核心语法精练
Make up
make up作动词短语，是一个多义短语，具有不同的意思，取决于具体语境。
Eg: After their argument, they decided to make up and move on.争吵之后，他们决定和解并继续前行。指重新恢复关系，尤其是当发生争执或不愉快时。

练习
1.It took her an hour before meeting him this morning.(化妆)
2.Nobody likes her because she always lies.(编造)
主将从现2
1．时间/条件状语从句的位置
在时间/条件状语从句中，从句位置比较灵活，可放在主句前面也可放在主句后面。若放在主句前，从句后面要用逗号和主句隔开。
Eg:If he doesn't feel tired，he will visit the museum.＝He will visit the museum if he doesn't feel tired.
如果他不感觉累，他就去参观博物馆。
When I get there tomorrow，I will call you.=__________________________________
2．时态搭配
(1)当 ，时间/条件状语 。------------主将从现
Eg:If it rains tomorrow，I won't climb the hills.如果明天下雨，我就不爬山。
(2)当主句中含有can，may，must。should等情态动词时，时间/条件状语从句要用 。
Eg:We can win the basketball game if he joins us.如果他加入我们，我们就能赢这场篮球赛。
You should drink water before you start the long run.（长跑开始前，你应该喝水）
He must finish the report as soon as he gets to the office.（他一到办公室就必须完成报告）
当主句是祈使句时，时间/条件状语从句要用 。
Eg:Help your mom with the housework if you finish your homework early.如果你完成作业早，就帮你妈妈做家务。
Wait here until the bus arrives.（在这里等，直到公交车来）
Tell her the truth when she comes back.（她回来的时候，把真相告诉她）
3．与其他句式之间的转换
含if引导的条件状语从句的复合句可与其他句型进行转换。
(1)与“祈使句+and/or+陈述句”进行互换。and表示 ，or表示“ ”。
Eg:If you get up early，you'll get there on time.
＝ Get up early，and you'll get there on time.
＝Get up early，or you won't get there on time.早点起床，你就会准时到那里。
(2)借助介词without或with来转换条件状语从句。
Eg:If there is no water，fish will die.
＝Fish will die without water.如果没有水，鱼就会死。
Eg:If you help me，I'll finish the work soon.
＝With your help，I'll finish the work soon.如果你帮助我，我就会快点完成工作。
(3)if … not引导的条件状语从句，可以借助连词unless来改写。
Eg:You will be late if you don't go there by bus.＝You will be late unless you go there by bus.如果你不乘公共汽车你就会迟到。
注意： unless引导条件状语从句，表示“除非、如果不”，相当于if not。
如果主句为一般将来时、主句为祈使句或者含有情态动词时，unless引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表示将来。
Eg:Unless your work hard, you won't get good grades.除非你努力，否则将不能取得好成绩。
Eg:You will miss the early bus unless you hurry up.你将错过早班车，除非你快点。

On Saturday morning, all the summer world was sweet and fresh. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step, except Tom Sawyer.
Aunt Polly made him paint their fence (栅栏) as a punishment. It was 90 feet long and 9 feet high. He stared at the fence, and all gladness left him. He painted one board and stopped. “This will take forever,” he sighed (叹气).
He knew the boys with all kinds of toys would soon come along and make fun of him —the very thought of it burnt him like fire. At this dark and hopeless moment, an idea came to him! He went back to work quietly.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying a big apple.
Tom went on painting—paid no attention to him. Ben stared a moment and called Tom.
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep. Ben called him again.
“Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.” Tom turned suddenly and said.
“I’m going to swim,” said Ben. “Do you want to come Oh, you have to work, don’t you What a pity!”
“I’m not working.” Tom answered carelessly. “Well, maybe it is working, but I like it.”
“What ” shouted Ben. “You like it ”
“Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” Tom kept painting, and said. “Boys don’t get to paint a fence every day.”
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped eating his apple and watched Tom for a while. Tom swept his brush gently back and forth. The fence looked clean and white. Before long. Ben really wanted to paint, too! “Let me try a little,” he begged (乞求) Tom.
Tom considered, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt Polly warned me to do it well. Only one boy in a thousand has the talent to paint.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be very careful. I’ll give you half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of it.”
Tom gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. Tom rested under the tree. He ate the apple and smiled.

How do you sleep On your back On your side How about standing up Unless you’re a giraffe, no one will choose the last one. But a company (公司) has made Giraffenap to help sleepy workers take a quick rest when he feels tired or sleepy at work.
Giraffenap is a standing sleeping box. As the name shows, the company got the idea from giraffes, the long-necked animals. Giraffes usually sleep in short naps, and they sleep while standing up. Giraffenap helps people sleep while they’re standing just like giraffes do. It’s about the size of a small phone box. And in it, you can’t hear the noise outside at all.
But why does it have to be standing Well, some studies show that sleeping while standing makes people breathe (呼吸) easily.
So when they wake up, they can feel the result of a nap without having to sleep too much. In just 20 minutes, they will be fresh. And they can quickly return to work without feeling sleepy. Also, making the box stand means that it takes up half of the floor space.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—will a person just fall down if he tries to sleep while standing Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support (支持) the body—head, legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while standing.
Giraffenap was on sale last year. I hope you’ll try sleeping in it—just like giraffes do.
21. Where can we most probably see Giraffenap
A. In a zoo. B. In an office. C. At home. D. In a hospital.
22. They make the box stand because it can ________.
①stop noise getting in ②save much floor space
③ support the body better ④let people breathe easily
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ②④ D. ③④
23.What does the underlined word “fresh” mean in Chinese
A. 新鲜的 B. 凉爽的 C. 昏昏欲睡的 D. 充满活力的
24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned (提及) about Giraffenap in the passage
A. Its size. B. Its selling time. C. Its price. D. Its use of space.
25. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To introduce a new standing sleeping box.

As is well known, saying“no”is difficult. But sometimes we have to learn to say “no”. To learn to say“no”, we have to first understand what’s stopping us about it. Here are some common reasons why people find it hard to say“no”.
You may be afraid of being impolite. I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”, especially to people who are older, is impolite. This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face-saving is important. It means not making others look bad or lose faces.
You want to help others. You are a kind soul(灵魂) at heart. You don’t want to turn the person away and you want to offer help when possible, even if it may take up your time.
You want to be agreeable. At times, you find you are not in agreement. You don’t want to keep yourself away from the group, so you agree to do others’ requests(请求).
You fear of conflict(冲突). (C)The person might be angry if you refuse him. This might lead to an ugly conflict. Even if there isn’t, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects(影响) in the future.
You fear of losing opportunities(机会). Sometimes, always saying“no”means that you close the doors of communication and you may lose some opportunities this way. This idea may make you feel worried. For example, one of my friends was asked to work in another department(部门) in her company(公司). Since she liked her team, she didn’t want to go. However, she didn’t want to say“no” as she felt it would affect her promotion(晋升) opportunities in the future.
41.从文中找到与She didn’t feel like going because she loved her team.意思相近的句子。(2分)
42.Fill in the blanks according to the text. （每空填1个单词，共4分）
It is well known that saying“no”is not ①__________at all. But sometimes we have to say“no”. First, we have to understand what’s stopping us ②_________ saying“no”. Saying“no”to old people seems to be ③___________ in Asian culture. What’s more, some opportunities may be ④_________ if you always say“no”.
43.Translate the underlined sentence (C) into Chinese.

45.The title of the passage is　 　
B
Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom Or in a waiting room full of strangers Or on a bus Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.
When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知), which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live an exciting life.
