星期一简过得愉快吗？星期二怎么样？

星期一，七月十五日

今天早上我和我的全家来到了马来西亚的槟城。天气晴朗炎热，所以我们决定到我们旅馆附近的海滩去。我和姐姐尝试着做滑翔伞运动。我感觉自己像是一只鸟。太令人兴奋了！午饭，我们吃了十分特殊的马来西亚的黄色面条。它们味道鲜美！在下午，我们骑自行车去了乔治敦。那里现在有许多新房子，但是许多旧的建筑仍然存在。在焊接码头——乔治敦的一个真正的老地方，我们看到了一百年前中国商人建造的房子。我很想知道过去这儿的生活是什么样的。我真的很喜欢走在这样的城镇里。

星期二，七月十六日

一天的差别有多大！今天我和父亲打算去槟城山。我们想步行去山顶，但是那时天开始下雨，因此我们决定乘火车去。因为人太多，所以我们等了一个多小时的火车。当我们到达山顶的时候，雨下得真的大了。由于我们没带雨伞，我们淋得又冷又湿。太糟糕了！因为这糟糕的天气，我们看不到下面的任何景色。我爸爸没有带足够的钱，所以我们只吃了一碗鱼肉米饭。我非常饿。但是吃起来很好吃！

1．What activities do you find enjoyable？你发现什么活动令人愉快？

Do you like the actors or actresses in the movie? 你喜欢这部电影中的男演员还是女演员？

【例题】Are you free？Let's do some ______ with Tom. A．activity B．actors C．actresses D．activities

点拨：some后接名词复数形式，排除A项。B、C两项分别意为“男(女)演员”，在句中不合题意。句意为“你有空吗？我们和汤姆一起做活动吧”。

答案：D

2.It was sunny and hot，so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.天气晴朗炎热，所以我们决定到我们旅馆附近的海滩去。

本句是由so连接的并列句。

decide v. 决定；选定，后跟动词不定式或从句作宾语。

He decided that he would start out at 6：00 that morning. 他决定那天早晨六点出发。

decide on选定；决定，后常跟名词、代词、动词-ing形式作宾语。

She decided on the city. 她选定了那座城市。 decision 决定，decide的名词形式，可构成make a decision决定；下决心，相当于decide。 She decided/made a decision to get good grades. 她决定取得好成绩。

【例1】 Mary decided ______ pop music the next day. A．to listen B．listen to C．to listen to D．listening to

点拨：decide后接动词不定式，排除B、D两项；listen是不及物动词，后接宾语时要先加介词to，故选C项。句意为“玛丽决定明天去听流行音乐”。

答案：C 【例2】 Bill thought about a few countries for vacation and at last he decided ______ Japan. A．at B．for C．on D．of 点拨：句意为“比尔考虑了好几个国家去度假，最后选定在日本”。decide on 意为“选定；决定”。

答案：C ②

3．My sister and I tried paragliding.我和姐姐尝试着做滑翔伞运动。 try v．& n. 尝试；设法；努力

try to do sth.尽量/努力做某事 I try to finish the work on time. 我尽量按时完成这份工作。 try doing sth.试着做某事

May I have a try? 我可以试试吗？

【例1】 She's trying ______ an elephant there. A．draw B．to draw C．to drawing D．draws

点拨：try后面接动词时，一般接动词不定式或动词-ing形式，而A、C、D三项均不符

合这一条件，故都排除。句意为“她在那儿正努力画一头大象”。

答案：B

【例2】 根据汉语意思完成下句 不要担心。试试看。

Don't worry.______ ______ ______. 答案：Have a try ③

4．I felt like I was a bird.我感觉像是一只鸟。

本句是复合句，I was a bird是省略了that引导的宾语从句。

feel like 给……的感觉；感受到，后可接名词、代词或从句。

We feel like robots.

