2.join sb.in...表示“加入某人……”。
辨析join,join in与take part in

知识点2wonder的用法
1.wonder 既可以作可数名词,也可以作不可数名词。表示“奇观;奇迹”时是可数名词,表示“惊奇;惊叹”时是不可数名词。
2.wonder还可以作及物动词,意为“想知道;感到诧异”。常见用法:
(1)后接who,what,why等疑问词引导的宾语从句或“疑问词+不定式”结构,表示“想知道”。
(2)后接that引导的宾语从句或不定式短语时,表示“对……感到惊奇或惊讶”,that可以省略。
(3)后接if或whether引导的宾语从句,用于有礼貌地询问。

知识点4one的用法
1.one可作代词,替代前面出现的名词,避免重复。若替代的名词为复数,则用其复数形式ones。
2.one与it的区别:
one指前面出现的名词所表示的同类事物中的一个;it明确地指上文中所提到的那个事物。例如:
I have lost my pen.I’m looking for it.我的钢笔丢了。我正在找它。
I have lost my pen.I think I must buy one.我的钢笔丢了。我觉得我得买一支。
知识点5millions of的用法
millions of意为“数以百万的”。当hundred,thousand,million,billion等前面有具体数字修饰,表示“确数”时,要用单数形式;当前面没有具体数字修饰,表示“概数”时,需要在其后加 s和介词of。例如:

Mona Island is an amazing place to take a vacation. Some of the animals living there can’t be found anywhere else in the world. There are beautiful beaches and caves to explore. The sea around the island has colorful fishes.
Why Is Mona Island Unusual
Mona Island is very small. The government of Puerto Rico takes care of the island and has made it a natural reserve. That means the island’s animals and plants are protected from being harmed by people. Mona Island is different from most places because people are not allowed to live there. Only a few park rangers are able to stay.
The park rangers’ job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful. They insist that rules be followed. One rule is that only 100 people at a time can visit the island. That way, the park rangers can make sure the land and animals remain safe.
What Is There to See on Mona Island
One thing that most people enjoy is getting to see the Mona Island iguana. This type of reptile (爬行动物) lives only on Mona Island. Almost 2,000 of these iguanas live on Mona Island.
People also come to the island to get a close-up view of many kinds of fish and other sea life. They can swim far below the surface. They use special equipment to be able to breathe underwater. The water is almost transparent. Through the clear water, divers can see the bright colors of the fish.
Visitors can also explore caves. Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. This artwork was made by the Arawak and Taíno Indians who lived on the island hundreds of years ago.
After a full day of fun activities, visitors can settle in, listen to the night sounds, and view the stars in the huge sky. Because the island is far away from other places, it is surrounded by darkness, and the stars are easier to see. Visitors say that watching the stars is amazing. It’s the perfect end to a perfect day.
26．What do park rangers on Mona Island do
A．Offer some help to visitors. B．Drive a boat between Puerto Rico and Mona Island.
C．Feed animals on Mona Island. D．Protect the land and animals.
27．Which of the following best explains the word “transparent”
A．so clear that you can see through B．too bright to be seen
C．too deep to be reached D．so difficult that you can’t finish
28．Where can artwork be seen on Mona Island
A．On the beaches. B．In a museum. C．In the caves. D．On the wall of the hotel.
29．Why are the stars easier to see on Mona Island
A．Because Mona Island is very small.
B．Because Mona Island is amazing.
C．Because visitors can settle in after a full day on Mona Island.
D．Because Mona Island is far from other places and darkness is all around it.
30．What is the most possible reason the author wrote this article
A．To explain why animals live on the island.
B．To show readers where the island is located.
C．To tell about a place that some people might enjoy.
D．To give facts about people who work on the island.

35．句意：亚马逊雨林是地球上动植物物种最多的家园。根据“The Amazon rain forest is… to the largest number of plants and animal species on Earth”可知，亚马逊雨林是动植物的家园，“家园”为home，故填home。
36．句意：世界上有250万种昆虫，比如世界上最大的蚂蚁。表示具体的数量，基数词后接数词的单数形式，故填million。
37．句意：亚马逊的一些动物很危险。are后接形容词作表语，dangerous为“危险的”，故填dangerous。
38．句意：但也有温和的动物，比如树懒和粉红海豚。空格前后句是转折关系，应填but，句首首字母大写，故填But。
39．句意：那里还有许多我们不知道的动物和植物。根据全文可知，此句是一般现在时，主语animals and plants是复数形式，be动词用are，故填are。
40．句意：如果我们失去亚马逊，我们将失去地球上很大一部分生命。if引导的条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时will do的结构，故填will lose。
41． agree with them
【详解】短语agree with sb.“同意某人”；根据语境可知时态是一般现在时态，主语是I，动词用原形，with是介词，后加代词宾格。them“他们”，代词宾格。故填agree；with；them。
42． more than three
【详解】多于：more than；三个：three，三人以上：more than three people。故填more；than；three。
43． millions of people
【详解】对比中英文可知，空处为“无数人”，考查大数的表达。millions of“无数的”，millions of people“无数人”，作宾语。故填millions；of；people。
44． Would you like
【详解】表达“要”用“would like sth.”。疑问句将“would”放在主语“you”前，“like”放在主语后。句首首字母“w”大写。故填Would；you；like。
45． 10 metres wide
【详解】表示宽度：基数词+metre(s)+wide，根据10可知，名词要用复数形式，故填10；metres；wide。
46．A 47．D 48．B 49．E 50．F
【导语】本文主要是爸爸给孩子介绍自己对中国的了解，例如山脉、河流等的对话。
46．根据上句“Dad, how much do you know about China ”及下句对中国基本情况的介绍可知横线上的句子应当是表示对中国有些了解。A项“只是一点点。”符合语境。故选A。
47．根据下句“such as Mount Tai and Mount Emei”可判断出横线上的句子是在询问有关中国山脉的情况，并且是一个一般疑问句。D项“有什么美丽的山吗？”符合语境。故选D。
48．根据下句“There are many rivers in China.”可判断出横线上的句子是在询问有关中国河流的情况。B项“河流呢？”符合语境。故选B。

