重点解析：

3. 依据问句中的时态排除A项；依据答语中的no排除C项；由于答语中使用了but，选用D项，就会出现结构错误。故选B。2

4. puzzling的意思是“令人迷惑不解的、莫名其妙的”；puzzled 的意思是“感到迷惑的”；badly (adv.)的意思是“迫切地、非常”；bad (adj.)的意思是“坏的、不好的”。

6. break out不可用在被动语态中，故排除A、C项。

7. in place of和instead of意思相同，它们都不能用作谓语，take the place of / take one’s place (代替；取代；顶替)可以作谓语。故选B项。

8. 从句意看，应该选用表示并列的词，故选A项。句意为：我的兴趣包括足球、保龄球和网上冲浪，还有学习喜欢的学科。

9.单从结构上讲，remain后可用现在分词、过去分词或动词不定式作表语，但是seat只能用seated作表语，如：Please be seated.(=Please seat yourself.=Sit down, please)。故选C。

10. 解题时，首先要理清结构。you _____ last week是省略关系代词的定语从句，省略的关系代词在定语从句中作宾语，如果第一个空格中再使用it，就属于宾语重复错误。因此，首先排除A、B项。第二个空格中应该使用表示特指的代词，故选C。

11. 本题依据leave的用法和常识判断答案。

13. 依据倒装语序(couldn’t he work)排除A项；由于使用了couldn’t，就不能再用never或hardly，故选D项。另外not only与后文的but也一致。

高一英语必修二课文翻译

高一英语必修二课文翻译 Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band? Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someones house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may ptey to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires! However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band. As some of these actors could not sing well enough，they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV，the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However。 after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work，the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970，but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996。 并非乐队的乐队

高二英语上学期教学工作计划

高二英语上学期教学工作计划 一、所教班级基本情况 我们升入高二年级分了文理班，我所任教的是高二（3）班和高二（4）班，均为理科班。通过高一阶段的学习，同学们大都掌握了拼读单词，背单词的积极性越来越高，有了一定的阅读量，写作能力逐步提高，但总体来说，学生的基础还是比较差主要表现在没有自主学习的意识，语法内容似懂非懂，听说方面也很薄弱，要提高成绩，还需要我们很大的努力。 二、教学指导思想 认真钻研新课标，树立新观念，探索新教法，在学校教学计划指导下进行工作。在高一已经做了一些尝试的基础上，更加重注发展学生自主学习和合作学习的能力；形成有效的英语学习策略；培养学生的综合运用语言的能力；特别注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。继续拓宽学生的知识面，全面培养听、说、读、写四会能力，理解、分析和阅读的能力，让学生尽量贴近高考。 三、教材分析 按照新课程改革，本学期开设普通高中课程标准实验教科书英语必修(5)和选修（6）。（人教版）共10个单元内容。 具体安排：对于10个单元，每一单元用10课时，课本的学习可以这样进行：上新课8个课时，单元复习检测2个课时。 四、教学内容 本学期主要学习必修五和选修六。要求学生重点掌握每个单元中的黑体词语以及出现的重要句型；语法主要为：过去分词；倒装；省略；虚拟语气。其中过去分词和现在分词的区分使用和倒装的用法是本学期教学的重点也是学生学习的难点 五、主要措施 （一）教学方面： 1、为了使学生打牢基础，提高听说读写的技能。 2、在听力方面，进一步提高学生的听力水平，从高一就开始就对学生进行了听力训练（用的是教材上的听力部分）。本学期订了《当代中学生学习报》，利用上面的听力材料每周专门拿一节课来上听力。除了利用课堂上的时间外，还坚持利用课余时间给学生放带中英文字幕的经典电影，让学生融入一个说英语的英语环境。 3、在词汇方面，单词一直是学记忆生的难点、薄弱点，直接影响学生综合能力的提 高，在教学中要重视词汇教学，狠抓单词的记忆与巩固以及对词汇的意义与用法的掌握。

必修二 Unit1 IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM寻找琥珀厅Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make. 弗雷德里克?威廉?我,普鲁士国王,从未想像过这恩赐与俄罗斯人会令人惊喜的历史。这个礼物,琥珀屋的,赐给这个名字,因为好几吨的琥珀被用来制造它。琥珀被选有一个美丽的黄棕色的颜色就像蜂蜜。房间的设计是别致的流行的日子。这也是一种珍惜用金子来装饰和珠宝,将国家的最好的艺术家们大约10年了。 In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. 事实上,这个房间没有是作为礼物送人的。它是设计出用于弗雷德里克的宫殿。然而,普鲁士的下一任国王弗雷德里克威廉?我、就是琥珀属于,决定不去保持它。在1716他给了彼得最重要的东西。作为回报,沙皇送给他一群他最好的士兵。所以琥珀房成了沙皇的一部分在圣彼得堡冬宫。大约四米长,房间作为一个小接待大厅为重要的游客。 Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.

牛津译林版高中英语必修五Unit 2《The environment》课外阅读练习

江苏省常州市西夏墅中学高中英语 Unit2 The environment课外阅 读练习牛津译林版必修5 阅读下面的短文，问答后面的问题。 Excused f rom recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbis h chute? You won’t be long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too. In Shantzis’s Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-sha ped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal and other rubbish to go i nto separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also coun ts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non-recyclables. Sorting recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables r emain wasted. Shan tzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective. 1. The purpose in writing this text is ______. A. to introduce a recycling system for high rises B. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish C. to describe the use of compu ter technology in recycling D. to explain the n eed for rubbish collection in high rises 2.

A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner building B. rubbish chutes will become out of date before long C. it won’t be long before you have to recycle your rubbish D. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish 3. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ______. A. lock the other floors’ chute doors B. press the correct button C. check if the container is full D. break up the rubbish 4.

必修二 Unit 1 In search of the amber room Frederick William I, the king of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown color like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the c ountry’s best artists about ten years to make. In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Fredrick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Fredrick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four meters long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at a time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery. Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city. 寻找琥珀屋 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋, 它之所以叫这个名字,是因为建造这间房子用了好几吨琥珀,被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽, 呈黄褐色像蜜一样。屋子的设计采用当时流行的奇特风格。琥珀屋也是用金银珠宝装饰的珍品，这花费了全国最优秀的艺术家大约十年的时间才完成。 事实上, 琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。它是为腓烈特一世的宫殿而建造。然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓烈特·威廉一世, 这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不再保留它了。1716年, 他把它送给了彼得大帝。作为回馈, 沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。所以, 琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡东宫的一部分。琥珀屋长约4米, 被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。 后来、叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。她让艺术家们给它增添了更多的装饰。1770年,这间琥珀屋按她要求的方式完工了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间,里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。不幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界奇迹之一,可是现在它却消失了。
