the volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. it looks like a “river of tire.” sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. but where does this melted rock come from?
the earth is made up of many layers(层). the top layer that we see is called the crust. under the crust are many layers of hard rock. but far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. in some places it even melts. the melted rock is called magma. sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. these cracks are volcanoes.
most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. but not every mountain is a volcano. a volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. the hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. for example, the highest mountain in africa, kilimanjaro, is a volcano. it towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.
1.the underlined word “erupts” means .
a. moves down b. breaks away
c. builds up d. suddenly throws out lava
2.which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?
a. “volcano” and “explode”. b. “crust” and “hard rock”
c. “magma” and “lava” d. “volcano” and “magma”
3.which is the correct order of the layers of the earth(beginning with the top layer)?
a. crust-hard rock-magma-soft rock
b. crust-hard rock- soft rock-magma
c. magma-soft rock- hard rock-crust
d. volcano-cracks-magma-crust
4.the best title(标题) of the passage should be _____.
a. the volcano b. kilimanjaro volcano
c. the mountains d. the melted rock

Traffic Jam 篇2
module 2 traffic jam 例题解析
例1―alice，you feed the bird today，_____？
―but i fed it yesterday.
a.do you b.will you c.didn’t you d.don’t you
思路解析
此题考查祈使句的反意疑问句的用法。祈使句有时为了加强语气，指明向谁提出请求或命令，以引起听话者的注意，也可说出主语。题干中的you feed the bird today就是这种含有主语的祈使句。当陈述部分是祈使句时，反意问句可用will you/won’t you/would you/can you/can’t you，故选择b项。
黑色陷阱
本题容易错选d项。因为句中有主语you,同学们容易误认为这是一个陈述句的反意疑问句。部分同学错选a项的原因是没有记住反意疑问句前后两部分的肯、否定搭配规则。
例2______down the radio―the baby’s asleep in the next room.
a.turning b.turned c.turn d.to turn
思路解析
分析句子结构可以知道，破折号后面的句子是用来补充说明前面那个句子的。由四个选项可知考查的是个祈使句，所以用动词原形，其他几个选项均为非谓语动词形式，故选择c项。
绿色通道
读懂全句意思是做题的第一步,同学们平时做题时一定要看清整个句子的含义，不要太心急，有些同学不等看完题干就动手选答案，这样做很容易只见树木不见森林，错误地理解句意。例3―susan，go and join your sister cleaning the yard.
―why______？john is sitting there doing nothing.
a.him b.he c.i d.me
思路解析
在祈使句中有时为了指明向谁提出的请求或命令，也可以在前加称呼语。理解这一点是做此题的关键，另外根据下文信息“john is sitting there doing nothing”可以看出，d项符合此语境，其中why me？=why do you ask me to do that？
绿色通道
读懂全句的意思很重要,尤其要注意两句话之间的连接词和省略句中的省略部分。如此题中补充完整后的句子是：why do you ask me to do that？我们在解带有省略的句子时，一定要记住将省略的部分补充完整，这有利于对句子结构的分析，从而找到做题的突破口。
例4（nmet ）―i think you should phone jenny and say sorry to her.
―____.it was her fault.
a.no way b.not possible
c.no chance d.not at all
思路解析
本题考查交际用语的使用情况。对话中一个人向另一个人提出建议,根据下文所提供的信息“it was her fault”可以断定第二个人表示断然拒绝此建议。a项no way意为“不行、决不，没门儿”，符合语境。
绿色通道
做交际用语这一类题，一定要排除母语对我们的干扰，不要将汉语的习惯表达直接翻译成英语，而英语中的习惯表达有时也不能按单词意思去理解，如it’s up to you.（由你决定。）take your time.（慢慢来/别着急。）be my guest.（请便、别客气。）far from it.（一点也不。）等等，平时要注意积累正确的英语表达方式。
例5(nmet )―sorry,joe,i didn’t mean to....
―don’t call me joe.i am mr.baker to you.and _____you forget it!
a.do b.didn’t c.don’t d.did
思路解析
don’t you forget it是祈使句。有时为了表明向谁提出请求和命令，或为了加强语气，祈使句中也可说出主语。在否定结构中don’t 放在you 之前,答案为c。
黑色陷阱
本题容易错选a。同学们容易将此句误认为是由do构成的强调句，错误地理解成“你一定又忘了”。do可用在陈述句中加强语气，但是常常放在谓语动词前面，而本题空格在主语you之前，所以不符合题目要求。
绿色通道
做这类题的关键是将句意看懂，尤其是第二句中提供的信息，一定要看完整，且准确体会第二个讲话者的语气。请同学们记住一条出题规律：题干中不会提供多余的信息，一定要全面理解句子意思，使用全部信息解题。
志鸿原创题
根据短文内容和所给的提示，完成句子。
we interrupt this programme to bring you a special news bulletin.this afternoon,a school bus that left central junior high school at 3 p.m.was struck by a tractor-trailer truck that crashed headlong into the rear of the bus.the student getting off the bus plus 10 other children were badly injured.the truck driver also was hurt when the truck overturned into a ditch.authorities say that there is no indication that the truck driver or the bus driver had been drinking,nor can poor weather conditions be used to explain the accident.we return you to the mid-afternoon music show.a complete report will follow the five o’clock news.
1)this special news interrupted_______________________ .(which programme)
2)the accident happened________________________ .(what time)
3)(how many)______________________ people were hurt in this accident.
4)if you want to get further information about this matter,you can return to____________ .(which programme)
参考答案：1)the mid-afternoon music show
2)shortly after 3 p.m.
3)twelve
4)the programme of the five o’clock news
思路解析
第一小题，文章第一句中提到“we interrupt this programme”，文章倒数第二行中提到“we return you to the mid afternoon music show”，从这两句可以看出this programme指的是the mid afternoon music show；第二小题，从文章第二句中得知车下午3点从学校开出来，然后出事了，可以推出出事的时间是下午3点以后；第三小题，从文章第三、四句可知一个正下车的学生、其他十个孩子还有卡车司机都受了伤，共12个人；第四小题，从文章最后一句“a complete report will follow the five o’clock news”可以看出5点新闻后会播出有关事故的详细报道。
绿色通道
做这种题的关键是通读全文把握全文大意，看清题目要求，读懂细节，尤其注意上下文之间的暗示。

