The Romans built great aqueducts to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities. Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Romans also built great pipes under the ground to carry away the sewage（污水）. In Rome, one of these sewage pipes is still used today; it is 2000 years old. The Roman Emperors even set up a government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.
Then the Roman Empire fell to pieces, these_civilized_methods_of_treatment disappeared from most of Europe, for more than a thousand years. People_went_back_to_the_old_ways. They lived in dirty conditions which helped to cause disease; and they asked God to cure the disease. They shut up mentally sick people in prisons. Or they burnt them alive because they were supposed to have magic powers.
But the work of the Greek and Roman doctors was not lost. Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs moved into many of the Mediterranean（地中海）countries. They took big parts of the old Roman lands. They translated the Greek and Roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries.
When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and Roman works on medicine into Latin. Slowly-very slowly-European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. Slowly, they began to make new discoveries. They found out more about the way the body works-the way these muscles move our bodies.

A. something built to carry away the sewage
B. something invented by a Roman Emperor
C. a big pipe under the ground

A. advanced forms of health case
B. the way they burnt the bodies of the dead

A. People lived in dirty conditions again.
B. People asked God for help when they were ill.
C. People did not treat mentally sick people properly.
D. People built hospitals for themselves.
4. From this passage we’ve learned that the Arabs __________ .
A. made more discoveries than the Romans
B. helped to keep the Roman medical works
C. discovered more about the way the human body works
D. took up big parts of the old Roman lands 2000 years ago
5. A suitable title for this passage could be __________ .
A. The devotion made by the Romans and Arabs to the development of public health
B. how the Arabs seized the Roman Empire by force
C. the rise and fall of the Roman Empire
D. how Arabian doctors helped to translate the medical books

be used to do被用于做…… be used to doing习惯于……
二、如何听的建议
讲究方法，提高短时记忆能力
人的记忆方式分为短时记忆和长时记忆两种。短时记忆对英语听力测试尤为重要，因为只有记住刚听完的内容，才有可能对所听内容进行加工处理，最后确定答案。然而，人的短时记忆的时间和容量是有限的，要提高短时记忆力，需要进行记忆力的训练，掌握一些记忆方法。在平时的听力练习中，我们可尝试以下几种方法：
1.重点记忆法：认真、快速地读题，从而确定记忆的重点，增强有意识的记忆。
2.复述记忆法：在平时的听力训练中，听完一篇对话或独白后，立即用自己的语言复述其中的主要内容。开始时不要因回忆不出很多的内容而泄气。能记住主要内容，就算成功。经过多次这样的训练，短时记忆的能力会有明显的提高。
3.情景记忆法：如果孤立地去记所听到的人名、地名、数字等，是难以记住的。但如果把他们放到特定的场合中去，与情景联系起来，弄清文章中的时间（when）、地点（where）、人物（who）和情节（why, what, how）四大要素，往往就比较容易了。
此外还有用简单符号和简图记录所听内容的方法。
【口语导读】
一、语言点讲解
1. You can read some books about that.你可以阅读一些有关那方面的书籍。
about与on都可表示“关于”的意思。
（1）about侧重叙事，on侧重论述；about多用于个人事迹、故事内容、一般的书籍、文章等较浅显的问题，on多用于比较重大的，涉及比较深广的诸如国际形势、政治、理论、学术、报告、专著等方面的问题。 eg:
a book on the radio关于无线电方面的专著
stories about Lei Feng关于雷锋的故事
注：a book on the radio中，若on改用about时，指一本关于无线电的科普故事书；story后只能用about，不能用on。
（2）about常与learn, teach, read, tell, know等动词连用。 eg:
What do you know about it?对此你知道些什么？
He talked a lot about his family.他说了许多关于家庭的事。
2. What I’d really like to find out is whether people would sometimes want to go on a holiday, as we do.我真正想弄清楚的是人们有时是否想去度假，就像我们一样。
（1）What I’d really like to find out在句中做主语，whether people would sometimes want to go on a holiday在句中做表语。
（2）as引导非限制性定语从句，代表整个主句，在从句中做宾语。 eg:
He married her, as was natural.他跟她结婚了，这是很自然的事。
注：which与as都可引导非限制性定语从句，代表整个主句，但有区别：
①as引导的从句可以放在主句之前，主句之后，甚至还可以分割主句；which引导的非限制性定语从句只能放在主句之后。另外，as常有“正如，正像”的含义。 eg:
John, as you know, is a writer.正如你所知，约翰是个作家。
He was very rude to the Customs officer, which of course made things even worse.
他对海关官员非常无礼，这当然使事情更糟糕了。（1998，上海高考）
②as作为关系代词还可用于the same…as和such…as中。 eg:
I’ve never heard such stories as he tells.
我从未听过他讲的这样的故事。
This is the same dictionary as I lost.这本字典跟我丢失的一样。

