Recently, a survey of homework preference has been conducted among Senior Three students. The results are as follows.
More than half of the students, 54%, usually put their maths homework in the first place while only 7% would rank Chinese as the most important. Meanwhile, English is regarded as the most significant by 18% of the participants, and the other subjects attract the attention of 21% of the students.
There is a profound difference between maths and Chinese. Without doubt, some students hold the view that maths is the most interesting and challenging, and that it seems easier for them to have a sense of achievement in it. However, each subject has its unique charm and they are of the same value. Therefore, I think we should take every subject seriously and improve our study in a balanced way.Period Six　　Writing Workshop & Reading Club

Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Isatou Ceesay受到自己生活环境的启发,组织One Plastic Bag活动,号召社区居民处理并回收利用塑料袋,这既能帮助当地人增加收入,同时对环境也有益。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段的“At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.”可知,Ceesay年轻时生活在一个被塑料垃圾严重污染的环境中。故选D。
2.C　推理判断题。根据第三段的“Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia.”可推知,Ceesay的回收运动既能帮助当地人增加收入,同时对环境也有益。故选C。
3.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.”可知,雨季时收集垃圾的工作变得困难了。由此猜测画线词意为“困难的”,与challenging意思相近。故选A。
4.D　推理判断题。根据第四段的“Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbour’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”可推知,Ceesay认为处理塑料垃圾是社区居民共同的责任。故选D。
Ⅵ.One possible version:
Dear friends,
In order to raise students’ awareness of protecting the environment, I’m writing to call on everyone to take part in “Building a greener campus”.
As we all know, climate change and pollution have seriously affected our life. Therefore, everyone of us should take the responsibility of protecting the environment. To start with, saving energy is protecting the environment. Turning off taps and lights immediately is the first step. What’s more, waste sorting is of great significance to protecting the environment. Last but not least, the key to protecting the environment is to plant trees. This is because trees can absorb carbon dioxide, helping reduce the greenhouse effect.
Only by protecting the environment in our daily life, will our planet have a bright future.

Ⅶ.【思路点拨】 本文以Rhenan清理阿拉瓜亚河为线索展开。文章讲述了Rhenan每天沿着河边散步,他发现河里到处都是垃圾。他告诉了老师河流的污染情况,他不禁思考河里充满垃圾的危害。后来,他和母亲谈论了清理河里垃圾的计划。在母亲的支持下,Rhenan拜访了办公室、企业和其他学校。很快,他就有了一大群喜欢他的想法的人!他们开始清理河流中的垃圾。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一整天,他们都在一起清理垃圾。”可知,第一段可描写他们清理河流中的垃圾的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“在一天结束的时候,每个人都开始欢呼。”可知,第二段可描写他们清理完垃圾之后的庆祝。
2. 续写线索:
清理垃圾—完成垃圾清理—庆祝清理活动完成—对河流的变化感到自豪—小镇计划宣传垃圾危害—计划在河流沿岸种树
One possible version:
Over the whole day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish. They managed to pick up the plastic bottles, old clothing and food packages in the river and pulled them out of the water. As they worked (时间状语从句), Rhenan noticed how everyone was laughing and smiling (宾语从句). Obviously, they were happy to do this. It did make them feel good to help their community. They were really productive, and when they were done, they picked up almost a tonne of rubbish—that was the same weight as a car! It was really surprising.
At the end of the day, everyone started to cheer. They were proud of the change that they had made (定语从句)—the river rushes along beside them, clean and clear. Looking at the river (现在分词短语作状语), they thanked Rhenan. Rhenan felt like he was on top of the world. To stop problems like this from happening again (不定式短语作目的状语), the town decided to teach everyone why throwing rubbish in the river was harmful. They also planned to help the river by planting more trees along the riverbanks for birds to live in.Period Six　　Writing Workshop & Reading Club

