句子分析
1.Imagine that you have found a good story, and, what is even more important, the time to enjoy it.
1) “what is even more important.” what结构常构成插入语。如：
He is an interesting speaker, and, what is more important, he knows his subject thoroughly.
He went to the meeting and, what is worse, insisted on speaking.
2) have found有两个并列的宾语，一个是a good story，另一个是the time。
2.Do not start a book unless you can see from the first few pages that it is one you can easily read and understand.
unless引导条件状语从句，“除非 ” 。that引导宾语从句，且从句中代词one后有一个定语从句，引导词that省略。
句意含有“除非…否则就不要 ”，这样是加强语气。=Read the books you can see from the first pages that you can easily read and understand.
语言重点
1.On the subject of reading, Francis Bacon, who lived at about the same time as Shakespeare, wrote these words,…
“on” 表示关于某一问题，就问题某一点。on 和about在此近似。在正式就某问题发表看法时多用on，一般情况下可用about。如：
I want to speak on a very serious subject.
They had many quarrels on politics and religions.
He gave the child a book about rabbits.
2.You might pick up a travel book and read a few pages before going to sleep.
pick up有诸多意义，在阅读中时常见到。如：
Please pick up these pieces of paper.（拾起）
Don’t forget to pick up the ice-cream on the way home.（顺便去买）
Where did you pick up that cold?（染上病）
He picked up French while he was staying in Paris.（非正规学会）
I’ll pick you up on the comer at three; don’t be late.（接某人上车）
He picked up a few dollars by doing odd jobs.（挣外快，挣工资）
The room must be picked up before the guests arrive.（整理，收拾）
My radio can pick up France very clearly.（听到，收听到）
The car picked up speed quickly.（加速）
3.First, read a chapter quickly to get a general idea…
a) First与firstly, firstly是副词，在列举事项条目时使用，在现代英语中用first。例：
First, brush your teeth. Second, wash your face. Third, eat your breakfast. Fourth, get to school.
b) get an idea了解……情况，对……了解，如：
I’ve got a good idea of what he wants.
4.Finally, and above all, enjoy your reading!
above all首先，最重要的是，特别是
But above all tell me quickly what I have to do.
And above all, I wanted to show that I did not care.
Above all he was a first-rate mathematician.
5.One refers to the type of listening practice, which we do when learning a foreign language.
refer常与to连用，在此意义为“指的是”
refer to是常用词，常见意义如下：
For information about trains you must refer to a timetable.(查阅)
When I said some people are stupid, I wasn’t referring to you.(指……而言）
This rule refers to everyone.（适用于）
Don’t refer to the matter again.（提到，谈到）
He referred his wealth to his own hard work.（归功于）
6.In other words I should not watch TV, or look over your shoulder at other people while we are talking together.
in other words换句话说，如：
In other words, they were surprisingly good-humoured.
He became, in other words, a great hero.
In other words, oval, brown etc. are adjectives.
7.Don’t interrupt, saying, “Oh, yes, that reminds me of…” and start to tell your story.
remind 使……想起（cause one to remember）
通常用于remind sb. of, remind sb. that从句，remind sb. to do结构中，如：
That story you have just told reminds me of an experience I once had.
The sight of the clock reminded me that I was late.
Remind me to take my medicine tomorrow.
有时也可接about，如：
Did you remind him about that book he borrowed?
二. 语法详释
【要点归纳】
句子成分(一) : 谓语
谓语说明主语的动作或状态，谓语大体分两类。
1.简单谓语
凡是由一个动词构成，无论是什么时态，语态，语气都是简单谓语。如：
People’s standard of living are going up steadily.
He was respected by the people.
2.复合谓语
（1） 情态动词或某些其他动词加不定式构成，这种结构称为动词性复合谓语。
He may be right.
We ought to have done better.
（2） 系动词或个别其他动词加表语构成，这种结构称为名词性复合谓语，这两部分在一起表示一个概念，是不宜分开的。
It is a powerful engine.
Shops remained open till late in the evening.
情态动词
情态动词表示说话人的情绪、语气、态度。情态动词没有人称和数的变化，不能单独使用。后面跟的动词一般是原形。
1.情态动词can, could, may; might基本用法。
(1) 许可can/could
(a) 请求can/could I…?用could婉转。
(b) 同意或拒绝Yes, you can. No, you can’t.（不用could）
(c) 其他情况
When I was young, I could swim across the river.
These days children can do what they like.
