(五)重点语法：
情态动词should的用法
should是情态动词，它的基本用法是必须和其他动词一起构成谓语。情态动词没有人称和数的变化，意为"应该......"。
should(应当，应该)用于所有人称，表示劝告或建议。
eg. You should wait a little more.
你应该再多等一会儿。
--- I have a very bad cold.我感冒很厉害。
--- You should lie down and have a rest.你应该躺下，多喝水。
在这个单元中我们还学到用"could"表示建议，这时could不是can的过去式，而表示比should更加委婉的建议。
--- I need some money to pay for the summer camp.
---- You should/ could borrow some money from your brother.
(六)知识点讲解：
1. I don't have enough money.
我没有足够的钱。
enough：adj.充足的、充分的，在句子中可作定语修饰名词，也可作表语。
eg. Do you have enough time?
Six pieces of paper will be enough.
2. I argued with my best friend.我与我的朋友吵架了。
argue with sb.意为"与......争吵，争论"
eg. He often argue with his classmates.
3. My clothes are out of style.
我的衣服过时了。
be out of style / fashion表示"过时""不合乎时尚"
反义词是"be in fashion"表示"合乎时尚"
eg. He is always in fashion.
The sofa is out of style, and I don't like it.
4. Maybe you should call him up.
(1)maybe是副词，用来表示推测，译为"也许，或许，大概"。
eg. Maybe you are right.
Maybe they will go out for a walk.
maybe不同于may be。maybe是一个词，是副词，may be是情态动词may加上动词原形be，意为"或许"，后接形容词、名词、代词等。
eg. It may be true.
He may be the man we are looking for.
(2)call sb up .打电话给某人
eg. I called up Zhang Hong at eight o'clock.
原句中him为代词，所以放在call和up之间，不能说成call up him。
eg. I'll call her up this afternoon.
Could you ask him to call me, please.在这个句子中，省略up。
5. I don't want to surprise him.
我不想使他惊讶。
在这句话中surprise是个行为动词，可以说成"surprise sb."，表示"使......惊讶"。
eg. The news surprises us greatly.
surprised adj.惊讶的
surprising adj.令人惊讶的
eg. I'm surprised to hear the news.
It's a surprising gift, and I love it.
6. No, he doesn't have any money, either.
不，他也没有钱。
either的用法：用作副词，用在否定句或否定词组后加强语气，表示"也"，"而且"。
eg. He doesn't like singing, and he doesn't like dancing, either.
either用作代词时，常表示"两者之中任何一个"，常与短语连用或用作宾语。
eg. Either of them will agree with you.
I don't like either of the books.
7. I need to get some money to pay for summer camp.
我需要一些钱支付夏令营。
(1)need是个情态动词，也可以是行为动词。
当它是情态动词时，后边直接加行为动词，表示"需要"，但need作情态动词时一般不用于肯定句。它一般用于否定句和疑问句中，例如：
①You need not meet him.你不必见他。
②Need I repeat it?我有必要重复它吗?
对上一句的简略回答为：Yes, you need. No, you needn't.
此外情态动词must提问时，否定回答时为No, ... needn't。
例如：Must he finish the homework now?
Yes, he must. No, he needn't.
当need作行为动词时，同其他行为动词一样对待，need后加不定式为"need to do"。
例如：I need to finish the work.
变为疑问句时，不能像它作情态动词时直接提前，而要加助动词do/ does/ did等，例如：
He needs to write many words.
改成一般问句：Does he need to write many words?
他需要写许多字吗?
Yes, he does. No, he doesn't.
(2)(sb.)pay(money)for sth.为......而付款
(sb.)spend(money)on sth在......上花多少钱
(sth.)cost sb.(money)什么东西值多少钱
这三个短语都是表示付款。但pay, spend指的是"人"，主语为人，而cost指的是"物"，主语为"物"。
例如说他昨天花10元买了一本书。用以上三个短语分别为：
①He paid 10 yuan for the book yesterday.
②He spent 10 yuan on the book yesterday.
③The book cost him 10 yuan yesterday.
注意以上三个动词的动词过去式为：
pay---paid spend ---- spent cost----cost
以上三个例句的翻译为：
( A ) ( B ) ( C ) ( D ) ( E )
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night. Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class.( ) 1. The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________A. he didn’t have enough sleep B. it wasn’t time for him to get upC. he didn’t want to go to school D. he wanted his mother to wake him up( ) 2.

