【9】that / which

【解析】

试题分析:本文介绍一个快要死的有钱人,祈求上天带走钱的故事。

【1】that 考查连词的用法。句意:他很不安因为他如此努力工作为了挣钱以便于他希望他能够把钱带入天堂。这里是so…that 如此……以便于,that引导的是目的状语从句,它在从句中不作成分。

【2】An考查冠词的用法。句意:天使听见了他的祈祷就出现了。angel 天使,可数名词,这里是第一次出现,以元音开头,故用不定冠词an。

【3】but考查连词的用法。句意:对不起,你不能够随身带着钱。sorry后用but表示转折。

【4】if / whether考查连词的用法。句意:那个人乞求天使让她给上帝说说能否破了这个规矩。这里if / whether“是否”引导的是宾语从句,它们只起连接的作用,在句中不作成分。

【5】with考查固定短语的用法。句意:那个人高兴地把手提箱拿过来里面用金条把它装满。这里是短语fill…with 用……装满。

【6】Seeing考查非谓语动词的用法。句意:看到手提箱St. Peter 说:“等一下,你不能把那个箱子带到这里来。”Seeing的逻辑主语是St. Peter,它们之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词,作状语。

【7】permission考查名词的用法。句意:那个人解释说他已经得到了上帝的允许。这里God’s 是名词的所有格,后面须跟名词作中心词,permit是动词;permission是permit的名词形式。

【8】before考查介词的用法。句意:你是被允许只带一个箱子,但是我应该在你带进去之前检查一下里面的东西。before介词“在……之前”,根据句意故用before。

【9】that / which考查定语从句的用法。句意:St. Peter 打开箱子检查了那个人认为宝贵的不能丢下的东西。这里that / which引导的是定语从句,它在从句中作宾语,先行词是things。

【10】is made考查动词短语的用法。句意:你看见了天堂的这个街都是用纯金做的。这里是短语be made of用……做的;因为主语是the great street 是第三人称单数,根据As you can see 可以判断时态应该是一般现在时,故用is made。

【知识拓展】

1.be made of由---制成(可以看出原材料);be made from由---制成(不能看出原材料);be made in由---制成;;be made up of由---组成。

2.不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以元音开头的词前,表示“一”; an用在以辅音开头的词前,表示“一”。比如小题1,university 这个词以辅音开头,所以前面加a,表示一所大学。an important meeting 一个重要的会议;an interesting story 一个有趣的故事;an old man 一位老人;an hour 一小时;an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩;an American lawyer一个美国的律师; a useful tool 一个有用的工具;a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。

【题目】阅读下面短文,并按要求用英语写一篇150个词左右的英语短文。

Editor's note: China is the top country of origin for international students in the US, with more than 274,000 Chinese students reportedly accounting for 31 percent of all international students at US universities. Many Chinese parents save up a lot of money for their children to pursue an overseas education. Is it worth spending big to study abroad? You are welcome to leave your comments.

Arsa (Russia): I went to study abroad when I was 17. First year was a total waste as I met plenty of Russian students in my college and we spent most of our time shopping and hanging out at cafes, it wasn't until two years later that I realized that my English hadn't improved. I changed my mindset entirely and started studying hard. I ended up staying in UK for 10 years, which opened a lot of doors and introduced me to great people, so I'm all for studying abroad.

Truth (US): There is an assumption that American education is the best in the world, so Chinese parents are pushing their kids to American colleges. And some are even sending their children overseas at junior or high school level. I often feel this is a mistake as the education a Chinese child gets in a foreign country is very different from what they are used to and they often struggle. Some students have trouble understanding their lecturers and their assignments keep coming back with poor scores.

【题目】It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my dad and I had a very big argument (争吵) when my mom was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”

I threw a few things in a suitcase and closed the door angrily behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”

“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call,” I said with annoyance (烦恼). My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow,” I said and hung up.

I walked around the store, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone. When I left the supermarket, a large piece of white paper was in front of me. On the piece of white paper were these words: “Please come home! I miss you and I’m worried about you!”

Then a car pulled up beside me. Hanging out of the window was my dad. Beside him, smiling gently, sat my mom. And that’s when I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I cried.
