盼望”的意思。

17.人们只能站在街道两边---line；surround表示四面八方地“包围”，与情况不符。

20.句中 fully是关键词， The Zeigers可以充分感谢、充分尊敬、充分表扬他，但却不可能充分“报答”他，所以选C