（三）阅读理解（每小题2分，共8分）
When we say that Cambridge is a university town, we do not mean just that it is a town with a university in it. Manchester and Milan have universities, but we do not call them university towns. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, pubs（小酒馆）, market place and so on, but most of it is university-colleges, faculties（各系部）, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff（教职员工）and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks, and churches, making these as well part of the university.
The town was there first. Two Roman roads crossed there, and there are signs of building before Roman times (earlier than AD 43). Cambridge became a center of learning, and the authority（权威）of the head of the university was recognized by the king in 1226.
With about 8250 undergraduates and over 2000 postgraduates, the city is a busy place in “fill turn”（全体学生在校上课时）. Undergraduates are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures. Your bicycle must go through a boiling sea of other bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of full term, you know that you are in a university town.
1. What is called a university town?
A. A town with a university in it.
B. A university with a town in it.

二、同、近义词辨析
1. sure与certain确信，有把握
相同点：（1）都可接about/ of，意思是“确信”，“对……有把握”，只能用人做主语。 eg:
Are you sure/ certain of that?你确信那件事吗？
（2）都可接不定式，意思是“一定会……”，人或物均可做主语。 eg:
He is sure/certain to succeed.他一定会成功。
The project is sure/certain to be a success.这个计划一定会成功。
（3）后面跟“连接词（疑问词、连词whether）+不定式”结构，意思是“确定……”，只能用人做主语。 eg:
I’m not sure/certain what to do.我不知道怎么办。
（4）都可跟从句，意思是“肯定……”，“确定……”，只能用人做主语。 eg:
I’m not sure/certain whether I’ve met him before.
我不能确定以前是否见到过他。
不同点：sure不能用于It is certain that…句型。 eg:
It is certain that your team will win.你们队肯定会赢。
2. cloth, clothes与clothing
(1)cloth指做衣服用的材料（布料、毛料、丝绸等），是物质名词，不可数，没有复数形式。 eg:
a piece of cloth一块布料（不能说a cloth）
How much cloth does it take to make a coat for the child?
给这个孩子做件上衣要多少布？
注：cloth指“具体用途的布”时，是可数名词。 eg:
a table cloth一块桌布 a dish-cloth擦盘子布
（2）clothes统指各种衣服，包括外套、西装、衬衣、裤子、裙、鞋、帽等。不指单件衣服。它既不能用作单数，也不能和表示具体数目的数词连用。做主语时，谓语用复数形式。
不能说：a clothes（×） six clothes(×)
但可以说many (these, a few, my) clothes(√) eg:
He had to buy many clothes.他只好买很多衣服。
These clothes are new.这些衣服都是新的。
（3）clothing是衣服、服装的总称，是集合名词，只有单数形式。做主语时，谓语用单数形式。 eg:
food and clothing衣食
an article of clothing (a piece of clothing) 一件衣服
三、语言点讲解
1. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. 猎人或是武士的工具跟他埋在一起。
此句是倒装句，正常的语序应是：
The tools of a hunter or warrior were buried with him.
当一个句子没有宾语而主语又比较长，为了保持句子平衡，或为了强调表语或状语，或为了使上下文紧密衔接，可将状语提到句子前头，同时把谓语也放到主语的前面。 eg:
East of the town lies a beautiful lake.城东有一美丽的湖泊。
Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.
在它们的旁边放着一块垫东西的石头，这个人有可能在上面锻造金属。
2. This was a time when the first metals were brought to Britain.那时第一批金属被带到了英国。
a time特定的一段时间，在这指的是that period。
when引出的是定语从句，修饰先行词a time，等于at which。 eg:
This was a time when there were still slaves in the USA.那时美国还有奴隶。
3. Iron came later, in what was called the Iron Age.后来，在所谓的铁器时代出现了铁。
句中what was called the Iron Age是what引出的名词性从句做in的宾语，连接词what在从句中充当成分，做主语，因此不用that。 eg:
Einstein’s most famous theory is what we call the Theory of Relativity.
爱因斯坦最著名的理论就是我们所说的相对论。
4. At first it was thought that it was through war and armed conflict, but…起初，人们认为铁是由于战争和武装冲突才出现的。但……
句中it was thought +that…it是形式主语，真正的主语是that从句，第二个it指上文的“铁”（iron）。
掌握句型：It is said/ thought/believed…that…
=People say/think/believe that…
=sb. /sth. is said/ believed/ thought to do eg:
It is said that the book has been translated into English.
= People say that the book has been translated into English.
= The book is said to have been translated into English.
据说，这本书已经被译成了英文。
四、典型病句诊断
1.病句：The woman was said that she had no son.
诊断：The woman was said to have no son.
It was said that the woman had no son.
点拨：表示“据说”可用两种句型：一种是It is/was+ said +that从句；另一种是据说的人或物为主语，said之后接动词不定式。
2.病句：The scientist’s theory is proved to be correct.
诊断：The scientist’s theory proves to be correct.
点拨：prove表示“证明是，表明是”时是不及物动词，类似系动词，后接名词或（to be）+形容词，所以没有被动式。
3.病句：It is sure that he will come.
诊断：It is certain that he will come.
点拨：sure和certain为“确信，有把握”讲时，基本上都能互换，但在It is certain that…句型中，只能使用certain，不能用sure。
4.病句：He is possible to succeed.
诊断：He is likely to succeed.
点拨：possible的主语不能是人，而likely的主语可以是物也可以是人。
5.病句：The teacher as well as his students are present.
诊断：The teacher as well as his students is present.
点拨：as well as连接两个名词做主语时，谓语动词的人称要与as well as前的名词保持一致。
6.病句：My clothes is hanging behind the door.
诊断：My clothes are hanging behind the door.
点拨：clothes指各种衣服，做主语时，谓语动词用复数。