行在北京
出租车
北京大街上的出租车是24小时服务的。只要你招招手，立刻就会有出租车。它们通常都是红色车身，并且在车窗上显示每公里的路价。你要做的，就是确认司机有营运照，并且索要发票。
公交车和电车
公共交通为人们游览北京提供了低价位的出行方式。北京大约有两万多辆公交车和电车，但是，它们有时会很拥挤。最明智的做法在高峰期（上午6：30-8：00，下午5：00-6：30）乘坐公交车和电车。这些车车票价格便宜，一元起价。空调车则要贵一些。公交线1到100路都是仅限于市中心内的，车号更高一些的线路，可以通达郊区。对于游人来说，最不该错过的时103路电车，他途经紫禁城和北海白塔，沿途风景令人印象深刻。如果你乘坐双层公共汽车，请务必坐在上层，这样你会一览这个飞速发展城市的亮丽风景。
多数公交车从早上5：00运行一直到午夜。不过，也有夜班车，编号在200―300之间。
小公共汽车
在一些地区，这种12个座位的小型公共汽车给人们在昂贵的出租车和拥挤的公共汽车外，提供了第三种选择。它们跟大公共汽车走同样的路线，提供有规律的服务。在小公共汽车上，即使在高峰期也能找到空位。
地铁
北京有四条地铁线，还有几条线也在建设之中。地铁方便快捷，但在高峰期，情况会很糟糕。地铁票价单程为三元，站名用拼音标注，运营时间为上午5点到晚上11点。
三轮脚踏车
游客们喜欢这些人力驱动的“三轮脚踏车”，但价格可能会较贵。因此坐之前要先弄清楚价格，明确价钱是否按人数计算，是单程还是往返双程的问题。如果想去老北京的胡同探秘，三轮脚踏车绝对是值得一坐的。

grammar exploration
语法：本单元的语法项目是祈使句
1.基本概念
祈使句是用来表示命令，请求或建议等意义的句子，是英语的基本句型之一。
2.基本要点
祈使句一般没有主语，实际上是省略了主语“you”,有时需要强调对方时，可表示出主语。 谓语动词用原形。句末用感叹号或句号，用降调朗读。
e. g. come here, please. 请来这里。
please open the window. 请打开窗子。
come and meet my family. 来见见我家人。
you clean the blackboard. 你来擦黑板！
3. 基本句型
(1) do 型? （以行为动词原形开头） e. g.. get out! 出去！?
(2) be 型 e. .g be quiet! 安静！
(3) let +宾语+ do型 e. g. let’s listen to the music. 我们听音乐吧。注意：
三种句型中do型为最常见、最简单的一种结构。表示请求、劝告的祈使句还可以在句前或句末加上please。以使语气更加缓和，客气。
e. g. help him, please! 请帮帮他!
please pass me that book. 请把那本书递给我。
4. 祈使句的否定结构
don’t/never + 动词原形
e. g. don’t do that again! 不要再做那件事了！
never do that again! 再也不要做那件事了！
don’t make any noise! 不要发生噪音。
don’t let a child do whatever he likes! 不要让小孩子为所欲为.
注意：let’s 型祈使句，其否定式也可用let’s not表达。
e. g. let’s not play any more! 我们不要再玩了！
let’s not waste our time! 我们不要再浪费时间了！
5. 祈使句的附加疑问句
(1). 在祈使句的附加疑问句中，附加疑问部分一般用will you? 回答部分则用(yes) i will. 或(no) i won't.
e. g. -----turn down the tv, will you? 把电视机（音量）调低一些好吗？
----yes, i will./ no, i won’t. 好的/不。
(1). 以let's开头的祈使句,其附加疑问句一般用shall we，而以let us开头的祈使句,其附加疑问句则用will you。因为let’s中的us包含听话者（即被请求者），而let us中的us不包含听话者在内。
e. g. let’s practice our spoken english, shall we? 我们（一起）练习英语口语，好吗？（即请求者要求与被请者一起练习）
let us play the football this afternoon, will you? （您）今天下午让我们踢足球，好吗？（踢足球的人不包含被请求者）
