[精美语篇]

Dear John，

I have good news to tell you. A famous Shaoxing Opera, Butter fly Lovers, will be put on in Tianjin Grand Theater at 2：00 p．m. on August the fifth. I know you take a great fancy to Chinese culture, especially the local operas. I hope this opportunity will not only make you happy, but also satisfy your interest in Chinese operas. If you can come, I suggest we have a look at the Museum of the Traditional Opera near the theater after the performance. There, I believe, you can know the history of many Chinese operas, which can increase your knowledge about Chinese culture.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours，

虚拟语气(Ⅰ)

概念

虚拟语气是一种特殊的动词形式，一是用来表示说话人所说的话不是一个事实，而是一种假设、

猜测、怀疑等；二是表示说话人的愿望、要求、命令、建议等。

虚拟语气在条件状语从句中的用法

1．与现在相反：从句用一般过去时(be用were)，主句用“would/could/should/might＋动词原形”

If I won the lottery, I would buy an expensive car.

2．与过去相反：从句用过去完成时，主句用“would/could/should/might＋have＋动词过去分词”

If he had driven more carefully, he would not have had the car accident yesterday.

3．与将来相反：从句用一般过去时(be用were)或were to do或should do形式，主句用“should/would/could/might＋动词原形”

If he were to come, what should we say to him?

4．混合条件句

主从句的动作发生在不同的时间，这时主从句中动词的虚拟语气形式因时间不同而不同，这叫作混合条件句。

If he had asked him yesterday, you would know what to do now.

虚拟语气在宾语从句中的运用

1．wish后的宾语从句

(1)表示对现在情况的虚拟：从句用一般过去时或过去进行时(be动词用were)

I wish I were a bird and could fly in the sky.

(2)表示对过去情况的虚拟：从句动词用“had＋过去分词”

I wish I hadn't eaten so much watermelon.

(3)表示对将来的主观愿望：从句动词用“would/could＋动词原形”

I wish you would come soon.

2．as if/though

由as if/though引导状语从句时，谓语动词用过去式(be用were)或“had＋过去分词”或“would/could/might＋动词原形”

He looks as if he were an artist.

She talks about Rome as though she had been there herself before.

He learns English so hard as if he would go to the USA.

就不存在。

2．They were abroad during the months when we were carrying out the investigation, or they ________ (come) to our help.

答案：would have come考查对过去情况的虚拟。由前句中的were一词可知，此处是对过去情况的虚拟，故主句谓语应用would have come。

3．If I ________(see) it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.

答案：hadn't seen考查if条件句中对过去情况的虚拟。句意：如果不是亲眼所见，我是不会相信的。根据主句谓语可知，应用过去完成时，故填hadn't seen。

4．It is lucky we booked a room, or we ________ (have) nowhere to stay now.

答案：would have考查对现在情况的虚拟。句意：幸运的是我们预订了一间房，否则我们现在就没有待的地方了。or之前的句子是陈述语气，表示一种客观事实；or之后的句子是虚拟语气，与现在相反，故填would have。

5．How I wish I ________ (become) an astronaut in the future!

答案：would/could become考查对将来情况的虚拟。句意：我多么希望将来我能够成为一名宇航员啊！wish后的宾语从句中表示对将来的主观愿望用“would/could＋动词原形”。

Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)

A

When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”，you'd shake W1 your finger at me and ask, “How could you？”—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch W2and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.

My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together.

We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually W3，you fell in love P1. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated W4by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. Y ou've made the right decision for your “family”，but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and s aid, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you？” were the only three words that swept W5over my mind.

Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind P2and that this was all a bad dream.

My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

A water lily painting, Water Lily Pond, by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist, was sold for more than $80 million Tuesday, breaking the auction(拍卖) record for himself. Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up P1for sale during his lifetime.

The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated W1by the artist in 1919. One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $12.1 million and is in a private collection now. The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War Ⅱ.

“After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone, the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80.4 million, setting a new world record price for the artist at auction，” said Olivier Camu, a scholar of impressionist art.

The last record for a Monet work was set in P2May when Le Pont du Chemin de fer a Argenteuil sold for $41.4 million.

The painting sold Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $320,000. It has not been exhibited W2since.

Monet's later works had unique characteristics W3，especially Grandes Decorations, another good example, which was bedded in Musee de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.

Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny, France. He selected W4different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible, specially creating the garden as a base W5for his paintings.