51．例文
It’s my great honour to be your tour guide today. In 1929, a farmer found the Sangxingdui Ruins by accident. People found some artifacts, but didn’t know how important they were. After “sleeping” for more than 3,000 years, the Sanxingdui Ruins surprised the world in 1986. Scientists found more than 1,000 cultural relics then.
The surprises didn’t stop there. Scientists recently found about 500 cultural relics that date back more than 3,200 years. The total area of the Sanxingdui Ruins is about 12 square kilometres.
The Sanxingdui Ruins are thought to be one of the world’s greatest discoveries of the 20th century. The discovery shows that the Chinese civilization started not only along the Yellow River, but also along the Yangze River.

1.join+党派或团体名称。
2.join sb.in...表示“加入某人……”。
辨析join,join in与take part in

take part in 指参加比较正式的活动或重大事件,并在其中担当角色或发挥作用,如会议、改革、运动、战争等。
知识点2wonder的用法
1.wonder 既可以作可数名词,也可以作不可数名词。表示“奇观;奇迹”时是可数名词,表示“惊奇;惊叹”时是不可数名词。
2.wonder还可以作及物动词,意为“想知道;感到诧异”。常见用法:
(1)后接who,what,why等疑问词引导的宾语从句或“疑问词+不定式”结构,表示“想知道”。
(2)后接that引导的宾语从句或不定式短语时,表示“对……感到惊奇或惊讶”,that可以省略。
(3)后接if或whether引导的宾语从句,用于有礼貌地询问。

It’s hard work.I enjoy it,though.工作很辛苦。可是我很喜欢。
知识点4one的用法
1.one可作代词,替代前面出现的名词,避免重复。若替代的名词为复数,则用其复数形式ones。
2.one与it的区别:
one指前面出现的名词所表示的同类事物中的一个;it明确地指上文中所提到的那个事物。例如:
I have lost my pen.I’m looking for it.我的钢笔丢了。我正在找它。
I have lost my pen.I think I must buy one.我的钢笔丢了。我觉得我得买一支。
知识点5millions of的用法
millions of意为“数以百万的”。当hundred,thousand,million,billion等前面有具体数字修饰,表示“确数”时,要用单数形式;当前面没有具体数字修饰,表示“概数”时,需要在其后加 s和介词of。例如:

Mona Island is an amazing place to take a vacation. Some of the animals living there can’t be found anywhere else in the world. There are beautiful beaches and caves to explore. The sea around the island has colorful fishes.
Why Is Mona Island Unusual
Mona Island is very small. The government of Puerto Rico takes care of the island and has made it a natural reserve. That means the island’s animals and plants are protected from being harmed by people. Mona Island is different from most places because people are not allowed to live there. Only a few park rangers are able to stay.
The park rangers’ job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful. They insist that rules be followed. One rule is that only 100 people at a time can visit the island. That way, the park rangers can make sure the land and animals remain safe.
What Is There to See on Mona Island
One thing that most people enjoy is getting to see the Mona Island iguana. This type of reptile (爬行动物) lives only on Mona Island. Almost 2,000 of these iguanas live on Mona Island.
People also come to the island to get a close-up view of many kinds of fish and other sea life. They can swim far below the surface. They use special equipment to be able to breathe underwater. The water is almost transparent. Through the clear water, divers can see the bright colors of the fish.
Visitors can also explore caves. Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. This artwork was made by the Arawak and Taíno Indians who lived on the island hundreds of years ago.
After a full day of fun activities, visitors can settle in, listen to the night sounds, and view the stars in the huge sky. Because the island is far away from other places, it is surrounded by darkness, and the stars are easier to see. Visitors say that watching the stars is amazing. It’s the perfect end to a perfect day.
26．What do park rangers on Mona Island do
A．Offer some help to visitors. B．Drive a boat between Puerto Rico and Mona Island.
C．Feed animals on Mona Island. D．Protect the land and animals.
27．Which of the following best explains the word “transparent”
A．so clear that you can see through B．too bright to be seen
C．too deep to be reached D．so difficult that you can’t finish
28．Where can artwork be seen on Mona Island
A．On the beaches. B．In a museum. C．In the caves. D．On the wall of the hotel.
29．Why are the stars easier to see on Mona Island
A．Because Mona Island is very small.
B．Because Mona Island is amazing.
C．Because visitors can settle in after a full day on Mona Island.
D．Because Mona Island is far from other places and darkness is all around it.
30．What is the most possible reason the author wrote this article
A．To explain why animals live on the island.
B．To show readers where the island is located.
C．To tell about a place that some people might enjoy.
D．To give facts about people who work on the island.