我们感觉像是机器人。

①

feel like doing sth.＝want/would like to do sth. 希望做某事；想做某事

I feel like going to bed.＝I want to go to bed.＝I would like to go to bed.我想上床睡觉。 【例1】 I feel like ______ with you at the same class. A．stay B．to stay C．staying D．stayed 点拨：feel like后接动词-ing形式。

答案：C

【例2】 —Would you like ______ shopping with me? —Sorry，I feel like ______ this book. A．to go；read B．to go；reading C．going；to read D．going；reading

点拨：would like后接 to do sth.；feel like后接doing sth.，二者一结合，B项正确。 答案：B ④

5.There are a lot of new buildings now，but many of the old buildings are still there.那里现在有许多新房子，但是许多旧的建筑仍然存在。

building n．建筑物；房子，是可数名词。

What's your favorite building? 你最喜欢什么建筑物？

build v. 建造

We want to build a hotel near the beach. 我们想在海边建一个宾馆。 build n．身材

My mother is of medium build. 我妈妈中等体型。 builder n. 建设者

【例题】The ______are busy ______the tall ______. A．builder；build；building B．buildings；build；builder C．builders；building；buildings D．build；building；builders

点拨：根据be busy后接doing sth.可知中间的空处用building，排除A、B两项；句意为“这些建造者正在忙着建造高楼”，故排除D项。

答案：C ⑤

6．I wonder what life was like here in the past.我很想知道过去这儿的生活是什么样的。

本句是复合句，what life was like here in the past作了I wonder的宾语。

wonder v. 想知道；琢磨

(1)wonder后接wh-或how从句时，表示“想知道”，相当于want to know。

I wonder who the boy is. 我想知道这个男孩是谁。

(2)I wonder if...为固定句式，是寻求帮助或请求准许的客套语，相当于May I．..? 肯定回答常有： Sure，go ahead. 好的，请吧。

Of course/Sure.当然可以。 否定回答常用：

I'm sorry，but...对不起…… I'm afraid not.恐怕不行吧。

You'd better not.最好不。

—I wonder if I can read his new poem.

我想知道是否可以读一下他的那首新诗。 —Of course.

当然可以了。 (3)wonder n. 奇迹

(4)wonderful adj.精彩的；绝妙的

We had a wonderful time in the park last Sunday. 上周日我们在公园里玩得很快乐。

【例1】 We all ______ how he made such great progress in a short time. A．believed B．thought C．decided D．wondered

点拨：A项意为“认为；相信”；B项意为“认为”；C项意为“决定”；D项意为“想知道”。根据“他如何在那么短的时间里取得如此大的成绩”可知“我们都想知道”。

答案：D

【例2】 —I wonder ______I could use your mobile phone. —Sure.

A．that B．why C．if D．what

点拨：根据答语“当然可以”可知上句用I wonder if，是寻求帮助或请求准许的客套语。 答案：C

【例3】 The Great Wall is one of the greatest ______ in the world，and it's very ______. A．wonder；wonderful B．wonderful；wonder C．wonders；wonderful D．wonderful；wonders

点拨：one of...后接名词复数形式；very后接形容词或副词；浏览各选项，C项符合语法。句意为“长城是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一，它很壮观”。

答案：C ⑥

7.What a difference a day makes！一天的差别有多大！

本句是感叹句，由what引导。

difference n．差别；差异

常构成短语：make a difference 有影响；起作用

the difference(s) between...and...，意为“……和……两者间的不同点”。 Eating a lot of vegetables can make a difference. 吃大量蔬菜会有帮助的。

There are many differences between Mary and Joan. 玛丽和琼两人有许多不同点。

different adj. 不同的 differently adv.不同地

【例1】 There is no ______ between the twins. A．difference B．different C．differently D．differences

答案：A

【例2】 ______ ideas can make ______. A．Difference；difference B．Different；a difference C．Differently；different D．Difference；differently

点拨：ideas是名词，故用形容词修饰；而make a difference是常用短语。故选B项。
