知识梳理
1.It seems to be an
interesting book.它似乎是一本有意思的书。
seem是一个连系动词，意思是“似乎，好像”。它有三种固定搭配：seem＋形容词；seem＋动词不定式；It
seems(seemed) that＋从句，可台构成宾语从句。如：
He seemed tired after a long
walk.走了很长的路之后他似乎很累。
From the childs words she
seems to be a scientist like Bill Gates.
从这个小孩的话语看她似乎想当一个像Bill Gates那样的科学家。
It seems that he is telling
a lie.他似乎正在撒谎。
2.Bill Gates was born on
October 28,1955.
比尔·盖茨出生于1955年10月28日。
“be
born”表达“出生”，通常用一般过去时态，表达“生于某年某月或某地”时用介词in，而表达“生于某日”时用介词on。如：
I was born in 1949 in
Shanghai.
我于1949年生于上海。
3.He and some of his friends
spent lots of time doing unusual things with it.
他和一些朋友花了很多时间，用它做了些不寻常的事。
spend动词，意思是“花费”，“度过”，后面跟in doing sth，in时常省略不写，或on sth．例如：
She spent an hour(in)doing
her homework last night．
＝She
spent an hour on her homework last night．
昨天晚上，她花了一个小时做作业。
She spent fifty dollars on
that coat．
她花了五十美元买那件大衣。
在英语中，除了spend表示花费外，还有take，pay，cost等词也解释“花费”。在使用时要注意它们之间的区别：
(1)take表示花费时间，用it作主语，常用于句型It takes sombody some time to
do sth．例如：
It takes me ten minutes to
go to school by bike．
我骑车上学要花费十分钟。
It took him half an hour to
do the maths problem last night．
昨天晚上，他花了半个小时做那道数学题。
(2)pay表示花费的钱，常用于词组pay for。例如：
Youll have to pay for the
book if you have lost it.
如果你丢了那本书，你就得赔。
She paid ten dollars for the
book．他花十美元买了那本书。
(3)cost表示花费的钱，但要注意，只能把所买的东西用作主语。例如：
The coat cost her fifty
dollars．那件大衣花了她五十美元。
How much did it cost you?你花了多少钱?
4. Some of my classmates are
interested in Bill Gates.
我的一些同学对比尔·盖茨感兴感。
sb. be interested in sth.意思是“某人对某物感兴趣”，sth. be interesting为“某事物很有趣”。如：
They are interested in the
interesting games.
他们对这些有趣的游戏感兴趣。
5.In the end，they worked out a software programme with the old machine.
最后，他们靠那台旧机器编出一套软件程序。
(1)in the end意为“最后，终于”，相当于at last，finally。
at the end of…在…尽头，末尾，例如：
At the end of this street,
youll find the post office.
在街道尽头，你会找到这个邮局。
(2)work out意思是“制订出，想出”。例如：
I cant work out the problem．Its too hard．
我解不出这道题，太难了。
Yon must carefully work out
a plan．
你们得仔细地制订出一个计划。
6. ...,and it kills millions
of people every year. …它每年能使数以百万的人死亡。
在英语中，百、干、万前用了具体的数词或不定量词(如some等)来修饰以后，百、千、万不能用复数形式，只能用单数。但是，百、千、万前没有修饰词时，可以用复数形式，后加of再跟名词的复数形式，其中many thousands of是个特殊情况。例如：
There are more than two
thousand students in our school．
我们学校有两千多个学生。
There are millions of stars
in the sky．
天空中有千千万万颗星星。
Many thousands of visitors
have visited the Great Wall．
成千上万的人已参观过长城了。
7. Im not sure, either.
我也不能肯定。
请注意比较either, too, also在用法上的不同。
(1)位置上的不同：either, too一般放在句末，而also常放在句中。
(2)also, too不能用于否定句中，而either要用于否定句中。
如：You
are a student. I am too.
你是学生，我也是。
8. He liked to tell funny
stories to make people laugh.
译文为：他喜欢讲好笑的故事逗人发笑。
1) tell stories/a story 是固定用法，其中动词tell意思是“说”，不能用talk进行替换。tell还经常用于下列句型中：
tell the truth,“说实话”，多用于句首。
To tell the truth, I fall
asleep in the middle.
老实说，我在中间睡着了。
也可用在句中，如：
Dont believe him. Hes not
telling the truth at all.
别信他，他根本就是在撒谎。
Tell me another! 我不信！
tell还有一个常用词义，即“判断，辨别，区别”。如：
tell A from B 区分A和B
tell the difference between
A and B 区分A和B之间的不同之处。
Can you tell Tom from his
twin brother?
你能分辨出汤姆和他的孪生兄弟吗？
These kittens look exactly
alike . How can you tell which is which?
这些小猫看上去一模一样，你怎么能分出哪个是哪个？
2)make sb. do sth.是“使得某人做某事”的意思，如：
The boss made them work all
night.老板让他们通宵劳动。
The pain made the girl cry. 疼痛使得这个女孩哭了。
9. Jim, do you know when
Fathers Day is?
吉姆，你知道父亲节是什么时候吗？
表示节日的名词应该复数，并且所有格的形式，以表示这些人的节日。
例如：
Teachers Day教师节
Childrens Day儿童节
Womens Day妇女节
②父亲节，母亲节较特殊，应用单数形式。
表示节目的专有名词前不带冠词
例如：
National Day 国庆节 Army Day建军节
New years
Day 元旦
自我检测

Ⅶ.阅读理解
(A)
What is the sky? Where is
it? How high is it? What lies above it? These questions are difficult to
answer, arent they?
Is the sky blue? The sky has
no colour. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they
need air to lift their wings. Planes cannot fly very high because when they go higher,
the air gets thinner. If we go up about
1,200 kilometres from the earth, we find there is no air.
Perhaps we can answer some
of our questions now. The sky is space. In
this space there is only the sun, the moon and all the stars.

afraid if the planes fly too high

4. If we go up about 1,200
kilometres from the earth, we find .
A. there is more
air

C. there is nothing
but air

When the Americans

them on TV in the bar of a hotel.

moon. Its a long way from our
world.”
“Oh,
thats nothing,” the Irishman answered quickly.“The Irish are going to
send .some men to the sun in a few months time. Thats much farther away than the moon,
