Some of us are having problems with our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries._____________________ Thank you! [思路点拨] 体裁与历年一样,仍是一封书信,但话题却是考生非常熟悉和感兴趣的话题,即对某些父母偷翻孩子的书包,偷看孩子的日记的做法的一些看法。对于此类文章,要按照要求写出此类方面的内容,认真、规范、清楚的书写,并适当运用一些复合句和关联词语进行连接,就会是一篇很好的文章了。 [范文] Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Some of us are having problems with our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are not comfortable about it, but there's no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking our bags or diaries to make sure we're not getting into any trouble. They have probably heard some horrible stories about other kids and thought we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us but are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: Tell them we want them to trust us as much as we'd like to trust them. If you don't think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lying around—they are bound to read it.

(sth.) doing 有两层含义:一种是“使……处于某种状态或作出某种反应”;另一种是“允许、听任某种事情发生”,这种用法一般用于否定句中。 (4)have sth. to do 意为“有某事要做”,have 意为“有,拥有”。不定式 to do是宾语 sth.的定语,句子的主语是不定式动作的执行者。如果是 to be done做定语时,说明该不定式是由别人发出的。 ①It is rude of you to speak to Father like that and I won't have you speaking to Father like that in future. 那样跟父亲说话很粗鲁,今后我不会再容忍你那样跟父亲说话。 ②He had his audience listening attentively. 他吸引住了听众的注意力。 ③No one can have me leave the office. 没有人能使我离开办公室。 ④She had her bag stolen. 她的包被偷了。 ⑤I have some letters to type. 我有些信要打。(“我”自己动手打) ⑥I have some letters to be typed. 我有几封信需要打。(需要找别人打) [即境活用2] (1)We can't have people ______ late all the time.

A.the one; repaired B.which; it repaired C.the one; it repaired D.which; repaired 解析:第一空填 the one做先行词,其后为省略 which的定语从句,且 which在从句中做 have的宾语,故选A。 答案:A (3)—Mr Smith, do you have something ______ at this moment? —No, thanks. I'll call you if any. A.to be typed B.to type C.typed D.typing 解析:考查 have something to be done结构,因为不定式的主语不是句子主语 you。 答案:A 3.Why_don't_you sit down and try a meal? 你为什么不坐下来吃顿饭呢? Why don't you...?=Why not do...?为什么不……?(表示建议) ①Why don't you have a try once again? =Why not have a try once again? 为什么不再试一下呢? ②Why don't you call him right now? =Why not call him right now? 为什么不立刻给他打个电话? 拓展:向别人提建议也可以用: (1)had better do... 最好做…… (2)Let's do..., shall we? 让我们做……,好吗?

But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels, the fuel created by plant and animal remains over millions of years. Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane (甲烷). It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change. Russia is first in what are called “proved reserves” of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries. But now the industry is taking a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale (页岩) rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale, then go sideways and inject highpressure water, sand or other material into the rock. This causes the rock to fracture,_releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the southcentral states. Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter, a program director, says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves. But hydraulic (液压的) fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption (豁免) from the law. Natural gas provides Americans with about one fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the depression cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the changing market prices will affect the market for gas shale exploration. 1. We can learn from the first paragraph that ______. A. natural gas releases methane and carbon dioxide B. natural gas is considered as the cleanest energy C. natural gas is more environmentally friendly than other fossil fuels D. natural gas is a renewable source of energy 答案及解析: 1.C。从It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.可知 天然气燃烧产生的二氧化碳气体只是燃烧其他矿物燃料的一半,所以是环保的。 2. The word “fracture” in paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. create B. break C. change D. decrease 答案及解析: 2.B。 根据文章第四段内容在进行页岩气开采时,先用钻子钻入岩层再注入高压水、沙子或者其他材料到岩层当中,促使岩层开裂释放气体,所以答案是“break”,有“裂开、破碎”的意思。 3. From the passage, we learn that ______. A. big oil and gas companies only search for gas in their own country B. gas shale exploration will be taken over by big oil and gas companies C. there may be huge fields of gas shale under the Appalachian Mountains D. one fourth of the natural gas in America is coming from gas shale exploration 答案及解析: 3.C。 从第三段Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the southcentral states可以知道C项正确。 4. Gas shale exploration may cause disagreement because ______. A. it may cause water pollution B. it brings too high profits C. it breaks the law D. it is out of states' control 答案及解析: 4.A。从倒数第二段的第一句可以得出答案。 5. According to Eric Potter, the new gas shale exploration ______. A. will provide America with about one fourth of their energy B. will increase demand for energy C. will make gas producers invest a big sum of money D. may be influenced by the changing market prices 答案及解析: 5.D。从文章的最后一句可以得出答案。 B The income gap between China's rural and urban residents(居民) has continued to widen during the past few years in spite of rapidly rising rural incomes, Agricultural Minister Sun Zhengcai said here on Wednesday. The income ratio(比率) between urban and rural residents was 3.28:1 in 2006, against 3.23:1 in 2003, said Sun in his report on the promotion of building a new countryside in 2007. Sun also said the net income of rural residents in different regions also varied widely. The income gap is only one of several problems in rural areas, according to Sun's report. While listing the achievements in rural areas in recent years, Sun believed that rural development still followed behind urban development. “We have bigger pressure to ensure the supply of major agricultural products such as grain,” he said. “China's urbanization(都市化) has been speeded up and more rural residents have gone to urban areas,” he said. “In this case, more agricultural producers become farm produce consumers, which created more pressure for supply,” he said. Another problem facing China's agricultural development is inadequate application of science and technology. “Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production, which is 40 percentage points lower than developed countries,” he said. Despite increased government spending in rural areas, the infrastructure(基础设施) is still poor and easily hit by disasters. According to Sun, the government spent 431.8 billion yuan ($59.15 billion) on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80.1 billion yuan over the previous year. China set aside 11.38 billion yuan to promote a new rural cooperative medical care system and 27.98 billion yuan to support the new compulsory education mechanism in rural area to ensure that all citizens shared the fruits of China's reform and openingup, Sun said. 6.
