§2.2發散思維
1.It is on this arable land that the farmers produce food for the whole population of China.
就是在這些耕地上中國農民為全國的人口生產食物。
這是一個強調句型。強調句型可對句中除謂語動詞外的任何成分進行強調，其結構為：“It is(was)+強調部分+that(who)…”。如果被強調的部分是“人”，則可用who或that。如：
I met John in the street yesterday.
我昨天在街上遇見了約翰。
→It was I who/that met John in the street yesterday.(強調主語)
→It was John that/who I met in the street yesterday.(強調賓語)
→It was in the street that I met John yesterday.(強調地點狀語，不可用where)
→It was yesterday that I met John in the street.(強調時間狀語，不可用when)
使用強調句型應注意的問題：
（1）強調主語時，從句謂語動詞的人稱和數要與被強調的部分一致（即與原主語一致）。
It is I who/that am your true friend.我才是你真正的朋友。
（2）如果對not…until 時間狀語進行強調時，這個not必須移到until前邊去。如：
It was not until 1920 that regular radio broadcasts began.
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.
本句不能寫成：
It was until she took off her dark glasses that I didn't realize she was a famous film star.
2.as well as和……一樣好；(除……之外)又，不但……而且
She cooks as well as her mother does.
她燒菜燒得跟她母親一樣好。
She sings as well as she plays.(=Her singing is as good as her playing.)

As well as breaking his leg,he hurt his arm.
他不但摔斷了腿，而且還傷了胳膊。

注：as well as連接并列主語時，謂語動詞要隨前面的主語的人稱、數而變化。
His children as well as his wife were invited to the party.
不但他太太，連他的孩子們都被邀請參加了那次聚會。
as well adv.又，另外也，同樣
He knows German as well.他也懂德語。
He sent me a letter and some money as well.
他寄給我一封信，外加一些錢。
He gave me money as well as advice.(He gave me advice,and money as well.)

●思路開拓
實戰類例
1.They had a pleasant chat _____ a cup of tea.
A.for B.with C.during D.over
【解析】 本題考查介詞的用法區別。題意是“他們一邊喝咖啡，一邊愉快地交談”。介詞over有“（在飲食、工作時）一邊……一邊”之意。如：We discussed it over a bottle of wine.“我們一邊喝酒一邊討論這件事。”其他幾個介詞均沒有此意，故答案為D。另外，over亦可表示時間，意為“在……期間；一直到……結束；……以來”，如：Are you staying in London over Christmas?“你要呆在倫敦一直到過了圣誕節嗎？”The desert extends northward over time.“這沙漠隨時間在不斷向北延伸。”American English has changed over the centuries,too.“幾個世紀以來，美國英語也發生了變化。”Over the years she has become more and more patient.“這些年來，她變得越來越有耐心。”
【答案】 D
2.-Will you go skiing with me this winter vacation?
-It _____.
A.all depends B.is all depended C.is all depending D.all depends on
【解析】 本題考查習慣用語。題意是：“今年寒假和我一起去滑雪吧？”“那得看情況而定。”“It (all) depends.”或“That's (all) depends.”是英語口語中的習慣表達，意為“那得看情況而定；這可說不定；這也難說”。如：I may help you,but that depends.“我也許會幫助你，但得視情況而定。”Sometimes we're busy and sometimes we're not.It all depends,you see.“有時我們很忙，有時不忙，這很難說。”故答案為A。
【答案】 A
3.Not only _____ interested in football but _____ beginning to show an interest in it.
A.the teacher himself is;all his students are
B.the teacher himself is;are all his students
C.is the teacher himself;are all his students
D.is the teacher himself;all his students are
【解析】 本題考查倒裝結構。題意是“不僅老師自己對足球感興趣，他所有的學生也開始對足球有興趣了”。英語中如否定副詞或否定代詞放在句首，句子要部分倒裝，即將助動詞、系動詞或情態動詞置于主語之前。如：Never have I been to America so far.因此，not only…but (also)…句式如果把not only放在句首，句子就要用倒裝結構，但只是前一分句倒裝，后一分句不能倒裝。故答案為D。
【答案】 D
4.The pianos in the other shop will be _____,but _____.
A.cheaper;not as better B.more cheaper;not as better
C.cheaper;not as good D.more cheap;not as good
【解析】 本題考查形容詞的比較級用法。比較級常見的兩種表達法：一是“比較級+than…”結構；二是“as+原級+as…”結構，否定為“not as/so+原級+as…”。兩種結構有時根據上下文可采用省略形式，即可省略than或第二個as。該題題意是“另一家商店的鋼琴會便宜些，但不如這家商店的好”。可知but后應為否定的原級比較“not as good as those in this shop”。又因cheap的比較級形式是cheaper，不是more cheap，故答案為C。又如：This kind of paper was as soft and light as silk but much less expensive.（后省略了“than silk”）。試做下面兩個題目：
①It was not only you who made so many mistakes.I made just _____.
A.many B.so many C.as many D.much more
(答案:C)
②John is half a head shorter than his wife but 50 kg _____.
A.as much B.heavier C.heavy D.so heavy
(答案:B)
【答案】 C
5.Don't use words,expressions,or phrases _____ only to people with specific knowledge.
A.being known B.having been known
C.to be known D.known
【解析】 本題考查過去分詞作定語的用法。題意是“不要使用只有具有專業知識的人才能懂的詞、習語或短語”。因為know和words,expressions,or phrases之前是被動關系，所以應用表被動意義的動詞形式。A項是現在分詞的被動語態，表正在進行的某被動動作，相當于which are being known；B項是現在分詞完成式的被動式，通常只能用作時間狀語，不能作定語；C項是不定式的被動語態，常表示將來的動作；D項是過去分詞，作定語時表示該動作與前面的名詞具有被動關系，此時可換為一定語從句which are known。由題意知答案為D。
【答案】 D

