【重点难点讲解】
1．And she's left about $ 4 million in her will to her husband's daughter by his first marriage.
在她的遗嘱里，她给她丈夫第一次结婚所生的女儿留下了约400万美元。
1）leave 在句中?"留给"、"留交"解，常用在"leave sth. to/ with Sb."(把……留给……)结构中。例如：
You'd better leave the matter to Jim. 你最好把这件事交给吉姆。
Leave that to me. I'll take care of it. 把那事交给我，我来负责办。
He has left a number of books with me. 他把好些书存留在我这儿了。
I'll buy the food. I leave the cooking to you. 我去买食物。做菜的事就交给你了。
2）in one's will在某人的遗嘱中。at will随意地，随心所欲地。against one's will违背本意，无可奈何地。
2．When my aunt was buried, Clare turned up at the service, and afterwards stayed for tea while the family's lawyer explained how my aunt's money was to be divided up. 我姑妈下葬时，克莱尔突然出现在葬礼上，随后留下来吃午后茶点，这时候，家庭律师对我姑妈的钱财如何分配的问题作了说明。
1)turn up到来，出现，找到。常指出乎意外地到来或找到(to arrive or be found, often unexpectedly)。例如：
Guess who turned up at Mary's wedding. 猜一猜，谁突然出现在玛丽的婚礼上。
The book you have lost will turn up someday. 你丢失的那本书总有一天会找到的。
The long-lost watch turned up down the back of the old chair. 丢失很久的那只手表突然在那张旧椅子的靠背下边找到了。
2)句中的 tea指"下午茶"或"午后茶点"(a small meal usually served in the late afternoon with a cup of tea)。这是西方人的习俗，在下午四点钟左右要喝杯茶，吃一点点心。例如：
They have tea at half past four。他们在四点半钟吃下午茶点。
What are we having for tea today? 今天下午茶点我们吃什么呢？
3．And Clare said, "Did they use to go out a lot together, you know, for meals and to concerts and the cinema?"克莱尔说道，"他们过去常常一块儿外出吗？比方说，去吃饭，去音乐会和去看电影？"
本句中的 Did they use to go out…? 是 used to的疑问式。
4，Can you go through them and give me whatever you find ?
你能否翻一翻这些文件，然后把你找到的所有东西给我。
go through仔细检查；浏览，翻阅，搜查；穿过，通过；经历，经受，忍受。如：
I went through the papers looking for Jane's letter .
5．He married my aunt in 1971, so Clare would have been five years old.
他是1971年同我姑妈结婚的，因此，克莱尔想必已经五岁了。
句中的would表示猜测，作"想必是……"解，构成"would +v."结构(想必是……)或"would have + p. p. "结构(想必已经是……)。例如：
The person you mentioned would be Della. Is that right? 你提到的那个人想必是德拉。对吗？
--In which year did he join the army? --It would be 1983, I think. 他是哪一年参军的？-我想大概是1983年。
6．Maybe there are some things among your aunt's papers, like Clare's school reports, old photographs, and so on. 在你姑妈的文件中也许会有什么东西，如克莱尔的学校成绩单，旧的照片，等等。
句中的papers作"文件"、"证件"解，是可数名词，可以有单数和复数形式。例如：
You'll have to show your papers at the gate. 你必须在大门口出示你的证件。
The paper should be signed before it becomes effective. 这份文件必须签字才能生效。
paper作可数名词时，还可以作"报纸"、"论文"、"试卷"解，可以有复数形式。例如：
What news is there in the papers this morning? 今天早上的报纸上有什么消息？
All of us have read Martin's scientific papers. 我们大家都读过马丁的科学论文。
All the examination papers should be handed out before Friday. 所有考卷都应在星期五以前分发出去。
paper作"纸张"解时是不可数名词，如果我们需要表示数量，则应当使用表示"量"的用语(如 a piece/sheet of paper; three pieces/ sheets of paper)。
7，The lawyer was brief and to the point . 律师说话简单扼要，直截了当。
to the point 中肯；贴题；扼要。 常在句首作插入语。 已学过的类似结构还有：to tell you the truth说真的，to be brief简而言之；to be honest说实在的；to begin with 首先，第一；to make a long story short长话短说，简而言之；to sum up总之。
9．She instructed in her will that if that were to happen, all the money should go to an organization for helping the blind called'Helping Hand'. 她在遗嘱中指示说，如果发生这种情况的话，这笔钱就该全部归于一个叫做"援助之手"的盲人救济组织。
1)这是一个复合句。主句是：She instructed in her will。后面紧跟-个由从属连词that 引导的宾语从句：that if that were to happen… called'Helping Hand'。这个宾语从句本身又是一个复合句。主句是：all the money should go…'Helping Hand'。从句是：if that were to happen(that是代词，作主语，代替上文所说的情况)，意即：if Ms Flower were to die before her(万一弗劳尔女士先她而死)。
2)注意，在宾语从句中包含有一个if从句。这是一个虚拟条件句，表示与将来情况可能相反，或者说表示将来实现的可能性不大的情况。这种虚拟语气的用法是：
从句中 主句中
were to (should) + v. should/ would + v.