（三）阅读理解（每小题2分，共8分）
Science in its modern form began only a few hundred years ago. One of the first great scientists was Galileo. He used his observation to prove new theories. Before him, most people had accepted the ideas of ancient Greek scientists such as Aristotle, without checking to see if they were right. Galileo laid the foundation for the work of Newton, who is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time.
However, science in the twentieth century has changed greatly since Newton’s day. Discoveries are now often made by scientists working together, who may compete with others to make a discovery first. An example of this was the discovery of how a chemical called DNA in body cells is made up.
Modern science can be very expensive. Earlier in this century, men such as Ernest Rutherford found that atoms are made of smaller particles by using simple apparatus（器具）. Other scientists then developed theories about how these particles（微粒）fitted into the atom. But to discover new subatomic（原子的）particles today costs millions of pounds, with dozens of scientists and engineers involved.
Atomic scientists have given us power (including the power to kill). In 1942 the first nuclear reactor（原子反应堆）was built, in which uranium split to give off energy. This soon led to the first atomic bomb.
Medical scientists are always working to save lives. Surgery has become much safer since Joseph Lister realized the need to kill germs（细菌）when operating. Equally important advances saving lives have been the introduction of vaccination（种痘）and antibiotics（抗菌素）.

（1）作形式主语
代替由不定式（或不定式复合结构）、动名词或从句所表示的真正主语。
eg: It was wrong for you not to help her.
你当时不帮助她是错误的。(it代替不定式短语)
It will be useless learning a theory without practice.
学习理论而没有实践是无用的。(it 代替动名词短语)
It’s not yet known where she has gone.

It was yesterday that I met Tom in the street.我是昨天在街上遇见汤姆的。
注：如果去掉“It is (was) ……”这一结构，将被强调部分放回原句，其句子仍然成立。 eg:
Where is it that we shall park our car?我们把车停在哪？
（去掉is it that，原句还原成:Where shall we park our car?）

THE BRONTE FAMILY
(2004,全国)
Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels（小说）of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.
Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.
Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher（出版商）,but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book.(It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animallike. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis（肺结核）as her sisters had.

Machines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to stop anyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.
In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient（高效的）sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially（商业的）successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.
Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.
It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）with an electric motor to such the dust.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called“salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. Then it gives birth and dies there. In n