Some reports from the western world say a grown-up person needs ten to twenty grams of salt a day.In our country,some people follow this idea.But don't dare to have a bit more,though that is much more than they used to take.But I don't think that's all right because there is a difference between Chinese and people in the western world.People in China,especially the farmers and the workers,usually do much more physical work which often makes them sweat and some salt runs away from their bodies with the sweat.So I suggest people not always copy the ideas from others and you can have a bit more salt if you need.Of course not too much.

§6.3閱讀理解
A
If you want your land to keep fertile,you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or winds.When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds,we call it soil erosion.Ways have been found to stop soil erosion,and this is known as soil conservation.One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grasses.These plants are referred to as cover crops,whose roots hold the soil tightly together.The rain water cannot wash away the soil.When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field,soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place.The trees and bushes,which act as a very big and firm wall,protect the open land from the winds.The way to stop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside.When the slope of a hillside is cut into “steps”,water carrying soil cannot run straight down the terraces,which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it.In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces,much soil in it is kept.
1.What takes place in soil erosion?
A.Flood happens to the fertile land.
B.A large quantity of the earth wears away gradually.
C.Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside.
D.Plants are grown to protect the open land.

4.Trees and tall bushes are planted around an open field_____.
A.because their roots hold soil tightly
B.to stop soil from being blown away by winds

5.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

Farmers can produce more by planting several different crops in the same field.But their success depends on which crops they plant together and how they mix(混合) them in the field.Until now,the only way the farmers could learn which cropsgrow best together is to plant them and wait for the results.Now,however,a computer can give them answers.A new computer program written by Dr John Vanderwell of Michigan University can tell a farmer which plants grow well together and which do not.It can tell him how to plant the different crops;if he should plant each in a separate row,or mix the crops in the same row.It can tell the farmer how changes in planting each of the crops will affect the production of all of them.And it can tell him which plants can help reduce losses(損失) from diseases.
1.Which of the following best gives the main idea of the passage?
A.Computer helps find the best program for mixing plants.

In some countries with very little rain,the farmers have to water the plants in their fields.To do that is easy if there is a great river near the crops.Canals carry the river water to the fields during the dry seasons.Sometimes,there is too much water in the river and a flood takes place.Sometimes when the river waterisn't enough for all the farmers,it will be difficult to give water to the crops.
In order to help the farmers,a dam should be built across the river.This will store water for dry seasons,and in wet seasons it will prevent floods.
A great lake will appear behind the dam.Then the country may have enough water.More crops will be grown,there will be more food for everyone and there will be no more floods.
In China a great dam has been designed and the project is being carried out.The designed dam is going to be built across the Changjiang River.This will of course bring happiness to the people on both banks.

THE GODDESS OF THE HARVEST
Ceres(谷物女神) was the goddess of the harvest.She made the food grow thatfed the people.Ceres had a beautiful daughter named Proserpina.One day when shewas a young woman,Proserpina was in a field picking flowers.She reached for a particularly pretty one.All at once the earth seemed to open.Proserpina fell intoa large hole.She fell a long distance until finally she landed in the Underworld.
Pluto,the god of the Underworld,had planned this trick,For a long time he had been lonely and wanted a woman to share his throne.Once riding his chariot(戰車) on the earth,he saw Proserpina.He thought her quite beautiful.Pluto wanted Proserpina to share his throne.
After arriving in the Underworld,Proserpina was treated like a goddess.She had lovely clothes and jewels.She liked Pluto very much.But before long Proserpina began to miss the Earth and her mother,Ceres.
At the same time,Ceres was very sad.She longed for the ruturn of Proserpina to Earth.She became so upset that finally she ruined a year's harvest.The people on Earth had nothing to eat.The gods were troubled.They told Ceres that they would bring Proserpina back to Earth.However,she could only come back to Earth if she had not eaten the fruits of the Underworld.
As soon as she found out she could come back to Earth,Proserpina was happy.Latershe admitted that she had,indeed,eaten some fruit.The gods were reasonable about this.They soon agreed to let her come back to Earth for part of each year.This made Ceres happy,too.She brought about a good growing season and a good harvest during the time when Proserpina was on Earth.Proserpina has been known ever since for the yearly growth.