If I were to do it, I would do it in a different way.要是我来做这事，我会是另一种做法。
If he were to receive the cheque, he wouldn't pass it to you. 要是他收到了那张支票，他是不会把它交给你的。
Nothing would happen to us if the police officer should come earlier. 要是警官来得早些，我们就不会发生什么事了。
If they were to ask for my permission, I should say"no"to them. 要是他们要求我批准，我会说"不同意"。

三、阅读理解：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
In 1955, a man named Raymon Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They operated a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was
easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, french fries, and cold drinks were the main foods on the limited menu. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, "McDonald's," and they were an instant success. He later took over the company and today it is one of the most famous and successful "fast-food" chains in America and the world.
Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his
timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. During the 1960s, the movement for equality between men and women and an economy(经济) that needed more families to have two money-earners resulted in many women returning to the workplace. This meant that they had less time and energy to do housework, so they depended more on fast-food restaurants.
Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone because of divorce(离婚) or a preference for a "single lifestyle" also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
Fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another of the 1960s was called back-to-nature-movement. More and more Americans based their diets on natural foods. This preference for natural foods continues to this day. These products can now be found not only in the special health food store but also in many supermarkets.
1."Cooking for one is more trouble than it is worth." in the third paragraph means ____.
A.cooking for several people is worth more money
B.it takes too much time and effort to cook for one person
C.there are more problems when one person cooks
D.people cooking together has less trouble than one person cooking
2.The main idea of the reading is that ____.
A.Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world
B.social and economic changes affect eating habits
C.Americans in general eat either fast food or natural food
D.food changes faster than society
3.An idea implied but not directly stated in the reading is that ____.
A.natural foods are still popular today
B.many married women began to work in the 1960s
C.divorce causes people to change their eating habits
D.not only Americans but also people all over the world like McDonald's food
4.Which of the following was not the reason for Raymond Kroc's success?
A.his partnership with the McDonald brothers
B.the back-to-nature movement
C.a changing economy
D.convenient food's help to single people
5.Which of the following is not true according to the reading?
A.The women's liberation movement helped Raymond Kroc's success.
B.Raymond Kroc became successful very quickly.
C.There are a lot of "McDonald's" restaurants today.
D.Raymond Kroc's success took place between 1950s and 1960s.

讲解
一、
2.根据前句"他已经做完工作"，现在要考虑的是剩下的事情，用It only remains for sb. to do sth.是"某人所要做的只剩…"的意思；而left，应该用在被动语态中。C、D意义不对。
3.根据后半句，既然由他来管，前面应该选具有"留下"意义的词，A、D虽然有这个意思，但它们都是不及物动词，不能接宾语；keep是"保留"的意思，与句意不符。
4.根据后半句的but和off the point，应选反义词to the point。
6.根据句意"要找的人不在"，这四个词组中只有check out－－"付帐而离开"可以说明其原因。
7.根据问题问的是过去的情况，回答时也应该谈过去的情况。用used to do结构来谈过去的情况，同时根据否定回答，选否定式。
8.本句的意思是她"不可能"做这样的事，而不是"不能"做这样的事。
10.smile是不及物动词，不能用它的过去分词来修饰名词；同时D中完成式不能用作定语， 只能选smiling。
11.根据答句，前句应该是"分书"，后面才能说到有三本书剩下。
12.本句是倒装句，谓语动词要与后面的主语一致，同时与前面的表语搭配应选were而不是have。
14.根据句意要选让步关系的连词"即使"。
二、
2.根据上文，作者提到Sophy 经常使自己生气，她不断抽烟而且从不用烟缸，这自然会使作者生气，因此这个空要选否定词never。
5.B、C、D三个选项虽然都可以与with搭配，但根据下文提到的作者女儿对Sophy的亲切态度，可见应该选successful。
8.在这一段中，作者讲述了自己对Sophy的一些看法，Sophy以作者为伴，company在此正是"陪伴"的意思。
13.前句说到别人不喜欢Sophy，后句说到Sophy很好，因此前后的关系是让步关系，用even if连接，体现了两句之间的这种关系。
15.作者在上文中提到Sophy选择了她为伴，而其他人对Sophy都不好，那么作者就是她唯一的朋友了，因此选only。
16.根据下文中提到的unconnected"没有联系"，作者不是演艺圈人士，因此选theatre。
17.上文提到Sophy 选择作者的原因，接下来作者讲述自己的看法，for my part是"我这方面来说"，这是最佳选项。
19.看下文的that, 选such与之构成句型。
20.全文叙述到此，作者已经表达出自己并不讨厌Sophy了，因此要选nice。
