1.基本概念 祈使句是用来表示命令，请求或建议等意义的句子，是英语的基本句型之一。 2.基本要点

Come here, please. 请来这里。
Please open the window. 请打开窗子。 Come and meet my family. 来见见我家人。 You clean the blackboard. 你来擦黑板！
3. 基本句型
(1) Do 型（以行为动词原形开头） Get out! 出去！
(2) Be 型
Be quiet! 安静！
(3) Let +宾语+ do 型 e. g. Let’s listen to the music. 我们听音乐吧。注意：
三种句型中 Do 型为最常见、最简单的一种结构。表示请求、劝告的祈使句还可以在句前 或句末加上 Please。以使语气更加缓和，客气。
Help him, please! 请帮帮他!
Please pass me that book. 请把那本书递给我。 4. 祈使句的否定结构
Don’t/Never + 动词原形
Don’t do that again! 不要再做那件事了！ Never do that again! 再也不要做那件事了！ Don’t make any noise! 不要发生噪音。

-----Turn down the TV, will you? 把电视机（音量）调低一些好吗？
----Yes, I will./ No, I won’t. 好的/不。
(1). 以 Let's 开头的祈使句,其附加疑问句一般用 shall we，而以 Let us 开头的祈使句,其附 加疑问句则用 will you。因为 let’s 中的 us 包含听话者（即被请求者），而 let us 中的 us 不包含听话者在内。

Dear Mr. Perkins,
(A)
We would like to introduce ourselves. Our company was organized only two years ago, but we are one of the largest boat companies in California. As you know, your son has bought a boat from us recently, and I think you know how pleased he is with our product. Also, John Webb, one of your son's friends, has bought a boat from us and, we understand, is very happy with his boat. We are always happy to know that our customers are satisfied. We are writing to you now because, as you know, your son has decided to buy a larger boat, and we need
your signature on the loan (贷款) papers. The loan application has already been
signed by Danny. As you will see, there is one form to fill out, and there are three contracts to sign. Danny’s 26-foot boat was returned to our San Pedro Dock yesterday, and we are pleased to say that the new 36-foot “Challenger” will be delivered in two weeks from today. It is being inspected by our manager right now. The auto-pilot (自动领航仪) has already been installed by our mechanic. It looks as though everything will be ready in time for delivery. All we need are the signed contracts from you.
Thank you.
Tony Valention

There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously(无意识的). I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English- speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of
the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s
own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their
students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
Don’t guess! Look it up!
4. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is .
A. to learn them by oneself
B. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
C. to guess them from the context
D. to get more separate meanings of each word
5. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.
A. the 30,000 words B. English teachers
C. misunderstood words D. frequently used words
6. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?
A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
7. It can be inferred that __.
A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart
B. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
C. it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context
D. only dictionaries can help us learn language well
(C)
My first performance in front of an audience was coming up soon.
I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They
were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?
As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the
spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地).
My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.
There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.
When l came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.
8. The author was nervous before the performance because .
A. his or her mother and father weren’t present
B. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stage
C. he or she hadn’t mastered the entire piece
D. he or she had never performed in public before
9. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.
A. put into disorder B. forget about C. stop halfway D. do well in
10. The author _ .
A. didn’t make any mistake in the performance
B. felt better at the beginning of the performance
C. paid all attention to nothing but his / her performance
D. lost his / her concentration sometimes during the performance
11. What did the author feel about his / her performance?
A. He / She thought it was comfortable and successful.
B. He / She thought it was very difficult but successful.
C. He / She thought he / she had never made a mistake during the performance.
D. He / She thought he / she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.
(D)
People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities.

chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to(导致) lung diseases and causing early death.
12. The key point of the passage is that .

A. to persuade people to stop polluting the air
B. to tell the causes of air pollution

D. to describe why cities are bad places to live

A. Because there larger populations in cities.
B. Because the air in the city is dirty.
C. Because there are more cars in the city.
D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy in the city than in the country.

