[精美语篇]
In 1848, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich attracted the Chinese. However, few achieved their dream. The majority still chose to remain in California to make a life despite great hardship. Their cells were cold and damp, but they had nowhere to go. Their miserable life seemed to be punishment rather than justice. They wrote poems to mourn their former life in China. In the meanwhile, they applied for right to live in the USA, but it was not until the civil authorities reformed the system that they were able to grasp the opportunity. The customs and languages live on in their new home.
Today, a large percentage of Chinese-Americans live in the
Chinatowns, still keeping up their Chinese culture. The history of the early immigrants makes us thankful for our life today.

复习名词性从句
(主语从句、宾语从句和表语从句)
概念
一个句子在整个的主句中起到一个名词的作用,那么,这个句子即为名词性从句,又根据在复合
句中具体充当的成分,可分别称为主语从句(Subject Clause)
、宾语从句(Object Clause)、表语从句
(Predicative Clause)和同位语从句(Appositive Clause)。
名词性从句的引导词
引导名词性从句的连接词分为三类:
1.连词:that, whether, if(在从句中不充当成分)
It's good to know that the dogs will be well cared for while we're away.
2.连接代词:what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, whose, which(在从句中充当主语、宾语、表语、
定语)
“Every time you eat a sweet, drink green tea.” This is what my mother used to tell me.
3.连接副词:when, where, how, why (在从句中充当状语)
Exactly when the potato was introduced into Europe is uncertain, but it was probably around 1565.
主语从句
主语从句可以放在主句谓语动词之前,但有时为避免句子头重脚轻,常用 it 作形式主语,而把主语从句置于句末。主语从句后的谓语动词一般用单数形式。
It happened that I met her in a book store.
宾语从句
1.形式宾语 it
动词 find, feel, consider, make, believe
等后面有宾语补足语的时候,则需要用 it 作形式宾语而将
that 宾语从句后置。
Susan made it clear to me that she wished to make a new life for herself.
2.介词后的宾语从句
连词 that 引导的名词性从句很少作介词的宾语,只用在 except, but, in 后;其他的介词后的宾语
从句如果由连词 that 引导,则需用 it 先行一步作形式宾语。
You may depend on it that Tom will help you with your English.
3.某些形容词或过去分词后常接宾语从句,这类形容词或过去分词有 sure, glad, certain, pleased,happy, afraid, surprised, satisfied 等,连词 that 可省略。
They are afraid (that) I will feel lonely.
4.宾语从句中的时态与主句时态的呼应
主句动词是现在时,从句应根据具体情况使用不同时态。当主句动词是过去时态(could, would 除外)时,从句则要用相应的过去时态,如:一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时等;但当从句表示的是客观真理、科学原理、自然现象,则从句仍用现在时态。
We arrived at work in the morning and found that somebody had broken into the office during the
night.
表语从句
1
.引导表语从句的关联词与引导主语从句的关联词大致一样,表语从句位于系动词后,有时用as if 引导。其基本结构为:主语+系动词+从句。
-What a mess! You're always so lazy!
-I'm not to blame, mum. I am what you have made me.
2.when, where, why, how, because 引导的从句作 This is 或 That is 的表语时,表示具体的时间、地点、原因、方式等。
That is why I don't finish the task in time.
3.当主语是 reason 时,表语从句要用 that 引导而不是 because。
The reason why he was late was that he missed the train by one minute this morning.

他订房间。该句为宾语从句,由句意可知应填 when。
2.Some people believe ________ has happened before or is happening now will repeat itself in the future.
答案:whatever 考查主语从句的引导词。句意:一些人认为不管是以前发生的还是现在发生的事情都会在将来重现。“________ has
happened before or is happening now”为主语从句,且从句中缺少
主语,根据句意应填 whatever。
3.As John Lennon once said, life is ________ happens to you while you are busy making other plans.

4.I truly believe ________ beauty comes from within.
答案:that 考查宾语从句的引导词。句意:我真的相信美是发自内心的。believe 后为宾语从句,且从句中不缺少句子成分,故应填 that。
5.Grandma pointed to the hospital and said, “That's ________ I was born.”
答案:where 考查表语从句的引导词。where 在此句中引导表语从句,并在从句中作地点状语。

How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything
you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequencesW1 afterward and especially if he is your boss. It's something called “face_saving” in the Asian culture. It's ridiculousW2
sometimes but it's their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an
equalW3. Americans are very different from Asian people. If you're Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you're
in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizesW4 them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn't work that way with Asian people. If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don't like them, disrespectful, and want to getridofP1 them; when in fact, you're just doing your job. Of course, it's not fairW5 for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is onyourAsianemployee'smindP2.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文中介绍了迪拜作为著名的旅游胜地,吸引无数游客到此观光和购物。
1.to 考查介词。to 表示“达到”的意思。句意:自从 1996 年,在这里发现了石油以后,这里的人口已经达到了两千六百万。
2.What 考查主语从句。What 引导的主语从句,在从句中作主语。此处表示这个地方吸引游客的是免税购物。
3.to experience 考查动词不定式。此处动词不定式表示目的。句意:实际上,一些外国游客专门来到这里就是为了体验购物的。
4.providing 考查现在分词作状语。provide 与逻辑主语之间为主动关系,因此填 providing。句意:这里有很多的购物广场,提供每一个你能叫得出名称的名牌。
5.attractions 考查词性转换。由于空格前 amazing 为形容词,所以此处填名词复数 attractions,表示“旅游景点”。句意:在迪拜选择旅游景点是很困难的,因为甚至是旅馆也是很吸引人的旅游景点。
6.it 考查代词。it 在这里指代的是前文提到的 The Burj Al Arab。
7.a 考查冠词。不定冠词表泛指。此处表示 The Burj Al Arab 被建造成一只船的样子。
8.taller 考查形容词的比较级。帆船酒店(The Burj Al Arab)与埃菲尔铁塔相比,所以要用比较级结构。此处表示帆船酒店比埃菲尔铁塔还要高。
9.truly 考查副词。truly 是副词,表示“真正地”, 修饰后面的动宾结构。此处表示在这个地方旅行的确能带给你不一样的经历。
10.offered 考查过去分词作后置定语。offer 与 things 之间为被动关系,故填 offered。此处表示因为这里能提供给不同类型的游客有趣的事情。