分数与百分数
句型公式　
【句式点拨】
(1)这是一个并列句,由and连接的两个并列分句组成。句中使用了百分数90%、70%和分数two thirds。
(2)分数在英语中通常是借助于基数词和序数词来共同表达的,其中基数词表示分子,序数词表示分母。分子和分母之间可以用连字符连接,也可以不用连字符。如果分子大于1,分母要用复数形式。如:
one third=one-third=a third三分之一
two thirds=two-thirds三分之二
one eightieth=one-eightieth 八十分之一
[温馨提示] 二分之一:a/one half;四分之一和四分之三可以说成one fourth/a fourth和three fourths,但常用a quarter和three quarters表示。
(3)分数也可以借助于介词in或out of来表示。如:“五分之三的美国人”可以表达为“three in five Americans”或“three out of five Americans”。
(4)当“分数/百分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词要和of 之后的名词单复数保持一致。如:
About 80% of the water in the lake has been polluted.
湖水差不多八成已经受到污染。
More than ten percent of the workers are from the countryside.
超过10%的工人来自农村。
【活学活用】

如图表所示,百分之四十的学生在学业任务中感到有压力。(应用文写作之图表说明文)
2.(教材P40) To sum up, it seems that almost all who took part understood the need to help take care of the environment.总而言之,几乎所有的参与者似乎都明白有必要帮助保护环境。
It seems that…
句型公式　
【句式点拨】
这是一个主从复合句,该句使用了“It seems+that从句.”句型,seems是连系动词,作谓语,that引导表语从句。如:
It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park.
似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
【归纳拓展】
(1)在it seems后除了可接that从句外,也可接as if引导的从句,从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气。如:
It seems as if everybody knew it except me.
好像除我之外其他人都知道了。
(2)seem还常与like搭配, 构成seem like短语,其中like通常为介词,其后接名词或代词作宾语。如:
It seems like yesterday.
就像昨天一样。
It seems like the answer to my problem.
它似乎是我的问题的答案。
(3)seem也常用于“There+seem to be+名词.”句型,其中to be可省略。seem的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。如:
There doesn’t seem to be much hope of our beating that team.
我们战胜那个队似乎没有多大希望。
(4)“It seems+that从句.”句型常可与“主语+seem+不定式.”句型互换。如:
Tom seems to be a very clever boy.=It seems that Tom is a very clever boy.
汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。
【活学活用】

●Ⅴ 阅读理解
Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in Gambia, Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She carried some goods with many girls like her to sell in the market to raise herself. At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in Gambia. She educated women in Gambia to recycle plastic waste into income for themselves. In the beginning, the movement had a mission to educate their village colleagues about the need to reuse garbage and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the garbage increase behind their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. But the work of collecting trash turned to be taxing. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their garbage behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects again knock on your door very quickly—dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbour’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For 17 years, Ceesay has contributed to one of the most important problems about the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington DC, the United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to join or become makers of change in their own communities.
(　)1.What can be learned about young Ceesay from Paragraph 1
A.She gave up the chance of going to school.
B.She had many friends good at doing business.
C.She sold strong and light plastic bags to support herself.
D.She lived in an environment heavily polluted by plastic waste.
(　)2.What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement
A.It aimed to make full use of natural resources to get rich.
B.It was hard to carry on because of the shortage of workers.
C.It benefited both people’s economic situation and the environment.
D.It taught the villagers to replace plastic bags with handmade ones.
(　)3.What does the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Challenging.　　　　B.Pleasant.
C.Dangerous. D.Successful.
(　)4.What does Ceesay mainly intend to say in Paragraph 4
A.Bad habits are hard to remove once formed.
B.Garbage problems contribute greatly to climate change.
C.Valuing the relationship between neighbours is important.
D.Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility in communities.

