What is the difference between them?
(When the Ss describe the pictures, remind the students to think about the differences in the two pictures. The students may have different opinions. Encourage them to think out reasons as many as possible. They may have a discussion.)
Suggested answers:

The rooms are big.
Every flat has a toilet and bathroom.
Not much contact with their neighbors.
People often feel lonely.
Flat roof.

The roof is sloping.(why?)
…
Qs In which house would you prefer to live? Why?

The students should tell others their reasons to support their choices. For example, living in the small house makes me feel warm. I like making friends with my neighbors. It looks like a big family. Encourage them to express their ideas freely.
T: Buildings in the different places are different. So what words and phrases do you think will be useful when you want to talk about art and architecture?

Collect their answers.( appearance: high, low, great, The palaces were large and beautiful, and they often looked like something out of a fairy tale.；materials: brick, stone, steel ,glass, wood…)
T: If you were free to design your own dream house, what would that house look like? What materials would you use? Explain why you made certain choices about your dream house?

Give the students enough time to discuss the question. Collect their answers.
Step 2 Speaking

3 Practice. Ask them to look at the pictures and choose the item they prefer. Try to explain the reasons.
Two tasks: One is to talk about traditional and classical furniture. And the second task is to choose a picture to decorate their room. T can start a sample dialogue like this:

These buildings are given a second life,They are being reused. Today we are going to read a passage about a second life to an old factory.
Step 3 Fast reading on “ Factory 798 ”
And the same story goes with an old factory called “Factory 798”. Has anybody ever heard of that? If no, let’s open our books and read the passage on Page 23. Try to find out: “What is Factory 798? ”（ an old army factory ; an arts centre;）
Step 4 Careful reading

Q: What was Factory 798 like?
→ huge factory halls of bricks
→ small round windows that remind you of ships
→ bent roofs
→ 20-foot high walls of glass
More questions on the screen to guide the reading:
1. When was Factory 798 built? Who designed it? Who built it?
2. Why is it very different from Chinese architecture?
--- We’ve known that Factory 798 was built in 1950s. As time went by and things developed, what happened to it then?
→ no longer used/ needed
→ stood empty

< Show the language points on the screen. >
1. pull down
2. stand

Step 6 Retelling
Read the text and try to summarize the text. That is to say, suppose you are a journalist from CCTV 9 and you’ve just paid a visit to the famous Factory 798. Please make a TV program to introduce Factory 798 to our citizens in your own words. I’ll give you three minutes to read through the text by yourselves and get prepared for the retelling.
Step 7 Discussion
In almost every city around the world, there are old buildings which are no longer used, such as schools, hospitals, factories or even churches. What do you think people should do with them? Why?
→To pull down the old buildings and set up new modern ones to keep up with the pace of the society.
→New uses should be given to old special buildings. It’s a great way to save the architecture from the past.
Step 8 Writing.
--- Since we all agree that giving the old special buildings new uses is a great way to save the architecture from the past, now it’s time for you to have a practice and show your ability. Suppose our school is moving to the new campus now and the old campus will be left empty then. You are young painters, artists, musicians, and you can rent some parts of the school building to practice. How do you want to change the school buildings? What new uses can be given to the old school buildings? Please work in groups and make a plan about it.
Step 9 Homework.
1. Finish the program about Factory 798 as a TV reporter.
2. Finish your plan about how to reuse our old school buildings.

A．ride：ride B．riding；ride C．ride；to ride D．t0 ride；riding

(2)一Which would you prefer ，tea 0r coffee?
I'm not thirsty．Thanks anyway．
A．better；Neither B．best；Both C．more；None D．不填；Neinler
[解析]prefer的含义为like doing sth else better，释义中已含有比较级的意味，因此在实际运用中，不再与比较或最高级连用；从答语的“不口渴”，可知，无论是茶还是咖啡，都不想品尝，因此否定两者用neither，而用来否定三者或以上的副词要用none。[答案] D

[解析] 本题既考查了insist on与同义词sitck to的区别，又兼顾了stick out／with的用法。insist on后一般接v一ing形式，表示“坚持做某事”，很少直接接名词或从句。stick out意为“伸出；坚持到底(vi)”，stick with意为“和……在一起；扎／刺”，二者均不符合题意。 [答案]B

(3)The cook______the soup．It_______delicious．
A．tasted；tasted B．is tasted；is tasted
C．tasted；was tasted D．i8 tasted；tastes
[解析] 分析句子结构及用法可知，第一空测试taste作为实义动词的用法，含义为“品尝（某食物）”，是个及物动词；第二空因为有句未形容词delicious ，所以taste此时“摇身一变”，变成了连系动词，表示“尝起来”，后接形容词作表语，无被动式。
9．convenient adj．方便。便利的
I’m willing to meet you on any day that is convenient for you．
我乐意在你方便的任何日期与你相见。
[考题9] Come over and have a chat witlI me whenever_______ ．
A．you will be convenient B．it wiU be convenient to you
C．you are convenient D．it is convenient to you
[解析] It is+adj.for sb．／sth．to do sth．为固定词组。类似于
convenient用法的还有necessary、national、important、impossible等等，这些形容词都是用来说明做某些事的特点，因而不可用人作主语，而应用于上述句型当中。[答案]D

