（四）學(xué)習(xí)建議：
進(jìn)入高中二年級(jí)的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)后，希望大家不要把精力過多得投入到語(yǔ)法學(xué)習(xí)中。應(yīng)運(yùn)用各種方法掌握好教材中的詞匯，短語(yǔ)。同時(shí)注意多在閱讀上下工夫。擴(kuò)大閱讀量。最重要的是以每個(gè)單元的閱讀材料為依據(jù)，精度課文，了解課文的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)，作者的思想。
學(xué)會(huì)欣賞某些課文中的英語(yǔ)美感。對(duì)于語(yǔ)法知識(shí)，不要扣的太深，太怪。重要的是掌握基本句型結(jié)構(gòu)，達(dá)到理解含有相關(guān)語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的復(fù)雜句子，能夠用所學(xué)的語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)造句。

三. 閱讀理解
A
Everywhere there are plenty of pubs, in which people play darts, talk and drink, usually while standing up. Every pub has its names, its sign and its regulars, its customers who turn up night after night. A few old pubs have real character but many are dull and ugly. It seems that the English think it rather indecent（不象樣的）for people to drink alcoholic drinks in any place where they can be seen from outside. So pubs usually not only have no tables outside, but are so built that it is impossible for people outside to see in, or for those who are inside to see out. There are exceptions to this, but not many. Pubs are meeting places for working men after the evening meal. With pint glasses filled with beer-in Scotland the national drink is whisky –they argue about football, the races, cars…The traditional pub was a place for the men only. But things have changed, and more and more pubs are now places where men and women sit at tables, and they often provide good lunches. Most of them have a public bar, where drinks are slightly cheaper, and a saloon bar, which middle-class people usually prefer because it is more comfortable and less crowded.

“In the old days,” as one wife said. “The husband was the husband and the wife was the wife.” In the past husbands each had their own way of going on. The wives’ jobs were to look after them.
“The wives wouldn’t stand for it nowadays. Husband help with the children now.
