I. Grammar （ 重點語法回顧 ）
<一>The Present Perfect Tense
1）用法：
**現在完成時表示到現在為止剛剛完成的動作或狀態，中文常譯為“…了”，“…完”
I have just finished my homework.（我剛做完作業。）
**表示過去繼續到現在的動作或狀態
He has lived here for ten years.（他住在這兒十年了。）
**表示到現在為止的一種經驗，常譯為“…過”
I have never been to Hong Kong.
2）結構：由have/ has + 過去分詞構成
（不規則動詞的過去分詞須牢記）
3）常見的標志詞：
already, yet, ever, never, just, before…
for+段時間, since+點時間, since+句子（常用過去時）
4）區分現在完成時和一般過去時
一般過去時 現在完成時
只指過去某個時間曾做過或發生的動作，狀態，與現在無關。
She saw the film last month.
她上個月看了這部電影。 動作發生在過去，或動作從過去開始，但強調與現在的關系，對現在造成的影響。
I have seen the film.
我看過這部電影。
與一般過去時連用的時間狀語
…ago, last week, just now,
yesterday, a moment ago… 與現在完成時連用的時間狀語
just, before, already, yet, so far,
till now, these days…
5）難點
***正確區分 have been to/ have gone to
I have been to Shanghai. It’s a beautiful city.
Where is Jack? He has gone to the library.
have/has been to+地點 表示某人曾經去過某地，表示一種經歷
have/has gone to+地點 表示某人說話時已離開此地，在去某地的路上或已去了某地 （一般用于第三人稱）
***延續性動詞與非延續性動詞
1. 現在完成時態既涉及過去，又聯系現在，它的第二種用法就是表示過去已經開始，而持續到現在的動作或狀態，可以和表示一段時間的狀語連用。這段時間從過去某一時刻延續到現在（包括“現在”在內）。由for或since引導的短語表示，如：
He has waited here for half an hour.
She has studied in this school since 1995.
2. 能這樣用的動詞都是表示延續的情況或動作的動詞，如be, have, know, live, work, study, learn, teach, speak, talk, draw, wait, wear, walk, sleep等。這類動詞稱為“延續性”動詞。
The baby has slept for about two hours.
He has been a doctor since ten years ago.
How many years have you lived here?
3. 有些動詞的意義決定它們所表示的動作不能延續，只是一瞬間就結束的動作。這類動詞叫做“非延續性動詞”，常見的有：come, go, arrive, reach, see, hear, close, leave, begin, start, lose, buy, close, fall, join, die, get up…它們可以用于完成時態，說明某個動作的結果還存在，但它們不能和表示一段時間的狀語連用。
He has come back. The film has begun.
He has been back for a week. The film has been on for ten minutes.
4. 在否定句中，非延續性動詞可和一段時間狀語連用。
I haven’t heard from my uncle for a long time.
We haven’t seen him since 1992.
She hasn’t left home all her life.
*** It is/ has been+ 時間 since + 過去時
It’s a week since he came back.
= It has been a week since he came back.
<二>The Object Clause
1. 定義：在復合句中作賓語的從句叫賓語從句。
2. 連接賓語從句的連詞有三種：
that;
if/ whether; “是否”
how, when, why, what, who, whom等連接代詞或連接副詞。
3. 賓語從句的語序為陳述語序。
4. 注意從句和主句的時態一致。
賓語從句是初中階段一個很重要的語法項目，同時也是一個難點和考點。希望這首記憶口訣能幫助大家巧記賓語從句。
學習賓從三注意，時態、語序和連詞。
時態主從要呼應：
主句若為現在時，從句時態隨句意；
主句若為過去時，從句時態變過去；
賓從若是表真理，時態不變無質疑。
語序要用陳述序，切莫照搬疑問句。
That連接陳述句，省與不省要注意。
從句若表“是否”時，if/whether要慎記。
特殊問句作賓語，仍用原來疑問詞。
三個問題需記牢，切莫丟東忘了西。
II. Typical Problems （ 典題欣賞 ）
1. Mr Li _______ to America 20 years ago and has been there ________.
A. has gone, since then B. went, from then
C. has gone, since ever D. came, ever since
答案為D。20 years ago是一個明確的過去時間的狀語，其所在句子的謂語動詞應用一般過去時，故排除A和C項。“自那時起”可表示為ever since，應和句中現在完成時連用，B項中from then與現在無關，不能與現在完成時連用。
2. The whole family ______ for you _______ an hour. Be quick!
A. has waited, for B. has waited, since
C. have waited, for D. have waited, since
答案為C。根據句意，family在此指的是“家庭成員”，謂語動詞應用復數形式，故排除A和B項。又根據“for+段時間, since+點時間”的用法,可確定為C正確選項。
3. Paul ______ Beijing for 5 years. He has bought a car ________.
A. has come to, yet B. has been in, already
C. has been in, since last year C. came, for a year
答案為B。A和D項中的come為終止性動詞，不可與段時間for 5 years連用，故可排除。C項中的since last year表示“自去年以來”這一段時間，不可與原句中的終止性動詞buy連用，故可排除。而B項中的“already”，意思為“已經”，在這里強調從過去某一時間到目前為止的狀況，應與現在完成時連用，所以答案為 B。
4. Could you tell me ___________?
A. Lily is where B. where Lily is
C. where is Lily D. where Lily was
答案為B。本題考查的是賓語從句的語序問題。賓語從句雖然由疑問詞引導，但仍應保持陳述句語序。表示請求時用could you比can you更顯得真誠和禮貌。
5. I didn’t know _________.
A. if they would buy a new car B. would they buy a new car
C. if they will buy a new car D. if will they buy a new car
答案為A。主句是過去時，從句也應用相應的過去時態，并且從句部分應為陳述句語序。這兩條全符合的只有A選項。

Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus （焦點） of the table. Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you don’t like the food or something like that.
Don’t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess （女主人）know that you’ve just done a labour?
Don’t lean （倚靠） back and say “I’m through” or “I’m full”. Just put the fork and knife across the plate. That’s all.
Don’t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites （塊） at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don’t do that. It’s not so good.
It’s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

Coffee has been a part of people’s lives for thousands of years, and today it is still one of the most favourite drinks in the world. Many people in the world begin their busy day by drinking a cup or several cups of coffee. They have always said that a cup of coffee in the morning helps them begin their day in the right way. So they say a cup of coffee is necessary for them in the morning.
Do you know what in the coffee makes our bodies and brains （腦） active? It is caffeine.
Caffeine may increase a person’s mental and physical abilities （精力和體能）. For example, two cups of coffee will make you breathe faster and augment body heat （熱量）. All this makes your heart beat faster, and doctors warn that this may be a little dangerous.
Caffeine is found in tea, coffee, chocolate and some other foods. A little caffeine is probably not harmful, but too much caffeine can make people nervous and sleepless.
54. A good title（題目） for this passage is ___________.

We all enjoy the beautiful show of colours as leaves change each autumn. But did you ever wonder how and why this happens?
Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots （根） and take carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose （葡萄糖）. Glucose is a kind of sugar, which plants use as food for energy （能量） and growing.
The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis （光合作用）.
A chemical called chlorophyll （葉綠素） helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories.
As the green chlorophyll disappears （消失） from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. Small amounts （少量） of these colours have been in the leaves all along. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples （紫色） we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn.
In some trees, like maples （楓樹）, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red colour. The brown colour of trees like oaks （橡樹） is made from waste left in the leaves.
It is the mixture （混合物） of all these things that makes the beautiful colours we enjoy during autumn.
57. The leaves of the trees in autumn turn yellow because of the short of ____________.
A. water and carbon dioxide B. glucose and energy
C. sunlight and water D. sunlight and carbon dioxide
58. Photosynthesis is a way that ___________________________.
A. plants change water and carbon dioxide into sugar
B. plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar with the help of sunlight
C. plants use glucose as food for energy and growing
D. chlorophyll is a great help
59. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. When autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.
B. During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.
C. During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colours are kept in the leaves all the time.
D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.
60. This passage tells us __________________.
A. all the plants can grow well with the strong sunlight
B. there are all kinds of plants on the earth
C. all the colours of the leaves aren’t made from chlorophyll
D. maples and oaks have the same reason as other trees for the change of colours

IV. 閱讀短文，簡要回答下列問題。（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）
A farm is always a busy place. One of the busiest things is when the farmer is getting land ready to grow plants.
If the farmer is going to grow wheat, he has to turn the ground over first. The farmer drives up and down the paddock on tractor. When the ground is ready, the farmer sows the seeds. He does this with a machine that the tractor pulls along. Now, one farm and one machine can do as much a day as twenty men used to do without a machine. After the wheat has been sown, the farmer keeps a lookout for rain. Wheat needs rain and warm sunny days to make it grow. When the wheat has grown, it turns to a lovely golden colour.
When the wheat is fully grown, you can see the seeds on the wheat plants. These have to be out off and put in bags or big trucks to be taken to a factory where they are made into flour.
It’s a very busy time on farm when the wheat is being cut. Everyone helps so that all the wheat can be taken from the paddocks before the rain comes. If heavy rain falls, the farm must wait for the ground dry out before the machine can cut the wheat. Farmers always have a lot to do through the year.
1. What is the busiest thing?
2. What does the farmer have to do when he is going to grow wheat?
3. Why was much more time spent on sowing in the past?
4. What do farmers not need when they cut wheat?
5. Does everyone help to cut the wheat?

聽第三段材料，回答第21-24題。
People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually can’t see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are careless. People should look and listen before they cross the road. A car, a truck or a bus can’t stop very quickly if it is going very fast. It will travel many metres before it stops. People don’t always know this. They think a car can stop right away. The faster a car is travelling, the longer it takes to stop. It’s difficult for people to know how fast a car is travelling. The only safe way to cross the road is to look at both sides, right and left. The correct way to cross is to walk quickly when the traffic lights turn green. It’s not safe to run.