1．当婴儿捧到怀里时，才发现孩子天生就没有耳朵，母亲惊讶不已，用disappointed“ 失望”似乎也讲得通，但与后面所表现出来的伟大的母爱相矛盾。 2．时间证明了孩子的听力没有缺陷，see“见证”，与题意不符。 3．听力没有缺陷，但是由于天生就没有耳朵，appearance“相貌”自然受影响；figure“身
材”、face“脸庞”与“没有耳朵”不存在必然的联系，故排除。
4．put oneself into one’s arms“投身于某人的怀抱”，符合题意。 5．母亲能理解孩子生活中受了许多苦，故尔叹息。know“了解、知道”，表示伴随动作， 符合题意；guess“猜测”，doubt“怀疑”，wonder“想知道”，均与题意不符。 6．favorite“最受欢迎 / 喜爱的人”，符合题意。
7．他长大后成了最受同学喜爱的人，要不是那事，他甚至有可能成为班长。 8．speak with = talk with“会谈、交谈”，符合题意。 9．“真的啥事都干不了吗？”，用nothing能体现父亲焦急的心情。 10．transplant on“移植”，符合题意。 11．既然移植一对外耳是可能做到的，就得寻找肯为孩子做出牺牲的人。 12．make a sacrifice for sb“为某人做出牺牲”。
13． “儿子，你可以上医院动手术了，我和母亲请来了一位愿意捐献耳朵给你的人，但此 事要保密”，不难看出，这里表转折，用but。

16．keep secret“保守秘密”。 17．父亲走到母亲的灵柩前，慢慢地、轻柔地撩起她浓密的棕色长发……
18．show“使显露”，符合题意。

1. 见contracts所在的句子以及最后一句话。这是写这封信的实质。而其余部分主要是宣传 他们的公司，他们的服务等。这些都是为了让客户放心地购他们的货。
2. 该词前面讲到了Mr. Perkins的儿子决定向船舶公司买一艘大船；又根据contracts后面 的sign(签订)以及随后讲的公司已做好交货的准备，需要的只是签订了的contracts等等， 可知它的意思是“合同”。
3. 正文第二句讲：他们的公司两年前才成立。
4. 本文作者不主张猜词义，而强调查辞典的重要性，并应记住尽量多的词义。作者在倒数 第二段作了说明：辞典能给出很多不同的词义。联系起来可得出此答案。也可用排除法。 5. 根据上文所说I learnt the 30,000 words...可知。
6. 从第1段中的sinking in(潜移默化)和第2段中的pick them up(不知不觉学到)，可知作者
掌握的词汇中一部分是在生活中无意识学到的。
7. 第3段说作者对所学词汇中的5％理解错误，原因是用得最少。而用得多的则误解的可能 性小。
8. 从第1段可知，这是作者首次在观众面前演出，再结合第3、4段便知作者紧张的原因。
9. 从前面的内容推知：在父母面前演奏无妨，即使messed up(弄得一团糟)他们也会说“很 好”。
10. 9、10、11三段都对此作了描述。
11. 最后两段无疑是在告诉读者，作者成功了。此外前八段都是对作者紧张、不安的描 述。所以只有B项能恰当反映作者对此次表演的感受。D显然错误；同时因为作者演奏时曾 弹错了一个音符，所以C的说法错误。
12. 主旨题。纵观全文，文章的前半部分讲的是导致污染的原因，而后半部分讲的是污染 的结果。而A只强调起因，C只强调结果，D与本文没有什么关系。所以B为正确答案。
13. 文章没有直接说写这篇文章的目的。但我们从受污染的结果可以推断出写这篇文章的
目的就是要我们减少污染。所以A为正确答案。
14. 第一段后半部分说明，空气污染的主要原因是汽车的废气和用来发电的煤和油的燃 烧。而汽车和电在城市里比在郊区用得多。故D正确。
15. 根 据 文 章 最 后 一 句 “these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.”可知，B为正确答案。