When can I go to the hotel?
以上例子不用May/might代替。
May/might表说话人的请求同意或拒绝，这一点和can的（1）-（b）相同，其他用法不成立。
(a) 请求May/Might I…?
以上回答及其他陈述不用Might（因为could, might表示婉转），主句是过去时的间接引语例外。
(b) 同意或拒绝Yes, you may/No, you may not/No, you mustn’t/you’d better not. 以上答语及其他陈述均不用might（因为could, might表示婉转），但主句是过去时的间接引语例外。
(2) 可能性
（a） can在肯定句中仅指一般的或理论上的可能。
If you have fifty or sixty books at home, this can be your library.
It can be very cold here, even in May.
（b） can在疑问句，否定句中表示可能性。
Can it be true? No, it can’t be true.
（3）能力
can/could表示能力。be able to do表示某人有作某事的能力，它可以根据不同的时间关系构成各种时态。
Fish can swim, and I can swim too.
He will be able to swim.
2． 情态动词must, have to
(1) 必须
must没有过去式，可以表示现在和将来，用于第一人称，表示说话人的决心，用于第二、三人称表示强烈要求对方做某事。have to表示受环境制约，“不得不”做某事，过去式是had to.
We must have a plan.
You must hand in your exercises.
回答must提问的句子时，回答如是否定的，通常用needn’t.
(2) 推测
must用于肯定句，常表示推测。
He must be a doctor.（对现在推测）
He must have been a doctor.（对过去推测）
但mustn’t不表示推测，而表示禁止。
You mustn’t swim in the river.
3． 情态动词ought to, should
两者都表示应该。ought接带to不定式，语气比should强。
You ought not to (should not) answer this question at once.
ought to have done
表示过去该干而没干（虚拟语气），有责备意思。
should have done
You should (ought to) have told me about it earlier.
You should have been waiting for me. Why haven’t you?
4． 情态动词shall, will
shall一般用于第一人称，will用于其他人称，表示“将来”。美国常把will用于所有人称。
(1) shall用于第一人称在疑问句中表示征求对方意见。
Shall I turn on the light?
Let’s go out for a walk, shall we?
(2) Shall用于第二、三人称表示“保证、威胁、警告”。
You shall be punished if you insist on doing it this way.
(3) Will用于第一人称表示意愿，用于其他人称有时也表示意愿。
I will go no matter whether it is late or not.
If you will wait a minute, I’ll go with you.
5． 情态动词would与used to
would表示过去多次重复的动作时一般与表示过去时间的时间状语和从句连用。
When I was young, he would tell me stories.
一般说来used to do表示过去习惯动作时，与would可以互换，而如表示过去常常，而现在不这样了，只能用used to do.
He used to be careless in his homework.
6． 情态动词need与dare
need和dare可以做情态动词，也可做行为动词。做情态动词时，后面接动词原形，用于疑问句和否定句。做行为动词时，后面接带to不定式。
Need I go with him?
I need to talk to him.
【高考焦点】
1.The fire spread through the hotel very quickly but everyone _____ get out .
A. had to B. would C. could D. was able to NMET1997
解析:could与was (were )able to 都可以表示过去的能力。Could指过去的习惯能力，表示主语处于“能够”做某事的状态，was (were) able to不仅表示“能够”做某事，而且表达实际上已经成功地做了某事，用于过去某一实际场合。
答案：D。
人大火中逃出，是发生在某宾馆一次火灾中的具体行动，只能用was able to, 此题不能用表示天生的或学到的具备做某事能力的could去取代。
2.He ______ more help, even though he was very busy.
A. might have given B. might give C. may have given D. may give
解析：“may/might+不定式完成体”都可用来推测过去发生某事的可能性，但“might+完成体“，语气更为不肯定，常有否定意义，即某事可能发生而却未发生，暗含责备意味。本题含义明显：he即使很忙，也有可能给对方更多帮助，然而事实并非如此。“may+完成体”则不具备这种含义。
三. 词语探究
【重点词语讲解】
1.refer to
a. refer to sb.提到，说起 =mention ;speak about
e.g. He referred to Rio de Janeiro in his speech about travel .
b. refer to sth.参考，查资料 =look at for information
e.g. If you don’t know what this meant ,refer to the dictionary .
c. refer to sb./sth.有关，针对
e.g.The new law does not refer to land used for farming .
d. refer sth. to sb.交给（别人）做决定或采取行动
e.g. The store referred the complaint (back ) to the makers of the product .
商店把投诉转交给那个货物制造商。
2．dip
a. dip sth. in /into…浸，泡一下
e.g. …to dip ones spoon into the coffee .
b. drop slightly微沉，下沉
e.g. The sun dipped below the western sea .
e.g. The road dips just around the corner .路在拐弯处微微下斜。
c. dip into sth.浏览，不经心的看
e.g. I haven’t really read that book ; I’ve only dipped into it .
d.掏出，探取
e.g. He dipped into his pocket and bought drinks for his friend .
【重点词语辨析】
chance ,opportunity的区别
chance表机会，但具有较多的偶然性 例：
This gave him a fair chance.
I met him by chance.
chance 比opportunity语意重些，特别是在含有否定意义的句中。例：
He had no chance to attend college because of poverty .
opportunity指一般的机会，特别指对自己有利的机会。例：
I’m glad to have the opportunity of talking to you .
This will be a good opportunity to explain that to her .
注意：take an (the )opportunity得到机会
take a (the ) chance碰运气
两者区别很大。
四. 口语交际

