I. Grammar （ 重点语法回顾 ）
<一>The Present Perfect Tense
1）用法：
**现在完成时表示到现在为止刚刚完成的动作或状态，中文常译为“…了”，“…完”
I have just finished my homework.（我刚做完作业。）
**表示过去继续到现在的动作或状态
He has lived here for ten years.（他住在这儿十年了。）
**表示到现在为止的一种经验，常译为“…过”
I have never been to Hong Kong.
2）结构：由have/ has + 过去分词构成
（不规则动词的过去分词须牢记）
3）常见的标志词：
already, yet, ever, never, just, before…
for+段时间, since+点时间, since+句子（常用过去时）
4）区分现在完成时和一般过去时
一般过去时 现在完成时
只指过去某个时间曾做过或发生的动作，状态，与现在无关。
She saw the film last month.
她上个月看了这部电影。 动作发生在过去，或动作从过去开始，但强调与现在的关系，对现在造成的影响。
I have seen the film.
我看过这部电影。
与一般过去时连用的时间状语
…ago, last week, just now,
yesterday, a moment ago… 与现在完成时连用的时间状语
just, before, already, yet, so far,
till now, these days…
5）难点
***正确区分 have been to/ have gone to
I have been to Shanghai. It’s a beautiful city.
Where is Jack? He has gone to the library.
have/has been to+地点 表示某人曾经去过某地，表示一种经历
have/has gone to+地点 表示某人说话时已离开此地，在去某地的路上或已去了某地 （一般用于第三人称）
***延续性动词与非延续性动词
1. 现在完成时态既涉及过去，又联系现在，它的第二种用法就是表示过去已经开始，而持续到现在的动作或状态，可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。这段时间从过去某一时刻延续到现在（包括“现在”在内）。由for或since引导的短语表示，如：
He has waited here for half an hour.
She has studied in this school since 1995.
2. 能这样用的动词都是表示延续的情况或动作的动词，如be, have, know, live, work, study, learn, teach, speak, talk, draw, wait, wear, walk, sleep等。这类动词称为“延续性”动词。
The baby has slept for about two hours.
He has been a doctor since ten years ago.
How many years have you lived here?
3. 有些动词的意义决定它们所表示的动作不能延续，只是一瞬间就结束的动作。这类动词叫做“非延续性动词”，常见的有：come, go, arrive, reach, see, hear, close, leave, begin, start, lose, buy, close, fall, join, die, get up…它们可以用于完成时态，说明某个动作的结果还存在，但它们不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。
He has come back. The film has begun.
He has been back for a week. The film has been on for ten minutes.
4. 在否定句中，非延续性动词可和一段时间状语连用。
I haven’t heard from my uncle for a long time.
We haven’t seen him since 1992.
She hasn’t left home all her life.
*** It is/ has been+ 时间 since + 过去时
It’s a week since he came back.
= It has been a week since he came back.
<二>The Object Clause
1. 定义：在复合句中作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。
2. 连接宾语从句的连词有三种：
that;
if/ whether; “是否”
how, when, why, what, who, whom等连接代词或连接副词。
3. 宾语从句的语序为陈述语序。
4. 注意从句和主句的时态一致。
宾语从句是初中阶段一个很重要的语法项目，同时也是一个难点和考点。希望这首记忆口诀能帮助大家巧记宾语从句。
学习宾从三注意，时态、语序和连词。
时态主从要呼应：
主句若为现在时，从句时态随句意；
主句若为过去时，从句时态变过去；
宾从若是表真理，时态不变无质疑。
语序要用陈述序，切莫照搬疑问句。
That连接陈述句，省与不省要注意。
从句若表“是否”时，if/whether要慎记。
特殊问句作宾语，仍用原来疑问词。
三个问题需记牢，切莫丢东忘了西。
II. Typical Problems （ 典题欣赏 ）
1. Mr Li _______ to America 20 years ago and has been there ________.
A. has gone, since then B. went, from then
C. has gone, since ever D. came, ever since
答案为D。20 years ago是一个明确的过去时间的状语，其所在句子的谓语动词应用一般过去时，故排除A和C项。“自那时起”可表示为ever since，应和句中现在完成时连用，B项中from then与现在无关，不能与现在完成时连用。
2. The whole family ______ for you _______ an hour. Be quick!
A. has waited, for B. has waited, since
C. have waited, for D. have waited, since
答案为C。根据句意，family在此指的是“家庭成员”，谓语动词应用复数形式，故排除A和B项。又根据“for+段时间, since+点时间”的用法,可确定为C正确选项。
3. Paul ______ Beijing for 5 years. He has bought a car ________.
A. has come to, yet B. has been in, already
C. has been in, since last year C. came, for a year
答案为B。A和D项中的come为终止性动词，不可与段时间for 5 years连用，故可排除。C项中的since last year表示“自去年以来”这一段时间，不可与原句中的终止性动词buy连用，故可排除。而B项中的“already”，意思为“已经”，在这里强调从过去某一时间到目前为止的状况，应与现在完成时连用，所以答案为 B。
4. Could you tell me ___________?
A. Lily is where B. where Lily is
C. where is Lily D. where Lily was
答案为B。本题考查的是宾语从句的语序问题。宾语从句虽然由疑问词引导，但仍应保持陈述句语序。表示请求时用could you比can you更显得真诚和礼貌。
5. I didn’t know _________.
A. if they would buy a new car B. would they buy a new car
C. if they will buy a new car D. if will they buy a new car
答案为A。主句是过去时，从句也应用相应的过去时态，并且从句部分应为陈述句语序。这两条全符合的只有A选项。

Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus （焦点） of the table. Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you don’t like the food or something like that.
Don’t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess （女主人）know that you’ve just done a labour?
Don’t lean （倚靠） back and say “I’m through” or “I’m full”. Just put the fork and knife across the plate. That’s all.
Don’t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites （块） at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don’t do that. It’s not so good.
It’s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

Coffee has been a part of people’s lives for thousands of years, and today it is still one of the most favourite drinks in the world. Many people in the world begin their busy day by drinking a cup or several cups of coffee. They have always said that a cup of coffee in the morning helps them begin their day in the right way. So they say a cup of coffee is necessary for them in the morning.
Do you know what in the coffee makes our bodies and brains （脑） active? It is caffeine.
Caffeine may increase a person’s mental and physical abilities （精力和体能）. For example, two cups of coffee will make you breathe faster and augment body heat （热量）. All this makes your heart beat faster, and doctors warn that this may be a little dangerous.
Caffeine is found in tea, coffee, chocolate and some other foods. A little caffeine is probably not harmful, but too much caffeine can make people nervous and sleepless.

C
We all enjoy the beautiful show of colours as leaves change each autumn. But did you ever wonder how and why this happens?
Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots （根） and take carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose （葡萄糖）. Glucose is a kind of sugar, which plants use as food for energy （能量） and growing.
The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis （光合作用）.
A chemical called chlorophyll （叶绿素） helps photosynthesis. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories.
As the green chlorophyll disappears （消失） from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves. Small amounts （少量） of these colours have been in the leaves all along. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples （紫色） we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn.
In some trees, like maples （枫树）, glucose is caught in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into a red colour. The brown colour of trees like oaks （橡树） is made from waste left in the leaves.
It is the mixture （混合物） of all these things that makes the beautiful colours we enjoy during autumn.
57. The leaves of the trees in autumn turn yellow because of the short of ____________.
A. water and carbon dioxide B. glucose and energy
C. sunlight and water D. sunlight and carbon dioxide
58. Photosynthesis is a way that ___________________________.
A. plants change water and carbon dioxide into sugar
B. plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar with the help of sunlight
C. plants use glucose as food for energy and growing
D. chlorophyll is a great help
59. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. When autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.
B. During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.
C. During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colours are kept in the leaves all the time.
D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.
60. This passage tells us __________________.
A. all the plants can grow well with the strong sunlight
B. there are all kinds of plants on the earth
C. all the colours of the leaves aren’t made from chlorophyll
D. maples and oaks have the same reason as other trees for the change of colours

IV. 阅读短文，简要回答下列问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
A farm is always a busy place. One of the busiest things is when the farmer is getting land ready to grow plants.
If the farmer is going to grow wheat, he has to turn the ground over first. The farmer drives up and down the paddock on tractor. When the ground is ready, the farmer sows the seeds. He does this with a machine that the tractor pulls along. Now, one farm and one machine can do as much a day as twenty men used to do without a machine. After the wheat has been sown, the farmer keeps a lookout for rain. Wheat needs rain and warm sunny days to make it grow. When the wheat has grown, it turns to a lovely golden colour.
When the wheat is fully grown, you can see the seeds on the wheat plants. These have to be out off and put in bags or big trucks to be taken to a factory where they are made into flour.
It’s a very busy time on farm when the wheat is being cut. Everyone helps so that all the wheat can be taken from the paddocks before the rain comes. If heavy rain falls, the farm must wait for the ground dry out before the machine can cut the wheat. Farmers always have a lot to do through the year.
1. What is the busiest thing?
2. What does the farmer have to do when he is going to grow wheat?
3. Why was much more time spent on sowing in the past?
4. What do farmers not need when they cut wheat?
5. Does everyone help to cut the wheat?

听第三段材料，回答第21-24题。
People are often killed while crossing the road. Most of them are old people and children. Old people are often killed because they usually can’t see or hear very well. Children are often killed because they are careless. People should look and listen before they cross the road. A car, a truck or a bus can’t stop very quickly if it is going very fast. It will travel many metres before it stops. People don’t always know this. They think a car can stop right away. The faster a car is travelling, the longer it takes to stop. It’s difficult for people to know how fast a car is travelling. The only safe way to cross the road is to look at both sides, right and left. The correct way to cross is to walk quickly when the traffic lights turn green. It’s not safe to run.

One possible version:
Many countries have sent up man-made satellites to travel around the earth. And a few countries have sent their astronauts to fly in space. China is one of them. We are proud of our astronauts.
I am a middle school student. I must study hard and keep healthy. I hope I will become an astronaut when I grow up, too. I will go to look for another place for us to live on. Though it is hard, I will try my best.