According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________ A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.B. Sleeping less means working hard.C.

Ⅳ．Writing. 书面表达。(共10分)．One possible version: Dear Gao Yang, I think it is too early to say whether or not your friendship is over. I don’t know what you said to your friend, but if he does not want to talk to you, I think you must have upset him a great deal. You need to give him more time to forgive you. People often say things they don’t mean but a few words in anger do not last for ever. At least you have tried to say you are sorry. Even though he doesn’t want to talk yet, your friend knows that you want to make up. And if he is a true friend, he will realize that friendship is more important than being angry. Of course, maybe he doesn’t want to talk to you again. This means he doesn’t value your friendship very highly. If so, have you lost anything worth worrying about?

He went to the Evergreen School to do a survey last Friday.Mr Black asked the students to discuss with each other and then fill in the form with a pen. He told them to tell the truth.

Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the badness of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.53. Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A. she was receiving treatment for cancerB. most of her hair had fallen outC. she felt depressed and quit from schoolD. she was suffering from a pain in her back54. What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A. It aims to replace the medical treatment.B. It is supported by singers and patients.C. It helps young patients record songs.D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.55. What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?A. Most children are naturally fond of music.B. He was brave enough to put up performance.C. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.D. The project has positive effect on young patients.56. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Singing Can Improve Health B. Purple Songs Can FlyC. A Shining Moment in Life D. A Kind Woman—Anita KruseD.“Mind your own business.” we’re told．“Don’t talk about others behind their backs．”The problem with this advice is that，not only is it unrealistic，it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的)．Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚语)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships．But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip．Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior．“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly，his gossip is letting you in on something，”says Dr．Ralph Rosnow of Temple University．“Gossip says：these are the boundaries and you are crossing them．You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line．” Seen this way，gossip is a way to communicate criticism without conflict(冲突)，giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face．On the other hand，what about ill-willed gossip，the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and，in nearly every country in the world，gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers．According to researchers，however，this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正确地)．“If we read bad news about well-known people，or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee，our own problems begin to pale in comparison，”says Dr．Jack Levin of Northeastern University．However, that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing，either．Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress．This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people，they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them．57．What is the purpose of the text?A．To encourage us to spread gossip about others．B．To prevent us from spreading gossip about others.C．To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip．D．To recognize certain positive functions of gossip．58．According to the passage，people in general think that__________．A．nobody pays attention to gossipB．it’s a bad habit to gossipC．not all the gossip you hear is worth believingD．it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor59．It could be learned from the passage that_________．A．people under much stress enjoy gossiping about othersB．in fact most people tend to believe gossipC．in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problemsD．the more there is gossip，the stronger relationships become between people七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）AFor many young people, becoming a professional athlete might seem like a dream job.

In Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Chongqing, there has been very little rain since last autumn. Crops died, the land cracked, and wells and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty finding safe drinking water.After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other resources.Last week, China asked every member of the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit area. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity.“A bottle of water isn’t much, but thousands of bottles will be of great use,” said Zhang Zihao, a middle school student at Tongling No. 1 Middle School in Anhui.In Yuhua Primary School in Xi’an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water.Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.“I heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy water. I feel really sad about that,” said one student. “I decided to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.” he said.68.

James Michener, a famous American writer donated at least 90 per cent of what he made from his 43 novels. He seemed to donate more than this. At his death, in October 1997, he had gave away US$ 117 million.

【参考范文】
The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

暑假又来了。我很高兴我能忘掉学校至少一段时间。恐怕我愚弄所有通过这个暑假,我做了一个计划如何花钱。首先,我认为我应该复习所有这些事情我的老师教在前面的术语,以便我能更好的理解他们。那么我想我应该参加一些形式的运动,如散步、跑步和划船、让我身体强壮。站着,这样一个好计划我应充分利用我的休假时间。我做,因为我没有辜负我的计划。