In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were 4 for advanced degrees had to 5 questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This 6 exists today as part of the process of 7 candidates(应试者)for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, 8 ,modern examinations are written. The written examination, 9 all students are tested on the same questions, was probably 10 until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great 11 in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, 12 exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, is similar to a group of 13 at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are 14 to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes 15 an “objective test”. It is intended to deal with facts,

Reading is thought to be a kind of a conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. With the help of these, he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness（意识）. At times, however, we become conscious. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting(解释)，criticizing, analyzing(分析)and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text. The latter represents high levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation, which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned(关系到)not with meaning but with the strategies(策略)we use in reading, If we’re an advanced reader, our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed, not like our ability to hold a process conversation. It is exact this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being upon us by studying at a high level.
1.The consciousness of reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text takes place only when________.
A. the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text
B. The reader has trouble understanding what the writer says
C. The reader asks questions and gets answers
D. The reader understands a text very well
2.Accrding to the passage, a lower level reader are likely to_______.
A. read a text slowly
B. read without thinking hard
C. interpret a text in their own way
D. concentrate on the meaning of words only
3.From the passage we know it’s important for readers at a higher level to keep a balance between_______.
A. conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B. the reader’s expectations and the meaning of a text
C. lower and higher levels of comprehension
D. interpreting and criticizing a text
4.What should we do if we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level? _______.
A. Learn to use different ways of reading different texts.
B. Make our reading process more conscious.
C. Pay more attention to the content of a text.
D. Take a critical attitude towards the writer’s ideas.

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair.

In the United States, 50 percent of families have computers at home and almost one third are linked to the Internet. Americans spent over US＄ 2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998. This figure is expected to reach US＄ 11 billion by the year 2004.

These types of products are the most common purchases(购入品) through the Internet.

June 8, Sunday Fine
I often stay up late to go over my lessons for the college entrance examinations.
Last night I didn’t go to bed until 12 o’clock. When I woke up this morning. it was already 9 o’clock. I got dressed and washed myself quickly. Then I rushed into the living-room, where Mother was preparing breakfast. Before she could say anything. I got my schoolbag. ran out and got on my bike. I rode as fast as I could. It seemed only a few minutes before I got to the school gate. To my surprise, it was closed. It was then that I realized it was Sunday today.
