【對話】
1．People have been talking of it a lot recently.對這件事最近人們一直談論得很多呢。
注意：talk of, talk about
talk of談到，提到

Half his goods have been stolen.他的一半財產被偷走了。
3．The majority of people in the town want to ...鎮(zhèn)上大多數(shù)人贊成……
majority“大多數(shù)，大部分”。與of連用，主要指人，謂語動詞用復數(shù)。單獨使用時，后面的謂語動詞用單數(shù)或復數(shù)均可。

5．What do you think is likely to happen?你認為可能會發(fā)生什么事?
這是一個特殊的復雜疑問句，結構是：特殊疑問詞+一般疑問句的插入語+陳述句。使用該句型應注意下面幾個問題：
(1)位于句首的特殊疑問詞如果不是該句的主語，一定要注意該句的語序。請觀察下面例句。
Where do you think they should go?你認為他們該去哪兒?(Where不是該句主語)
Who do you believe／consider／suppose is right?你認為誰對?(Who是該句主語)

Where do you suggest we spend our holiday?.你建議我們去哪里度假?
6．It's quite likely that a decision will be made before the end of the year.很有可能在年底之前就會做出決定。
It's likely that...
(1)這是一種表示“有可能”的句型，相當于It's probable that(從句)的句型，其前的quite起強調作用，增大其中的可能性，表示相當有可能；也可用highly修飾，表示極有可能。例如，
It's highly(quite) likely that her birthday party will be held on September 19th.她的生日晚會很有可能在9月19日舉行。
(2)類似的句型還有It's possible that(從句)

典型例題
【基礎題】
★例1We have worked out the plan and we must put it into
A．fact B．reality C．practice D．deed
導析：該題考查了常見的基本搭配“put sth.into practice(付諸實踐)”。
答案：C
★例2They have no idea at all_________.
A．where he has gone B．where did he go
C．which place has he gone D．where has he gone
導析：從句前沒有表示地點的名詞，可判斷為同位語從句。同位語從句的語序為陳述句語序。答案：A
【易錯題】
★★★例
--We haven't heard from Jane for a long time.
--What do you suppose _________to her?
A．was happening B．to happen
C．has happened D．having happened
導析：“do you suppose”為插入語，這種問句中的插入語，一般不用逗號分開。跳過插入語do you suppose清晰可見答案在A、C中，what是句子的主語，目的在于選擇謂語動詞。上句的現(xiàn)在完成時語境，提供了C項正確的依據(jù)。答案：C
【創(chuàng)新題】
★★例1There is a popular belief among parents _______schools don't pay any attention to handwriting.
A．whose B．that C．which D．in which
導析：該題貌似定語從句，考生可能誤將parents作先行詞而選A。其實，這是同位語從句，among parents將從句與中心詞belief隔開了。答案：B
★★★例2It's possible for her to live there, but___________.
A．she is not probable B．she is not possible
C．not possible D．not probable
導析：此題考possible與probable的差異，probable的可能性比possible 的可能性大， A、B沒有注意平行結構。答案：D
【高考題】
★★★例1(1998年，全國)
--Hi, Traly, you Look tired.
--I am tired. I______ the living room all day.
A．painted B．had painted
C．have been painting D．have painted
導析：由對話甲方所用時態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時，即表示“現(xiàn)在很累”，可以看出乙方由于“整天都在油漆客廳”而感到很累，只有C項用現(xiàn)在完成進行時態(tài)表示才為正確。答案：C
★★★例2(1995年，全國)He gained his ______by printing ________of famous writers.
A．wealth; work B．wealths; works
C．wealths; work D．wealth; works
導析：本題要求區(qū)分wealth和work是可數(shù)還是不可數(shù)。wealth表“財富”不可數(shù)，work表“作品”是可數(shù)，通常是復數(shù)。答案：D
【閱讀分析點撥】
Treasure hunts(尋寶) have excited people's imagination for years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(線索) found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he sound it by logic(邏輯), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry vial’s six wives. Even here, however, Williams bad succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kim Bolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and though that Williams bad buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Amp hill , in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Amp hill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth ￡ 3000 in the be ginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
1. The underlined word “them”(paragraph 1) refers to .
A. red herrings B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VⅢ's six wives D. readers of Masquerade
答案：D
提示：to mislead them“誤導他的”，“他們”指想找到寶物的讀者。
2. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare ?
A. Two stone crosses in Amp hill. B. Stevenson's Treasure Island.
C. Katherine of Aragon. D. William's hometown.
答案：C
提示：第二段第四行至第八行說到重要線索與Katherine有關。
3. The stone crosses in Amp hill were built .
A. to tell about what happened in 1773
B. to show respect for Henry VⅢ's first wife
C. to serve as a road sign in Amp hill Park
D. to inform people where the gold hare was
答案：B
提示：石頭十字架為誰而建?第二段最后一行in her honor即可看出。
4. Which of the following describes Roberts' logic in searching for the hare?
a. Henry Vial’s six wives
b. Katherine's burial place at Kim Bolton
c. Williams' childhood in Amp hill
d. Katherine of Aragon
e. stone crosses in Amp hill Park
A. a-b-c-e-d B. d-b-c-e-a
C. a-d-b-c-e D. b-a-e-c-d
答案：C
提示：考查對各個細節(jié)的理解。理解對了，排序則沒問題。也可從文中看出“e”為最后一 細節(jié)。
5. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. An exciting historical event. B. A modern treasure hunt.
C. The attraction of Masquerade. D. The importance of logical thinking.
答案：B
提示：這是考查概括中心。D答案不妥，邏輯思維的重要性與本文具體內容無明顯聯(lián)系。
【課本難題解答】
Lesson 65
2. 1)of/about; of 2)to 3)of 4)in; of; out of 5)for 6)of; in
3. 1)will 2)may 3)possible 4)possibly 5)impossible 6)likely
說明：第1小題中的時間狀語in the next few years(在隨后幾年里)是表示將來的時間，所以will+動詞improve的被動式be improved構成一般將來時的被動句。第3、4、5小題中的it's possible/impossible/likely. . . 是常用句式。第4小題中的possibly作副詞修飾動詞force。
Lesson 66
1. 1)D 2)B 3)A 4)A 5)B
2. 1)central 2)throughout 3)goes off
4)voice 5)convenient 6)transport

2)that your book will be published
3)that the transport of goods costs too much
4)that the students should learn some practical knowledge
5)that the plane would take off on time
6)will come true one day
說明：名詞idea, doubt, fact, suggestion, news, dream后都接有同位語從句。連詞that不能省。同位語從句的時態(tài)應與主句時態(tài)一致。
