2010高考命題趨向分析：

1.preserve是新課標重點單詞，為高頻考查對象 2007年上海卷考查過；該詞常與protect, reserve, defend等進行詞義辨析，預測2010年仍會考到

2.ancelerate為考試常見詞，對它的命題角度多從搭配入手；經常與它一起考查的有：promote, improve,advance,increase等

3．Regardless of 為新課標重點短語。本短語多與in spite of ,inplace of, despite等放在一起考查；2009年天津卷作為干擾項出現；2009年江蘇卷考查過。考生要掌握它的意義，以及和其它介詞短語的辨析

4．If only句型是應用的常用句型，后面需要接虛擬語氣。該句型常與only if進行辨析。2006年江蘇卷把if only作為干擾項出現 2010年極有可能考查if only, only if的辨析

Module8unit5 第二課時

現在完成進行時

【基礎過關】1.結構由“have/has been+動詞的現在分詞”構成

2.現在完成進行時的用法

（1）表示從過去某時開始，一直持續到現在的動作，可能剛剛停止，也可能還在繼續進行

（2）有時現在完成進行時不是指某動作一直在不停的進行，而是表示一直到說話時為止的一段時間內一再重復的動作，常常帶有感情色彩 例如：

She has been saying that 20 times. 這話她已經說了20遍了

He has been calling on her several times this week. 他這個星期幾次來看他

We have been having a lot of rain recently. 最近雨水很多

（3）有時現在完成進行時表示剛才或近來發生的動作，也可表示知道說話時為止的一段時間內發生的動作，這一動做到說話時已經結束，而且一般不再繼續下去；這種用法主要表示某一動作所產生的結果或對現在的影響 例如

He has been working too hard.

他工作太辛苦了

The girl has been playing with toys.

那個女孩一直在玩玩具

You have been cleaning the classroom, I think.

我想你剛才在打掃教室吧

【點撥】辨析： 現在完成時和現在完成進行時

現在完成時和現在完成進行時均可表示從過去開始一直持續到現在的動作，有時兩者可換用。這兩種時態的主要區別有兩個 ：

1）現在完成時表示動作已完成，著重結果；現在完成進行時表示動作的進行，強調動作的持續性 比較：

I have watered the flowers.

我已經給花澆過水了 （已完成：你不必澆了）

I have been watering the flowers.

我一直在給花澆水 （未完成：一直在澆）

2）狀態動詞、知覺動詞或情感動詞如：see, feel,know,love 等，不可用于現在完成進行時，但可用于現在完成時，例如：

I have known her for a long time.

我認識她已經很久了

I haven’t seen him theses days.

這些日子我沒有見過他

2. --- Have you finished the report?

A. will do B. had done

C. have done D. have been doing

【答案】D 考查現在完成進行時的用法

【點撥】現在完成進行時可用于表示動作或狀態從過去某一時間開始，一直持續到現在，有可能繼續延續下去，也可能剛剛結束。本題使用現在完成進行時強調了動作的持續性和未完成性。答案為D。

A

Sports shoes that tell whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been designed in the UK.

The shoes-named Square Eyes-contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how many evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.

The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project a Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says, “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”

Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.

Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So , every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.

Existing pedometers(計步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her show has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design consideration.”

56. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.

A. keep a record of the steps of the wearer

B. deal with overweight among teenagers

C. enable children to resist the temptation of TV.

D. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs.

57. Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?

A. They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.

B. They determine a child’s daily pocket money.

C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D. They contain information of the receiver.

58. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestions?

A. The exact number of steps to be taken.

B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.

C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.

D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

59. Compared with other similar products, the new design _________.

A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat

B. counts the wearer’s steps through shaking

C. records the sudden movement of the wearer

D. sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver

60. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?

A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time

B. Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise

C. Smart Shoes Measures Time of Exercise

D. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

B

Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States. Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses. Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery.

Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decline. It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus (IAPV) .The virus kills bees. Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it.

When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies ( 群體), some with and the others without decline. The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi (真菌) once suspected of causing the bee decline. The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline. The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause.

Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information. In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it.

Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV can single--handedly cause the bee decline. They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime. It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV.

Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the United States. The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change.

61. According to the passage ，IAPV is a virus that ______.

A. hasn’t attracted much attention

B. well-known to doctors and scientist

C. was first found by Austrian researchers

D. is dangerous to animals and human beings

62. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______.

A. the virus could also cause other damages

B. there must be something that is the real cause

C. IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline

D. the virus may be caused by the polluted environment

63. From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______.

A. calculating B. comparing

C. examining D. investigating

64. What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?

A. How and why to kill IAPV.

B. How IAPV came to America.

C. Whether bee products should be imported.

D. How to change the rules of the bee products trade.

65. The best title for this passage would be _____.

A. Bee Disease B. How to Kill IAPV

C. A Virus-IAPV D. Two Types of Fungi

C

The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (義務), self - improvement.

Ask a bachelor(單身漢)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.

Scott Langteau has this message for kids：Spend less time playing video games．

It’s a message that many a morn and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters)who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand．

But the 40一year-old Langteau isn’t a parent．He’s a veteran(老手)0f the video game in dustry-one who played producer on three“Medal of Honor" games and co-founded his own game development company．

Langteau has just published a children’s book called“Sofa Boy，”which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the Couch with controller heId in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow．

It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction．But first．Langteau would like to make one thing clear：…I m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games．I think video games are great-think they do great things for kids．"Instead。Langteau says his book is all about a little something called“moderation(克制)．”

“It's about being well rounded，”he says．“Just like with anything else，we all need to make sure that there’S a variety in what we do．”

Video garners can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment．And understandably so．After all，most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders-people who don't play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment．

But Langteau and‘‘Sofa Boy’’seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to．After a11．this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games．His early experience has taught him a lesson．

A．The book tells of the writer’s own story．

B．The book describes a veteran on games.

C．playing video games ruins the future of kids

第一節：閱讀表達：（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生).” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.”I think by 2075 ______________________________________ and that’s a conservative estimate (保守的估計).”

At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (納米技術) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to180 years.” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120,you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leonard Poon, the director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

第二節：寫作

Dear classmates:

It’s a pleasure for me to have a chance to make a short speech today. Recently, I have found that some of our classmates study late into the night and do not spare any time to take a rest during the day either, but they often cannot help falling asleep in class. And some classmates seldom have breakfast, which is also a bad habit and will surely do harm to their health.

In my opinion, it’s extremely important for us to have enough sleep and a proper diet. We must learn to make wise use of our time, and only in this way can we keep fit and study well. I wonder if you agree with me.

Thank you for listening!