●Ⅶ 读后续写
The Araguaia River is one of the biggest rivers in Brazil. It is home to thousands of animals. River dolphins swim and play in the water, and there are many different coloured fish.
In one town, a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan walks along the river every day. But looking at the river makes him worry because there is rubbish everywhere. He sees plastic bottles, old clothing and empty food packages. The water looks dark and ugly.
One day Rhenan asked about the dirty river at school. “You wouldn’t want rubbish in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It doesn’t seem right to him that this big and powerful river is filled with rubbish. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.” Then Rhenan had an idea.
The next morning, Rhenan talked to his mother about his plan for the river. He wanted to go around his town and ask for everyone’s help. Maybe if they all worked together, they could clean up the river!
Rhenan’s mother loved his idea. “I believe the most important thing for you, Rhenan, is learning how to change things that you care about. That will stay with you forever,” she said. She told him she would help him along the way.
The next day, Rhenan went to the police department and next to the office of Mayor (市长). He visited offices, businesses and other schools. Soon he had a very big group of people who like his idea! They all decided to meet at the river the following week. On the day of the river clean-up, Rhenan was excited—but he was also nervous. What if no one showed up But when he and his mother arrived, there were almost a hundred people there, including many of Rhenan’s friends.
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Over the whole day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish.



Paragraph 2:
At the end of the day, everyone started to cheer.

句型公式
分数与百分数
【句式点拨】
(1)这是一个并列句,由and连接的两个并列分句组成。句中使用了百
分数90%、70%和分数two thirds。
(2)分数在英语中通常是借助于基数词和序数词来共同表达的,其中基
数词表示分子,序数词表示分母。分子和分母之间可以用连字符连接,
也可以不用连字符。如果分子大于1,分母要用复数形式。如:
one third=one-third=a third三分之一
two thirds=two-thirds三分之二
one eightieth=one-eightieth 八十分之一
［温馨提示］二分之一:a/one half;四分之一和四分之三可以说成one
fourth/a fourth和three fourths,但常用a quarter和three quarters表示。
(3)分数也可以借助于介词in或out of来表示。如:“五分之三的美国人”
可以表达为“three in five Americans”或“three out of five
Americans”。
(4)当“分数/百分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词要和of 之后的名词
单复数保持一致。如:
About 80% of the water in the lake has been polluted.
湖水差不多八成已经受到污染。
More than ten percent of the workers are from the countryside.
超过10%的工人来自农村。

2.(教材P40) To sum up, it seems that almost all who took
part understood the need to help take care of the
environment.总而言之,几乎所有的参与者似乎都明白有必要帮助保
护环境。
句型公式
It seems that…
【句式点拨】
这是一个主从复合句,该句使用了“It seems+that从句.”句型,seems是
连系动词,作谓语,that引导表语从句。如:
It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park.
似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
【归纳拓展】
(1)在it seems后除了可接that从句外,也可接as if引导的从句,从句的
谓语动词常用虚拟语气。如:
It seems as if everybody knew it except me.
好像除我之外其他人都知道了。
(2)seem还常与like搭配, 构成seem like短语,其中like通常为介词,其后
接名词或代词作宾语。如:
It seems like yesterday.
就像昨天一样。
It seems like the answer to my problem.
它似乎是我的问题的答案。
(3)seem也常用于“There+seem to be+名词.”句型,其中to be可省略。
seem的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。如:
There doesn't seem to be much hope of our beating that
team.
我们战胜那个队似乎没有多大希望。
(4)“It seems+that从句.”句型常可与“主语+seem+不定式.”句型互换。
如:
Tom seems to be a very clever boy.=It seems that Tom is a
very clever boy.
汤姆看上去是一个非常聪明的男孩。

One possible version:
Recently, a survey of homework preference has been
conducted among Senior Three students. The results are as
follows.
More than half of the students, 54%, usually put their maths
homework in the first place while only 7% would rank Chinese
as the most important. Meanwhile, English is regarded as the
most significant by 18% of the participants, and the other
subjects attract the attention of 21% of the students.
There is a profound difference between maths and Chinese.
Without doubt, some students hold the view that maths is the
most interesting and challenging, and that it seems easier for
them to have a sense of achievement in it. However, each
subject has its unique charm and they are of the same value.
Therefore, I think we should take every subject seriously and
improve our study in a balanced way.