A．Wooden； sales B．wood；sales C．Wood；sale D．wooden；sale
[解析]在Wood与carve之间存在动宾关系：所以形成构词法时，用“名词+ V．-ing'’形式，即wood carving；表示“销售”时。作定语要用sales。[答案] B
11．表示“忍受”的三个词(组)
它们是stand、bear与put up with。

A．build up B．1ook at C．think D．take care
[解析]依题意，可知1ook at符合题意，在句中表示“彻底检查”之意。若选D项则加0f。若用build one's body则表示“强身健体”，也不完全符合题意。[答案] B
15．句型A is to B what C is to D的用法
这个句型是用来打比喻的，用已知来比喻未知。它的主句是作者要告诉读者的语义重点(新信息)，而what从句只不过是读者已知的内容(道理)而已。what在这种句型中是关系代词，在语义上相当于that which(the thing which)。what从句在主句中起表语(主语补语)的作用，what在句中也起表语(主语补语)的作用。
The Chinese Communist Parst is to people what fish is to water．
中国共产党对于人民就像鱼对于水
[考题15] Reading is to the mind_______food is to the body．
A．what B．that C．which D．of which (大学生竞赛题)
[解析] 句意为“读书之于头脑正如食物之于身体。”What food is to the body这个从句表达的是读者已知、熟悉的内容，而reading is to the mind才是全句的语义重点。又如：
Furniture is to the living room what playground equipment is to the playground．
家具对于卧室就像体育设施对于操场。[答案]A
16．“充当”的三种表达
act as作“充当；起……作用”。类似用法有 work as．serve as . .

He will serve as mayor．他将任市长一职。
The sofa served as a bed．那张沙发作为床用。
[考题16]_____monitor of our class，little Mike decided to
_____his classmates heart and soul．
A．Serving as；serve B．Serving as；serve as
C．Serving；serve as D．Serving；serve
[解析] 本题要求区别serve与serve as的用法。前者为“为……服务”，后者为“作为…’’。从语境可知，第一空符合后者，第二空符合前者。
[答案]A
17．“不顾”的两种表达
despite作介词，意为“尽管(有某种情况)”。In spite of与其意义及用法完全相同，可以互换。
He came to the meeting despite his serious illness.尽管他的病很严重，他还是来出席会议了。
Despite advanced years-he is 1earning t0 drive．
尽管有一大把年纪了，他还是开始学起开车来。

[考题17]一You 1ook upset．Anything wrong?
一I failed in the physics exam again___all the efforts I made．
A．in spite of B．because of C．but for ．as to (2003年武汉市训练题)
[解析] 答语前半句意为“我的物理考试又失败了”，后半句意为
“我作了全部努力”，两句之间存在着让步关系，所以填表示该关系的in spite of，相当于despite。而because of所表示的含义与情理不符，but for引导虚拟语气，也不合题意。As to表示“至于，关于”，被排除。[答案]A
18．“连接”的两种表达
(1)join to作“把……和……连接在一起”。
He joined the two pieces of wood with nails．‘他用钉子把那两块木板钉起来。
The worker are joining an island to the mainland by a bridge．

[考题18] (1)A good student must_____what he reads_______what he sees around him．
A．connect；to B．join；to C．connect；with D．join；with
[解析]本题测试了“把……与……连接起来”的表达，看起来B项与C项均可，但本题并未强调外形结合及连接后的独立性(join的用法)，而是强调“关联；联系”：一个善于学习的学生应该把所学的知识与所见所闻联系起来。答案为C。
(2)Countries all over the world are______with computer．
A．joined B．connected C．taken D．related
[解析] join与relate均与介词to连用。只有be connected with才为正确表达。表示“由……连接”。[答案] B
19．“make+宾语+宾语补足语”的用法
这个结构中的宾语补足语可以用名词、形容词、动词的过去分词、不定式、副词等表示宾语的情况或动作。make带不定式作宾语补足语时，要省略不定式符号，但当make用于被动语态时，不定式符号不能省略。

(2)He is made_______monitor of our class．
A．a B．the C．one D．不填
[解析]在"make+宾语+宾补”句型中，如果作宾补的名词是表示独一无二的职位时，该名词前不再加任何冠词；。否则会产生误解与歧义。[答案] D

A．take B bring C．set D．carry

21．过去分词作宾语补足语的学习
(1)在某些动词如make，have，get，find，keep，leave或某些介词(如with)等感觉动词等后面往往可以带上宾语及宾语补足语(对宾语进行进一步补充、说明、修饰、限定)形式。充当宾语补足语的重要部分之一是过去分词，用来表示该动作的被动与完成。
